@scheneighnay @IntroSpecktive That's by design though. The previous dexes were all in Japan, this one was America. So you'd have similar species but they were different due to being on a different continent.

@IntroSpecktive My issue with it is that most of the Unova dex is just clones of existing pokemon.
Hoenn's was almost all if not all new yet almost everything in it was an original idea.
English
Unova having its own exclusive dex was actually extremely refreshing and based

The most HATED thing about every Pokemon region:

@IntroSpecktive For the first time in the franchise we left Japan. It made sense, we got a brand new ecosystem with convergent species... back before that meant "similar" and not "the same silhouette with a new coat of paint lol wugtrio"

@GreenAttackDog I don't think any of them (sans Christians) should be permitted to. But regardless Islam is very specifically a religion about and focused on domination.
English
@panickedwagon Sure - but Jews, Hindus, Christians, Muslims etc all pray publicly in Trafalgar Square. They're not doing it as an act of domination are they? lol

Nick Timothy, who assisted Theresa May in introducing a cap on non-EU migration (a good thing!), is building a serious reputation for himself as an MP and is performing strongly in the online space. It is also notable that Kemi Badenoch has now publicly backed him. That is a significant intervention.
For the record, I have no time for blind anti-Muslim hatred and do not engage with it on my X account. At the same time, it is clear that deep-rooted pre-Islamic tendencies and differences in human capital play a BIG role in the sectarian tensions now visible in parts of the country. As a free speech absolutist, I believe Islamo-sceptics should be able to say what they think, and in many cases their criticisms are not without merit. This is a conversation that needs to be had openly, not shut down.
I hope Nick continues to speak his mind.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

@bumbadum14 I was an idiot and my first thought was looking at the criss on the result and thinking "oh no, the baby's Finnish."
English
@GreenAttackDog You do understand that Christianity is the state religion, yes? That's literally the ONLY religion that has a free pass for public displays. And I say that as an atheist.
English
@technopopulist He can say what he likes but occasionally praying in a public space is not remotely an "act of domination" is it? He's just made himself look a bit of a racist twat - that's all. 🙃
English
@SpoopyBoopys I like it, but it needs to have support in official and unofficial simulators. Annoyingly edopro's staff refuse to actually implement it and it's a pain to build decks with the point system as a result.
English
Genesys haters, I have a question- why?
Saw a bunch of people at my local saying that Genesys “isn’t a real format” and calling it “modern but worse”. Do people not realize that even if it is a smaller format, it has a metagame with interesting and interactive gameplay?
English
@interfaceux @mvaug10087 @Landeur Doctors have no bearing in this. You're deliberately pretending we're talking about women going to clinics. A woman who does it herself will now face no charges. That is the fact, which is why it's semantics to pretend that it's not been de facto legalised.
English
@panickedwagon @mvaug10087 @Landeur @panickedwagon 24-week limit unchanged. Two doctors still required. Doctors still face prosecution after 24 weeks. What passed stops women jailed for miscarriages under an 1861 law.
You moved from semantics to murder when the facts landed.
That is not debate. That is a retreat.
English
If a baby is born 1 month prematurely, and I suffocate it, that is murder.
However, a mother can now 'abort' her child at 8 months in the UK and face no legal consequences.
This was passed as law, despite only 1% of the public supporting it.
Is this democracy? Really?
English
@sergio75035352 @AdamPollock Stop slavishly worshipping "democracy". We are not a democracy. We should not ever strive to be a democracy. We are a constitutional monarchy and frankly have lost far more by straying from the rightful path.
English
@AdamPollock It doesn’t change the fact democracy stops when the lords blocks the commons irrespective of what convention says. It is another example of the absurdity of U.K. governance and needs to change
English
The arrogance of Kim Leadbeater is absolutely astonishing.
Saying that a thousand-year-old legislative chamber is finished because it rejected a terrible piece of legislation proposed by someone who has been a Member for Parliament for five years.
Embarrassingly narcissistic.
Dignity in Dying@dignityindying
The House of Lords has “signed its own death warrant.” Kim Leadbeater MP warns a minority of Peers are damaging the legitimacy of the House by blocking the public and MP-backed assisted dying Bill.
English
@AdamPollock The real reason it's finished is that they allowed multiple bills which have taken away the proper lords and turned it into a house of cronies.

@WomanDefiner Such a weird genre of video. "We did a random thing to fast food and it didn't get completely destroyed even though there is no principle anywhere that says it should be. Therefore it's poison!"

Yes, Britain has less solar potential than Spain, but this is mega important. We need more renewables and nuclear for our grid, and minimal gas.

@Albrochier @EspressoLucid An appropriate regent to guide George would be sufficient without changing the house, though if we take too long even he will be beyond saving and we'll have to.
English
@EspressoLucid Only one I can think of is change house.
Or we actually need to give the monarch more power so they have skin in the game.

@RAGING_R3ALITY @Pettan_Enjoyer @AlexTruths @Pirat_Nation No they don't. They don't do business in the united kingdom. They don't do business at all, for that matter.

@Pettan_Enjoyer @AlexTruths @Pirat_Nation But they still have to conform to UK law if they want to continue doing business. 4Chan have no authority to rationalise not obeying the law

Ofcom has fined 4chan again, £520,000 under the UK's Online Safety Act.

@Albrochier I have never seen anyone talk about crossbows until this point.

What I will say is, some retards on the right were way too vocal about this.
Posting sh*t like "Civil war is coming so make sure you buy a crossbow!"
Be f*cking cryptic ffs.

Crossbow sales will be banned and existing owners will have to apply for a licence to keep them, the home office announced. Existing crossbow owners will also need a licence, the Home Office said

@ConnerHenshall @Rothmus I've had to ask staff before about items that were conspicuously missing from the shelves. But then it took 2-3 months for them to come back. in Aldi I'm still waiting for a staple part of my diet to come back since it vanished from the freezers 2 months ago.
English
@Rothmus Some people really do act like this. They’ll even flat out tell me ‘Oh, you must no longer carry it! I didn’t see it on the shelves!’ And we’ll be like, ‘we just got truck on Monday’ and they’ll say, ‘Well why isn’t it out yet?’ When it’s literally Tuesday. Fuck those people.

@peterrhague @BenZeisloft See, I'd agree with you that it was ridiculous on the religion grounds, but not this. It is a human, by definition of its existence. People may be willing to extend it a few weeks but it is still a human at the zygote stage. It's a stage of development.
English
@BenZeisloft A zygote contains none of the properties that critically define humans

This is as ridiculous as the people pushing for elective abortions up to birth.
