Telling everyone how impressive my first gay bareback orgy was

@Luomuse Same as a sports card, antique, coin, comic book - owning it because u want to - called collecting :)

@mewmewnami Legend 🙏

One of my go-to centering apps added a paywall, so I made my own free-to-use centering tool. By selecting the corners of the card, it will automatically account for perspective and flatten it for an accurate assessment! centering.mew.cards

I made a web app to try out different Graded Guard options! I’ll be adding more colors over time. mew.cards/gg/

Stan Lee: "My publisher told me that Spider-Man was the worst idea I have ever heard." "My publisher came to me and said, 'Stan, I want you to come up with another superhero.' So I said okay. And I thought, 'What power will I give a new guy?' And I saw a fly crawling on the wall. I said, 'Hey, if I can get a superhero that could stick to walls and crawl on them man, that would be groovy.'" Stan continues: "I needed a name. Fly-Man, Mosquito-Man... I got down to Spider-Man. It just sounded dramatic. Then I figured, just for fun, I'm going to give him personal problems because most people have personal problems. And I'd make him a teenager, because there were no teenage superheroes at the time." He brought the idea to his publisher: "This was his reaction: 'Stan, that is the worst idea I have ever heard. First of all, people hate spiders so you can't call a hero Spider-Man. You want him to be a teenager? Teenagers can only be sidekicks. And you want him to have personal problems? Stan, don't you know what a superhero is? They don't have personal problems.'" Stan left disappointed but couldn't let it go: "We were about to kill a magazine called Amazing Fantasy. It wasn't selling well, and we were sending the last issue to press. When you do the last issue of a magazine, nobody cares what you put in it because the book is dying. Just to get it out of my system, I put Spider-Man in Amazing Fantasy. Featured him on the cover. Forgot about it." Then the sales figures came in: "A month later, my publisher came racing into my office: 'Stan, Stan! You remember that character we both loved so much Spider-Man? Let's do him as a series.'" Stan shares the lesson: "If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good don't let some idiot talk you out of it. That doesn't mean every wild notion is going to be genius. But if there's something you feel is good, something you want to do, something that means something to you try to do it. Because I think you can only do your best work if you're doing what you want to do. And if you can look at it after and say, 'I did that and I think it's pretty damn good' that's a great feeling."

Focus on you .. and cheer for others … it makes life much easier ❤️❤️❤️

@akafaceUS Who’s Carlitos

Carlitos went live with his mom and their video racked up over 200,000 likes. Suddenly, he found himself popular at school, though he’s puzzled by all the attention especially since he thinks his dancing was terrible.

@elonmusk The Hubble telescope is rendering as it goes along too 😂

I had dinner once with a top physicist and a top computer scientist and asked what they thought the probability was that we were in a simulation. They answered simultaneously at 0% and 100% respectively. It was like a double-slit experiment, but with humans.

@MINHxDYNASTY I felt chills reading this

i saw a dear friend yesterday, one of the biggest pokemon/one piece whales and we talked about how we wished we had infinite money unlimited funds to buy every card we ever wanted but then we laughed and said no way. the most beautiful part is the journey. imagine if luffy found the one piece in episode 1.

@dachshundwizard Very

Do you think Japanese Gold Stars are undervalued?

@rarecandyc What a grail!!

I started this Pokemon card collection journey just 6 months ago in August, 2024. Ever since, I’ve been hooked getting back into this franchise I once loved as a kid. It started with late nights researching what cards existed, then being completely overwhelmed with the catalogue of modern, mid-era, and vintage cards on the market, and finally flabbergasted at the prices of these little cardboard squares could amount to. As the sticker shock subsided and my love for Pokemon reignited, there was one card that stuck out amongst all else - the Rayquaza Gold Star specifically PSA 10. At the time, rumors had it the card was worth between $150,000 - $200,000. An unimaginable number that prices out the majority of all people on this planet, including myself. But at least the beauty of this hobby is it can appeal to everyone no matter your income level. From $1 binders, $7 packs, all the way up to the grails of the high end market like $1M cards, there’s something for everyone who enjoys the hobby and it embraces you with open arms. So I started slowly, buying $25-100 slabs of some real cute pokemon (Azumarill) and learning more and more about this hobby that I’ve lost my relationship with for the better part of 20 years. From all the card shows I attended, the countless hours scrolling eBay or Facebook marketplace, or even the most random places I’ve driven to just to catch a raid on pokemon go.. any reasonable person would think I’m insane. But for the last 20~ years, I’ve lost sight of something that pokemon has been able to bring back to me, my inner child. From the ages of 7-9, loading up Emerald on my gameboy advance SP, trading/battling pokemon with friends, and camping out in a local mall for a special Celebi DLC were some of my fondest memories I carry with me in my childhood. There aren’t words to describe the feeling my 9 year old self felt when I finally got my first level 100 pokemon (Azumarill and Ray) - the countless hours grinding the Elite 4 and feeling of mastery can’t be replicated. Sitting in the crossroads between professional pursuit and nostalgia is THIS very card for me. The gold star Rayquaza represents more than just a pokemon or even my love of the hobby/collectibles. To me, it’s the perfect all encompassing depiction of my journey of personal growth and rediscovery of my inner child; simultaneously climbing a new mountaintop in professional achievement to be financially able to splurge $340,000 on this card. Every time I look at this card, it triggers the same feeling as inserting that light green Emerald insert booting up my Game Boy. There are only 47 of these cards in the world and the demand seems higher than ever for high end collectibles. Sadly this one is now off the market, whether price goes up or down doesn’t matter to me. This one will be safe in my PC :) PS. May we all discover our inner child, pursue it endlessly, and express ourselves freely. I believe our inner child is our path to happiness - I lost sight of mine for a long while and couldn’t be happier to have a relationship with him again

@dachshundwizard Been secretly stacking 🤫
