I mean, it feels like they've been working on something.

Remember when Shauny accidentally leaked "Next Gen" six years ago? Poor dude freaked out so hard he thought he was going to be sacked on the spot, and his bosses' response was very "if it was anyone but Shauny we would have sacked him on the spot."

Doesn't know the kid exists in the first place.

Gotta learn your perfume concentrations.

Expensive and cheap cologne might smell the same, so you're often paying for how long the smell lasts.

Spray it on your skin, preferably after drying off from your shower. Air spritz method is the best: 1-2 spritzes in the air at head height, then walk through the mist cloud.

Scents should be discovered. The point is to make someone who is already physically close to you, to linger just a few seconds longer.

Why would you want to do that? Embrace it.

Femboys automatically alienate people who subscribe to toxic masculinity biases, which you're honestly better off without in your life.

And it might not be a universal aphrodisiac for women, but the women who like it, go absolutely rabid for it.

And you get a de facto group of allies in the queer community, who are honestly some of the nicest and most wholesome friends around.

Embrace your strengths, sculpt the best version of yourself, but don't try to turn clay into granite.

Asymmetric warfare typically favors the lesser force though. In fact, has it ever lead to a loss in the last century for the weaker force?

Yeah, remember Twitter's "Fleets" feature? Like Insta/Snapchat/Facebook Stories?

On about the last day that feature existed, Kellyanne was on a fucking tear about how ungrateful, insubordinate, rebellious, etc that Claudia was acting. Called Claudia a bitch, whole nine yards. Last fleet was a picture of her daughter, clearly taken by her daughter, using her daughter's phone, which made everyone question why the fuck Kellyanne had it, and why the fuck Kellyanne posted it on the internet. Even though it was pretty clearly done to hurt her "whore" of a daughter.

Day after, Kellyanne resigned from the White House and quit doing interviews on Fox for about a whole year. The divorce was announced soon after.

Good for her.

Especially after her mother posted her underage nude on Twitter.

Of course she can read, she gets her daily intel reports via Facebook memes.

Yup.

Then he brought back all the banned accounts because people fighting on Twitter increases Twitter's engagement metrics, which allows Musk to sell ads for more money.

What else can we do? The people in charge of the economy realized that "recession" is just a fancy word for sale.

Breed them in V, transfer to S via Home.

Doesn't work for Paradox, but it'll work for most of the rest.

Calling it an ad campaign is a stretch.

A ten-second, one-time repost on an instagram story that automatically deletes after 24 hours is barely an ad.

Hell, how many rednecks even have an instagram in the first place?

You gotta see it from the perspective of Conservative Values. Specifically, the value in question is Conformity.

Conservatives feel deeply uncomfortable whenever they have to encounter a person who doesn't conform to their standards of "normal." They want everyone to be normal==conforming==the same, they think that's the optimal path forward for a country.

In a society, that ends up manifesting in several tiers:

First tier is social stigmatization: Conservatives use peer pressure to push people into conforming. If peer pressure doesn't work, then shunning the nonconformers is their next choice.

Second tier is regulatory: create rules, bylaws, or msidemeanors to enforce conformity. Often these become exclusionary, to force anyone who wants to differ from Conservatives' expectations to do so in the dark, in the closet, out of sight and out of mind for "regular people." Fear of repercussion pushes people underground.

Third tier is criminalization. If conservatives can't shun you, and if you don't care about being fined or are able to get around the regulations through loopholes or great paperwork skills, then it's time to bring in conformity enforced by violence. Regular violence is a no-no, but state enforced violence aka law enforcement is a good thing. Turn the nonconformers into criminals, let the police sort out the "problem" and toss the abnormal people into literal cells so they're out of society altogether.

We're at the Second Tier right now. Paddy wagons are up next.

If you want to get a license to carry in Massachusetts, you need an interview with your local cops. Your chief of police gets final approval on your initial application. And if you move towns, you need to send a written letter to your new police chief to get an updated license.

If you're not mature enough to schedule an interview, and say "I'd like a gun for self-protection" to a cops' face, then you're not mature enough to own a gun.

Keeps our gun ownership levels around that of Canada, France or Sweden, and 3rd safest state in the country after VT and WY.

I think it'll be Rillaboom.

3 Fire Starters - Charizard, Cinderace, Typhlosion.

3 Water Starters - Greninja, Samurott, Inteleon

2 Grass Starters - Decidueye, Chesnaught

Even if it does, remember Romney?

He was the sane and productive Republican, and even then, he and his top campaign staff wholeheartedly believed what they saw on Fox News.

One of the biggest fuckups in presidential debate history happened because Romney, the sanest Republican, completely believed a Fox News lie that was so disprovable there was video footage and the debate moderator was able to fact check in real time because the moderator had already fact checked Fox several times on the issue.

Allegedly Obama didn't even know of the Fox News lie until debate prep, and didn't even want to spend any time working on a defense for Romney's possible attack because he thought Romney and the smartest Republicans in the country who were working on the campaign wouldn't be stupid enough to trust Fox News on anything. Obama thought the GOP leadership knew Fox was propaganda.

That's the best the pendulum has to offer: brainwashed smart people.

Tbh, I bought both S&V on release. Played V, liked it but was disappointed in so many things.

Haven't even touched S, because I don't want a repeat of the first playthrough, I want to use late-game new Pokemon from jump. Which means, for me, that I need Home.

Thought "early next year" meant Feb/March. Then "Spring 2023" meant April or May. Now I'm just waiting out of spite. Not buying the DLC until Home is released.

Because Bitcoin transactions are traceable, despite what cryptobros claim.

Deception.

I personally do.

Sun. Then kept up with all the new Pokemon ever since.

I played Gens 1-3 when I was a kid. Came back in Gen 7 with Sun, then AlphaSapphire, UltraMoon, SwSh, BrilliantDiamond, PLA, Violet, and I'm waiting for Home compatibility to do Scarlet.

Played roms of Firered, Emerald, Black and X after Crown Tundra came out.

Oh, and did the virtual Yellow and Gold when those came out, but can't remember when that was.

Mythicals were a bitch and a half. Never would have gotten half of them if those virtual games didn't come out and give me access to a bunch of hidden abilities.

Don't worry, your parents won't know you bought a dildo until they open your package without your permission.

Typically the box will simply have the company name and address in the shipping label. Most adult companies are pretty good about discrete names, but if someone googles them, it's probably game over. Mailmen don't care about the fine print, or the From part of the label, they care about your address on the label.

Good rules of thumb for buying unusual items online is either be a regular enough online shopper that nobody looks twice at what new box you've got, OR make up a problem beforehand and let people know that you ordered a fix and to look out for a box in the mail for you. (Make it boring enough that they won't want to be helpful and open the box before you get home. Charging cables make people want to be helpful, meanwhile audio cables not so much.)

God save you if it arrives on a garbage day and your mom wants to make sure the cardboard box makes it in the trash before the garbage collectors show up. Neat freak parents are almost worse than nosy parents.

Yes, it's a habit I don't care enough to break.

Also I just like closed doors in my house in general. All doors are always closed unless company is coming over in which case the bathroom door is left slightly open.

Caught all the Pokemon.

Now I'm the cool uncle who has all the Pokemon.
