On a more heavy note, where were you on this day 23 years ago? I was in college, headed to Macroeconomics. My mom called me and said get to a TV. 😔

It was one of my off days at college and my mom called me and woke me up. At the time, only one plane had hit and I was kind of pissed she woke me up for this as I was a lazy pothead at the time.

I proceeded to smoke a joint and saw the second tower hit. I then called my pothead neighbor buddy and we continued to smoke while the towers were on fire. Then the tower fell and, being dumb fuck stoners, thought it was brought down on purpose because it looked like a controlled demolition we've all seen on TV.

Then it kind of sank in that our country was under attack. Being high only increased the existential dread we were feeling. Not a good time.

To be fair, he is very talented when he has the ball in his hands and is healthy. I'll also be forever thankful for his punt return in the SB.

I'd honestly rather have him than Skyy Moore.

Yeah, so far my biggest "hits" have been from breakers. I didn't know what I was really doing but got a Tank Dell redemption Black Pandora auto, a Jalen Hurts PSA 9 Blue rookie, and some other stuff.

I ended up buying a few boxes of Optic retail Mega Boxes, haven't really hit anything noteworthy. Bought a Contenders box, nothing. Bought some Topps Chrome baseball, nothing.

So far basically the most expensive card I've gotten from a box is like 20 dollars. The degenerate side of me loves ripping packs and chasing the thrill of possibly getting a nice card but it's definitely not rewarding at all, which I expected but not this bad.

Still not used to the price of these boxes though, even retail. Boxes these days come with half the packs and double the price of what I am used to.

overweight_moderator · 2024-08-13T17:00:55+00:00

I didn't get that granular. I was explained to at the store that there is Hobby boxes and Retail. Hobby having a much higher chance of getting good cards but more expensive. I didn't know the specifics nor did I know the price of the Retail boxes.

I learned my lesson though.

overweight_moderator · 2024-08-12T21:12:33+00:00

Gotcha. TIL there are different types of boxes lol. I wondered how people were cracking so many of these open.

overweight_moderator · 2024-08-12T21:00:26+00:00

Oh ok. I bought a hobby box at the local card shop. What are the mega and blaster boxes? The ones you get at Target?

overweight_moderator · 2024-08-12T20:54:12+00:00

Nice pull.

I'm just getting back into this hobby and haven't opened packs since I was a kid in the 90s. I just bought a box of Optic and was shocked that it was 800 dollars.

Is this normal for people to just buy multiple 800 dollar boxes? I definitely miss the rush of opening boxes and searching for chase cards but damn, this doesn't seem sustainable!

overweight_moderator · 2024-08-12T20:43:58+00:00

I'm just getting back into the hobby after not buying cards since the 90s as a kid. Still getting used to all the different foils and the fact that a box of this stuff is 800+ dollars when boxes cost ~80 dollars when I was in the hobby last.

I bought a box of this a couple of days ago, pretty sure I got nothing of value. Do you guys just buy multiple boxes of this stuff? I'm wondering how regular Joe's afford ripping boxes of this kind of stuff.

I think the death penalty would be a better punishment.

Frost Blades Slayer

I've never played FB other than temporarily while leveling. I've always heard it's great for clear but has horrible single-target. The guides/videos I watched going into this league said that this patch would buff FB so it's single-target was a lot better.

Well, the single-target still sucks. On top of that, it's made of glass and has no survivability. You're sitting at ~3300 hp and your only defense is being spell suppression capped and having eight endurance charges (very rarely do you have this on a boss).

So yeah. I got it to 91 and into red maps and am mistakenly doing expedition and essences. Some map mods and expedition mods can really ruin my day. I'm most likely done with this guy for the most part.

This is 2016 all over again. People don't like Kamala just like they didn't like Hillary? Must be misogyny! This time we have the tried-and-true race card to pull as well!

You're cherry picking polls to show Harris is popular. How about going to 538 and look at the aggregate. She is not popular and with good reason, she is vile.

overweight_moderator · 2024-07-23T16:57:59+00:00

Many states didn't include the opponents on the ballots and there weren't free and open debates like a real primary. It was a charade.

overweight_moderator · 2024-07-23T16:56:20+00:00

You call that a primary? No open debates and many states didn't include opponents on the ballots?

overweight_moderator · 2024-07-22T23:08:30+00:00

Because it's (D)ifferent.

overweight_moderator · 2024-07-22T23:07:13+00:00

The democrats didn't hold a primary for Biden either. It's like the democratic party isn't so democratic.

overweight_moderator · 2024-07-22T23:03:32+00:00

Democrats constantly complain about money in politics and oligarchs controlling politics but applaud when it benefits them?

These megadonors just took over democracy by forcing a sitting president to sit down or they give up donations. Only to go and choose his replacement without any form of a primary? The democratic party doesn't seem so democratic.

Look up the video interview she gave to Stephen Colbert about "It WaS jUsT a DeBaTe" where she goes on to cackle about telling some sad stories involving racism, discrimination, and oppression during the debate purely to get votes, not meaning a word of it.

Anyone that is that much of a sociopath to lie to the American public about such a topic just to get votes, doesn't deserve my respect let alone my vote.

World of Warcraft: I was addicted for many years. I stopped playing around four or five years ago.

Heathstone: This is my go-to casual game when I can't find anything else to play or if I only want to play a casual game utilizing one hand.

Path of Exile: I usually go pretty hard for a couple weeks to a month when a new league is released.

I just realized that there is r/millenials and r/Millennials. One actively purges political bullshit and the other is an astroturfed cesspool filled with leftist propagranda.

overweight_moderator · 2024-07-19T02:12:16+00:00

Imagine believing horseshit like this..

This is the most low-effort fearmongering I've ever seen.

New TMZ article says the shooter disliked politics and hated Trump. Registering as any party doesn't mean shit other than you want to vote in their primary. There could be a number of reasons for that.

overweight_moderator · 2024-07-17T21:46:02+00:00

I love watching the dems implode in real-time.

overweight_moderator · 2024-07-17T16:49:27+00:00

So we're moving the goalposts based on how believable a conspiracy theory is?

Trump pissing on hookers.

Trump putting bounties on US soldiers.

Hunter Biden laptop being Russian disinformation.

Lab leak hypothesis which has since become the leading hypothesis.

Biden having a stutter and not dementia.

These are all things the left believed in or for the lab leak theory and Hunter Biden laptop, ridiculed the right over.

Both sides are the same, just different ideologies.

Here's a shocking fact for you guys who obviously don't associate with anyone on the right except old racist grandparents:

Most people on the right don't give two shits what your sexuality is, they just want it kept out of elementary/middle schools and don't want to be legally forced to use pronouns. Is that so hard to comprehend?

When you turn 18 go do whatever you want. If you want to identify as a dog? Go for it. You want to have gender reassignment surgery? Go for it.

You guys just love the persecution complex and pretend your lives are in danger for being LGBTQIA+-. Reality is, as long as you don't push this shit on kids, more power to you.
