New member of the fam... Say hello to Vin
  • Such a cute name, and it seems like it suits her!

  • Spiritual battery
  • Thanks for pointing out that it was Paul not Jesus who said that. I feel silly now. Corrected my comment.

  • Spiritual battery
  • Christ does Christians do say canonically that the church is like Christ's wife.

    Marriageβ€”Christ and the Church

    22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

    (Ephesians 5:22-24)

    And bridal theology goes back to the Old Testament, in Song of Songs.

  • What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)?
  • Watched Asteroid City recently for the first time. I thought the play within the movie (and the intertwining back and forth of storylines) was really interesting and entertaining.

  • We are trapped
  • JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT. MUCH JOY HAS BEEN BROUGHT AND, DARE I SAY, WROUGHT.

  • Tarot reading expert
  • Someone did my tarot recently, and I didn't realize the second way existed. Paired with introspection after the fact, the experience was quite therapeutic.

  • Every woman's dream body
  • Oh, thanks!

  • Every woman's dream body
  • (Sorry, what game is this from? Pretty cool silhouette!)

  • What's the most useless skill you've mastered, and how did you end up getting so good at it?
  • Were you ever in marching band? I got relatively good at that after putting my all into marching band in high school.

  • I am failing English πŸ‘πŸ™ŒπŸ˜
  • What was it?

  • What is the (subjectively) weirdest word in the English language?
  • Thanks, stole it myself!

  • A dog is not the opposite of a cat
  • So the desired response is, "What is "what is up dog?"?"?

  • How is Open Source project work paid?
  • That's impressive. Is it still licensed under a libre copyleft license? Surely that's too good to be true.

  • What is Tumblr like as a social platform?
  • I'm honored!

  • What is Tumblr like as a social platform?
  • My bad. Text rather than images.

  • What is Tumblr like as a social platform?
  • Usually bots are created with minimal effort. They post porn or affiliate links or something, and then they spam like / follow people to get people to click on their username and view their blog. They get quickly banned, and then they come back with another username. Shitty little pornbots.

  • What is the (subjectively) weirdest word in the English language?
  • It's a Q: a bunch of vowels are lined up behind it!

  • What is Tumblr like as a social platform?
  • It's fun! Tumblr has been basically singlehandedly supporting the textpost meme industry on Instagram for years. I like that Tumblr tends to tilt toward text rather than words images; here's my favorite example of that:

    If you're thinking of joining, the #1 thing to remember is to reblog (and optionally tag) things you like, not just tap the heart icon. Tumblr is for curating a blog of things you like, and if you don't reblog anything, you look like a bot and you will get blocked. Also, likes don't actually do anything for the algorithm; likes are more like "save for later".

    You decide your own algorithm, to some extent, by hitting Follow on people whose blogs you like. I like that. I think it might resonate with Lemmy users too :)

  • LSD reshapes the brain's response to pain, neuroimaging study finds
  • [This] study only included healthy volunteers who were not experiencing chronic pain. Therefore, it is unclear how LSD might affect individuals with chronic pain conditions, who may have different brain connectivity patterns than healthy individuals. Further research is needed to explore whether LSD could be effective in alleviating chronic pain in patients and how it compares to other pain management strategies.

    Cool study, but it's a bit limited because of this. I was hoping they would find something analogous to how MDMA might help treatment-resistant depression.

  • It's rare to find two posts in a row for which you can use the same title.
  • Nice title. I see what you did.

  • Chemistry of saturated, unsaturated, monounsatured, and polyunsatured fats

    This explanation has pictures, and I learned me a thing or two from it!

    Here's a (grainy, blurry) screenshot, if you don't feel like clicking away to read the comment in its original glory:

    > I haven't drawn in this loose style very much before, but my friend inspired me to try. She said she draws basic shapes (triangles, squares) and then does shading, rather than drawing specific things like body parts. I did much more scribbling. > > What do you think? Anything you like or dislike about my drawings? I'd love to hear :D

    Frequent crashes on Android native app

    Is anyone else getting reports that Voyager is crashing frequently? I'm using Voyager version 1.27.0 on my Android phone, and I'm using the native app, not the PWA.

    This issue has persisted for about a week now, even after several reboots. I have also tried clearing the application cache, with no results.

    I free-handed a bee and some honeycombs on some jeans with the last of my yellow embroidery floss, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

    I'm not a professional, and I certainly don't do things the way you're "supposed to" (planning things out, sketching them with water-soluble ink/chalk), but I had fun making this and I'm excited to wear it :D

    One thing I learned is that denim requires a thicker needle and not necessarily a sharper tinier one. I was using a thinner one previously and it kept getting stuck between threads and bending when I tried to pull it through. It's way easier with a small embroidery hoop and a big needle!

    Android voicemail transcription app

    Does anyone know of any privacy-oriented voicemail clients for Android that transcribe messages?

    Female Fashion Advice @lemmy.world radix @lemm.ee
    What do you consider to be "vintage" women's clothing?

    I like watching bestdressed and I think I like her style, but sometimes she says something is "vintage". Similarly, Nicole Rafiee sometimes mentions vintage home decor items (not fashion, but still). And I can't identify what is so vintage about these things.

    What do you consider to be "vintage" women's clothing? If you're going to say "It depends", then what does it depend on?

    Ability to toggle haptic feedback?

    Is there a setting to remove haptic feedback (vibration upon voting and probably some other less common actions I'm forgetting)?

    For context I'm using the Chrome PWA on Android.

    Opening links in different browser?

    I have downloaded the Voyager PWA from one browser (Chrome), but I want links I click in the PWA to open in another browser (Firefox Nightly).

    Currently, links I click in the PWA open in-app, preventing me from easily switching between the Lemmy context of the link and the website itself. Is there a way to set it to open in another browser rather than within the same app?

    Kim Petras seamless song transitions

    Is anyone else obsessed with how well the songs in Turn Off The Light and Slut Pop blend in to each other? Seamless transitions like between "There Will Be Blood" and "Bloody Valentine" on Turn Off The Light remind me of albums like Hamilton. It's like there's a coherent story I can follow while driving home or drawing, and it makes me so happy.
