there's a certain one I want to remember but can't think of it right now although Election Day 2012 was pretty good for me. Worked my ass off but it was pretty much the perfect day. I'm always reminded of it when I hear this song:

Fuck the GameStop ones.
I hate even setting foot there. <_<
Oh well--it's cool that they're doing this.
GameStop is about the only store I regularly go to that I HATE. Getting bombarded with sales pitches every time starts to feel like that damned perfume department scene in Spongebob, and the employees at my outlet don't even like these stupid event cards. >.> I'm glad for these pokes though, I missed a bunch when I skipped Gen V and early Gen IV.

Pokémon's turning frickin' 20 years old this year, so Ninty is giving away Mythic Pokes all year round. If you keep up with these and got Hoopa last year, you'll eventually have collected all of the Mythic Pokémon. It's a pain to get them, because they're alternating between Wi-Fi/GameStop/GAME/wherever the fuck. But you can get them for XY and ORAS, so it's a pretty good deal. I'm getting both because, uh, greed. (Mythic is also apparently the official term for these mons, now. Mythic pokes are the rarest legendaries, usually exclusive to special events. If you're looking to complete your Pokédex, these are must-haves!) First up is Mew at GameStop, starting February 1. The last time Mew was given away was in 2010 for the 10th anniversary of Gold and Silver. It's also pretty much the most famous Pokémon ever that isn't Pikachu or a Kanto starter. And for ease of reference, here's a stolen US event schedule: Mew: February 1 - 24, 2016 at GameStop Celebi: March 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network Jirachi: April 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network Darkrai: May 1 - 24, 2016 at GameStop Manaphy: June 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network Shaymin: July 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network Arceus: August 1 - 24, 2016 at GameStop Victini: September 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network Keldeo: October 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network Genesect: November 1 - 24, 2016 at GameStop Meloetta: December 1 - 24, 2016 at Nintendo Network

EFF BEE EYE F F B E E E Y E Oh god yeah, I played it a few years ago and it was one of the more engaging games I've played in a long time. Got sidetracked and never got to finish marathoning to the end, and I can't bring myself to go back after all this time. I remember it very fondly, including its rather hilarious shortcomings.

Alright, now we're finally getting somewhere. Let me just explain my thought process:
Yes, I did conflate science with the scientific method, it seemed obvious that the only thing you needed to do science was follow a simple procedure that produces results; the entire time I've had mathematical physics as an example in my mind, and there's no ethics involved in studying solutions to differential equations, so of course from my point of view it looks like a cut and dry question: Do you need ethics for science? no because there are cases in which no living things are involved but you're still doing science. Think axiomatically, the simplest kind of science is just the maths behind science, that's your foundation, then once you have your foundation you build it up and add new details, ethics being added when you start considering living things. But that was my point, you add the ethics afterwards, it's a correction not an axiom. Even when put that way, it's still a bit wrong. Ethics also includes honesty, that you're not falsifying or skewing your data and that you're not stealing it from someone else. It's a continuous process that, out of necessity, must encompass each step of the process if it's to be followed. I figure it's not as prominent in different fields, so there's probably a bunch of folks who don't need to consciously think about it, because it's just second nature. When I made the "you can confirm a hypothesis" statement the exact thought that went through my head was "I know goddamn well you can't prove a theory in science, I hope he doesn't think that's what I'm saying" and yet he goes on to do exactly that. There's a right way and a wrong way to go about explaining that. Uh... you chose the wrong way >.> And as I'm trying to clarify what I mean you two start calling everything damage control. How am I meant to respond to that?
"here's what I mean"
"lol damage control"
"no really let me explain"
"daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamage control"
"It's not damage control just hear me out"
"pseudointelectual damage control"
And with my discussion with you, from my point of view you can't even read a dictionary and yet you're calling me an idiot. That looked to me like a serious case of the pot calling the kettle black, it really gives off the "everyone in the world is so stupid except for me" kind of vibe, I really hadn't a clue what to say to you after that. Alright, points taken. I apologize. This whole discussion is a mess, and I fully admit that it's my fault. I know damn well that I have a lot more to learn about science, I wouldn't have spent the last few years studying my ass off to get into University if I didn't. And I'm aware that when I get into discussions on the internet I say stupid things and mess up. I deserve some of that blame too. I wasn't very... constructive. Because you and turkey have been incredibly unconvincing with every argument you've made, after all this the best you can give me is "The scientific method is one way that science is practiced. It is not science, per se." real fucking descriptive.
Welp, that's what happens when I try to post at 1am. Here's something a little more in-depth.

