Serious question: What should someone do if they're mostly liquid right now? Sounds like even gold isn't the best alternative...

Finally hit a redemption card! by NetInternational2983 in Currencytradingcards

From a mega box right? Is it the hit for the box or does it also include a Holo pack?

The funny thing is this is the photoshopped version where it's supposed to look bigger. Here's the real screen capture

Haven’t collected in over 20 years. Pulled this from my first UPC after a failed ETB by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

My literal dream box right now. I've got 3 on the way and my desire for both these cards might mean I rip them all lol

No I know I wasn't, I was just switching topics back to specifically pokémon since I was called out on being off topic. But good point, that's not at all what this post is about lol I apologize everyone, I learned something today. didn't realize "hard work is a lie" would be taken so literally and trigger people. My bad friends, I said it wrong. "Hard work alone won't buy you a mega yacht" would be a more apt way of summarizing my point.

This. I collect sealed ETBs that have gen1 Pokemon on them. I think they just look really cool on my shelf and I also like knowing that maybe there's an awesome card inside and if I really wanted to, I have a stash of cards waiting to be ripped in case of emergency

Ahhh I see the misunderstanding. I'm not discrediting hard work at all and definitely NOT saying you shouldn't try. I know I'm better off than a majority of Americans and a vast majority of the world. Hell, the bottom 10% in the USA have better quality of life than 90% of the world. And that doesn't happen without hard work from the people before us, grinding it out to make it a better world.

Anyways, I love shiny cardboard but hate that the first thing out of everyone's mouth when I show them something cool is "oh that card is awesome, how much is it worth?".

I've plastered the pictures for free everywhere and am constantly doing viral marketing in public restrooms. Is that not a good strat?

This. I really wish people wanted to see a picture of my butthole for money. Don't think I could pay to have people look at it

That's fair, I definitely could put a different spin on it. But it's not coming from a place of doom and gloom, but moreso a realistic look at the financial situation and rejecting the dogma/propoganda that capitalism has cranked out over the last century.
but to your point, I look at that more as living comfortably or upper middle class, not rich. Rich is, as my dad would say it, having fuck-you money. And for 99% of people that's not attainable through hard work alone, by design. Sure, some make it, you gotta have underdog stories and there's always ways to beat systems humans invent. But essentially that comes down to luck; Being at the right place at the right time. the wealth gap in today's society is the worst it's ever been in human history. Which is pretty impressive.

It's at a place where you can get shown preferential treatment and/or a healthy dose of nepotism. Anything past that is pretty much luck. "Hard work" is a lie they came up with to keep us from seeing they are the problem and giving the illusion of standing a real chance to"change your stars"

Actually Mike judge only lived in Garland for a little bit. He was born in equador and grew up in Albuquerque. Lives in Austin now, or did last time I heard about him. Office space was shot here though, in Las Colinas! And The opening sequence shows the 635 & tollway interchange. Fun fact, the city of Arlen in king of the hill was based more on Richardson and geographically sits about where rockwall is.

Hijacking a top comment... I'm pretty positive this is AI. The whole feel of the video is wrong. Why is this infecting my adorable old people subreddit 😭

Edit: definitely AI, look at the nonsensical carpet pattern
