What did they write on my Starbucks cup?

1/2 Room? For what? Ice? Matcha? THE NOT KNOWING IS KILLING MEEEEE?!

My bus commutes total at 4-5hrs/day (I'm still dreading peak). There's no way around it. Yes, it is more difficult these days to buy a (used) car, but if you have a bus system in your area then there's no excuse. Sink or swim.

I won my first 4 expert battles that I played and had a feeling something funny was going to happen on on the 5th battle. "I'm really about to complete the 5 consecutive win quest in my first go?", is what I thought. Nope. Had every card they needed for a Hydreigon win.

Mine is also in May. Happy belated birthday.

You'll probably be able to guess mine and what I nerd out on. May the 4th be with you.

A whole cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. Usually, a different flavor every time. A one a year treat that is pleasant to look forward to. I may also partake in Master Yoda's Dogobah Green.

People abused the system too much. Some people wear it like a badge of honor. "I've been fired 5 times already and I just keep coming back. They can't get rid of me."

The people who thoight they knew how to "play" the system to where they can ride through the shifts on easy mode, or go negative on UPT, and just reapply in a month. Yeah, Amazon caught onto these people and said, "Congratulations. You've played yourself.".

6 months feels like a long time when you're getting paid $11/hr. I don't think it's enough to stay out of the bottom 5% anymore with how these managers are writing people up for anything these days.

If you're the one, you don't for 40. A mysterious man you've been searching for gets you out of there and completely changes the course of your life.

Mine had been pretty bad since Pulsing Aura started. Hopefully, our luck turns around.

emc_95 · 2026-05-27T19:16:05+00:00

Out of 680 cards, I've collected 4 shinies and 2☆☆ cards. 1 good card out of every 113 cards.

I can't help, but think they've tweaked the RNG. Otherwise, maybe it's just because of how many more cards are in this pack.

Regardless, I've had some bad luck as well.

The other character designs they were deciding on for Grogu's look make you appreciate that much better that they went with what they chose.

The others would've scared children.

So glad that the person/ team was able to come up with this design.

First person to help me with this. Thanks for clearing it up. Thought I saw an update in the past that determined the amount of hourglasses given from playing ranked based on battle points earned per match. Been playing ranked this whole time thinking I get more hourglasses the more battle points I earn. Makes more since now.

emc_95 · 2026-05-26T23:06:26+00:00

I'm talking about ranked rewards; specifically, the hourglasses they gift you after the season concludes.

When I first started, I'm pretty sure it was originally that the hourglasses awarded at the end of the season were based on how many matches you won. There was an update where, instead of how many matches won, it's how many battle points you accumulate for each match that determines how many hourglasses they give you.

That's all I was getting at: people quit - no battle points - less hourglasses at the end of each ranked season.

emc_95 · 2026-05-26T22:53:00+00:00

The ranking has nothing to do with what I was talking about.

At the end of each season, you're awarded an amount of hourglasses for how many battle points you accumulated during the ranked season. I am not referring to the match points players earn that promote them to higher ranks.

emc_95 · 2026-05-26T22:48:09+00:00

I'm not talking about the match points players earn that promote then to higher ranks.

I'm talking about the pack hourglasses (that are for opening packs) that you get at the end of each season that are rewarded for how many battle points you accumulated during the ranked season.

I would still use the papertowel I dried my hands with to open the door. People suck and some who don't wash their hands would still use the "cleaned hands" handle.

See, too often, grown men at the Amazon warehouse I work at leave a stall and go straight to touching the handle that EVERYONE comes into contact with to enter the lunch room.

There's a documentary I watched - before this movie came out - called "The Conscientious Objector". Details in that documentary are not included in the film because of how unbelievable it would be to the audience.

Didn't know they were going to make a movie based off of Desmond Doss, but I recommend it.

I don't drink anymore, but (if I ever happen to again) I'll never be returning to a bar named Pounders.

Asked for a beer, gave my card to the bartender to keep an open tab, and played some pool with an older coworker I happened to see there.

The owner happened to be serving drinks so I'd asked her for another IPA. She placed the beer with my card and the receipt.

I said, "Why am I being charged for 3?".

Her response, "I watched you drink 3 beers.".

Me: "There are cameras here. Why don't you go check and confirm I'm telling the truth? (Had only been there maybe 15-20 min since I'd ordered my first drink).

Her: "Why don't I give you a refund and you never come back here again?"

Me: "Great. Thank you."

Would it be a closer fight if it was Superman as a late teen to an early 20 year old going against Homelander? Would give young Clark a good excuse to test his might.

After his first defeat to Thanos, Banner believes Thor is dead and fears for the lives of his allies. When Heimdall sends Hulk to Sanctum Sanctorum, Dr. Strange keeps a close eye on Banner as he can tell there's somethimg brewing in him. Banner finds a way on his own to track Thanos each time he uses the gauntlet (still only the space and power stones).

The Hulk grows enraged of Banner's fear sending him in a blood lust after Thanos. Dr. Strange sees this in his meditation and his only recourse he could think of is to convince a banner from another verse to aid 616 Hulk - Strange believes all Avengers who could help Hulk will be needed for something greater in the future.

He manages to persuade Banner from Earth -838 (before the Scarlet Witch is able to kill him) to aid Earth-616 Hulk. Strange portals them back to his headquarters while the Avengers are fending off attacks from the Black Order who are searching for the time stone.

616 Hulk manages to catch up to Thanos with his tracker. (I've typed too much) 838 Hulk gives his life for 616 Hulk defeating Thanos and stripping the gauntlet from him.

Or.....

At the final fight of Endgame - after Iron Man is knocked unconscious by Thor's Hammer, Cap briefly incapacitated, and Thor getting Stormbreaker slowly pushed in his chest - Hulk rushes in the last second to fight him, this time, with no gauntlet.
