BREAKING: Hurricane Hunters just measured an almost unbelievable 889 mb pressure inside Hurricane Polo.
If that reading is confirmed, Polo would become the second strongest hurricane ever recorded in the eastern Pacific, behind only Hurricane Patricia in 2015.
What makes this even more remarkable is how quickly Polo got here. The storm has intensified at an extraordinary rate, being only a tropical storm 24 hours ago.
An 889 mb pressure is an exceptionally rare number in the eastern Pacific, putting Polo into truly historic territory.
We are watching one of the strongest Pacific hurricanes ever observed unfold in real time.

You have no idea how embarrassingly low the bar really is.
Mainstream society is absolutely retarded. If you consciously knew this, you’d stop doubting yourself and go all in.

This dad is a jackass
UPDATE: WE GOT THE CARD BACK!!
Well, that was an unexpected and nice turn of events. What a rollercoaster of a weekend.
We were able to set up a meeting with the person my son dealt with at the Pokemon XP trading zone. It was an unpleasant confrontation, but at least the right thing got done, and we're grateful.
I realize that recovering my son's card wouldn't have been possible without the Pokemon community's amazing support. Special shout outs to @DeepPocketMnstr, @dyli_io, @nickabouzeid, @tim_liu @ScottPytlik, and countless others I should be naming here, but I'm exhausted.
We're so grateful, all of you, for your support.
I do wish to address those of you who heaped vitriol toward me and my son this weekend: I just want to reiterate that our only goal of sharing this story was to make a plea for adults to not take advantage of kids in these enthusiast communities. We never desired for clout in the Pokemon community; we don't desire to be Pokemon influencers; nor did we expect any gifts or free things.
Some of you have insisted in sending my son some things to compensate for his earlier loss. We're grateful. We will carefully inventory the value of all items shared with him, and our family commits to donating the equivalent cash to @StJude Children's Research Hospital, an organization we truly admire and support.
Thank you again. I'm so over all of this, and this will be my final comment on the matter.
God bless!

Just saw an Instagram reel that said:
“At some point you become the age that your parents were in your childhood memories, only you don’t feel like an adult, and you realize your parents were still just kids trying to figure it out too”
And that shit just fucked me up.

Solo 6 episodios de 30 minutos, sin dragones, sin batallas, sin grandes intrigas, con toques de comedia y aun así, la temporada de El Caballero de los Siete Reinos es mejor que cualquier temporada de La Casa del Dragón.
Necesitaba decirlo.

Time to hurt some feelings🫡💚
We tolerate entire industries taking a cut from hunger, illness, shelter, heat, and even death. But someone makes $40 on a collectible you can simply walk away from, and suddenly everyone discovers class consciousness.
Grocery stores profit because you have to eat. Landlords profit because you need shelter. Utilities profit because you need heat and water. Pharmaceutical companies profit because patients cannot simply choose not to need medicine. A reseller profits because you really wanted shiny cardboard.
Your electric company can shut off your power. Your landlord can remove the roof over your head. A reseller can only deny you a toy. Guess which one inspires the internet meltdown?
People defend rent increases as “market rates,” hospital bills as “the cost of care,” and grocery markups as “the cost of doing business.” But check one eBay comp and suddenly market value is immoral.
Apparently capitalism is perfectly acceptable until it touches your hobby. Everyone becomes a socialist the moment they miss a retail drop.
You can refuse to buy a collectible. You cannot refuse to need food, shelter, medicine, water, or electricity. Yet somehow the optional purchase produces the bigger tantrum.
You are not being exploited because somebody else bought the toy first. You are experiencing the unfamiliar sensation of being told “no.”
