I just checked three different rent vs buying calculators (Nerdwallet, Calculator.net, Fidelity), and each one says I'm better off financially renting. That matches with what I expected.

That's incredible having rent that cheap.
One of the benefits of living in a rural town with just over 10,000 people.

I can easily buy a home. But my rent is only $500/month and I don't have to worry about home maintenance and repairs. So I don't see a reason to own a home right now.

If there's a housing crash, I might consider buying a home as an investment. I'd be fine with renting my whole life though.

WW was a good movie.

WW84 was like The Room. Awful, but I got a good amount of enjoyment laughing at how bad it was.

Since the show pays the judgments and for flights to LA, public humiliation is really the only punishment some of these people are going to get. (Plenty of them deserve a lot worse than that)

I'm probably just going to pay my loan off so I don't have to think about it anymore. The only reason I hadn't done it before was because I wanted the free money if the loan was ever forgiven, but it looks like that's not going to happen.

But SOMEBODY put in the time, is the point. With genned Pokemon, nobody did. Obviously, in the former case, it's much more difficult to find somebody to do the time for you and just trade you the Pokemon than it is to just... Hack them.

If you want to pay somebody for their time to do it for you... Okay, that's a cost you're willing to take on. But that's still different than just hacking.
The person who receives the pokemon isn't paying a cost. (I guess some players could pay for pokemon, but I know some pros have fans who are willing to do it for free) It seems strange to me that you care about effort from someone who isn't actually competing, but agree to disagree.

I think that hurts their defense more than helps. All we are saying is that you should have a legal mon. If someone else puts in the work then that eliminates your whole "it takes too long to grind" defense
The argument would be that some players have an advantage because they can get competitive-ready mons for free, while other players have to raise them on their own because they don't have a fanbase willing to create mons for them. The argument that players should just have legal mons makes sense to me. The argument that players need to have mons that took effort to make doesn't.

Raising and breeding Pokemon yourself isn't apart of any of that. If this was a metric that was actually measured in the tournament, traded Pokemon would be banned alongside generated ones.

That's actually a big point. There are players who only use legally-raised pokemon traded to them by their fans. They don't put in the effort to actually create the pokemon, but no rational person would criticize them for having an unfair advantage.

Whole Cake didn't do anything to improve my view of Sanji as a character, but it did elevate Brook in my eyes. That spread staring down Big Mom is one of my favorites in the series.

Buffett has stated that the reason he doesn't donate his money now is because he's so good at using it to make more money. That means he'll be able to give away more money after his death.

Like rather than feeding 100 people today, that money could be invested and used to feed 200 people in the future.
