ckt60 | randygiesinger | 1,277,959,266,000 | I tend to try really really hard to "feel welcomed" although to a lot of other people I am perceived as not trying hard enough because I am not trying to their standards. So I'm saying "fuck them, I want more out of life"
ie: I try to be part of a group and/or relationship, I don't "try hard enough" and it makes other people feel unwanted
Edit: I guess its worth mentioning that I have a problem trusting people even in the tiniest bit. I'm a very skeptical person that will look for the flaws in everything.

ckw4h | iamdanthemanstan | 1,277,982,968,000 | I'm in the market for a new gaming laptop, my current one is four years old and not that powerful to boot. I was planning to spend about $2000 I think that will be enough to get something good enough to play all the games that are out now on the top settings as well as play all the games that come out in the next year or two on some settings. But I'm not really sure what model to get. I was leaning toward a Dell Alienware, probably a m15x but after reading that recently NYT article on Dell I'm not so sure anymore. I was leaning toward them since I'm probably going to China and I need something with a good international warranty. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I should do? | AskReddit | jewish |

cl0sg | gliscameria | 1,278,007,917,000 | Can anyone recommend an attorney in phoenix for an auto accident? There are just too many shady ones around, and I'm looking for someone who will just expedite the process and pressure the insurance company a bit, along with counseling me on what my options are and what I should look out for.
I'm not looking to sue or anything, but the guy who hit me has insurance through Farmers and their agents refuse to get back to me. The accident was over a month ago. Here's the timeline, if it matters. 1 week to get my claim# and adjusters name... 3 more days for them to get my info... one more week for someone to call me about repairs..one more week to tell me it's totaled. After that it's just a cluster fuck. I've logged all of the calls (outgoing and incoming) and kept a timeline. I have all the police papers, towing records, etc.
Their insurance has accepted fault and sent me paper work for the total loss of my vehicle. The problem is that this alone took 3 week and their assessment is not correct, plus I have recent repair paperwork and I want to keep the car. I cannot get anyone on the phone. I've moved up to talking to my contacts supervisor, and I can't even get him on the phone.
Any recommendations? (4 car accident, 3 stopped vehicles, 1 didn't stop)
*I am now dealing with the supervisor's supervisor.
The main problem now is that the car was heavily modified when I got it. Engine/tranny/body/cooling system... naturally since it was bought this way I don't have receipts. I'm faxing in my repair bills from before the accident, the car I am stuck driving (73 chevy, LOW gas mileage) and a copy of my current insurance. They said they'd provide me with a rental, but it's been 3 weeks of driving a car with no windows in Phoenix heat. | AskReddit | jewish |
cl5zb | mkipper | 1,278,039,228,000 | It seems to me that the base-6 counting system has some advantages over the current base-10 system, at least for kids learning math.
There would be only 36 entries in the multiplication table, making it easier for kids to memorize.
Standard "simple" mathematics would still work. That is, 10x10=100 (i.e. 6x6=36 in base-10)
We have 5 fingers, which can represent the numerals 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. So the largest number that can be represented with our hands is 55 (i.e. 35 in base-10).
So I guess my question is: why did no civilization ever try base-6?
[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal#Alternative_bases) suggests mentions that civilizations have used all sorts of bases, yet [never](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation) base-6!
(Note: I also seem to be confused about what base-6 actually means. There does seem to be mention of a quinary counting system, which is called base-5 but seems to be base-6 because it uses 0,1,2,3,4,5 as numerals.) | AskReddit | jewish |

Thanks to Deutoronomy's [suggestion](http://www.reddit.com/r/Favors/comments/cjhky/request_anyone_have_any_ideas_for_a_short_story/c0t1tbp) of coming to terms with [determinism](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinism) in a real life situation.

cl78v | Thistleknot | 1,278,048,486,000 | It started out as the local grocery store clerk who I would flirt with. About 10 years younger than my wife, same nationality. I always knew that it wouldn't go anywhere, so it was always at the register, but when one day I mentioned I fixed computers and she was like, "I just spent a shitload on repair" (after I guessed), I offered to fix it for free. All I did was diagnose a bad hd. My wife realized I went to the store with a "customers" laptop bag, and was all over me when I came back with beer. Busted. I'm trying to play it like I see it, that I was fixing what I would determine as a friend's laptop. Yeah, I find her attractive, but I'm not going to sacrifice my marriage for it.

