To every young or aspiring dev out there, look, some free advice. (Older devs, you know better. 💀)

For any game you are going to work on that has any GLIMMER of possible localization. Or editing. Or anything involving writing really...

DO NOT HARD-CODE THE VO/NON-VO/UI TEXT STRINGS.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Hey #k-beauty peeps!

I am having to rebuild skincare my regimen soon, and I'd love to year about your fav brands & products.

Ideally cleanser + toner + serum(s) + moisturizer at the very least. Would love to hear of any other products though!

Please share your favs!

Sometimes you have a call with someone & you just talk about your favorite cheeses & charcuterie boards & brie bakers & crackers & spreads (apricot & jalapeno) & that is honestly the best conversation you will have in the entire week.

Cheeeeeese.

(Get yourself a brie baker, friend. <3)

Important PSA!

Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut.

That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

Voirey Linger @voireylinger.bsky.social · 12d

Friends, Spooky season is upon us.

Remember... foods dyed black with charcoal can interfere with medications. Don't eat them if you have an Rx

It's the "eating plastic" that'll kill me from stress one day.

(Goblin will snag something and RUN while trying to snarf the thing up as fast as she can the second I spot her, she knows, she fuckin KNOWS she is not supposed to eat whatever she found, sigh.)

Ugh, yes, of course I love her anyway.

"Cats don't actually love you"

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don't you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it's helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

This flew under the radar with all the batshit stuff happening at HHS but this has major implications. This could be used to revoke the use authorization or at least severely restrict it and as a result, severely restrict abortion nationally.
