Giant Earthquake hits Japan
No it's not true. That's just as much bs as all this planet Nibiru etc. stuff. Someone on youtube saying it's a fact doesn't make it one. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012.html On-topic: I hope the problems in those nuclear power plants don't escalate too much. Focus should be on trying to rescue tsunami survivors now while they might still be alive. A large scale nuclear accident (though unlikely) would not help the rescue operations at all. They still need to keep the nuclear plant from having a complete failure though. If it does fail catastrophically, we'll have another Chernobyl, and that's not something we want as it'll have consequences that are more far-reaching than we planned...

Pokemon Lab No, Pokemon Online. No one in 5th gen uses it as far as I know, instead opting for PO.

What do you write your programs in?
Ah. Fair enough.

What item were you running, a Focus Sash or a Lum Berry? If you weren't running Lum, you'd still lose to Smeargle, who has no issues getting off a Spore/entry hazards.

What do you write your programs in?
Notably, C++ is apparently really freaking hard to learn. Once you do learn it though, other languages almost become trivial by comparison. Java is also a good starter language if nothing else. I personally started with C++. And for the sake of answering a minor question, would I be right in assuming that C++ is basically C with more functions?

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
It's not bad, but over-doing it can be worse arguably. As for the dude nearing the end of HS, I'd wait until the end of the semester. Either way, don't cop out.

We'll talk about it once it becomes legal to use, as V-generate technically doesn't exist yet. Okay, how the hell do you kill Gliscor effectively? Especially the jerkass Poison Heal variants? I usually rely on Gyarados to kill it, but that works only every now and then.

Bad news dude, we're getting battered by waves right now. It's ridiculous.

Seems like server #2 is not online yet even though the IP was posted.

Tail Glow meant it could 2HKO Ferrothorn easily, or OHKO with Hidden Power Fire in rain. Ferrothorn could only manage a 2HKO or worse with Power Whip in the meanwhile.

Yeah, I can't do anything this week, too much work-related stuff.

It'd be nice if I could get back on server 1, but whitelist >_> Applied for server 2 in the meanwhile.

What are you listening to right now!?

cool sites when you're bored!!
-.- I made that face too. Gotta second Wikipedia, it's my tvtropes. [Edit] No, tvtropes is my tvtropes... Wikipedia is my second tvtropes. I'm thirding it. Half the music there is terrible. Even if it's to your taste. While we're on this tangent, if you really want to out-smart a hipster, cite bands like The Protomen, Duane and Brand0, and MC Chris. All three have the distinction of being actually good in their own right.

It seems to fluctuate between both tiers from time to time. He's not bad, but he really can't threaten anything back easily.

RCT- Design Competition
Mind = Blown. Does it actually work though? Looks like the start would be really slow. The new rules sound much more fun to try. It in fact does work. There is a minor issue where the first coaster must make a loop to get onto the second track, but after that, they duel each other.

Real life pictures - 4
A bunch of us were running around with some animated signatures that exceeded the size limit. It was some flight of the conchords thing. So the admins decided to be funny about it and change it around. I'll run with it though because it's hilarious.

Getting "Good Grades"
I invite you to take some of the classes I took in high school - maybe AP Computer Science AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, or English Composition. Or you can take any of the classes I'm taking for my degree, like Linear Circuit Analysis, or Microelectronic Circuit Analysis, or Digital System Design. I guarantee that if you believe any of that is listening to the teacher and repeating like a parrot, you'll fail out shortly after your first exam. Minor nitpick, but English Composition isn't that difficult, but I digress. But yeah, Ichimaru, that might apply, for what, up to middle-early high school? Try simple courses like Calculus with Analytical Geometry. Try parroting that, you'll fail before your first exam.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Might be taking it just a tad too far.... Maybe, but when you have the KKK denouncing their actions, you know something is just wrong. Is there any redeeming qualities about them?
