It has been shown to reduce wrinkles and fade acne scars and such.

I’m not sure about it’s effects when used on a mucus membrane like the vaginal walls.

No, snail mucin is very expensive and mostly used for skincare. It would be idiotic to pay that amount of money just for lube.

I somehow missed all news about Life by You. Yikes at some of those screenshots of development. The art style was…oof.

This genre desperately needs more competition and I’m happy Paralives has survived to see the light of day. I remember learning about it a long time ago and was very hopeful then. The dev team seems really responsive to what the fan base wants as well!

AI slop will do that

It looks like they’ve implemented a Storyteller type feature similar to Rimworld to help guide storylines. I’m def intrigued and hopeful!

I don’t yell at my kids, but they seem conditioned to only respond to being yelled at. getting them to do things they aren’t inclined to takes a lot of effort on my part and being consistent in that effort while working full time, cooking ,shopping and driving them to activities is more than I have managed so far. I have read how important consistently is but just have not achieved it yet.

I feel you SO HARD on this, truly. It’s really difficult to juggle everything and still be a “perfect” parent. I lose my shit sometimes as well, it’s inevitable.

The library is a great idea! It sets a good tone for learning and it’s not as distracting as being at home where all the cool stuff is lol

No, not at all! The early release got pushed back, but it’s really going to happen this upcoming Monday.

Been in development for about 7 years now. It’s a really dedicated, if small, team.

Reading is non-negotiable in my house. His teacher this year also required 20 minutes of daily reading as homework, so it was easy enough to keep it up. I don’t care what my kid reads as long as he’s reading - that means it can be Dogman or Captain Underpants books or whatever he wants to read for those 30 minutes. Sometimes he chooses to write something for that time because he’s found a love of writing recently.

Outings are our family time. The experience itself is enough for me, I don’t push the educational angle a lot. We just talk about the stuff we’re seeing and it leads to deeper conversations about the world or him or whatever he wants to talk about.

This is just to help inspire you for the summer, sorry I don’t have more recommendations for workbooks and the like. We just don’t use them outside of school because his classroom is already so structured.

For summer, I usually enforce 30 minutes of reading a day and otherwise take local trips for hands-on type education. Last summer, we hit tidepools and the history museum and did some kid-friendly science experiments.

You could look for workbooks or something similar for more targeted subjects.

Probably AI.

On the subject, my millennial ass hates watching videos with the sound on. I’d rather read captions so if this is a real trend picking up and it’s not AI, then great.

What motivation does anyone have to lie to you about knowing someone like this?

Has he said why specifically why he wants to volunteer at a women’s shelter?

Yes, everything that has happened to you in your life has happened exactly the same to everyone else in the entire world.

If you’re so insistent on believing that there isn’t anyone who is homophobic enough to not wipe their ass, I can’t help you.

Ignore the countless anecdotes and tales from people who have met people like this all you want.

I think you don’t understand the depths and prevalence of homophobia in our culture.

Not all parents are good at parenting either.

Get enough kids teasing each other by calling each other gay and I can easily see how a kid might get some ideas about this.

Usually it’s men who feel it’s gay to go anywhere near their own buttholes.

I’ve never been able to understand that level of homophobia and self-hatred.

Terrible taste. A young girl was brutally murdered in real life.

Can easily use another song or write something that isn’t a literal retelling of her murder.

Yeah I last read that hantavirus has an RTO of .05 whereas Covid was like .3. I could be totally wrong on these numbers because I’m relying on memory, but hantavirus is much harder to catch than Covid.

HPS is a severe and potentially deadly disease that affects the lungs. Symptoms of HPS usually start to show 1 to 8 weeks after contact with an infected rodent.

Early symptoms can include:

fatigue fever muscle aches, especially in the large muscle groups like the thighs, hips, back, and sometimes shoulders About half of all HPS patients also experience:

headaches dizziness chills abdominal problems, like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain Four to 10 days after the initial phase of illness, the late symptoms of HPS appear. These symptoms include coughing and shortness of breath. Patients might experience tightness in the chest, as the lungs fill with fluid.

HPS can be deadly. Thirty-eight percent of people who develop respiratory symptoms may die from the disease.

Hantavirus can be spread once mild symptoms appear, which unfortunately are so mild that most people wouldn’t even think about it being hantavirus. And it can take up to 8 weeks for symptoms to start to appear.

Edit: In addition, the fact that a flight attendant managed to catch it does speak towards it being more contagious than previously thought.

To be fair, it wasn’t known that hantavirus had killed the first passenger yet. That passenger was elderly and it’s pretty common for elderly people to die on cruise ships.

Or trust that the people who’s actual job to handle this problem will do what they need to.

Hahahahahahaha

Haaaaaahahahahahahaha
