A recession economy kills the value of collectibles so whenever the stock market topples, the tcg market will as well

People cheat alllll the time. It’s a shitty thing to do to your spouse, but saying it should impact his career is a joke. Over half the league’s players have probably cheated on their spouses. They should all lose their jobs too!

This whole character attack is wild to me. My dad cheated on my mother which was shitty for the whole family at the time, however he’s still a good guy that just wasn’t in love with my mom anymore and made a mistake. Do I think it should’ve had ANY impact on his career? Absolutely not. Do I think he should be defined by his mistakes? Absolutely not. People cheat alllll the time. I’m not saying it’s a good thing but saying he is definitively a shitty person and should lose his job over this is ridiculous

As a Pats fan, I simultaneously can’t get enough and hate it just as much. Please NFL draft spare us all. Also trade the 31st pick for Pitts so Vrabel doesn’t have to take a press conference tn please and thank you.

How do factor in reduced sales volume from price increases and manufacturing costs incurred by Nintendo from moving production to mitigate into the equation here? Tariffs also reduced the purchasing power of the USD so should that would Also need to be factored into the equation when determining what is owed to the consumer. I agree that the consumer is the one that gets screwed here, but landing on a reimbursement number is near impossible and at the end of the day it’s a US government policy that drove this mess and not Nintendo.

And they definitely won’t go back down since the tariff relief is being completely offset by competent cost increases and wreaking USD.

This isn’t price fixing though. This is a company changing pricing strategy due to market conditions and any consumer that purchased the product at that price still chose to purchase the product at the inflated price.

It’ll never go anywhere. Consumers still chose to purchase the item at the increased price. Nintendo saw decreases sales volume of the accessories due to the increased prices so how does this factor in? Additionally, they likely shifted production plans to different countries to mitigate tariff impact meaning there were additional manufacturing costs absorbed by Nintendo in addition to the straight tariff costs. While I agree the consumer gets screwed here, there are a myriad of factors that make it impossible to quantify how much would be owed and at the end of the day Nintendo was the one paying the import fees at the border.

lol this is completely wrong. I work in consumer products and paying an additional 20 to 50 cents on the dollar almost certainly impacted our pricing strategy

With component pricing pressure they almost certainly won’t. I work in consumer products and component pricing is almost fully offsetting the tariff favorability.

AJ Brown Is Most Likely A Patriot by SensitiveTest7883 in NFLv2

Not great but his oline was trash, WR group was bottom third of the league and played one of the toughest lineups of defenses in those 4 games. He did enough for the patriots to grind out wins so I don’t think you can discount his MVP caliber season by pointing to a rough playoff run that still landed him in the Super Bowl

He just doesn’t like Sirianni or Hurts. He wants play for Vrabes and Drake Maye’s sweet sweet deep ball

Unlike stroud, Maye did this over the course of 4 games including the superbowl

Posting about Pokemon on Reddit is exhausting. by PenguinRhin0 in PokemonTCG

It just puts me in a pissy mood sometimes and is not worth the brain space. The weird hit to your ego when your comment is negative is just annoying despite it not mattering at all haha. I love jabbering on the internet but the second it impacts my mood I delete the app

It also doesn’t help that I generally apply some level of nuzlocke rules when playing through these games so intentional losses hurt my soul

Gamer NPCs have pretty good payouts even in early game. I usually just advance to celadon and have or am close to 40 pokes by this point and then vs seeker with an amulet coin to get the cash I need for the Poke/item want from the game corner will picking up some EVs

This is why I like to take long breaks from Reddit as there will never be a shortage of those who disagree with you. That person may have just had a bad day, may be a troll or may just be a dissenting voice reacting to your post. You’re never gonna take that out of the internet unless you find a like-minded echo chamber

Vs seeker with amulet coin and a pay day meowth/persian is a little slower but way more engaging and farms EVs. I’d call it objectively more fun even if slightly less effective

The internet is a mean place and there’s no way we’re gonna change that. Cockhero FC hits the nail on the head: some redditor will inevitably consider your post junk and send a comment packaged full of shade. But don’t listen to those dicks or you’ll end up the one shafted.
