guarantee they're going after foreign students because they're a fucking easy quota point, just like going after immigrants who have been keeping all their appointments with the government

'we're deporting criminals' was always a fucking lie

I downloaded 小红书 to see what all the fuss was about (and also it’s the perfect opportunity to practice my Mandarin) and my second post blew up… their algorithm is built different.

it is important to note that “252+ Atk Technician Breloom Bullet Seed (5 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Greedent: 255-300 (57.4 - 67.5%) -- approx. 2HKO” but the ideal move is to use a choice band and use c.c. and get that guaranteed ohko.

He gives some episode IX Palpatine vibes in act three but I still think he does such a good job acting in that movie he’s still indisputably the best part.
The more time that passed the more shocked I am by how messy Gladiator II was. I assume all the scenes that would make Denzel Washington’s character make sense were left on the cutting room floor, but it’s truly wild how goofy he ends up being in the final cut, especially in the third act.

Okay, I guess I have to watch Arcane now. How many hours of League of Legends do I have to play to understand it.

It's got peak region design, peak pokemon design, arguably one of the better soundtracks, great characters (except Hau)

I will grant you that it's got an extremely tedious opening but that is just a test of your worthiness.
On this day in 2016, 8 years ago, Pokémon Sun & Moon were first released.

These games started the 7th Generation and added 81 Pokémon. They featured the story of the mysterious Ultra Beasts
