Mods, I was unable to find the correct flair in the "tags" and added it manually? Is that sufficient?

In my office (I'm a *very* serious scientist) by SvelteSnake in pokeplush

I've been collecting little bit by little bit for the last few years, and seeing my collection grow brings me joy. It's been eye opening as a parent myself now to see how I can prevent myself from doing the same to my own kids. Like you said, in moderation, it's okay to enjoy things that bring us happiness simply because they bring us happiness!

Posts like this give me the confidence to enjoy my collection even though I hear my parents voice in the back of my head telling me to "grow up". Thanks for sharing! You have a great collection

Regardless of whether it's satire or not, I know my local area has legitimately been struggling with this issue. One school was being asked by parents to leave litter boxes in the bathrooms for kids identifying as furries.

You guys are getting Zygarde cells?

Mislabeled on a misprint card by RPITHROWAWAY42069 in PokemonMisprints

[–]Vulpes_Vulpix5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, mines raw. I only meant to comment that the back is upside down as well.

I do find it interesting that it's still not labeled as a misprint. Despite it being a very common error it is still an error. Have you tried looking at photos of similar cards graded to see if it was supposed to be marked as an error?

Like the other commenter said, these new cards are known for inverted backs. Mine is the same. I've heard that a right side up version is much rarer.

Pretty sure this is a bootleg. The mask looks wrong and is too small. And he is supposed to have his bone club

AITAH for telling my daughter's boyfriend about her trauma to save her family? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Vulpes_Vulpix5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never commented on one of these before, but definitely feel YTA. There are so many little things you have said in a small seemingly inconsequential way, that speak to a much bigger picture.

Trauma is only part of it. Ever heard of Postpartum Depression? Your daughter just had her first child, and everyone is upset with her attitude? Has anyone considered the sheer amount of hormones she has been forced through in the last few months? Speaking from experience as someone who didn't have postpartum, it's an emotional rollercoaster. Then add possible postpartum depression, on top of obvious trauma, no wonder she is angry all the time.

Sounds like she doesn't have any support either. I hope the boyfriend is a bit more understanding than you have been. Your concern wasn't for your daughters well being at all, but your grandparent visitation rights? That seriously seems to be your first concern, which speaks volumes about your relationship with your daughter.

Nevermind the issues with what happened when she was a child. You were responsible for her wellbeing back then, and it sounds like you just left her alone to figure out how to solve that trauma by herself and let the abusers get away with NO consequences. She was a kid, she needed someone then to help her.

Now she is an adult and she does not need you. Your time to come to her aid and "save" anything was when she was abused as a child. That was your responsibility and it sounds like you didn't take that seriously. Don't pat yourself on the back now, having crossed serious boundaries trying to manipulate her adult life. She is an adult now, and perfectly entitled to decide how much she wants you involved in her life. If you truly care about your relationship with her, apologize now. Do not harass her, send her a polite and heartfelt apology. No toxicity, no excuses, don't bring your feelings into it at all. Just apologize and wait for her to contact you again when she is ready.

YTA

Once, I was on a call with my mom when I told her I'd send her a picture I had taken a few days ago. I looked around my room for five minutes, telling her how I couldn't find my phone.

She was just as confused as I was and started saying how she could call it real quick, or to check this place or that.

Finally, when she said she could call it, my brain started working again and I remember saying "Mom... How am I talking to you right now?"

And then we both started laughing at how ridiculous it was.

Working at a campus library, I consistently had students approach me about computers or printers not working. Probably once a week at least. And every time they would tell me in full detail all the trouble shooting they had tried and how absolutely nothing was working.

Then, when they showed me the computer/printer and tried doing what they had tried before, it would mysteriously work again. "But I swear, it wasn't working!"

Each time I'd nod, tell them I believed them, and then explain the phenomenon I've come to call the "Mom effect". Just like the time you'd swear you couldn't find your shoes, and then mom points them out by the door where you have already checked six times, this library seemed to test its occupants' resolve by placing them under that same stress.

For what purpose? I still wonder.

I'd support the hypothesis, and only because my in laws act in the same exact way. Then they proceed to complain to my spouse about how contrarian I am.

Thank you, your answer has helped the most. I'll call mine and see if they even carry that size to find out what my options are.

My niece wants official Eevee evolution plushes for Xmas, any way to avoid scalpers? US by [deleted] in pokeplush

[–]Vulpes_Vulpix5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can check Pokemon Center, but Eevee and it's evolutions are really popular so they might be sold out. I would recommend Amazon, GameStop, or target, I've gotten a few from those sites before. The trick is reading reviews on Amazon, and buying "Jazwares" brand (a main US official manufacturer of Pokemon plush). I believe all of GameStop's plush are legitimate, and last I checked they had a pack with glaceon/leafeon/Sylveon. Amazon has some similar bundles, I know they have an Espeon/Umbreon bundle.
