@npub1hpc…hjn3 Yes. And actually the magic plays a very minor role. In these books it consists only of giving those who have "the Mandate of Heaven" the ability to call forth supernatural light on command and also to see ghosts. https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldcivilization/chapter/the-mandate-of-heaven/

My father, finally recovering from long COVID after being infected this past January, slipped while getting on his e-bike and has torn a tendon. It sucks. I worry about him.

Apropos of nothing in particular:
The word "sexualize" means to apply a sexual lens to a person who didn't want to be treated or perceived in a sexual way
The word "objectify" means to treat a person as an object
It is impossible for a person to "sexualize herself" or to "objectify herself"
Therefore you can safely, immediately dismiss anyone who's talking about this or that woman (it's almost always a woman) "sexualizing herself" or "objectifying herself"

excuse my ignorance, Pakistanis... did Imran Khan actually do something wrong, or is he getting Lula'd?

"Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity"
That's a fine rule for interpersonal relationships. It's better to offer to teach your spouse or kid or coworker how to do the thing than it is to berate them for not knowing how to do it.
It's a SHITTY FUCKING RULE to follow when it comes to strangers. Especially politicians, but even just ordinary regular people strangers. Follow that rule when picking up the telephone, for example, and you'll quickly find yourself getting scammed. Following that rule when interpreting the actions of CEOs and politicians? You're giving them endless passes for bad behavior. Stop it! Malicious people exist! Especially among the ranks of the powerful!

Very amusing to see capitalism apologists on the Fediverse
I mean, it's more understandable on Xitter or Macebook
But here? The place that's sustained by twine, chewing gum, patreon, and the hopes and dreams of two dozen catgirls? The place that's been going strong without a profit motive for half a decade now?
#Capitalism fucked your mind.

@npub1krc…68qh I'm incapable of pronouncing "touché" as anything but "too-shay" so this joke escaped me for 3 days running
