they sell items at tjmaxx that even God is not aware of
Popping in every few weeks in hopes of finding raw pumpkin seeds, reduced sugar fruit spread, and whole grain ramen noodles like it's a daily loot box. I don't think it was meant to a Dark Pattern, but it has seized me nonetheless.
We need to rewind a bit and get people caught up on marital rape. Possibly rebrand it as "relationship rape." Do some hand under hand technique guidance to connect dots such as "consent is freely given without coercion" and "consent can be revoked at any time" to get people to the truly radical conclusion that woman can and do get raped by men they're sexually and/or romantically attracted to.
And *that's a bad thing.* Can't forget that bit.
I am #actuallyaroace, and I don't think it's more horrifying or tragic for an aro ace woman to be raped than a heterosexual or bisexual woman. In fact, I think it's WORSE when it's someone you're attracted to. Infinity worse when it's someone you're in an actual relationship with.
But nobody- *nobody*- considers it even a slight betrayal, let alone a horrifying one, for a woman to find out her husband/ boyfriend values his orgasm over her consent or wellbeing. "He kept asking for sex after I said I was tired and had a headache" alone should be grounds for an instant divorce/ breakup, but "maintenance sex" is just part of a healthy het marriage, right?
And the 1800s call asking for their gaslights back the instant a married woman describes the most straightforward "I told him the exact words no or stop, and he didn't" rape.

I was scrolling through the Korean wiki of the Natsuyu characters and I came across this in Matoba's profile. Korean wikis contain a lot more discourse and theories between fans in contrast to the English Fandom wikis which only state Canon information hahahahaha. The google translation is a bit wonky but what's your opinion on this?
hmmmmm ok i had to look up the webpage itself and see what chapter they're referencing for that "nuance that the head position is not passed down through lineage" turns out the little [6] citation mark there doesn't actually cite any chapter, but just more explanation about the dangerous nature of the exorcist profession and that spiritual power aren't guaranteed to be inherited from parent to child, etc. which i don't consider to be a valid supporting evidence to what they're saying about matoba clan inheritance system. as for seiji saying "the previous head", since the page doesn't specify what chapter that line is from, and i can't remember off the top of my head where seiji specifically said "the previous head", so i'll talk about instances i remember of seiji talking about other matoba clan heads:
-in a hand extended, seiji said "...or so the current clan head says": he uses the title because that gives weight to the opinion that the exorcism industry is on the decline, since it's the stance of the very person at the top of the industry, and it wouldn't land the same way if he said "my dad/relative says..."
-in miharu arc, "i'm disappointed in the matoba leader of that time": the miharu family died out before the last three pillar ceremony that welcomed lady white claw/shirotsume-no-kimi 40 years ago, and considering matoba's assumption that he will no longer be the clan head by the next ceremony in 30 years time (which yes as we all know seiji is passively suicidal but he's also a stone cold pragmatist and i've always read that line to be informed more by the history of exorcist being a dangerous profession and matoba clan heads being an even more hazardous job and so they tend to have rather short tenures) it would've been a matoba clan head from 2 generations (or more) ago that was in office and therefore not seiji's parent or someone from their generation.
↳if you or anyone reading this knows in what chapter seiji said "the previous head" please let me know in the reply and i'll look into it
afaik (again, off the top of my head), there is so far no concrete evidence to prove or disprove what they're saying here about matoba clan leader's position being a free for all to anyone in the entire clan. BUT, i'm more inclined to believe that while it's not impossible for the position to go to someone not directly related to the main matoba family, the children with direct lineage have precedence over those from other families in the clan. if none of the children of the entire matoba family in the next generation is deemed good enough (most likely in the sense that none of them have strong enough spiritual power + aren't skilled enough), then they might adopt a children from another family within the clan and name them heir.
in a world unbent, while seiji did only say "i'm here on the clan's orders", takuma then specifically criticized "matoba-san" for said order. seiji's phrasing insinuates that the order came from the leader, so takuma's words next would imply that said leader is seiji's parent or at least a relative.
↳ side note, the official translation of the manga said "my family told me to come" and "mr. matoba again", which on the surface supports my arguments, but it must be clarified that in jp seiji says "the clan (ichimon)", and "matoba-san" (which does not denote gender, hence why some ppl headcanon that the previous clan head was seiji's mother instead). just mentioning this for transparency.
chapter 123 also shows that the only children being considered for heir is the 2 matoba siblings. again, could be that the children from other families in the clan are significantly weaker in power, but a significant theme in auction arc is blood & inheritance (esp in the eyes of youkais) so i think the matoba siblings & discussions about them being heir candidates being brought up in this arc means something.

