Something that will help you cope with your frustration with society is knowing that trends exist on a swing set. Things will always swing one way to the furthest extreme before swinging back to the opposite extreme.
Look at pants. We got them tighter and tighter until they couldn't get any more tight, then swung back to JNKOs, then invented jeggings, and now we're back to baggy pants.
Shoes: Thin stilettos to wide chunky platforms to stilettos to platforms again. Nails. Eyelashes. Hair. As big as you can get them, as crazy as you can, then simple and tiny again, then back to big.
And every once in a while new technology is invented and we have to use it on absolutely everything, even if it's stupid, until we get annoyed with ourselves and cut it out.
Then once decade as a new one comes around we get delusions about Entering A New Age and get funky with it for a bit.
That's it. That's all. We're just going through the cycles.
Normally I don't like "love at first sight" as a trope but Mulder and Scully literally just looked at each other and they both went "I'm gonna spend my life with this weirdo" and just filed that away for later and honestly good for them for inventing love
this is the best album release of all time because where else are you going to get unironic takes like this and then even get a few hundred people to agree with it
Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised.
Every year, researchers try to predict the four influenza strains that are most likely to be prevalent during the upcoming flu season. And every year, people line up to get their updated vaccine, hoping the researchers formulated the shot correctly.
The same is true of COVID vaccines, which have been reformulated to target sub-variants of the most prevalent strains circulating in the U.S.
This new strategy would eliminate the need to create all these different shots, because it targets a part of the viral genome that is common to all strains of a virus. The vaccine, how it works, and a demonstration of its efficacy in mice is described in a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“What I want to emphasize about this vaccine strategy is that it is broad,” said UCR virologist and paper author Rong Hai. “It is broadly applicable to any number of viruses, broadly effective against any variant of a virus, and safe for a broad spectrum of people. This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”
If you are ever sad please remember that the material component of the Warding Bond spell is a pair of matching rings that the two subjects of the bond both have to wear for the spells duration and imagine that any time any of The Bad Kids cast that spell they’re wearing friendship bracelets instead
I don’t think it can be understated just how convincing the development of Dorym is considering the majority of its early development happened during the span of a year that we did not see, and has continued to evolve despite one of the players having not been at the table in nearly twice as long
