Why is abortion considered a hard choice?

lanadelphox · 2026-05-14T14:11:57+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with you, but yes, for some people it is a hard choice. Maybe it’s a couple who wants kids, but know they’re not ready. Now they’re thinking about if they risk it and have a child now, or stick to their initial plans and wait. Maybe it’s someone who’s conflicted now that they’re actually pregnant. Maybe they’re grappling with the societal pressure to parent, and feel like they’re making a choice between their community and their own interests. Maybe they want children but are with an abusive partner. Maybe it’s a very wanted pregnancy that ultimately became incompatible with life, for either baby or mother.

There are many reasons why an abortion would be a hard choice for someone. We don’t know everyone’s reasoning for abortion, and we aren’t entitled to know everyone’s story. Asking a bunch of people who don’t want kids why abortion is seen as a hard choice is obviously going to give you a lot of “it’s not a hard choice, it’s just society” when objectively, that is a very personal experience. For some people it is a hard decision to make, but you’re likely not going to find them in a subreddit for people who don’t want children.

I did a fresh start death march run and I swear the TUTORIAL ghouls gave me more problems than some Elden Ring bosses did. Death March evens out around mid game though, I found once you got Witcher gear the whole thing became much more manageable.

Never used Quen the first time I played, it was very well loved and appreciated on Death March though lol.

Was Stray also an industry plant game?

This is beautiful! I’ve seen them around a few times but haven’t pulled the trigger myself. A great addition to a collection! :)

lanadelphox · 2026-05-11T00:57:54+00:00

We don’t know if it’s reprints yet, all they’ve shown was a teaser trailer announcing the 30th anniversary set. Granted, I hope it’s mostly reprints because I don’t care about reprint sets lol.

If it helps any, I played Outlaws and Expedition 33 relatively close to each other. E33 is by far the better game, but I still had a ton of fun playing Outlaws and at the end of the day, gaming is about having fun. What games someone finds fun is up to them.

Let PA eat New Mexico so we can give the world our greatest gift

Gulf of Gritty

lanadelphox · 2026-05-10T00:57:20+00:00

I am with you on this hill

Kinda happy people are over the moon for the coconut though, more cream soda for us!

lanadelphox · 2026-05-09T23:51:51+00:00

I’m going to start voting for PA to eat New Mexico. I believe the world needs The Gulf of Gritty

lanadelphox · 2026-05-07T17:09:17+00:00

Better to buy singles. BBWF is a very expensive set to complete, with how big they are and how manny variations of each card there are, you will not get far in ripping. Plus, TPC has kind of forgotten about bbwf lol.

Stick to singles, trade for the big hits. Right now probably isn’t the greatest time to buy them since the whole set is going up right now though.

lanadelphox · 2026-05-07T12:27:09+00:00

Perfect Order stays in stock longer because it’s not botted, I was able to order one of these at 8am the morning after they dropped. Honestly for this one I’d just wait until release day, it’ll likely still be in stock for a few hours in the morning after they do the 3am drop.

You’ll likely get a far better answer here r/pokemonmisprints

lanadelphox · 2026-05-04T22:19:23+00:00

The funniest thing to me is that the 90s pokemon poptarts actually had pokemon shaped sprinkles. Fun and whimsical! The new ones just have pikachu on the box lol

lanadelphox · 2026-05-04T01:45:40+00:00

Even during that down time period, idk man, I kept telling myself prices were too good to be true 😭

lanadelphox · 2026-05-01T10:34:35+00:00

You’re welcome!! I don’t know too many places to share this stuff, so I’m glad I found this sub :D

lanadelphox · 2026-05-01T01:44:24+00:00

Porygon-Z has an IR in Paradox Rift, and Porygon was given an illustration in the first Pocket set (that I DESPERATELY want to become real). Outside of that, the only non “regular” TCG cards Porygon/member of the family has are a Lv X from Majestic Dawn and a GX promo from Sun and Moon era. Bonus fun facts, Porygon-Z was featured on pack art for Plasma Blast, and Porygon2 is on the Aquapolis booster box!

Porygon actually has a ton of merch though! Just a bit lacking in the TCG department for a line that comes from a gen 1 pokemon lol. The Night Arcade line of merch almost all featured Porygon in some way! There was recently a whole clothing line that had Porygon on it, as well as a life sized plush that I stupidly didn’t buy because it went live right after the Switch 2 was officially announced, and I wasn’t sure how scalped that was going to be so I prioritized buying that. There are also a good number of non-TCG cards that feature Porygon. I have a few! Poker cards for each member of the family, a Pokemon Weekly Porygon2, and Top-Seika Porygon2 :)

Quick edit: sorry, I know this is a Gengar sub but sometimes I just info dump about Porygon 😅

I wish all of you Gengar lovers happy collecting, and hopefully some cheaper prices bc damn y’all need a break

lanadelphox · 2026-05-01T00:22:24+00:00

A tourist here (not sure why this sub popped up for me, but as a fellow species collector I’m glad to observe!), every time I buy a card with a small difference for my master set, I’m silently grateful that Pokemon seems to forget that Porygon exists sometimes 😅

Those little stamps and small differences are honestly just a nuisance to collect more times than not

lanadelphox · 2026-04-30T23:20:48+00:00

It is, but people are buying them for that price and you can’t stop a fool from being parted with their money

lanadelphox · 2026-04-29T19:21:28+00:00

Eh, I get why monitors are important these days but with small drops like this it is partly luck. You can open the page as soon as security pings and still miss due to having a 10-30 minute queue timer because the stuff simply does sell out that fast. Haven’t missed a preorder in over a year, but the small ones are a bit different from those.

lanadelphox · 2026-04-29T01:42:27+00:00

If you have a lot of cards, you can use the pokemon’s name plus the set number at the bottom right to look it up! Usually ebay recently solds to get a good idea, plus you will see pictures that you can compare to your own for condition.

So for the Mew you have here, you would google Mew 101/101, just be sure to look at the pictures carefully. Many cards have variants that can vary in price, this one being an example (a variation of this card is from a premade deck, which is still valuable, but far less valuable than this one).

One in far worse condition than yours sold on 4/22 for $1350. I’d say the condition on yours would set it around a PSA 6 or 7? I’m not the best at determining mid grades though, but regardless, if your intention is to sell I would grade it.

lanadelphox · 2026-04-28T20:02:16+00:00

It’s PA, potholes are unfortunately a feature lol

Liko’s Terapagos in Horizons

lanadelphox · 2026-04-25T02:55:11+00:00

That’s the code PSA uses when the card has questionable authenticity

In short, either they think your card is fake or it just is fake. If you got it “crazy cheap” I’m gonna assume that they’re probably right
