@eye_zitt @zg9064 It's multiplicative, so it doesn't matter. It works out to be the same in the end either way.

@Kn0lln @DaWoblefet @dylanis_chilln Seems like maybe the Encore + Gigaton interaction supersedes the Disable. If you Encore Tink into Gigaton (also works with Bloodmoon) the attack still goes off, allowing the move to be used twice in a row. For some reason this interaction must bypass the Disable effect.

@fukcing_idiot @Kn0lln @DaWoblefet @dylanis_chilln If you're Encore'd into Gigaton Hammer, the move does actually go off on the Encore turn, allowing it to be used twice in a row. After that Tink would have to struggle. Learned this the hard way because this is also how Encoring Bloodmoon works.

@lusius8879 @Arata_Aoki @DaWoblefet @KarthikVGC Also applies to base Kangaskhan and Mega Loppuny with Scrappy also blocking Intimidate.

[Gavin Davidson, MSc. @NaturalistGavin]

@lusius8879 @Arata_Aoki @DaWoblefet @KarthikVGC Mega Manectric has Intimidate. Base Metagross has Clear Body. If abilities activate after one megas, but before the other does (seen in previews but haven't played enough to see myself), then Intimidate may or may not be blocked depending on when things activate.

Christopher Columbus was so infamously cruel that the Spanish crown paid to send someone to Hispaniola in 1500 to investigate. This resulted in a 48-page report detailing the testimony of two dozen witnesses, and the investigator himself, of how Columbus had mismanaged the colony, cut off ears and noses, tortured colonists that questioned his authority, paraded women naked, and sold natives into slavery. He was arrested, tried, and stripped of his titles.

Some people that witnessed his barbarism, who had initially supported and participated in his colonization efforts, became so disgusted by Columbus's behavior that they also published accounts of his atrocities and began advocating for the rights of Indigenous populations. In particular, a contemporaneous Pope, and many other lesser Catholic figures, condemned Columbus explicitly, viewing his behaviors as grave offenses against G-d.

Matt, you are literally more of a cretin than people that died before 1600 BCE. I wouldn't call you a conservative, I would call you a barbarian.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

This cast wasn’t just for me.

It was for every single trans person, every single queer Pokémon fan, to feel seen in a world that feels more hostile than it’s been in a long time.

Pokémon is for everyone. That includes all of you 🩵🤍🩷

“They tagged him in another post” isn’t the point. We gotta stop making everything about Wolfe if we want VGC to have a future. There will never be a single player with as much impact on the game but there so many other excellent players, like Gio, who deserve to be acknowledged.

i do everything i can to create opportunity for moments like this so people can see there’s support for us out there in a time that support can sometimes seem scarce – this one is pretty special 🏳️‍⚧️

As someone who graduated from first grade, this is not how numbers work.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Yet again, we're in one of those moments when a college offers an interesting elective course, and clowns online get all huffy about it and whine that college education has become trivial and ask what job a student will get with this course.

So, a quick explainer.

Proposing streets like this is considered "communism" in the United States.

Ohhh everyone’s getting lead poisoning again. That’d be it, that makes sense.
