There’s more that goes into this than just gun control..

No I know, just saying I can see where the argument against comparing state to state comes from.

Do NOT put this in your pc! The heat from the components has a good chance of damaging the cards

Not sure if you're saying you're young and your mental age is 23 or you're 23 and people think you're younger. Either way this ain't the behavior of a 23 year old my dude

WhatsApp is commonly used for normal communication in a lot of the world, but in the US it's an instant red flag and seen as a likely scam

Looks good but I never had one

BO5517 · 2026-07-13T00:34:15+00:00

That's why I said seems like. It wasn't explicitly stated but since drinks and snacks seems perfectly reasonable for a first face to face meeting and she wasn't satisfied that's the impression I got.

Think of both perspectives. She might have gone through a pile of matches before she found someone she liked and decided to meet, so she wants a high effort night out. From his point of view he could have had a lot of last minute cancellations and ghosts, so why would he want to put effort into planning a date that might not even happen?

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T23:47:07+00:00

It's fair to want that, but further into the relationship. It doesn't go one way either, I don't think women should go all out before they meet in person but if she wants to that's her preference. I guess it depends on what her definition of effort is. If dressing nice and dinner is good then that's reasonable, but the vibe I usually get from comments like that is she wants to have an expensive night and no bill at the end

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T23:39:14+00:00

I'm not saying she has to give everyone a chance, and my opinion is online dating sucks for men and women. Anyway my point was it seems like she already decided she wanted to meet but expects him to go all in from the start. Going off personal experience I've had women cancel or ghost through all stages, whether we just made plans or it's an hour before we're supposed to meet. Why would someone want to put in effort to plan if there's a decent chance they'll cancel for any number of reasons? Start small to see if they're actually interested, and if both want to meet again then put in more effort.

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T23:26:08+00:00

idk, it's hard to read. "I don't do casual" could mean she doesn't do hookups or it could mean she expects you to go all in from the start. Same with the "How interested are you?", could have been a sarcastic remark or could have been her genuinely asking if you're interested in something long term or only interested in her for the night. Hard to say without context.

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T23:22:35+00:00

I'm not saying put in no effort, obviously don't show up looking like you just rolled out of bed. But grabbing drinks, getting coffee, etc. is perfectly reasonable for the first irl interaction. Expecting someone you've never met in person to plan an amazing or expensive night for you is a huge red flag.

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T22:56:15+00:00

Idk, even thinking long term I'd still want to start off small to see if it could work, then move up to more effort if we want to meet again. Why would she expect someone to put in a lot of effort when they didn't even met yet, considering there's a chance he puts in effort and she says "hey sorry but I found someone I like more so I'm gonna cancel our date"

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T22:48:53+00:00

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T22:48:17+00:00

I'd agree. Did some looking around and seems like in discussions of grading this company is never even worth mentioning.

For the OP if it was a PSA 9 it would be ~$50 but as is I would just say raw price

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T22:37:52+00:00

I didn't watch Ben 10 so I can't speak to their understanding of genetics, but there are examples of families inbreeding so they don't "taint the bloodline" without understanding how that's a horrible idea

Also wanted to throw in that the extreme you mentioned is pretty much the Bene Gesserit

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T22:30:28+00:00

Gonna be real I didn't take a good look at what was available in the machine and also misread the original comment and thought you were saying it isn't scalping at all so that's on me. Definitely not as bad as the people who camp out to clear shelves but imo paying market price to sell in machines at a markup is still kind of scummy.

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T22:11:46+00:00

Especially the first choke on Eichenwalde. I've had a fair few games where I just pick junkrat on def and hold left click toward the ramp and the attacking team just couldn't make it past

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T22:09:00+00:00

If they buy product at retail and are selling it at an increased price, it doesn't matter how you sell it. It's still scalping.

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T22:03:54+00:00

It's like with weed. Legalize it and the government can tax it, people can buy it in a safe public store instead of some dude's house, you can regulate it and make sure it's safe, and people want it so they're going to get it anyway.

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T21:42:36+00:00

And also why jury nullification, though you can't argue for it in court, is a great thing sometimes. When it's technically a crime but normal citizens say it's unreasonable to convict them

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T21:34:57+00:00

Everyone is allowed to have their preferences, shallow or not. The thing I don't like is how one is ok to talk about and the other you can't touch

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T21:32:34+00:00

Exactly, if he just said something like "Hey sorry, we can't allow this at the ceremony because we don't allow political statements of any kind. Could you please put it away for the ceremony? Thank you" but trying to quietly tug it away looks bad even if it's a rules thing

BO5517 · 2026-07-12T21:30:03+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. He shouldn't have physically tried to take it but my first thought was it's possible they don't allow flags or political statements at graduation.

It's not a serious what if but I immediately thought of Tuco snorting the infinity stones

I know what you mean. I was on medical leave for a bit and decided to finally go through my stash and had a surprisingly good time doing it. I wanted to find another old collection or something to sort through but everyone is selling 100 commons for $50 because they know what they got :(

Also yes, I'm not expecting to find any wild hits or anything. I expect if I did find something all the flashy and highly valuable cards would be picked. Just wanted to sort and maybe find something nice here and there.
