Costs of running @lunastation are going up by about $40/month and we don't really have the budget for that. I can make it work somehow, but I would much rather put that towards paying our authors more. Alas I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. (sigh)

is Ditto the horniest pokémon? 

• yes, because Ditto can produce eggs with any pokémon except those in the Ditto or No Eggs Discovered egg groups

• no, because breeding any compatible pokémon with a Ditto will produce eggs at a slower rate than breeding two pokémon of the same species

« All of that changed over the past few years as Beijing went after some of the country’s biggest tech companies and its most high-profile tech entrepreneurs. The aim was to ensure no institution or individual could wield influence on the Chinese society comparable to the Communist Party. » in contrast to the united states, where tech companies wield immeasurable influence on society far outpacing party or government

re: JK Rowling 

« The portrayal of women in Harry Potter has been described as complex and varied, but nonetheless conforming to stereotypical and patriarchal depictions of gender. Gender divides are ostensibly absent in the books: Hogwarts is coeducational and women hold positions of power in wizarding society. However, this setting obscures the typecasting of female characters and the general depiction of conventional gender roles. According to scholars Elizabeth Heilman and Trevor Donaldson, the subordination of female characters goes further early in the series. The final three books "showcase richer roles and more powerful females": for instance, the series' "most matriarchal character", Molly Weasley, engages substantially in the final battle of Deathly Hallows, while other women are shown as leaders. Hermione Granger, in particular, becomes an active and independent character essential to the protagonists' battle against evil. Yet, even particularly capable female characters such as Hermione and Minerva McGonagall are placed in supporting roles, and Hermione's status as a feminist model is debated. Girls and women are more frequently shown as emotional, more often defined by their appearance, and less often given agency in family settings. » per Wikipedia, “Harry Potter § Thematic critique”
