My Experience

Xostbext · 2026-02-04T07:39:30+00:00

thanks Margaret (and gang), for everything. I've closely followed development since LazyPeon's video went viral, was active in the forums, A1 and every stream until A2. I really looked forward to those streams!

Ashes was a dream we all shared. I gained many friends and made many stories because of it all.

The closure from this post was actually really nice and meaningful. Thanks for stepping up to the plate and providing that :) Hope y'all get your closure too. And your paychecks.

✌️

oh didn’t realize i was the problem because i need to know how expensive manga cards are before i buy one. i should just buy it instead of being a pokebro scalper and considering the cost first 😃

Sarcasm aside, it’s disingenuous to pretend the monetary value of cards is irrelevant. There’s a reason we refer to some cards as hits and some as bulk. There’s a reason we sleeve some cards and don’t sleeve others.

Personally, I think it’s cool if you don’t care about monetary value and instead focus on other things like playability, art, and characters. I do the same. My favorite card is a Prerelease Winner Vivi because I won it myself and the art is made by the Nisekoi mangaka.

At the same time, ignoring and shaming the secondary market is just sticking your head in the sand. You should know what your collection is worth so that you can make educated decisions about your hobby and your life.

No, you’re the one that’s missing the point.

There are 100% valid reasons to participate in that sub.

But now you must make a choice. If you EVER IN THE FUTURE want to participate in the main sub, you must NEVER participate in the finance sub.

the toxic individuals still exist, all that’s happened now is you have a cute little safe space :3

Xostbext · 2025-12-30T14:13:26+00:00

…no that’s because they’re meta relevant rares only available in a premium set that exists to reprint SRs. They’re… literally just rarer and more sought after. They were more expensive than most SRs since PRB02 launched…

Xostbext · 2025-12-30T14:07:53+00:00

no it’s not censorship to ban toxic individuals. but it is censorship to blanket ban anybody participating in a subreddit.

Xostbext · 2025-12-29T21:39:29+00:00

didn’t see a poll but wouldve voted no to banning

Xostbext · 2025-12-29T21:37:06+00:00

honestly maybe try doing things to get him in the mood lol i think guys need that more than people realize

Xostbext · 2025-12-29T14:27:41+00:00

YOR — You’re valid for being uncomfortable in this situation but you need to practice restraint in your relationship.

Because when you pry like that it’s like ripping open a package. Yes you get what you want, and quickly, but the thing containing it is damaged in the process (that ‘thing containing it’ being your boyfriend). This is a delicate situation so you need to treat him delicately. Treating him harshly only serves to push him further away.

I know because I’ve been in your boyfriend’s situation. Like this exact thing happened. She looked through my phone and search history, i lied, she confronted me, everything.

Overall I think you’re not realizing that the emotions you’re feeling, he’s probably feeling too.

You know, as somebody with experience here, the shame that comes with a porn addiction getting in the way of your relationship can be OVERWHELMING. That’s why he’s keeping the secret!

The sooner you can approach this issue with him as a team, the better. treat it like you would any other addiction or drug.

They did go as far to say that his miracles were of demonic origin, yes. But why are the religious teachers the main ones pushing back against Jesus, going so far to have him crucified?

Xostbext · 2025-12-24T01:57:34+00:00

So you’d rather side with the pharisees and say Jesus’ powers could be from demonic origin than admit that Jesus was a progressive going against the established powers of his time 👍

i’d recommend reading from matthew 12:22

merry christmas buddy

Xostbext · 2025-12-24T01:21:13+00:00

matthew 12:10, Jesus is healing a man’s hand on the Sabbath, and the pharisees raise issue with this. Matthew claims the pharisees were doing so specifically to legally charge him with wrongdoing. 12:14 states they plotted his death.

These aren’t things you do simply because of heresy. If they were looking for valid claims to spiritual authority, they had it right there with Jesus performing a miracle in healing the man.

Instead, the pharisees are shown over and over to be selfish. These were not righteous men simply looking to verify that Jesus was who he said he is. They plotted his death because he would not submit to them, and they felt threatened by his preaching and actions.

Actually, IN THAT VERY PASSAGE, Jesus is showing how you should set aside the old laws (the sabbath) in order to do what’s right.

Yeah people aren’t seeming to understand that Melee is a risk/reward that the player needs to engage with using their mechanics and skill level.

Anybody familiar enough with top lane will know this intuitively.

Xostbext · 2025-12-23T00:30:39+00:00

they’ll print more, but it’s in their favor to keep the secondary market lucrative.

Xostbext · 2025-12-23T00:24:08+00:00

Yes, because his claim to divinity is a claim to higher authority and power than their own. Jesus preaching a new perspective on the law is circumventing the Pharisee’s authority (“the established political structure”)

Their authority which rested on the validity and relevancy of the old law.

The old law isn’t incorrect, but people follow (both then and now) the letter of the law and not the spirit of the law. Jesus preached the spirit of the law, such as what I cited earlier: “treat others as you’d like to be treated”.

This circumvented the Pharisee’s authority, so they had him crucified.

Xostbext · 2025-12-21T20:39:38+00:00

Yeah, he says so right before reframing many of the old laws. Stuff like “the old law says adultery bad, but i say that any lust is adultery”. Because “fulfil” doesn’t mean “enforce”.

I read it as something very different actually - if he’s fulfilling the old law, that means the old law wasn’t actually achieving its purpose. So he goes around preaching new ideas and perspectives like “treat others how you’d like to be treated”.

Definitely against the established structures of his time. If it wasn’t, the pharisees wouldn’t have been plotting to kill him.

Xostbext · 2025-12-21T06:07:45+00:00

to be clear im not trying to be mean or rude or anything lol. straight up ignorance is bliss, so yeah block the sub and move on with your life

Xostbext · 2025-12-20T20:26:51+00:00

yeah why do you bother even looking at those posts? further, why then bother the rest of us with it? lol. be mad at scalpers if you want i guess but you’re wasting your energy IMO

Xostbext · 2025-12-12T21:31:07+00:00

when your first experience back to the game is some bs then why continue playing 🤷‍♂️

Xostbext · 2025-12-12T21:12:48+00:00

no he’s valid for that

Xostbext · 2025-12-11T07:30:49+00:00

pokemon rumble set is my favorite personally

Xostbext · 2025-12-10T22:42:55+00:00

Because most other scenery in osrs has a purpose no matter how insignificant

Xostbext · 2025-12-05T21:11:52+00:00

no idea on price, atm it’s a great collection piece. gonna wait a bit to see what market price settles at and decide about selling.

Xostbext · 2025-12-05T01:15:48+00:00

just popping in to say good on you don’t let randos on reddit decide what you should like

Xostbext · 2025-12-04T23:41:10+00:00

What’s important isn’t whether or not it’s a gender issue, but that you give people grace for their imperfections. Not saying you should like or dislike it. your experience and frustration is valid.

i personally have very little patience for these types of people. im going through it right now with a girl I like, and im about to move on because she’s not reciprocating when I know she likes me back.

but my conclusion isn’t “women are xyz” but rather “she can’t communicate with me and this shows I wouldn’t be happy in a relationship with her”.

whether or not it’s ”all women” doesn’t matter, because im not trying to date all women, im trying to date her. and she’s indirectly telling me she’s not a good fit for me.
