  • Are there any good math puzzle sites or apps?

    Jump

  • If you like geometry and trig, the apps Pythagorea and Euclidea are very fun puzzles. They're free and there are hundreds of puzzles. They get very difficult.

  • Protesters clash with ICE agents outside New Jersey detention center

    Jump

  • I'll tag on my language preference: instead of protestors I like to call us community members.

  • Evening rest

  • You weren't kidding, Lloyd. She's an angel!

  • What is your experience with an online cult?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't go that far. As OP said, some groups are certainly like that, but I've been to a couple that are actively and explicitly secular. Every group is different.

  • DeepSeek Permanently Reduces The Price Of Its Flagship V4 Model By 75 Percent

    Jump

  • I think I'm following what you're saying but I haven't read anything about this. Where can I read more?

  • Todd Blanche tells appropriators payouts for Jan. 6 rioters are possible

  • *killed police officers

  • What's something that you feel genuinely sad about that you've been keeping in for a while?

    Jump

  • I'm really sorry. I can't imagine the helplessness of watching that happen around you.

  • AOC: You can’t ‘earn’ a billion dollars

    Jump

  • I'm not a fan exactly, but I often see people use her wealth to make other criticisms about her like, "She's not an artist, she's a product." It's a criticism I never hear people make about male artists, and of all wealthy pop stars, she deserves SOME credit. She pays her stage crew well and takes time at every show to recognize them. She has writing credits on all her songs. She endorses Democrats for president (yes, at the last minute, but it's more than most celebrities do.)

  • Poll: 72 percent say there’s too much money in American politics

    Jump

  • I really try to avoid fatalism, but I struggle to think of how we put citizens united back in the bottle (other than, of course, violent revolution.)

  • What if your marriage is reverse of typical? She's the unavailable one

    Jump

  • I'm in a similar boat. I've been going to therapy for over 20 years. I've been with my wife for 13 years. She's funny, creative, and widely beloved by almost everyone who meets her. At home, she's emotionally hard to connect with. She's never been to therapy and sees no reason to start because "nothing's wrong with her." She meets many of the stereotypes that we usually apply to men - can't identify her emotions or claims she doesn't have them, and doesn't understand "why we have to talk about everything." We've been to couples therapy a couple times and she generally hated it, saying the therapist made it seem like everything was her fault. I know I deserve a partner who will join me in processing hard stuff, but it's been a very long road in trying to get there.

  • Jeff Daniels, Joel Edgerton, Caleb McLaughlin & Nnamdi Asomugha Join Netflix’s AI Thriller From Joseph Gordon-Levitt

    Jump

  • These days I have nearly zero interest in AI as a theme or plot point. Similar to how I have never been interested in movies about COVID. It's just too close to home.

  • ‘Shark Tank’ star Kevin O’Leary defends Utah data center project amid backlash

    Jump

  • I haven't been able to stomach it for maybe 8 years, but I used to really enjoy seeing people come up with clever solutions for annoying problems. There were plenty of people who made some little gadget in their garage and needed seed money to produce it at scale. The show sort of devolved into a tech bros who made a new app, and who didn't actually need investors but were looking for some free exposure.

    What is it like to live with a black-skinned woman/girl?

    Jump

  • I support you supporting curiosity. If OP is asking in good faith, they deserve not to get torn apart.

    That said, "racism" doesn't only describe explicit disparagement of one race by another. Racism can also be a feature of language, systems, communities, etc.

  • The New York Times, the Democratic Party and the preparation of Phase 2 of the war against Iran

    Jump

  • I cringe when my (well-meaning, truly) Democrat siblings mention NYT as a trusted news source. "Did Netanyahu Stumble Into a War Crime by Nuking an Orphanage?"

  • Pope Cancels Visit to the U.S. After Pentagon Threatens Vatican: Report

    Jump

  • Who are you asking?

  • Half of sheriff’s office indicted on charges, including abuse of a corpse

    Jump

  • Probably because sheriffs are elected, and aren't overseen by any government body. In between elections, they can do anything they want. The podcast In The Dark covered how a Minnesota county sheriff bungled, and then covered up, the investigation of the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling in 1989. Around the country, sheriff departments consistently have crime clearance rates below 20%. Pathetic.

  • To your last point, there's a great book called Survival of the Richest by Doug Rushkoff. He describes "The Mindset" in which tech billionaires keep trying to use tech to escape the climate apocalypse that they created. They simply lose the ability to think of any solution besides further growth.

  • The Diabolical Lies podcast had an episode recently where they explored the history of sexual orientation. Apparently it was only in the last 100 years that we started using "homosexual" to describe a person's identity rather than a person's behavior. Personally I support you identifying however you want, though I understand other people being less flexible.
