Hi sorry I need to do some more Pokemon posting bc this is the funniest shit. the cute-looking Pokèmon TCG series is making "TM10" part of its branding. Like, TM10 from the games - its the TM for the move Hidden Power, thats cute! Its reflecting the main character discovering herself in the same way the move works in the game, what a cute little detail!
Except uh. Just one problem.
Game Freak in all their brilliance removed Hidden Power from the franchise four years ago in Generation 8* and its still not able to be used in Scarlet and Violet. Its not just that you cant teach it to Pokèmon anymore, you straight up cannot use the attack even if you trade in Pokèmon from older games who know it. Its like a banned technique.
So then that begs the question – if the TCG show is gonna be referencing TM10 this much, but TM10 *isn't* Hidden Power anymore, surely that means TM10 is another similarly inspiring attack - Stored Power, or Calm Mind, or Smart Strike?
Well, depending on if its Gen 8 or 9, I hope the kids will have fun Discovering Their Own Magical Leaf and/or Discovering Their Own Ice Fang. Truly inspiring words. love how well managed this franchise is

Just watched the latest Buddy Daddies episode ( Ep 6, Love is Blind) and I have learned:
Rei plays the anime version of Mario kart
he plays it on anime PlayStation
Kazuki is the mom/malewife(Been knew but it's very prominent in this episode)
The worry wart mom(Kazuki) and the did you win dad(Rei) (ACTUALLY CANON)
Kazuki casually dropped he was abandoned by his parents and just ended up like that (Didn't even elaborate on it and just carried on with the conversation)
When Miri and Kazuki rub their faces together, Miri says "That's tickly!" I HEADCANON he has the ability to grow a beard but shaves daily
Kazuki just snapped that (fake) Gun in half like damn
Even though Rei looks scrawny he can and will kick ass
(HC)Miri most likely picked up the kind/attentive nature from Kazuki

12. Saying "I love you" in an unexpected moment (bonus: give me the unexpected moment)
Mox tells Hanger he loves him while pairing socks together when putting laundry away.
Mox with Socks
~
"Thanks for letting me crash here," Adam says, because the silence is too heavy. He folds the laundry as carefully as he can, sure not to go too quickly or linger too long on Mox's clothes as he folds them and puts them away. "I, uh. I really appreciate it."
Mox grins at him from where he's switching over the clothes to the dryer. "No problem. Figure it's the least I can do after all of our..." He trails off, a little smile on his lips. "Extracurricular activities."
Adam snorts out a little laugh. "That some crack at me being a former teacher?"
Mox tosses a wet sock at him, which Adam dodges. "It's a crack at you fucking me on the clock." He grins. "You know. It's at the place of work, but technically not the credit courses." He winks.
Adam chucks a paired ball of socks at Mox's head, which bounces off his chin and fall to the floor.
"What the fuck is this?" Mox asks, staring at the ball. "What did you do to my socks?!"
"I put them in a sock ball," Adam says, frowning. "What? How do you fold socks?"
"Like a normal fuckin' person," Mox grumbles. He unfolds the socks and does something strange. He folds only the part of the ankles over each other, leaving the feet parts dangling.
"That is - that looks so stupid." Adam folds another pair into a ball and tosses it in the air. "This? This is aerodynamic. This is effective." He chucks it at Mox's chest.
"Jesus, you're lucky I love you," Mox chuckles. And then he freezes. "Aw, shit."
"Hah!" Adam says, pointing at Mox. "You love me! I knew it!"
"I - no I don't," Mox says, chucking the socks back at Adam. "Sock induced coma or something. You're the worst part of everything and I only keep you around because of your giant cock or whatever."
"You love me," Adam says, grinning. He walks up to Mox and crowds him against the wall. "You said it, not me."
"Yeah, well, you don't have to rub that in." Mox's eyes flicker away, the tiniest hint of a frown on his lips.
Adam sighs. "You don't already know?" He tilts his head, presses a kiss to Mox's scarred forehead. "You dumb son of a bitch, I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you. Just thought it was too soon, is all."
"It is too soon," Mox grumbles. "Um. You still haven't said it."
Adam leans back, poking Mox in the cheek until he looks into his eyes. "I love you, dipshit."
Mox's smile is prettier than it has any right to be. "I fuckin' knew it. Nobody smears their tits with somebody else's blood and isn't into them."
"You're so fucking stupid," Adam laughs, but he leans in and kisses Mox. It might not be forever, and it might end in flames. But right now, he's here to bask in the glow.

