Dificultades técnicas mis polainas, llevo 5 años trabajando con Unicode desde mis programas en C y C++ y por supuesto en PHP... es tan simple como chequear la gramática del wikilenguaje por construcciones con Unicode y pasarlas con urlencode + htmlentities para crear las URL correctas. Que haya poco personal para hacerlo no es una razón técnica, es una razón social.

(translated) Technical difficulties my ass, I've been working with Unicode for 5 years long in C, C++ and of course PHP... it all boils down to checking the wikicode grammar for Unicode constructs and urlencode them them to create the correct UR Ls. "Not enough staff" is a social reason, not a technical one.

The line is actually very, very gross. A self-insert is, well, you made in into the story. Wish fulfillment is that plus Goku+Death Note+Morgan Freeman powers and domination over the story / plot. A character that you are fond of is, well, just an individual, defined character, that you as an author care about. The gap there is comprised of all the adjectives, powers, numbers and perspectives that can be thrown in.

Well we can't live our entire lives worrying and fearing at every second that they may change the algorithm, right? Oh, gods, they now dislike the word "damn" as well!

For me, back to basics would mean a long series of "Ryu! Irene! Ryu! Irene!" cutscenes.

If I'm interpreting the first lines of description, as well as the Laconic, right, this trope is Promoted Fanboy causes Fanon to become Canon. At no point there is an argument for quality of the work. I mean come on, this even mentions Don Rosa!

Make him create, own or manage the next Apple/Google/Microsoft. There, problem solved and you don't need to get messy with lawyers that much.

Overthinking is our surname.

Y eso sería todo por mi parte. La gente que se deja engañar por estafadores iterantes tiene lo que se merece, en su mayor parte: técnicamente los horóscopos hasta el día de hoy SIEMPRE estuvieron mal.

(translated)And that would be all on my end. People who fall victim to itinerating scammers get what they deserve on the most part: technically that old horoscope was ALWAYS wrong.

Leaving Behind a Pet, Rights v/s Responsibilities, Symbols/Simulacra as Misused by the Mass Media, or Trust and Public Transportation.

Nice work, Eddie.

Sadly, this is how it [political protesting] works, and for a good reason: this is how bureaucracy works. So long as you meet a bureaucratic wall, violence is by definition the best choice to sidestep it.

I'm just saying we don't need to bend our asses to Political Correctness Gone Mad Yet Once Again. Some things are negative. We can try to balance them out by pointing some pisitiveness; what we can't do is deny there is negativity in the first place.

and quite an interesting representation of FE's MO. One point though — I'd hardly consider this the beginning of a slippery slope; we're already about twenty minutes in. Anybody remember when we used to have "big text", a standard feature in HTML and related markups and a standard feature of typographical expression as well? Yep. That was about some time ago. This is the slippery slope.

remember that in this world everyone is bound to eventually feel offended by one, any, some, all or none of the things that you do/write/etc, so don't take "X says Y feels offended" at face value. In particular when X is Fast Eddie.

But I don't see why you would assign less value to an example of a trope in a trope page if the example is present in a work of fanfiction, which, to remind, most if not all culture works are. Just look at Disney.

You are merely "closing your borders"; the other side is losing their population and culture.

No matter what you do, you are always going to offend someone. And if they aren't offended, they'll find a reason to complain anyway. While it makes sense commercially to reduce the number of offended people to a minimum, there's a point where reducing such amount starts depriving the story of value (both intrinsic and commercial). I'd posit that such equilibrium point is around the point where no people is unduly offended, no matter that some other people may have to feel so.

If someone who seeks your advice on a personal issue won't invite a cappuccino, they don't trust you or their problem is not important.

Never attribute stupidity where malice would provide practical benefits.

Jane ships everything, even while her brain is shut off.

Fiction has let me wanting Jetpacks, thinking if we are already under control of the Big Brother, and wishing everyone's life was more action-packed.

Because Grievous Harm with a Body implies using a mook to hit other mooks, IIRC. This trope is essentially repeatedly introducing one mook with the pavement.

The Nidoran entry is about half-way done.

rmctagg09: An enraged Slowbro is really something to behold, though luckily it wasn't directed at me. I still wonder how Silent didn't die collecting all that information on the Nidos.

Calamity Jane: Oh Arceus Silent... I don't even know when he's going to stop collecting information on them! I mean, I've gotten a bit more info on Kyogre after writing up my article for it, but not that much!

rmctagg09: He really, really, loves the Nidos.

"Dihydrogen Monoxide, colloquially called "water", is the most common form of matter in liquid configuration on the planet ironically called Earth. About 70 out of 100 units of surface randomly sampled across the planet will turn out to be covered by it. Chemically untainted dihydrogen monoxide leaves no immediately discernible traits to the senses of smell, taste or sight. Natural bodies of this liquid include lakes and oceans, all connected by streams of water naturally flowing across the landscape. Water can be collected airborne in fluffy cumulus nimbus, a natural process which allows it to eventually drop from the sky somewhere. The loss of energy at a molecular level leads to water shifting its overall configuration and acquire a solid state with molecules strongly tied one to the other; this same phenomena can occur to water dropping from the sky acquiring different names according to the conditions on which the change occurs. If, conversely, water gains energy to high levels, it switches configuration to a completely disaggregated and uncohesionned state where molecules are left to fly around creating floating water veils. Dihydrogen monoxide is, as it stands, a material of the utmost importance for the existence of life".
