That's probably my favorite pokemon full art that I don't have yet. I'd like to try harder for it but I've been spending wonder picks to try for the full art trainers and deck utility cards.

I've had the same issue and it was bad enough that I thought I was having problems on WG.

As it turns out something about Lemmy is causing a lot of hang ups and timeouts on Boost. Unfortunately I'm tired of waiting for the next update and I've moved to Jerboa for the time being as it is MUCH faster for me.

FWIW I was seeing slowdowns and lockups on Thunder recently out of nowhere too so it may not be confined to Boost. Jerboa does not seem to be affected, but may be lacking some of the features you like from Boost.

Hopefully the app is updated soon and hasn't been abandoned.

For anyone else who was confused about the context, the translation of the text accompanying the OP helps. Emphasis mine.

Here's someone's hand, here's someone's head, here's someone else's head, here's Denchik resting peacefully, we'll cover his heel so as not to hurt him. And here's my squirrel and Frol chilit, in my place, asshole." This is more shocking than a horror movie. A Russian serviceman with the call sign Sam showed how with one comrade he survives in position in a narrow irrigation pipe where the corpses of 6 other Russian servicemen openly lie and decompose. A resting bed is at the back of the pipe and they have to crawl over the corpses to observe. Such "movement" is filmed by the Russian military to confirm their position, otherwise they will be shot by their commanders as they withdraw. Obviously, the assault group was sent to an area that is shot by Ukrainians, it is impossible to go forward or backward in clear weather, a wounded man who tried to leave was immediately eliminated. Under such conditions it should not be surprising that Russian fighters commit suicide en masse. Please help identify the area - very similar to the area of the village of Spirne.

There's a really nice Alakazam full art with a similar style. I haven't pulled one myself but I see them in collections sometimes.

Wow what a beauty!

Mate these ghouls literally rolled back Roe v Wade right in front of the world's face. I don't think they care what we think or how much coverage they get. They are immune to the consequences of their actions and thus will continue to act this way.

Praise be.

Don't know, I don't engage with that nonsense.

Editing to add:

Let's not pretend there aren't shitheads on every side of every argument. If people are behaving in ways that aren't what the home instances want, they should be dealt with by their instance admins and moderation. Doesn't matter if you eat meat, plants, or paint chips. We don't have to be like this, it's a choice.

not sure what we can do about it.

Discourage it instead of fanning the flames. Take a stance against bad faith actors and trolls, the same shit we've always done.

I think out of desperation to grow and thrive a lot of things are being let go and ignored. As always, this will only lead to things deteriorating until the place is detestable like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Instead of embracing the things we can do better than those platforms we've carved out a space on many of the major instances for the worst of these people, and that's a mistake IMO.

The problem is that toxicity leeches out across the fediverse which stifles growth as more and more negativity makes it to front pages around the web. I don't have the solution either but I do think more accountability is needed for users and moderators across the fediverse.

All of them are working as intended, can't ask for much more than that. I don't think it's healthy to get caught up in subscribers and all that too much. Things are generally trending positively, good enough for me.

There's been a disappointing uptick in negative interactions on the fediverse lately (IMO) and that's more disturbing to me than community numbers. Some (again, IMO) questionable decisions are being made in some of the larger places on the fediverse but a lot of it is users taking it as a challenge or a right of passage to get banned from communities or instances so they can meme and rant about it. It's silly behavior and we can do better than this.

Only a recent discovery for me but I'm liking what I've been hearing. The suggestions on tidal seem much more in tune with my preferences compared to Spotify and I'm finding lots of new (to me) stuff I really like, this being one such example.
