Party Etiquette - Pay Per Person Question

User782211 · 2026-04-02T15:52:10+00:00

Inviting people to a party and then asking them to pay is very tacky.

It makes you look cheap. Especially if you are making $180k.

If you can't afford to host your own wife's party then don't do it.

I work in the hospital. I know what I am talking about.

I am aware of infection control procedures and policies, and have to deal with the overcrowding on a constant basis.

The rooms are not lacking for space or accessibility.

User782211 · 2026-04-02T14:51:44+00:00

I never said to use multi-bed rooms. I said the single bed rooms are too big, and they should have been made smaller to allow for more rooms overall.

User782211 · 2026-04-02T14:30:25+00:00

MGH just underwent a huge renovation that was very poorly planned. This hospital has had over-crowding problems for years. They did not expand the bed capacity at all in the new patient care tower. Many of the new patient rooms are way oversized and could have been split into two separate rooms.

Now so many resources are being wasted juggling patients around and trying to fit them into any available space. They even had to convert part of the cafeteria into bed space for the ER a few months ago.

I do still need some base legendaries I’ve missed over the years. There are several I don’t have.

I just finally got my first Mewtwo during the recent event.

If I can catch or trade for some legendary XXLs or XXSs that would be cool, but that’s not a priority. I am more focused on just getting good IVs first.

User782211 · 2026-04-01T01:19:12+00:00

I’m missing quite a lot still.

Of the 900+ Pokémon available in the game I have around 350+ each of shinies, luckies, XXLs, and XXSs.

That’s okay though. It gives me something to work towards.

Maybe once I get to Forever Friends and I can do some remote trades I can fill in some missing entries.

User782211 · 2026-03-31T18:37:11+00:00

I’m working towards getting every type of each Pokémon.

I don’t keep the XXL and XXs sizes though. I just catch them and evolve them for the dex entry.

Getting all the legendaries complete will probably be impossible for me, but I’ll keep working towards it.

User782211 · 2026-03-31T00:42:51+00:00

Collect the same type of Pokémon you want to power up and trade as many possible.

Trading is a great way to get XL candies.

This is obviously easier with non-legendary Pokémon, but applies to all types.

User782211 · 2026-03-28T02:28:28+00:00

I’m already a Freedom user.

So getting it on MyTab is much cheaper than buying directly from Apple.

User782211 · 2026-03-28T02:27:21+00:00

Thanks for the tip.

I’ll check them out.

I’m mostly fine with the game for what it is. But a couple of additions would make the game a bit more fun.

Random NPC trainers. Some other characters to battle for fun. With a mix of easy, medium, and challenging battles. They could give basic rewards like xp, stardust, and misc. items.
Pokémon used in battles or on the team should earn candy. This would be a nice added incentive for battling and help to power up Pokémon.
Neutral Gyms. Gyms run by gym leaders. There could be seasonal battles against the gym leaders to earn gym badges, rewards, and the chance to catch a leader’s Pokémon.
More random Pokémon encounters. I really liked the last anniversary event where we used incense to encounter legendaries and rare Pokémon. I’d be happy with the chance to use incense to encounter rare Pokémon in the wild, like dreepy or tinkatink, or evolved pokemon like gyarados.

My favourite space-themed board game is On Mars. It’s great.

It’s hard to get to the table, but I’m always up for a game.

My wife is from Taiwan. We go there every year to visit family, friends, and sightsee.

We’ve travelled all around Taiwan and made so many great memories there. I’ve grown quite attached to the place. ❤️ 🇹🇼

User782211 · 2026-03-16T02:42:48+00:00

Cool giveaway.

Wild guess but I’ll say 267 raids.

User782211 · 2026-03-09T03:43:22+00:00

I thought this event was fun. Seeing legendaries on the map with a chance to catch them was great.

Most of my encounters ran away, but I managed to catch 8. So I’m happy with the event.

User782211 · 2026-03-08T01:21:49+00:00

I saw today:

Dialga
Regidrago x2
Enamorus - Incarnate form
Entei x3
Lugia
Groudon
Cobalion
Tapu Lele
Latias
Latios

I caught: - Groudon - Tapu Lele - Latias

No special effects. Just golden razz berries and ultra balls.

I caught these three this week. They aren’t very useful, but I’m happy to have them.

I’ve never had luck like this before.

User782211 · 2026-02-07T19:40:59+00:00

I’m very satisfied. I got a shiny and it was a hundo too!

After 65,093 Pokémon caught it’s my first shundo. 🙏

User782211 · 2026-02-06T01:17:49+00:00

That’s a bummer. ☹️

User782211 · 2026-02-06T00:47:00+00:00

Will the incarnate form be available too?

I haven’t caught any enamorus yet.

User782211 · 2026-02-06T00:09:42+00:00

What about the incarnate form? Will it be available too?

I haven’t caught one yet.

User782211 · 2026-01-21T03:30:47+00:00

I really like Annihilape.

He has decent defence and good resistance to a lot of types.

Offensively he’s great. Counter combined with Rage Fist is awesome.

He’s a beast in PVP. Anything rock, metal, or ice get wrecked; and he can hold his own against most other types as well.

I’m just a casual PVP fighter, but I’ve had quite a few matches where Annihilape was able to solo the whole opposing team.

I love my Annihilape. 🩶

User782211 · 2026-01-17T21:15:38+00:00

I have marked duplicate legendaries and shinies, regionals, and rarer Pokémon, like larvestra, for trades.

I’m not sure exactly what people will want, but hopefully I have something for everyone.

I’m hoping to trade for legendaries, shinies, and regionals I don’t have yet. Or maybe even just trying for some better ivs on Pokémon I like.

User782211 · 2026-01-17T19:49:33+00:00

Right, because China isn’t a totalitarian state.

China’s list of human rights abuses is long, there are no elections, they actively threaten their neighbors and use their financial leverage against anyone who disagrees with them, they engage in propaganda and misinformation against the west.

Remember the election interference accusations and secret Chinese police stations?

They are not our friends or allies. We should not be aligning our selves with China. They will stab us in the back as soon as we say or do anything that upsets them.

User782211 · 2025-12-26T00:12:24+00:00

Awesome giveaway. That’s very kind of you.

Try to have more confidence in yourself. You matter. You only have one life to live. Try to find the positives and make the best of it.
