I'm going to try kale on a hamburger and you can't stop me.

I'm starting to think my feeling tired after my walk yesterday was a sodium thing due to a combination of sweating and currently having a (quite by accident) low sodium diet. Some dinner options offset that, but during the day? Very low.

I like the "hide post for me" option. I don't follow a lot of people, so if there's something I'd rather not see in my timeline, it could be there a while. I don't want to just mute people because there's one post that, for whatever reason, I don't want to keep seeing.

Your Stealth skill has decreased - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder... What, you thought skills could only increase? That might normally be the case, but your stealth was simply that bad. #egscomics #hiveworks #webcomics

Immortals in EGS are a bit like diet fae. They're not nearly as dangerous as many fae of myth, but some of the same general cautions one might take still apply.

Is it sedentary if you're sitting, but also rapidly moving your legs for a half hour or more? Asking for a friend.

(Throws hands up in the air) I'm just going to track what calories I can, and make adjustments based on how I feel. and what progress does and doesn't seem to be happening with weight, appearance, and clothing fit ☝️🧐 (Fidgeting alone makes "activity level" difficult to really know with confidence.)

"This story is a work of fiction, yadda yadda yadda" That disclaimer is excessive. Just right "BRO, IT'S NOT REAL!"

Fair warning to all writers: If you have a character sarcastically call someone unrelated to them "dad" or "mom", someone WILL take it literally. Maybe not many people, but someone somewhere, definitely.

"Multiply how much you weigh by 15 to get how many calories you need to maintain your current weight." (MATH!) ...By this math, I should have been losing weight every week just by existing before.

"Hey, Maomao! How goes all that apothecary diary writing you do?" "What diary? I don't commit my inner thoughts to paper. They could literally get me executed."

What I've learned about going for walks is I probably won't feel tired during them, and it's AFTER the walk that I'll realize "oh. 5000 steps all at once is a lot, actually". (To be fair, I probably would have taken a shorter route if I knew it would be over 5000 steps. That surprised me.)

I've learned that "hitorigoto" in Japanese can mean soliloquy, monologue, and/or speaking to oneself. I found this out because it's in the Japanese name for The Apothecary diaries, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto. This stood out to me because of Bocchi the Rock, as the protagonist's name is Hitori Gotoh.

Tedd from El Goonish Shive fanart! I'm not caught up in the story, but was inspired by a few recent scenes and fun designs!

Immortal appearances - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek... They have elf ears! Except when they don't. And their elf ears get bigger with age! Except when they don't. (Get comfortable, it goes on like this.) #egscomics #hiveworks #webcomics

I feel like Google Translate was getting better, then suddenly got less helpful, and if I had to guess, it’s AI related. To be clear, pure guess. It’s just I can imagine it assuming context it hadn’t previously to be “helpful”.

There's just something so disingenuous feeling about a big video game making the villains over-the-top capitalists. Like, even if it's the sincere feelings of some of the writers for the game, it feels off.

I've noticed what feels like a lot of people on YouTube using "as well" redundantly at the end of sentences. They're included in sentences that already had words like "also", the information "as well" provides already given. It feels like sentence filler that people add without thinking about it.

Something to look out for in writing is what I’ve just now decided to call “exposition possession”. This is when a character momentarily goes out of character to say or ask something out of character for the sake of moving information along. They’ve been briefly possessed by exposition.
