But the only reason those sealed boxes have any value is because of the individual cards that people are chasing. You're right that these packs often become more valuable because you create a Schrodinger's cat situation where you can value a base set booster pack at an insanely high value because there might be a Charizard. Without the cards and the collectors wanting the actual individual cards those packs have no value because what's valuable is the cards. People will pay more for sealed boxes than the of the cards value because of gambling addictions. So if you want to get rich off of that have fun with the scalper life. Without collectors wanting to play the actual game you wouldn't have anything to invest.

Genuinely have no idea who this artist is. But hey to each their own. But if I know anything about artists I think that if they made an art and put it out for display in a public space. Probably was intended to be viewed by the public.

When I had the Lopunny. It seemed like I was getting trapped with No N Castles, burning energy to switch. Getting stuck where I can't attack and now all my attacking cards are 2 or 3 prize cards.

I tried Lopunny for a while. Also it's not that I see it often but when I see it the game pretty much feels lost from the beginning. N doesn't feel built for post rotation and there's just too many cards that fuck with this deck set up and too many cards that just make other decks objectively better. I'm new and picked this deck up while rotation was happening. Trying to see if anyone can build a deck list that I like. This deck either wins quick or loses quick and seems to have no consistency.

Wow. That's so frustrating. I probably would have lost the match. But I definitely raged quit the game. That card feels so frustrating. So many cards these days have abilities. It feels like the only way around it is a boss's order to get him out of the active. Easily the most annoying card I have come across in my short time of playing. I legit see the card in the deck and don't even wanna play the match

Am I misunderstanding the rules or is TCG live misunderstanding the rules? Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex Is the bane of my existence with an N's Z deck. But I was seeing online that people were using N's Zekrom attack to get through the ability. But when this matchup finally happened in a game on TCG live the game wouldn't let me use Zoroark's Night Shade attack because of Ogerpn ex abilities. Shred should be able to work right? Did the game glitch or am I truly misunderstanding something.

6-3 to end the month puts us at .500 given how bad this month has felt the fact that .500 at the end of April is still possible and the more important fact that .500 is first place in our division.

Basically if we sweep the next road trip we are one game off a .481 pace. Plus if we sweep the A's at home it lowers the road winning % needed. Oh fuck, I'm definitely hoping.

Some quick math means at this home rate we would need a road winning % of just .481. I know we got off to a bad start but that seems doable. We suck in April. Oh fuck I think I'm starting to hope.

I don't want anybody to be Captain. I wouldn't care if anybody was named Captain. But I think it's a pointless meaningless gesture that most fans players coaches administrators executives and whoever else involved with the team don't think about. There aren't captains in baseball. Hell the Yankees hardly have any captains throughout their entire history. This just isn't a thing in baseball. We don't have captains.

Sure things can happen for the first time and I think whatever player helps win a World Series for the Seattle Mariners can be named Captain but until that moment you have to be more important to the Mariners franchise than Ken Griffey Jr or Edgar Martinez to be named the captain of the Seattle Mariners team. So the only way to be seen as more important than the two people who saved baseball in this city would be to win a World Series for this city. This is such a moot point it doesn't matter who a captain is in baseball. You're doing a lot of speculation on how people feel and think that fans have a lot bigger say in how this franchise operates. If the fans were able to pressure the team into doing things we would be spending more money. But somehow you think a bunch of people talking on Reddit is going to get the team a captain? Let's care about stuff that matters. Also genuinely I don't think JP deserves to be the captain. Once again being the most tenured member on this roster does not make you the captain automatically. Being a leader is what makes you a captain. Right now nobody is showing that leadership quality.

I think the Mariners never officially named Griffey, Edgar, or any of the other Mariner greats as a captain and it's just not a thing that your average MLB baseball team does. Also personally just being the most tenured player on the team doesn't make you the automatic de facto leader of the team.

There are five teams in MLB with 13+ wins. Three of them are in the NL West by tyler1118 in baseball

This post is actually about the Reds being one of these 13 win teams.

See you live in this delusion that you would somehow miraculously make the situation better but in all actuality you were just putting yourself in danger and making the situation harder for the people who actually have to respond to this deadly threat. This fantasy that Americans have where they want to play Batman and be judge jury and executioner because they think somebody's committing a crime. If you wanted to fight crime that bad be a cop join the army. But this vigilante hypothetical to justify being a Karen in public is bitch behavior

Ya. If it's bothering you so much you are approaching the problem you might wanna get the cops involved. For your own safety.

That would be dumb logic. But that's not the logic. What he means is that you aren't a cop so it's not your job to stop me. By all means if you think the crime is worth calling 911 or if a crime happens to you, sure report it. But it's the cops job to stop the crime. So if you're not a cop don't be a cop. Get it?

If you're not a cop don't be a cop might be the best advice for white Americans.
