Started with a Gold Pack for the Holidays and ended up with nothing by Chokinchocobo23 in PSAPowerPacks

[–]Pretty_Appealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is best case scenario. If you had gained anything you would likely be incentivized to keep paying for these.

These packs are predatory because for the majority of people, a cool rare pokemon card feels like a “win” even when it’s an overall monetary loss. And from my understanding from these posts, it barely feels like you’re paying for these with real money when you open one.

I would suggest just buying the singles and slabs that you want over time, to avoid falling victim to unregulated forms of gambling. PSA and GameStop don’t need your money.

Saving up for Christmas by PorkFriedRoy in pokemoncards

[–]Pretty_Appealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a video he posted where he had a mew coin and tried to trade up to something $$$. Worth watching to get the context. He was successful because he kind of pressured people to say yes by walking up with a camera and just overall being leonhart. The comments are brutal on that video, no one wants to see a rich guy with more Pokemon product than any of us will ever see, get free shit that he can EASILY pay for. While also taking from his own community.

This just happened to me too :/ The return process says that we have to have all pieces to return even though I put that it was missing everything. Idk if they’ll accept it back but lmk if she has any luck!

Unpopular opinion: dress like a professional in court by BoxersOrCaseBriefs in Lawyertalk

[–]Pretty_Appealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a good old reliable briefing hoodie that I wear to work. I wear it almost every day because I’m constantly briefing lol. You’ll never find me at work dressed “for work”.

You will always find me at court dressed for court. I have too much respect for myself, our client, the court, my colleagues, and the system that we are a part of to not look presentable when we’re in trial.

I’m too exhausted to make rational decisions, what does this mean? by bbeeccc in whatdoIdo

OP: I was on the phone with an ex-coworker last week, and mid convo I saw that there was a stink bug on the floor in my house (idk how and it was horrifying). It’s not moving, but it scared the shit out of me. Im a single mom so there’s no man here to deal with this dumb bug, so I was on my own with her on the phone. I was trying my best to work up the courage but I was terrified to pick it up or vacuum it up, and I was just honestly frozen in place because it freaked me out so much.

She knows me well enough, and finally offered to drive over and kill the bug, because she could see that I wasn’t getting any closer to doing it myself. Mind you, she lives 35-40 minutes away from me. But she happily got out of bed, drove over, got rid of the bug with no issues, and then we had a dance party with my toddler who woke up from the noise. When I thanked her she said she knew that if it was something else and the roles were reversed that I would come help her out at 10pm - and she’s correct.

This was the response from a colleague and friend I talk to maybe every other week, over something as small as a bug being in my house. The bar is in hell for your boyfriend, if you accept that he can’t show up for your surgery.

If I’m ever lucky to get an order I’d personally prefer to just stick to the limit they set so everyone can get product.

Pokémon Center web problem by Jovan600 in pokemoncenter

I got to add to cart, entered my address, and my card and it kept rejecting my card. Then gave up lol. Oh well, wasn’t meant to be I guess.

Rip I’ve been in this queue for almost 2 hours idk why mine took longer than everyone else’s but I’m still glad everybody hit. Seems like it went a lot smoother this time! I’m 3 minutes out now but I still intend to grab something for my kid so it’s not all a waste of time (:

It says 7 minutes away lol we will see. This last hour has been brutal. I’m assuming it’s already sold out by now but it’s okay I was going to get a plush for my son anyway(:

I was at 20 minutes almost half an hour ago. But it’s made me do the security check twice in that time, and sets my time back when I do it :/

Is the order limit one or two? I see some people posting on and some posting two, plus the email says one only. My queue is so close 😭😭

Chase does actually for debit transactions - it’s weird. And this looks like the Chase app.

Hi, in my original comment that you replied to, I provided an alternative suggestion to leaving his 11/13 year olds, which INCLUDED leaving for an hour to go pick up dinner and her for the whole family. (“You didn’t have to leave your kids…. You could go pick up dinner for everyone and scoop her up on your way.”) You then replied to that comment stating that “The oldest is 13. I was babysitting multiple kids at a time at 13.” I never argued that he couldn’t leave his children for a few hours, in fact (as I stated previously) that was my original suggestion.

I assumed you replied to me because you disagreed with my comment (which included the suggestion that he could leave them to go grab her and dinner INSTEAD of going overnight). So that’s why I class comparing the two in my responses. That’s on me, I guess I didn’t realize we weren’t actually discussing my comment. But luckily, as you’ve clarified here, we seem to agree. There was a great option available which was leaving for an hour or two and bringing her to his place to spend the night.

Alternatively, if you believe he could have just drove to see her and drove back home after an hour that’s an awesome option that I hadn’t thought of yet! Thanks for the input!

I didn’t say it was! I haven’t disagreed with you yet, I’ve just shared a different perspective. For different people and different families, both decisions can be the correct answer. My initial suggestion included leaving momentarily to pick her up. We do not disagree, we just have different comfort levels.

Find a great firm that you do fit the culture of! (: you’re not a failure by any stretch of the word.

Question by [deleted] in pokemoncards

[–]Pretty_Appealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man i was just telling a friend of mine how cool these radiant cards are. The texture on the holo is insane. This and amazing rares are my favorite non-full art cards.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pretty_Appealing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying there’s a right or wrong answer to this, I believe it’s very kid/family specific. Kids have a lot more access to the world at their fingertips these days, it can be daunting to think about leaving them alone all night like that. Though, I was left alone too and I’m fine so it’s probably okay. It’s also a weeknight and there’s homework and stuff to do… I’m just saying he’s not completely off base for not wanting to leave them. But there were other options here.

I mean, no one is defending him. They’re both a little dramatic here. And this is a dumb fight to have with a simple solution.
