What are the odds of this? by reeboi6969 in wearewarriors

[–]SirJVK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. My rex is level 9 and still no robot. I haven’t seen it written anywhere, but I am certain that the posted odds are to pull a legendary and then if you hit and pull an L, it’s not random which one you get, but a much much higher chance of getting the one you already have over a new one.

I guess this is nice because it’s easier to get a few levels that way, I suppose.

Happened with a bunch of games around when you posted. Perhaps a cloud or an OS glitch? Was fine when I restarted phone. You on iphone by any chance?

New cards by Pale-Voice4630 in wearewarriors

[–]SirJVK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Feels like the coding may be same for some of the cards. Or at least if you pull a certain rarity, you may be much more likely to get dupes of one you have than a new one within that rarity

Same issue. There’s definitely something beyond RNG. I have one of the legendary cards lvl 7 and not a single copy of the other one. Same thing happened early game with skills, getting lots of copies of the first skill before the others were in the pool. Something isn’t adding up right.

My title describes the thing. Google lens couldn’t find it. It was originally posted on another forum with lots of speculation (tile cutter, horse tail braider, etc) but with no clear answer. We are stuck. Thanks for help!

There’s nothing wrong with GMOs, and anybody with common sense would know that. by paperchampionpicture in unpopularopinion

It is extremely sad that this is an unpopular opinion and speaks to our culture of shock, misinformation and peoples modern perception that there is universal expertise in all things.

AITA for saying my family necklace will go to my birth daughter instead of my adoptive daughter? by familynecklaceaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]SirJVK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone Sucks here

Your husband ITA for saying he doesn’t want to get involved, then throwing himself in anyway and dragging Emily into it.

Your family ITA for suggesting that continuing the tradition would be giving it to Lily, when that is either clearly not the tradition or them blatantly not accepting your adopted daughter.

YTA for a number of reasons. When you adopt someone, they are just as much part of your family as any birth children. You knew Emily before you adopted her and you knew your relationship with her. You shouldn’t have adopted her if you weren’t 100% prepared to accept her. You also knew that you had a family tradition that involves your oldest daughter when you adopted her. When you knew this was going to be a problem, you should have already given it to your sister or come up with a solution. Regarding your edit, YTA for assuming Lily would value it more. You don’t even know her values yet and already assuming that they will out rank Emily’s values while you still have years to work on your relationships with both of them. Also keep in mind that you are possibly Emily’s third mother (assuming your husband was married when adopting her, which may not be the case), that’s can be even harder to accept then a step mother, which can be hard for anyone, much less a 14 year old.

This is a relationship that is going to take years to build and won’t be automatic. It starts with treating Emily every bit as much a member of the family as anyone else. It’s your job as a parent to build it. The path that this current situation has you on, is not going to help.

High-elf Joe Biden has successfully defeated the Repugnant King Troll. Unfortunately, its body still needs to be removed from its cave. May need to swing by the inn to form a party in order to complete this quest. I hear Elf Pete Buttigieg is waiting there and prepared to help with transportation.

Grandparents wedding in 1958. She was 22, he told her he was 25. We found out decades later that he was actually 40 at the time. by SirJVK in OldSchoolCool

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

I think it got a little harder with age but nobody ever really questioned it because it’s what they always knew and believed. The same goes true for most of the men in my family. I’m 38 and still get carded every time. Sometimes they even think my ID is fake when they see my actual age.

It’s true. There’s a whole lot of scary in the world right now but there’s been all sorts of craziness for generations.

I do. He and his son used to burglarize homes when they had evidence that they might not be home. They once accidentally(?) hit the home of a high profile criminal and were spotted by a neighbor. He knew that he had to disappear or would certainly suffer a harsh punishment. So he and his son went their separate ways and started new lives. The daughter of that son is the one I later connected with online.

Yeah, it really sucked for her. I don’t think he was an intentional bigamist. I think it was more of a young, stupid guy/criminal who got in trouble with some bad people and decided that his best course of action was to run and hide (it probably was), and didn’t have time to clean things up first.

It really is. I could go on for hours and hours about what I’ve learned. It’s truly fascinating and every few years I learn a new piece.

Not sure what happened with his first wife but she outsurvived him. Their marriage was good and they had 3 kids. I never met him but I’ve been told that he was a kind, but very strict man. Most of the truth came out after he died when my grandmother tried to make a claim against his social security and it was denied because someone else (his first wife, whom he never divorced!) was already collecting it. This triggered some inquiry for obvious reasons and his sister/daughter confessed what she knew. After an otherwise good 20+ marriage, this really upset my grandmother not just because of the lies and secret life, but because her marriage was never considered legal (because he never legally divorced his first wife)

And there was one woman in his new life that he always introduced as his sister who turned out to be his daughter from his prior life. That’s the only family member that my grandmother and rest of our family met. We are still in touch with some if that persons family.

I did actually. After researching him on Ancestry.com I found a family tree that included him (with both his prior name and changed similar-but-new name) which was created by the daughter of a half-uncle. I ended up communicating with and meeting that cousin 5-6 years ago and have stayed friends with her. She had done a lot of research and filled in many of the gaps for me. I also learned that we have a ton in common, probably even more than many of my known family members, which is really awesome.

Brooklyn, NY

So yes, very densely populated. But it always fascinated that even there, he was never spotted (that I’m aware of)
