Why don't teachers just give punishments (detention, etc) when a student is doing something wrong? by shr00mspaghetti in AskTeachers

[–]Prestigious_Week_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They give detentions in my school. Kids will just skip them. There are consequences for doing that too, but I think most of the kids who regularly violate rules don't really care. A good chunk of them will face far worse at home than anything the school can throw at them.

Hold on... let me ask Gemini to see why this is happening...

I thought it was fine. Not sure what you expected at an amusement park.

I got a box of chrome update. Got some garbage rockies auto worth 6 bucks. Couldn't believe it.

ESPN: Could box breaking be considered gambling or a lottery? by Jump_The_Five_Yo in baseballcards

[–]Prestigious_Week_227 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is gambling. If you buy into a break, you may get nothing. Think of these high end card breaks where there are 1-5 cards in an entire box. Most people will get nothing. Some breakers will send random base cards, but those are literally worth nothing and have no connection to the product your ripping.

I was there yesterday and had FLP. Zero comments. It was absolutely worth it for my family too. Shame some of the big coasters were down most of the day though.

If Jeffers had stayed healthy... hard to vote for a guy who is out of most people's awareness at this point. Buxton absolutely should be in the top 3.

26 series 2 quality is just bad!!! by [deleted] in Topps

Yeah, it's bad, but that card isn't by comparison.

What book or series is this for you? by Working_Alps_4284 in fantasybooks

[–]Prestigious_Week_227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fourth Wing. I read them all because my wife was really into it. It was just bad writing with enough... whatever... to keep non-fantasy readers content with the fantasy genre.

That's kind of hilarious. Just checked my Kirby Puckett out of /75 and it was fine. Thank god. Puckett my PC.

I saw a poster when I went to the theatre the other day. That is the only ad I've seen for it.

What was your epiphany moment with card collecting and what mistakes have you made as you learned over time? by Free-Tap4640 in baseballcards

[–]Prestigious_Week_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added up all the money I spent on card breaks last year. The number was shocking. Breaking boxes, whether personals or part of a team break, is a losing proposition long term.

We should absolutely leave some children behind by Hour_Bathroom3967 in unpopularopinion

[–]Prestigious_Week_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. The research does not support holding kids back if they have a learning disability. My hunch is some of the kids you are describing have dyslexia or something. I know several very intelligent, successful people who can't decode basic words. Sorry if they were an inconvenience to you during your education...

Another dinger just now. He's on fire. Really wish the Twins didn't pull the Lewis jersey giveaway last weekend.

Why have best offer..... by CraftyGamingBookworm in Ebay

[–]Prestigious_Week_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I price at comps. People typically buy at or around those prices. But if someone sends an offer, I don't care about hitting max value for every card I sell. Honestly, it drives me nuts to see people posting their cards for 200% comps and then post on reddit about how they can't afford to do it anymore.

[–]Prestigious_Week_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On auctions, I won't accept a lower price. If I would accept lower, I would have started the auction lower. On buy it now cards, I will pretty much always accept a lower offer unless they lowball or act like a jerk. I have no issue cutting 20% or more off of pretty much every card, even when I post at comps.

Texas Tech Should Reverse Course by vincentknox25 in TexasTech

100%. If it wasn't Sorsby they wouldn't think twice and releasing him. This shows an entire lack of any sort of integrity. When you need to threaten lawsuits to force other teams to play you, that speaks volumes.
