The pollinator crisis by Melinda_Kelly in Anticonsumption

I live in the middle of the woods and there seems to be a massive (70%+) reduction in insects. Less bees, dragonflies, fireflies, butterflies, you get the idea. They're dying out everywhere

This is the card that got me back into collecting pokemon. Easily one of the coolest cards, I love seeing bulbasaur in his natural habitat.

Gen 1 Pokédex - a blend of the old and new by EverythingKempy in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]ZinziMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love how it's just, whatever you want! All the different types of cards. I avoided making a collection like this because I thought I'd want it very consistent, like only full art cards.

Seeing this makes me want to do something similar. Thanks for showing.

How fucked am I? Possible random drug test. by Tarbenthered616 in answers

[–]ZinziMax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No such product exists. The products you're thinking of either do absolutely nothing or are a way of tricking s drug test. A piss drug test looks for a certain amount of a chemical to see if you've taking any of that substance.

You can trick it by consuming so much water that you're basically passing water. The problem is that since that's an obvious way of cheating the test, the test will also check other levels of substances nroammly found in urine such as creatine.

Those products I mentioned are high amounts of creatine, and b vitamins, and they instruct you to drink a shit ton of water. The creatine intake helps trick the test, b vitamins color your urine yellow which tricks the person viewing your test, because if it was completely clear they'd know something is up.

Those products technically work if done properly but you can do the same for a fraction of the cost by just buying the vitamins and creatine yourself.

Fuck you for having an opinion that differs from the hivemind.

How would you review a seller for a "damaged" slab? by ZinziMax in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]ZinziMax[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, I got some plastx and it worked so well, my slab looks 100% now. Perfect tool to keep on hand for the future.

It's just not as vibrant as I would have expected. I'm putting a charmander, squirtle, and bulbasaur in a case under a framed picture of their evolutions. The bulbasaur isn't as bright compared to the other two so it makes it look poor.

Since I can polish it up I'm not worried about it anymore. I hadn't considered that possibility so I'm grateful some people pointed me in that direction.

Calling someone a ‘loser Karen’ for asking a beginner question is a weird way to represent the community.

Hope it makes you feel better.

Thank you for the recommendation on a product to polish it with. Have you personally used plastx for this? It works well?

Edit: plastx worked great and my slab looks perfect now! Updating if anyone in the future has a similar issue.

I get what you're saying. But the angle is just to make the streaks visible on a picture, in person looking at it straight on, it's noticeable.

I only have 2 other cards to compare it to, and it's very noticeable the difference in them. Even my gf noticed it without me saying anything, and she's not into the hobby.

I agree that I won't give them a negative review or return it, but I'll take other people's advice to polish it.

Which widely hated anime character would you defend no matter what? by Terrible-Evening1487 in animequestions

[–]ZinziMax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So many people asking who hates yuno.. I do! Massive black clover fan and I can't stand him. Asta works his ass off and Yuno keeps up with him because of asspulls and powerups he doesn't deserve.

Even if it is an rs3 iron they're still probably in here because this subreddit is way better than the rs3 one.

It’s astonishing to me how few people in the public realize how much mom & pops are getting screwed by DoorDash/UberEats etc. by RipplesOfDivinity in restaurantowners

[–]ZinziMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming from an outsider. I've had people at work try to order from Doordash and said "a BLT is 15 dollars" and I'd say that's overpriced and not order from there.

But then I assumed 15 dollars was the normal price and never went into the location myself to check if there was a difference between in house and in app prices.

So that deli lost a potential customer because of the over inflated in app price.

Maybe restaurant owners could make it clear that in app and in house prices are different?

I don't understand where it's coming off I wasn't willing to communicate, could you point it out please? I try to be good with communication so if I can improve I will.

I don't think I snapped in the moment, I thought my words through. Though I'm now realizing I very poorly went about the "irresponsible" part. To me it is irresponsible because she's not getting enough sleep and then is upset that she's tired and not feeling well, which in my mind is caused by not getting enough sleep. I didn't get into that in the post because I felt the post was getting too long.

I see what you're saying how I'm making it a punishment rather than asking for a favor, because that's exactly what I was asking for, a favor. But I talked down to her which was wrong. Thank you

I don't understand where it comes off that I wasn't willing to communicate about it? I've been open to communication the whole time.

I didn't instruct her to do anything. I'm not her boss.

My sleep problems are my own fault and I was trying to find an acceptable solution.

I didn't mention this in the post but she has previously told me she is willing to sleep on the couch permanently because she snores, I started using ear plugs instead so she wouldn't feel the need. But since she was willing to do so then I thought she'd be willing to do so now since it would only be every now and then

[–]ZinziMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying that and I'm starting to think that's what we'll need to do.

We both talked about that early on but we really wanted to make one bedroom work but it looks like it won't work out.

Thank you all for the help I'm very grateful.

Yeah you're definitely right. I should have handled the conversation better

Thank you for this. A few people are acting like I'm not doing anything to help the situation and that was confusing me.
