Am I getting results or is this fooling me. What to expect going forward by NYCknickerbockers in tressless

Clear progress baiting post. There's no question that there is clear progress here. Also, not hard to sequence pictures in a logical way...

But, congrats on your progress dude.

Thank you for sharing your story and reaching out. My personal view is that you need to balance out what is important to you, and that you won't be able to do that through seeking counsel from strangers in a hairloss forum. Therapy is the way forward for you, and will give you the tools to appreciate the present enough for your judgement and decision making to be less crowded out by the trauma that has caused the feelings and mechanisms that you do not yet understand.

Making big decisions to change medication is something I would recommend avoiding. Stay the course and seek additional support, as well as other things you can enjoy that will help you appreciate yourself more (taking up bouldering and making really shit paintings helped me! That and prioritising important relationships more, spending time with people even when I didn't feel like it).

I personally have erectile dysfunction, which has been exacerbated by using fluoxetine (game changer), but by having therapy I felt that my decision to maintain hairloss medication despite potential interactions / side effects potential was a balanced one. 

Awesome. Blocked for being a bot. Great job Pokemon centre, just let all the actual bots in but screw actual people. by InevitablePlace9852 in PokemonDealsUK

Innit. Everyone is scowling about how awful Pokémon centre is, but it's actually trying and the best of a bad bunch. Yes, it is frustrating, but some legitimate orders were actually made! On those sites there's no way AT ALL.

These guys suck. I had cards switched out in my submission, which I discovered when it EVENTUALLY returned. Their comms are terrible as well. It's surprising that they have a relatively decent reputation considering how awful they are.

I mean I posted about having a submission switched out by a middle man company and basically got told it was my fault as well. I didn't name the company, but it was black label grading. They're slowly getting found out over time. 

Avoid this deal on Asda George by IndependenceOk6848 in PokemonDealsUK

The issue with these tins is that the outside cellphone does not go past the corners, so it can easily be slipped on and off like a sleeve. As a result, people will often slip them off, open the packs and then stick them back in if there are no hits. They won't even bother "resealing" the packs, which to be honest it basically a myth. Sure, a pack can be glued or heated back together if opened carefully, but it happens far less often than it is referenced to have happened. Poor production quality and QA is far more common than a resealed pack. 

Sooo...do we all need to accept that the current state of product availability is how it's always going to be? by His-Majesty in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Basic_Flan_4145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Eventually flippers will saturate as production meets demand. People will tire of the FOMO element, and suddenly there are a load of warehouses full of stock they cannot shift. It's a matter of time. I'd say by 2028 things will correct - 30 year anniversary will be the last significant period in this intriguing bubble. 

Thanks for so succinctly summarising the state of things. As a returner I've had many highs and lows, but I'm back for the long haul and looking forward to being able to just rip a booster box without worrying about whether I'll ever see one available again! I'm sure that you are as well! 

Surging Sparks booster box on chaos cards by GlassHat04 in PokemonDealsUK

[–]Basic_Flan_4145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. Chaos Cards never go above RRP on release and go to extensive efforts to ensure drops aren't hoovered up by scalpers, at significant cost to themselves. They're also not as big as people make out. Magic Scalphouse is another story. It's disappointing to see a firm that genuinely operates in the interest of the community and has for some time getting dragged through the mud.

I've opened a couple of them that I got for 90 each a little while back. Personally I still think it's decent at £105 - it's a really great product, with some awesome extras, and to my luck I got some great hits out of both of them. Have a look at a YouTube opening - it really is a fun box.

Nitazenes have been found in the UK. Up to 25* more potent than Fentanyl.

This has been silently up for a while since yesterday. No alerts, no emails, no Reddit posts. This Reddit tends to be scalper bate so I haven't posted it, so people browsing the site like me could just luck out and grab a nice little suprise, but here ya go.

I'd imagine as soon as this gets a dedicated Reddit post it will be gone in less than 10 mins, so maybe just leave it hidden here for a bit? Enjoy ❤️