This is some grade-A semantics damage control. Thanks for that gem, Turkey.
Heaven-forbid if a website based in the western hemisphere with users in the western hemisphere talk about science by western hemisphere civilization. And heaven-forbid if I correctly answer a question that's broader than you realize.
You weren't even talking about science. You were talking about some sort of erroneous conflation of science and the scientific method. Not my fault that the very premise of your (changing) argument was flawed. It's not like we didn't try to correct you.
"his argument wasn't what I thought it was, therefore everything he said is damage control"
"I can't read, therefore everything he says is semantics"
"I'm going to assume his premise was something other than what he stated and call him a retard for that, that'l show him"
But you know what, if you are as smart as you think you are then just tell me what the difference is between science and the scientific method, I'm always happy to admit I'm wrong and learn from my mistakes, but so far you've just called me an idiot and dismissed everything I've said.
Keep up this damage control and you'll be well on your way to being the new Kinder. For the record, I and Turkey gave you perfectly valid explanations that you promptly dismissed. You continued to show a lack of understanding of the very basics of science, insisting that dictionary definitions cover the broader nuances of science as a whole, and that we're the ones trying to change meanings for our convenience. And when you've almost finally exhausted this, uh, arsenal of pseudointellectual techniques, things that were not relevant before suddenly became relevant.Every step of the way, you have been resistant towards the possibility that you were even slightly wrong. I sincerely doubt your claim that you'll admit your mistakes, because you've given zero indication so far of such a miracle occurring. But fine, I'll humor you anyway. The scientific method is one way that science is practiced. It is not science, per se. It is also not written in stone, as it's undergone a shit ton of changes over time. Research ethics, when applied to science, is meant to cover each step of the scientific method. It's an overarching concept that's intended to be kept in mind and practiced by researchers, all of the time. Damn, I'm too tired, I'll finish this up tomorrow if I remember whatever else I meant to add. Keep in mind, I was already tired when I wrote it, and it's very simplified explanations.

One imposition is direct, the other is indirect. If you're affecting yourself in a private and secluded way, the broader results cease to matter. Individual rights trump social troubles that might arise from exercising those rights.
This is such a meaningless way of dismissing externalities though; why should I be able to impose costs on third parties, regardless of size, simply because of my setting?
I feel like your priorities are a bit out of order. boo hoo society  How about, uh, the individual? To answer your question, because, practically speaking, the alternative is draconian. We don't need a nanny state. But having said that, this discussion's a bit vague. Real-life examples might lend some progress to this discussion that hypotheticals won't. But at the time, you dismissed it as irrelevant, because, uh... 
Because I came into this thread to argue an abstract idea, that:
"Science isn't about getting as much information as possible" I would argue that that is the only purpose of science
when you start quantifying your statements with "modern" and "eurocentric" we're no longer discussing a philosophy in general terms. You may as well have said "but on the island of whothefuckknowswherethisislandis the people there think science is about having orgies with goats" - sure that's what that specific group of people are doing on that specific island at that specific point in history, but that's not what I was talking about.
This is some grade-A semantics damage control. Thanks for that gem, Turkey.

And heaven-forbid if I correctly answer a question that's broader than you realize. You weren't even talking about science.

Note, I don't support the idea mentioned in the OP. It's just an interesting consideration.
Except that's the opposite of my argument;
Okay, that clears things up immensely. I have to admit, I was a bit confused figuring out what you were trying to say. It sounded to me (and possibly Turkey) that you were actually supporting this stuff. You just said it again. Have some self awareness and learn to distinguish between the definition of a thing, and the practices of certain people in certain countries.
That's why I specified: Modern, Eurocentric science
But at the time, you dismissed it as irrelevant, because, uh...
