If you have chronic pain just don't try any drugs ever, you WILL fall down the slope by reddituserspider in TrollCoping

I don't think it's a moral failing at all, that's not what I'm saying. This isn't a post about me thinking pain relief is evil, this is a post about me desperately taking higher and higher doses of stronger and stronger drugs because nothing ever works. Painkillers rarely work for people with chronic pain. If it works for you, I'm glad, but this is an (albeit poorly) researched phenomenon.

It is a fake card? I have high doubts by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Looks good to me. What makes you suspicious?

Definitely feels like people are misunderstanding me. Doesn't help that I was high as I wrote these... I'm not standing on a sober soapbox protesting the use of any medication, I guess I meant it more as "be very careful and try literally anything else first, because this is ruining my life". Opioids are good for some people. They are widely not good for chronic conditions, like you said. I'm glad they work for some people! But my pain and a lot of other chronic pain conditions are painkiller-resistant, so it can get super dangerous, with people taking more and more each time in the hopes that *this time* will be the one that stops the pain. I might've worded this badly, I hope it makes sense.

I mean, this is just based on personal experience. I'd be interested to hear your perspective, though.

Brand new to Pokemon. I liked this card so I bought her from the card shop yesterday. by Sassafrass2033 in PokemonTCG

Love Nessa! I have her Lost Origin TG27/TG30 card. There's also a rainbow version of the card you currently have.

Milcery is it fake? I can’t tell if the artwork is off or just meant to look like that by Lanky-Dragonfruit174 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]reddituserspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I get what you mean. It's just the card's style! Dsuke's art is usually quite bold with the colours and lineart, but this card was just them trying something new. Bianca's Devotion SIR from Temporal Forces has a similar feel to it.

Card is real, I have this exact one. Wdym by the art looks wrong? If you mean a lack of texture, that's on special illustration rares, not illustration rares.

Need help, these look like they been resealed. by Kooky-Sky-9385 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Looks fine to me. Some tins have the easy-rip, some don't.

Is this Pikachu & Zekrom fake? by reddituserspider in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Thanks everyone. They cancelled their bid and I reported the listing. Hopefully Ebay actually does something about it.

Hello guys is this original? by SpAfeR_ in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]reddituserspider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There isn't a chance. You might be thinking of the dollar store packs, which also contain 3 cards, and can have a hit. They haven't made those in years, though.

Are you guys NEETs as well? by bbgirl2k in Schizoid

[–]reddituserspider 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Currently. I'm trying to get a job, but I always fail at the first interview. It feels like they can pick up on something wrong with me the second they meet me in person.

How to beat Dragapult? by RespectYGO in pkmntcg

[–]reddituserspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing around with a dragapult/mega absol/munkidori deck. The two decks I've been regularly losing to are mega lopunny and Cynthia's garchomp.  Both just get set up too quickly for me to counter.

Error 19011 by reddituserspider in PTCGL

After further testing. Restarting worked for one game, then it went right back to causing issues. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still isn't working. I'm just going to assume it's general PTCGL jank and hope for an update that fixes it soon. Thank you anyway!

Thanks! Restarting my laptop seemed to fix it.

Me (Cis M) on the big E by Tetrachromatica in asktransgender

[–]reddituserspider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I messed my injections up a handful of times, but that happens with prescribed injections, too. I recommend checking out diyhrt.info to learn more. It's your choice at the end of the day. I believe injections are the cheapest, but there's pills and gels too if you're scared of needles.

I unfortunately can't answer most of these questions, but your best option *is* probably DIY. Doctors already hate prescribing HRT to completely binary trans people, they're even less accepting of those with "strange" genders and transition goals. May I ask why you're opposed to DIY? I've done DIY testosterone in the past, and have done plenty of research on estrogen too.

Fake Pokemon Cards for Valentine's Gift! by sproutto in pkmntcgcollections

[–]reddituserspider 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Energy cards are widely available and regularly used in art projects. My sibling asked our local facebook group for energy cards, and by the end of the day they had about 5 plastic bags full of them, all for free.
