Binaries are non-inclusive. Sometimes, you just feel like a parent today, alright!?

I see a Pidgey I recognize it as a Pidgey. I'm not going to mistake it for some other real or fantasy bird. There really is something timeless and iconic about the old school pokemon designs, even if they're simple in execution.

Also, I'm not sure what you think a bat looks like, but they tend to not be teal and have no eyes and long tendrils for legs.

What did Gen 4 and 5 do to get roped into this? I like Drifloon and Trubbish. There's room for blob monsters like Muk and Garbodor to coexist together. At least none of their designs have resorted to having a face straight out of Adventure Time.

I just wanted to catch monsters and go on adventures with them....

It really is fascinating how Christianity just brings out the worst in some people. It just existing is enough to trigger some kind of reflex, no matter the actual content. I'm not going to discount the abuses people have done wearing the church as a shield. (Virtue Signalers go all the way back to Annanias and Sapphira after all.) But the sheer vitriol that manifests when Christ enters the picture is downright ridiculous.

Why won't you accept pretty Irish April, you racist?

The sheer amount of downvotes for such an innocuous, common sense concept is rather depressing.

They did it in that ugly looking Rise of the TMNT show first.

Once you go black, etc, etc.

If this is true, you'll have no trouble providing some links covering some of this crap, right?

Trust, but verify.

Disney's stock value is currently sitting lower than it was during the pandemic. I'm genuinely considering grabbing some to pop off when they inevitably get bought out or otherwise restored.

I'm old enough to remember the movie existed, but not old enough to remember any controversy surrounding it. Besides the obvious, at least.

My pastor dad theorizes that God would have been completely cool with the Israelites sparing their enemies if it had been done for the right reasons, eg, because they're humans too. But the only reason they ever spared the peoples God told them to wipe out was because they wanted slaves and wives, and the end results of them integrating barbarians consistently came back to bite them culturally and spiritually.

Abuse is another one of those words that's been used improperly to the point that it no longer holds the weight or meaning it once did.

It's almost like its been... Hm.... I know there's a word for it, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

It's genuinely sad. A whole subculture of Don Quixotes tilting at white windmills. The scary part is how many people have a vested interest in feeding these delusions.

"The force is an energy field that binds all living things. Ones who are naturally in tune with the force naturally harbor many of these microscopic creatures who thrive on the connection."

You could even have a chicken or the egg sort of deal. Are Midichlorians the source of force sensitivity, or are they merely drawn to it? Or are they spawned from the Force itself? Having mysteries in-universe that people in and out of story can debate over is good storytelling in of itself.

Midichlorians work perfectly well as a symptom of Force Sensitivity. People way overreacted.
