dane cook is my favorite comedy.

On the 14th the government has to vote on the debt ceiling or we'll hit the ceiling and have to pay the bills.

This'll be exciting.

The United States has had 17 "government shutdowns" in the past 45 years. Does anyone here remember or know of any of them? Probably not, because it's just political theatre. 

Except most people still have to go to work. 

I did notice that the gas station on the corner went down in 10 cents since Monday. Don't know if that's directly affected by the government shutdown, but I do know it's under $3.00 and extremely rare.

The name of the thread is "how you became known". Not "how you're not known". 

Because reading the works of a guy who died 300 years ago and discussing it on the internet as if you have some holier-than-thou world view is TOALLY useful.

Or maybe we don't care about boring things.

When I mean "this thread is literally going nowhere" is because I'm not really reading any philosophy. I'm reading an argument and some lyrics from famous rappers.

Mosquitoes, houseflies, deerflies, horseflies = fucking dead on sight.
 
Anything else I'll tend to capture and let outside. Spiders I'll even sometimes just leave them be if they're not in the way or making a big obnoxious web or anything.

HIMYM , TBBT and Two and a half men :)

I like re-watching the fox and the hound. That shit is hilarious.

I see a ton of people making a big deal about it, but that's just because their foodstamps are getting delayed.
 
I earn my own living as a cook, and it pays well, so it doesn't bother me much.
 
As a Libertarian, I'm all about minimal government involvement in all things, so as soon as I hear the words "government shutdown" I get excited.
 
I mean, independence IS SUPPOSED TO BE one of the ideals America was built on, so why is everyone getting their panties in a bunch over the government shutting down? I hope it's a permanent thing, but that's probably just wishful thinking.

-I'll give you that Pidgey's a silly option to fly on, but logically none of the early-game birds (Pidgeot, Swellow, Staraptor, Unfezant) can be flown on unless the player character is an infant. They're capable of being flown on out of necessity.
 
-Wailord is big and light for its size, but so is a balloon. Wailord may simply have a lot of empty space inside of it.
 
-Fire/Flying is actually logical for Charizard - it may look like a dragon but it's unmistakeably fire and can also fly. Both dragon and flying work, and they chose flying.
 
-Gastly is essentially formless - it lacks any sort of bone structure, therefore it isn't far fetched that it can create a fist shape from its gaseous body.
 
-Even if not popular, little cup is still a tier. Banning individual moves when they fully function is no different from banning Skarmory and Blissey from official tournaments - it would please some people but most others would find it stupid.
 
Yes, Pokemon logic can be dumb at times. Pokemon that learn moves learn them for a reason though. It turns out that I was wrong about Spoink being armless, but those are tiny arms - too tiny to punch with. Mareep can't possibly punch at all. Lotad is even dumber to imagine trying to punch something. Nidoran using superpower? It's a tiny rabbit. Just no. I could continue listing examples, but...
 
Yes, we should have access to those moves. However, this is absolutely not the way to go about it. To add these moves to unevolved Pokemon defies all logic. Would it not be a much better solution to just add the tutors themselves? No movepools utterly destroyed, Pokemon using moves that are impossible with their body types, etc. Pretty sure it's been suggested before though.
 
Overall, the main problem with the suggestion is simply that it's impossible even for Pokemon logic.

^ Need I elaborate even more on how ridiculous some of these moves would be?

Well I do not know if others face this, but I do.
Whenever I try to whisper someone, and it says "<name> could not be found", I'm in a doubt- Is the name I typed wrong? Is the person offline? Is there no such account?
I would suggest the developers to be specific-
1) If the person Im whispering doesn't exist, or I've typed out the wrong username in /w, then the announcement made to me should be "<name> does not exist"
2) If the typed name is correct and a character of that username exists, but is offline, then the announcement made to me should be - "<name> is offline right now."

That is all I had to suggest, because it leads me a misconception that the person I'm whispering to is offline, and I realise later the spelling mistake in the name.

I don't see a Spoink or Mareep using fire punch when they have no arms. There's a reason this isn't a thing in the handhelds; many of these moves just simply don't make sense to be on the pre-evolutions. The ones that do make sense are on the pre-evolutions such as thunderpunch on Charmander since it has a body that can perform it, but adding impossible moves is not only completely illogical but also messes up little cup.
