@nprofile…rjm9 -- usually no real difference between the two, except one is usually privately owned and the other run by the government, and almost always staff by high-turnover, low-wage workers.
Playing in the dirt with other children, having stories read to them, and having other highly-involved, caring adults occasionally watch kids for awhile when needed, those things have been accomplished moms coordinating with each other for free for ages. 🤷‍♀️

@nprofile…ey29 — as I slowly, awkwardly develop an Orthodox Christian phronema (worldview/mindset), I’m reevaluating my political beliefs. Was raised conservative Mormon, rebelled into post-9/11 progressivism, fled woke ideology, was drawn to voluntaryism, and then “culture is upstream of politics” played a part in planting myself in the Orthodox church. Now I’m re-exploring ideas like autocephaly and monarchy, and would like to learn more about localism.

@nprofile…cz7d — I learned to dowse from an old graveyard keeper, who used it to find old graves, as well as the sex of the deceased!
One of the strangest experiences I’ve had was walking side-by-side with 3 women, using our dowsing rods, walking across dozens of graves, looking away from the headstones, and having our rods move in synch, showing grave edges and male or female, confirmed by a person walking behind us and only looking at the name after we said our result. We got them all correct! 🤯

@nprofile…kwcf — estimates are that 30-40% of people in our rural county in the Missouri Ozarks have AGS.
Last weekend I was in a medium-sized town an hour west of KC and asked a small group of new acquaintances if AGS was very prevalent in their area. Two of the four people said an immediate family member had recently been diagnosed.
About 5-10% of us with AGS are airborne reactive. Imagine if just 5% of a large portion of the US population was deadly allergic to the smell of all mammal foods…

I’m also guessing that if (when?) the AI bubble bursts, some enthusiasts will go on emphatically saying, “Yeah, what happened was terrible, but *real* AI just hasn’t been tried yet…”

Weird question! Does anyone happen to know of a decently tasty caviar that I can order online?
(I need to receive it by Friday. We have Amazon Prime but I'm open to ordering from wherever.)
For Lazarus Saturday coming up, caviar is the one non-fasting food that's allowed (and the only time of the year that it's specifically mentioned on the Orthodox calendar). Some of our friends in the parish are getting baptized that day and it would be a fun gift to give them. :)

Crazy symbolism!
"Kali...black skin, long tangled hair, red eyes and a long lolling tongue. She is naked barring a grim set of ornamentation: "a necklace of skulls or freshly decapitated heads, a skirt of severed arms and jewelry made from the corpses of infants."
"Kali is often shown standing with her right foot on Shiva's chest. ...Kali was...about to destroy the entire universe. Shiva...laying down under her foot to pacify and calm her." (wiki)

This documentary is extremely compelling. Especially the testimonies of former Air Force higher-ups. Anyone know of a legit debunking of this film?
It has 24M views on YT and not been taken down as "misinformation". Is it all getting too obvious to bother denying anymore? Or maybe it's the next psyop we're being encouraged to believe? Or maybe it is true and it’s also being twisted into useful fear-mongering… ?? 🧐

💯
When parents abandon their children to be raised and educated by others -- whether that be at daycare, at school, or on a device -- the parents' bond with and influence over their children drastically decline. Their children then bond with and are overly-influenced by whatever fills that gap, whether that be random authority figures, peers, or technology.

@nprofile…j83d -- when training a dog to recall ("Come!"), it's often suggested that many dogs need a moment to think about what has been said and then decide how to respond, especially in early training before the desired behavior becomes more consistent/ingrained, and especially with the more independent-minded breeds. I see it bigtime in our essentially free-range livestock guardian dogs.
This is very interesting information to factor into that equation... 🧐

One odd thing is that as I'm scrolling through a page, the lines of text have obvious white "tracers" below them.
The pics show other things that aren't looking right:
- Guidelines in InDesign are usually easy to see; now they're extremely thin. Weirdly, after I snipped this screenshot and was resizing the snipping window on my screen, the lines briefly look normal/thicker while I'm resizing the window.
- All text is too thin; easily noticed in the top, left corner of a lowercase "e".

Grrr. Is there an easy, free, safe way around this? Or do I have to jump through Microsoft's hoops? Pretty sure I don't have this Windows Hello thing.
I just wanna be able to look at and access the photos and videos I've backed up off my iPhone, like I used to be able to before I got this new computer. :P

@nprofile…wf68 — very cool!
Was it the flavor or texture she didn’t like?
To improve flavor, might be worth fiddling with things like upping the salt, and maybe adding pepper, stevia and maybe ACV or a touch of lemon juice, it the moisture would work. Maybe a lemon pepper?

@nprofile…a6vy — bad water maybe? Maybe try bottled water for a bit?
Or some other communal source of bacteria?

@nprofile…sf0l — it helped me when an experienced trainer reminded me that it takes about a year for a new pet to fully integrate into the household. And I heard from someone here on NAS that it takes at least three months before a rescue begins to relax enough that you see their true personality.
Keeping those longer timelines in mind sure helped me manage my expectations with our newest livestock guardian dog.
Wishing you good fortune and God’s speed as your dogs learn to coexist. :D

@nprofile…lsen -- I watched Danny Ange (in some of those clips) play all four years of college bball at every BYU home game. Good times. :D

@nprofile…t344 @nprofile…r4e5 — and while holding their arm(s) in the air for long periods of time!
As a young teen, I took a puppetry summer workshop and one day we were encouraged to try holding our hands in the air for as long as possible. It turned into a fun competition to see who could last the longest. At one point it became almost unbearably painful, then the pain would come and go in waves. None of us made it to two hours. And then finally putting your arms down was also very painful.

@nprofile…fexr -- As a side note, I've come to believe all this to my own great surprise after being a lifelong agnostic, often even anti-theist, and initially investigating Christianity with a skeptical attitude similar to Scott Adam's and purely psychological interest similar to Jordan Peterson's.
But, Glory to God, every step I've taken into the Orthodox Church has produced amazing fruits in my life and grounded my belief on first-hand experiences of the salvific Mysteries of God. :)

@nprofile…fexr -- Here are a couple of my favorite lay Ortho apologists explaining (much better than I can) what seems to be the generally understood Orthodox Christian position regarding salvation for those who are outside the Orthodox Church.

@nprofile…fexr -- ... maintains the fullness of the truth and Holy Traditions, the most accurate interpretation of the scriptures it canonized, the most complete understanding of salvation as an ongoing process, and provides the most direct path to God.
And I can pray that Scott is truly repentant and can receive God's mercy (light and love). May he rest in peace.

@nprofile…fexr -- ...whether or not individuals outside the Church can be saved, since only God knows someone's soul, conscience, repentant heart and relationship with Him. And in His all-knowing wisdom and power, God can unite people to the Body of Christ through extra-normative means.
So it is not for me to judge the current state/trajectory of Scott Adam's soul. Only God can judge/discern that.
I can only say that I believe the Orthodox Christian Church, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit...

@nprofile…fexr -- it seems unlikely to me.
My opinion is based on my feeble understanding, as a neophyte/newb Orthodox Christian, that Jesus Christ established the Holy Church, with its mysteries, sacraments and traditions, including the canon of Holy Scripture, and it provides the most effective tools and direct way to be reunited with God. Since Scott was on a much different path, it seems very unlikely he will end up at the same destination.
At the same time, we are advised not to judge ...
