It's not necessarily the sleep ploblems, it's that I have to study really hard for a very important test that I'll have in months.

Oh, I forgot! And I love Demon's Souls. I've played and finished that game last year in my PS3. It's fantastic. Probably my favourite PS3 game.

1. Covid cases are starting to go down to 4949 cases today, down from 6000-5000. While some people on Twitter complained that it's due to less mass testing, it is still good news.

2. Malaysia is starting to develop two vaccines of its own. An RNA vaccine and an inactivated vaccine.

3. Phase 4 for Malaysia's immunisation programme has begun, and it's focused on critical industries (like food), construction, plantation, retail, and hospitality.

Okay then.

I just completed the Blue Lion route in Three Houses for the first time, on Maddening, just a few days ago. I heard this is probably the easiest route for this difficulty, hence I chose it, haha. Some early maps were challenging, but it became easier over time (aside from the last map), even though the enemies always had way better stats. I almost ran out of Divine Pulses on the last map, had to test some things too, especially when it comes to the reinforcements at the end. Even blocking the stairs and the surrounding area didn't stop the four wide-range magicians from appearing. They attack immediately, so one or two of my units would definitely die here. Going all the way back to a safe spot wasn't an option either, because new reinforcements would appear from there every turn and my team could never handle a huge amount of enemies at once. So, after using one more Divine Pulse, I decided to storm the boss from the middle area as fast as possible. Half of my units died at the end, because of those nasty magicians, but…it was a victory. A bitter one. It was a lot of fun, I enjoyed it greatly.

@Meanlucario

Made it to To Slay a God on my Lunatic file. That chapter is going to hurt.

How did it go? Did you complete the game? :)

@northern haste
There are at the time of Wild Force only a few Org on Earth at a time,and it's implied to have been that way for five thousand years. Surely not enough to develop a credit system. Definitely not organized enough to have cards with his own face on it.
Whether or not Jindrax is even successful at using the card is unknown,as we never actually see him use the card. He presents it to the cashier and then later he has the fishing rod.
Also strange,when the cashier asks him to pay for the rod,Jindrax pats his legs where pockets would be if he were wearing conventional pants. Why would he think he had money,as he is never shown earning any,unless he still has some from his job at the animal testing lab,where he was in human disguise. It's possible he's picked up subconscious habits from being human for so long.

And now I've reached my daily limit of nerd and risk overheating.

Come one, or come all.

I saw some fun game threads like this in the General Discussion forum, so I decided to start a fun, pony-related one. :3

Each person posts part of the name of an episode from MLP: FiM (starting with post one), and the next poster completes that episode name, along with listing part of another title. :)

In my example:

For Whom The…

and the next person would finish the episode title. And so forth. :D

To test how good your episode memory and knowledge is, it is preferable to not look the episode name up — but even if you have to (because we can forget things sometimes), it's fine. :3

Hope you all have fun! I will do my best to participate fully too. ;)

@kleptomage
They're testing the new Tundra. But being very secretive about it! Here

Wow, just looking up some facts about the Ioniq 5, and it looks great. Hatchback proportions with the size of an SUV, I think the Mach-E is a Tesla wannabe while Ioniq 5 is the opposite. Great design

And…. they're brave enough to do 3 month test drives to encourage unsure buyers to try the car. This is crucial, since a ton of people have no idea if an EV would actually work for them. Tell them to try it out on their daily commute, a shopping trip, a few local fast charge stations. So simple and effective.

@Count Adramélekh Sear
Interior looks very old-school like 2010 Aston Martin or something. I love it.

Something's wrong with this one: it implies "smile" instead of "smiling" and creates a separate "smile" tag which cannot be removed afterward (on >>2627219, >>2627817, >>2629336 and >>2629604) and also prevents the "smiling" tag from being subsequently added if it wasn't there already (tested it with >>2629336).

At least that's how I see it on my end. Does anyone else notice that issue, and if so, could someone fix it?

I'm not qualified or able to hash out the finer details of everything about this proposal. And what I present is a highly idealized version for the sake of argument.


Yes, it would have to be regulated, like any other industry. And that's perfectly fine and acceptable. Ideas would have to be field tested, laws passed, reforms issued, and punishments met out for violations. The details could take years to fully explore.


All I'm saying is that we shouldn't stigmatize the sex industry, and that there are plenty of opportunities for it to become a safe, and legitimate part of the US market.

@LeoNero
id gladly avoid the corona vaccine until its actually tested properly.
rushing a vaccine in 1-2 years isn't safe.

@phoenixacezero
Looking at the American murder rate compared to other countries… either it doesn't help, or it does and America is naturally the world's foulest pit of depravity. The tyrant thing isn't going to work as long as they control the army. And hunting is a hobby nowadays, not to put food on the table.


@tehwatever
Well, yes, of course. And I did say I didn't intend to, because of their necessity.

Basically, cars, knives, electricity, guns and many other things are all too dangerous to allow on any basis other than them being vital to a prosperous society. The others all pass that test — guns don't.




@Background Pony #96B8

the Trump era in terms of actual policy, was farther left then America in the 90s.

You got some examples for that claim? (Ideally, not based in Obama-era stuff Trump didn't get around to repealing?)

