Me also. I really do not like Pokemon.

That said, I was the one selected to take my kid to see Detective Pikachu and I have to admit it was a damn good movie. And really only took the skeleton of the Pokemon idea and did something interesting with it anyway.

What is there to really dislike about Pokemon? I didn’t realize that it was intrusive enough on those that don’t play or watch it to trigger such strong feelings.

I mean “weird” and “weaboo” are interchangeable so he might have a point.

On brand.

It’s oddly appropriate that those who are most focused on the supposed inherent moral imperative to have children are so often such awful parents.

He hasn’t got the time to parent his children, he’s got a full time job going on podcasts to berate the rest of us for not having children.

”And he is really into Pokemon cards right now, he’s going through a Pokemon phase… I mean he’s really into it, so he is trying to talk to me about Pikachu and I am on the phone with Donald Trump, I’m like ‘son, shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu,’” Vance told the podcast.

Wow. Maybe Vance should have gotten some stability in his career before he had kids. Maybe figured himself out a little better and grown as a person until he was ready.

Children are a life-altering obligation, after all. Maybe Vance would have been happier if he focused on his career first. Of course, that’s a deeply personal matter, and I would never assume that I know better than someone else what is best for their life.

Wow! I didn’t know this existed. So it just turns JavaScript off to kill ads? I thought we could do that in our browsers ourselves.

It bypasses paywall too

Sadly the firewall bypass doesn’t work as good as it did in the beginning :( A lot of websites changed how they implement a paywall and I read some rumours a while back, that some news sites closed a deal with the developer/hoster of 12ft. Allegedly, 12ft would be paid to exclude certain news sites from the bypass - I don’t know whether those rumours have been confirmed or not

What a weird thing to say to your kid. That’s not normal. What happen to protect the kids? “Shut the hell up so I can talk to the rapist, convicted felon and credibly accused pedophile!”

Are these the family values?
