  • What do you cook when you want to impress your guests?

    Jump

  • For dinner, anything from Alison Roman. For dessert, anything from Claire Saffitz. It's a pretty basic take but their recipes are simple and incredibly tasty.

  • Tom Homan confirms ICE to be at airports starting Monday

  • They have not increased their activity in Minneapolis since they announced the drawdown. They weren't gone right away, and they're still using the Whipple building for detention and outfitting vehicles, but most of the abductions are happening in the greater metro area and even then they've decreased.

  • Can anyone recommend a small vacuum for cleaning my desk and work area that doesn't break the bank?

  • What's your budget exactly? I haven't tried them, but Consumer Reports has high ratings for the DustBuster CHV1410L and the ION HHVI315JO42. You can get either one for under $50.

  • It's for women to wear in their vaginas when they believe sexual assault is unavoidable. It has spines pointing inward that will hook onto a penis to stop the assault and punish the assaulter.

  • Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars. The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price.

    Jump

  • Oh, I fully believe community is the most important resource. I wouldn't be driving off somewhere to fend for myself, I would just want my car to be functional.

  • Pulse Nightclub, site of the 2016 shooting that killed 49 people in Orlando, FL has been demolished

  • I'm so sorry you had to experience that. I wasn't there, but I think about that night a lot. I go to a lot of shows and festivals, and it's therapeutic to be able to take drugs and dance in the dark with my friends. The idea of a tragedy happening during such a joyful time is just unspeakable. I'm glad you're safe and I wish you all the healing in the world.

  • My last car was an EV. I loved how it drove, I loved charging at home and never having to stop at the gas station, and I told everyone around me, "If you can afford it, you have an ethical obligation to buy a hybrid or an EV." Since Trump 2.0 I've been concerned about some form of collapse that would make me flee my home - natural disaster, violent military occupation, etc. I started to wonder, "What's stopping Elon from limiting access to all these superchargers?" Public chargers are much slower than gas, and they're easily vandalized. The whole thing just seems like a liability at this point. At least in a Mad Max scenario I could barter for a can of guzzoline.

    I hate that I'm even considering any of this.

  • What so far has been a movie so far in to 2026 that you would recommend to others? Or one that your excited for?

    Jump

  • Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie was hilarious and ambitious. I saw it in theaters twice and I think about it all the time.

  • Pete Hegseth attacks media for not being positive enough about US attacks on Iran

  • Thank you for writing this.

  • Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing

    Jump

  • I got a TCL last year and it wouldn't let me use the TV until I set up the internet. After 4 factory resets I figured out how to put it in store demo mode, and plugged in a separate streaming device that connects to the internet. Now I realize I could have connected the TV to the internet and then blocked it at the network level.

  • I remember trying to run Spider-Man on my 1080p monitor and wondering why it looked like complete shit even at 30fps. You're right that the strength is limited, and lots of AAA games will need the settings lowered quite a bit to run smoothly.

  • Kamala Harris might run for president again in 2028. Please, no | Arwa Mahdawi

    Jump

  • In 2020 Bernie and Biden were the front-runners, and then all the other candidates dropped out and endorsed Biden. So it wasn't ratfucked in an illegal way, but in a "torpedo a popular leftist in favor of a right-of-center establishment neolib" way.

  • Whats a Good App to Hide Certain apps Behind a Password or Pattern Unlock?

  • I believe you need a separate Google account for the separate space, just FYI.

  • What is something you dont care to understand or "get"?

    Jump

  • This would have been my top line comment. I wish anime wasn't such a glaring blind spot for me, because it's something so many people connect on. But I see it like reality TV. There's 1000 shows with 1000 episodes each, and some shows are probably great, but I've never been interested.

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • It's so special and it has a lot of really important messages. Everyone has parts of their lives you don't see, it's okay to laugh at yourself, and we're all in this together.

    They did such a good job with S02E01, I wish we got a chance to see how they'd portray the pandemic.

  • High Maintenance on HBO. It's an anthology show (different characters every episode) that centers on a guy who bikes around NYC selling weed. It manages to be hilarious while focusing on some very sad and strange experiences. It feels very grounding to me and I always feel a sense of "we're going to get through this."

  • What song/band did you not expect to like - but ended up loving?

  • Those people perform at such a high level. And they do it every night without missing. I can't wrap my head around it.

  • It's an unbelievable gift. You can pretty much play anything on Criterion and it will be somewhat nutritious (as the Buddhists would say)

  • Updates to the ‘bible’ for mental-health conditions will miss the mark — is it time to ditch the DSM?

    Jump

  • Sorry, you said insurance and I missed it somehow. I agree that laymen and insurance companies treat it as a bible, but I also think that's how the APA presents it. If the goal is to compile "symptoms that tend to present together" the DSM does a poor job of making that clear.

    I have several problems with the DSM. This isn't an exhaustive list but off the top of my head:

    -It's based on the idea that there's a clear line between "normal" and "disordered" mental functioning, and that we can quantify all of a person's experiences to land on either side of that line. There are a handful of diagnoses that are discrete enough for me to say "you either have it or you don't" but the majority of them are so arbitrary that they're not useful. Mood disorders are especially vague.

    -Inter-rater reliability is notoriously poor. I can diagnose anyone with a disorder to argue medical necessity for therapy.

    -It includes conditions that cannot and should not be diagnosed by mental health professionals, like narcolepsy. It's good for providers to know what narcolepsy is, but unless they're going to include every other medical condition, I don't know why they include the ones they do.

    -DSM-5 broadened the criteria for several disorders, possibly to increase access to insurance coverage, but it's edging ever closer to categorizing every human experience as a disorder. According to DSM-5, if you're having depressive symptoms for more than 2 weeks after a loved one dies, it's no longer grief and it's considered a major depressive episode. When people criticized that bereavement clause, DSM-5-TR included "prolonged grief disorder" which extends the time you can grieve the loss without a MDD diagnosis. But grief is absolutely a normal response to loss, and sometimes it can be really disruptive and long-lasting. Why are we pretending that's disordered?

    -The majority of every DSM task force has been older white men, and we should be very skeptical of what they consider normal or not.
