Depends on how much prep work you need to do. Need to write a dissertation? No. Need to summarize a dissertation? Sure.

Can they give Gengar levitate back since Megas are gone

Actually he just got banned from BDSP OU >_>

The best competitive experience since Gen 4 has been BDSP >_>
Megas are cool (some "ruin" certain pokes). Z-moves have some cool applications. Dynamax kinda sucks for PvP.

I feel like one or the other would've been caught up when the other gets usermap axed.

I pretty much ignore every no_u account on the regular. I've never seen a single post from that user I've wanted to read. Vegy makes real posts outside his horny topics.

Share holders (many of which are Starbucks employees, since there's yearly stock gifts) actually voted down a CEO pay raise. They just said, "nah" and did it anyways.

Basically, it means having a desire to improve society but recognizing that the default position of "just increase taxes and throw money at the problem" is rarely the actual solution and addressing inefficiencies in the current system can be just as, if not more effective then the alternatives

That's rarely the solution proposed to any problem, but often actually works when it's used well. Compare New Jersey's recent water problems to Michigan or Florida's. NJ saw the problem, made a plan, and gave an adequate budget until the problem was fixed.

Helps a lot when you don't fill every position you can with friends and family.

Welp, back on the ignore list you go.

Here's another one. I always forget the intuition behind word problems. I know they're just fancier ways of writing out expressions.

A baby's t-shirt requires 8/9 yards of fabric. How many t-shirts can be made from 104 yards?

To grow intuition you need understanding.
Break it into smaller easier problems to grow understanding.

If a t-shirt takes 1 yard of fabric, how many t-shirts can be made with 10 yards?
10, that's easy.
If a t-shirt takes 1/2 yards of fabric (.5 or one-half), how many can be made with 10 yards?
20. Either count them out: 1/2, 1, 1 and 1/2, 2, 2 and 1/2... or divide 10 by 1/2, or 10 by .5. Do you understand dividing by fractions (it's the same thing you just did).
Then take it to the next level, 8/9 yards per t-shirt with 104 yards.

Another approach is to look at the units.
You have (8/9) yards/shirt. You can see that as 8 yards per 9 shirts or (some number) yards per shirt. You also have 104 yards. You want the units to become shirts.
8 Yards __104 yards
--------- ---------
9 Shirt _______1
You can cancel units just like canceling numbers. So divide yards by yards/shirt.
104 yards _9 shirts
--------- --------
1 _________8 yards
The yards cancel and your left with 1049 shirts divided by 8. (Underscores for spacing. )

I worked at SBUX, fuck them, but all 7 employees made several immediately fireable offenses including breaking safe protocols. Any SBUX employee would have been fired for the same thing. When you're forming a union, you have to be more careful about following the rules, not less.

This i have to hear. Elaborate please.

ACDC is the epitome of Dadrock. Outdated music with pop catchy beats and shit lyrics. They had a boy band aesthetic, between the glam and school uniforms, and played to the biggest audience they could find. People often question if the Beatles would be relevant if they started today, but they pushed the envelope enough that they would still be somewhat interesting, ACDC was white fucking bread. If Babymetal is cringe then ACDC is a full kick to the balls.

ACDC does worse for "rock and roll" than any other band does for their respective genre, and they're far more relevant than Babymetal.

Maybe it's because you constantly have bad takes?

Anyway, Pokemon came up with a whole winning formula that really doesn't need much changing. Pick starter, rival fight, explore, gym, explore, gym, ..., E4... Compare that to other RPGs. It gets you attached to your monsters, controls the pace of difficulty while giving you plenty to explore, establishes and gets you attached to the world. It's great for new RPG players, people who literally can't read, and still entertains mature players. I don't think it's just capturing monsters, but the whole formula (and originally great world building) that grabs people's interest.

By Kamen Rider rules, laytest gen is strongest. SwSh if BDBP and Arceus don't count. I legit think SwSh is strongest, too, Zacian is super OP.
Arceus Legends would win in a fist fight against all of them combined.

