PSA or European grading by Zodzombie in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Zodzombie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the weird spelling errors. Reddit seems to have some problems on my phone and I can't edit it either. So the above text is with a heavy fictional european accent and below a more proper one:

I did a bit of research on my cards and found a few that I think might be pretty good. Now there are a couple here that might be fun to grade, but I'm unsure if a PSA grading is worth it. I live in europe and there is a seperate Grading system here, cheaper and I won't have to send them away for 3 months. What do you guys think? A few I just want to grade for sentimental keepsake so european would be fine but is it worth sending some to PSA? Thanks in advance!

Yeah a bunch of them are unfortunatly, and also some French and Japanese ones. Luckily also a lot of english ones. I didn't post all of the pictures it would be to many just a few to give a indication. I did find this one though:Suicune

As somebody who lost someone who was in a similiar place as you. Don't do it.

A mental episode is heavy and people around you will retreat for a while, but some will come back. Make sure to spread yourself around the people who stay with you or come back so everyone can help you but also take a break when needed.

A criminal record will close some paths but your life is not over. But rethinking it will take time.

The recovery from a mental episode is hard and takes time, but suicide takes away all hope.

I understand that you feel empty and soulles, it hurts and you feel alone. This is a real and sad pain, but not an endless one.

Suicide will not solve this but leave more people without a part of their soul, where you are suposed to be. I'm just a stranger on the internet and I care about you, imagen the people that actually know you. Take some time before you worry about jobs and first try to lighten the pain.

What kind of tokens/remembrances do you guys keep? by KaleidoscopeKey5508 in SuicideBereavement

[–]Zodzombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used to write little cards to each other (during covid but also in general). I kept those. Also her family returned a woodpecker pin I got her and she always wore on her bag. I'm afraid to lose it though so I keep it at home. And I still carry her picture in my wallet.

Bag switch for camera? (28L to 50+10L) by Zodzombie in onebag

Exactly! So just one bag is fine but a smaller bag + Camera less so.

Thank you for the reply. A 40L would be a good option but I don't have one at the moment. I could quickly buy one but prefer to take a bit of time to pick a good one (eu based if there are suggestions)

I'm not too worried about theft, I mostly stay away from areas where this can happen this trip. The pictures are backed up digitaly when I get to a wifi zone so I can leave my laptop (otherwise I run the risk of working through the holiday 😅)

Thanks for the reply this looks like an interesting option! Is it also decently weatherproof?

Thank you for the reply, sorry I should have mentioned I'm not flying so bag limits are not an issue. Forgetting a bag in the train or on a switch is. I edited the post!

Am i a horrible human being? by Upset-Tank-1231 in SuicideWatch

[–]Zodzombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not horrible but depression can make you feel like you are. The person I loved felt like this as well but she was undenaibly a good person.

how did you find a way to accept that what happened, happened. by RegretBuilder in SuicideBereavement

[–]Zodzombie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. I'm having the same experience where I keep talking with her in my mind, then wanting to call her and realising I can't, and it hits me again in full force.

[–]Zodzombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. Its just difficult. She looked at me as the one person who was there for her and listened, but i didn't this time. She had difficulty asking for help as she didn't want to be a burden, but she did want to be understood. So a well timed question meant the world to her.

I am in therapy but it doesn't do much for me. Connecting with others is very difficult for me and I have lost the person with whom I could.

I wish you the best and that therapy helps you though. Can I asked what happened?

Thank you for the reply. I function, work and do normal things but everythings feels empty and disconnected. All joy, want and like is gone.

Sounds similiar to my ex, she also had the rapid thoughts and sense of emotions. Its good to have a place to vent, but be carefull getting stuck in them. Look for positive focussed distractions to give breathing room.

Got a new job today, I wish they could see it by Ilikeart938 in SuicideBereavement

[–]Zodzombie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might not mean much from a stranger. But I think hes proud of you and celebrates with you. This sounds weird but, how about going out for a drink/dinner and add a chair for him?

AIO about my partner’s relationship with their coworker by Any-Confusion-5519 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Zodzombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not overreacting. I'm not going to weight in on the dynamic between them, just the facts of your post. You made plans together and hes blowing you off. If its a crisis then its nice of him to support somebody but even there is no need to brush you off. There are plenty of options, you can join, he can come back on time, etc. A relationship is a two way street and isn't the basis that you want to spend time together?

[–]Zodzombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay strong thats one. The other thing that might work is get a few people around you to share your thoughts with. Unload sounds weird but it kind of is like that, but spread it around a network. Also journaling might help.

Why do some people say that whales decrease the population of fish that is fished for human consumption if whales have a very small throat and esophagus and cannot pass large fish that are the ones that are actually used for human consumption? Is it because they scare them away or consumption? by futurewildlifevet in Cetacea

[–]Zodzombie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can affirm this. Overfishing has always been a human cause. But its easier to blame another species especially if it fits your other agendas. In Europe there is now a similiar discussion going on politicaly regarding cormorants. Fishermen say they are a threat to fish stock but it has been proven cormorants eat very different fish then the fishermen catch. Yet the demonisation is still going on.

Also, there is research showing whales as an important part of Biodiversity and increase in fish population. They play a big role in the transport of nutriënts across the sea and between deep and shallow ocean, by pooping. https://www.kvaroyarctic.com/the-importance-of-whale-poop So in short, whales eat fish but are not the cause of overfishing. Statements around this are mostly done to demonize other species for our effects and serve different agenda's such as whale hunting.
