According Atsuko Nishida and Ken Sugimori the 3 Kanto starters were designed after their fully evolved forms (Venusaur came before Bulbasaur). They are based on Frogs, Lizards and Turtles. The Pokemon were designed as sprite art first then converted to color drawings by Sugimori.
@AdrianoKing0010@coolvibe@StefanMolyneux I don't think so. Religious people often have a pre-supposition in many cases that BEING RELIGIOUS is needed to be a good person. This poisons the well, makes them treat atheists like lesser people, primes them to look for bad behaviour, and may even see it where it doesn't exist
@StefanMolyneux Clever. That means that any atheist who says "I disagree with you and I don't like how you're misrepresenting me" gets turned into another "angry, hostile, closed-minded atheist". No-one can confront you on that without pre-emptively losing the argument.
PLEASE READ!!!
Overton Window successfully shifted!
What I have said for years has finally gone mainstream: NBC News.
“widening immigration might be bringing less-intelligent newcomers to societies with otherwise higher IQs.”
IQ rates are dropping https://t.co/Z3kBzXtBzC
Just off the top of my head, white countries gave the world:
- anti-slavery
- limited government
- free speech
- free markets
- rational philosophy
- equal rights for women and minorities
- freedom of religion
- freedom of the press
- modern science & medicine
Other cultures?
White Christians were the first group in the history of the world to figure out that slavery was immoral, and fought worldwide to end this universal scourge.
Guess who is the only group now blamed for the historical worldwide practice of slavery?
No good deed goes unpunished.
@amustycow@KEEMSTAR What happened regarding the economic impact of having your videos tangled up in that? Did the record label have to pay for that, or did you end up eating the cost?
If you unfocus your mind, and imagine that money is like air, the Left becomes clear:
- Air is everywhere, why be stingy?
- OMG you want to deny someone AIR? You must really HATE that person!
- Air is a common resource, it’s MEAN to hoard it!
- Who said YOU could own the AIR?
Calling reasonable people “extremists“ is the best way to create real extremists.
That’s the plan of course.
Say the devil’s name enough times, he accepts the invitation.
People who want to control others are merely confessing that they refuse to control themselves.
If you will not control your reaction to someone, you end up thirsting to control that person for “making you feel bad”
The bedrock of freedom is self-knowledge & self-responsibility
Indigenous tribal leaders sold tribal lands to white men, often against the wishes of their tribes.
This is considered unjust and immoral.
Some say it should be reversed, even hundreds of years later.
Modern politicians sell mass citizenships without consulting their people...
Tech censorship is just a shadow cast by the REAL problem.
Whoever wins an election controls trillions of dollars.
The government controls way too much.
The stakes are too high.
Greed corrupts.
Over time, reducing the power of government will reduce the incentive to censor.
@DaveWhitney3@TheSciBabe@StefanMolyneux They were perfectly willing to sell the couple cakes. They just didn't want to make a special custom cake.
Again, they were entirely willing to sell them cakes they already had in stock, along with the decorations they could use to dress it up themselves.
Lying is bad.
