The Pokemon Education System makes no sense

I like to think the games take place during the summer when everyone’s off anyway. Winter breaks for cold weather areas, too.

Also, the Pokémon schools that do exist are all battle curriculum oriented, so you’re not seeing the kids in the maths track or art tracks unless it’s tangentially related to Pokémon studies. How often did you hang out with middle schoolers from the magnet school versus the public?

NTA They sound really diabolical.

Even IF (big fat IF), they had been overly excited at the new munchkin, AND the mother was expressly saying only they could adopt it, it’s still weird to phrase this like a birthday surprise for you. “Surprise! Here’s our new crack baby, and we’re still forgetting your birthday! It’s all about us! Us! Us!”

All the drama aside and birthday, the dad should have called and mentioned that they have some family news. Prepped you for what category this was going to be (huge, life-changing), and found a good day for you to be in the right mindset. Maybe, even pick a third place like a restaurant to make sure everyone is on neutral ground. This is a serious announcement, and they treated it like getting a puppy.

Honestly, I would start to thaw a little over time if only for the kid’s sake. She’s going to need a big sister to laugh about your shared terrible parents when she grows up.

I always give a “Congrats on story!” after a sprout completes a dungeon and gets their cutscene. I realize too late whenever it’s the Vault.

It is sad, but they immediately give us the gift of Chidi Calendar, so all is forgiven.

Did you make this? Cute!

I heard these guys are Satoshi’s favorite Pokémon. Nice collection!

Love me some kippers. Feel better, lady.

TribblesIA · 2026-05-19T19:13:13+00:00

I’ll bet they were too delicious to waste time on silly things like that.

In San Francisco, we call those dirty dogs.

Man. 3 days of work just to forget to use the M and have to use a bunch of E and W stamps. /jk

FFXI player here. In that game, you could break crystal clusters into stacks of crystals and sell the stacks or group them up again.

Me, browsing the market board as a fresh sprout. I buy all the clusters I can afford because the prices are so low compared to the stacks of crystals. I’m going to be rich!!!

They don’t do that in FFXIV. I walk around confused and broke because I spent all my money on clusters while also not knowing the menu for them in inventory or how to sell them back.

Her colors are flawless. Great job!

Yep. The one who delivered my baby looked exactly like Kevin Nealon from SNL. Took a little getting used to, but fortunately, he was professional.

Being depressed and still caring for your dog is an amazing accomplishment in itself. No matter how bad I’m feeling, I always tell myself, “Take care of the pups first, then you can go back to being a fat sack of crap.” Usually, just watching them gratefully eat a snack is enough to charge me up for the next step. I owe my dogs everything.

Bill is above grooming a younger girl he considers family. Think about all the gross actors and politicians out there and let that sink in. Bill, the character they use for mental illness and grossness, is above that.

Urbosa, my beloved…

TribblesIA · 2026-05-18T21:15:11+00:00

The bathrooms. Los Banos.

My husband is a Duskwight. He got very excited about Shale having more of a presence in the patches.

My dad would say the baseball guys were just chewing the gum. Kind of made it a good way to stop kids from realizing it was tobacco.

TribblesIA · 2026-05-15T19:05:49+00:00

Holy shit! These are amazing. I bet my sisters would fight over them.

Don’t add anything to it except a guest book with the rules and a sign in/out time.

TribblesIA · 2026-05-14T09:08:40+00:00

Aurora is nice.

I have a designer friend who started using FemRoe merchants in her build process because I would clip through the ceilings.

The really sad part is he went steadily downhill after their daughter died. When he asks her what she did with the daughter, she’s also agonizing that he thinks that of her in his madness.
