I don't see where this has anything to do with the creation of the universe. They're talking simply about how things continue to exist or not exist or appear to exist but don't. Mudkip, physicists did tests recently to determine whether or not we were in a simulation. According to them, we're...

Nope, it's usually 87.5% male, 12.5% female (1/8 female). It took me over 50 tries to get a female, so it was pretty much like getting a shiny.

Females are rare for everyone. I had to hunt for about three hours before I found a female at long last. I know they're not rare, but I simply could not encounter a male Ralts or a male Burmy. After hours. I don't know what the deal was. I still have to get them.

Who thinks like this? I just can't even. You know, going outside is creating a situation where you might get pooped on by a bird, so you should stay indoors or it's your fault for getting pooped on? The difference here is he took advantage of her to PUT her in that situation and she did nothing...

Yeah, I made some GTS trades recently for some pseudo-legendaries, and their natures were perfect (though no IVs). Coincidence or people are just being really nice about putting decent stuff up for trade.

Something cute so I can spend my last moments on Earth snuggling and happy.

I'm Wonder Trading my legendaries and pseudo-legendaries on Christmas.

They're just workers in a different category. The legal minimum wage for this category is much lower than for the typical part-time worker because it operates based on tips. That's just how it is. Probably after a lot of lobbying from restaurant owners associations. Keep in mind, a restaurant...

If you're going to talk about ultimate responsibility, why stop with the victim? If you want to say a woman gets raped because she wears a shirt skirt, it's also because she's attempting to maintain a social presence in a society that objectifies her body, because social irrelevance is damning...

Internships both give one valuable experience (on paper at the very least) and lead to well-paying jobs. There are no such rewards from a restaurant job aside from the monetary compensation, so that comparison actually works in favor of my argument. If you're not tipping waiters, bussers, and...

Um, do you realize that waiters, bussers, and runners make BELOW minimum wage? Waiters make about $2/hr. without tips. The system is designed for restaurants to exploit the workers. That's why you should always tip even if the service is bad. Send them a message that the service was bad with a...

Almost all of the United States uses a tipping system to compensate waiters, so if you're not tipping, they're not getting paid. I worked in a restaurant in a tipping role and think that the tipping system is stupid. People don't do well at their jobs to make a few more dollars or cents, they...

Well, think about it this way. In the most realistic and practical terms possible, we'd be talking about a court trial with a prosecution and defense (victim vs. perpetrator). Assuming the perpetrator is guilty, what's at stake is whether the perpetrator is punished for the crime or not punished...

The perpetrator deserves all of the blame for their individual actions. Societal pressures may turn people on to lifestyles that they otherwise wouldn't have, but an individual crime is the perpetrator's fault alone. Victims are not culpable in the slightest for becoming targets. Lacking...
