Interesting to see that a suite of policies supporting child birth CAN actually have dramatic results by including not just cash support and parental leave, but organizational/cultural trust and automatically hiring replacement staff too. biz.chosun.com/en/en-it/202...

The main pathways to increasing the intention to have children differed by life cycle. For single employees, improved work immersion through non-cash policies had the greatest effect; for married employees without children, trust in organizational culture; and for married employees with children, support for work-life balance.

Hmmm... Beyond Good and Evil 2 looks different on the Switch 2

Pull a PS Vita TV and release a version that is TV only and requires you to bring your own memory card for storage?

I've been playing too much Pokopia. I just saw these signs in the real world and thought "That's exactly what I need one more of for that new habitat I wanted to make".

Not sure if you've already actioned this, but there's an imposter account on bluesky masquerading as you: bsky.app/profile/priv...

Yow.

A screenshot of the article linked in the original post, with the following text highlighted:

"The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine classified youth in these high-achieving schools as an “at-risk group,” alongside children living in poverty, in foster care, or with incarcerated parents.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation reached a similar conclusion, identifying “excessive pressure to excel” as one of the top environmental threats to adolescent wellness, right next to poverty and trauma."

Even in happier times Duolingo has delivered relevance.

And it's so cool that #ChillinByTheFire supports GameShare online or local, Switch 2 or with original Switches! I can't wait to play this with my brother and nephew soon one evening since they can play with me just off my single copy!

Infographic illustrating that the Switch 2 game Chillin' by the Fire can use the GameShare feature in local multiplayer to allow four people, using either Switch 2s or Switch 1s, to play with just one purchased copy of the game.

Kairon@caired· Aug 2

Okay, so Chillin' by the Fire is actually... fire! It's simple, cozy, and exactly what I needed after a long day of executive dysfunction. Fhe Nintendo Direct really undersold this game's appeal. #NintendoSwitch2 #ChillinByTheFire

Being grown up is a curse. I want to throw one of these on and run around the park SO BAD.

Crossed off my bucket list visiting the fossil rich Alberta badlands (Dinosaur Provincial Park), and spotting fossil claws, vertebrae, and trees! Next up the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology!

#duolingo #bodyhorror

A screenshot of a duolingo lesson completion page, with the text "Are you even human?" below an illustration of the official Duulingo green owl mascot sitting down with a shocked expression and beak comically agape, but grotesquely the bird's brain has lifted/exploded out of its head and also has the same expression anthropomorphized with shocked eyes and its own smaller beak agape.

What fresh level of #duolingo hell is this?

A screenshot of the animated owl mascot of the DuoLingo app from after a level is cleared, but instead of an owl it's a green unicorn horse body with toeless orange nubs for feet, a pink horse tail, a pink unicorn horn with a rainbow above it, and the owl'a head grafted onto the body. The transmogrified mascot has turned it's head to the viewer with a scrunched face which contextually should be an expression of approval, but the overall vibe of the chimera may strike the viewer as unnatural and unsettling.

Omg YES! I just KNEW BlueSky had something like this, it's exactly what I needed! (Though I am often the greatest sinner when it comes to reposting more than making original posts 😅) bsky.app/profile/did:...

I keep a big 'ol sorted Google Sheets document 😁 My cousins have seen me pull it out! Only problem now is navigating the interface and limited selection of the Karaoke joints we go to...

Had to prove to myself I could still get 1st place if I put in the work! This is actually the second time I topped the Diamond league, but the first time I took advantage of new mechanics after Duolingo made a big change to the scoring and before everyone figured out the new meta.

Duolingo tallying up the actual words I've "learned" is a good feeling. For the life of me I can't recall what those 1079 words are, but it's a nice simple metric to enjoy going up.

Duolingo-generated graphic "2023 year in review" saying I'm a top 8% Japanese learner in the app with 6154 earned experience points, 1340 minutes spent, 1079 words learned, and 603 daya as my longest streak.
