So this doesn't particularly surprise me, but we can observe that you cannot, in fact, just buy elections, not even for house races. Money in politics is a factor -- one factor of many.

I mean, I know nothing about the opposing side and their finances. But I would suspect that local races are harder to just "buy" than ones involving a broader public.

Elon Musk's transition to become a right-wing conspiracy theorist continues.

Heard some people say he did it to sell cars to republicans. Unfortunately this is not a good reason even if it's true.

He probably did it because he knew this was going to get published soon.

[silverspawn]

Ah that does make sense

[Awaclus]

I learned that from reading the news.

Some say that the site is known for making stuff up. What do you think?

"Known for making stuff up" doesn't seem like an accurate description at all, although it did fail a fact check once.

Idk why but the programming bugs in pokemon gen 1 are so hilarious to me

Generation I

After a PP Up or a PP-restoring item is used, the move is usable in-battle, which can cause a vastly random and destructive array of effects. Its usual effect is a damaging move with Fissure's animation, which freezes the game if it does not defeat the target.

The move has no real name, so after selecting it in battle or learning it, it behaves exactly like Super Glitch, and takes an unpredictably chosen portion of RAM as its name. It often occurs that the name of a Pokémon in the player's current box will be used for this move, such as "DITTO used MACHOP!". If the current box is empty, it can even produce names from previously erased save files. It also inherits all the effects of Super Glitch, including the TMTRAINER effect, and these effects occur even if the move has no PP remaining.

If the Pokémon with this move reaches a level at which it can learn a new move, and has four moves already, the game will automatically delete this move and replace it with the new one, as it thinks that the Pokémon only has three moves.

In Pokémon Yellow, the ability to learn this move through the Transform move-swapping glitch was removed; however, it is still possible to learn this move through learnsets of certain glitch Pokémon.

RBGlitchNameBF.png is a dual-type Normal (hex 0B)/Normal glitch Pokémon found in Pokémon Red and Blue. It can be encountered by performing Method #3 of the Mew glitch using a Pokémon with a Special stat of 191 or by transferring a Chikorita from Pokémon Gold and Silver via the Time Capsule exploit. RBGlitchNameBF.png occupies hexadecimal slot BF and will become a 4 4 if it is traded to Pokémon Yellow.

RBGlitchNameBF.png's sprite has a glitch screen, particularly the red tint variant.

It feels like I finally caught covid, except that I keep testing negative. So probably it's something else. But idk what.

[silverspawn]

One symptom that doesn't fit is that it took away any ability to remember dreams. Usually I always wake up feeling like I just dreamt something amazing, even if I don't know what it is. Now I wake up several times feeling like I didn't sleep at all. But googling says that if anything covid incudes nightmares.

So Ash doesn't know there are wild pokemon in the grass until he's like 12 or whatever. That proves he's never before been interested in leaving his ~100 square meter village. What a nerd.

Asked the organizers if I could record my presentation by video even though I want to do it live, just in case the technology fails. They said yes.

but the deadline for submission is tomorrow and my voice is still severely handicapped from this non-Covid/Cold/whatever virus

I can't believe how many people just wrote in the the result in Excel without using a formula on this exam. I literally even wrote on the sheet that you're not supposed to do this. Do they think I'm not gonna check?

Sounds like exactly what I did, back in the 90s, when the end of year IT exam was the first time I had ever seen Excel. I had no idea you could do formulae or sorting or anything.

[silverspawn]

Since this is f.ds you should explain the joke to make it funnier

Did you attend class before that?
