The Official First World Problems Thread™

Though I figure it's only a matter of time before the crazies in this country start banning things that don't exist...
Not banning, but warning people not to fall victim to urban legends:
Straughn said she is aware that the scam is touted online as an urban legend, but she wants to warn the public as a precautionary measure.

Maryland. FFS. I need to get out of here. Is there anywhere I can still convert $300k into a big, working farm with two empty barns?
-
I'd have thought Hungary would be top.

-
It's about time I contributed:
The nearest cash machine (ATM) was out of commission, so I had to go into town to get cash. By the time I got back with cash and some lunch my lunch break was pretty much over. As a result, I have had no chance to play my copy of ORAS.
This is the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone.
-
At least by not getting to play your copy of ORAS, you didn't get to spend an hour last night suffering from missed Hypnosis casts while trying to catch legendaries with Pressure, and then having to reset because the damn thing rolled the wrong IVs.
This happened to a... friend... yes, totally, a friend! >_>
-
My car heater won't blow hot air this morning. My legs are cold and my visibility was shit because my interior got fogged up and I couldn't do much about it other than wipe away what I could with my gloved hand from time to time.
-
not looking forward to doing all the legendary resetting. wondering whether it might actually be quicker to chain reset my x and y to slowly generate enough masterballs to catch each legendary with.
-
I think the MB is faster to get to in ORAS though, isn't it?
Besides, beyond the cover legendaries, there're probably only a small handful of legendaries (1) worth resetting over because they're usable and (2) not banned in Battle Maison & WFC battles. I just happened to be working on those last night. But hey, at least the legendary dogs don't run any more! \o/
-

WTF.
-
I'm not sure, but I kinda feel like I should reset the old one either way, resetting the new one will delay transferring all my competitive mons and I want to start crushing fools again.
As for the legendaries, I think there are probably quite a few that I will want to get sorted. I know many might be banned in wifi battles, but as that might not be true forever, and I wont necessarily want to go through the rigmarole of sorting them out later on (e.g. if one is banned now and unbanned later, I wont want to come back to ORAS and run through the game to reset the one I'm missing)
I'm wondering if they are doing mew download events and stuff in the coming months. They say all pokemon will be obtainable between the 3ds games with this release, so there must be some promo for these event mons coming down the line.
I didn't reset my bank celebi which is a little annoying. oh well, too late now I suppose.
-
I've only seen "all non-event pokemon" will be obtainable, so I wouldn't necessarily bet the farm on the mew/celebis of the world.
Here's hoping my ORAS-obtainable-only Battle Maison team doesn't embarrass itself on super singles tonight!
-
obviously this is all still relevant to first world problems. Moaning about how hard it is to catch 'em all is quite possibly the epitome of first world problems.
-
Until I tried it I was a sceptic, but I find doubles a vastly superior format. so much more depth to the progress of the game than the singles formats.
Much easier to crush the Maisons with as well. not as easy as triple battles (assuming you can still trick the AI), but much more satisfying.
-

Pretty much anywhere from the great plains westward. Though it may cost you more than that.
-

that was flipping annoying. i had one of them that i had inflicted sleep onto. flipping sleep! the thing was a sleep and it fracking still ran!
i never tried hunting them with wobuffet or whatever that dude's name what and inflicting arena trap on them, but i heard that that also didn't work (also i really hate wobuffet's moveset)
-
Mean Look works.
So, before figuring out that the whole running Legendary Bird schtick in X/Y was a temporary thing, I bred a reasonably well IV'd physical Adamant Ralts with Mean Look, raised it to 40-something for Hypnosis, then turned it into a False Swipe/Psycho Cut Gallade.
And now I found out that Mean Look isn't even useful in ORAS because they took all the difficulty out of the game.
Which is totally a FWP, and totally something I'm actually happy about (and the people who bitch about GF taking all the difficulty out of the game can go teach their grandmother to suck eggs).
-
yeah. now if they would take version specific out of their tgames. i'm not happy about needing to buy both X and Y to get the team i want (one is only in X and one is only in Y. the other four are in both. ..... grrrrrrrrrr..... also getting febass is a bloody nightmare... but i do like the moveset of milotic so i consider it worth it)
-
Reddit + GTS has more or less solved the version exclusive problem at this point, tho. And none of the exclusives are really that game breaking for play-through.
Feebas, though... he'll probably be a FWP for a while (again, unless you GTS it).
-
And none of the exclusives are really that game breaking for play-through.
no, this is true....
of course i do have the pleasure of knowing that i have one of the very few in the world genuine non cheated shiny Milotic's in the world (not many people who want milotic are patient enough to get a shiny the hard way(that took bloody forever to get! but shiny......))
I also wish that i dodn't take the EV/IV penalty for giving my dragonair an everstone... but seriously i hate the model for dragonite and as i'm not building a team for PVP competition i can carry a slightly nerfed dragonair.
-
why not just a gothitelle with the auto trap ability (whatever it's called)? seems better
-
I also wish that i dodn't take the base stat penalty for giving my dragonair an everstone...
PTFY
And you can always just press B every time it levels up, you don't have to waste a perfectly good held item slot :P
-
i'm not always paying attention when it levels to do that and you can't unevolve.
as for EV/IV/basestat.... have i mentioned i'm very much a casual player? i mean my go to fire type is Vulpix/NineTails, even though there are LOADS better fire types in the game (although i'm loving fennec in X so that might change)

