it's actually so important to me that in the memory loss extras xie lian finds out he doesn't have spiritual power anymore (because he's been having sex). it means

he feels comfortable relying on hua cheng

he's able to be 'selfish', and choose what he wants rather than what other people think is correct

he's free from the responsibility of being the most powerful martial god in heaven

he's getting thoroughly dicked down

Hey just wanted to let u know I'm all for chiropractic care it does wonders, but having a neck adjustment at the chiropractor can and in rare cases does cause stroke! Neck 'trauma' is one of the leading causes of stroke in people under 50. Sorry if this bothers you, but I just wanted to say something so you can be informed and stay safe in the future!

once again and I will continue to say it, I am not asking anyone's opinion on chiro unless they are literally me and they have my type of chronic pain, OR unless they are willing to fully pay for my breast reduction, thus reducing my need for chronic pain management

"It'd be super interesting to hear these counterarguments 👀."

@goopi-e Well let's see… where should I start? The mass assumption that Ganondorf just sort of left his kingdom for dead and stayed holed up in Hyrule Castle for seven entire years, (lolwut???) no longer caring about his fellow gerudos or even letting them know what the hell was going on?

Or something else? Maybe something a little dicier? Like the existence of gibdos? Or the fact he didn't save Nabooru after his moms decided her punishment? ... That last one might be a little self explanatory, though, if you understand his mindset.

Ganondorf is a man with a very strong sense of justice and a very skewed sense of morality. I think it's actually because he cared that he'd ever punish or let his people be punished like she was. Twinrova were his mothers too, so, it's likely he trusted their judgement more than anyone else's. A lower ranking pair of gerudo might not have gotten away with dealing justice in his name like that.

But I digress. I know I have to be missing something. I'm just very tired today and have a lot on my mind. Do feel free to let me know, though, if any of that interests you or if there's another thing I forgot to address that you want me to go into.

The Matrix Resurrections: Featurettes

[lovemayble]

i might get nasty responses to this, but i honestly don't care because i've wanted to say this for a while and i need to get it off my chest. every single time a dream member (or any nct member in general) makes a remark about someone's body people are always so dissapointed/upset/offended by what they said. and while it's obviously not a nice thing to do and it's shitty that they said it in the first place i gotta be honest. the thing is, these are all grown ass men who DO know better, they just don't care. like i really hate to break it to you but no amount of "educating him" and "holding him accountable" is gonna make this stop. they grew up and live in a country/society where making comments like this is considered the norm (whether people like that or not), not to mention on top of that they all work in an industry that re-enforces this behaviour even more and have been subjected to that industry since they were young kids.

i can guarantee you if you wanna waste time trying to tell haechan (or any of them) on a fancall or anywhere online why this is upsetting to you he is not gonna care. he might pretend to if he's being recorded, but i can assure you these are rich ass celebrities who do not give a single fuck about what people on twitter dot com complain about. as long as you buy their albums and pay their bills they're gonna be fine. they can tell you as many times as possible that their fans are their friends and super important to them and etc, but reality is, they don't know any of you and most likely have no desire of ever getting to know any of you. and besides that, we all know that making comments like this is a repeated behaviour, which means we can expect it to happen again.

and yet EVERY SINGLE TIME people act like it's the first time a comment like this was made and their mental health is in shambles in a second because of it. and to be completely honest at this point i don't fucking know what to tell you other than: if it messes with your mental health to this extent every single time it happens then how about you stop following that person, stop stanning them and stop involving yourself in what they say or do because all it does is make you feel like shit. and why the fuck would you willingly put yourself through that every couple of months?????

i genuinely do not understand and it's pissing me off to no end at this point. you either learn to live with this happening every now and again, because as i said you cannot control what these GROWN ASS MEN think or say or you do yourself and your mental health a favour and stop being their fan. like genuinely. i'm so so fucking tired of people acting like this every single time, like it's not a REPEATED PATTERN OF BEHAVIOUR that's been exhibited multiple times in the past and will most likely happen multiple times in the future. you wanting to police them as a nobody in the internet behind a stan account isn't gonna change that.

