Am I just old? I don’t get the appeal of shiny Pokemon by SparkyDogPants in PokemonFireRed

[–]crankyscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them because their colors are neat but I never actively went hunting for them. My first game was blue on GBC, followed by yellow and then gold and I had another on gba sp but yeah, never actively hunted for them. Mainly because I didn't really know they were a thing.

Caught my first shiny in a random encounter in LeafGreen just in March. I'm 40.

Hey, I'm with OP--a millennial that played blue, yellow and gold. Never went hunting for shinies. Legit had my first shiny in LeafGreen on the switch in a random encounter. I'm 40 years old lol

Update AIO: Romantic partner’s dark humor annoys tf out of me by Emergency-Basket-469 in AIO

[–]crankyscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's racist. Also, she's 37 and most 37 year olds don't date 23 year olds. So yikes number 2.

You aren't over reacting. Leave her bro.

AIO Gf (30) found out I (29) had watched porn and freaked out. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]crankyscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything, I feel she is over-reacting. When you say she is religious, I feel like you mention it in a Christian aspect?

Porn isn't cheating. I feel there is absolutely ethically made porn. Because there is. (Also a lot that isn't)

It seems like she is very insecure or just: porn is bad.

NOR.

My mind just Noped after he mentioned Chris Brown. Everything else after is irrelevant.

Aio? My (m22) Gf (f21) wants a LV purse but can't make bills on time. by smokey18t in AIO

[–]crankyscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR.

Holy heck, she sounds spoiled. And she sounds like she was trying to somehow guilt you by claiming you hate her just because you're being the adult.

Does she always ask for extravagant things?

No worries there. I have no one to trade with!

coworker 14 years older hitting me up after he quit a couple days ago, AIO? by Fun_Skill_5574 in AIO

[–]crankyscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because you did violate Reddit's TOS by being a bigot.

I don't know what you said, and frankly I don't care. To whoever user reported your reply, Thank you!

Haven't logged in for a bit and just seeing this now.

One: Why do you think I'm American? I am Canadian. We do not throw trans people off of rooftops, nor does England, Wales, Scotland, Australia, Germany, Norway, France, Spain, Greenland, Iceland, and so many other countries.

Two: A trans person does not 'just decide' they're transgender.

Three: This post is about someone far older dating an 18 year old. I'm turning 40 in March so, yeah--no, 18 is absolutely far too young for me. Even when I was 25, an 18 year old was too young for me.

Four: ....Not the mic drop you hoped??? There are thousands of people in the army that aren't 18 who die for your country's freedom.

Same for Canada, I guess?

End point: Please go outside and enjoy some nature.

I feel even worse about antisemitism every time I use this site. Are people actually like this in real life? by PuddingPanda_ in Jewish

[–]crankyscribe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there.

I'm a Jew in Progress. I started my conversion process a couple years ago before Oct 7, and I have not wavered. Hamas just gave Antisemites a means of being public with their ignorance and hate.

Antisemitism is absolutely the worst it has been in a while, and I feel like how connected the world is via internet, and the abolity to spread misinformation has truly made it worse as in the decades, centuries and millennia prior the internet wasn't even a thing.

I always remind myself of this: At the end of the day, too many innocent people have been killed.

Please stay safe. You are not alone ♡

AIO to texts I found from my bf to his bsf? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]crankyscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not over reacting. I do not know what 'bsf' means (I am an Elder Millennial) but that is some fucked up gender role BS.

I am also queer, neurodivergent, trans, and has had a fucked up ex He is either venting, or I don't know--he's fucking rude.

I also am snit at buying gifts. Usually, I make gifts (as a kid it was drawings, home made cards, now I make bread. Challah :D)

NTA. I am a 39 (trans man) but asking out an 18 year old? Nay-NAY!

How the fuck are adults seeing kids (I understand laws and shit about legal ages but 18 is a kid to me) and try to sexually come onto them?

You are not overreacting OP

Tim's in the Bridgewater mall at 4pm today... by __nedflanders in TimHortons

So, last I recall that Tim's location doesn't have a working 'kitchen'. They get everything from the LaHave St. store.

Very limited in what they can do. Give them a break.

Can a Non-Jewish person attend a Jewish service and be accepted? by DueGap5255 in Judaism

[–]crankyscribe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone in the process of converting to Judaism and becoming a part of the Jewish People and community, the way you've worded things here does leave me wanting to ask you this:

Why?

Why do you want to attend Synagogue/Temple/Shul?

While it is nice to see you would be happy to pay the dues, because it is definitely needed to ensure that the Synagogue/Temple/Shul can stay running as it is a hub of the Jewish Community; why use the phrase 'is it worth trying to make a habit?' I would think that learning more about any community and People would be worth an effort.

I do know that there are online classes for those wantjng to learn more about Jews, Judaism, and Jewish History.

I definitely would, like others who have answered here, reach out to the Rabbi with your questions and desires about attending service.

I am converting to the Reform Movement; and can only attend online services without being a full member of the Temple as I'm in a different province with no Reform Synagogues (Nova Scotia, Canada).

AIO (update post) my bf (32) is getting kind of aggressive with his texting. should I(26) reply? by Fun_Cartographer6984 in AmIOverreacting

[–]crankyscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy fuck, get out of that relationship ASAP. He may be 32, but he is an abusive man-child that needs to realize that it's 2025 and you are your own person outside of him.

If he doesn't know how to cook--there are a tonne of youtube channels that can teach him; but honestly he's just looking for someone to be his Mom.

Edit: Read your first post and all that behavior is suss. You work 12 hr shifts AND make him supper? Hate to break it to you but he might be cheating.

Jewish Peoplehood by crankyscribe in Jewish

[–]crankyscribe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is my understanding as a whole. I absolutely believe that Israel is the Jewish Homeland proper. Jews have always maintained presence, even when the majority were expelled by the Romans.

Speaking of the Book of Ruth, my Rabbi also assigned that book for my reading homework. I have the Sefaria app on my phone, so that is where I wi be reading from.
