I forgot to mention that the video shows 5pp for Venom Bite, but decided to change it since to more closely match thunder.
Old: 5pp 120 power, 85% accuracy, 33% chance to poison
New: 10pp 120 power, 70% accuracy, 30% chance to poison

I decided to lower the accuracy because poison status already deals 1/8th the damage each turn and Fire blast which accuracy is 85% has only 10% effect chance. The lower accuracy then balanced by the power point increase.

Comparison to gen 2 moves:
Fire blast: 5 pp, 120 power, 85% acc, 10% effect
Hydro pump: 5 pp, 120 power, 80% acc, --% effect
Thunder: 10 pp, 120 power, 70% acc, 30% effect

 

I converted my speculative species into a thematically fitting normal/poison Pokemon.

Venom Bite is the only custom move.
Physical, poison, 120 power, 70% accuracy and 30% chance to poison the target.
It's supposed to be poison variant of the Gen 2 Thunder.

No actual rom hack was done. This was a cheeky video edit, but all of the stats, sprite and flavor texts are within the original game constraints. Gen 2 Pokemon have 10 character limit so "Maned dragon" had to be abbreviated.

I scaled the IVs and EVs referring to my L73 Vaporeon, so every stat should be plausible and moves in the video is what Manedragon would have in wild.
They're not optimized for anything.

venom. Yet it
forms unique bonds
with its own kind.

Despite its name
and looks it's not
a true dragon.

That's what 65dos Taipei music video looks like, though that was released 2013 https://youtu.be/06ObT5yIIx8

I agree with the biological definition, "organism that can survive as an individual". Even if the fetus has a parasitic relation, it is capable of developing all functions to fit the full definition.
There are other definitions of 'life' and anyone is free to believe either way, but the more subjective question is: When does the fetus become a person?

Same thing with alcohol prohibition. People are going to break the law, legal or not. The US is said to be the freedom land, but women can't have autonomy over their bodies.
What I gathered is that 70% of the US congress is men, so it's not their freedom that they sacrifice.  
Christian values are important to some voters, so politicians can gain free points by promising anti-abortion laws.  
The politicians who make such decisions think one term at a time and disregard the consequences as long as it doesn't affect them. If they actually cared, they would also advocate for childcare benefits.

I believe abortion is killing, but it only becomes murder by definition if abortion is outlawed. The literal definition is "the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another."
The fetus won't have cerebral cortex till +12 weeks; no consciousness. So it wouldn't be much different than killing a plant or bacteria. It's debated when it becomes a human.
Yes, I justify murder as it will likely reduce the suffering. Thus, I am a monster in Christians eyes.

It looks bad for the advertisers to use strong words or take a stance.

That was a good watch, I can see binary view being at least part of the problem. I did think that religion might be part of the reason for some laws, but somehow didn't realize how big. And the video had many other good points worth of the watch.

It's totally fine if you believe that life starts at conception.
The thing that actually baffles me are the states that passed anti-abortion laws, but struggle to provide adequate health care, especially for those who are not financially stable.

I found this article, "States with more abortion restrictions have higher maternal and infant mortality", but feel free to correct or educate me on the topic.

I genuinely thought symlinking these files was standard because how many people I have seen suggesting it. I have had this issue so many times when I needed to that one program updated but there's no newer libraries in AUR. Surprisingly, I haven't had issues and I've been doing this past 5 years on my personal system. So I guess I consider compiling from source next time.

It did brush my mind as I'm still baffled about some abortion laws even if there's no brain development. But if it was an egg, it would be hard to enforce it and some eggs aren't fertilized. I bet someone would try to outlaw having a miscarriage if they could.

 

-Easier birth control: Make the egg into an omelette

-Relaxed child support laws: Requires deliberate decision to incubate the egg

-Clean packaged periods: Egg = No mess!

Although, there would be stories about partners hiding fertilized eggs: Instead of unplanned parenthood we would have unconsensual parenthood

There's probably more nuances I am missing. But do discuss it in the comments.

I tested the claim of Vaporeon's impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take pounding, all day and still not faint.

I wasn't planning to use Vaporeon against water types because I have Raichu and Vaporeon doesn't have any physical attacks learned. Thankfully Vappy got lucky freeze after tanking a crit.

This is my first time playing Pokemon blue in +10 years. Some months ago I played through Gen 2 the first time and because I never had tried Eeveelutions before so I caught/bred them all in silver.

Because I found Vaporeon's move set fun to play in silver it was my carry in gen 3 and now in gen 1. Espeon is good as well because of the psychic type. I swear it's not ~~only~~ because of the memes!
