WHY does team rockets pokedex talk like this ???
Pokédex: dreadnaw, the BITE Pokemon! A water and rock type. And I don’t- I don’t know?
Powokedex: Drednyaw, DA BITE Powokemon! A wata and wock type UwU. And I dwon’t- I dwon’t know? ÓwÒ
Pokemon Heritage Post
It spoke in UwU
In the Pokémon world this constitutes a new type of guy
people probably arent gonna remember all 905 pokemon nor learn about all 905
has the person who made those tags not seen how many subreddits there are to help people identify bugs and animals and stuff??
Anyway I’d kill to see the pokemon version that guy holding a tarantula hawk or the other one with the blue ringed octopus that sounds amazing
Consider-
Picture of a man holding a Spoink in his hands: I found this little guy in the forest! Doesn’t look native to Galar. What kind of Pokémon is this?

Sorry to bring this back but I haven’t slept in weeks wondering how she could possibly be alive if eating one chicken nugget is this fucking difficult for her

This is by far the best reply
Those of you wondering why I haven't been so active, lately.
This is what I was up to.
This was such a sweet mini story! I really relate to Amy here. I used to draw comics like this all the time. Even though she wasn’t confident with her work, Tails help show her how good she really was.
And I love the details to the games, TV shows and even the OVA were used. And so many characters too.
I’ve said this to my non-techie friends countless times. It’s no secret that being able to code makes you a better job applicant, and a better entrepreneur. Hell, one techie taught a homeless man to code and now that man is making his first mobile application.
Learning to code elevates your professional life, and makes you more knowledgeable about the massive changes taking place in the technology sector that are poised to have an immense influence on human life.
(note: yes I realize that 3/5 of those links were Google projects)
But most folks are intimidated by coding. And it does seem intimidating at first. But peel away the obscurity and the difficulty, and you start to learn that coding, at least at its basic level, is a very manageable, learnable skill.
There are a lot of resources out there to teach you. I’ve found a couple to be particularly successful. Here’s my list of resources for learning to code, sorted by difficulty:
Novice
Never written a line of code before? No worries. Just visit one of these fine resources and follow their high-level tutorials. You won’t get into the nitty-gritty, but don’t worry about it for now:
w3 Tutorials (start at HTML on the left sidebar and work your way down)
Intermediate
Now that you’ve gone through a handful of basic tutorials, it’s time to learn the fundamentals of actual, real-life coding problems. I’ve found these resources to be solid:
Difficult
If you’re here, you’re capable of building things. You know the primitives. You know the logic control statements. You’re ready to start making real stuff take shape. Here are some different types of resources to turn you from someone who knows how to code, into a full-fledged programmer.
Programming problems
Sometimes, the challenges in programming aren’t how to make a language do a task, but just how to do the task in general. Like how to find an item in a very large, sorted list, without checking each element. Here are some resources for those types of problems

Web Applications
If you learned Python, Django is an amazing platform for creating quick-and-easy web applications. I’d highly suggest the tutorial - it’s one of the best I’ve ever used, and you have a web app up and running in less than an hour.
Django Tutorial
I’ve never used Rails, but it’s a very popular and powerful framework for creating web applications using Ruby. I’d suggest going through their guide to start getting down-and-dirty with Rails development.
Rails Guide
If you know PHP, there’s an ocean of good stuff out there for you to learn how to make a full-fledged web application. Frameworks do a lot of work for you, and provide quick and easy guides to get up and running. I’d suggest the following:
Cake PHP Book
Symfony 2 - Get Started
Yii PHP - The Comprehensive Guide
Conclusion
If there’s one point I wanted to get across, it’s that it is easier than ever to learn to code. There are resources on every corner of the internet for potential programmers, and the benefits of learning even just the basics are monumental.
If you know of any additional, great resources that aren’t listed here, please feel free to tweet them to me @boomeyer.
Best of luck!
I’d also like to add some more specialized resources!
Easy game engines (virtually no coding):
More difficult game engines:
Mobile game development:
Game console development:
Note that games can also be created on more general platforms like iOS and Android apps, but the resources listed above are specialized for game development.
In order to develop iOS apps, you’ll need to purchase an iOS developer program membership for $99 a year, which requires an Apple account. Here are some general resources:
iOS apps are developed in the 2 official languages of Apple: Objective-C and Swift, the latter of which is newer and generally much easier to learn.
Objective-C resources:
Swift resources:
Xcode also has SpriteKit, SceneKit, and Metal built in, all of which are incredibly useful for creating apps that require elaborate graphics, particularly games.
SpriteKit resources:
SceneKit resources:
Metal resources:
Also, in order to publish iOS apps, you’ll have to juggle certificates, app ids, and provisioning profiles. This process can be convoluted at times so here are some resources:
In order to develop Android apps, you’ll need to register as a developer for a one-time fee of $25. Here are some general resources:
Android apps are developed in Java and the layout is coded with XML.
Java resources:
XML resources:
For publishing (which is somewhat easier than publishing iOS apps):
Stack Overflow is an ask-and-answer community for programmers. It’s amazing and will save your life. Sign up and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Github offers a student pack (here) if you create an account and prove you’re a student. This gives you free access to a bunch of great programming resources for free for a certain period of time, such as Unreal Engine. Also, Github in general is a site that you can host your code on. Other users can see it, and “fork” it to make a copy of your code and modify it.
Parse is a backend service that allows you to store data in databases it hosts on its own servers. It lets you use push notifications, create users, store and retrieve data, etc. It’s compatible with iOS apps, Android apps, Windows apps, Xamarin, React, Unity, OS X, Windows, JavaScript, PHP, .net, Arduino, and Embedded C. It’s free up to a certain limit that depends on the services you use.
Cloud9, Codebox, and Squad are online IDEs that allow for real-time collaboration and support a variety of languages, so they’re useful for team projects.
And some general advice:
Like the OP said, coding isn’t just for professionals and “geeks” anymore. Anyone can learn it if you really try, and with the rapidly expanding tech industry, learning coding can really broaden your opportunities.
If any of the links are broken, or you have a question or some information/resources to add, you can contact me through the askbox or the OP through his Twitter (as mentioned in his post).
If you’re interested, try some of these out and best of luck!
Great work expanding on my humble list to include a much fuller collection of resources for learning how to code! Cheers!

Take the time to watch this, it’s MAGIC
what even
This was made to test out Twitter’s new crop system.
I’m not doing this because I want notes or attention, but because this needs attention. I don’t care if you think this is annoying or if you don’t like to keep seeing it on your feed, because this is serious.
Asian-Americans are being targeted, and assaulted, and murdered for just existing. This needs attention.
I made a post about it here, but please please please look at the links below to inform yourself about the situation that is currently happening and has been happening for so long.
Go fund me for an 75 year old elderly Asian-American woman who was assaulted by a 39 year old racist
The shooting in Atlanta was not an isolated incident, Asian targeted hate crimes have been on the rise since the very start of the pandemic, and it has not slowed down.
If you are able to, I am urging you to please donate and help these victims.
And if you can’t, spread awareness and educate yourself, it only takes 2 clicks on your phone to share informative and helpful posts.
And lastly, do not target and blame other minorities for this. They are not the main problem, we should not have to fight and argue with other minorities over who “deserves” basic fucking human rights.
It’s time to activate it…
