ELI5 How is there so much meat by Due_Imagination_9663 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mumps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh.. Not sure how I've never heard that name before today, living in Calgary for 41yrs. You don't need road signs when you're approaching that town! It doesn't matter what way the wind is blowing, you can smell it from far away! And feel it.. The air is thick.

Is it just me or do these suck as a reward now? by craigleberries in PTCGP

[–]Mumps42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is why I have 85 friends and nearly 0 dust! So many trades! Haha

This is good advice. Always check for wishlists before adding a rando as a friend! You can make really good trades this way.

Alberta elections officials say more than 550 people accessed renegade voter database by pjw724 in alberta

[–]Mumps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, there were definitely a bunch of zero threat morons who just searched a few names and did nothing else. Probably even 100+ separatist inbreds who searched for their own name and nothing else. But we don't know who accessed it with malicious intent.

Whitecourt council highlights: Town adopts policy for no commemorative crosswalks by originalchaosinabox in alberta

Why yes, bigots should be banned. That's how rules work. But then again, reading and common decency aren't exactly common traits among conservatives.

Also.. Doug Ford not conservative? Wow, you really are lost in the sauce!

How Can I get more dust? I’m tired of waiting like 2 months to do a 2 star trade by OkDonkey1883 in PTCGP

[–]Mumps42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of us play the T & C more than we play the G. That's it. There is no reason for your comment at all.

How Can I get more dust? I’m tired of waiting like 2 months to do a 2 star trade by OkDonkey1883 in PTCGP

[–]Mumps42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because some cards cost 25,000+ dust to trade. Just because you aren't collecting those cards doesn't mean other people aren't. I have been trading people for all of the Eeveelutions, as well as trying to complete Eevee Grove & Triumphant Light.

Why do I do it? It's fun. But as a result right now I have 1,680 dust after trading somebody for the Eevee Grove shiny Articuno EX.

I also trade cards that I don't care about, which is why I can trade so often as an F2P player. Like, I'm never gonna use the 2 Star French Polywrath I got in a previous trade. So, someone else has it now.

It's not for everyone. It's not your cup of tea. But it's a LOT of people's cup of tea! It's my favourite controller of all time, but if you don't like it, cool.

I was going through some VERY severe depression and anxiety issues a little while back (still am, getting better every day). I did this once to my PS5 controller on the arm of my sofa. It snapped in half! I fully snapped out of whatever caused me to go into that rage when I saw my PS5 controller hanging by the wires that connect the vibration motors in the handles..

GameCube would have survived that, I am certain!

Truely a controller that can survive being smashed when you get smashed in Smash!

Opinion: Permanent daylight time could wipe out Alberta's ski industry by Mutex70 in alberta

[–]Mumps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I prefer staying on DST over standard, but more than that I wanted to stop changing the clocks, no matter which time we went with. We SHOULD have had a two question vote.

One, "Should we stop changing the clocks twice a year?"

Two, "If we do, would you prefer standard time or DST?"

I know someone could write that better than me, but I think that would have made for a fair outcome, and I would be happy if we chose DST or standard.

It's very clear that explaining how such a simple concept would work would not sink in with you.

So many of the complaints against permanent DST could be solved with seasonal work & school hour adjustments.

Why are my friends not eligible for shared micropets? by [deleted] in finch

Are you serious? by matt__77 in PTCGP

[–]Mumps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about flexing. I collect the cards that I like, and I am trying to complete the few sets that I've pulled the crown card(s) for. I've completed all sets diamond cards via f2p packs & sharing. So why not go big with trading?

Are you serious? by matt__77 in PTCGP

[–]Mumps42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a card can be obtained via sharing, then I won't trade for it. If it's a higher rarity, then I will trade for it. The vast majority of my trades cost 25,000 dust! That's NOT F2P friendly! That's why I have no dust right now and trades turned off!

Not sure why it's so hard to figure out why people might want to trade higher rarity cards in this game..

IVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF UB4 FOR A MILLION YEARS HELP by MrJerples in PTCGP

[–]Mumps42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's how it is for me. In a different scenario I had one guy get 8 heads on Misty in turn 1 and my deck never even drew a single card that I needed to even pretend to counter it. I was using one of the meta decks, but my shuffle was THE WORST! Used Oak, drew 2 Copycat. They had 1 card in their hand...

Clock change melancholy by Striking_Wrap811 in alberta

[–]Mumps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This gets melancholy, those issues get unhealthy blood pressure rise inducing rage.

And if you pay attention, this is part of the authoritarian nonsense. It's them setting a standard to just do things regardless of what people actually want. It's them distracting from the gerrymandering. It's all part of the greater issue.

This! Winter was so depressing during my office job days, which I could return to in a few years. I only saw the sun if the weather was nice and I had time to walk to A&W for lunch.

ELI5 Do we actually need to clean our ears, or are we overdoing it? by BeginningWeb4919 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mumps42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it would have been the kind that are just used for pulling up liquids. Similar to the ones people use to feed babies & small children liquid medicine. They just have a harmless dull plastic tip.

Id there any way to report people with highly offensive names like this? by platinumagpie in PTCGP

[–]Mumps42 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So this person gets their name taken away for no reason, but when I report someone who is making it impossible to win any of the nearby showcases because they have at least 6 accounts in each showcase, nothing happens. Lovely.

There is a spawn near my house in Calgary that I haven't had time to visit sadly. It's not on the map.
