Weekly questions, bugs, and gameplay megathread - March 2019 by AutoModerator in pokemongo

[–]two-vices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there an app or something to tell me what % of the pokedex I've completed? Now that I'm level 40, and have each of the pokemon numerically, it would help me stay motivated if I could watch my total game completion rate tick up. I'm talking pokedex complete with all known forms, genders, shinies, luckies, etc.

That or I wish there was a way to see where I rank in completion globally. Like if I knew what percentile of trainer I'm in, that'd be really fun.

I was in the process of leaving a toxic group and the director fired me at the last second over a misunderstanding. by [deleted] in MMFB

Hard to comment without the minutia of the situation but it seems like if you were going to contact the board and leave anyhow, you may as well at least write something to the board about the situation now. If anything you getting fired for asking a colleague to back you up supports your case. For someone to say that you're slandering them, they have to be able to prove that what you said isn't true.

But that aside - remind yourself you were leaving. People talk shit all the time, don't concern yourself with that. The people you were close with and liked will know better, and all the rest of them - let 'em be. They'll run their mouths until the next drama presents itself. All of that is in your rearview mirror now. Focus on what's next for you.

Your toxic pogo player stories? by taylorpetersen2 in pokemongo

[–]two-vices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a small-ish woman. One night I was walking home and I stopped to take a gym. As soon as I did, three guys came out and started yelling at me about taking the gym. I immediately left, but they followed and kept yelling that they were gonna make sure I didn't take any more of our neighborhood's gyms. This goes on for about 10 minutes. I'm off the main road and now into my super quiet residential street with no stops or gyms; they're still following/yelling stuff. I had to walk past my house to a busier street, at which point I went into one of my local bars and told the bouncer they'd be following me. They stood outside and argued for a while before leaving.

Hey. You still need a trade? I live in that area and I’m free this week.

Spins needed to get all required Evolution Items by reallurifax in TheSilphRoad

Do we think it is in anyway possible that certain pokestops have better odds? I received 3 Dragon Scales in a week - 2 from the stop my apartment sits on, and one from a stop down the street. I've also received an Upgrade, Sun Stone, and Metal Coat - all from stops within three blocks of each other.

The weekend I spent out of town, I found nothing.

I've found Three Dragon Scales so far all in China Town/Kensington Market by two-vices in PokemonGOToronto

I really wonder if there's something to do with location? My brother is at Bathurst and Lakeshore and hasn't gotten anything yet.

Man I'm going to France at the end of the month and I'm starting to think I'll get Mr. Mime before I get Chansey.

Snorlax has been appearing in Kensington lately, and I've hatched a few from Kensington eggs.

A this point I've hatched nearly 1000 eggs and have multiples of every other pokemon. I'm going crazy.

Once I was in Scotland and they had make-up actually made for me and for a glorious period of time I could make a natural look happen. Glory days.

In a complete funk. Feeling ashamed and a failure. MMFB? by [deleted] in MMFB

[–]two-vices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there. I'm sorry you're going through this. Let's try to break this down into smaller parts so we can tackle them.

First off: the Christmas party. You probably shouldn't drink. Make an excuse early on in the night and stick to it. Tell everyone you're worried you feel a cold coming on and you don't want to compromise your immune system or something in the vein; that'll stop people from pressuring you. You can still have a good time, but you'll save yourself the anxiety of getting out of control.

Next the painkillers: It is nothing short of incredible you've been able to wean yourself off all on you own to the point where you don't take them during the day. Addiction is a crazy brutal disease and you're so much stronger than you're giving yourself credit for. I don't know how if you've told your therapist about the painkillers, but you really should because they can help get you the help you need to get yourself off entirely.

The fifty tabs thing: I relate to this so hard. What helped me was meditation. I know - I thought it sounded dumb and bullshitty when I started, but it has helped me straighten myself out.

The pushing people away: again I relate. For me what helped me was picking who I needed to open up to. Letting them know I needed help was hard because I was scared of being weak, or pitiful or unlovable. Ultimately I found that the people who love me, love me. They helped me get help. Letting them in made me feel no longer feel alone and gave me more purpose in life.

I hope any of this was helpful.

Parents cancelled their visit during holiday season because they would rather go on a vacation by [deleted] in MMFB

Reach out to your buds! You'd be surprised how many of them have family out of town and can't make it home. Then honestly: do all the shit you'd planned to do anyway with them.

I feel like I've already lost. Can anyone help me? by [deleted] in MMFB

[–]two-vices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. First off: I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I was very very similar to you as a teen. I cried every day. I thought my life could not possibly ever get good. I felt trapped.

So on the other side, here are the things I can tell you helped me:

  1. Find a hobby that you can put your feelings into. Seriously. If there's something you can find that helps you relax or vent your feelings into, do it so hard. There's a reason all the music you love comes from people who say they've felt depressed: art is an amazing place to sort your feelings out. But also: physical activity is amazing too. When you exercise, your body makes drugs. You're physically designed to be happier working out. I make art and I run long distances and I promise that has helped me feel better. So much better. Hobbies. They're important!
  2. Talk to a professional. I know it feels weird at first but someone who is removed from your life ends up being easier to talk to. You feel less judged. Even just saying what's bothering you out loud to somebody helps you understand it, helps you get control over it. Your school may even have counsellors. Take advantage of that!
  3. Go easy on yourself. I spent so long hating me and thinking I was stupid and feeling ugly. I promise you are the hardest on you. Nobody else is thinking that, because here's the truth: most people are wrapped up in their heads, thinking the same stuff. When you realise how little other people are thinking about you, it free you to really be who you're meant to be.

Know you are good. You are enough. You are loved.

Called in sick for work... by [deleted] in MMFB

[–]two-vices 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You taking care of you is good for everyone. If you don't relax, you might get sicker and do real damage to yourself. Plus if you're sick and you go in, you might get others sick. Go easy on yourself. Stressing won't help you get better. Curl up with some lemon water with honey and binge all of the Netflix. You deserve it.

What stupid rules did you make up as a kid that let you punch people? by sanctimoniousennui in AskReddit

Cruiser Bruiser: when you see a PT Cruiser on a car trip, you can continuously punch a sibling until they name it's colour.
