  • Hehe, I just left my starter pokemon at the front of my line up for the whole game. He ended up hitting max level, and none of the pokemon behind him ever really got to fight. He was one-shotting with “not very effective” moves. I also didn’t keep any of the buffs or debuffs, just attack moves. Since I was basically only using one Pokémon, he had to have a bunch of attacks cuz they would run out of uses. I wasn’t as young as you would hope for a “tactic” like that to be my solution to the game. But to be fair, it kept working… so was it really wrong?

    I assume it was pokemon blue, mainly cuz I picked blastoise. My level of creativity as a kid means I very likely wouldn’t have picked blastoise if I was playing pokemon red.





  • Anyone I know that had success with apps, it was eHarmony. Mostly because it costs money and takes work to make a profile, already filtering out so much just from those two steps alone. But the work that it takes to make a profile also helps to actually find who you want to find, and for them to find you.

    You have to actually know what you are looking for though, and ideally why.









  • You are about 20 years too late for any of this to make sense. China tech is on par with other countries now. It is still lower cost for bad reasons alot of the time, but good quality tech is readily available now. You don’t have to go very far up from the absolute cheapest unit price to get to the quality either, but of course, it’s the American way to always seek out the absolute cheapest product, quality be damned. And the absolute cheapest will often come from China, despite needing to cross an ocean.

    A “made in America” sticker also does not carry the meaning it used to 20 years ago either. You can get some of the shittiest cheap stuff “made in America”, it just won’t be the cheapest shitty stuff, despite being made locally to you, since the company still needs to make sure they are infinitely increasing profits forever…