@Intercourse said:
What isn't banned in the EU?
Large American corporations.
The EU in all its grace and mercy merely "fines" those (to the tune of hundreds of millions a year) for various made-up offenses. Banning them outright would slow down that particular gravy-train.

Skipping past Pokemon discussions on TDWTF.

You could crack the window. The heater isn't producing heat anyway, and matching the humidity between interior and exterior of car (via cracked window) will clear the glass.
-
I have too many vacations away from San Diego coming up.
-
Because Goat Simulator and Pet Rock Simulator aren't enough....now there's a game where you play QWOP with a piece of bread...
-
Is there anywhere I can still convert $300k into a big, working farm with two empty barns?
Probably most of the midwest.
-
December 1st isn't over yet and I've already heard on the radio Wham!'s Last Christmas once and Mariah Carrey's All I Want For Christmas Is You twice.
-
I think most of the retail stores I've been in turned on the Christmas music on Friday.
I was in a grocery store on Saturday, I think, and they had a cover version of some old Madonna song from the 80s.
-
Re plastic money use...
Oz does.
Polymer banknotes are not only used here, but were invented here by CSIRO.
-
I've been lucky to not have gone anywhere that plays music recently...
-
You Australians are crazy!
What next? New Year's Eve in the summer?

Another blog that I read reports a sort of tontine. You're still in the running until you hear The Little Drummer Boy. We've already lost many. Here's the official signup page.
And here's the excerpt for those who don't follow links:
It’s very easy: So long as you don’t hear “The Little Drummer Boy,”
you’re a contender. As soon as you hear it on the radio, on TV, in a
store, wherever, you’re out. And you record your loss on the official
reporting form, then tell us all about it on the Facebook wall, along
with the time and place of your demise.(Special note: You cannot be done in by anyone tricking you into hearing
the dreaded tune or otherwise hitting you with it on purpose. Such
exposure doesn’t count.)What’s the time frame? The game begins the day after Thanksgiving (Black
Friday) at 12:00 am local time and continues until 12:00 am the morning
of Christmas Eve. The day of Christmas Eve, if you haven’t been
puh-rum-pum-pum-pummed, you win. For this year, anyway.

Not only that, but we have Christmas in July...

New jeans are new.
You are going to break our selvedge jeans in for our customers.
You will have to agree to not wash them for 6 months.
You will have to agree to update what you get up to in them on HistoryTag.
And before you get them sent to you have pay a small deposit, which we will refund on their safe return.
When we get them back, we will expertly wash them.
And then we will sell these beautiful jeans.
You will have 20% of the sale.
So in effect you will be paid to wear jeans.
-
Damn hipsters
-
You will have to agree to not wash them for 6 months.
When we get them back, we will expertly wash them.
Then what's the fucking point?
Look, when I wanted to make my jeans look worn out and torn, I took a fucking rock to them. Back in my childhood days, that was enough.
-
The people they lend the jeans to don't know how to wash them expertly.
Btw, do they have to agree to actually wear them?
-
You will have to agree to not wash them for 6 months.
I don't think that will be a worry for most hipsters.
-

And there's probably an app to turn your twitter feed into HistoryTag (whatever TF that is).

But why?

How else are you supposed to grow a child?

Having to click the to figure out WTF @JazzyJosh is talking about.

But I'm Doing It Right, except I made three posts instead of one. Thanks @CodingHorrorBot
