As a long time casual player of the games the only pokemon i really blank on the names of are mythicals that are only in the games as special events or ones that are completely boring to me. It's not too hard to remember charizard.

Stolen art that's difficult to fence can also gets used as collateral for drug deals, so maybe that $60,000 Pokemon card is currently seed money for an enterprising dealer.

If her boyfriend is a Pokemon card seller who spend thousands upon thousands of hours on Pokemon, she's picked up plenty of monster names over the years. Plus she could very well be a huge Pokemon fan herself into the games, Pokemon Go, the anime, etc, and not the comparatively niche card game, just like literally billions of people on our planet are.

AITA for preventing kids from lying to thier parents just to buy Fortnite Bundles? quote:I work in a chain that is known for selling video games, accessories and toys. One of the things we happen to sell is the Fortnite DLC Deep Freeze (Winter themed Skin pack) and Darkfire bundle (Skin plus some weapons which do nothing to benefit. Just weapon reskins with an "epic" rarity or something).

If even the manager says it's poo poo and won't sell it, it must be bad. Similar, I remember going to a pet store to see if they had some fish medicine in stock (Amazon would take too long) and was surprised to find the medical area cleared the gently caress out. An associate told me that everything was discontinued, because it made more money sense for the store to not sell poo poo that could make your fish healthy, when you could just buy more fish once your current ones died. By the same token the employees were taught never to advocate any medicine other than the snake oil poo poo on the shelves. But no he's not TA. Now if he yelled at the kids or lied because he hates Fortnite, then yes. But no, he's being honest and explaining to parents who don't know any better, and am sure most appreciate it. If the kid wants something and this will shut him up during self isolation, great. But finding out the $40 is just so something looks prettier in game isn't a loving game worth that money.

My [36M] wife [34F] keeps tying my boots after I've told her to keep her hands off of them. I tried to teach her a lesson and really hurt her feelings.quote:Yes, I know the title is bizarre and I can't believe I'm actually writing this. My wife is a neat freak. Always has been. She throws notes on my desk out assuming they're garbage, my belongings get rearranged to the point where it takes me hours to find them, it's something I've come to accept. I'm not happy about it, but we have a pretty happy marriage on the whole. reddit posted:Tell your wife that this interference with your gear could crash your marriage and facilitate a death. And is she good with that or will she work on herself. OP posted:She thinks I'm being dramatic when I refer to lifesaving. That what I do is more "transporting boo boos".

Jesus gently caress I would have burned her loving running shoes after that. One time he will be late saving a life because of her, and when he explodes on her, she will start screaming he's being abusive and she's terrified for her life because it's totally not her fault when she's sabotaging him outright.

I understand the sentiment but she is not going to learn from that because she has nothing riding on that besides convenience. Not a job, not a life. Since its not a big deal to her, it comes off as petty and cruel rather than trying to make a point.

While she's a selfish idiot, I hesitate to fault a woman for saying she was scared when her male partner literally screams at her in anger.

On the one hand, 90 percent of what he does is transporting boo boos. On the other hand, when it’s not that you do have to get moving quick. I’ve had medic partners that take forever to get to the ambulance so we can leave and it’s infuriating. He should get the side zip boots and bam, the boot situation is solved. Not the “wife’s an idiot” one though.

I agree that there are plenty of women who genuinely do fear the anger of their partner, this is patently not one of them. She is using it as an excuse to deflect blame. The fact that she so regularly overrides his needs and her unbridled rage at a reversal of fortune implies that it is HER who is the abusive one. Not physically, but emotionally. She is so obsessed with controlling his actions that she will risk the lives of third parties. This dude needs to gtfo of this relationship.

SoftNum posted:She's the abusive one in this relationship, not him. Moreover after he blew up at her and then she's all "fine then I won't ever do this for you" she turns around and does it again and then loses her poo poo on him for doing something almost identical and screams at him that since he apologized in the first place nothing she did was wrong at all. OCD isn't "gently caress your feelings" it's a compulsion. She just doesn't give af about his feelings or his job and its clearly bubbling over into divorce territory by this point. The whole who ever apologizes is 100% wrong and the other person is right is some hard narcissist behavior and I really think there's a lot more going on in this guy's life he's normalized as okay that is very similar.

While there are SO many other issues here, I'd just like to ask if side zip boots aren't a thing anymore? I've been out of fire/ems for a while, but the uniform store had more side zip boots than regular ones. The look just like normal boots with laces, but you ties them up once so they fit you, and then you unzip the thing (to the inside of each foot) and can get in and out. Everyone I worked with had at least one pair of these which were always used at the "on call" (i.e. I'm probably sleeping) boots that you put next to your bed. Some people who absolutely had to have some kind of boots that didn't come this way found zippers you can lace in to where you normally lace your boots that seems to do about the same thing.

Indeed, and I think it's most boots in general. I was ninja editing while you were posting. Are the lace up zippers still around? Get some Carolinas or similar that actually last and throw those in there. The seem to work, just not quite as well as side zip.

Basically everyone I know in EMS has some kind of boot zipper setup since it’s so much easier than dealing with laces at 2 in the morning.

What are the demands of an EMS' job that require special footwear. Like why can't you wear green patch Blundstones or something, I wore those for construction for a dog's age and they're great. Tying laces is a hassle, plus they break in the middle of the day and you got a loose shoe all afternoon walking around.

Ignoring what kind of shoes he wears, she KNOWS why he needs to be able to get them on fast, she's been asked and told not to mess with his boots, has said she won't, then keeps loving doing it? Yeah, being screamed at at 2am isn't good but when you intentionally gently caress with poo poo, knowing how dangerous it is, being screamed at is a fair price to pay for being an absolute selfish oval office.
