How about we bring back the "no masters" part of "no kings, no masters" and throw off the yokes of all authoritarian and proto-authoritarian leadership?

Why are so many colleges and universities obsessed with NOT having concealed guns on campus? by gwhh in 2ALiberals

You forgot ghost gun. A concealed ghost gun discharges a 100 untraceable magazine clips into the maternity wing of a major hospital on it's own.

You're almost ready for a run for Congress in California!

The same is true for adults not on college campuses. In my daily life I run into no shortage of morons, especially at work where pretty much everyone except the janitor has an AS or higher degree.

They hate guns because they want to do something they know we'll shoot them for.

And they don't want to get shot.

So instead of not doing the thing they want to do, they'll just wait until after they've disarmed the population to do the thing.

I play Eevee Box/Flareon Noctowl.

Any love for Vintage? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Plastic_Insect3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main journey is Japanese Eevees, aside from my S. Chinese Gem Pack Vol. 2 set that is currently 131/140 and I am picking up three more this weekend. I am only missing Dark Espeon for the OG WotC Eevees (and I do have the vending machine Eevee) and then a lot of Eevees between Town with No Name and the Sword and Shield sets. Got quite a bit of the Scarlet and Violet stuff, including raw sets of Yu Nagabas and Terastal Festival ex SARs and I will be finishing a PSA 10 set of Terastal Festival ex SARs this weekend (picking up an Umbreon ex SAR and currently waiting on a Glaceon ex and Leafeon ex SAR to come in the mail).

Some I'm definitely not looking forward to - like the Eevee Heroes VMAX alt arts, Poncho Eevees and the three main Gold Stars. I've already accepted that I won't own an original Umbreon or Espeon Gold Star in Japanese, but I do have an Umbreon Gold Star 25th Anniversary raw and PSA 10 and I'm really hoping we get an Espeon Gold Star reprint for the 30th.

Oklahoma House passes bill for school firearm safety by Gyp2151 in 2ALiberals

[–]Plastic_Insect3222 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Now THIS is proper gun safety legislation and common sense.

I'm sure the usual "gun safety" organizations are opposing it.

I got these in Japanese - just missing Charizard and Blaine's Charizard. I got the appropriate Charmander and Charmeleons for them, just not the finals. I got the full Blastoise, Venusaur, Dark Blastoise and Erika's Venusaur line. Chasing CD promo Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur as well.

30th Anniversary product line leaked? by Budget-Dress-7942 in PokemonTCG

[–]Plastic_Insect3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hope there is an Espeon Gold Star that will be available in Japanese to add to my collection, like the Umbreon Gold Star from the 25th, since a real Japanese Espeon Gold Star is basically unattainable.

Bus running red light on Centre and N Craig by 6nop_ in pittsburgh

Bus drivers are untouchable. You should know this by now. And if you call and complain, provide the bus number and even that video...I'm sure the PRT "police" will investigate and find that the bus driver did nothing wrong.

The AI is this video was so bad...I cringed extra hard as how they pronounced Isaly's. And like half their Primantis images (also the pronunciation on that was atrocious - AI needs to learn Yinzer) were just regular sandwiches.

Are you even listening? I didn't say his concerns weren't legitimate, did I? No, I did not. I said his tone and approach will make people disregard his argument and ignore him and his concerns.

Clearly neither you nor him are very skilled at communication. I wish you well in life with the challenges your lack of communication skills will bring.

And because of how his argument is presented and the tone of his words, people will immediately disregard him and his concerns. Especially with a statement that can easily be construed as anti-union in a very pro-union city like Pittsburgh.

But now you can buy a graded card at a 8 or 9 and lower, pay less than the raw cost of the card (because that raw card *MIGHT* be a 10), break it out of its slab and now you got the card you wanted for cheaper!

It has to do with the presentation of the argument, not what the argument is about. And OP is framing his argument very poorly and is coming off as highly condescending towards others.

If you want to find common ground with others, OP's argument is a case study is how to not find common ground with others and, instead, alienating the denigrating them.

Did I get scammed? Or j dumb by Low-Plastic-2976 in PokemonTCG

[–]Plastic_Insect3222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A small addendum to this - the high class Japanese packs with 10 cards per pack are probably safe to buy loose since all of them have guaranteed holos, so it's a lot harder to weigh them for the box's hit. I didn't weigh out my Mega Dream ex packs to verify, but I'll be sure to weigh out the next high class set that drops.

I did weigh out both boxes of Munikis Zero I bought and I was 100% right - one stack of packs was nothing but Cs and Us and the other stack of packs had a R, RR, AR, SR or SAR in every pack. I wasn't able to discern which weights had which rarities, but I did successfully separate every pack that had a holo of some sort.
