The main difference between Story and Classic is that on Classic she has better EVs, and is 3 levels higher than you.

On Story, she's level 60, Timid + 85 speed EVs, and base speed 100, so her speed stat is 171, meaning you need 172 speed to move first. This requires a base speed of 80. (or a speed-boosting ability)

On Classic, she's level 63, Timid + 252 speed EVs, and base speed 100, so her speed stat is 209, meaning you need 210 speed to move first. This requires a base speed of 108. (or a speed-boosting ability)

This tripped me up, because I thought my Mismagius (105 base speed) would outspeed, and it... didn't.

Looking back at it, bringing your own Gardevoir (with Calm Mind and Moonblast) to the party seems like it might be the easy way to go, because your Gardevoir isn't weak to any of her attacks, and she is weak to your Moonblast.

On Story, you want Timid Gardevoir to outspeed.

On Classic, you want Quiet Gardevoir for superior survivability.

Other options include: Unaware Clefable, FEAR, Toxic/Curse stall, and Destiny Bond.

Your main advantage in this fight is that you have six Pokemon and a bag full of healing items to her... two health bars and no healing items

She doesn't even have priority attacks or Mold Breaker like Yveltal.

Moonpaw help im really struggling against the first gardevoir boss in rejuv. Any tips?

i play on story mode, im not very helpful 😭

but she's a dark/fairy type, so you might have luck with fairy moves, or a dark type mon if you can get her dazzling gleam disabled

In case anyone was looking for a source on this:

The bill is called the MEGOBARI Act. (It's a backronym. Politicians like backronyms)

Also, it's the country of Georgia, not the US State of Georgia, in case anyone didn't know.

I think they might be mixing up two different guys who got nabbed by the Trump administration.

The claims I have heard were about Mohsen Mahdawi, who has been released.

I’ve occasionally seen in various articles about Mahmoud Khalil that he interceded when he observed antisemitism happening. What I haven’t had clarified is whether this was 1) antisemitism committed by his fellow protestors or 2) antisemitism committed by counter-protestors (lbr, being pro-Israel and/or anti-Palestinian doesn’t keep you from being an antisemite) and also whether the Jews he was protecting were 3) his JVP comrades or 4) Jewish counter-protestors and/or Jewish people passing by.

Cuz if it’s 1) good on him for holding his fellow protestors to account (although I’m not sure if I’d trust a non-Jew, particularly a specifically antizionist one, to justly decide what is and is not antisemitism), if it’s 2) but not 1) not so much. Similarly, if he interceded for only 3) and not 4), that doesn’t make him actually an ally against antisemitism.

In American politics, class issues are the tail and race issues are the dog.

(For those not familiar with the idiom: the dog wags its tail, the tail does not wag its dog)

The only way to change that is for White people to stop viewing non-Whites as enemies who need to be kept down.

This particular post looks like AOC trying to address that issue.

Will it succeed? That I'm less confident about.

To be fair, White folks are probably the ones most likely to need to learn that.

Does anyone have a source on this?

I found the article in the Tweet, but it doesn't appear to mention anything about David Hogg or "Leaders We Deserve"

Black liberals said David Hogg would go after Black Democrats and they were right, yet again.

More info, from the AG's office:

Prices were $47 vs $169

One investigator was told that the higher prices were "for Jews, because their cars are so dirty."

If they continue to violate the law, then they are being threatened with a $75,000 fine.

I'm not sure why they're not doing the $75,000 fine for the first offense, but it sounds kinda weird.

People should definitely complain to their state legislators (Assembly and Senate) about this. Either at their district offices (constituent outreach) or their Albany offices (actual legislating).

There are still a few months left before the New York State legislature goes out for the summer, in case legislation is needed for this.

James didn’t fine them or give them any punishment for charging Jews 4x the regular price ( 50$ -> 150$) for the same car cleaning (a scam they’ve been pulling since 2019. She told them to stop… and that’s the full extent of her protecting Jews.

This is what I’m talking about when I say the elected officials in nyc aren’t doing Jack shit about antisemitism. They finally stop an antisemitic business discriminating against Jews to prove they are combating antisemitism but it’s all for show, and they can’t even do that right because they don’t even punish the illegal practice that’s been going on 6 years! They are fucking hypocrites. They even dressed a guy up in an orthodox Jew costumes to prove the guy was charging what he said on the ad! The thing he had been doing for 6 years already, the thing they had already gotten reports on. They put someone in Jew face.

With allies like these I might as well vote for someone in NY that calls me a whiny Jew to my face but actually fines people that break the law.

Actually, it looks like if all of the Libertarian's voters had voted for the Republican, then the Democrat would still have won.

By two votes.

This would have pissed off the anti-voting fandom so hard... if they knew how to read.

Republicans are gonna be so fucking mad at that Libertarian lmao

What did Whitehouse say that was different from Schumer?

A shutdown would give Donald Trump and Elon Musk carte blanche to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now. --@Schumer.senate.gov

First, a shutdown would give Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk permission to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now. Under a shutdown, the Trump administration would have wide-ranging authority to deem whole agencies, programs and personnel nonessential, furloughing staff members with no promise they would ever be rehired. The decisions about what is essential would, in practice, be largely up to the executive branch, with few left at agencies to check it. Mr. Musk has reportedly said that he wants a shutdown and may already be planning how to use one to his advantage. Second, if we enter a shutdown, congressional Republicans could weaponize their majorities to cherry-pick which parts of government to reopen. In a protracted shutdown, House and Senate Republicans could bring bills to the floor to reopen only their favored departments and agencies while leaving other vital services that they don’t like to languish. Third, shutdowns mean real pain for American families. For example, a shutdown could cause regional Veterans Affairs offices to reduce even more of their staffs, further delay benefits processing and curtail mental health services — abandoning veterans who earned, and depend on, those resources. A shutdown could continue to slash the administrative staffs at Social Security offices — delaying applications and benefit adjustments and forcing seniors to wait even longer for their benefits. A shutdown could further stall federal court cases and furlough critical staff members — denying victims and defendants alike their day in court, dragging out appeals and clogging the justice system for months or years. Finally, a shutdown would be the best distraction Donald Trump could ask for from his awful agenda. Right now, Mr. Trump owns the chaos in the government. He owns the chaos in the stock market. He owns the damage happening to our economy. The stock market is falling, and consumer confidence is plummeting. In a shutdown, we would be busy fighting with Republicans over which agencies to reopen and which to keep closed instead of debating the damage Mr. Trump’s agenda is causing. -- Chuck Schumer

Oh, look.

When you can sense destiny, U-Hauling might be an appropriate response. :P

All I'm saying is that given that given how most Jedi choose not to get married/have bio kids/pursue romantic relationships, across differing continuities, even when such things are permitted, I think we can assume that there is a massive overlap between being Force Sensitive and being aro/ace
