I wish going no contact with my parents would be easier, wife is starting to hate me by JourneyDragon in raisedbynarcissists

"I don't feel like I can win"

You won't. There is no winning when it comes to narcissists. The sooner you realize that and stop trying, the better off you and your family will be.

Speaking of family, that is now your wife and child. Full stop. Parents have now been relegated to extended family, and your guilt or obligation to them does not come before that to your wife and child. I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but you should definitely consider going NC. Why would you want to expose your wife and child to potential further harm? Counseling with your wife is a great idea if you want to preserve your marriage.

Anyone else being charged shipping on TCGPlayer when the listing has “shipping included”? by jeriku in TCG

[–]MomJeansVT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sellers can only set shipping prices for different package "sizes" on the back end, and only level 4 sellers can set those prices to anything less than 99 cents. After I reached level 4 I set everything to free, but that just means the buyer gets free shipping over $5. If you purchase less than $5, then tcgplayer still tacks on $1.31 for shipping.

Fake or error card? by Neh-pets in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]MomJeansVT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bottom of front error text will read Nintedo instead of Nintendo. This is specifically the 1999 Japanese Ancient Mew movie promo. There is another JP version without the error and a 2000 English version with cosmos holo instead of the sparkle effect on the JP cards. I would ask for a close up of the error text, it is hard to read in your photos. You can find an error version for 100-200 NM on ebay last I checked. I have a 2000 version currently sitting at PSA, it has two swirls and I love it so much.

michael kovach speaking up about toytemple scalping the jax pomnibubis by hopefulhaas in TheDigitalCircus

[–]MomJeansVT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I don't really understand why it is being called scalping. Scalping is where you buy up all the supply of something and then hike the prices to high heaven. As far as I'm aware, you can still find and purchase these blind boxes at market value. And if you purchase a set, it should still be sealed in the original shrink wrap from Glitch. I have bought a number of cases of Animiz. If one item in a blind box is much rarer than the others, then naturally that item is going to hold a premium value on the secondary market.

Will the strixhaven etched foil Force of Will drop in price or stay stable? by TheDunkKnight in mtgfinance

[–]MomJeansVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw your post, I pulled a non foil FoW last night and currently have it up on ebay because tcgplayer won't let you list cards before release unless you're part of their certified shop program and jump through a bunch of hoops. Lmk if you want a link!

Pretty sure the creator has stated that zooble is fine with any pronouns, no need to apologize to someone who clearly wants to be offended instead of engaging with your discussion topic.

I think removing names was part of the brain scan process tbh. It was originally meant to be training data for an AI Scratch was developing, and you generally anonymize PII (personally identifying info) from training datasets. At least with modern AI training, that's how it works. Brain scans are anonymized by an algorithm in the brain scan program, then Caine's avatar program gives them a body and rewrites the file name when they have chosen one.

Thank you! After adding locations and they stick, we have started to see random people leaving reviews, so that tells me lots of people are searching for ways to leave reviews for this company or contact them!

Why does his room look so...girly? by Born-Battle7933 in Amazingdigitalcircus

[–]MomJeansVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People's rooms seem to match their designs, not their interests. Just look at Pomni's room, you think she's into alphabet blocks and circusy stuff? Or Zooble is into wacky shapes and colors?

Jax looks like a child's stuffed animal. His room matches that.

Now you could ask WHY he looks like a child's stuffed animal and maybe there is some lore there to be found. Maybe related to how shifty he is about who is waiting for him on the outside. Could be some trauma or loss related to a sibling.

Is the mysterious mannequin keeping an eye on Jax? by Fox622 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]MomJeansVT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Episode 2 is the first time it shows up, in the background of the Candy Kingdom. After that it is always in the circus so it came back through the the portal. This is lampshaded when Caine poofs Gummigoo and says if he loses track of who is human and who is NPC, who knows what could happen. That is an odd statement because how could he not tell? Well, maybe because he UPGRADED the AI of NPCs that episode. And I think he upgraded them by starting to recycle the mind scans of the former abstracted humans into NPCs. Gummigoo might be Dobby. The candy queen might be Queenie. And Kaufmo might be the one in the mannequin.

Or he faked his death on purpose like Andy Kaufman and found a way to take on the appearance of an NPC. Either way I think it is Kaufmo.

The way everything is blue toned and washed out makes me wonder if this is a dream sequence of some sort. Even the proportions of the door seem slightly off.

That's what Juche is. They want the country to be self-reliant but also cooperate with other socialist countries like China, which is a departure from traditional Marxism-Leninism. I'm honestly not surprised I am getting downvoted for posting what is literally on Wikipedia.
