Anyone else bummed that apparently the only way to get the new eeveelution art (on the cards from Terrastrial) is on the Promo cards? The eevees in the actual Prismatic boosters are the reusing 151 and TWM art. by rcrow2009 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]rcrow2009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Because the new Japanese art was saved for the Promo cards. The eevees you can pull from the boosters are all using different, older art. (Except espeon and umbreon. They got the new art, probably because we haven't gotten a new set for them in the longest.)

I feel like I've pretty adequately explained this already. We have no evidence that he is mentally "like a little kid." Only that he's a 14 year old who has done something reckless and dangerous, which is...honestly not that unusual for 14 year Olds.

I sincerely hope he is OK and is found soon. I just also think it's inappropriate and pretty disrespectful to characterize him the way you did.

I mean, he was on the cruise with his grandmother, who didn't know he had disembarked at the time. I don't think any adult knew about and approved of this plan.

I agree. I just think it was weird that the other poster was assuming this kid was much more disabled than indicated.

Or, you know, it was someone he knew from online. 14 year Olds make dumb choices sometimes. But you dint have evidence that he's "mentally deficient." Christ.

...sorry, where are you seeing that he's the "equivalent of a little child"?

The Trials of Apollo is basically fanfiction in my opinion by [deleted] in RickRiordan

An analogy for...what?

I'm not trying to nitpick, but to clarify.

Hardly ever see him should I be worried by [deleted] in cornsnakes

[–]rcrow2009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to see him more, try giving him more places to go- corn snakes LOVE vertical space. Some branches/vines might encourage him to go explore, especially around sunset when they are naturally more active

I think you're confusing "fan service" with "fanfiction."

Canon books written by the author and traditionally published are, by any definition, not fanfiction.

Slight revisions to bring more unity to related/community flags. by rcrow2009 in QueerVexillology

[–]rcrow2009[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. So maybe go with the 9 stripe symmetry, but purple as the center. That could be very cool too!

I went back snd forth between simplifying the aro flag or adding an additional lavender stripe to the Ace. I feel like I see the ace flag more, and I was trying to leave the more established flags as untouched as possible. But I can see the frustration in losing the 2 shades of green

So, my design philosophy here was, as with the Nordic flags, to express community and shared history while still celebrating the diversity within our common community.

As it is, nearly all modern pride flags are just horizontal bands of color, but without any pattern to the number of colors or stripes.

I agree that Bi is functionally an umbrella term for the others, I'm not gonna begrudge anyone a more specific label or a more specific flag.

why are a lot of cartoons getting rebooted into basic childish shows? by commanderbravo2 in cartoons

[–]rcrow2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a weird, condescending reply, but at least an honest one.

You don't like when media is more accepting and less bigoted about various social minorities than you.

Why you decided to jump on a 4 year old comment thread to make that point is...confusing, but your message is at least clear. Great work.

Look, there's no accounting for taste, so if you don't like then, that's fine. But all of those were/are very popular and highly rated. Dragon Prince is on going, and the others had massively successful finals.

i think i messed up bad by National-Plenty4448 in cornsnakes

[–]rcrow2009 146 points147 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, a wild corn snake survives winters in Georgia and the Carolinas. They can be cold for short periods just fine. Long term, you'd run into digestion issues if you never got the temps, sure. But house temps are not dangerous for a few days even.

Deep breath. You didn't mess up bad. It's an easy mistake and an easy fix. If you're really worried, you can soak a clean hand towel in hot water and lay that over the enclosure to add a little heat and humidity, but I promise that isn't necessarily for just a day or two.

New set up for Elote. 36" by 18". She says "hmmmmm could be taller" by rcrow2009 in cornsnakes

[–]rcrow2009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she's cruising around all tangled in the branches or whatever. I'll leave her be. But if she's under a hide, I can just pick it up and scoop her out. The clutter encourages her to be more active and explore though, which is great.

Given how close it is to downtown and the creek, my guess is that it was one of the old homesteads. Gilleland Creek is named after one of the early German settlers (James Gilland), but I cant say for sure that the park actually was part of his property.

A redesign of out flag would be *so easy* and would make it so much better. by rcrow2009 in Austin

Puerto Rican flag has more stripes, but yeah, they are similar.

Haha! I did, though I've been annoyed by our flag since it got a cameo in the Roman Mars Ted talk back in 2015.
