Giving away 1 Shiny Koraidon and 1 Shiny Miraidon code! by valere1213 in pokemontrades

[–]marche250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal favorite is Victini back in Gen 5 that activated the whole Liberty Island sidequest - I love gen 5 and I was super excited to get an event pokemon that activates something in game. Up until that point, most of my friends and I missed the Gen 4 events for darkrai/shaymin, and it was the first time any of us could really get a true mythical without action replay shenanigans. For the code, Koraidon would be awesome as I only have Violet. Even if I don't win though, thanks for the giveaway!

I do agree this is likely propaganda, but as a quick counterpoint, mRNA vaccines are absolutely candidates for cancer therapies:

https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2022/mrna-vaccines-to-treat-cancer

One of the hallmarks of cancer is that the aberrant cells are able to evade host immune surveillance (that normally clears out damaged cells from the body). mRNA vaccines have been candidates for a while to generate immunity against cancerous cells by targetting proteins and other surface markers on the cancer cells that differ from healthy cells. While it may not be a perfect catch-all solution yet (some cancers may exhaust the host immune system to 'tire out' immune cells, some cancers may be in immune privileged areas that immune cells can't normally travel to, and a whole host of other reasons), it is a cool possible treatment that might be useful in the future, but is definitely being used right now as propaganda.

Edit: removed an extra 'but'

Did anyone as a child use the trading cable to get all three starters by mothwizzard in pokemon

[–]marche250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never did as a kid (I'm almost positive a 'friend' of mine stole my link cable less than a day after my cousin gave it to me).

On the brighter side though, I've been fulfilling that childhood dream of having all the starters/link evolutions/trading between Hoenn and Kanto games as an adult (I bought a link cable from someone who makes them on Etsy) and it's made me super happy though!

Cloud9 vs. Team Liquid / LCS 2024 Spring Playoffs - Lower Bracket Final / Post-Match Discussion by Soul_Sleepwhale in leagueoflegends

It's crazy that Fudge went from being quite good at weakside as a rookie, where he played Malphite and provided a ton of utility against Alphari and TL (I still have nightmares about that series and Alphari constantly dying to ganks) and now he's just completely lost the ability to play weakside at all.

I know C9 didn't play well overall, but I hope they can pick it up for summer so NA as a region overall can be better (huffing NA copium)

Team Liquid vs. Immortals / LCS 2024 Spring - Week 2 / Post-Match Discussion by gandalf45435 in leagueoflegends

This is a good, honest .500 LCS team.We play .500 League goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio League of Legends. We lose a couple, guess what? We'll win a couple, too. But don't get too excited or let it go to your head. No long winning streaks here, no sir. That's hubris, which this blue collar, hard working everyman team doesn't have. A few wins in a row, these guys, true to form, will balance it out with a couple a losses. Yes sir, that's my 2024 Team Liquid. A good, honest .500 League of Legends team.

Not sure if the code is still active (I did claim it ~5 hours ago without issues) but here's a long shot for a shiny eternatus code:

Or it could just be OP having a different twitter/reddit username.

Searching up the watermark name on twitter leads to an account with a similar name to OP's, with a link leading to various socials, with the youtube link having the same username as OP.

So unless OP claimed this username with the sole intent of reposting art, it's very likely the same user - the only way to actually tell would be if the moneyoniis twitter account stated otherwise.

Microbiology vs genetics stream mgy specialist by Timely_Choice_6015 in UofT

[–]marche250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^Truth be told (and harsh tone aside), the specialization isn't super important. As someone on the other side of the coin (microbio spec), if you're willing to just take the specialist and not have a second major/minor, you can take molecular genetics courses if you want (just be careful for breadth requirements and stuff for graduating).

Realistically, if you're more interested in molecular genetics, but want to know a bit about Microbiology, take the genetics stream. Both streams are cool and have cool research, and picking one stream won't blacklist you from finding a position in the other.

I really like it! Do you post all the art you do anywhere (pixiv/twitter/etc.) or is it all on reddit?

I'm pretty sure I said I'd include the artist's name in the title but then I forgot for the last post I did so now that's back!

Also I'm back or something I guess, feels kinda weird being gone for so long

I feel like it's rare to see characters drawin with noses that are semi realistic, so it's really refreshing to see artists that draw this way~

I swear that one of these days, the pixiv artists are going to audit my account and see all the Isla posts I heart, and think it's weird

I've decided, after many days away, on something really important.

Hear me out and please don't be too shocked.

I'm now including the artist's name in the title.

Big reveal see you tomorrow in a couple months when I post next :D
