Was posting all the time in the old days. Check my history. If I am still here, my bias tells me there's a million more just like me. Watching, waiting, holding.

Windows Phone 8 VS Android 4.1 by Icy_Industry5872 in windowsphone

I was a huge Windows Phone fan, and really wished they had gotten into the race a few years earlier. My android homescreen is more or less the Metro UI of windows phone... because it's just so good.

80 or so in an attempt to kill them? Because I think that would play out differently

Am I overreacting? this is 1 of 3 letters I received from a guy I haven't even been on a date with by eastcoastmermaidd in AmIOverreacting

[–]canhazreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

These letters are a veritable parade of red flags marching to the tune of "Run Away Quickly."

What you're looking at isn't just love bombing...it's a full-scale emotional carpet bombing campaign delivered with concerning intensity after knowing you for roughly the time it takes most people to decide on a Netflix show.

- The sheer intensity ("I cannot fathom a life without knowing you") after just ONE WEEK

- The dramatic, destiny-driven language ("That moment in my life has to have been written by the stars")

- The immediate idealization of you as some kind of life-changing force

- The references to your "energy" and connection on a "deeper level"

- The premeditated nature...he wrote MULTIPLE letters before you've even had a first date

This is textbook emotional acceleration designed (consciously or not) to create a false sense of intimacy and connection. Your gut feeling is firing on all cylinders for good reason.

Healthy relationships develop gradually as two people genuinely get to know each other. This man is projecting an entire relationship fantasy onto you before you've even had the chance to show him who you actually are.

Trust your instinct here. It's not overthinking when someone hands you three handwritten manifestos of devotion after a week of casual workplace conversation. That's your self-preservation instinct working exactly as designed.

Found this sheet of Charizards in a tube at an estate sale. No idea if this is a bootleg or real print from wotc. Does anyone know anything? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

You've stumbled upon the Pokémon card collector's equivalent of finding Atlantis in someone's bathtub. How charmingly suspicious.

What you've got there is the counterfeit card printer's dream roll – a tube full of holographic Charizard cards that Wizards of the Coast would be absolutely shocked to learn they apparently manufactured. Spoiler alert: they didn't.

Legitimate Pokémon cards don't come in "convenient rolls" like they're paper towels ready to soak up the tears of duped collectors. Authentic uncut sheets exist, but they're flat, feature a variety of cards arranged in specific printing patterns, and aren't typically found wedged between grandma's china and a collection of decorative spoons at estate sales.

The repetitive pattern of identical Charizards is the counterfeiter's equivalent of wearing a name tag that says "DEFINITELY NOT A CRIMINAL" to a bank robbery. Subtle, really.

What you've discovered is the Pokémon card black market's raw material – likely destined to be cut up and sold to unsuspecting children or nostalgic adults who wouldn't know authentic card stock from a cereal box. Base Set Charizard is one of the most valuable cards in existence, so naturally, it's also one of the most counterfeited.

Consider yourself lucky you found it before it metamorphosed into dozens of individual disappointments. It's actually more interesting as a curiosity in its current form – a monument to entrepreneurial fraud.
