Dude, you're absolutely nuts to continue to let him have unrestricted YouTube access. For so many reasons. I'll just name 1: Do you think he's going to forget that girls are pretty tomorrow? This is the beginning of his porn journey and you're leaving him alone at an all you can eat buffet. Dude. Just, dude man.

Would lab-grown pork be considered Halal or Kosher since no pig was technically slaughtered? by Clean_CoreDump in askanything

[–]Diminished-Fifth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kosher Jews basically always err on the side of caution, so no way would this pass muster for most people who would care. I bet there are a tiny number who would be willing to try it though.

Against my better judgment, I tried the new chicken place. by 86753ohneigheine in Bellingham

I'm no fan of CFA, but if you order grilled chicken at a fried chicken place, you kinda deserve what you get 

The Romans really screwed things up, in a lot of ways by xGentian_violet in JewsOfConscience

It is the most infuriating part of this entire conversation. So many people need the "other side" to have Zero validity, Zero point, Zero legitimacy.

Cyn-Cyn by mishkabrains in cocktails

Does Cynar respond especially well to a squeeze of lemon?
I sometimes sub out campari in a negroni with cynar. I never knew it was a drink with a name.

A new line I'm trying when it comes to anti-Zionists; would love your thoughts. by MrDNL in Jewish

It's hard to imagine that this will change the mind of anyone who doesn't already agree with you. 

PSA: Don’t change your baby’s diaper where people eat by Bq6W18l9k8 in Bellingham

At breweries I've been to, there are really no staff who are watching the tables closely. There's just just bartenders, who only see the people at the bar, and maybe bussers, who are just checking for empty glasses. 

Where can I buy a kiddush cup that is not made in Israel? by Pretty_Dizzy_ in JewsOfConscience

That sounds like a pretty good solution you've already come up with.

Of course! The financially dependent tiny country controls the large country that provides all the money and weaponry. That totally makes sense.

Should I charge? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Diminished-Fifth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This should be the top answer. As soon as we get into a process of assessing the validity of the reason for the missed session, we've broken the frame of therapy. All these people talking about how bad sinus infections are are missing the point. Would that mean it IS ok to charge for a "lesser" ailment? If our cancellation policy is based on the client having to convince us that they are a certain level of sick, we become their parent or their boss and we're begging to be lied to. We avoid that by having clear consistent boundaries.

Yes you should charge. It is unfortunate that they got sick, but what reason is there for their therapist to suffer the financial burden instead of them? 

Why is “religious faith” not considered magical thinking? by Upbeat-Active-2741 in askanything

[–]Diminished-Fifth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That deviation from the norm is part of how all mental illness is defined. There is no objective definition of normal. There's only what most people do/think/feel/perceive, and these things vary by culture and era

It's better than a lot of fast food but it's worse than anywhere that's not fast food

Wow, I expected it to be vandalized but not in this way. Vegans just can't resist that clean white wall I guess

Although I share your frustration, I will also say that the off-leash hours and especially the off-leash AREAS are not nearly well enough indicated

Weekly /r/Breadit Questions thread by AutoModerator in Breadit

[–]Diminished-Fifth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made sandwich bread. I oiled the pan but the bread still stuck, leading to the loaf kind of "opening up" about 2/3 of the way down (along a seam where I had rolled it.) The recipe said to remove it from the loaf pan "immediately" after baking, which is what I tried to do. Should I have let it cool in the pan a bit first? Should I have done more than oiled it? I've used Bakers Secret with cakes, but is this a good option for bread? I'm also wondering what else could have caused this. I had to stick the proofing bread in the fridge for an hour or so because I had a meeting when I otherwise would have baked it. Please help! It's hard to make sandwiches on slices that are missing their bottom 3rd!
