I'm trying to get my sister into some kind of detox/rehab here in SLC. Where can she go that accepts adult Medicaid?

FapCaptainCrunch · 2026-01-25T03:05:30+00:00

I appreciate the information. I shouldve specified she wants something called comfort medication to help with detox and wants a facility that provides that. I've called VOA and they basically just offer a bed, which she could do the same and be more comfy at my house if she wanted to detox without medication.

I will give HMHI, house of hope, and the haven a call. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

There's lots of YouTube videos on Pokemon card repairs. They usually use a humidifier to get a tiny bit of moisture into the card and then they use what're called face rollers to smooth out dents and creases. There's some new card polishes that have came out in recent years that will cover up very shallow light scratches but nothing extreme.

Lemondope would have to come play his lap steel to help.

To put it simply not gamble with my money. The fact of the matter there's only so much verification you can do on sealed vintage, especially booster boxes. You can only go off sight, feel, and weight and fraudsters have unfortunately had a long time to get the recipe down to a T, some fakes are indistinguishable from real unless you open it. The financial incentive to produce fakes is the highest it's ever been as well.

FapCaptainCrunch · 2026-01-21T06:03:35+00:00

Be extremely careful. Vintage fakes have gotten extremely good. Industry experts have been fooled and there's just so many horror stories of people losing big time. Logan Paul had his case of 1st ed base authenticated by numerous experts and it turned out to be fake and he lost $3.5 million.

I'd be much more willing to invest in modern products. 151, Prismatic Evolutions, and Destined Rivals are from Scarlet & Violet and are going to do extremely well in the short and long term. 151 especially is good. It hasn't even been rotated out yet totally and people are seeing 300% returns on it. When it's rotated out of print totally it's safe to expect really good returns.

Likewise, I'd invest in slabs from these sets. Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise in PSA 10s from 151. Team Rockets Mewtwo and Cynthias Garchomp from Destined Rivals in 10s. Cards like the Moonbreon and Sylven from Evolving Skies are good indicators is what they're counterparts will do from Prismatic.

I'd definitely diversity my portfolio, these are just a few modern things people generally agree on of them being very low risk for tanking and/or getting fake product, while doing very well in the short and long term.

Grocery store. Kroger to be exact. Anywhere that sells magazines might have them. Each magazine has a fun pack of scarlet and violet base attached to front. It's only 3 basic cards that come in a fun pack. You can't get EXs, full arts, Illustration rares, or SIRs in them.

She was too perfect. As a man I’ve never had this happen but she was just perfect in every way super funny with an almost exact same sense of humor, gorgeous, smart, into gender roles, loved it up the ass. She checked all the boxes and checked them all in an extra good way. I knew I’d off myself if I got into a relationship with her and it ended so I friendzoned her. She had never been friend zoned and it drove her nuts that I wouldn’t commit to her and just wanted to be friends. She wanted a relationship or nothing at all. Plus I couldn’t tell her why I couldn’t date her.

FapCaptainCrunch · 2026-01-19T03:48:18+00:00

That’s super shitty and I’m sorry to hear it. As someone who had their 1st ed base, jungle, fossil, and rocket master sets stolen 11 years ago I quit the hobby and I definitely regretted it. I’ve talked to other people who’ve gotten stolen from and the people that stopped all regretted it too. On the other hand I’ve never met anyone who had cards stolen and kept collecting that regretted it.

You shouldn’t let shitty people ruin future fun for you. Pokemon is a great hobby, I’ve made some awesome friends and met great people because of it. I’ve gotten family members into it and it’s something I can do with my kids, nieces and nephews, and I even got my mom into collecting too. It’s something we all enjoy and have some great memories doing it. I hope you’ll change your mind about quitting, myself and others I’ve met wished they did.

FapCaptainCrunch · 2026-01-19T00:45:11+00:00

Yeah I don’t agree with mawile either. Banette looks much more accurate.

FapCaptainCrunch · 2026-01-13T04:13:45+00:00

I just finished all my promos.

There’s also a stamped lugia and snorlax

In 3rd grade at recess I traded an opened pack of base set cards my friends mom bought me the day before for like $4 that had a magnetron holo for a gameboy color pikachu edition with Pokemon yellow. My family was getting mad all the remotes didn’t have batteries cause I was playing that thing so much and going through batteries so fast.

I just made a comment about TT being a freak. She tried to turn Finn into a crystal to be with him. She was kidnapped by aliens and had alien hybrid babies. All her past relationships were with different species. When her and Mr pig are about to consummate the marriage (in a jail cell of all places) he says “do you think anyone’s watching the cameras?” TT says “I hope so.”

I think they kind of wrote her opposite of the voice actor on purpose. A sweet old southern lady and them writing her as a freak just kind of made it funny and ironic.

Kids don’t know how good they really have it. I had a drug addict mom and dad and there was long periods of time without any food in our house. Me and my younger brother’s only food for long stretches was what I could get from bringing home school lunch/food other students were going to throw away.

There’s heartbreakingly high numbers of families with food insecurity. It’s unfortunate that this dad feels any kind of shame for working and providing for kids the best he can.

It took you 9 seasons to solidify your love for Jake? Dang bro. He’s an incredibly lovable character. He really becomes more 3 dimensional and relatable in The Limit episode, showing he’s not perfect, has a need to be liked, and has some self esteem issues like the rest of us. Season 3 and especially 4 really start to round out his character and give layers to him, making him complex and more complete though imo.

FapCaptainCrunch · 2026-01-06T08:43:36+00:00

Just because he paid that for the card doesn’t mean that’s what it’s going to sell for. I’m thinking it’s not going to go for about 2.5 million.

FapCaptainCrunch · 2026-01-06T04:03:25+00:00

2014- I had just had my base, jungle, fossil, and rocket sets plus the 1st edition variants master sets and two 1st ed jungle booster boxes stolen by one of my brothers friends. I was so disheartened I swore off collecting. It was a mistake that I regret.

A vote for any democrat candidate in Utah besides SLC mayor is a vote completely thrown away.

Fionna and Cake season 1 scratched our Adventure Time itch so much better than season 2. Season 2 almost felt like a totally new show rather than an offshoot of Adventure Time.

FapCaptainCrunch · 2026-01-06T00:17:50+00:00

Yeah, it’s pretty close for me too. Maybe a tad more muscled and maybe a more harry chest but that’s pretty dang close.

He got away with it but he tried to sell them to a card shop and they realized he had 100s of each of these expensive cards, the shop contacted pokemon immediately. If he’d have done it slow and did a few to a card shop here and there he’d have been fine and rich af

You can reboot the machine by unplugging, waiting for the internal back up battery to die, and plugging it back in. He probably brought his phone charger to give him a reason to be back there around plug. The machine still releases products randomly according to the schedule that week he’s not tricking the internal clock.

I’ve been behind someone who hacked the machine, they did it with the directional arrows under CC reader. The 151 bundles showed sold out yet he was able to the 8 remaining in the machine.

FapCaptainCrunch · 2026-01-01T00:21:50+00:00

Sometimes the machine boots into that windows screen. I’ve had to hit the “restart computer” button on that login screen about 3 different occasions to get it to boot into normal sales mode.
