tomfoolery is my hobby

Second image is a handout about the DBT skill Urge Surfing, broken up into four sections.

The first section reads: Urge surfing is a technique for managing your unwanted behaviors. Rather than giving in to an urge, you will ride it out, like a surfer riding a wave. After a short time, the urge will pass on its own.

This technique can be used to stop or reduce drug and alcohol use, emotional reactions such as “blowing up” when angry, gambling, and other unwanted behaviors.

Second section has a cresting wave on a graph with time on the horizontal axis and intensity of urge on the vertical axis. From left to right, it reads:

[low time, low intensity] Trigger: An urge is triggered by a person, place, thought, feeling, or something else.

[increasing time, intensity] Rise: The urge becomes more intense. This may happen gradually or very suddenly.

[3rd time, highest intensity] Peak: The urge reaches its most intense point. It may feel as if the urge will never go away.

[last time, less intensity] Fall: The urge loses intensity and eventually fades away.

Third section is titled How to Practice Urge Surfing. It reads:

Acknowledge you are having an urge.

Notice your thoughts and feelings without trying to change or suppress them. Note: it is normal to feel some discomfort during an urge.

Remind yourself:

It is okay to have urges. They are natural reactions to addictions and habits.

An urge is a feeling, not a "must." I can have this feeling and choose not to act.

Some discomfort is okay. I don't have to change it.

An urge is temporary. Like any other feeling, it will pass on its own.

Fourth section is titled Other Skills. It reads:

Managing Triggers

Use coping skills to reduce the power of triggers. Know your triggers ahead of time, and have a strategy or skill prepared for each one.

Examples: deep breathing if stressed, eating if hungry, leaving a location if it is high risk

Delay & Distraction

Do something to take your mind off the urge. Every minute you delay increases the chance of the urge weakening on its own.

Examples: go for a walk, listen to music, call a friend, read a book, practice a hobby.

• the board is in front of a classroom, and the Math is waaay too advanced for whatever level of pupil these kids are supposed to be; like having the calculus integral in front of kindergartners, or relativistic physics in front of high schoolers.

• the board is in front of Criminals, who are Planning Something, and by all rights there ought to be no Math there to begin with. Like. You’re planning a Heist why do you have the Full Lagrangian on there. Are we taking a rocket to the bank.

If you still have it (or were planning on downloading it through other means) make sure you get everything you were planning to transfer moved before then, and move any pokemon out of bank you don't wish to transfer.

If you have any Ribbon Masters that you need to transfer to newer games, now is the time to do that.

If you need an alternative to Pokemon Bank and your 3Ds/2Ds is hacked, you can install PKSM (a pokemon save editor for the 3Ds/2Ds) to use as pokemon storage. You can also back up your saves through Checkpoint and use PKHex to create files for individual pokemon to keep on your computer.
