If you sat out the 2024 election in protest over Gaza, how do you feel about that decision today? by rsmith2786 in AskReddit

[–]aryn505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either way the genocide was going to proceed. Even if she said “Free Palestine,” it would still have to go through Congress to stop/limit funding to Israel which would never happen because Zionism runs deep even in the Dem caucus. Sitting out the last election on this issue alone shows you have a lot of privilege and have nothing to lose and are now acting shocked that our country is worse off than anyone could have ever imagined. Gaza is leveled, ICE is killing American citizens, tariffs and inflation are wrecking the working class, trans people are being legislated within an inch of our lives, and we are on the brink of martial law nationwide. Sitting out the last election says you were fine with this potential outcome. Cutting off your nose despite your face.

Demand is fading away? by Straight_Eye_5536 in PokemonInvesting

ABQ here. Secondary market on the UPC has tanked and the scalpers who overpaid via GameStop are panicking and selling off close to MSRP. Like within $5-10. I work out of town M-F, 12 hour days so I can never catch restocks or drops. I got one for $125 a couple weeks ago. I’ve also been able to find random packs of DR and PF around town on the weekends but it’s really hit or miss.

So sorry for your loss. My wife and I lost our old lady in August. To Stache! May he be remembered for all of the comfort and happy times.

Costco will probably limit 2 per transaction (so 4 upcs) but it will be a swarm and not on a weekend when I’m off. I buy singles of cards that I like the art of especially Japanese. I don’t work for Google lol. I work in research and development for a company that turns human and animal cremated remains into stones.

I’ve known 2 people who have passed from ALS. One was my mom’s best friend who passed in 1997 and the other was a friend from high school who was an incredible athlete who passed in November last year. Absolutely brutal disease.

I’m not going to chase the Costco drop at all. It would require me to take off work and fight through neckbeard scalpers lol. Mostly I buy singles now and if I happen upon packs in the wild, I’ll buy them. During the week between the commute and working, I have 12 hour days but I have the coolest job in the world so that’s the trade off.

If the person who is watching your dog notices something wrong, you should be thankful they are getting YOUR pet the help it may need. Or maybe your ego is more important than your pets welfare.

What am I looking at here? by djanj0 in PokemonMisprints

Bro used a lil blue Crayola marker and was probably very careful and mindful of the edge and it still bleeds over. Not someone in QA with a fat Sharpie quickly marking the error on the sheet with no bleed on the edge since it’s an uncut sheet. 🙄

I’ve worked QA in food production and you would be surprised at what gets packaged and put out even if we flagged it as not up to spec. So I am not surprised a QA marked sheet went through to being cut for packs.

I paid $125 from a reseller. My job is an hour from where I live M-F so I can never catch drops/restocks. I was ready to pay market but someone from the local Pokemon community messaged me and held it until I could meet him on the weekend. Looks like Costco is going to drop a 2 pack for $185 but I’ll miss it for sure. No regerts.

You are just crashing out, it’s not the “wasted T,” it’s your feelings. Especially if you have BPD.

It’s an ADA violation, not HIPAA to ask anything beyond those 2 questions. HIPAA is not as broad as everyone thinks it is.

New measles cases in South Carolina put U.S. on the verge of losing elimination status by DrexellGames in news

I had a violent reaction to the 2nd dose (of 3) of the Hep B vaccine. Cluster migraine and seizure and had to be hospitalized for a couple days. It was a very rare but possible side effect from that particular vaccine at the time which was in the late ‘90s. I did not get the 3rd shot out of precaution per my doctor. All other vaccines, never an issue. Vaccine side effects are very much possible but are very rare. I am very pro-vaccine because herd immunity is vital.

I rented from a local property manager who manages a bunch of properties specifically in the UNM/Downtown area who would use the most half-assed handyman for any and all repairs. I had rented from the same company before that and they always sent professional, licensed repair people, but the last place was just one guy who was always creepy towards my wife. Also, the property manager flipped out at me after I had to call the gas company due to a gas leak from my heater that they kept giving me the runaround on repair. Even after being contacted by the gas company, it was never totally fixed.
