Jod not figuring out mind reading with his millennia upon millennia of time necromancing across time and space is kinda disappointing. Like sir you are doing flesh magic and necromancy. What's a little mind reading???

The thing is, we really only see him interact with Lyctors, or people inhabiting Lyctoral bodies. And even then, we see that he has some level of, if not mind control, at least rendering people suggestible through eye contact.

But what about with people who lack Lyctoral privacy? Harrow can feel the heartbeat of everyone on the Erebos even as a somewhat deficient Lyctor. I would assume that John can sense even more. He's an ancient and horrifying eldritch entity, a combination of a man and a planet - we have no idea what the full scope of his powers are.

With a regular human, even if he can't read minds, he can definitely sense heart rate, feel spikes of cortisol or dopamine, all the little changes a body makes in response to thought and emotion. He may not know exactly what someone is thinking, but he can probably make a damn good guess.

Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:

  • Not all Men are evil
  • Everyone has the capacity for evil
  • Transgender Men are men
  • Transgender Women are women
  • Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)
  • Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement
  • Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators
  • Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

"dont smoke around your pets" okay well i dont even smoke im asthmatic. my dog smokes bc she needs to fucking chill sometimes and Yeah i light them for her Obviously bc she cant use a lighter. i dont get anyrhing out of this arrangment and i resent the implication. in fact shes giving ME secondhand smoke. so my question is why are you so hateful and jugemental and acting like an asshole to me making presumptions and shit about my life.

Trump is all like "Australians sell their beef to us, but they won't buy any of ours 😡"

Which.... yeah? Of course???? Why would we import external beef from so far away when we produce more than enough to meet our own needs??

Not to mention that USA still has both mad cow disease and foot and mouth disease, but Australia doesn't -- AND America has increasingly lax commercial-level health and safety standards, meaning the risk of pathogens like MCD/F&M spreading through the US are significantly increased, and we don't have either here in Australia, so of course we don't want to import beef from a country that could conceivably spread the diseases to us???

But even aside from that. There are not that many Australians. But there are a lot of Americans. AND Australians eat an average of 23.4 kilos of beef per year but we produce 2.2 million tonnes. We produce WAY more beef than our population eats. So of course we don't import much????? And of COURSE it's not from America, which is both significantly further away than our current importers (primarily New Zealand and Japan), AND which has significantly lower health and safety regulations than we do????

Meanwhile, Americans average aprox 37 kilos of beef per person per year, but produces around 12.4 million tonnes. USAs population is 12 times larger than ours but only produces 5 times more beef than we do, AND consumes more per capita than we do. Of course USA imports large quantities of beef. Because their domestic production doesn't meet their domestic demand. Meanwhile Australia's production vastly outweighs our domestic demand, so of course we don't import American beef?????

Thats...... that's how imports and exports are supposed to work???? You export excess of what you have to someone who has less of it, and in turn, they export to you the produce/products that YOU don't have. This is fucking basic??????????

"Waahhh, Australia won't import American beef 😭😡" yeah???? Of course we don't????????

PLUS!!!!! Overall, Australia imports 34 billion dollars worth of stuff from America per year. Meanwhile America only imports $16 billion from us.

Putting tariffs on a country that imports more from you than they export to you is uhhhhhhhhh, FUCKIN' STUPID. If america tariff everything we send to them it's on all of $16b worth of stuff. If we tariff everything of theirs then we'll be slapping taxes on more than double what they can tax us.

Trump is such a fucking moron.

Does this man not understand that the point of trade is to swap what you have an excess of for what you don't have enough of

Why would we export masses and masses of beef only to import large amounts of inferior quality beef from the same people we just sold beef to

Does he think the USA is exporting large quantities of oil to Saudi Arabia?

why aren't Australians clamouring to receive such exotic US beef flavours as

The flip side of “cleanse diets don’t do anything” is that if you tried a cleanse diet and you did experience a notable reduction in fatigue, joint pain, and general blarginess, you need to talk to an allergy specialist, because there’s nearly a 100% chance that means you have an undiagnosed allergy to some component of your customary diet.

This is an excellent point and I’d imagine there’s a lot of quack diets that continue circulating and getting press based on this exact principle.

Absolutely – a great many diets of the “stop eating everything except these three foods” variety are 100% trading on the fact that they’re practically guaranteed to generate some positive testimonials by virtue of coincidentally cutting somebody’s undiagnosed food allergy out of their diet.

matt just fired half the remaining tumblr support staff lmao

from my sources adjacent to tumblr--from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector--im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i'm hearing there are about 25 people left.
