flabebe evolves into floette which is central to the xy story so how can it be obscure

I personally think flabebe’s weird fucking name makes it seem more obscure than it really is, but going by search results alone, flabebe has the least out of any other pokemon.

maybe one day someone will hold a big poll of all the pokemon and people will vote one which one’s day recognize and which ones they dont.

Do you think it's more efficient to make handwritten study/reading notes on looseleaf paper kept in a binder or make them in a notebook?

It really depends on personal preference. The key to both is having a system of organisation. Without that, both are shit. 

In a notebook, the best organisation method I’ve found so far is borrowed from bullet journalling. Make an index at the start, manually number your pages, and add topics to the index as you go. I’ve started this recently for a journal keeping notes on the plants I acquire (they’re starting to be so numerous that I can’t remember sun/feeding/watering requirements off the top of my head). 

In a binder, organisation strategies are a bit more intuitive - use section dividers, side tabs, title pages etc. 

The pros and cons of both systems, as I see them: 

Binder pros: flexibility (can re-order pages as you develop a better understanding of the knowledge, can add more pages if you run out or cycle out finished materials. You can also remove sections at a time to study, which is great if, like me, you like to pace around. Hole-punch sounds (v satisfying). Binder cons: in my experience, they’re less portable (much easier for the binding to open and spill your pages everywhere, also they tend to be large and unwieldy). Also a little less aesthetically pleasing than a notebook (that’s my personal take, though). 

Notebook pros: portable, can look lovely, sense of satisfaction when you fill them. Notebook cons: Less flexible in how you organise them (can be overcome, to an extent, with a good index) 

My ~~ultimate recommendations~, if you want them, are as follows (bear in mind that I generally type my notes so give this advice on a hypothetical if-I-handwrote-notes basis). Take a notebook to class to take rough notes etc., organise these notes meticulously with index etc. When condensing and organising these notes to make summaries for study, start a binder that stays at home, more or less, from which you pull certain sections to carry around as needed. 

Hope this helped! At the end of the day, though, you do you. If it works for you, it’s a good system.

If you're not desi don't laugh at jokes about desi ppl you fucking racist asshole piece of shit.

I'm laughing at Desi jokes. I'm laughing at black jokes. I'm laughing at every joke I can find about whites and Jews and the Irish and any others that come along. I laugh at others as much as they aught to laugh at me. We all aught to laugh at ourselves and each other as much as possible. When we do that, we start laughing with each other - and that laughter brings to two completely different people a sense of union that your efforts are attempting to cease. You cunts think you have authority over humor? That you can put up a wall or obstruction to prevent me or others from enjoying what might be the only thing I have in common with my fellow man? Blow it out your ass. You're text on my screen, not the will which is mine to use as I see fit to laugh as I see fit at the jokes I see fit to laugh at. At the end of the day, it's this "racist asshole" who's still having a chuckle. How often do you all get to laugh when you're so busy policing others from do so? How successful, do you think, would a Desi comedian get if only other Desi folk were allowed to laugh at his or her jokes? They'd never get anywhere. You'd always be there to stop them by means of preventing those who are genuinely interested from supporting them because...not Desi?  Meanwhile that fella making jokes about water and what have you gets millions of views per video from people in all walks of life because he's hilarious and there's no one impeding him from reaching millions of people he otherwise never would have with you retards interfering.Whatcha got to say 'bout that?

rsd-10 replied to your post: “can we also address how throat singing, a culturally significant...”:

of course not

and I mean Tibetan Buddhist culture has been fetishized and appropriated for years

but this bullshit jokiness about throat singing is starting to seep into the mainstream and that's a big shame

why are whites racially superior to non whites

I’m not familiar with the evidence to that effect.

a more interesting question is: why do racial supremacist doctrines still  exist?

The answer in my opinion is that as a general rule, they serve to ameliorate feelings of individual inferiority by allowing those that embrace them to appropriate the accomplishments of a wider group,  and claim them for  their own as individuals. Peddlers of  such ideologies usually target angry and unhappy youths. These ideas in effect allow them to say to themselves: It may seem that I am an unimportant, unhappy person who has accomplished little, but in reality I am infinitely more.  I wrote Hamlet, I composed the Brandenberg Concertos, I painted the Mona Lisa,  I discovered the Polio vaccine etc.  However, by means of these doctrines the individual is  swallowed up by  the group In a way that is inconsistent with individual excellence and with individualism in general.
