more people suing over a virtual game. Waa we built a park, now people are using the park, and we don't want them to! or Waa we have a church and people are coming to the church but we don't want them to!
Well, considering Arceus I'd be a little leery of anybody who showed up at my church with a master ball, too.
The Seattle Times is reporting that the French education minister, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, is requesting thatPokemon Go developer Niantic remove rare Pokemon from every school in the country. At a press conference yesterday, Vallaud-Belkacem said that she intended to meet with the developer to discuss the removal of Pokemon, specifically rare ones, from schools throughout the country, with the specific intent of deterring non-students from entering the grounds in order to attempt to catch them. Earlier this month, the mayor of French village Bressollesdecried the "anarchical settlement" of Pokemon creatures in the village. "When a cafe or a restaurant owner wants to open a business in any French town, they have an obligation to request prior authorization to the mayor," he said. "The rule applies to all people wishing to set up an activity or occupy a space on a public property. So it applies to Niantic as well, even though their settlement is virtual."
Not knowing the finer points of French law (or even the really fucking broad ones), I will still wager that this mayor doesn't understand the breadth of what he's proposing here. That would set a potentially far-reaching precedent. That said, someone should just tell the French politicians to calm their tits for a month or so while the fad blows over. That's what has happened almost everywhere else.
Right? I think what killed it was you can't battle. As far as i know. Would haveblasted longer if you could battle.
battle between trainers is slated for a soon™ patch, appraisals have been patched in to allow people to cultivate the best pokemon for this purpose.
I liked Ingress better. Conquering the actual landmarks, not throwing fake balls at fake monsters in front of the landmarks and not even realizing where you are. How I know I'm getting old is: it feels like 2 weeks ago that Ingress was the new thing and Pokemon didn't exist, but it was really more like 2 years ago.
I would still play it, but then I got a night job with security checkpoints and a strict no-GPS rule. >.<; (They actually also have a policy saying 'don't play Pokémon Go on site.') Though that sentiment earlier about Ingress... I know, right?
This reminds me of the words of one of the generation's great thinkers. I always found his words to be inspirational, and they saw me through some difficult times. He said, "Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks. Lick on these nuts and suck the dick." -Dr Dre as found in his famous dissertation Bitches Ain't Shit.
Earlier this week, Stanford’s department of anthropology published a paper that re-examines Dre’s hypothesis and supports the idea as correct. As James Ferguson, the chair of the department, reports, “For years academia has subscribed to the paradigm that bitches could be of any sort; they could be a ho getting down on the club, or even a ratchet shorty popping bottles in the crib. But our work may prove this commonsense idea to be incorrect. When broken down into their constituent parts, bitches, we found, have only illusory differences; they aint, in fact, shit but hoes and tricks.” http://stanfordflipside.com/2013/10...s-as-suspected-aint-shit-but-hoes-and-tricks/
not exactly sure how they could check for GPS activity, it's not like you're pinging the satellite telling it where you are, but they might monitor data transmissions, which of course you need in order for Pokemon Go to operate. That said, it's hardly worth your job. It is kinda curious, what kind of job would care if -you- know where you are on the planet? If they really want to enforce that all they really need to do is lay some wire mesh on the roof, you hardly need to build a full on faraday cage, just block the signal from the satellite, seeing as how you know exactly where it's coming from (generally up ) it'd effectively prevent GPS throughout the building except on the edges and maybe the odd reflected wave that manages to bounce under the edges. (which would consequently no longer be entirely accurate, either.) As long as the gaps in the mesh aren't significantly close to .2 meters odds are good it'd do the job XD
