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

    Marriage—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.

    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.

    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:

    https://www.tumblr.com/headspace-hotel/661331419218509824

    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 :)

  • psychedelic_therapy Psychedelic Therapy LSD reshapes the brain's response to pain, neuroimaging study finds
    Jump
  • radix radix 3 weeks ago 100%

    [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.

  • til Today I Learned TIL that due to a disfunction of the ABCCII gene the majority of Asians have significantly less body odor than other populations
    Jump
  • radix radix 3 weeks ago 100%

    I'm East Asian. My ex (also Asian) said I smelled bad sometimes after exercising, but my current partner (not Asian) says I don't have any body odor. I do think that when we go to the gym together, their smell far outweighs mine. I can't smell myself at all, but then again, people are usually habituated to their own scents.

    Sometimes, though, when I was a child, my father would come home from the gym, and we could all smell him from a mile away. I don't know if that's because the gene skipped him or if it's just because humans generally think their close family members are stinky.

    It's nice to talk about this when my armpits aren't in danger of being sniffed by several drunk friends.

    Apologies; it's my first time posting here. I had just a link at first, but I thought it might be helpful to add a screenshot, like an overall preview of the post. Is it confusing to have something other than the link? I can take it out.

    I think the image is grainy because of lemm.ee's image uploading rules, but don't quote me on that... I really just wanted to have the image as a fallback of sorts, completely secondary to the link.

    Edit: I've updated the post to reflect that the image isn't meant to be the main thing. Is that the best thing to do?

    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!
