#GoTaxExempt

Perfect

@mattvanswol @DocHollidatt Arrived at that conclusion a long while ago.

@mattvanswol Preaching to the choir, ive gone back to a lifestyle ive never known, farming and slowly turning away from the fake. Every time I eat food I get from the store I cant help but think this was probably grown from human being stem cells of aborted babies... sad to be awake.

I think I know why everything sucks... ...and it's because everything is fake We are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach you fake education and get you fake jobs. We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research. We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products. We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything. We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves. We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage. We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real. We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat. We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments. We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths. We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months. We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made. IT. IS. ALL. FAKE. And we all yearn for what was once real. Don't you remember? Did you forget? There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract. When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does! When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them. When a family could live off a single income. When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it. When schools was HARD... and that was the point! When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house, When you bought something once... and it was yours forever. When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad. And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.

@PokeCardsDaily Every card would, I even really like prismatic pokeballs lol

Had to throw this card into the light box and all it made me realize was that this artwork would be 500x better with texture🥹

@BandzMcBagz I dont either lol

wait you’re supposed to take the promos out of the plastic?

@FlockMastaMon I bought some PC stamps off some redline pokemon group lol

@FreeEricG Wasn’t local lol but yeah tax free is always the best

Facebook proves itself yet again, I posted $8000~ worth of sealed last night and sold it all within 3 hours for roughly asking price to a single buyer + made a great long term connection Twitter gets me crypto losers offering 60% of market thinking they’re doing me a favor 😂

@Wolfiez254 @pray4goodpulls Just gotta fill them bad boys up so the rings dont press the cards lol

@pray4goodpulls I didn’t know rings were an issue til recently. I used a crap school binder for years & none of my cards bent/damaged so I wonder if maybe it has to do with storage cause I just lay mine flat I don’t put it up like a book. I will replace mine tho at some point just to be safe :P

Update. Ring binders are ass.

@60burners @PokeCardsDaily Pokemon is navigating their third and ill say biggest "gold rush" since theyve debuted perfectly. They've mastered the drip of supply and the rest is our problem lol.

@FreeEricG @PokeCardsDaily Yeah that’s my point. They made it not as accessible outside of the etbs and blisters and then the pins and posters. It’s been coming in waves which feels like it’s harder to get. Unlike perfect order we got everything up front and it’s still sitting.

I still can’t get over the fact Pokémon botched the Ascended Heroes set so horribly they created Prismatic 2.0. This set is gorgeous yet it’s going to have the same accessibility issues we continue to see. Really disheartening when the company claims to “understand” the issues.

@PokeCardsDaily We had a card shop open up locally, I dont have much hope for them but maybe theyll stay afloat with events?

@FreeEricG No they were brick and mortar and now they’re dead

Good morning Poké gang!🤟🏼 I drove by my “shitty LCS” for the 6th time in two weeks yesterday and it is officially available for rent — another fallen soldier in the hobby🫡

@CharizardEats Marill IR

Help me complete this binder page! What card do you think would fix this page best?! Hit me with recommendations!

@Nortier The first hit I got when I got back into collecting cards. I didnt realize pokemon cards became so cool looking over the years. I thought they were still like WOTC ones i grew up with, i was hooked.

This is one of the most complete Ivysaur artworks. No hype needed. No flashy gimmicks. Just pure quality. Cards like this don’t spike overnight but they are the ones that age the best.

@ryankirbz @P0chu_L1ver The city was what hurts it imo

@P0chu_L1ver I beat archeus. It was definitely a step in the right direction, hopefully they go back to that. I didn’t like the city vibe.

I’ve been trying so hard to force myself to finish Pokemon ZA because I spent $70 on it, but I think it’s simply not a good game. Pretty bad actually.

@brendansfoley @StevenxTCG Don't care to purchase more you mean?

@StevenxTCG I purchased 50 of the swinub from neo genesis. Don’t care anymore

Is it me or am I seeing significantly less of the 1st edition “king” accounts posting. Did we run out of 1st edition cards yet? What happened 👀

@StevenxTCG I'd rather build vintage sets if im buying multiples of a card, guess they filled there binder 🤷‍♂️

Remember when we had this beautiful movement to Make America Great Again....so the Deep State murdered one of its key figures and replaced him with a slew of bloodthirsty war pigs everyone hated? If this is a war of information....you're losing, because we see through all of it.

@TheBareToe @LordCharizard33 Ebay

@LordCharizard33 Where tf is 32 dollar charmanders at !

There’s absolutely no reason on planet earth that the Charmander GameStop promo is only $35 while the Gengar is over $100. 🔥📈

@NostalgicNestEg @LordCharizard33 Nowadays lol

@LordCharizard33 True, they should both lose value having GameStop stamped on them 😅 Solid cards otherwise 🤷‍♂️

@LordCharizard33 Facts, pump my charmander lol

@FlipFlip Like nobody's paying $100 for 1st edition commons in my kids lifetime unless they fell for the scam hard

I see a reality of 1st edition Pokemon cards all being easily $100+ due to the low populations of the TCG continues to grow. Thoughts? Anyone else buying cheap ones to hold.
