i know no one cares that much and that there are much bigger issues out there but doing any kind of research right now is like herding screaming cats into a bathtub

(you do not get diabetes from eating too many sweets! it's fine!)

if you want to know a dirty secret about science and research, it is that it takes FOREVER to do right partially because good research does take time but also because IRB reviews will send shit back for uploading in the wrong spot :) even though they can do it themselves :)

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

i don't really get the "value" argument of shiny hunting (as in, there is an objective measure of value) and i think some of you need to eat a vegetable or breathe air that isn't in your house

i think one of the funniest things pokemon could do here is if they were to ever give this an evolution, give it the benjamin buttons effect where each subsequent evolution makes it younger looking
I love Mega Drampa. The radiation from Mega Evolution is said to revert its age, so the way its fur blackens isn't just "Cloud Nine" clouds frenzying into a storm, but also the white hair regaining its colour. Likewise, its movements become faster and more animated (y'know, less geriatric).

personally i think it's understandable for video games to be expensive but if they're expensive they need to be good and the people who make them need to get paid and treated well