!all about the q!characters just to lazy to add the q!
A bit of q!vegetta commentary. Kinda /neg, but kinda just me being ???????
I think it's really interesting how Vegetta is so out of touch with the island and the other islanders.
He wants to create chaos because he feels people have grown complacent and aren't trying to leave Quesadilla Island, but the majority of the older islanders are still working towards this goal.
Even more funny is that the person who's the most complacent and has expressed not being in a hurry to leave is Vegetta's own lover: Foolish.
(The new islanders are kinda exempt because they have just gotten here and still need to experience the horror. And Jaiden is up there with Foolish regarding complacency.)
He's currently surrounding himself with new islanders (and Roier, but Roier is often up to cause chaos for fun too, sooo yeah) that have barely scratched the surface of the lore of the island and therefore can't actually fill him in.
And him wanting to possibly kill eggs and not realising that Richas is considered Foolish's grandchild. Richas who considers Roier as one of his dads. I wonder how that conversation would go down...
It's interesting that Vegetta seemingly thinks Leo would be safe if he kills eggs because I don't think Leo would be. I think there are parents who would retaliate by killing his daughter.
And then there is the whole fact of him being kinda weak rn? Like he almost got taken out by the enderman? If he gets in a fight with older players rn, he's likely to get clapped.
Also apperently they're planning to pin the blame regarding the mines on Tubbo, but Tubbo got all his stuff wiped from his backpack yesterday. He doesn't have the means nor the interest to place mines all around?
It's a whole mess lmao

Okay so in the United States we CAN get the little sheets of pills, but I think that's mostly for over the counter medicines? As far as I understand it, many prescriptions that are fulfilled by an actual pharmacist (as in you have to go to the counter to get the pills) are all counted out by hand? tbh I've never thought to question it. I think they get the pills in bulk and have to portion them out? does it save waste? we just don't know
This is SO weird to me.
It seems unsafe? And impractical? Especially for prescription meds. Like, if someone's taking different medications and they're all in identical bottles with only very small print telling you what it is, that seems to be begging for mishaps. What if you have bad eyesight, or don't look carefully enough, or spill bottles?
Likewise with prescription meds having to be counted out individually, what if there's cross-contamination? What if someone gets distracted? What if something is accidentally mislabeled, how would you ever know?
For reference, part of my job is sorting out weekly pillboxes for people who can't do it themselves, for various reasons. This is what someone's meds usually look like:
Everything is clearly labeled! Big, easy to read, the packages are all labeled in braille as well. See the 2 blisters without a package? That seems unsafe doesn't it?
Well.
It actually isn't! (Having them laying around loose like this is still bad practice, don't do that) It has the name, dose, lot number and use-by all on it. If I dropped this entire box on the ground so that everything was scattered, it would still be easy to sort out.
Usually packages come in 3 sizes: N1 (10-20 pills) for acute treatment, N2 (around 50), and N3 (usually about 100, more rarely 200), for long-term/permanent medications. That's enough variety for most purposes (and treatments like a course of antibiotics are usually standardized so the package will already have exactly as many tablets as you need).
AND! Everything being in blisters also makes it easy to count out! If you give out individual pills, like when you're a vet.
Sorry ik it's probably just a cultural difference & there's a good reason for americans to be doing what they're doing but this whole thing is so strange to me 😅
