Personally if I receive a call from someone I know nowadays, I assume it's important. So it would be kinda weird to get a call from someone who just wanted to chat.

that's the sense i get, kinda sucks right


I'll join a group call if I'm playing with friends on an online game. If you want to chat with someone I think it's best to figure out what time works with them and agree to it. Since people can be pretty busy and don't really have time to sit down for a phone chat for leisure.

And Rhydon is completely immune to electric moves.

I would've thought someone would've already corrected this. Mega Gyarados is only 2x weak to electricity due to losing its flying in place of dark


It's not like it mega'd immediately. It honestly should of just fainted after the first electric attack from pikachu due to type matchup. But you know plot armor demands the battle be more interesting so water attack blocks it.

Whats to stop them trying to get a new proposal through next week? Isn't that what they've been doing since the first failed bill?

After the end of the month (which is Saturday), the reconciliation period ends and they won't be able to pass it with a simple majority.

Lmao. Maybe this will give them some incentive to try and actually come up with something better than just going hard as fuck trying to simply get rid of it with no plan going forward


I don't have any expectations that republicans in congress have any desire to work together to make something good for the people of this country.

To be fair, there are probably some Republicans who are willing to make some minor, bi-partisan tweaks. Collins, Murkowski, McCain, and Alexander chief among them. The problem is that any bill that can get significant Democratic support is unlikely to have the support of the majority of Republican senators, let alone a majority of House Republicans. Neither Majority Leader McConnell nor House Speaker Ryan is likely to defy their caucus for this.
This is why Schumer and Pelosi schmoozing Trump with the prospect of a bi-partisan bill is brilliant: it will help direct Trump's anger towards McConnell and Ryan, thereby making it even less likely they'll ever be able to get something done.


I'm not trying to sound like there aren't reasonable republicans in congress. It's just the majority right now refuse to compromise with the other party which is why nothing will get done on regards of healthcare. And unfortunately the couple of good ones don't outweigh the bad ones.

If they are all 100% equally qualified I would probably go with this one as well


Take ages into consideration too. He is 16. He isn't even considered an adult in many places yet and he made judgment to marry at his age. Would he be a wise choice for a job with such hasty judgment?

The variables are there with ages too guys. If you still say him, that's good. But him being 16 and that quick to jump the gun could be bad too.


Not to mention that he weighs over 400 pounds at 16. That probably means a medical issue.

I did read this one wrong tho. I thought it was saying he is currently a heroin/meth addict. If he's recovering from addiction and putting an effort into staying clean, he's also a good candidate.

I would be worried about him falling off the wagon though, especially recovering from both heroine and meth.

The 2 hour walker is good as long as she makes it to work on time every day though.


Well it would be easier to tell from an in person interview how serious they are about kicking an addiction. Having a stable job can help someone from turning to drugs and I wouldn't mind helping someone who was serious about it.

I think the reason why TC doesn't seem to have ever met a friendly liberals is because he's not very friendly towards them and doesn't realize it. People tend to not act friendly against people acting hostile towards them.

My whole family is liberal, 90% of the people I've been friends with my whole life. A conservative doesn't cut off their lifelong friends for voting for hillary, however liberals I've met will disown their children for voting for Trump. Sorry, but that's nonsense what you've just said.


That's your family. I'm talking about people outside your family. You seem to have this idea on how all liberals are based on the extremist you read about in news articles. Which you can find extremist conservatives doing shitty things as well.

This is causing you to view all liberals as unfriendly which is shaping your behavior around them. Which as I said, acting hostile towards someone will only bring hostility. Once you become more accepting of liberals, maybe you'll meet some friendly ones.

Idk why you think i'm bitter or angsty. I'm not the one who spends their time online typing up complaints about microtransactions on gamefaqs that publishers likely won't see.

Besides, it's not like I'm against condemning bad uses of microtransactions. I just don't hate the concept to the point where the only thing I can do is complain about it on gamefaqs.

Wrong. Blocking people with green cards/visas from traveling was not the stated intention of the ban, and the proponents of the ban said as much, which is why they fixed it.

The state courts shot down the ban entirely, on the basis it would hurt their tourism or whatever nonsense excuse they came up with. Nothing do do with visas.


Whether or not it was a stated intent, Trump's travel ban did cause that issue. The Supreme Court reinstated the travel ban and limited what immigrants it could affect to prevent the green card/visa issue.

So they made a fuck up and the court system fixed it. I don't get what your issue is.

Obama's ban on refugees in 2011 was functionally similar to Trump's travel ban.

Hows that


Trump travel's ban prevented people with green cards and visas from traveling back into the US. While Obama's only blocked refugee requests.

It's one thing to stop taking in requests for refugees due to a security flaw. It's another to block people already allowed to be here from coming back.

There's no irony in not paying for a service he isn't likely to need, nor is there any irony in asking people to voluntarily donate funds when that need happened anyway.


Health insurance is essentially a pool where a bunch of people pay into it and when you need to take from the pool you are essentially using yours and other people's money to pay for healthcare.

So while he was complaining about not needing healthcare insurance, he still wants other people to help pay for his healthcare just like they would if he had healthcare insurance.

Whether or not you believe in the afterlife, should not change how you feel towards having a loved one dying. And I think it's rather silly to have any expectations that you will ever see them again. I get that seeing a loved one die is painful, but at some point you need to accept it and continue living your life.

It's always been a special attack move and the nuzleaf line has better physical attack. However, the difference is 10 (100 base attack, 90 base sp atk). Since they're weak to fighting types it might be an option if you're okay with it using explosion after taking a super effective hit


Aerial Ace isn't a bad option for anti-fighting.


Yes it is.

Fighting types tend to have higher defense than special defense.


Marginally. Difference is like 10 on average for pokemon in gen 3. Won't make a big difference because you won't face any lvl 100 pokemon in game.


TC said it's a modest one though, so it'll be negatively impacted using physical moves


Yeah. Although it'll likely still hit Breloom harder than extrasensory even at a negative nature, but probably not worth it to counter one pokemon.
