Please Support a Great Local Reptile Shop in Columbus

I wanted to give a shoutout to DK Reptiles & Exotics (3408 E Main St, Columbus, OH).
I stopped by today, and the owner mentioned he’d recently been in a car accident that set him back. He also said he’s meeting with his landlord and isn’t sure what the future holds for the shop.
I’ve always appreciated having a local reptile store where you can get honest advice and see that the animals are genuinely cared for. It would be heartbreaking to lose another small business that’s been a resource for the reptile community.
If you’ve ever shopped at DK Reptiles & Exotics, consider stopping by to pick up feeders, supplies, or anything you’ve been meaning to buy. Even sharing your positive experiences in the comments could help bring more people through the door.
Small businesses like this depend on community support, and I hope we can show them some love during a difficult time. 🦎🐍❤️

Discussing a genuinely hard question tomorrow at Honest Friend Brewing: why do we believe things we can't prove and how do we decide who to trust when we can't verify the facts ourselves?

Not a rhetorical question. It's the topic for a Sip Salon tomorrow in Columbus.

Here's the thing: pretty much every belief we hold: in scientific consensus, in institutions, in religious or spiritual ideas, in our own gut feelings requires us to trust something we haven't personally verified. We can't replicate the climate studies ourselves. We can't personally confirm the germ theory of disease. Most of us take on faith that the earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old because the people who study it say so.

So what actually separates reasonable trust from blind faith? And how do you know which one you're doing at any given moment?

The Sip Salon format is: read two short articles at the event, then gather for a discussion. No lecture, just a facilitated group conversation. The articles for this one are genuinely interesting one covers the cognitive science of why religious belief may be a byproduct of ordinary brain functions rather than pathology (turns out the same wiring that helped early humans detect predators also primes us to see "agents" behind unexplained events), and the other is a philosophy piece on the difference between something being false and someone being dishonest, which matters more for how we navigate information overload than most people realize.

It's at Honest Friend Brewing on July 6 from 6-8 PM. Two hours, drinks available, about 10-15 people usually. The format consistently produces the kind of conversation most of us don't get to have nearly enough.

Springfield sorrow

I’m sorry to write about this near July 4 th but I’m frustrated because the government here in Ohio is trying to kick out the Haitians from the town of Springfield. The same ones they slandered during the election. My heart is broken right now. I’m just so mad at the government. They have until the 10th to get out of Ohio and I just, God, I am so angry. I had no idea who to tell so I thought

Why not every redditor on the Ohio sub. Write it to somebody you know, just. Couldn’t think of anybody else. As I don't really trust the government. Maybe some of you tell other people, especially, if you know a lawyer. Pass it around that this is happening, if for no other reason, just to let people know that they’re getting treated so horribly. Have a good 4th of July.

When you see someone driving around with their car window missing and replaced with plastic, does that make you feel sad for them or do you literally feel nothing?

They're trying to keep this quiet but this is something that deserves public outrage. Please share this far and wide!

I have received an anonymous internal email that needs to be shared far and wide.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) preserves U.S. government records, manages the Presidential Libraries system, and publishes laws, regulations, Presidential, and other public documents.

Centralizing federal records and closing NAR field locations reduces access by the public and agencies that store their records there.

Regionalized facilities ensure no one has to travel all the way to D.C. just to get information on government business in their home area.

They're trying to keep this quiet but this is something that deserves public outrage.

Be aware, things like a pepper spray canister, spray deodorant, etc can burst in your car when the temperatures get this hot outside. For safety, Please remove from your vehicle until it cools down. Thank you

Looking for advice on how to be a safety coord. From the pros !

Hi Redditors ! I have a question on how I get in a project management I come from a call center or data entry background and I would love to get a certification and doing something administrative wise on a construction field. I don’t have any background in construction and I wanna know how to get my foot into the door on being a project manager , or a safety coordinator role . It doesn’t have to solely be in construction. It can be anything but safety coordinator is something that I’m looking forward to. I am in the central Columbus Ohio area.

Help me identify a hit and run

My sister the driver and I got hit June 19th at 6:30-40am while stopped at the 70/71 Cleveland/Wheeling exit trying to go to work. This car hauler semi simultaneously crashed into a black suv while what looked like a dry hauler semi hit my car and ran leaving it undrivable. The crash and police report are saying we were slowing down to look at the black suv which is false and idk how to get them to fix that so that's already messing things up but they also aren't mentioning that the car hauler semi had dashcam. I literally had to force the guy who drove the car hauler semi to show me it and he didn't want to tell the police he had it so I told them and officer bowers on scene told me he looked at the footage and confirmed it was a separate vehicle and filed the crashes as separate but they are saying the idott cameras are too far away on the report and saying witnesses couldn't give a good description and it says no follow up requested so are they just gonna give up?? I'm out of my car and I lost money from shifts I couldn't go to I'm struggling with bills bc I have to pay for Ubers and I'm still unsure on when I can make it to work or not. Everybody around me is acting like I should be doing more but I have no idea what I'm doing and my insurance was fucking 200 a month for just liability with no uninsured motors coverage so I'm fucked until they find the driver. IF ANYONE HAS DASHCAM FORM THAT DAY PLEASE DM ME I NEED ANY INFO I CAN GET

Why does the main board seem to think cars in buildings is the funniest thing on earth? Its fine(and good) to question why it seems to happen so disproportionately to try to resolve it, but the reality is a lot of these are probably seizures/medical issues. Not a laughing matter

Anyone see that post from the trans woman that's homeless ? A random male offered to let her stay with him. So many people are attacking her for not accepting. Those same people would call her stupid for going to a strangers home if she had taken the offer and ended up getting assaulted
