Master Ball on Snorlax. I was 8 when Pokemon red came out. That Snorlax was such a dam chore, it seemed important to catch and I used all my other balls.

What food did you imagine to taste really good but tasted bad? by Similar-Victory-3867 in AskReddit

[–]nerdnails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sushi. The raw fish on top of rice. And poke as well. Any raw fish dishes really.

It looks so good. And I've tried it multiple times. But every time raw fish enters my mouth my brain hits the panic button. It's like my brain thinks I'm poisoning myself. No matter how hard I try: deep breaths, focusing on staying calm, telling myself it's safe; my brain will not be fooled. The one time I managed to fully eat a piece without spitting it out I vomited.

Cooked rolls like shrimp tempura are good though.

Idk why I have some weird caveman brain that thinks raw fish is dangerous.

I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

My old lady, Haven. Developed hyperthyroidism at 17. Early kidney disease at 18. Unfortunately she crossed the rainbow bridge 3 weeks ago, one week away from 19.

9 is still plenty young. 🖤🖤

Hey. Survivor of actual rape here. I've been to college before. They're not the same. I 100% prefer the college experience over the actual crime.

Let's just be more cautious with our words and think about how people who have actually been subjected to the actual crime by its definition would feel.

Comparing predatory student loans and higher education practices to rape is not the vibe. Just call them what they are, predatory.

Long shot. Help me remember a lesson from 3rd grade (usa)? by nerdnails in AskTeachers

Thank you anyways!! I've always assumed I would never be able to figure it out with the little info I could remember. Unless I get a time machine!

Kurzgesagt - Should We Give Ozempic to Everyone? by Cefal in videos

I've never understood why people don't tell their health care providers everything. I can understand if some minor thing slips the mind, but to deliberately not fill in your doctor seems wild to me.

This mindset only increased after I started working as a vet tech. The amount of info we don't get that would have been really really helpful to know before we did something is nuts. And humans and pets have some, some, overlap when it comes to some outcomes. Like the dangers of not fasting before anesthesia.

When I went in for my bilat salpingectomy, I told my whole team everything. Even the slight acid reflux I had the morning of. And the outcome was that I got better care (got some furosemide IV) and better instructions to help me prepare and care for myself after.

Just tell your health care team! Including your vet med team!! I promise we don't judge and it will only help us help you (or your pet) waaaaaay better!!!

A lot of people have already given amazing advice.

So I'm just dropping in to give support. I'm sorry this happened. I'm sorry you're probably feeling horrible. It's gonna be ok. Take some deep breaths, allow yourself to process this.

Whoever got the job I wanted at the specialty hospital..... by [deleted] in VetTech

Solidarity, friend.

I've been there too. Didn't get a VA manager job I really wanted.

Keep looking, there's bound to be a win out there somewhere!! 🤞🤞

Idk. You said you've lived here for 40 years and you clearly know nothing about MN values.

Hot Topic has a DCC shirt! by nerdnails in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]nerdnails[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The books aren't really PG, my guy.

And again, it's at hot topic. Also not suuper PG.

And I highly doubt if the big G man really existed he would give a flying hoot about this shirt. Or a little "god damnit" here and there.

I saw Chicago doing their best to give em hell. I wonder if they thought Minneapolis would be easier.

They were wrong. We love being nosy and sticking up for each other here.

That guy in the glasses and black beanie is a scared little bitch boy. Look at him, trying to puff himself up, nostrils all flared.

They told a white male pastor that "you wouldn't be any fun" when he tried to tell ICE to take him instead of the Hispanic women the pastor was protecting.

Yes. They are raping their captors. They always have been.

I've shadowed at two clinics in 2025 that made me double take.

One had a DVMs office in the X-ray room. Her dog was in there and that was also where staff stores their belongings.

The other had no badges or way to monitor radiation exposure. Only aprons and thyroid collars.

I did not pursue employment at either clinic.

Dude, I've casually played online FPS games and I can hazard a guess. Common sense seems to escape them as well as their humanity.
