if we lived in a world with zero transaction costs ("transaction costs" being a term i'm using very loosely here to mean the costs in time and resources to achieve an intended scenario or goal), it would be quite fun to decide all disputes using pokémon battles or other competitive game
now the better question is, what type of competitive game would you use?
for example, if i like pokémon battles but hate texas hold 'em poker, but i had a dispute against someone who liked texas hold 'em poker but hated pokémon, then what would we use?
well, perhaps i could beat 'em in a pokémon battle but 'ey could beat me in a game of poker
then we could argue some more
and then my allies would come and fight 'em and 'eir supporters would come and fight me
and the conflict would escalate to epic proportions quickly!
and have no resolution in sight! AND THE BATTLE WILL LAST FOR ETERNITY !!!!!
but this only would be fun if we had nothing better to do with our lives and had unlimited resources and capability to do such silly things
i was actually surprised the first episode of gaim did not devolve into a street brawl but instead was settled in a mostly-orderly manner by a game of holographic pokémon
it would be an interesting world if, instead of accepting a given social order, you really could practically set out and create a rival social order
rejecting the empire and building one's own to rival the original!
then, decades down the road, dramatically coming back into the main office or throne room or whatever of the original empire or societal leader or whatever

I liked "Waking Up in Vegas" but that seems to be like, her least well known hit.
"Dark Horse" is alright but is mostly carried by the presence of Juicy J, and that's not even one of his better verses.
I also liked "Waking Up in Vegas". But I can never, ever forgive her for the supreme blandness that was "Roar". The least genuine, generic 'inspirational' song ever.
I think I've outgrown Transformers, like, officially
I tried to watch the fourth one after being coerced into it by my parents, but after an FBI agent made his way into Marky Mark Cade Yeager's property by saying "my face is my warrant" I couldn't take any more
Beachcomber has a hard time reconciling his love of peace and freedom for all creatures with the need to combat those who threaten it. Furthermore, however just the cause for which it was fought, the gruesome and destructive aftermath of any battle sickens him to the spark.
Sometimes, when the internal struggle gets too heavy, he simply has to wander into the wilderness and cleanse his soul. Even there, far from civilization, he sometimes finds strange substances to aid the Autobot cause, for Beachcomber is a skilled naturalist, and geology is his specialty, man. He often tries to preserve or even to hide these discoveries, but he has seen too much evil done by the ruthless Decepticons to conceal any possible source of aid completely from his allies.
Beachcomber's geology tools include a wide array of sensors (magnetic, seismic, sonic, infrared) and a 'sonic pick' which can cut through rock. Beachcomber can use his magnetic sensors to navigate like a compass, but local magnetic disturbances can cause this to lead him astray. His sonic probes possess only limited range.
Beachcomber is neither very fast nor very strong, and his antiwar sentiments gain him little respect from the more martial of the Autobots, yet he is agile and skilled in a fight, and his courage is beyond all reproach.

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot

and take their weapons leaving them dead
