I'm going to make an argument for a minority browser: Midori. It's a minimalistic browser, but it also happens to be my favorite for 3 main reasons: 1. Extremely lightweight but extensible 2. Uses Webkit for rendering and is standards compliant (passes all 3 Acid tests) 3. Has speed dial...

I disagree that if someone is unable to understand body language that they therefore lack inductive reasoning skills. For instance, certain post-stroke victims suffer a form of anosognosia where they become unaware that they've become disabled. For instance, a common case is when a person...

I've had my mind changed before by a convincing enough argument posted on a forum. While I am aware that your cached thoughts are telling you that threads about the existence of God go nowhere, you should consider otherwise. One solid argument can be more than enough to persuade the unbiased reader.

Free will is a concept that exists independently of low-level phenomena. That is, even if we suppose that all events in the universe, from the low-level movements of molecules, were determined by the Big Bang, free will still exists independently of that. The fact is, when you go at a low...

I should've rephrased that better. I mean that laws governing the universe still existed, but those laws would be meaningless, because they would be violated regularly by "miracles". That's not what I was trying to bring up here. I was trying to bring up how religions evolved from being...

Believe it or not, there was a time when people actually believed in things in the Bible. To clarify, they actually believed that everything in the bible was not only true, but it was actually falsifiable. For example, to settle whether people should believe in the Judaic god or Baal, so they...

Also about Stark Mountain being overwhelming: I find Stark Mountain to be very, very casual in regards to standards of debating compared to some other communities, which is why I find it enjoyable to read. Anyways, I've noticed that in order to deem a pokemon broken, you have to go through a...

I really hate my libido, especially since I feel like I'm just giving into primitive, stupid, irrational urges that tell me that having sex and reproducing is a good thing; it doesn't help that wanting to have sex is also a "norm" of some sort, probably because societies that aren't focused...

This can be said for plenty of pokemon that are not considered broken. For example, a Swords Dance Lucario could easily be countered by Rotom-A, thinking it has bullet punch, but instead has Crunch and completely destroys Rotom-A. Likewise, A Swords Dance Lucario could be killed by Gengar...

I think the loss that you have on attack is extremely significant, especially when you realize that its type coverage is not exactly that hard to resist. First though, for reference, I shall be using the Smogon analysis for the recommended EV and stat distribution for BulkyMence, which has an...

I was using Smogon's listed DDMence set, which usually runs with a Naïve nature (in order to outspeed more effectively) and 232 attack EVs, which when boosted (364 * 1.5 * 1.3) would yield a 710 attack (rounded up), which is lower than Garchomp's 718 with a Jolly nature. Although I do appreciate...

Regarding Deoxys-A and Deoxys, I think that's a broken analogy because both do not need to set up in order to do a similar amount of damage.

I don't think it's all that important that "no one" can switch "safely" into Salamence's moves. The fact of the matter is, no matter what Salamence does, every single one of those choices is very easily punished. If, suppose by chance, you slipped and let Salamence Dragon Dance, it's still...

I disagree that Salamence should be Uber, since I feel that there's always going to be one sweeper that exceeds in skill above others. While I have limited experience playing Pokemon, from all my battles with Salamence variants, I usually found them to be easily counterable when a little bit of...

I devised this team as a means of trying to elevate my CRE, which has remained in the 1200s and occasionally peaking into the 1300s. I didn't want to do a stall team, since every time I tried to build one I seemed to be indirectly copying Obi's, and I didn't want a paper-thin offensive team...

Well, if Obi feels confident enough that Kyorge would be a balanced addition to the metagame, I'm entirely for having him try it, even if I'm 100% certain that it would fail the tests. Besides, because we haven't done any testing (with the exception of Manaphy), everything any of us would spout...

What is your definition of what is considered a "Safe" switch in?

This statement is true. I mean, the argument some users are proposing is that because one Pokemon may be game-breaking means that the action of bringing other game-breaking Pokemon is okay, but that statement fails to acknowledge the possibility that perhaps Garchomp is game-breaking and we need...

You do know that there's people who need food, and need to make a living, and overall follow their own pursuit of happiness? First of all, as far as the star of heroes is concerned, he probably has no real grief to deal with. As far as I'm concerned, he's a typical smug celebrity that is...

They have the right to capture and sell whatever is there, and to make a living. Humans > Animals. Always has and always will be.
