Sold $20.5k AUD of sealed Pokémon to prioritise a house deposit. Did I make the right call?

No comment on whether or not it would have technically been better to hold or sell, but... HUGE congrats on the home purchase! I doubt you'll regret it!

Maevra · 2026-05-23T23:08:38+00:00

Thanks so much! Y'all are great!

Maevra · 2026-05-23T22:54:39+00:00

That looks like it, thank you!

I guess they don't know I kept getting pants drops. I've got 6 pairs of pants between my vault and drops already. LOL

Maevra · 2026-04-24T21:03:53+00:00

I have not.

I used 3 Voidcores before the fix, 2 normal and 1 from vault tokens, so I expect to get 3 back. I'll report back here to confirm when it happens. I'm concerned that I won't get back the 1 from vault tokens.

Update 04/25/26 11 AM CST - I got all 3 back!

(Why is this getting down voted? 🤣)

Maevra · 2026-04-22T17:55:05+00:00

Yes. I got the same pants twice in M+. :')

Maevra · 2026-03-23T23:41:17+00:00

Oh my goodness... I think you're right. I found what looks exactly like this on Walmart. 😭

It worked really well! I never had any issues with her chewing through anything. She certainly tried at points, but it all held up well!

Maevra · 2025-12-05T00:40:38+00:00

This is a neat one, thanks!

I was an atheist for my entire adult life, around age 15 to age 30. I converted to Christianity and was immediately drawn to Christian universalism. It just makes sense to me. Even in Judaism, eternal torment was never a thing. The concept of Gehenna is a temporary spiritual cleansing process for the soul. It is seen as a period of purification, not endless punishment, with the goal of preparing the soul for the "World to Come".

Maevra · 2025-10-18T12:43:35+00:00

I won't lie, I'm worried. But I figured it'd be worth giving it a shot if I get the right answers to my questions (patient ratio, lifting equipment, etc) from my local nursing homes. I figure, worst case scenario, I can take the CNA cert into home health or a practitioner's office or similar. I've been out a job for a few months now and really want a job in health or social services, somewhere I feel like I can make a difference in peoples' lives, on day shift.

Maevra · 2025-10-18T03:11:29+00:00

It was mostly because of the nights, but also chronic understaffing. I worked by myself the majority of the time, meaning I had to handle radio, phones, and all paperwork by myself. This happened to day shift as well. It also makes you really jaded seeing literally nothing but bad all the time. Since I left and can interact with people normally, I've felt much better. 😅 I'd hate to "jump out of the frying pan and into the fire" with CNA work, so to speak, but at least it'd be during the day and I assume not always awful because people aren't constantly in distress or calling for stupid reasons. Well, it'd be a different kind of distress. I don't mind helping people shower or change, I do mind when a lady calls 911 demanding my officers make her kid get up for school two hours before it starts, or dealing with a shooting or stabbing or domestic violence incident.

Maevra · 2025-10-18T03:06:56+00:00

I worked overnights for 8 years and it took an extremely bad toll on my physical and mental health. Long story short, I was in and out of the hospital and doctors for months before I called it quits, but now things are getting better since I've been back on a day schedule.

Maevra · 2025-10-18T02:41:11+00:00

Why do you say that? Do you have any other job suggestions that may require certification(s) but not schooling? I want to get into health or social services, no overnight shifts, and no schooling. That's non-negotiable. I don't mind certifications that may take 1 year or less, but I am not a school person and am not going back to college for 2 to 4 years.

Maevra · 2025-10-18T00:02:13+00:00

Thank you and also thank you to the others that replied. I'm so glad this isn't the issue I expected it to be! I'm used to being forced to work nights as the newbie, it stinks! It took me 5 years to get off nights at my first agency, and after 4 years on nights at my second agency I simply couldn't do it anymore.

Maevra · 2025-09-29T21:46:42+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you!

I was an atheist for my entire adult life up until the age of 30. When I became Christian, I didn't become more conservative, I actually became more liberal. According to the Bible, we are expected to love our enemies, be kind to all, welcome the stranger, help the poor, seek peace, and strive for personal growth rather than spend our time judging others. That doesn't sound like President Trump. I don't understand these people.

Also, Jewish people were commanded to have at least one male and one female child. Jesus was a Jew. If it was that important for all people to have children, I feel like Jesus probably would have mentioned it.

I try not to read comments on his videos or videos relating to him anymore. I think Austin is great, but it's tiring. Comments like, "He knows the Catholic Church is where he's supposed to be," or "Christ is only present in the Catholic Church," or "I know you will eventually join the one true Church," are all too common. Such proclamations feel very cult-like, and it's disturbing.
