@MonkderVierte Another red herring changing goalpost. Where do you think both reside?

@MonkderVierte @MaximilianKohler Eating dirt and practicing poor sanitation increases your odds of contracting an infection and needing antibiotics.

So much commitment for just a hypothesis

@MonkderVierte @MaximilianKohler You should’ve read the rest of the page then like the first one xdd
Dirt is contaminated by harmful heavy metals and other toxic pollutants
The known beneficial microbes are the host-native ones that are passed down generationally via vaginal birth and breastfeeding. Microbes that you pick up from the environment are not the same and are more likely to be harmful.
Antibiotics are one of the primary things you want to avoid if you’re worried about your microbiome

@veganpizza69 @Smoogs Every time I see health news, it always seems so polarized.

@A32topsL I use -S “codec” to download av1 then failing that vp9… but seems to be impossible now :(

@A32topsL Still forced 360p. I’ve already added screenshots. Seems -S is the culprit.

@A32topsL That doesn’t download av1 by default no? I’ve also downloaded some of the videos before with no problems

@liveinthisworld @gwen Does that even help bypass their firewall when the native app doesn’t work

@bjoern_tantau This is Tumbleweed correct? I remember its iso being 800 mb small

@bjoern_tantau I meant without having to use command line to get lxqt

@db2 Because unlike Twitter, Reddit isn’t dying from being so unprofitable :boo_hoo:

@nostupidquestions Hmm. Just logged in through another app and it said server is using unsupported software

@DoucheBagMcSwag @Flatworm7591 What’s the news with Discord and by home you mean Dubai?

@ultratiem @piracysails The piracy megathread site says that’s a fake clone https://rentry.co/megathread-unsafe-sites

@lvxferre Define meaningful changes to core gameplay and Gamefreak doesn’t seem to have perverse monetary incentives to power creep so I’m just guessing a more benign creative block here rather than willful. I don’t think people buy Pokemon games for the competitive esports aspects anyway even though I see a lot of changes in later gens clearly geared towards VGC gameplay.

@lvxferre I know there are perverse incentives for power creep for games with in-game monetization but even with MOBAs who produce less and have less combinatorial possibilities on moves/items can have power creep so I don’t think mass production alone does it. I’d reckon power creep is a demand side problem, people get more dopamine when something they use is overpowered. Also legendary power creep prolly started with Gen III Kyogre rain-boosted STAB Choice Specs 150 base power spread move.

@sleepybisexual Aside from what lvxferre said, there’s also Stealth Rock with very ineffective way of removing it because of ghost types, random 120 base power moves and the physical/special split essentially buffing the coverage of offensive pokemon (Gengars can actually use Ghost type moves). Essentially the gen that made dragons overpowered. I guess you can say these are all subtle. Gen 6 onwards just made it more blatant with gimmicks like mega-evolutions, z-moves and terrain.

@lvxferre @sleepybisexual Gen IV was when the real power creep started to happen.
