Perhaps. I’m related to a family of magats, and they love shopping in bulk. Many of their friends do too.

Many of them have this mindset that at some point everything in the world is going to break down and that they’re going to have to bunker down in their houses.

This is where my thoughts come from. I’ve never actually heard it correlated to the rapture itself though, but I figure that’s probably up there on the list.

It’d be pure irony if this isn’t a troll account. Conservatives love to buy in bulk as if they’re preparing for the apocalypse rapture. Costco and Sam’s are infested with them.

:3

The irony is that reddit users would say the same about other people on other platforms.

The real reason you kept singing outside of chorus and why you learned how to play the guitar in high school.

It’s just a big cat.

Unfortunately people never seem to get tired of attempting to mess with those that choose this lifestyle.

I do this quite often with my void. He loves to stretch himself out and take two thirds of my desk chair. I just deal with it by taking up the remaining space and sharing it with him.

I haven’t had contact with my family for a while and I’m so much better for it.This Thanksgiving we slept in half the day, played music, napped some more and read.

Someone still protests occasionally regarding how I cut my family off, but she’s still too soft on conservatives. You have to understand that nothing you say will change their minds in most cases. If you could have changed them or made them see reason then you would have done so a long time ago. Yes they are misguided, yes the system is at fault for the creation of this cult, but there isn’t anything you can do either. Put your own mental health first.

It’s been threatened before. I just wish it would happen already. Surely there have been enough complaints about this woman at this point.

She fits every piece of criteria for disbarment too, not that we care about half of it of the most time, but it’s rare that you have someone who is this awful in every regard.

Not particularly.

There was so much to deal with back then. So many different rule sets to follow, so many differences in each community, so many sign-up and on-boarding processes for posting or contributing each.

I miss the internet itself from that time period, and I realize that there is a certain community feel that is missing due to how congregated the current internet is, but I still don’t really miss forums specifically all that much.

My wife begged to go to family gatherings the first year we were together even though I told her exactly what they were like and insisted I would rather do anything else.

It only took one holiday season for her to understand, and we no longer have to tolerate this.

It might be, but it was posted a couple of days ago as well apparently.

Don’t prove I’m right?

It’s not entirely surprising. This administration has some of the worst representation that I have ever seen.

The vast majority of their victories in the courts have been due to corruption.

Nah, there was just an option to get the Professor’s rating at the computers based on your progress. It’s doesn’t really do anything, and the feature gets removed later on.

In later games you’d want to talk with the professor(s) directly for item rewards, and the little screen certificates you get for a full completed dex have always come from the fourth wall breaking gamefreak employees in the game.

In the show it already has most of the data, I don’t think it’s ever elaborated on there either. The pokedex can be used as a trainer id somehow.

In first handful of games it needs to be manually completed. Owning a pokedex is quite rare though so it’s not a crowdsourced task. Not entirely sure why it’s not. It’s made clear that the people with a pokedex at this time are favored by the professors. No connections or fateful encounters, no journey.

During the fifth generation I would say it had changed just based on the atmosphere in the first set of gen 5 games where it’s acknowledged that the professor works with parents to enable their children to go on journeys. In the following two games going on a journey really seems to become a rite of passage, compared to the first four where the player character is very fortunate to have the opportunity.

By generation 8 the pokedex is now a public application that can be put on your phone, meaning it’s probably crowdsourced at that point.

She didn’t have to tell people this either. She could have easily kept advertising the project, building up hype for it and lying about how close they were to completing the tool without ever announcing it as completed.

You can lead investors on like that. Unless the fraud is completely exposed many investors will often continue to invest in these projects out of fear of missing out.

This is just what I’ve heard, but apparently 67 comes from a rap song called Doot Doot by Skrilla. The 67 is a reference to the 10-67 police code for a report of death.

Allegedly. I doubt the kids are saying it for any reason though.

They could just be disassociating. Escapism is very real too, and I know plenty of people around my age that would just rather not think about the issues at hand when they feel that they are completely powerless.
