  1. UU Tornadus

    This is a wonderful phrase. I have nothing to add, just wanted to point that out.
  2. Gen 6 The XY Ubers Viability Ranking Thread [Read Post #1000]

    As long as you're laying down the law in ubers, want to explain to these people that Megas are ranked separately from their base form, as they are in every other tiers' viability rankings?
  3. np: XY UU Stage 2 - Light Em Up

    Nidoqueen is almost a perfect counter to Togekiss. Rotom-H is niche, but is another full counter. Raikou and Rhyperior are very solid checks. There are a bunch of other potential checks depending on what set it's running -- Fletchinder, Doublade, Mega-Aggron, Gligar, Mega-Aero, Crobat, Jirachi...
  4. np: XY UU Stage 2 - Light Em Up

    If you want Slowbro to more reliably counter Hawlucha, you could run Psychic instead. 0 SpA Slowbro Psychic vs. 8 HP / 0 SpD Hawlucha: 284-336 (94.9 - 112.3%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO Sucks if you're running CM set, but not too bad for support sets.
  5. np: XY UU Stage 2 - Light Em Up

    I like the jump from "mediocre bulk" to "absolutely horrible", it happened so quickly. And no, I don't assume that. I've seen Haxorus take a hit and still survive priority attacks, because 76/90 physical bulk really is fairly above average. M-Absol does around ~60%, and the only stronger...
  6. np: XY UU Stage 2 - Light Em Up

    76/90/80 isn't terrible bulk, especially on the physical side. It takes 54-64% from M-Absol's Sucker Punch, so I'm not sure what priority is supposed to reliably take it down. Adamant Lucario's ExtremeSpeed does 41-48%, and both of these calcs have been with 4/0 Haxorus. Scarf Hydra is a good...
  7. Gen 6 The XY Ubers Viability Ranking Thread [Read Post #1000]

    But those changes make a very big difference in viability. Plus there are exceptions -- Mewtwo being the obvious one. Really, it only makes a difference on a few Pokemon as the normal form usually isn't viable anyways (Gengar, Kangaskhan, Lucario, etc.) Pretty much just the Mewtwo formes...
  8. np: XY UU Stage 1 - Reload [Salamence: BL | Next: DROPS!!!]

    Of course. I never said that Superpower was always superior to Earthquake, that would be silly. Defensive teams don't really have the luxury of saccing a wall and hoping for the revenge kill, and if you're trying to claim that all defensive teams should just give up until Crawdaunt is banned...
  9. np: XY UU Stage 1 - Reload [Salamence: BL | Next: DROPS!!!]

    Utility is relative, when Crawdaunt is the most dangerous Pokemon in the tier you're going to have to make sacrifices to cover it, that's just the nature of overpowered Pokemon. If your team needs a Crawdaunt counter, Superpower offers you more utility than support options that can easily be...
  10. np: XY UU Stage 1 - Reload [Salamence: BL | Next: DROPS!!!]

    Aggron does learn Superpower, you know.
  11. What is a right?

    There are two kinds of rights -- socioeconomic rights and civil/political rights. Socioeconomic rights are the rights to basic goods (like food and shelter), while civil/political rights are traditional Western rights like the right to worship, vote, free speech, etc. How you prioritize these...
  12. anti-Evolution legislation

    In starting a silly creationist debate, you all missed the most important point. This is the result of 1) democracy 2) conservatism + religion, and you're going to claim this as a victory against the Left? How is no government the answer? If the federal government standardizes curriculum...
  13. World's Best Cheeseburger

    The jucy lucy, from some places in Minneapolis. The concept is that instead of cheese on top, the cheese is cooked inside the patty. The result is awesome, though you're probably going to get scalded. Still worth it, though.
  14. Huckleberry Finn to be censored in new printing

    This is a step in the right direction. Kids aren't smart or focused enough to read things for themselves anymore, they have to have it read to them by a teacher or have students take turns reading out loud. Now they can do that without having to awkwardly avoid the touchy word every other page...
  15. The Elevation of Religious Ideas

    The existence of an invisible pink unicorn can be disproved because invisible and pink are contradictory properties. It's easy to disprove something that logically can't exist. But more generally, I get your point. And your ukulele example is taking the reverse of the statement. A "nothing...
  16. The Elevation of Religious Ideas

    Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like it would be very easy to disprove that statement.
  17. Gorebyss (Analysis)

    Huntail + Smeargle.
  18. DADT Repealed

    I'm in agreement that this will cause more tensions and problems in the short term, but I also feel that this is something that has to be done. We can't ignore the problem forever, at some point decisive action will be needed. This is just one of the many steps on the road to acceptance (not...
  19. Warning Appeals forum and process

    Posting in full agreement with this. It especially sucks to get ICBB because your access becomes really limited and everything is made inconvenient (ie, you can't search so you have to log out and deal with the anti-bot measures). Sometimes a mod is just being a bitch and there needs to be a way...
  20. AIDS Cure Found?

    I don't think you can have faith in a set of morals, because to me "faith" implies believing in something objective (however "believing" is defined), and morals are subjective. I can't have faith in an ethical system, any more than I can have faith in the idea that blue is the best color. You...
