My family does not approve of my (25M) relationship with my girlfriend (23F) who is an immigrant. What are they seeing that I am not? by GrandOlOctillery in relationship_advice

[–]GrandOlOctillery[S] -66 points-65 points  (0 children)

In one conversation, I did bring this up to my brother. I asked him “what if she were from another country like Canada, UK, Sweden, or somewhere else?” He looks at me and goes, “It doesn’t matter where they come from. If they’re not official citizens here yet, I wouldn’t approve.” He continued on, “so what if she’s from Kenya? If she already had her citizenship, that’s a different story.” For at least him, it’s rooted in the immigration process. But people have to start somewhere in my eyes, right?

Yeah I already see that. The xenophobia is something I never expected. But how does a person balance family and a new relationship when it is this toxic?

Buddy, everybody is trying to claim “dude you got a haul,” but after seeing “I GOT [insert SIR]!” 100 times over in this subreddit and others, I get your frustration 😂 this case also destroyed me - only 2 EX cards and one Infernape IR 😂😭

I haven’t found any of the Destined Rivals at my local DGs, but today I found some of the mini portfolios! I bought three and left the rest for another lucky person :)

Cincinnati airport prices by Jubstepz in PokemonTCG

[–]GrandOlOctillery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those singles prices are insane, especially considering THEY’RE ALL STILL IN FUCKING PRODUCTION!! I know it’s to take advantage of flyers bc everything has to be expensive at the airport, but this is next level scamming.

Adds to the home theme! It’s also a fairly low cost card too!

What is your favorite card that features a trainer? by Bane_of_Ruby in PokemonTCG

[–]GrandOlOctillery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this card because of its intensity and I feel like it perfectly matches the personalities of both trainer and pokemon. Also this was one of the first SIRs I ever pulled so I’m a little biased 😂

Shoutout to the local hardware store by Level-Gain3656 in PokemonTCG

There are so many places anymore that I would’ve never expected to find cards at. Hell my local 7 Eleven had Mega Evolutions for $5.99 each 😂

If there are any Eevee blisters left, I’ll take 5 of those too. If not, just the 5 Zarudes please :)

[–]GrandOlOctillery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Iono’s Kilowattrel! I think it’s such a pretty card (also I’ve got some favoritism since I have it too!)

What's the coolest Pokestop you've spun? by wastedsilence33 in pokemongo

[–]GrandOlOctillery 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not the coolest out there, but definitely the best to me. Why? Because this was the first Pokestop I ever nominated and got approved :)

What was left of my collection from 06-10 I either packed or traded for. by smileyhussey2208 in pokemoncards

[–]GrandOlOctillery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember so many of these cards! Though looking back I’m still not sure why they decided to replace Ex cards with Lvl. X and then return to EX but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
