Leave you fucking piece of shit. You think America is a shitty country? Leave.

America is the best country on earth. There's a reason people risk their lives just trying to get into the country, let alone live the lifestyle you lead. You fucking maggots make me sick. You'll take advantage of everything America has to give, but you give nothing back. You don't lift a finger to improve your country. You know why? Because you're a fucking spineless loser and that's all you'll ever be for the rest of your god damn life you worthless sack of shit. You fucking spoiled piece of subhuman trash. You have no idea how good you have it. You don't deserve America.

I won't play Gen III at all until they re-release them on VC tbh, unless it doesn't seem like they're going to.

As for Gen IV, I definitely need to refresh myself with that (despite it being my least favorite gen and all).

Crystal progress:

Training to fight Clair. Four deaths total.

The squad:



More than six, because I simply can't decide on who should be mainstays. Bayleef, Graveler, and Noctowl are the earliest three that I use the most consistently, but everyone else is in constant flux and all have their own niche roles on the team, which is kinda cool. It's rare that I have this much variety, especially in Gen II of all things.

Bayleef should be evolving shortly, which will be hype. It's rare for my starter to make it this far, and for it to be the weakest starter in the entire series is pretty exciting for me.

I ban trading with anyone who isn't an NPC for my nuzlockes, so Machoke and Graveler won't be fully evolved at any point in the run. As such, they'll probably be retired soon, unless I need them for Strength.

i could evolve Clefairy and Growlithe, but they both learn some of their best moves at level 53 and level 50, respectively, so they'll be stuck this way for awhile yet unfortunately.

In the box, I have Suicune, Voltorb, Poliwhirl, Goldeen, Tentacool, Chinchou, Scyther, Pidgey, Magikarp, Zubat, and Spearow, and then I have two Aipom in the daycare, male and female, who I haven't checked up on at all, and I won't until just before the Elite 4 to see how many levels they've gained. They had an Egg, but I won't hatch it until the run is over, as per the nuzlocke rules.

RIP:



Wooper died early on during the second rival fight after sustaining a burn from Ember and a critical hit Tackle from his Quilava. Certainly avoidable, but definitely the most RNG-based death of the run so far.

Haunter died because I didn't expect Eusine to fight me randomly, and I wasn't prepared for his team. He sent out an Electrode, which I automatically assumed would use Self-destruct, so I sent out Haunter to nullify it. But it used Thunder instead, despite being level 25 or something. Definitely a lapse of judgment, since I could've switched for Graveler instead, who would've been able to tank a Self-destruct OR an Electric-type move, but I just panicked.

Ariados both died during the Team Rocket Radio Tower raid in ways that are foggy to me right now. It's one of the more brutal sections of the game, so someone was bound to die anyway.

In terms of encounters, I'm still saving Mt. Mortar for Tyrogue again.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a 7/10 album, and may just be the most overrated album of the decade.

The singles may all be really, really good. "Runaway" is my favorite, and "Monster" boasts the incredible feat of having a good Nicki Minaj feature which is pretty incredible. "Power" is good but it's hard to listen to it because of its status as the go-to lazy movie trailer or car advertisement song.

But "So Appalled" is the only standout track that isn't a single, and every other track (besides the intro, which has my favorite line on the entire album: "So many Urkels on your team/That's why you're wins low") ranges from completely forgettable to kinda mediocre.

I don't understand why people think this is one of the best or most important rap albums.

i'm going to post one random hot take in this thread per day, of varying lengths and coherence

Digital art can never and will never be as impressive as hand-drawn art. The intimacy of pen on paper, oil on canvas, etc. on top of the additional skills required to master those methods, like knowing how much pressure you have to put on the graphite as you're drawing, or knowing what specific two colors you need to mix in order to make the perfect shade, tint, or hue that you're looking for, among other things, are aspects that will forever be lost on digital art.

In hand-drawn art, making a big enough mistake means your piece is ruined and you have to start from scratch, and people did this for centuries. You also have to pay quite a hefty sum for all the materials required, some of which may not even be available to you. Digital art removes all of these problems, which may be an objectively good thing and all, but as a consequence, art made on a system where you never have to worry about running out of supplies or making any mistakes at all means that digital art cannot ever be truly impressive.

Show me a perfect and evocative self-portrait made with digital software, and I'll be like, "Cool." And then I'll forget about it the next day.

Show me a self-potrait like Jean-Paul Laurens, which was made during a time before any of the cushy technologies we use today were created, and I'll be fucking floored. It's fucking INSANE how people were able to make such realistic pieces with absolutely nothing to make the job easier, except for a mirror.

Talent isn't that cool. There are other factors going into this that I find a lot more interesting. Your art should have me wondering how the fuck you even made it in the first place. A wow factor, a je ne sais quoi. You don't get that with digital art because everybody understands how you were able to make it. You spent many hours on your tablet and pressed "undo" for every error a million times until you had it just right. It certainly takes talent, and a lot of perseverance, but it still doesn't leave me wondering, and that's part of what makes art of this kind beautiful.

If no external factors control oneself, then actions can not be predetermined by outside sources.
If I offer you a choice of $100 or $1, does my knowledge that you will choose the higher amount imply that I controlled your decision?
i will choose the $1 because i hate money and i just want to fuck with your example

not that i had the free will to make such a decision, or anything―i'm just preordained to be that way

the "knowledge" that i'd choose the higher amount is actually just an assumption, but just because you're not in control of me doesn't mean that i'm in control of me

"fuck off, you can't stop us from being worthless pieces of shit waste for the rest of time"

stupid fuck
You can relate to the great urgency of Man of Steel regardless of race, but Black Panther never achieves an interesting vision. The F/X, sets, and costuming are stock. They lack even the childlike idealization that made the “Africa” scenes of Eddie Murphy’s Coming to America and Michael Jackson’s Remember the Time music video such straight-up, feel-good versions of black anthropology. Afro-futurists will justify any whim, but how can they square the updated James Bond, Star Wars technology of the Wakandan people with the fact that they still live like the natives in Tarzan movies? This indicates how little Americans know about various cultures on the African continent. Black Panther’s Marvelization of black history and anthropology is pathetic, and the Marvelizing of black imagination is appalling.
I have no idea what you're talking about. The idea of copious nudity in Anime isn't particularly revolutionary. I don't mind it most of the time, though it gets on my nerves if the show wastes too many shots on pointless titillation.

That being said, there's no such thing as "hating" or "liking" anime in general; Unless you meant that as a shorthand for "I dislike most Anime I've seen so far". Anime isn't a genre, it's a medium. It'd be like saying you hate feature films.

if there were some way to alleviate all responsibility while retaining purpose in life, then you can bet i'd strive for it
tbh I'm not sure one could find purpose and meaning in life without responsibility.

but you are seeing a nation where you can't live a comfortable life without working to afford the resources you need to survive

which is worse
You, at least, aren't one to suggest that life would be better without work at all, are you?
to reiterate nix: from each according to his ability, to each according to his need

the fact of the matter is that some people just aren't cut out for work, which will only become increasingly true with the advent of automation

if you work at all, your incentive for doing so should not be monetary compensation, it should be the knowledge that you're contributing something useful to your society, whether it be food, entertainment, or some other good or service

everyone works for each other

I was just wondering if you were one to believe a life of nothing but leisure, one without responsibility, would be ideal.

Didn't think so.
well, only because we cannot create that kind of world out of thin air (barring total extinction)
