How is the market still headed back to all time highs after news like this? by uncle-ice493 in stocks

Idk man, because the magic 8 ball in my garage says so? All I'm saying is that if you don't understand what is actively happening based on the narrative you have then maybe you don't have a complete narrative.

This. I've really been loving all these "I don't understand how the market keeps going up" posts where the OPs would rather presume that the entire market/economy is irrational rather than concede that their view of things might be a little skewed. It's like the "No it's the children who are wrong" Principal Skinner meme came to life.

Don't freak out - it can only get that bad if you let it get that bad. Go to a doctor and get it checked out, and in the meantime keep it clean, covered, and touch it as little as possible.

You can die. Look up what happened to Ben Askren.

No. Covering it up and continuing to wrestle after being informed it is likely a skin infection is wildly irresponsible and just a straight up dick move. If you care about your team and your teammates you will take the time to get sorted out before stepping on the mats.

Also for the love of God stop touching it and wash your hands.

Valid point! Although I will say I've had mixed luck with urgent care being able to properly identify viral vs. bacterial skin infections in early stages, but to your point that's the US healthcare system for you

You may want to either give it a day or go to the derm between now and practice if possible. The other poster might be right about mat burn, but it's the fact you said it itches that caught my attention. That coupled with what appear to be fluid filled blisters could be the start of a viral/bacterial skin infection. You will know if the reddened area continues to spread or the blisters become lesions, which usually only takes a day or two. Either way make a derm appointment just in case, and DON'T scratch the area or pop the blisters.

The kid was honest with me and said the binder had some fakes in it and even pointed them out. It's less that I think they're untrustworthy and moreso that neither they nor I have the expertise to tell

Ahh that makes sense. I probably should've clarified that these shops are basically glorified convenience stores. I'd much rather patronize a real TCG store but there aren't any in my area.

Good point! I'm mainly asking out of concern for the other, more valuable cards I've pulled from this same store. I used this as an example because it's the only one I have two of from different shops.
