Not really. You're defering the cost to 1 or several random families in the hopes that people will continue to lie for you.
Hym "But the best possible outcome for you is that I get what I want. The worst possible outcome is that everything I've said is true. It's not principle that is leading you to do this. You're doing it because you're a retard and that's the same reason you do everything."

When your learning process starts at a manageable size of subjects which can rapidly go very very widely diversified.
Similiar to the view of an iceberg above sea level compared to its actual size is the insertion of a bottle of Arizona iced tea up your anus. At first you think its hard to do so but by time it will fit. Just so by time the amount of stuff u need to learn expands like the bottle neck of the besaid bottle. Your anus is simply rip after this process.

The Aerith-Hinawa Principle states that in a video game where you’re allowed to pick names for your characters, you should never name them after your loved ones. Named after two of the most traumatizing character deaths in video game history: Aerith from Final Fantasy VII, and Hinawa from Mother 3. A lot of people named these two after people they loved, and it only made their deaths that much worse.
Lucas: For my first Nuzlocke run, I’m naming all of my Pokémon after my closest friends!
Cloud: Please reconsider. I take it you’re unfamiliar with the Aerith-Hinawa Principle?
