My sister and I have 9 things left to complete both of our shiny living dexes in Z-A (I'm going for all forms - regional, alternates & sexes, while she's just going for one mon per dex #), so probably more of that. 3 of my remaining guys are Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist forms, and since only the medium size spawns in Hyperspace I have to go back to doing those the old way by running through the Wild Zone over and over. Still, beats doing them in Sword.
I guess if anyone has any spare shiny Pumpkaboo (small or 2x jumbo) hit me up, I have 8 boxes of extra shinies I don't need.
Sure, I agree that it's definitely reasonable to make those assumptions and that they were almost certainly involved. I'm definitely not arguing with any of that, just the presentation here. I'm not saying there wasn't evidence, I was genuinely asking because the picture was (intentionally) stripped of any possible context so that we could all feel clever and smug without having to think about anything. Thank you for giving some more history, in any case.
All I was asking is if there was evidence or not. What we have here is a screenshot of a part of an article with no context which appears to contradict itself that people are circlejerking over. The fact that it happened doesn't prove that Maduro was right (or wrong) all along. I just take issue with this "meme" being posted as some gotcha crap when it's deliberately excluding any actual information.
Something being a reasonably safe bet isn't evidence, and neither is the CIA having done this before. Years of paranoid delusions (or less generously, lying) isn't suddenly justified if something finally happens. If there was actual evidence of them doing it sure, but this picture on its own isn't a gotcha, it's some "Alex Jones is right 95% of the time" kind of shit.
Just regarding the post title, John Birch died 14 years before the JBS was founded and had nothing to do with them. They considered him a martyr because he was killed by a Chinese Communist during an assignment so they used him as a symbol of anti-Communism. James Doolittle, a wartime pilot and possibly Birch's friend (maybe they just worked together, not sure exactly and I don't feel like looking into it further), said in his autobiography:
"[Birch] had no way of knowing that the John Birch Society, a highly vocal postwar anti-communist organization, would be named after him because its founders believed him to be the 'first casualty of World War III.' I feel sure he would not have approved."
As usual it's these far right assholes hiding behind something/someone more respectable to launder their bullshit.
Worst Spot (Attempt at a big moment in a match)Moose/Cardona/others fail to even try to catch Leon Slater from a 16' leap. (60%)
I'm still irrationally annoyed about this one. The whole "risk vs reward" thing is dead these days because everyone's a spot monkey and it sucks because I used to love that sort of thing when we didn't see it 10 times every show, maybe I'm just getting old. That should have won him the match, or, since he missed, ended it for him. Once he hit the ground that should have been it, do not move again. But no they have to stick to the plan instead of telling an actual in-ring story so he jumps straight back up, gets into the ring and then gets attacked. What's the point?
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said in a recent interview that his agency intended to probe anti-fascist and anti-ICE protesters and those that support them. “We are going to track the money. We are going to track these ringleaders.” He went on to claim, without evidence, that many of the protesters in Chicago were “professional agitators that are being brought in.”
Why bother, just listen to any right wing political commentator over the last 10 years, it's all George Soros right?
City populations are measured using satellite-mapped urban footprints for global consistency.
Is global consistency more important than accuracy? This says Perth has 1.1M people, which is a pretty huge difference from the actual 2.3M. Seems useless. I guess that means it's twice as spread out as whatever the standard is, but then make that map instead.
God damn you didn't say it was a sleeper hold! I don't know who Gunther is so I was picturing like a Sharpshooter or something, at least that would have been a real move. Going out on a rest hold is brutal.
But she’s honest about the limits, summing it up, “But that’s part of the job, and it’s what makes it fun and challenging and keeps every day new. And it’s, you know, it’s temporary. We’re one year down. We got three to go.”
Assuming there really are only 3 to go, she'll still be younger than I am now when she finishes, and she's clearly in a much better place financially. Who gives a fuck?
I don't have kids because I work 5 13-hour shifts a week and I don't think it'd be responsible to bring a child into that when I can't be there to help raise them (nevermind the health issues I'm risking from sleep deprivation already, I don't need a newborn on top of that). My partner also works full time, and even then we're barely making enough to get by. But hey, let's have a story about how one of the worst people in the world had to cancel her 3 holidays this year.
In the end, Leavitt’s reality reads like a cautionary tale for anyone thinking proximity to power comes cheap. Between the canceled trips, the social media taunts, the age-gap commentary, and the nonstop demands of defending Trump, she’s living the full cost of the job — as she put it, just “part of the job.”
So... she isn't even complaining? This writer is just sad that Leavitt's life must be tough because of all of these things she chose to do? Thank you for wasting everybody's time, Atlanta Black Star. I hope your engagement-bait is fulfilling.
Did they actually come back or did a bunch of comments not show up in your profile because the subs were private so they didn't get deleted, then they reappeared when the subs reopened? I thought some of mine were restored too, but it was a combination of that and the tool I used only hitting the most recent 1000.
