Did the hit rate for Booster Boxes change with OP15?

So I always understood there to be at least three hits with booster boxes right?

I just opened an OP15 box and the only "hit" was the Nami alt art. Did the hit rates change or did I get boned by a refilled BB?

(I say refilled because I bought the bb unsealed)

How should I prepare for this wedding?

Hi! Midwesterner here needing some input.

How is the weather there in April?

I have a wedding next year and I am curious to see if I should look into some linen suits and outerwear due to the heat or would a regular cotton suit still be ok?

I'm staying away from wool regardless.

The time my mom found out that I wear thongs as a man in my late twenties.

Ok first and foremost - they are Calvin Klein mens thongs.

This was back when I was 28 and I moved back home with my parents for a year. My roommates and I were going our separate ways and at the time I wasn't sure if I could afford to live on my own. I made the decision to bite the bullet and move back in with my parents to save some money and chip away at some debt.

I was super grateful that they were helping me out and I told them that I didn't want them to go out of their way to do things for me like I was a kid. Well I guess moms are gonna be moms and still try to take care of their kids.

I come home from work one day and I see my freshly done laundry folded on my bed. I also see three of my thongs folded up next to my socks.

Honestly I was embarrassed.

Now my parents are kind of "old school" so I didn't want them to make crazy assumptions based on my underwear. Nothing was ever said to me and they haven't treated me any differently since I've moved out.

Would this still be called a retcon?

This is in regards to writing a story and the world building/Lore behind that world.

If the author has a character that says: "Wow you have one of the divine swords. There's only 5 left in the world." This is seen as the author speaking through the character and dropping exposition that helps build the lore of the sword and the world. Right?

However if later on in the story 12 people have a divine sword and the author makes no mention of the character that said there's only 5 being wrong and they just gloss over the fact this was said - is that a retcon?

Is there a term for a justification like "The character that said this probably just didn't know". An unreliable narrator, maybe?

The slowest of slow days in the office

I locked in earlier in the week and most of my tasks I finished on Wednesday. Both my managers are out traveling so it's pretty quiet in my corner of the office.

How's the I-65N traffic been lately?

Mostly at that split between I-65N and (I think) I-70. I live up on the Old Northside and for a few months now, I've been avoiding going/doing anything in the Greenwood area because I always hit the backed up traffic on the way home.

Has it gotten any better?

People are forgetting that just because it's an "opinion" it doesn't mean the opinion can't be wrong.

I see this a lot in media/media literacy discourse.

If you are forming an opinion based on something that you misunderstood then it's unfair to try to shield yourself from criticism under the guise of "It's just my opinion. I'm allowed to have an opinion". Especially if said person was the one who decided to engage in the discourse in the first place.

I don't know if its ego or whatever but admitting you were wrong shows more maturity and understanding and definitely leads to better discourse.

I'll admit there's been some times where I missed the mark on some things.

EDIT: This post might be getting away from me.

So an example of what I am talking about above would be if someone said -Obi-wan was a villain because he tried to kill Anakin to steal Padme and they refused to take criticism on it because it's just their opinion even though this person fundamentally misunderstood the plot

(I hope some people know Star Wars so that makes sense lol)
