I prefer the dratini->gyrados / magikarp->dragonite pipeline theory, myself, but I can gestate with this caterpie branch. The venonat->butterfree coloring and eyes do seem too coincidental. Maybe the artists that worked on each one had their favorite colors, so pokemon they did all ended up schemed similarly?

I’ve got this thing called a phone that accesses this other thing called the internet which has this other thing called a campaign website with links to these other things that the person running for office has stated in an official manner about their policies. Why the hell would I want someone to come talk to me in person, where they are going to lack information, bumble about trying to set the right tone, and take far longer to get the point across than these five words: Harris is better than Trump.

I can see it for a small, local candidate… but for the example given of the Harris campaign, the fucking presidential race? Come on, let’s be serious.

Though the article made sure to mention she pulled into his way

I mean, like it or not, that’s the way the law reads and is applied. We run into it with motorcycles all the time. Barring extreme cases, the car that pulls in front of the speeding vehicle is ‘at fault.’

I once had a beagle that was a voracious insect killer. She would play with spiders, cockroaches, ants, etc. the same way people talk about cats playing with mice. Eventually, she would always make a mistake of pressing too hard when trapping the insect and pulling it back, and we’d have another little squish spot by the back door that needed to be cleaned.

That, AND the software is a piece of shit that you need to wait 15 minutes every time you jump to a different time, even if that time is 5 seconds away… Ask me how I come to be so quick with this response. I’m not bitter about working with a cheap employer’s video system, not at all.
