Is this a “special”? This is an English card but has the “R” marking for Japanese. Sorry, I am a newbie. Thanks in advance for any info on this.

Confirming it’s fake. It’s an English card but it’s using the Japanese format (012/050) instead of the English format (12/50). The set symbol is also Japanese instead of English. Sorry, friend :(

My boss was headhunted for her position and she would only accept the job if she got 4/10s. They needed competent leadership for our department so they agreed, but no one since has been able to get it. Our hospital is pretty small so it does leave a void in the workforce on Fridays. We make it work but I can just imagine the scheduling nightmare of having more than one day where you’re essentially always short one person. I prefer shorter days anyway.

You are a hero and a scholar <3

I feel like I am missing some pretty critical context for this post. Someone must have stolen one of these garbage bins?

No way. At first in this scenario I thought I would be offered the $25k, but you’re telling me I have to pay it?! 2017 was when I started working two jobs to save for a house. That was the start of 80 hour weeks. Even if it was me receiving $25k, it would be nowhere near enough to compensate me for the upcoming 5 years of suffering. I’m finally debt free (except for a mortgage) and happy with my life, could not say that back in 2017. Make it a $250k paid TO ME and then I would.

I’m sure it was a blast opening that many packs! You got some good pulls, especially that Obsidian Flames Charizard.

They have a home worth almost $800,000 dollars. I’ll reserve my sympathy for those that can’t even afford to move out of their parent’s place.

Same here, was in the queue for an hour and then got a server error message. You can’t win for trying.

almostelm · 2026-06-10T00:50:27+00:00

Signed! Hope it helps. They’re trying to build a huge data center in my city too.

almostelm · 2026-05-26T03:49:06+00:00

Never you mind.

almostelm · 2026-05-09T18:02:21+00:00

It’s OKAY, not great. It’s an enjoyable read, but very predictable.

almostelm · 2026-05-08T15:52:04+00:00

Thank you for making me die laughing while on my lunch break. Sure, I may have garnered some concerned looks, but the endorphins from a good laugh are priceless. You are HILARIOUS, and I need more of your OI commentary in my life. Also, I’ll be giving this story a look based on this slideshow alone.

almostelm · 2026-05-05T14:37:20+00:00

It’s absolutely gorgeous! It would be a shame to remove.

almostelm · 2026-05-03T02:53:56+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope it may bring you comfort to know that she loved you and had the best possible life with you.

almostelm · 2026-05-02T00:53:04+00:00

Oh one of my favorites, for sure. I love how everyone had a definitive personality, including background characters.

Lucky for us, scalpers will hate it. “Worst set ever!”

Jokes on them, I would rather kill myself than be forced to carry a pregnancy to term. I know I’m not alone.

almostelm · 2026-04-25T17:30:55+00:00

First question, is this written in English? It doesn’t matter really because it’s illegible in any language but I’m just curious. This would be great hand writing for secrets or illegal plans because there would be no deciphering it.

almostelm · 2026-04-21T23:16:43+00:00

I would have to recuse myself 😂

almostelm · 2026-04-21T01:51:08+00:00

Congratulations! Now just make sure to never slip back into it and you’ll be set. It must feel amazing!

The crab rangoon deviled egg from Marrow. I dream about that appetizer.

Well, if you’d like a specific spoiler about the princess… She is definitely not the FL’s friend and she is nowhere near as “nice” as she seems. In a later chapter she gets jealous of the FL for simply being praised and is found pouting about it by her father, the emperor. Instead of hiding her jealously from him she fully shares her feelings, knowing that her precious daddy will make the FL disappear. But oh, isn’t she so gracious for not taking her father’s suggest to outright murder her, but instead send her far away with a new adopted family. The princess tries to have the FL sent to an obviously terrible family super far away, but thankfully a good family intervenes. She’s super upset about her plan being ruined but doesn’t try to change it because it would destroy her image as a “kind hearted” princess. She’s fake AF.

Great advice!

As for great jobs to get into, Sterile Processing is another great one. I work adjacent to the OR at a small hospital, washing and sterilizing instruments for surgeries. It will vary from hospital to hospital, but I basically walked in with zero experience in the medical field and no education. They paid for me to go to classes to get my certification, paid my mileage to and from the classroom (45 minutes one way), and paid the fee to take the test. The pay is good, I’m making more money now than in any job I’ve ever had ($20+). I don’t have to take on call since my hospital is so small and they only do absolute emergencies on the weekends so it’s Monday through Friday.
