Bruce is at a gala, okay, and he’s talking to a woman.

Random woman: “And we found out that we’re having another child!”

Bruce: *absolutely cackling inside, because this is about to be the funniest thing he’s done in weeks*

Brucie: “That’s wonderful! Where are they? Can I meet them? How old are they?”

Now Brucie is standing there, scanning the room for children with a huge grin on his face, while all of the random rich people stand around like ‘who’s going to explain to the adorable, well-meaning idiot that most people know they’re going to have children a few months before the children are born.’

And worse, who’s going to have to break the news to him that he can’t meet the kid today?

Because this man… this man has acquired all of his children with zero premeditation. Yes, he does have a bio kid, but that one showed up on his doorstep as a preteen. He did even less acquiring with that one than with the others.

Bruce has a blast acting out his disappointment, and has to turn some so that he can no longer see Tim and Cass leaning against each other and laughing, because otherwise he’s going to start laughing.

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

Exploring Aging Challenges and Their Effective Solutions

As the passage of time continues, aging emerges as a natural and inevitable process impacting everyone. It often ushers in various physical transformations, particularly in the skin, giving rise to prevalent age-related concerns like wrinkles, sagging skin, facial volume loss, and uneven skin texture. Fortunately, there exist advanced treatments capable of addressing these concerns effectively. Within this comprehensive guide, we will delve into these solutions, illuminating their mechanisms and results. To discover personalized and trustworthy anti-aging options, consider Elation Hair and Skin Clinic in Kolkata.

Dermal Fillers:

Overview: Dermal fillers fall within the category of injectable substances that rejuvenate the skin by restoring volume, smoothing wrinkles, and enhancing facial contours. They prove highly effective in managing common signs of aging, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and sunken cheeks.

Treatment: In a dermal filler procedure, a skilled dermatologist or licensed practitioner expertly administers a selected filler substance (such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid) into specific facial areas. This injection process swiftly adds volume to the skin, resulting in a plumper appearance and a significant reduction in the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines.

Results: Dermal fillers yield swift results with minimal downtime. The duration of these results varies based on the type of filler used, typically ranging from several months to well over a year.

Radio Frequency Treatments (RF):

Overview: RF treatments harness radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose or sagging skin. They are non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures, making them a favored choice for those seeking skin rejuvenation.

Treatment: A specialized device is employed to deliver controlled RF energy to the targeted area, gently warming the deeper layers of the skin without affecting the surface. This controlled heat stimulates collagen production and induces skin tightening, resulting in gradual and progressive improvements over time. For the best treatment, you can visit the best hair and skin clinic.

Results: RF treatments provide results that become increasingly prominent over time. Multiple sessions may be required to attain optimal results, with minimal to no downtime. The effects of RF treatments can endure for up to a year or more.

Collagen Induction Treatment (Microneedling):

Overview: Collagen induction treatment, frequently performed using microneedling devices, entails creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This process enhances skin texture and reduces fine lines and scars.

Treatment: A trained practitioner uses a pen-like device equipped with fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries activate the body's natural healing response, leading to gradual but significant improvements in skin quality over time.

Results: Collagen induction treatment mandates multiple sessions, and the results become more pronounced as the skin heals. It has the potential to enhance skin texture, diminish the appearance of wrinkles, and significantly improve skin firmness.

Thread Lift:

Overview: A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to elevate and firm sagging skin, delivering immediate results while continuing to enhance over time.

Treatment: Dissolvable threads are delicately inserted below the skin's surface using a fine needle in a thread lift procedure. These threads feature tiny barbs or cones that anchor to the tissue, enabling the practitioner to gently lift and reposition the skin. Moreover, the threads stimulate collagen production, contributing to long-term skin rejuvenation.

Results: Thread lift outcomes are instantly noticeable and continue to improve as collagen production progresses. The longevity of these effects can extend up to two years, contingent on the type of threads used and individual factors.

It is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as those found at Elation Hair and Skin Clinic, or a dermatologist before pursuing any anti-aging treatment. This step ensures that the chosen approach aligns with your unique concerns and skin type. Additionally, it's worth noting that individual results may vary, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine can prolong the benefits of these treatments. With the right guidance and expertise, graceful aging is attainable.

Chilchuck is such a fascinating character, because every time you learn something new about him, it’s like you’re being punched in the gut. Like, the first time you see him, you’re all “Aww, look at this lil’ guy. Isn’t he cute? Aw, he hates being treated like a kid. He’s probably already in his late teens or early twenties or something. One of those Older Than They Look type characters right?”

And then you find out that he’s almost thirty. He’s older than Laios. And you’re like, okaaaaay, that’s a little older than I expected, but that definitely explains why he hates being treated like a kid so much.

And then much, much later you find out that he has a wife and kids. And you’re just sitting there like, huh, okay. Okaaaaay. Well, this really, really, really explains why he doesn’t like being treated like a kid. He’s a dad. He’s experienced the ups and downs of parenthood. He’s the only character in the group that’s canonically had sex. Okay. Yeah. Wowza.

And then shortly after you find out that he’s his race’s equivalent of a middle-aged man, and it’s like, okaaaaay. That recontextualizes a lot of things. He’s a middle-aged man trapped in a twelve-year-old’s body. Okay. Yeah. Wowee. Gee willickers.

And you think that’s it. You think that nothing else could top that. And then the bicorn chapter comes rolling in with a steel chair and you find out that his wife left him and all three (count that, three) of his daughters are fully grown adults. And as you’re reeling back from all of this new information, they deliver one last final slap to your face.

