One time I brought one of my rocks with me on a plane to touch to calm me down during the flight, but it fell out of my pocket on my way back to the bathroom and then as soon as i realized this they actually announced “did anyone lose…… . A rock” over the loudspeaker system.

When I went up to claim it the plane man, clearly unable to throw off the shackles of his training in the procedure of asking for people’s full names and birthdates when they come to claim wallets, said “wait no, first tell me what color it is so I know it’s really yours”

He seemed to realize this was stupid directly after saying it and kind of smiled like to make it a joke but the joke was on him bc I Described the fucking rock to him for like 30 solid seconds

…anyway. that was an interaction I had once

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

I just had the most bizarre and satisfying GTS trade ever.

You see this offer right here? At first, I dismissed it as impossible because Voltorb evolves into Electrode at a much later level than 10.

But then, in all my nerdery, I remembered that in-game trades with NPCs from before gen 5 give you Pokemon at the same level as the one you chose to trade, which can lead to underleveled evolved Pokemon. And it JUST SO HAPPENS that Electrode is one of those Pokemon in gen 1. In order to get it you need to trade a Raichu, which can be under level 10 because Pikachu evolves with a stone and is catchable at level 3. And then I discovered the Brock Through Walls glitch, which allows you to go literally anywhere in the game before you even have any badges.

So I did what any rational person would do on a Wednesday evening and spent $9.99 on the 3ds Virtual Console version of Pokemon Blue, glitched myself to Celadon City to buy a Thunderstone, let all my Pokemon faint so that I could warp back to Pewter City since its the last Pokecenter I healed at, caught a Pikachu in the nearby Viridian Forest, evolved it, glitched myself into Cinnabar Island, and claimed my completely legit yet also illegal lvl 7 Electrode named Doris.

Now I was half sure that Pokebank would realise how messed up this Pokemon was and not allow it into gen 7...

...but it went through perfectly.

So, thanks for the Poipole, Mars of war2. 😜

Either this person really really really wanted a specific kind of Electrode from gen 1 that only supernerds would bother to get, or they were being a stupid troll and I just played them like a damn fiddle.

I love how Stardew Valley stops you from giving you from giving people more than two gifts a week, because I like to think that it's the Farmer's weird sense of social etiquette talking.

Wanna give Jodi a single small egg then walk away without saying a word? Go head. Feel like reaching into your pocket, pulling out a fistful of tree sap, and slapping it in Lewis's hands? Be my guest. Entering without knocking? That's a must. But giving them more than two gifts a week? Hold your horses, buckaroo, do you want people to think you're some kind of weirdo? Wait until it's their birthday or you're married before you start engaging in freakish behavior like that.

by the way if standing or sitting up straight causes pain in ur back, try massaging the soft area beneath your solar plexus

be gentle though because sometimes it will be truly, profoundly painful to touch. just do your best to relax and breathe through it. i promise the relief will be immediate.

#looking in the replies and yeah me with fibro attempting this feels like poking a bruise lmfao #but hey! maybe itll still help if i can get thru it
