A shit system by Niantic used to give players a chance at catching Mewtwo in Pokémon Go. It’s a system based on layers of bullshit. You also need to be very lucky to be chosen to receive a pass. It also rewards casual players while giving the shaft to the most dedicated players. A pile of trash system in every conceivable way.
Samy did everything he could to understand the EX-raid system. He watched sadly though as all of his friends got an EX-raid pass while he was always left out.
A way of thinking that begins with the conclusion and spends the rest of its time trying to find ways to justify the conclusion, rather than the other-way around.
During an interview with the Monty Python troupe in 1979, they professed that "Life of Brian" was a condemnation of closed systems of thought. Example: after Brian escapes from the Romans, he is followed by a group of people who mistakenly believe he is the Messiah based on the fact that he does not finish his statement and therefore is "mysterious" to them. When he tells them he is not the messiah, they claim that only the true messiah would deny this. That is where dogma comes in. In the early stages of their new religion, Brian's unlikely followers built their faith out fo whole-cloth. They recover a gourd that is briefly owned by Brian, proclaim that it is a holy artifact and begin to assign greater meaning and significance to it. Upon finding his shoe, a schism emerges among his new followers. They are instantly dedicated to the emerging dogma to the religion of Brian. They are so eager to believe in Brian as the messiah that they immediately begin fashioning the tenants of their faith; the dogma of their religion.

A system of satellites in low Earth orbit that, in conjunction with a receiver, can be used to determine one's location anywhere in the world with an accuracy of about 10 feet. Originally developed for US military use and deliberately scrambled to prevent other users from obtaining accuracy better than 150 feet, the scrambling was discontinued during the Clinton administration -- and the game of geocaching was founded the following day.
While early GPS receivers only told users what their latitude, longitude, and elevation were, modern units have built-in road maps, voice commands, and various other features. And *all* cell phones are now required to have GPS built in so that 911 operators can determine where distress calls are originating.
The Global Positioning System has rendered my DeLorme map obsolete!
A self-powered desktop speaker system designed for PCs or mp3 players.
I was going to get the 2.0 speaker system for my iPod but decided on the 2.1 with the subwoofer.

the most confusing thing in the world if your a foreigner
A system that recognizes people who have done something outrageous, something that society has frowned upon, something that is a little bit silly, etc.. The Tier system is as follows going from beast to... well... higher beings...
Beast
Super Beast
Ultra Beast
If this Beast somehow reaches beyond Ultra Beast (Which is pretty hard to be honest) then they can be deemed as the following...
Sexmaster
Legend
Immortal
God
Omnipotent Being
Of the 10th Dimension
(Open to more tiers depending on beastliness)
Examples for the Beast Tier System:
Ex. of Beast:
Person 1: Yo bro did you hear about Tim smashing that black girl?
Person 2: Yeah dude he is a fucking beast.
Ex. of a Legend:
Person 1: Yo bro did you hear about Tim smashing like 5 black girls at a time?
Person 2: Yeah dude he is a fucking legend
Ex. of a being Of the 10th Dimension
Person 1: Yo bro did you hear about Tim smashing the Pope?
Person 2: Yeah dude he is Of the 10th Dimension.
After decades of marriage and exclusive commitment, they finally reached the toxic binary system event horizon; a boundary through which no penetration is possible. Let’s just hope that they’ve both achieved immortality.
