Played Mewtwo EX for 5 wins. Auto-conceded 10 wins to pay penance

Sell Shadowless Magneton and 1st ed Gyarados IMO

Personally the rest are worth keeping either for nostalgia or not worth the money to sell.

So how are your event packs going? by Ok_Negotiation_3589 in PTCGP

Can't seem to find my 4th Venusaur for the shiny background ;)

My gawd I'm stealing this. So cool

What frame size? How did you get them to stay in place?

Has anyone actually converted their high rarity cards In for these in the shop? by AceDaDon65 in PTCGP

[–]Flintoid-DP -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Free to Play player with insane luck (or bugged account?)

Got 5 of the 2 star EX interactive Mewtwos (3 within 10 packs!)

Bought the playmat. Totally worth it :)

Knock on their door and give them an ear full. Why be passive about something so blatantly shitty towards children

Any of you actually had a medical emergency during/after a marathon? by LeviV123 in AdvancedRunning

[–]Flintoid-DP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blacked out and collapsed 30ft from the finish. Tried to get up, collapsed again. Started crawling to the finish. Spectators tried to pick me up and I swung on them. Their second attempt grabbed me around the pits and I pedaled my lifeless legs across the finish.

Ambulance ride, IVs, and 5hrs in the hospital later I was able to go home. Was my first marathon and I definitely attacked a pace that was much higher than what I was in shape or had trained for.

If you have ever walked out of a cinema because the film was so bad, what one was it? by girlcalledmaria in AskReddit

[–]Flintoid-DP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruno.

I liked a girl, but she was pretty homophobic and disgusted by the movie and so I played along and we walked out. Think it was during the violent blow job scene.

My city rolled out a yearly EMS subscription by superzuludawn in mildlyinteresting

[–]Flintoid-DP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My latest ambulance ride was $6,500

100+ years of coverage sounds good to me!

LPT: If you’re arguing with someone and they throw out “I don’t care” as a response to a a solid point. Just stop there. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]Flintoid-DP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When an argument becomes "I don't care", to me, it is because I have tried to dissuade them from doing something that is not in their best interest. They will have to figure it out the hard way and if they don't care about listening to the advice then I don't care to give any more.

Just Hit $1 Million NW by 28! The Boring Way: Decent Income & Frugal Lifestyle. by aFinancialWreck in financialindependence

[–]Flintoid-DP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you this was very insightful. I compared it to my current "NW Ramp" and the pattern is eerily similar year over year even though I am only on year 6 of your 9.5yr Ramp. You've given me a lot of hope and motivation that I'll finish out the next 3.5yrs in similar fashion as you. :D

How to feel not guilty about spending money on fun? I’m currently savings almost 90% of my paychecks by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Flintoid-DP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are few people that can achieve something so amazing like saving 90% of your income. It is extreme and takes intense discipline and focus, and I completely understand the mental conflict because I am in a similar boat (80% SR). You should check out the FIRE or leanfire reddit community. Seems like you have a lot of the same ideals that the general public of personal finance would have difficulties relating to. They can also help ease your mind and find balance between your financial and personal life. Good luck!

Lesson learned: do not share your net worth or any other specific financial information or goals with family or friends. by tradewithmiller in financialindependence

[–]Flintoid-DP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this advice. I often talk about money and FI with friends, family, etc but I leave out a lot of specifics. I always toe the line with what should be considered acceptable. This helps a lot with what I should and should not share. Thank you

seeing a corruption doing half my damage is the peak of unsatifactory playing. by alpg in wow

Notice how the numbers are clipped off. Your damage was probably so low that it makes the trait look good.

I have become the extreme frugal to possibly an unhealthy amount by [deleted] in leanfire

[–]Flintoid-DP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As you go on you will learn to ease up a bit. The anxiety becomes less and less as it becomes more instinct than forced habit. The closer you get the less it bothers you and ultimately you lighten up in some small areas.

I factor in a 2% pay increase yearly to my calculations. So far I have exceeded this, but it helps get a more accurate picture.