okay i'm done, fucking tired of this. y'all argue about this every few months and at some point i really need y'all to realize that there's NO FUCKING POINT like jesus fucking christ

LGBTQ+ community will take some of the most wild and out of left field shit and pretend it's actually a problem. Who cares if it doesn't make sense dude. Is it a pedophile? A rapist? No?? Actively harming you or other people directly? Then who cares!!! Stay in your fucking lane!!!!!

okay so i put the cash i have left in japan in front of me and stared at it and i think i will be okay so long as sending my suitcases does not cost MORE than ¥12,000. i have to put ¥10,000 back in my bank account for fucking docomo, i need another ¥10,000 to pay for trains to the goddamn airport because transportation in japan is not anywhere near as cheap as the internet would lead you to believe, then the ¥12,000 for having the suitcases taken to my airbnb and i'll have ¥5,000 left to. eat at all until i leave the country. and when i check my second bag i will simply have to use my american debit card bc thats All i have here 👍

enjoying the fantasy novel i picked up secondhand for ten dollar but at the same time i can’t decide if it’s banger or mid. v solid worldbuilding that draws from pre-islamic middle eastern folklore (as well as other stuff for sure but that’s the one i immediately picked up on) you can tell the author has done their research and is passionate as fuck abt it. but☝️the characters are comparatively a bit sauceless. i generally dislike it when non-human characters feel fundamentally indistinct from the humans and that’s lowkey the case here. your djinn do not feel djinn enough im sorry

The Best News of Last Week

1. ‘We are just getting started’: the plastic-eating bacteria that could change the world

In 2016, Japanese scientists Oda and Hiraga published their discovery of Ideonella sakaiensis, a bacterium capable of breaking down PET plastic into basic nutrients. This finding marked a shift in microbiology's perception, recognizing the potential of microbes to solve pressing environmental issues.

France's Carbios has successfully applied bacterial enzyme technology to recycle PET plastic waste into new plastic products, aligning with the French government's goal of fully recycling plastic packaging by 2025.

2. HIV cases in Amsterdam drop to almost zero after PrEP scheme

According to Dutch AIDS Fund, there were only nine new cases of the virus in Amsterdam in 2022, down from 66 people diagnosed in 2021. The organisation claimed that 128 people were diagnosed with HIV in Amsterdam in 2019, and since 2010, the number of new infections in the Dutch capital has fallen by 95 per cent.

3. Cheap and drinkable water from desalination is finally a reality

In a groundbreaking endeavor, engineers from MIT and China have designed a passive solar desalination system aimed at converting seawater into drinkable water.

The concept, articulated in a study published in the journal Joule, harnesses the dual powers of the sun and the inherent properties of seawater, emulating the ocean’s “thermohaline” circulation on a smaller scale, to evaporate water and leave salt behind.

4. World’s 1st drug to regrow teeth enters clinical trials

The ability to regrow your own teeth could be just around the corner. A team of scientists, led by a Japanese pharmaceutical startup, are getting set to start human trials on a new drug that has successfully grown new teeth in animal test subjects.

Toregem Biopharma is slated to begin clinical trials in July of next year after it succeeded growing new teeth in mice five years ago, the Japan Times reports.

5. After Decades of Pressure, US Drugmaker J&J Gives Up Patent on Life-Saving TB Drug

In what can be termed a huge development for drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) patients across large parts of the world, bedaquiline maker Johnson and Johnson said on September 30 (Saturday) that it would drop its patent over the drug in 134 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

7. ‘Staggering’ green growth gives hope for 1.5C, says global energy chief

The prospects of the world staying within the 1.5C limit on global heating have brightened owing to the “staggering” growth of renewable energy and green investment in the past two years, the chief of the world’s energy watchdog has said.

Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency, and the world’s foremost energy economist, said much more needed to be done but that the rapid uptake of solar power and electric vehicles were encouraging.