The vaccine makes it less likely to get the virus, less likely to spread it, and less limely to doe from it. Anyone implying the vaccinated are just as transmisable as thr unvaccinated is spreading misinfo.

But, yeah, keep virus cheering.

Pizza Hut is loved by people who don't know pizza.

Even in modern humans, the fact that men are "stronger" than women is 90% social construct. women are literally scared away from working out too much and "getting too big." sure testosterone or whatever, but if you ever go to the gym you know there is nothing stopping girls from getting ripped except societal standards.

Don't have time for research, but something like 90% of males are stronger than 90% of females. Even without working out, most men are stronger than even moderately fit women.

I used a buzzwole with toxic in a casual tournament. when toxic landed, i messaged "have some TOXIC MASCULINITY LMAO"

guess that was misandrist of me

Toxic masculinity was a term coined by a Men's group about comptetive posturing of immature males.
From wiki:

the poet Robert Bly, who argued that "male energy" had been diluted through modern social institutions such as the feminist movement, industrialization, and separation of fathers from family life through working outside the home. Bly urged men to recover a pre-industrial conception of masculinity through spiritual camaraderie with other men in male-only gatherings.
Mythopoetic men thus speak of the need to recover "deep masculinity," to distinguish what they regard as genuine or mature masculinity from the problematic toxic masculinity of immature males. [...]
Because most men no longer perform masculine rituals, mythopoets assert that men have mutated into destructive, hypermasculine chauvinists, or, in the opposite direction, have become too feminized.

;)

Even recent unopened MTG card boxes hold their value.

How many people voting no are single?

People are only down for 2 days because they're vaccinated. Unvaccinated cases put you out for 1-2 weeks, if they're mild. Numbers like .1% or even 1% mortality sound ok, but that means 1 in 1000 people aged 20-45, 1 in 50 people aged 46-54 (peak earning years), and up to 1 in 4 people on the older end will die. That's a massive amount that is already effecting our economy with covid preventions and vaccines in place.
Covid is not the sniffles.

Hot take (or maybe not)...but if it was a standalone movie, it'd probably the best Star Wars film we got in this past decade.

That's what I keep saying. I just rewatched the whole (main) series and The Clone Wars is by far the worst, with Phantom Menace short behind.
If you want to say the new trilogy has the worst story, fine. But saying TLJ is the worst movie, you're just wrong. The prequels had a story that surprisingly held up, but theyre mired in so much childish shit the movies don't work as movies. IMO, if your worried about the story of a children's space fantasy just read a book.

Drunk Kaido seems like filler. Basically just existed for the last few pages to introduce a new threat.

This is mostly correct. The ' comes from coordinates divided into seconds as a duration of time. But I think it should be
Hours: minutes' seconds'' centiseconds''' <one ten thousandth>

Any TV news is commercial baiting boomer bullshit. If you get the news from your TV you are uninformed.

The story and writing are a small step up from FF4, too. FF4 takes itself weirdly seriously, but it's really incredibly cliche with little impact. FF5 Is the opposite and just takes itself very lightly with a few strong story moments (Galuf, Gilgamesh, Lenna). Adding in the job system, If much rather have a fun ride through FF5 than trudge through FF4's rotating cast of cliches.

None of those? First thoughts were Cowboy Bebop and Big O. Basically America's intro to anime (besides broadcast reinterpretations of Sailor Moon and DBZ). Hard to tell if anime like Saint Seiya are more popular in Latin America than Japan.

I think Luffy would be up there as well, since One Piece has broken all sorts of sales records when it comes to manga.

I think you could pick from the following:
Astro Boy
Doraemon
Sazae-san
Goku
Sailor Moon
Luffy

Get rid of Luffy or Goku for a Ghibli character (Totoro) and we're done here. Since Goku came first, Luffy gets to be Japanese Bill Clinton...
