Anyone have a quick and dirty guide to breeding/EV training? I've never bothered with it but it seems interesting.

Suicide Squad meets Mission Impossible I don't even know why they rebooted such a good series instead of just starting an original IP. Oh wait, because it's the first move in the Universal Monsters shared cinematic universe.

So who's participating in the global mission? I'll probably try to catch 10 extra each day I play. Easy stuff like Magicarp or Route 1 catches.

A lot of mods haven't made it over to SSE yet, but they're all here.

I imagine Verb sees mods as a sort of fan fiction, which is generally trash and detracts from the artistic value of a work, despite being a form of artistic expression itself, often helping amateur writers gain exposure and experience -- and is often embraced by the original authors themselves as a way to build the fiction (JK Rowling is a prominent example).

Fuck this shit. It implies certain lives are "worth" more than others, when in reality all lives are equal.
No they aren't.
The life of some scumbag criminal worth far less than a child's life.
Yes, it is. All life is equal.
Especially an innocent child vs an innocent adult. Children don't get special importance when it comes to morality because of their youth. There's nothing immoral or innocence-reducing about existing longer than someone else.
You'd have a point if people existed in a vacuum, but the continued existence of civilization itself requires certain groups of people to be given more protection and "valued" more than others. You don't send all your women to war because that kills your ability to reproduce, and you don't let your children die because that undoes all your work on reproducing, and a society that does not reproduce dies out:
The continuance of civilization is kinda beyond the scope of this experiment though, right? It's silly to give children or women a higher value in these scenarios, because nothing is at stake that is affected by the potential number of deaths. If anything, a utilitarian argument would be that productive adults are much more valuable to society than children are. Though I do believe that the Moral Machine and similar Trolley Problems aren't very useful thought experiments to begin with.

Does anyone know of any good nicknames for a male Mimikyu? It's currently my best bro mon and I can't seem to think of a good name for it.
The Patriarchy Because it's a decoy that gets attacked instead of something real.

This is really neat. I do hope, however, that nuclear skeptics understand that nuclear waste isn't really much of a pressing issue. Its containment is already fairly simple, inexpensive, and safe.

What is reading comprehension?
What is not being an ass? Excuse me for not reading in detail corpprate law while cooking dinner. I forgot that showing any sign of pushback towards the constant deluge of often disingenuous media attention towards him is tacit dickriding. The belief that his kids can run the blind trust comes directly from an NPR report. Regardless, it seems like his position hasn't changed at all. From the beginning he's stated his children will control his assets, and yes, I'm sure there will be all sorts of controversial conflicts of interest during his tenure.

Yes, it is. The "blind" comes from being legally barred from discussing the business. A blind trust isn't some anonymous shadow organization.
yeah, and i'm sure he cares a whole lot about what he's "legally barred" from discussing with his own family
I don't intend to defend Trump, especially against baseless speculation.

No one said it was. But children being a blind trust is a blatant distortion of that term.
That specifies nothing about who specifically may be in control of a blind trust, let alone children of the official. It does in fact state that the purpose is remove the official from the management of the assets, as I said.

His kids can run it in a blind trust, as long as they don't discuss the business while he's president.
An alternative is that he can go public, which is unlikely

Probably for the same contrived reason the Joker and half of Batman's other villains don't do so.

Off campus is a better choice, though you'll probably be required to live on campus for a year or two. On-campus housing is generally much more expensive, and the only real benefit is being close to campus.
Share a place with friends, learn how to shop and cook and live outside of the comforts of a dining hall and one-room dorm.

I think the story is more compelling than Souls, and the environments are fantastic. If you like Souls games, you'll like Bloodborne.

Every article I've seen about this explicitly mentions ties to right extremism. Is there any question that the connections are there?
Are you asking if the guy was a right wing extremist, or if he has connections to right extremism as a whole?
Neither. The picture in the OP frames it as if nobody has fingered the guy as a far right extremist or neo-Nazi, but every article I've seen about it mentions it at length.

As a filthy Symmetra main, I'm absolutely pumped about her new ult and ability. Now I won't feel like a dick picking her in comp.

So you're equally good at all heroes and use them all equally? Of course not. I specialize in a few in each category, and symmetra is one of my best supports.
That's not maining fam.
It is in the context of a game with 22 characters.
This has been an incredibly stupid and trivial discussion. I hope you recognize that.

Yes, it was necessary for the whole ordeal to be over. Watergate was poisoning Americans' trust in the office of the presidency, and while the pardon was controversial, I think it helped.

Are you sure she doesn't give SOME kind of explanation?
Maybe it's not her clothing, but her animations, or maybe how the camera treats her.
It's apparent, even from the few seconds of clips. Her clothes aren't bad, but she's a typical femme fatale, which Anita dislikes (and gamers should prefer better and more unique characters in their games, too).

It's important to note that this hasn't been validated by anyone, let alone NASA. I read it as a paper by NASA scientists which has now been peer reviewed.
Eagleworks is NASA's fringe science lab -- we're not really talking JPL or KSC. It's not that I'm not excited or interested in this, it's that this is barely still a theory, let alone a proven method.

NASA peer-reviewed paper It's important to note that this hasn't been validated by anyone, let alone NASA. Until the experiment is replicated and actually analyzed, this means little more than what it did when it was leaked. Peer review ensures that at face-value, the experimental methods appear legitimate and not fabricated. It does nothing to affirm or deny its conclusions. Anyways, stay skeptical of stuff that sounds like its driven by error (and it's important to note that the amount of error measured, and the amount of actual thrust measured, are roughly equal. That's a huge discrepancy that they've failed to isolate. Testing in space would go a long way in doing so. One scenario is that they've discovered a physical reaction which is responsible for the apparent thrust that we can't understand at all -- which is great. Another is that their theories are correct, and they've discovered something new as well. The worst case scenario is that there is some sort of interaction occurring that they haven't corrected for, and it's biasing the results.
