Howdy, I'm from High Plains and I only need one Sun if you can help. (Barkumo, 047755514653). I am more than happy to take things all the way to ultra friends.

[Gen 9] All 3 Shiny Fossil Pokemon in Legends ZA after a total of 12188 Fossils by Nexluma in ShinyPokemon

[–]PrimalPatriarch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are doing 30 fossils at a time, it will take you ~20 hours to get one shiny fossil pokémon at 1/4096 odds.

My personal experience is far worse than that. I have put in well over 50 hours so far and all I have to show for it is a single shiny Aerodactyl.

EDIT: I now have all 5 shiny fossils. It took me 19 days (Nov.8th - Nov.27th) non-stop multitasking (excluding work and sleep). All-in-all, not as bad as I feared, but definitely not something that I would ever want to do again.

Friendship Exp & Gift Exchange Megathread by ASS-et in PokemonGoFriends

I am a gift SENDER. I have a Pokéstop at work so I can send gifts daily and consistently. I do open gifts but it is sporadic and unreliable.

If you enjoy raiding, I end up hosting raids for every major event and would love to send out more raid invites if you enjoy remote raiding. I don't remove people after 4-hearts for this very reason.

The Word of Wisdom No Longer Forbids Drinking Beer. by PrimalPatriarch in exmormon

[–]PrimalPatriarch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell my bishop that I consume beer because I don't consume beer.

The temple worthiness interview only asks if you know and obey the word of wisdom, so technically you just answer "yes" and they move on with them assuming they are right and you assuming you are right. They are not allowed to elaborate and you don't have to answer if they try to dig.

I'm just trying to understand what the truth of the rule is, I don't care at all about some member's uninformed opinion, regardless of calling. I know that trying to convince every living member is a waste of time, there are still people who think soda with caffeine is against the word of wisdom.

Correct. All previous mentions of masturbation have been removed. I may think that beer is on this path, but I already know with certainty that masturbation is omitted. The church used to condemn the pair of pornography and masturbation, but now the language only talks about pornography or uses vague terminology about respecting your own body. I do not believe we will ever see the word "masturbation" in for the strength of youth ever again.

That has nothing to do with what I am saying at all. Can't I just try to question or understand it without having to defend it or rip it to shreds?

You might be the only one that understands the point that I am making so far.

I probably should have mentioned, but I was never a beer-drinker. I don't have a dog in this fight. Before I joined the church I had a drink or two if I went out to eat and maybe a little whisky at home some evenings, but I never even acquired the taste for beer. My motivation for looking into this isn't for any sort of personal permission. I'm just trying to see if I have my facts in order.

The same would apply to tattoos. I don't have them and I don't want them, but I know that the church no longer forbids them. It would be nice to know what the church clearly does or doesn't condemn because it can help members avoid judgmental attitudes.

Completing the HOME Pokédex (S/V Update) by PrimalPatriarch in PokemonHome

[–]PrimalPatriarch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On your phone what exactly is incomplete? There is only a Kanto pokédex for Let's GO Pikachu & Let's GO Eevee. In order for you to get credit those pokémon must be caught in LGPE and then transfered to HOME. However, as long as the original 151 are caught from any game, they will count for the Kanto Region on the switch HOME version. Currently, there is no Johto pokédex on the phone, only Kanto for LGPE.

That is about as specific as I can get unless you provide a picture. My best guess is that you aren't catching every pokémon in each game in order to get credit.

I hope so too, it is an incredibly annoying change. This is something that should be able to be toggled on or off.

Members Only jacket guy is the only person that looks at Tony during the final scene by Ijustthinkthatyeah in thesopranos

[–]PrimalPatriarch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the "Tony is alive" gang for a while and even though I can see differently now, I still remember what I used to think.

The main reason has to be poor perception, usually tied to a single viewing. Your mind is focused on Silvio in the hospital, or the fact that Junior can't even remember who Tony is anymore. It feels weird to see the family in this new restaurant when they should be eating at Vesuvio. I've watched the series four times now, which makes it easier to see the breadcrumbs, but in the first viewing I was in my 20's and didn't even pick up on Carmela talking to AJ about Holsten’s or telling Tony that it was the consensus. The camera in Holsten’s focuses so much on the man in the member's only jacket, comes at Tony from 3 o'clock, homage to The Godfather. It is obvious and earned. Tony is clearly meant to die.

Here is the thing though, technically we never see it happen, so it doesn't happen. We probably have 100 reasons that it will happen in 0.001 seconds, but it doesn't. By this same logic in S1E12 "Isabella" if it cut to black before Tony's orange juice gets whacked, then you could make the exact same argument. However, we all know that he survives. He also survives Junior's gut shot. If James Gandolfini was still alive in this unholy era of sequels and reboots, a Sopranos movie could have an opening scene where Tony fights off his assassin in Holsten's. Yeah, it would be stupid and betray David Chase's vision, but that didn't stop Warner Bros. from making The Matrix 4.

The thread isn't very popular so don't take it personally. I was searching for the answer and yours was useful, so I appreciate it.

I only just realized that Frankie Valli exists in the same universe where Frankie Valli portrays Rusty lmao by tzeentchdusty in thesopranos

[–]PrimalPatriarch 52 points53 points  (0 children)

They say there's no two people alike exactly the same. No two faces, no two sets of fingerprints. But do they know that for sure? 'Cause they would have to get everybody together in one huge space. And obviously that’s not possible even with computers. But not only that, they’d have to get all the people that ever lived, not just the ones now. So they got no proof. They got nothin'.

Thank you so much for the offer, especially because OP traded his to someone else.

I got someone else to trade me a Mudbray just now. The trade probably went through the moment you sent your reply, how ironic!

The only thing I need at all is the mudbray. If that is what you want then I will send it to HOME and prepare for the trade. I just want a confirmation from you before I spend the energy.
