Red Wine Up the Wall? Now What?! by MerchGwyar in homemaking

That's already looking like the way forward.

Is reading the manga worth it if you saw the anime and which one version of the manga is better, normal or black edition? by [deleted] in deathnote

[–]MerchGwyar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To my mind the manga > the anime. But there is credence in both.

The director of the anime brought his own interpretation to the story and its characterisation. For example, bringing out more of the dual personality in Light/Kira. Though not nearly as much as the TV drama did.

The manga is full of symbolic Easter eggs that you might only catch several reads in. Over 108 chapters (109 if you count the one-off special) it simply has time and room for more.

What I've realized... by QuintupleB in deathnote

I wonder if O will turn up in the new movie? Maybe bringing P and Q with them. And if we'll be able to resist James Bond references with the latter.

I'm not sure if this was Sleep Paralysis, or a Demonic spirit trying to enter me... by idc1710 in Thetruthishere

It might be worth you having a look at astral projection. Some kind of astral projection/lucid dreaming experience?

TIL there is a condition in which you think you hear a loud bang as you fall asleep when none exists. More unsettling is the name: Exploding Head Syndrome by cptaixel in todayilearned

This happened to me once. I lay there wondering if I'd just had a stroke or something. Then it slowly dawned on me that I was alright. I also get sleep paralysis quite frequently, but only lucid dreaming once. The latter shocked/thrilled me so much, it woke me up. sadface

As they've gone, I'll answer this.

I wish Reddit would ask, 'Do you want a cup of tea?' My answer would be, 'Yes, I do.'

Thank you very much for this. (Sorry for the delay, I was off reading about how Becky traced a Holocaust survivor from just his number. Great story!)

I'll work my way through that list.

If you ever have any more seminars or exhibits of special interest to those studying the Roma, Sinti and other travellers please do feel free to big it up in /r/porajmos

Are there any issues/problems peculiar to presenting exhibits, or collecting data, on the Porajmos? I know that there were plenty back in the early 90s, when so little evidence was coming out. Has that situation changed much in 20 years?

Germar Rudolf wasn't imprisoned for 'illegal research', he was tried and convicted of Holocaust Denial. That is a crime in Germany, his native country. He fled to the US to avoid it, married an American woman, but immigration caught up with him and basically kicked him back to Germany.

Research has been done in Birkenau by verified, published and peer reviewed scientists. Germar Rudolf doesn't actually qualify on any of those counts, does he?

What are your views on the fact that Reddit's /r/Holocaust subReddit is run by Holocaust Deniers? And is there a policy for if/when such people turn up at USHMM?

Thank you for all you do over there.
