Hey everyone, is buying from Viagogo safe?

@Hairycub1969, @beautifulmorning; thank you both. After reading more about it I feel better about my ability to keep it contained to myself, if I do have it. I fluctuate between relative calmness thinking it's unlikely iI got it to being absolutely certain I have it, but I know that until I...

Hello, I'm really sorry if this is not the place to post this, but I don't have anyone to talk to about this and I need to get this off my chest. The possibility of having got monkeypox is eating me alive right now. I'm kicking myself for having got so careless and getting so drunk. I feel...

I agree that all efforts should go towards increasing vaccine availability in other countries, but many articles say that a waiver on patents would not be very helpful because there's just no production capacity for the mRNA ones. Most say that effort should be put on increasing capacity, but...

This forum always surprises me with the empathy of most posters. Don't know if it's weird to say this but thanks for at least acknowledging this extreme injustice. It's disheartening to know neither me nor my family will probably get vaccinated until next year, and we'll have to continue living...

Oh then, yes, we agree. Keeping these patents locked while so many people die around the world is evil, and the "we first" attitude of basically all governments from developed nations is as well. I've heard the argument that patents are actually needed to incentivize companies to even make the...

This is true, but I never said Sinopharm had "very low" efficacy. As for Sinovac, I pointed out its wide range of efficacy results, both "low" (50%) and high (91%). I didn't even mention Sputnik. And I didn't say I doubted their usage; on the contrary, I'll probably get Sinopharm (by far my...

A vaccine is better than no vaccine, but it is true that they are less effective than the Pfizer/Moderna ones, isn't it? Sinopharm is between 70-80%, while Sinovac's reports have reached as low as 50% in Brazil (although, to be fair, it's also reached 91% in Turkey I think). In any case, it's...

Just saw this particularly demotivating bit of news. Part of me thinks how can it be possible? I know we fucked up but to have the highest deaths per capita in the world, and by such a margin? Moreover, I keep seeing media outlets say countries like mine might take around 8 years to fully...

What I got from the original post that started this discussion (@adayasatiger correct me if I'm getting it wrong) is if it's wrong for someone to be attracted to characteristics that are privileged/pushed by society (and that basically always have roots in racist/sexist history). I'd think that...

I appreciate the information/insight but don't you think this comment should be worded differently if you don't want to discourage someone from taking the vaccine? It's hard to see an expert call it "trash" and not feel that way. Maybe word it differently and add the disclaimers you've said in...

Interesting! Do they say how they know secure types are around 50%?

I kinda wish they don't do this, although it seems like the most "practical" workaround; like, most HMs are things that the Pokemon should just be able to do by themselves (cut a tree, smash a rock, swim)... it won't happen but I'd love for Pokemon to go full-on immersion, like maybe have their...

With the chibi artstyle, they really should have at least implemented following Pokemon (I imagine it'd be easier than in full 3D). That's the one feature that I've seen everyone love.

I wonder if the initial settlement is the precursor to one of the current-era cities or towns. If it is, I hope it's Hearthome: "This friendly city started as a place where people and Pokémon gathered, then grew into a center of commerce". Now that looks cute!

Big hug to you. It's super understandable that your dad sharing that article would make you feel bad, I would be the same. I guess it's just difficult and hurtful that a parent would reject such a fundamental part of oneself. I feel bad whenever my mom rapidly changes the channel or things when...

I love Popplio and the idea of Primarina (siren selkie? Queen) but it ended up too overdesigned and oddly proportioned. Primarina barely looks like it could swim.

Same. I think my earliest memory of being "told off" is my aunt telling me to not sit crossed-legged. My dad was the worst though, he would zoom in on ridiculously little things like telling me to hold notebooks like this: Instead of this: Or telling me I had to greet him with a "firm...

My first year of college, I had somehow been invited to a "hang". They were having issues connecting the speakers to their phones, so I offered my mp3 player, since I had a semi-decent playlist for the occasion (throwback reggaeton from when we were all kids basically)... Except as soon as I...

Thanks! Here's the "most compatible" thing for anyone that's interested. If you want to Ctrl+F yourself, note that I had to remove some characters from the usernames (spaces, dots, ', ’ and &), so search for your username without those symbols. The number next to each name is the strength of...
