"So can you make money doing this or...?"

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

I mean on the one hand fuck every Pokemon card scalper and shit like that

I started playing the game because it was so much cheaper to make a functioning deck than any other 1v1 tcg... now i can't find any cards at msrp so i don't update my decks and once they rotate out of legality i think I'm just done

If you are a collector of a specific character or something I think it's fine to buy a new one of your favorite guy if they haven't made one in a while.

[I collect the trashbag pokemon cards and they don't print that many fancy ones]

Hi I'm the one who just said "no" and for that I'll admit to being shortsighted.

I saw the report and the content of the post and didn't think additional context would be necessary. In the future i will provide more descriptive reasoning

I honestly think my life improved when i decided not to dismiss everything 'mainstream' and just engage with media as it is rather than how popular it is. People like what they like, no taste is bullshit

Sorry if that's insulting and I'm not telling you that you are. You just said that getting some money is the universe telling you to go on a trip.

how many times have people stumbled across a moment like this only to never take it?

I would also like to mention that the moment you're speaking about is the chance to do something you'd really like to do. It's really nice to do things you'd really like to do, especially if they're normally outside your financial means. Try to consider how much importance you're putting into this

I'm not criticizing your dream. I'm just saying that the way you're describing this is sounding similar to the way people very close to me sound while they're having a manic episode.

I think it's really cool to want to go to the dprk and i would also like to do it.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago (7 children)

I think this is like the universe telling me to do the things I want to do

You're being poetic, right?

Like you don't think this is actually happening?

If you do feel that way it's very possible you need to take a little break and chill out

I was anti weed in highschool and i would become smuglord on 420 saying "oh you like celebrating hitlers birthday?"

Somehow managed to have friends idk honestly

 

Mandatory piss tests but it's not for drugs it's to make sure you're hydrated enough to produce enough labor value to be worth it

 

All this talk of EU and NATO countries needing to spend more on defense to counter the imminent Russian threat is obviously not the real motivation behind increased spending.

If one were to imagine such a world, for the sake of useless navel gazing, what else would need to be true for Russia to not only want to use military force to annex or occupy or even conduct limited air strikes on a NATO member or one of their allies but be confident that it's military could meaningfully conduct such a massive operation while defnding from the inevitable retaliation from the entire west?

Idk I'm baked at work and can't really understand why people are so easily sold on this idea that Russia is about to conduct full scale war on Europe

 

That's the box i bought at midnight on release day from a chain of stores that no longer exists, Future Shop.

No politics, unless you think it's funny

 

I'm not completely illiterate on the subject of Linux i used to mess around in highschool with turning old PC parts into functional machines

 

[The tone of this post is earnest, not in any way meant to be a complaint. I want to be a better comrade]

I'm someone with a very dense cross-section of privileges. (If i didn't grow up poor i might win the least oppressed demographic trophy)

This makes me feel as though I cannot speak on anything important without coming across like I'm whitemansplaining, regardless of whether I consider myself knowledgeable on the topic.

Should i just accept that my voice isn't really needed in most conversations? (A white guy telling an iranian expat that Reza Pahlavi was actually not good for iranians isn't ever going to accomplish anything, is it?)

Not to say I'm an encyclopedia of theory but i consider myself well enough read to apply dialectical and historical materialist analysis to most topics.

I spend a lot of time around people of all walks of life and I feel as though it's kinda disrespectful of me to pipe up and correct the record on basically any topic beyond the mundane like videogame strategy.

I guess i don't even really know what kind of answer I'm looking for here. Maybe just validation that it's ok for me to be silent when someone is just plain wrong about an important topic? Idk. Thanks for reading

 

Do you think the person who knows about hexbear would be happy or sad that you said that?

 

I've never really torrented on linux idk can I just add it to steam and run with proton?

One of the hosts will say the numbers 6 and 7 and nobody will say anything about it.

It's fucked

 

I've recently moved apartments and the architecture is such that lots of flies get trapped in a loop near my back sliding door. It's sometimes dozens or more just spinning in a circle.

I was fortunate to get a unit with ample growing space and was hoping there's some kind of flower or plant that flies will avoid before getting trapped in the doom spiral.

I can catch one of them in a safe bug net and take a picture if needed.

Thanks in advance
