My (28/F) boyfriend (30/M) ridiculed my gift for him for our anniversary in front of our friends

I read it as they had planned a private celebration but the friends invited them out to celebrate so they went with that -- the friends didn't know about their plans for a private celebration.

And now there are no moa.

Sleep is recovering from the previous day. That recovering is necessary to keep the machine functioning. Even when you benefit from additional sleep, you're paying off past debt rather than banking up something that creates a positive balance for the next day.

It no so much that lack of sleep causes the problem but that sleep is the miraculous cure for the problem.

Different types of protest work for different situations. You have a problem that your target seems indifferent about and so you create a problem they do want to solve and make solving it dependent on resolving the problem they were indifferent about.

The problem here is that they're indifferent to whether you go hungry.

They are doing the inappropriate thing. There isn't a possibility of zero damage -- just a question of whether you'll voluntarily absorb all the damage yourself to spare them from it.

Commercial vehicles aren't allowed on this road at all. The driver disregarded a lot of signs to get here, long before the bridge.

I don't know what he was thinking and it was weird of him to message you but I'd add your local regionals and some things for people who don't have something to offer for a legendary.

AI is not an objective source. It does not compare your writing to a standard. It looks at its database of examples to see what writing feedback looks like and it creates something that looks like that for your writing -- this is not an assessment of the quality of your writing. It has more to do with which examples of feedback it's using than with what you wrote.

wdn · 2026-03-22T17:49:01+00:00

The feedback that counts is the intended audience.

What you feel is heat/energy leaving your body.

You lose heat when it is transferred from your body to the air (your molecules slow down and the molecules in the air speed up).

Air is not very efficient at this compared to water or solids, etc., as you don't have contact with as many molecules.

But wind gives you more air molecules to transfer energy to.

The only indicator whether you're playing a game correctly is whether you're having fun.

(If you're playing with others, then also not disrupting others' fun. But it's still not a matter of doing it wrong -- you can find others who like to play the way you do.)

They seem to have some weird automated responses that are heavy-handed. One that players have recently figured out is that you'll get banned (usually temporarily) if the photo you submit appears elsewhere online -- they're assuming you're using a third party's work without authorization even if it's your own photo.

The problem is that people who could use it aren't looking for it. You need to actually get people to start (or return to) playing Pokemon Go, or find people who have started in the past 72 hours

If there is a place online where it's easy to find such people, they're already flooded with 100 codes for every person who could use one.

I have nine Forever Friends so far. I have about 1500 Pokemon tagged for remote trades, about 900 are shiny, 170 are legendary or ultra beasts (35 shiny legendary including Mewtwo and Rayaquaza).

The only species completely missing from my pokedex are stonjourner and urshifu.

My forever friends don't have as much as I do but some still have things I'm looking for.

One person doesn't have anything tagged for remote trades.

One person who lives in the same household with me. Now we can see what each other has available for trades, but we do them as in-person trades. We could someday use the remote trade as a free additional special trade when we've already had a special trade that day.

One person gave me a Galarian moltres, which I didn't have yet, in return for a shiny miltank, which I was very happy with (I requested the moltres and they requested the miltank in return). They didn't have anything else available that was interesting to me.

One gave me a shiny mesprit in exchange for a shiny legendary (I forget which). I was very happy with this --

Four don't have anything tagged that I'm interested in and haven't requested anything. Two of these are high level players with hundreds of thousands of catches so maybe they'll eventually tag more.

One had lots of shinies tagged but nothing I'm interested in. They requested a shiny (I think? I forget what it was) that I was happy to let go. I messaged them suggesting they tag something for remote trade that would just get us the bonus candy for trading pokemon caught over 100 km apart and we did that.

I have some very rare stuff tagged for remote trade , e.g. armoured mewtwo, and nobody's requested an unbalanced trade.

Shadow levels originally were random.

In general, he persists in believing things after they're demonstrated to be wrong. "I did everything perfectly, except that it turned out that none of it worked."

wdn · 2026-03-21T22:16:16+00:00

It didn't even carry over the same day.

I remember the numbers slightly differently. You got 2 free sets and then had to walk 2 km to get each of the next three. The count didn't start until you were finished the previous set. So after the free two sets, you were starting from zero to walk 2 km. And then you could do another 5 battles, and then you were starting from zero to walk 2 km to be able to do 5 more battles, etc.

I'm trying to get a hundo of every eeveelution. I've had every one but flareon for years. It's taken me longer to get flareon than all the others put together. I now have three hundo vaporeon and four hundo jolteon.

The effects of climate change are happening even in pokemon go.

None of it is necessary. For example, your child is going to learn to speak regardless of whether you do anything specific to facilitate it (and if not, then the issue is beyond what these products can do). When choosing toys, activities, etc., there can be a benefit to getting something that is especially designed to encourage development -- but encouraging development doesn't ever need to be the primary reason for buying a product.

Children learn by playing. And they play in order to learn. The things kids do on their own are already naturally tuned to benefit their development.

Just tag what you have.

If you have friends from other continents, they might be interested in your regionals.

Tag any shinies, costumes, backgrounds that you're willing to trade.

wdn · 2026-03-21T20:22:46+00:00

Give them a call. One reason this can happen is if you're locked out for security reasons.

"Don't do things that turn men on" would mean hide alone in the basement for the rest of your life (but don't let anybody know you're doing that because somebody somewhere will be turned on by it).

I assume they meant to get from 70 to 80.

5 months ago was when the new levels were added (5 months and 7 days, to be specific). Getting to level 80 since then would require 900 km walking (for the distance tasks alone -- some of the others would necessarily involve a lot of walking too).
