  - Hopefully raids will open up to you soon (like early next week). - thewrongelement, bad guy Jun 23, 08:08
- battling in gyms gets you like no xp. it's kind of worthless. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 23, 07:46 8
  - does it still give you coins? because that was what made it not worthless -- nm - decline Jun 23, 08:02 6
    - In a different way that is probably better for some, but worse for others. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jun 23, 08:05
    - yes (if you take down the gym and pop your poke into it), and more now. but ... -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 23, 08:04 4
      - You have to hold it for an hour and you only get one coin. -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 08:05 3
        
        it used to be one coin per day, right? so better if you ahve time to stand around and give your gym poke berries, I guess. it's not unfun. just give - amanda jones state university Jun 23, 08:07 2
        
        It used to be 10 coins plus 50 stardust per pokemon in a gym when you collected. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jun 23, 08:16
        
        i think you got 10 coins, just for getting in. i never lasted 24 hours so i don't know beyond that. -- nm - Andie Jun 23, 08:10

- I'm not seeing the outrage, from seniors--I remember everyone freaking out/lying that seniors would be under a "death panel" under Obama care-- -- nm - Flavorize Jun 23, 07:31 19
  - The AARP is totally against this. The Right just sells outrage better. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:37 18
    - Why is that? I'm not convinced they sell it better. I think they just have a base that is more prone to (and motivated by) outrage. -- nm - pmb Jun 23, 07:41 17
      - They've had forty years of important right-wing media...they are pros at this. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:56 2
        
        Yes, there is a willingness to sell misinformation to a much greater degree. But I think it is more a reflection of the base that buys it than their - pmb Jun 23, 08:01 1

        which i'm pretty sure that most people on the left are condemning. -- nm - Andie Jun 23, 07:50
        
        This is anecdotal bullshit and doesn't mean anything other than that Johnny Depp is an ass. I'm hopeful you'll see more motivation on the left, but I - pmb Jun 23, 07:49
        
        A Congressman was shot 9 days ago. -- nm - Ender Jun 23, 07:45

  - why isn't that specifically getting more media traction? I'd think it'd be a huge selling point. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 23, 07:12 12

      - Right? "This will be achieved through magic and or robots." -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 07:22
    - Because the media's specifically not trying to sell it. -- nm - Ender Jun 23, 07:16 5
      - the media didn't write either shit bill. it's not the media's fault the bills are both shit. Republicans wrote both shitty bills. Not the media. -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 07:31 2

A mummified human toe that is the key ingredient in a strange drinking ritual in Dawson City is back where it belongs. -- (link) - Beaker Jun 23, 07:02 4
- Thats the 2nd one, the first was swallowed, my question to the current tie theft is, did they think it was a garnish that came with every cocktail? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 23, 13:20
- Dawson has a toe fetish -- nm - Bacon Jun 23, 07:05

The New Pokémon Go Gyms Are Live Now, Here's What You Need To Know -- (link) - Beaker Jun 23, 06:54 10
- I'm annoyed with this right now. I beat a gym yesterday and someone snaked it out from under me as I was putting a Pokemon in the gym. - Krusty Jun 23, 07:00 9
  - Getting rid of winners having priority is something I hadn't heard. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jun 23, 07:26 3
    - I certainly tried to beat them out of the gym but it would have taken an hour. I beat the new Pokemon but it was at 2500 and my win only knocked it down -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 23, 07:31 2
      - Yeah, I can really understand that. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jun 23, 07:41 1
        
        Ugh! That must have been quite frustrating. This doesn't seem any better. Different but not better. -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 07:45
  - Also, we're going to be getting much fewer coins. It seems to be one an hour and I think I've only held a gym for that long a handful of times. - Krusty Jun 23, 07:04 4
    - Yes, they are going to need to change some things in that regard. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jun 23, 07:35 3
      - I was hoping this would get me to fight in the gyms more but right now I'm leaning towards going back to ignoring them. - Krusty Jun 23, 07:40 2
        
        One thing I would suggest (to others as well) is that you at least practice fighting rival gyms. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jun 23, 07:50 1
        
        Good advice. My gf has a whole chart on which Pokemon to use in a battle based on type. I should check it out. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 23, 07:57

    - hmm not really, 2 day park tickets are about the same at both places - tRuMaN Jun 23, 07:19
  - Unless you are 100% set on doing Disney, this is the correct answer. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 06:58 5
    - If you're in the area and have never been, it seems a shame to miss out on the Magic Kingdom. - Shardik the Baron Jun 23, 07:06 4