Chilchuck was a teen parent.

But what makes this all so funny, so fascinating, is that Chilchuck arguably has the most normal backstory out of anyone in the group. And if he was literally any other race, tallman, elf, dwarf, whatever, this information would still be surprising, sure, but it wouldn’t hit the same way it does when he’s a half-foot. Ryoko Kui really said, You know what would be funny? If I made the party’s token grumpy middle-aged man, father of three, look like this:

And she's right. It's very funny.

I must confess that reluctance to use art supplies is still a thing I have trouble with sometimes. I have some books I made in bookbinding class in college that are still empty after 8 years, and I can't remember how long it's been since I've touched any of my nice watercolour paper.

But I'm trying to be better at putting scribbly crap in my new pretty teal 5 dollar sketchbook, and am succeeding so far! I've just filled a page with scratchy awful dandelions and I'm not going to show them to you!

I’m sorry, but the Netflix showrunner referring to Kataang as an “issue to tackle” in the future is some of the funniest shit I’ve ever read/heard.

ill never be over the fact that inquisition doesnt have any sort of prologue. in origins you get your warden’s origin plus ostagar to establish your character before the main story begins. in dragon age 2 you have the fight outside of lothering and choosing to work for the mercenaries or the smugglers in kirkwall. and then inquisition just drops you in and its like if origins just started with waking up in flemeth’s hut and the only way you learn about the deaths of cailan, duncan, the wardens, and loghain’s betrayal is through other characters. i would have loved if there was even a brief bit at the beginning where you get to actually attend the conclave, establish your character outside of the world ending stakes, and have the chance to meet some of the people whose deaths you’re about to be blamed for.

very interested in if we’ll get to see any fun little interactions involving mr. solas “i’ve taken precautions to minimize the damage” fen’harel and mr. lucanis “i deliberately stabbed the fuck out of an elven artifact in the hopes that it would weaken the veil and allow for a localized demon riot” dellamorte. like. solas tells rook about these little orbs that help strengthen the veil, rook passes that information along to their crew, and lucanis is like oh yeah i know about those. fucking obliterated one once. and solas has an aneurysm.

Another de-aged Danny au, but he's with Dan & Ellie & Jazz as well.

Jason has like just arrived back to Gotham, caused chaos in the underbelly due to well, 8 heads in a duffle bag, and is just starting his takeover of Crime Alley. It's going good, great even! And then he busts some sort of gang or smuggling ring run by people in white suits and there's... holy shit why do these four toddlers have Lazarus eyes?!

Is that a lab?! And Lazarus waters?! Jason might be a bit mad but he's not an asshole, he's not going to just leave these kids here to the streets. He can't just take them to the Batclan either, and as much as he begrudgingly trusts Talia, he sure as fuck doesn't trust Ras. Who knows what he'd do to four... what are they, pit-kids?

Now he's juggling his whole revenge-thing, running a criminal empire, taking over Gotham's underbelly, and being a single dad. At least the goonion seems to be down for helping, seeing as he's making Crime Alley safer...? .... Fuck he needs some proper sleep

Exploring Photoaging: Its Origins and Therapeutic Approaches

Understanding Photoaging:

Photoaging results from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, whether from the sun or artificial sources, leading to accelerated skin aging. Unlike chronological aging, which occurs naturally over time, photoaging hastens the development of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and a reduction in skin elasticity and firmness. It also elevates the risk of skin cancer and other dermatological issues. For expert guidance on skin concerns, consult the best dermatologist in Kolkata.

The primary instigator of photoaging is UV light, which inflicts damage on the DNA within skin cells. This damage leads to cell degradation and diminished production of collagen and elastin, two critical proteins for skin suppleness and firmness. The detrimental effects of UV exposure accumulate over time.

How to Protect Against Photoaging:

Although aging is an inevitable process, proactive measures can be taken to mitigate the impact of photoaging:

Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen or wear protective clothing to shield your skin from UV light, the most reliable strategy for preventing photoaging.

Avoid extended sun exposure, especially during peak UV intensity hours, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Monitor the UV index and avoid outdoor exposure when it registers as high.

Refrain from engaging in tanning practices.

Treatment Options for Photoaging:

If you're already experiencing the effects of photoaging, various treatment options are available to help minimize its impact. These treatments address concerns such as fine lines, age spots, collagen and elastin production, and protection against free radical damage. Here are some of the available approaches:

Topical Treatments: Topical treatments encompass retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), and antioxidants. Retinoids, derived from vitamin A, are highly effective in stimulating collagen and elastin production and improving skin texture and tone. AHAs are chemical exfoliants that remove the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing smoother and brighter skin. Antioxidants like vitamins C and E safeguard the skin from free radical damage, making them an essential part of any anti-aging skincare regimen. For the most effective treatment, seek guidance from the best dermatologist in Kolkata.

Non-Invasive Procedures: Non-invasive procedures include chemical peels, microneedling, microdermabrasion, as well as laser and light therapies. These treatments aim to remove the damaged top layer of skin, stimulate cell turnover, and unveil smoother, clearer skin underneath.

Laser and Light Therapies: Laser and light therapies, such as pulse dye laser therapy (PDL) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), are employed to enhance collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and age spots.

Dr. Soumya Kanti Datta, an accomplished dermatologist, empathizes with the frustration and self-consciousness that often accompany premature aging. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to prevent further damage and address existing concerns related to photoaging.
