Two of the specific Pokemon named were Octillery and Typhlosion, not the ones you'd expect. Typhlosion literally kidnapped a woman and raped her for years to have his children.

There are a lot of them, seemingly written over a period of time. All by the same woman too.

So its less that they discarded them for being bad ideas and more like the office horny goblin kept writing her own smut and kept it on company computers.

Not all of them. A lot of counties across the nation either appoint one or, in very small rural areas, just give it to the most fitting person.

But most do (in theory, the fact that very few ever lose re-election and the political power they wield means the election is mostly a farce), so the point was that he is still a politician and thereby anything attributed to his personality is suspect as is any statements he makes.

The only wrench in the story is the "fake" VIP/press passes he had on him.

Which, if they exist at all, do look quite suspicious in any form going to one of these events that armed.

Everything else though points elsewhere, so I want to still lean on the sheriff being a loser but that's not a piece of evidence you can discount entirely.

His statements on being an Oath Keeper are contradictory and basically nonsense. He got caught on their mailing list after a big hack and then gave multiple different reasons for why. But by his own words, he just read their website, never went to any meetings, and seemed to only like them for being "Pro-Cop."

Same with his anti-lockdown. He is part of a group saying that local sheriffs have authority over state and federal law and that its his job to prevent tyranny from it. While admirable on its face, it seems to be entirely self-serving to grant himself more power.

Cali Sheriffs are elected, so most of this seems to be a generic sheriff power tripping to make himself The Law but still being electable in Cali. And the development of this story really pushes me further into thinking he blew all this up for his own political clout.

Only the sheriff who caught him (an extremely woke BLM guy) is calling it assassination, while the Trump team themselves is saying it wasn't one and that a guy was just arrested nearby without issue for having guns in his car. Which considering its Cali doesn't say much, but would fit with the easy release on bail after if that's all they had him on.

Everyone combing his internet presence is showing its mountains of Boomer level very pro-Trump stuff and a bit of schizo nonsense that is still pro-Trump. Which doesn't add up with any of these actions in the slightest.

So either the Feds set up an actual long spanning backstory for one of their guys (and forgot to actually train him for the event itself), or this more than just "another one tried!" I'm already leaning towards it being a politics minded sheriff trying to either get famous or start a "conversation" about how awesome Cali's gun control laws are by preventing this.

That article feels like it was written by two different people. The entire thing is surprisingly reasonable and logical about how "accusing the president of a crime might not go over well after he already threatened to credibly sue you once" and "people act like we are already living under a dictator and quiver in fear." Even acknowledging how its a completely worthless movie that only has appeal to anti-Trump people to begin with, who won't care about something that doesn't paint him as Mega Hitler.

And then the final paragraph completely contradicts that and says he is Ultra Hitler already in power of his authoritarian regime scaring good people into cowardice. You can see the shift almost happen like a light switch where it goes from "reasonable anti-Trump perspective" to full blown TDS.

And the sheer fact that claiming "a guy named Joshua didn't exist and didn't do anything" is far less likely than him just existing and not being divine.

If you want to see it that way. Gamergate was a movement with a handful of presumptions necessary to even logically believe in it, like thinking there was something fishy with games journos like Kotaku. The same way you can't be an atheist if you believe in god, no matter how you dance around it that is a requirement for that singular purpose.

But from there yes you can have all sorts of nonsensical and contradictory parties within because of the lack of definable rules. You've achieved the literal only basic rule (the same way the only rule about being black is literally being fucking black), and any discount from there is self-serving.

Point being, the move isn't "they aren't atheists" because they are just the same as anyone. Its that they are shitty people who did it for garbage reasons. And unfortunately for atheists, those make up the majority in both number and power in society.

It's more the atheists your talking about, are right now chanting free Palestine, got a trans flag on their profile and pronouns in bio

Yeah, atheists have always been cringe Lefties obsessed with "Current Thing." Its why they felt comfortable enough to create Atheism+ in the first place.

Atheism doesn't have a rule book, it doesn't have a main governing body. Thereby there aren't any rules to say "you ain't one!" other than the singular "believes in god" type. So you can't say they aren't one anymore than you can say the "deeper thinkers" are one. Its all atheism, with all the baggage that brings.

They can only "not be" atheists is if atheism is a solidified grouping with specific rules instead of a loose collection of "no god/s" thoughts.

To say "they aren't atheists" is the equal of Biden saying blacks who don't vote for him aren't actually black, its to take a generalized existence and then apply conditions for you to be a part of it based on what people think should be conditional.

I get it, lots of guys here are atheists (and the downvotes show they are still as offendable as Reddit taught them to be) and don't like the stereotype because it doesn't apply to them. And that's fine. But to try and Rules Lawyer around it by denying it exists and how they don't count and "umm ackshually" it doesn't change that's what the majority of people do with it and why its damaged our society to such a level.