It's just practical to use cds as backup storage when I have a read and write optical disk player and can get 50 unopened for $4 at the thrift store. But pdfs and ebooks on a disk are just strange to me.
It's only logical to put my DVRs on a disk. As soon as I figure out how to fix the subtitles on DeeVeeDee, I can even play them *on a DVD player* as God intended.
But books on a disk? Square soup bowl. Clearly something out of a sci-fi conceived in the early 90s. That can't be real.
It will certainly be entertaining to roll up with my purchased-DRM-free ebooks (thank you Tor et. al) on a cd that I open with an internet browser (thank you Firefox extension developers.)
Not that anyone would be the specific tech literate required to get the joke. As far as the median Gen Z and Boomer knows, that's exactly how the ancient/ newfangled technology was meant to work.
Imagine the alternate reality where men have reclaimed "pig" with booty shorts with "filthy oinker" on the butt.
Okay. Now picture a world in which kale is the feedstock for 10% ethanol in gasoline and the USDA funds research into how to introduce kale into more foods and also a massive kale advertising fund. McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King all have kale burgers. Taco Bell has a five kale taco salad and Pizza Hut and Domino's have kale stuffed crusts.
Got that? So what if blimps didn't go up in metaphorical flames along with the Hindenburg? A few hundred people die in blimp crashes every year (mostly "boring" individual falls, with a few infernos) and the National Blimp Association lobbies congress to prevent restrictions on flammable gas usage.
Wouldn't that be fucked up or what?

Hey, did you know archive.org has a bunch of free 90s shows you can stream?
The problem is finding them, since no one's organized them all in one place with covers and episode info. I'm trying to fix that with my new website.
It's in BETA right now, and all the content was just added today, so I've barely scratched the surface of what's out there.
Submit shows and request here
Watch party with synchronized video and chatrooms
All posts cancelled for the next week, I'm on 90skid.com.

Heatwave so bad I got a preview of what it's like to go on Ozempic:
"GOD I wish I had some humus with bell peppers and baby carrots rn instead of this fucking ravioli and cheese."
What if it's not Sai's hosts being the only ones who can see him, but Sai having gotten his ass sealed for ghostly behavior, and they just happened to be the first people to show up after all his anger is finally purified.
That's why Hikaru shows up so much sooner than Shusaku did- it took Sai 800 or so years to finally get over his own death, but only 150 to get over Shusaku's death.
I don't think Sai would remember any of this: canonically, he makes people sick with his sadness. Presumably, his anger does something similar- probably striking people down with fever and weakness. So very much a bad time for anyone who happens to be around when he's (understandably) angry and sad, but not deadly enough to justify keeping track of him after the immediate issue's dealt with.
As far as Sai knows, he's just minding his ghostly business, and then he's suddenly stuck in a goben. But to the onmyoji, he's this absurdly persistent, minor spirit of illness that's too strong to be exorcised and can only be sealed in goben.
ok so natsume's bday got me in a mood to reread and i was doing just that, but this character in chapter 14 (natsume's and natori's first trip together to an inn) always caught my attention
i never really understood why the person at the inn reception was so detailed but i figured it's because midorikawa always liked drawing women (as she stated multiple times)
BUT THEN i got to matoba's introduction arc and....
...is this the same character?? i mean same hair, same mole, same lipstick, are we supposed to think it's the same person? that's a distinctive character design, right? i'm not crazy for thinking this is the same person, right?
My takeaways from listening to the old fashioned FM radio at work:
We are never getting out of the patriarchy, because wifebeaters would never ever make the top 40 if female empathy existed broadly because it's too rage inducing to be REMOTELY enjoyable to hear some fuckass man sing about what a good lover he'd be when you think the girlfriend he hospitalized is a real person.
The new Just Dance cover was invented by demons in hell specifically to torment me. I will die on the hill that it's employing a Dark Pattern by being virtually identical to the original for the first half then dropping in Mr. Who Fucking Asked For This after the point a song counts as "played" so he can boost his listening numbers of the back of Lady Gaga's popularity.
Heat index of 107 F for the past three days, and it's like everyone lost their goddamn minds. Like, the number of fatal car crashes and homicides PER DAY is insane. There's usually a few of those per MONTH here.
I've seen a (hopefully nonfatal) car wreck almost every day on my 25 minute commute for the past week. I used to see MAYBE one a month.
Ngl, staying home and eating Aldi's brand sobet sounds like a way safer option for Independence 250. Especially since [police incident redacted due to prominence.]