@tehwatever

Hence why people have to be of age, get licenses and pass tests to drive.

@DerpyFast

Finished Season 2. It started off much stronger than Season One.

Season One was a series of self-contained arcs, each with a clear starting and stopping point. There was the Royal Jelly Juggernaut arc, then the Finn-Tastic arc, then a bunch of disconnected episodes, then the Potion Nova arc, then the Sports arc.

Season Two feels like a dream. It also feels like it's missing a few pages; like Discord and the missing wishes weren't set up properly. Up until the final arc, I didn't think the wishes were real, so it felt weird to me that they were suddenly central to everything. I also expected the balloon ship to be more important than it was, and I was disappointed that it never came up again.

I'm kind of disappointed we didn't get more Potion Nova. I understand why the potions were removed in the second season; the idea that you can drink from the bottles in the cupboard to gain magic powers probably is something kids are dumb enough to test out. But I really liked how wise and emotionally mature she was.

Overall, I had a good time. Definitely miss the way season one flirted with existentialism, but the jokes and the wordplay were still on point. I might re-watch it someday.

I agree

1. Sarawak has started a full lockdown for 2 weeks due to rising Covid cases. Today, over 8,000 people have been infected, and the high numbers are due to more accurate tests conducted on people in Selangor, the worst-hit state.

2. In the Dharavi district of Mumbai, active Covid cases have dropped to 50 people, in contrast with surrounding areas having 204 to 254. New daily cases have dropped from 99 in April to below 5. The low Covid cases are due to an extensive testing method conducted on every household: tracing, tracking, testing and treating.

3. This reflects a steady decline in new cases in India due to lockdowns and more antibodies. New infections have dropped from 392,000 in early May to 237,000.

4. Malaysia has brought an additional 12.8 doses from Pfizer, which will cover 70% of the population. 2,223,000 doses of Pfizer will arrive on June, with 444,600 per week.

Headcanon: humans who know a bit about Pokemon are often amazed by their language skills, being able to at least get the gist of a language very quickly but also learn many more than the average human.

Pokemon who are snart enough to make the comparison the other way, on the other hand, are often astounded by the human ability to actually speak othe langusges, even clumsily. And stories of them being able to actually teach each other them are generally seen as either a test of credulity or proof that they're somehow psychic.

@Manerg
let me pill you on CDDA.
the game that withstands the test of time, and is pretty fun to learn.

@Background Pony #B475
She would demand a step-by-step breakdown of the test, and quiz Pinkie on why she gave each answer.

Pinkie scores higher than Twilight on an IQ test. How does Twilight react?

@Latecomer
If it was a spell that only worked on alicorns, surely she would have had to have it work or otherwise be tested on only alicorns to even attempt it, and that's highly unlikely, given their rarity.

It's exactly like Zecora's potion that demands 'alicorn magic'. At best contrived, at worst actual nonsense.

Celestia literally turned the Crystal Empire two parter into a test for Twilight.

The Season 5 finale had them go through multiple timelines where if those six don't become friends then Equestria is screwed.

The series basically let the Mane 6 and Twilight get away with a lot.

Effectively, the world revolved around Twilight and the girls to excessive amounts beyond "main characters".


If anything Starlight was the beginning of putting competency in the pool characters that weren't sleeping with the Tree of Harmony. Which is good because it dragged back the excessive overwhelming importance on the main characters.

1. India has developed its first home Covid test kit from its own industries.

2. Around two million Covid tests were done in India, the highest record in a single day. Today's recoveries in India have outnumbered today's new cases, and active cases are starting to decline.

3. Another 559,200 doses of AstraZenaca have arrived in Malaysia today. The same amount will be delivered on a daily basis, with another 600,000 doses next month, and 2 million doses of Pfizer will arrive in Malaysia on July.

1. The South African and Philippine variants have been detected at Sarawak.

2. There are now 6,806 cases today. As a result, the government is considering a total lockdown at Selangor, the worst-hit state. Manufacturers objected to this because it will mean that their businesses will close.

3. Japan has recommended the use of AstraZenaca and Moderna vaccines.

4. India is now using blood tests to detect Covid in patients.

OH COME ON! That's a low blow! Watch where you're shooting—I thought you're good at this?!

REF! That's cheating! Blowing up hospitals and covid testing labs is cheating!

I thought you guys are the most moral army in the world (according to PragerU)!

I expect this kind of bull from Hamas, I don't expect it from the strongest military in the region by far and the only democratic shining beacon of western enlightenment and excellent morals in the middle east!

1. It could be due to better testing that exposed the total cases to 6075, even though experts have suggested that the actual rate is higher. Malaysia needs a total lockdown like MCO 1.0, so that we will not become like India.

However, I also hope that after the lockdown, we will not end up being jobless and poor, like Venezuela.



2. Malaysia will be receiving 197,730 doses of the Pfizer vaccine on May 19, another 44,460 doses on May 20, and 17,550 doses on May 21.

3. The supposed 2 million Sinovac vaccines claimed by the Penang state government was not confirmed by Sinovac.

4. An Indian politician has spoken about a "Singapore strain". The government of Singapore has rectified that there is no new strain from Singapore, but the strain is the variant from India.
