very jealous.Who needs trigonometry when you have Pokemon Go?
The XY anime isn't going to end with the League. We still have to resolve the Team Flare conflict where one of the Zygarde cores will be used for the new destruction plan instead of the Ultimate Weapon (not to mention we still got a few months until the Sun and Moon anime comes out). Heck, there is speculation going on right now that this time, what could prevent Ash from winning the League won't be losing at some point, but rather, Team Flare interrupts the League near its end.And I wonder, if he actually wins after all this time, what are they going to do next? Turn him 11 years old to at least show he does have a different age every one hundred years...?
And something will become the Phlog where it's ridiculously OP for a little bit.Team Fortress's Competitive update goes live in about 7 hours or so.
What I'm most excited for is the balance changes. It's fun to see what useless weapons get reworked and what weapons that were alright get completely raked over the coals. RIP Cleadeamor.

Stats will probably be "decent" at best so I can see it getting an evolution where it'll be better but I can see this being as a Pokemon that inflicts (a bunch) status effects if it has the speed to go with it.Salandit emits toxic gas, together with flames, from the base of its tail. This poisonous gas has a sweet smell, and anyone who unknowingly breathes it in will become dizzy. Salandit is not a very powerful Pokémon, but its cunning nature allows it to battle fiercely by throwing its opponents off balance.
Salandit females not only release toxic gases, they can also emit pheromones that attract males of all species, including Pokémon and humans. Inhaling these pheromones may cause opponents to be controlled by Salandit’s will.
Salandit has the Corrosion Ability, a new Ability that no other Pokémon has possessed before. With the Corrosion Ability, it becomes possible to inflict the Poisoned status condition even on Steel- and Poison-type Pokémon.
You've heard wrong. While it's extremely unfortunate that someone died, black people aren't being hunted by the police like the media would have us think.So I don't know if this has been talked about yet.
But a black man was shot by a police officer in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. That in itself is becoming par for the course in the US as of late from what I've heard,
That's pretty bad though. I can't see why the officer shot the man....but this time, the man's girlfriend was in the car at the time, as well as her daughter. And the girlfriend livestreamed the whole thing to Facebook on her phone (after the initial shooting). Facebook deleted the video, but it's since been re-uploaded onto YouTube by others.
The boyfriend was the one driving the car, and was pulled over for a broken tail light. The boyfriend told the officer up front that he had a gun and had a permit for it, but was told to get his ID and wallet. He was shot at that point, 5 times in the arm, leaving him badly wounded. It's around that time the girlfriend starts recording, where you can see the man bleed to death.
I won't link the video itself because it's likely way too graphic and disturbing for a lot of people here, but here's an article on the subject that has the video embedded.
http://usuncut.com/black-lives-matter/minnesota-police-shooting-traffic-stop/
This is absolutely awful, and the police officers in question seem completely incompetent too.
I didn't say they're being hunted, but black people are frequently shot by incompetent police officers. That's an undeniable fact.You've heard wrong. While it's extremely unfortunate that someone died, black people aren't being hunted by the police like the media would have us think.
That's pretty bad though. I can't see why the officer shot the man.
But good lord woman, do something to help your boyfriend...
She was honestly.But good lord woman, do something to help your boyfriend...
If you watch the video, the reason she livestreamed it was because she was trying to contact a particular person (the video serving as proof of her situation). Her daughter was still on the scene and she wanted her to at least be picked up and taken somewhere safe.Though releasing it online, doesn't help much...
Specifically, it was the victim's mother who said "we are being hunted" in another story.I didn't say they're being hunted, but black people are frequently shot by incompetent police officers. That's an undeniable fact.
While I do think there are enough incidents of it for there to HAVE to be a degree of racism involved, I think it's more just sheer incompetence from young police officers who don't know how to handle a situation, or handle a gun. And then the media goes and calls these guys in the force for a year or two "veterans".
And watch the video. If she moved towards her boyfriend, she would have been shot, the police had guns pointed at her too. At the end of the video, you can also see her recording her time where she was in custody within the police car. You can also see her being handcuffed on the floor in the middle of the video.
The last few Generations have been pretty good about using new type combinations as we also got quite a few from Gen 5 with examples like Bug/Fire, Bug/Electric, Bug/Grass, Dragon/Electric, Dragon/Dark, Water/Ghost, and Fire/Ghost. It's been nice seeing them dip into the unused type combos as it's given us a lot of nice Pokémon concept.So.
Did some thinking.
With the advent of a few Megas in ORAS and the 20-ish mons we've seen of gen 7.
We've knocked off a few "unused type combinations" at the outset of Gen 6.
Poison-Fire, Fairy-Bug, Normal-Dragon, Psychic-Ghost, Fire-Water, Dragon-Fairy and Dragon-Grass.
Granted there's still like 30 left but it's interesting to note.
The officer was still pointing a gun at a man he just shot five times, was shaking, and was screaming the F word and things like "I TOLD HIM NOT TO REACH FOR HIS POCKETS", even though he actually did tell the man to reach for his ID.I did watch the video. She was pretty scared, but I personally would have tried to stop the bleeding while telling the officer what I was doing. That's just me though.
Perhaps.The officer was still pointing a gun at a man he just shot five times, was shaking, and was screaming the F word and things like "I TOLD HIM NOT TO REACH FOR HIS POCKETS", even though he actually did tell the man to reach for his ID.
That is not the kind of guy you're going to be able to reason with. Not to mention the fact there were other police officers outside the car that had guns on them, and continued to point their guns at the woman as she was being escorted out of the car.
Her choice was listen to the police officers, or be shot.
Well yes, that's supposed to be the standard protocol.Hands Up, Don't Shoot.
That's all I'll say.
Do you, like classical humanists, believe that humans are inherently flawed despite their individual value?Had it been a black police officer shooting a while person, the reactions probably wouldn't have been the same.
Yet, I would condemn it all the same, assuming the circumstances were the same. Speaking of those, from what I could understand, the police officer is at fault.
Police officers in the US seem a little too trigger happy (well, "trigger happy" is what I would define the whole gun culture in the US, but I digress) and considering the fact more black people seem to be victims of this stuff more often makes me consider racism as a possibility.
But things aren't simple as that. For all we know, it could be that cases involving black people seem to be more often reported (which would by definition be racially biased, i.e. racist).
Anyway, **** like this is unfair. People are more than skin color, which is no different from, say, having blue or brown eyes. (Scientifically speaking, there are no human races per se anyway.)
But life itself can be unfair. Unfortunately, it's the world we (currently) live in, but it's not that it can't be made better though. Do I expect it to be better, regardless of whatever efforts? Knowing human nature and our history as a species, I have no reasons to.
Fire/Fighting anyone?With this new pokemon being poison/ fire
I highly doubt now that Litten would evolve into that type
People did get their poison/fire they wanted
I think it has a couple of risks, namely the attack helicopter incident and the potential for other social goof ups, but overall I think the benefits of a much freer PR outlet greatly outweigh those risks. At the very least I personally am well past the point of being tempted to support a company by stilted marketing scripts, so having a social media that actually acts like entertaining human beings greatly heightens the chances of my leaving them in my Twitter feed and actually caring what they have to say.I wanna break way from the shooting topic since I know it's likely a bit heavy for people since I know most users here are quite a bit younger than me.
So here's a question that's been on my mind.
What do you guys think of the Sonic social media? Aside from it posting the dankest of memes, what do you think of this direction for Sonic's PR going forward, where it's fairly free to say whatever it wants within reason? Do you think it's good for the franchise, has it overstayed it's welcome, do you see it as being potentially risky in the future, etc?
So, we still don't have 35 combinations:So.

