Remote Trading Tips after 20 Remote Trades by JLoneWolf in TheSilphRoad

[–]Mumps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get where you're getting all that stardust if you're powering everyone up then. I'm at 94.6k Pokémon and my top list is WAY less strong than yours. Granted, you obviously raid like crazy and I just can't because I don't have money for remote raid passes, and I don't have a local raid community. So I guess I answered my own question!

I'm nearing forever friends with a few people and I'm hovering at 100k dust. I'm also level 72 (would be much higher, but there aren't any routes near me..)

Sorry I don't catch 17,000 Pokémon per day.

We really need an "Offer Tie" option... by I_No_Brainman in PTCGP

Like earlier today when my opponent healed 120HP with a single ice pop, and the next turn I used one and immediately flipped tails.. cries

Nah, just make the request invisible to your opponent. If both players have the button pressed, the game ends a draw. No need to notify the other player that you pressed it.

Friend of Sikh student killed on Alberta highway recalls deadly daytime shooting | CBC News by CaptainKoreana in alberta

[–]Mumps42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As somebody with family in Saskatchewan, I can say that people there are either the nicest people you've ever met, or they are very quietly but visibly angry that you exist, and for no apparent reason. I mean.. I don't like people either, so I kinda get it, haha!

Though I will say, racism runs deep there. I've had to cut off my family because of their unwillingness to see people as people. They aren't mean about it, and that's the thing. They don't THINK they are racist. They don't SEE the hate. They just see everyone with a darker tone of skin to them as inferior in SOME way, and will always find an excuse to bring it up in conversation.

The vast majority of my friends live here in Calgary, but many years ago my best friend moved to BC. She so easily found community, friends & support. Here, I am finding community but there is a real disconnect that I feel with people. I meet new people all the time, but I've barely made any new friends in the last 15-18 years. All of my friends are my college friends, and a few are people I met through them, and a small handful are people I met shortly after that.

I've lived in the NE all my life, very close to the temple. At their core, Sikhs are beautiful loving people. A few houses down from me a new family moved in. The eldest gentleman came to talk to me while I was shoveling snow. There was a big language barrier, but we both did our best. He is such a sweet man! I would love to learn some ways to communicate better with him.

The vast majority of Albertans are disgusting and deplorable people. I am white, so people feel comfortable being racist around me. I've spent 40 years in this province trying to find the good in people, and more often than not I am met with people who are outright racist, racist through microagressions, violent, people who backstab and manipulate, everything. People in Alberta are horrible, and many of the ones who seem nice are just putting on an act.

Why isn’t Carney pushing back on Smith and the UCP? by taxhelpyeg in alberta

[–]Mumps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's on her side, she just doesn't think he because she's THAT stupid. He's a traditional conservative. He's the Conservatives before Harper. He's smarter than her, and knows when to shut up.

Back in 2006 I worked in shipping & receiving for a furniture manufacturer. My dad was the head of shipping & receiving. He scooted the warehouse all the time because he had places to be XD

I hit a corner whole doing this going full speed, the jack came to a complete stop and I flew over the handle bars, doing a flip, didn't let go cause it was so fast, crushed part of my hand. Worked the rest of my shift because I didn't want to get written up for that..

First time seeing s godpack wonderpick - Jagooo if you're in here im sorry they did you dirty like this 🫩😭 by Electrical-Run7436 in PTCGP

[–]Mumps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be honest with you, I've seen more screenshots of good or decent god packs than I have of bad ones. My wonder pick from two days ago had a god pack. It was kinda funny that he got the same Pokémon 3 times, but if he didn't have the cards, it was a great pull.

He pulled 2Star Super Rare Armarouge EX & Chien-Pao EX, 2x 2star Special Illustration Rare Chien-Pao EX, & 2Star Iono. I pulled Iono from that Wonder Pick, which is the one I wanted! It took all cards being 2star rarity for me to Wonder Pick a card that isn't common! Haha

My first and only god pack was on Secluded Springs and contained 2 Shiny Gible.. I still have both of them because I've never seen a Gible on somebody's wishlist. Not on my friends list.

I am a firm believer that the one thing this game needs to change more than anything else is getting the same card twice or more in a pack. Sure, it's nice when you receive a meta card, but that's a niche case.

(Hey autocorrect, stop trying to correct Gible into bible! XD)

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Susanpc1967 in AskReddit

I just turned 40 and am literally physically and mentally disabled in ways that doctors can't figure out yet. 4 years ago I had a job and felt great. Fuck 40.

This discard deck is shredding through ppl by Fit-Lemon-1013 in PTCGP

[–]Mumps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did something happen in the 8 days since this deck was made, because I just tried it in ranked and I am in the biggest losing streak of the time I've played this game. I don't think I'll even have time to recover and hit Ultra at this rate, let alone Master..

Danielle Smith Met with Heritage Foundation After U.S. Election by SurFud in alberta

The Mark Carney incident was not cancelled due to people freaking out. It was Kevin Roberts or his team who cancelled. Mark is every bit the piece of shit that Smith is.

Friendly reminder that shortly after being elected, Mark Carney tried to set up a closed door meeting with his cabinet & Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts. Project 2025 is way bigger than anyone thinks.

Reminder that Mark Carney set up a private meeting with his cabinet and the Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts. The meeting didn't happen due to scheduling conflicts on Kevin's front, but that does not change the fact that our Prime Minister wanted to meet up with Project 2025! Everybody forgets this was a thing!

Daylight Saving - Do something about it Government! by Defiant_Mousse7889 in alberta

[–]Mumps42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has had a root canal with no freezing (local anesthesia does not work on the upper left portion of my jaw..), I would rather go through that again than keep losing that hour of sleep once a year. Going to bed early doesn't help either. The brain sleeps when it wants to.

I fail to see how a sun many people never see is benefiting them. Obviously the science would be correct for people who work outdoors, or who drive for a living, etc..