Also, those existential thoughts aren't unique to atheism. I've had to grapple with them just to reaffirm my own faith and actually deal with the possibility of being wrong. To treat them as part of "deeper atheism" itself instead of basic human fears, you are still ascribing to the same ol' atheism belief of "religious people are sheep who never think for themselves."

While there is a lot more going on, the people who pass laws raising wages have never actually worked minimum wage jobs so they have no idea how the system works in reality. They've never been in danger of having their job automated, or outsourced, or just downsized at all.

So to them its just a funny side effect, while they look at the increased revenue the company as a whole is making after slashing tens of thousands of jobs and consider it an overall improvement.

Atheists are always guys who work backwards.

They want to do drugs and have wild sex, so thereby anything that prevents that is bad, and because its bad it must be lies and opiates for the masses. And then they just keep working back to tear off little details and inconsistencies to prove it. Any evidence to the contrary doesn't fit within their schema, so its rejected wholesale.

Or, the other common alternative, their dad made them go to church and they hated that/him. So its bad and the cycle works back from there.

Of course I have no doubt I could with some effort, though I am completely rhythm deaf and basically useless with sounds. Just admitting that I can't on a whim.

But that's the point, I am just some random guy with no reason to actually know these things. Whereas Ubisoft is creating a product with the intent of evoking a time and place, and thereby should be doing that minimalist amount of effort.

I wouldn't be able to tell you the difference at a glance.

But I'm also not getting paid to create this or know such details, nor is the result of my action going to reach international ears.

Its pretty fucking simple of an idea, to do basic cursory research on things you intend to use for wide appeal audiences to make sure there isn't something funky with it.

Plenty of atheists still scream that he didn't exist at all, which is a solid note how little actual research they do despite claiming its all for science.

I can think of no one less deserving of money than Feather Indian Women in this country.

All the ones I've met are doing fine, other than a lot being fat, and are living thier best life with their white boyfriends and getting off on colonization roleplays. In fact, that's the only thing you can use to differentiate them from random Mexican women. The moment they leave their little Rez the world is their oyster.

While the Indian men I've met are all still broke alcoholics barely getting by and desperate for a reason to live. If they don't got casino connections their life is barely worth a damn. Which is why they resort to crimes like rape and trafficking of their own women on the rez until they end up with none left.

People have been biting their tongues for so long about so much that him being willing to actually insult them is basically a huge pressure relief valve on people's minds.

Him saying he'd put Hilary in jail was speaking for tens of millions of people and probably won him a huge chunk of votes on that alone. Because we had been wanting to say that for 20+ years and had to hold it back because of how rabid the Dems were promoting her.

I mean, he has been calling her low IQ in his own tweets multiple times in the last few weeks. That is the literal definition of retarded, before the Wokes took it away to protect the niggers.

I also like the implication that he lost his mind by insulting Detroit in Detroit. As if those people don't live there and know exactly why their city fell apart. And that they couldn't possibly care about anyone else but their own city and its precious feefees when he said it.

Things like that are why I can't take zombies seriously as a horror genre. It truly only works by lobotomizing people beyond any form of reasonability.

Like slashers also are filled with retarded people, but Jason or Michael Myers are still fucking scary and capable of killing you even if you aren't retarded, whereas zombies (after day 1 when people don't understand the threat) only seem to manage through plot armor.

NGL, the frogs make it look like they are openly masturbating instead of just implying or simulating it over their clothes. And that makes it far worse.

Its funny how they took Reboot Laura, who was already shaved off of most of her sexual characteristics to become an actual crying cliche for half of her own game and then made her even more manish and boring.

Also those images of Cuties are pornographic and I really don't like seeing them, whether they help your point or not.

It also doesn't help that my expertise is in hurricanes, which only sometimes involves tornadoes, which are two very different beasts with a whole separate list of prep and problems to fight. Especially as "tornado alley" really isn't a place that has to deal with flooding, which is the only reason why most tornado shelters can even be built to begin with.

Anything that can beat a tornado will probably kill you in a flood, so you can't really set a standard for both.

Also one of the reasons why most of the South is trailer parks is because trailers by definition and default have a baseline flood resistance by simply being 6~ feet off the ground and designed to be moved around a little. Only the richest can afford actual houses, and that's because you have to not only afford the house but the entire acre+ of land to place it on with a literal hill you will have to build it on top of.

The South isn't hurting for space or land, so there isn't a need to build giant apartment complexes that go up, so instead they just spread out in a lot for all the people stuck renting still. Until they can finally afford to put a nice trailer on a plot of land all their own.
