Antibiotic resistance is the result of unnecessary use of antibiotics so it is not necessarily true to state this process starts in hospitals, it can happen any time a microbe comes in contact with an anti-microbial agent.

I think the main point is it helps you get candies for rare mons. For example, there are no wild water Pokemon where I live, so getting a gyarados or leveling up the one lapras I managed to hatch is next to impossible. But if I make them my buddy, then I can actually get candies.

This is honestly, to me, a better compromise over the type-based candies that a lot of fans have been clamoring for. Type-based candies would be much better than the system they have now, where rare pokemon are virtually useless unless you happen to live near a “nest” where they regularly spawn. But this change gives…

I predict lots of people will have Magikarps are their “buddy”

my thoughts re: this are she honestly does not care at all bc her father makes her do this and she is otherwise too medicated to feel anything

So you’re admitting that actions made by humans have made the planet warmer than it otherwise would have been. Guess what? That’s entirely the point scientists are making.

Who cares if the planet was hotter in the era of dinosaurs? There weren’t any fucking humans then! This isn’t about the planet; it’s about the future of human civilization!

A couple separate thoughts here that don’t necessarily have much to do with the point you’re making.

The problem right now is portals were originally designed with a purpose (teleporting you, sans ship, to a planet closer to the center of the galaxy and wih rarer resources but greater danger) and that purpose has since been removed (planets all across the galaxy have the same resources, with rare stuff being…

Now the question is, does Hello Games know how they work? Or are they just as flabbergasted?

I find it funny people are theorizing that the portals are how multiplayer will finally start working. Just give up people, MP hasn’t been implemented (might not ever be if the game keeps taking blows).

Hello Games promised a lot of things that didn’t end up being in the game. This could just be another one.

Oh but your paying for the experience guys! It’s such a great experience and everybody complaining about the lack of content just doesn’t get it! It’s such a unique indie experience it really is!

Gee yet another feature the devs likely removed from the finished game? Colour me shocked. /s

Where do you think new wood comes from? If you aren’t in the pacific nw, that wood is getting shipped to you (if it is US wood). Otherwise, it is taking a boat trip from South America or elsewhere.

Not sure where you live, but in most places, it’s not like un-reclaimed wood comes from a tree farm behind the Home Depot down the road.

I don’t think that just being old is enough of a justification for keeping a dangerous structure up. We should definitely strive to preserve a fair number of the safer ones, but a changing landscape is a normal part of the march of time, and a lot of those old barns are really dangerous and collapsing in on…

*whispers* it’s because the Illuminati own a stake in Jezebel... but you didn’t hear it from me...

Yet you don’t mention Beyonce’s Ivy Park line? Because flying spaghetti monster forbid any Jezebel writer says anything remotely critical of Queen Bey?

This isn’t exactly a novel observation, but fitness and the appearance of engaging in exercise have become the new suntan, a sign of being wealthy enough to have the time and means to work out and eat healthfully.
