exactly, there’s a real long term failure to continue the political consciousness raising of trade unionists and members and we see the results in this festering and malignant, myopic selfishness

This one is self-victimized. You can see it in that last sentence implying that at some point “the works” controlled what was in media and that this has changed. Common sentiment among a certain class of u.s. reactionary.

haha i would be so owned if xi nationalized medical care in china, that would be so horrible haha

mfw trade unionist consciousness is not sufficient

u.s. amerikkkans are often so limited in their understanding of geography that even national geographic reference points are lost on them. like trying to explain the plot of blade runner to a person that’s only seen wall-e? no, it’s like trying to explain the plot of symbiopsychotaxiplasm to a person that’s only seen the trailer for wall-e.

this guy seems like a series of red flags. i got burned out of academia working for a really useless guy who had no handle on how to manage his group or teach us how to do the work etc. he liked to make “toy models” of problems his students were having instead of learning to contribute, which always had the feel of what vibe coding now provides. if you’re not anathema to it, it would probably wise to find a more emotionally stable advisor.

libertarians when they are asked to contend with amerikkkan civilization being predicated on a pretty large rejection of the non-aggression principle.

absolutely, gen 5 are absolutely the pinnacle of the old style in a lot of ways. if you want to see entirely new mons, try black or white 1, and if you want to see some recognizable ones too, go with black or white 2. i start way more games of pokemon than i finish for what its worth.

how much intuition do you expect to have retained? specifically, do you expect to have to learn type match ups and how stats work from roughly scratch?

supposing you don’t have a strong feeling for which moves use the attack stat and which use the special attack stat, i would recommend Platinum as a good putting your feet back in. Emerald is also very beloved for good reasons.

to get aquainted with the modern series without straying to much from the OG game formula

in response to this, i offer a rough breakdown of the changing formulas across generations.

gens 1 - 5 have roughly the same feel: overhead view (with some partial exceptions in gen 5 games), sprite-based battles and animations, gimmicks are limited to new battle types.

gen 6&7: the 3ds era games, these switched to using 3d models for all the pokemon and the world, still a roughly bird’s eye view of the world but without the strict movement grid to make use of the 3ds joysticks, and the introduction of battle gimmicks. gen 6 has mega evolutions which are an extra accessible evolution during a battle, somewhat divisive, but the most universally beloved gimmic. gen 7 still sort of had those but added in z-moves which were a once-a-battle overpowered attack.

gen 8&9: the switch era mainline games. behold, a conventional 3d camera view*. these started to experiment with less conventional battles. both of these generations completely excise mega evolutions and z-moves. gen 8 has “dynamaxing” which is a lot like mega evolutions but not limited to specific pokemon with a special hold item. gen 9 swapped the dynamaxxing during a battle for “terastallization” during a battle, which is swapping a pokemon’s types for a different one, terms and conditions not withstanding. pokemon are on the overworld in both games. gen 9 has actual 3d movement in a meaningful way, gen 8 does not.

* well in the gen 8 games, there are routes like conventional games that have a fixed camera and there’s a large open space called the wild area that has a conventional, 3rd person, player controllable camera. i personally found the wild area to be a very lazy and off-putting design.

my comrades should note that the Japanese Communist Party has been a center-left social democratic party for many decades now. these are all very reasonable policy proposals, but they’re no ML vanguardist movement that is focused heavily on broadband political education.

my favorite would-be sirhan sirhan but for ukraine

i mean totally anonymous to the organization, not outwardly anonymous to the public/authorities/all partisans.

my personal favorite is the bash reference manual.

silly mustache Austrian

that’s a high reading

some people deserve the slander regardless of the reality. jk rowling is one of those people. i don’t care if this is real. i’m spreading it regardless.

liberalism being unable to contend with neocolonialism moment. genuinely embarrassing that this person is ordained as a “serious academic” by an institution.

you can’t be an anonymous vanguardist last time i checked. and if this is just comments, it should be accessible to normies and others. is your concern that a communist org shouldn’t have digital records of people who have ever talked to them? if the nazi administration is at the point of interrogating and arresting people who asked PSL a question in this manner, we have more pressing issues than this.

nazism, now with idpol. it’s the newest tech fresh from israel, and it’s all the rage with zionists and groypers alike.
