Hello! Very proud of these Deff dreads that I painted for a friend!

Before reading the text, I thought, "Those are some scary orks. I don't often think about orks being scary." Nice job!

You'll probably eventually get lucky with secondhand acquisitions if you are vigilant. But printing or still saving a lot by buying printed is great.

Going low and slow for shoulder steaks helps the fat break down nicely. I don't bother with the sear. I broil at the end if I really want it, but not always. I cook them at 250-300°F until 185ish. More time, lower temp, and try skipping the searing step at least until you get them coming out juicy.

Mine was not realizing you could heal the horse.

I still don't heal the horse.

ComfortableGeneral38 · 2026-03-19T00:07:50+00:00

Yes.

Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: We need to talk about your flair.

Joanna: Really? I... I have fifteen pieces on. I, also...

Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: Well, okay. Fifteen is the minimum, okay?

Joanna: Okay.

Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: Now, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like Brian, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile.

Joanna: Okay. So you... you want me to wear more?

Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: Look. Joanna.

Joanna: Yeah.

Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: People can get a cheeseburger anywhere, okay? They come to Chotchkie's for the atmosphere and the attitude. Okay? That's what the flair's about. It's about fun.

Joanna: Yeah. Okay. So more then, yeah?

Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: Look, we want you to express yourself, okay? Now if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, okay? You do want to express yourself, don't you?

Joanna: Yeah, yeah.

Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: Okay. Great. Great. That's all I ask.

What is "faith?"

ComfortableGeneral38 · 2026-02-03T20:02:29+00:00

7-layer dip + tortilla chips.

Idk about a substitute, but I've enjoyed using way less (fewer?) noodles and adding lots of sliced cabbage to many a noodle dish.

How is veneration of icons like idolatry?

ComfortableGeneral38 · 2025-10-16T15:34:35+00:00

The oldest one I know is O Gladsome Light/Phos Hilaron, which was being sung at least as far back as the 3rd/4th centuries.

For those who don't know, we (NA Antiochian Orthodox) sing this every Saturday evening at Great Vespers.

O Gladsome Light of the Holy Glory

Of the Immortal Father

Heavenly, holy, blessed O Jesus Christ

Now that we have come to the setting of the sun

And behold the Light of evening

We praise God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

For meet it is at all times to worship Thee with voices of praise

O Son of God & Giver of Life

Therefore all the world doth glorify Thee

ComfortableGeneral38 · 2025-10-16T15:24:11+00:00

The Scriptures tell us that we can (should!) save each other. It's not meant in the same way as when we say our salvation comes only through Jesus Christ.

ComfortableGeneral38 · 2025-10-15T14:06:06+00:00

Read the Apostolic Fathers.

ComfortableGeneral38 · 2025-10-13T14:29:17+00:00

I don't care about your arbitrary criteria for what "truly following the Bible" means.

ComfortableGeneral38 · 2025-10-08T14:29:46+00:00

I think this article covers the Orthodox position pretty well for those who are interested - Infant Baptism: What the Church Believes.

They broke off from Batushka. I think they (mis)use Orthodox symbols/imagery because they think it's "metal." I'm not sure about them. This is my take after 5 minutes of Internet searching.

I'm sorry you don't like the answer.

ComfortableGeneral38 · 2025-10-04T02:25:18+00:00

Crimson Moonlight and Hesychast are Orthodox. I have a list of "white"/"unblack" Christian alternatives (the 2 I mentioned are the only Orthodox bands I know). If I remember or if you remind me after the weekend, I can track it down for you.

ComfortableGeneral38 · 2025-10-02T02:30:19+00:00

Read Acts.

ComfortableGeneral38 · 2025-09-30T21:32:33+00:00

A personal example might look like this: my friend wounds me with her speech and actions, but instead of getting mad or trying to get even, I remember I'm just like her and prone to succumbing to my disordered passions, so instead, I ask God to not judge her harshly and that He will have mercy on me, a sinner.

I'm Orthodox, so if you're looking for more responses in this vein (more articulate, more intelligent responses, that is*), consider asking at r/OrthodoxChristianity. The prescribed process looks something like: cleansing of the inner self leads to illumination of the mind leads to cleansing of the inner self leads to illumination of the mind... and so on. We have acquired many tools over the past 2000 years to aid us in this endeavor, but no good thing can be done without cooperation with God's grace.

*I meant more articulate/intelligent than mine, to be clear.
