  • Neil Gaiman Denies Sexual Assault Allegations Made by Two Women

    Jump

  • Sleeping with the nanny less than half your age isn't a great start for a discussion of power dynamics in a sexual relationship.

    I'm not going to assume anything either way, bo the women deserve to be heard, at the very least.

  • [Serious] What's your hot take?

    Jump

  • The grinder for pepper corns. It gives you more flavor than ground pepper.

  • [Serious] What's your hot take?

    Jump

  • It's a hot take! Wouldn't be good if it weren't inflammatory.

  • Pepper Mills are overrated.

  • So the fine edge of the blade can warp as you use it. The honing rod helps straighten that back out to improve cutting. The whetstone actually removes bits of steel in order to create a new edge. Honing should be done regularly, but using a whetstone to sharpen the blade is periodic.

    Jump

  • A honing rod and whetstone fulfill different functions. You should ideally be using both for knife maintenance.

  • Hades II - Early Access Patch 3 Notes

    Jump

  • Anyone have thoughts on this? I've only played a little, so most of this doesn't mean too much to me yet.

  • WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returns to Australia a free man after US legal battle ends

    Jump

  • Source on the executions? I found that informants were named and when warned that this could result in their deaths Assange basically said, "lol, snitches get stitches."

    That said, I couldn't find anything about the informants actually being executed.

  • All Hands Shorten Sail - Frank Brangwyn (1889) 🇬🇧

    Jump

  • Still OSHA, I believe. I did a quick google and they seem to have rules for fishing boats.

  • OSHA does not approve.

    Beautiful art, however.

  • Juneteenth Explained To White People - Josh Johnson

    Jump

  • It’s not like the day was chosen randomly. June 19th is when the emancipation proclamation was read in Texas, the last state to hear it.

  • Juneteenth Explained To White People - Josh Johnson

    Jump

  • It's literally just a portmanteau of June Nineteenth.

    Portmanteaus are super common and lots of fun. I have no idea why you'd take issue with this particular one.

  • Why in 2024 do people still believe in religion? (serious)

    Jump

  • Serious answer:

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I believe in a religion because I've found it to be personally beneficial.

    I was a pastor for many years and saw much of the best and worst religion had to offer. I haven't stepped foot inside a church since COVID broke out and don't know that I ever will again.

    My personal beliefs are still a significant part of my life, but I understand why someone would ask the question that spawned this discussion.

  • Trump’s Second Term: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

    Jump

  • And a Supreme Court eager to throw its political weight around.

  • For those who lurk on Reddit - my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is an iPhone app now

    Jump

  • I wasn’t double tapping intentionally! That’s the ticket. I was tapping around looking for a collapse trigger and must have occasionally tapped quickly enough to earn a double tap.

    Very cool and thanks for making this.

  • For those who lurk on Reddit - my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is an iPhone app now

    Jump

  • Very neat. I haven’t used Reddit in a year, but I wanted to check out your app out of curiosity. I think I feel much healthier without it being a regular part of my life, but this is an interesting window I could glance through from time to time.

    The comment collapse feature seems to work very inconsistently. Where should you be tapping or how in order to collapse a comment thread?

  • Christ in The House of Martha and Mary - Johannes Vermeer (1654-6) 🇳🇱

    Jump

  • Beautiful art for a fascinating moment in the Bible. For those who'd like to know more, I wrote a small blurb:

    So this is one of those oft-misunderstood moments in the Bible. Mary is sitting at the feet of Jesus while Martha works to host everyone. Martha gets all huffy at Mary for not helping, but Jesus protects Mary.

    What's interesting is there's subtext here that isn't about housework or hosting.

    Sitting at the feet of a rabbi is where one learned to become a rabbi. Paul himself says he learned at the feet of Gamaliel, a famous rabbi of the day.

    Martha was upset that Mary was presuming to learn like a rabbi. She likely thought Jesus was just being nice about it, so offered a pretext for him to dismiss her. Jesus shut that down hard. Women are welcome to learn to become teachers in the kingdom he's building.

    -Luke 10:38-42, Acts 22:3 (nrsv)

  • This is what childhood dementia does

    Jump

  • No idea about this particular girl, but there's plenty of authentic disorders that can cause childhood dementia:

    • Batten Disease (Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses, NCL)
    • Sanfilippo Syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III, MPS III)
    • Niemann-Pick Disease Type C, GM1 and GM2 Gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff Disease)
    • Leukodystrophies (such as Metachromatic Leukodystrophy and Krabbe Disease)
    • Mitochondrial Disorders (such as Leigh syndrome)
    • Rett Syndrome

  • This is what childhood dementia does

    Jump

  • This genuinely felt like a weird scam to me. I had no idea it existed, but apparently there's a whole host of childhood conditions that can cause childhood dementia.

    That's very upsetting.
