If you’re housed I’ll trade you my current situation so you can test that for yourself.

You can’t create what isn’t there. There’s a whole history of political abuse that festered. The CIA capitalized on that, they didn’t just waltz in February 2014 and say: “How about let’s have a revolution, eh guys?”

Pokémon Unite

I tried it early on but I felt it lacked the maturity and depth of playing a more serious and in-depth MOBA like League of Legends. I played a lot of Pokémon games throughout the years but it just paled compared to how fulfilling the long-form games and lore of Leagues went.

Turns out I’m a dad now and these shorter, punchier games are both perfect for me and somehow more fulfilling. On top of that they added complexity with Boost Medallions without breaking the game with them. It makes the setup more cerebral because you lose stats as well as gain.

So the thing about these linds of games is that you theoretically can master any Champion/Pokémon, but there are some that you just intuitively understand. Keep trying different characters until you find one you gel with in Standard/non-Ranked matches, then get a feel for how to improve your runes/items by playing Ranked and studying your shortcomings. It’s how I found out that I love to play walls and use items that optimize walls for damage. (Iceborn Gauntlet, Sunfire, Demonic Embrace type stuff for LoL and Rocky Helmet/Shell Bell/Drain Crown for Unite.)

Dude is legit entertaining while debunking this nonsense. You’ll learn a lot not just about the science, but about how they constructed their faulty arguments and where to push to make them fall apart like playdoh.

If nobody challenges them on the harmless stupidity it will fester into greater ignorance they feel entitled to perpetuate.

Good news is that of the original rangers, the only one who didn’t say something nice and was still living was David Yost. Walter Jones, Austin St. John, and Amy Jo Johnson all said something nice about him.

You’re moving the goalposts and have failed to acknowledge the other user’s original position and that it is correct. You do not appear interested in a rational resolution to a disagreement now that the other member in your discussion is correct.

I disagree. Pan is the breath of fresh air the series needed and it’s a real disappointment we don’t see more of her.

Oh, and Return to Oz.

That’s completely untrue. At this point in your life you have an established set of purchasing locations and a purchase history. You’re discussing disingenuously for either the sake of arguing or because you don’t understand how the world works, either of which suggest pursuing this further is a waste of time and energy.

You say that like the stores don’t buy that based on your meat-buying history.

They always prepare more than the allotted amount based on demand to meet unanticipated fluctuations. Your spent dollars on meat per month are calculated into their spreadsheets. No amount of pretend justification liberates you from the consequences of your actions. If you did not buy meat, there would be (your consumption*1.25) less meat in the store on average. You are not buying overflow meat. They are producing your meat plus overflow.

Just for you.

The purchase of an item is treated as the demand of an item. This is how an economy works. They don’t mean that you’re barging into places yelling about how you want meat. Your money flowing to them is enough to justify further slaughter to provide more meat.

Out of curiosity, are they delicious or are their rubs/seasonings/spices/sauces delicious?

A vegan friend of mine once asked me this question and while I can honestly reply that I can find them tasty with just the fat needed to cook it, plenty of people I know require at least a little (but sometimes copious amounts of) plant-based modification.

On the flip side, I only enjoy coffee with lots of cream and sugar. If I didn’t need the caffeine I might give it up completely.

Lime, actually. Lime pairs a little better with legumes or red meats in my opinion, and pairs equally as well with pork as lemon. Lemon is a winner when paired with chicken, however.

A hot, spicy, citrus-laden soup loaded down with potatoes, chayote, spinach, onions, cilantro, and a protein source of your choice. Flavor with stock. Broccoli and/or carrots added in late in the cooking to preserve their crunch.

The psychological effects of a hearty meal and the nutritional benefits are great. Make it in a big enough pot and you can keep coming back to it over 2 days, leaving you free from cooking and limiting additional dishes to mess with while sick.

Spend that time practicing self-care instead. The mental boost is considerable and lessens the awful feeling of being sick.

Also, make sure to take in sunlight, but also spend some time cozy in a dark setting. Falling into a hard habit can adversely affect your mood.

Don’t neglect grooming. A hot shower and a clean, head of hair/scalp is something people may take for granted, but I’ve had to go days without a shower sometimes and the feeling of a freshly washed head is revitalizing.
