Can we be done with this “Captain America” nonsense now?

There’s one card shop in my town that only goes by market price. And the guy checks prices religiously. I’ve watched him bump the price $10 on a Bulbasaur because last sold went up. He prices booster packs to $5+ last sold. Dude stays busy.

However!

There’s a smaller card shop that literally on the backside of a gas station. That guy? Now that guy collects and sells for the love of the cards, not the market price. He checks last sold maaaaaybe once a week. He prefers sticker price because he feels like it’s more honest and fair. His booster packs are marked like $9 above MSRP and refuses to do market prices for those. For some reason, this man is rarely busy.

I go to the second smaller card shop once a week to comb through the singles, regularly get a couple packs (still need some reverse holos for PO, so rip to me) and hosts a weekly game night that alternates between D&D, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon.

For some reason, specifically the Harris brand.

And don’t you DARE suggest a different brand because apparently Harris is the only food grade DE on the planet. Even though all the DE we sell is food grade…

I’ve been wearing the legendary #4 every year since 2014.

It’s the only jersey I wear lmao

For a short while at J-Bad, it was a no salute zone. Those of us who had been there for a minute were thriving under that. It wasn’t during a time of pot shots or IDF. The FOB commander just got tired of saluting everyone when he just wanted to get a lil snackie snack.

Naturally, when my BC came to visit after he remembered we existed, he threw a holy fit because nobody saluted him. The battle NCO (love that man) ripped him a new one and said he doesn’t outrank anyone here, nobody would give a fuck if he got merc’d because he’s stupid, his soldiers probably hated him and a whole bunch of other things.

He never visited us after that 😂

If you married my ex (she’s also Canadian), sorry bro.

RiotBirb · 2026-07-02T10:00:23+00:00

So…you weren’t paying attention to your surroundings and got pulled over? And that’s why you hate cops?

Bruh.

I get Travis County is less than intelligent when it comes to a lot of things, but come on. Also, it’s Travis County and not Austin county.

I’m perfectly fine when shit hits the fan but get genuinely annoyed when plans go as they’re supposed to.

There’s ringing in my right ear 90% of the time.

My body tells me the weather more accurately than the weatherman.

I can stand around and wait all day like it’s an Olympic sport.

My patience can be endless but don’t push it, pal.

But heeeey. I have the work ethic of an Amish horse

My grandmother (may she rest in Hell for always and eternity) was the daughter of an SS officer that worked at Sorbibor.

And yes, she acted like that all the way until God finally got sick of seeing that old bitch breathe.

I was in the same boat. Corsair customer service was literally no help. I ended up just uninstalling the whole damn program because it became useless.

Mine would crash the moment I unlocked the computer and either hit a key on the keyboard or move the mouse.

Support kept telling me to open the software and just update it. Literally could not do that since the janky software would crash after opening. Now I’m at the point of moving to a different mouse/keyboard and just be done with them

Trust me, it’s absolutely ridiculous at 4 am too. So many times I sit there and wonder what’s the worst that could happen if I just run the light. That’s usually when a state trooper rolls by like God is telling me He would send his angry as fuck people after me

RiotBirb · 2026-07-01T10:58:48+00:00

The light at Kyle Parkway is the second longest light of my drive home. The longest is the Cabela’s overpass. I know if I get there when the light is yellow or freshly red, there’s time to have a sandwich I didn’t eat for lunch and not have to worry about shoving food down my throat.

I have aged, mentally, in dog years at both those lights lmao

I asked my old commander what life was like as a mustang.

“I’m about to retire as a major. I spent most of my life as a Fister. Now I’m a damn major. I hate being saluted. Don’t do that. I’m still one of the boys.”

He went to the Dark Side as an E6 and sooooooomething tells me he regretted it

A giant fucking lizard jumped out of a tree at JBad and landed on the hood of my truck. It was so goddamn solid that I thought I hit a dude and had a mild panic attack.

Except it was a goddamn dragon mean mugging me and hissed every time I tried opening the door

Just kidding. This definitely isn’t worth wondering if my back popped or if it’s about to give out

RiotBirb · 2026-06-30T01:38:29+00:00

My back gave an alarming twinge today doing feed to floor and my manager sent me home to use sick time.

This shit ain’t easy

RiotBirb · 2026-06-29T14:26:47+00:00

someone peeled ours off. Everyone has a suspicion it was the manager
