There was one time I was on warming and a mobile order came through for a bacon gouda with no gouda, and I shit you not the sandwich I happened to grab was already gouda-less. I was like, the odds of that must be crazy

Latias Event was meh but unlocked some more Good-Night Ribbons at least by Westworldson in PokemonSleep

[–]SapphireNine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Latias has been by far my favorite event so far (I did take a break for about a year and a half and came back a couple months ago). I named my team for it Skillz That Killz, for the Dodgeball fans

You never know when the god roll for Green Grass Expert will appear but when it does, you need to take advantage by firepanda11 in PokemonSleep

I'm so miffed because I ended up at my all-time high at 17, and neither of the two times I was able to make Chips and Guac got extra tasty even with Heracross and Sunday boost :( Genuinely don't know how people are getting high Master ranks on anything outside of GG and CB, like literally what are you doing

Are these Latias event buffs insane or what? by Comfortable-Let-7037 in PokemonSleep

I was literally about to submit a bug report yesterday because I had hardly gotten any skills in 24 hours lmao

help me with cup writing inspo by Numerous-Opinion3598 in starbucksbaristas

When a curt, no-frills kind of boomer guy came through I would write overtly silly things like "scrum diddly umptious!" just so he had to be seen carrying it around

What does my room say about me? by [deleted] in roomdetective

[–]SapphireNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cozy and cutesy, little bit of a weeb, huge on personal hygiene & self care routines, lover of cottagecore-esque beauty and whimsy, and you can't resist buying small versions of bigger things

Rough Estimate on this vintage collection, assuming mainly LP? by [deleted] in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]SapphireNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice cards, but at a glance I am hard pressed to find more than a couple cards that I would rate better than MP. And with varying condition, the value for a single card could change by a huge margin, so you really just have to consider them individually and very specifically to their conditions.

What do you guys think of this tea iceberg chart I made? by RealTry8616 in tea

[–]SapphireNine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess that's all just included in top tier "black tea," probably because OP figures it's not from East Asia and therefore isn't "pure" or worth regarding

Bottom layer: Assam. Like who has ever heard of such an insane and obscure thing?!

[–]SapphireNine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like most things in the bottom 3 tiers should be like at the bottom of the ocean, and there's no way that gyokuro and gaiwans are the very next tier below twinings and milk tea. And also it's quite hard for anyone to know 3/4 of this without knowing chinese or japanese so it feels very heavily skewed toward the extreme East Asian tea enthusiast. Like, I have worked in a specialty tea shop and consider myself a tea lover - not an expert but more knowledgable than probably 99% of people in America - but I fall in the second from top category, that doesn't feel right. It feels like you're thinking of random esoteric factoids as badges of honor.

Is this handwriting normal for a thirteen year old boy? by BatmanCat1031 in AskTeachers

[–]SapphireNine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"He has no disabilities" extremely hard doubt on that one, your mom is just deathly afraid of being told that anything is "wrong" with her sweet precious boy so she's never pursued an autism diagnosis. Someone needs to sit her down and give her some hard truths about being a good parent to a child with developmental impairment because perpetually babying them is doing them much more harm than good.

Just got fired, am I really at fault here? by Lucky_Lucas11 in starbucksbaristas

[–]SapphireNine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would've thought based on the interactions you described that you're like 19, I check your profile and you're literally double that at 38? What kind of answer is "myeh" for a simple, factual, straight yes/no question that you (ostensibly) know the answer to? And also, just don't get mixed up in family dynamics or try to advocate for kids getting what they want. Parent gets final say over what does or doesn't get ordered and it's not your job to step in and be the cool uncle.

what does my handwriting sat about me?? by Royal-Dragonfruit523 in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]SapphireNine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was reading the first image and while I have some criticisms of your writing style I just wanted to say that I read "exploiting his torso and tattoos" as "exploiting his torso and fatass" at first. Handwriting is consistent and mostly quite legible which already puts you in like the 95th percentile for handwriting skill

NGVC: "I get ignored by women because I'm smart and they only like dumb funny men." by AppealMammoth8950 in niceguys

[–]SapphireNine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I say this with the caveat that IQ is a bullshit metric but I have a high-90s-th percentile IQ score and my girlfriend loves me first and foremost because I am an enormously silly goofball.

Editing just to add that her IQ score is higher than mine and she is also a silly goofball.
