OK, now I'm done. Promise.

Choose wisely.

I've had better luck than you.

How about The Flying Pressure for a Smogon Champions League team? The logo could feature a flying-type legendary with Pressure as its ability, like Lugia. Performing in the face of pressure is vital in the tournament scene, so it also fits thematically in that way.

I don't want to take this too seriously (admittedly my hackles go up when people slight literature, regardless of the context), so I'll end with this point. We all have our blind spots when it comes to perceiving greatness in different forms of art. Recognizing and admitting that we have those...

I'm glad that on a meme forum we've solved that books which have moved, delighted, and astonished readers for decades or even centuries are actually secretly bad, and not that we as teenagers and/or literary philistines who were forced to read these books against our will just might not have...

Actually, probably not. The big hurdle in ancient times was living past infancy; if you managed to do that, there was a solid chance you'd survive into what we would still call old age today. When applied to populations with high infant mortality, life expectancy can be a pretty misleading...

"She's not my First, but man, is she a Lady."

Then I'll explain why. I wanted to point out that criticism of the repressive aspects of the CCP's COVID response is entirely valid. I think it's an insult to the Chinese people it incarcerated to say or imply otherwise. On the other hand, I do think there is some merit in the essence of your...

Another early contender. Keep this up and you'll sweep the podium. I'm not going to waste effort debating a stream of logical fallacies, so I think we should end this exchange here.

Congrats, this is an early contender for straw man of the year.

That aggressive response has included disappearing activists and sentencing journalists to prison for reporting the COVID facts on the ground. I'd say that's both "repressive" and "authoritarian."

Sam was misapplying what I said about the broader political ramifications of the event to the feelings of non-politicians like us. I agree that it was a pretty terrifying day, and nowhere did my post deny that. But in the context of long-term foreign policy and the international balance of...

It's impressive how in just one sentence some posters can distort, oversimplify, and take out of context what others write, isn't it? :heart:

It would be a catastrophic failure if it had succeeded. It's doubtlessly a shameful event, but I think the revulsion it inspired and a recency bias are causing us to overstate its importance. As it stands, Trump will be out of office in less than two weeks, and the Biden administration will have...

What's your favorite place in Prague, and/or your favorite aspect of living there?
