Congrats man, good luck! Curious what part of town you're in now!

It was sick!! I rolled my ankle and got some weird scratches all over my arm during Trash Talk but the show was so tight and energetic, v cathartic.

absolutely saddened, shocked, disgusted. a man with no political experience now leads the united states. a reality tv show host, a failure of a businessman, an anti-science buffoon, a bully with little taste, class, or civility, has successfully conned his way into the white house by exploiting the fears of a largely under-educated, angry voter base. honestly an embarrassment.

At long last, got enough Magikarp candy to get a Gyrados. :thumbup:

The porygon was in a public park, lots of trees and stuff. No idea how much environment plays a role in one spawning, above all I think I just got lucky.

Got enough candies to evolve a Slowbro, I'm stoked. Also got a Tangela from a 5km egg which I'd never seen before (rare around here I guess). Probably my rarest/coolest catch was finding a Porygon in the wild, that was a surprise.

Cool, I caught a Tauros. Only seen one once before and it ran. The one I got isn't even strong, but it's just a nice one to add to the collection.

Yeah people are blowing this way out of proportion and are being really entitled.... like, nobody is forcing you to keep playing, calm down. Niantic's actions have definitely been very puzzling to say the least tho.

i realized that i don't even really care about combat stats and IVs and all that stuff much at all like, generally if you're level 20+ you can take control of a gym by yourself anyway. it's not worth the extra effort to me worrying about types and movesets and getting a 10% combat difference at best by evolving the right pokemon, etc i just wanna catch em all. and on that note, i have 101 in the pokedex now

Got to level 22 today, most of the way to 23. My Pokedex is at 97 caught/98 seen. Excited to go to California next month so I can find some pokemon that are common there that are rare here haha.

Probably all the high fructose corn syrup

Damn idc what anyone says, Uncrustables are good

I'm level 20 rn. waiting til i have some more ready-to-evolve pokemon before mass-evolving with a lucky egg active. 50k xp needed between levels now though lol. @sporks, the grass/leaves animation means there's an increased, but not guaranteed chance of a pokemon being there yeah the 'nearby' tab is broken right now, kinda sucks.

Nice, cap hill is a great place to live while you're young. it can get a little crazy around there, but yeah it's definitely the place for all the young hip people (such as myself !) to be. also check out wallingford, which is near u-district, for a more subdued but still fun bar scene. i've been bar hopping there a lot recently. hmu if you ever want any more seattle recommendations or need a new drinking/pokemon go buddy!

yep

yeah i'm finding that as you level up and the CP of pokemon increases, they take more and more pokeballs to catch since they're much more prone to escaping. thus i'm running out of pokeballs for the first time. there are definitely some updates this game needs for it to have any real longevity to it. nonetheless it's still fun to me and finding rare pokemon is still a rush

I'm level 16. I've been really hooked on it the past few days. I'll probably get burned out on it pretty soon, but yeah, it's dope.

yer gonna have to do a lil censor evasion for me to be able to answer this one

What makes you think that? oh please. assuming you're a straight white male, can you tell me earnestly that insults directed towards you being a straight white male are any more than an annoyance in your daily life? because i'm a straight white male and never once in my life have i felt attacked or discriminated against for being so, let alone via anti-SWM slur. and i feel comfortable speaking for the majority of this demographic, given the complete lack of ever hearing fellow white dudes talking about being genuinely upset over being called a 'cracker' or something. lmao @ obfuscator equating a historically and currently discriminated and oppressed group to conservative/libertarians, whose members represent probably the least discriminated-against group in U.S. history at least. :roll:

So are only gay people allowed to use that word? In fact yes, for all intents and purposes I can't think of a circumstance where a straight person saying that would really be okay outside of contexts like being in a close group of gay friends who 'allow' you say it. But that's not similar to the context originally being referred to.

The very obvious and important difference being that the vast majority of the people upvoting and posting that word in that context are unlikely to be gay.

Yeah that shithole of a subreddit literally has multiple posts on its front page right now referring to gay people as f*ggots, I don't know if Sporks is blind or thinks that bigotry is exclusively mass murder ... ?

i'd never seen anything of his before (comedy and music pairings are rarely my thing), but happened to watch that this afternoon. really impressive stuff, he's an incredibly talented performer. everything was so intricate and well-thought-out. i got more existential thought out of that than i did big laughs, but all in all it was an excellent hour that left me with a lot.

It's not a big deal. Just clean up your toenail clippings.

I'm on a quarter system. Overall I like it and I think I'd prefer it over semesters, for basically how Horatio described. But yeah midterms happen like all the [bleep]ing time so I think it's more stressful on the day to day.