I was tossing around the idea that because the universe is not infinite, there can be no physical infinite, and, according to your analogy, no physical perfect.There's no such thing as a perfect being.
We all are inherently flawed, but also have inherent qualities.
Those flaws and qualities come in many different ways, some having more impact than others, but it's one truth I deem as universal.
In an analogy, I'd say perfection is like an infinite. Numbers forever approach that point, but never truly reach it, let alone surpass it.
What is perfect?I was tossing around the idea that because the universe is not infinite, there can be no physical infinite, and, according to your analogy, no physical perfect.
It's just unfortunate how rare it is for people to acknowledge that. Sure, we give lip service by saying we don't/can't achieve perfection, but our reactions to the world's wicked acts says otherwise.
Just recently, the finger-pointing over the Orlando shooting has been terrible.
"Without any flaw whatsoever."What is perfect?
For what context is this "perfect"
I'd argue perfect is the best something can be rather than just an abstract concept. If it's just an abstract concept than of course nothing can live up to that.
Shouldn't we measure perfect by the best that actually exist rather than something unquantifiable?
You're creating unrealistic expectations
Honestly, it was what Sonic needed after the Boom fiasco of 2014. Back then, the social media accounts were corporate accounts by their definition, very bland and had no personality. I remember the social media accounts changed around the time Fire and Ice was announced, everyone was more focused on the accounts then they were on the new Sonic game.I wanna break way from the shooting topic since I know it's likely a bit heavy for people since I know most users here are quite a bit younger than me.
So here's a question that's been on my mind.

It just seems to me in order to define perfection you need a quantifiable example"Without any flaw whatsoever."
Context in the general scheme of everything. Basically divine. While it's easy to just classify that as an abstract concept, in theory it exists due to everything having a finite value. So it could be seen as the combination of everything without corruption.
Unrealistic? For people, yes. I don't expect people to be perfect. We can't even support our entire reality without assuming at least one thing.
Perfect can mean everything something can be though. Frosty and I are thinking more on a metaphysical/theoretical scale though.
[Also, unrelated but hilarious:]
I remembered something. Gen VI made it so Toxic ALWAYS hits if a Poison type uses it, even during **** like Shadow Force. Sandalit will ALWAYS poison thw enemySalandit looks really cool, that **** eating grin is PERFECT for the ability
1) I immediately thought "If this isn't Hector I'm disowning this person."People that say perfection is impossible to achieve clearly have never played FE7 before
I just want a goddamn Electric/Dark
And a Normal/Ghost too, because I'm tired of instant coverage with Fighting and Ghost moves
Going by my analogy again, just because numbers never reach infinite, it doesn't mean they don't get closer to it. 1000 is still higher than 100.I was tossing around the idea that because the universe is not infinite, there can be no physical infinite, and, according to your analogy, no physical perfect.
It's just unfortunate how rare it is for people to acknowledge that. Sure, we give lip service by saying we don't/can't achieve perfection, but our reactions to the world's wicked acts says otherwise.

I highly doubt it just Pokemon with an abillity that prevent poisoning like ImmunityI remembered something. Gen VI made it so Toxic ALWAYS hits if a Poison type uses it, even during **** like Shadow Force. Sandalit will ALWAYS poison thw enemy

Perfection is like those limits in mathematics, or the ideal conditions you see in chemistry/physics (odd analogy, I know). You can only approximate them, never reach them exactly, so you shouldn't feel bad if you aren't "perfect". Of course, that doesn't mean you shouldn't put in effort.I was tossing around the idea that because the universe is not infinite, there can be no physical infinite, and, according to your analogy, no physical perfect.

I still don't know why they couldn't just be pure flying type. Was it balance to make up for the weaknesses of fighting types?Normal dual types other than Flying are so weird to me.