There's gotta be some kind of programming that rewards us for removing foreign/diseased/dead tissue from our bodies. When it becomes to strong I suppose people get things like pathological scab picking and [Trichotillomania](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichotillomania).
The trait probably evolved because it is healthier to remove things but generally leaving stuff alone. Anyway, I was doing research on this when I came across [this gem](http://books.google.com.au/books?id=FWnb2oFnS6IC&lpg=PA180&ots=9MJyozPcNN&dq=evolution%20scab%20picking&pg=PA180#v=onepage&q&f=false):
> Most visitors to zoos will have noticed the engaging way in which chimps and other primates spend time picking through each other's fur and remoing bits of plant material, fleas and scabs. Such activity probably began as a form of reciprocal altruism: one indivdual could help to maintain the hygiene of another in return for the same 'back-scratching' favour later. However, the time that some primates, especially baboons, macaques, vervet monkeys and chimps. spend in grooming seems excessive for the demands of simple hygiene. **Even the nutritional benefit to the grroomer when a tasty flea or scab is found is low relative to the time expended.**

clno1 | Niflheim | 1,278,174,584,000 | I live in Israel, and if you're not going to a far away city to study, it's pretty common to live at home until you finish your BA (or during your BA).
So, I'm 25, me and my girlfriend are together for 3 years almost, and we've talked it over, and we want to move in together, and out of our family's homes.

cm40z | accountt1234 | 1,278,331,882,000 | At this point I don't really know anyone who believes it's added to keep your teeth strong. In fact, when I tell people it's added for that I get "No, that's calcium fluoride, which is still dangerous, but less so, sodium fluoride is a toxic waste product harmful to all forms of life", but others just laugh at me and say something like "Yeah, we invaded Iraq to find WMD's". I've heard various theories so far that try to explain why it's added to the water. Some claim it's added to reduce IQ's to keep people docile, because it causes brain damage. The people who say that are 100% serious, and treat it like it's common knowledge, and even make jokes about it. When someone says something stupid or naive, they'll say something like "have you been drinking from the public water supply again?'. Others claim that it's added because it's waste that is very hard to dispose of, and to keep the industry competitive, it's added to the water supply. That's the second most common answer. "Well, it's waste, and ya gotta leave it somewhere." Still others say it's simply meant to reduce birth rates, by lowering sperm counts and raising the number of spontaneous abortions. I tend to hear that answer from people with a scientific background or of left-leaning persuasion. Some of them will admit in one-to-one conversation that they don't like it, but "something has to be done" about overpopulation. Some people go a step further and claim it's added to weaken the immune system, and to get rid of surplus population that way. Those tend to be the people who believe in conspiracy theories. Fact remains, I don't know anyone at this point who believes it's added to keep your teeth strong. I've looked at all these claims people make, and they turn out to be right. Fluoride causes brain damage in lab animals at levels we're exposed to. It reduces IQ's. It causes lower sperm counts. It causes spontaneous abortions. It damages the immune system. It causes Kidney disease. It harms the bones by leaking calcium. It can cause rare cancers. When I tell people that all this stuff they told me is true, they laugh at me and basically react with "duh". It's pretty much common knowledge to the people I talk to. | AskReddit | jewish |

Here is the background: two weeks ago, I bought a heavy vinyl 1,800 gallon inflatable pool for my kids. I left it standing until yesterday when I decided to drain it and put it away for a while. While having one last swim, instead of hanging up the transparent blue cover as usual, I lazily left it on the grass for about an hour. The circle on the right is from the pool after two weeks, the grass under it is wet and smelly, but still alive in some places. The shape on the left is from the clear blue pool cover being left on the grass for less than 90 minutes.

They weave in and out of traffic, go in the wrong direction on local roads, hop on to the sidewalk and scream past pedestrians. Plus, they have no mufflers, so they are super loud. They also tear up the few park trails there are in the city and ride around recklessly around children in the fields. They also don't have license plates.

Microsoft Word doesn't have all the wiki code and features. Editing in Wikipedia web interface reminds me of editing html in notepad back in the Stone Age.
P.S. I recently discovered http://wikidashboard.parc.com. Are there any other analysis tools for wiki?

cn0f5 | steelcitykid | 1,278,533,502,000 | I've had this cube for nearly 3 years and I hate the color. It's a faded burgundy, almost a salmon color now. I have 2 overhead storage bins, and ample desk room. The desk is an L occupying 1 of 4 cubes, [HERE'S](http://imgur.com/c7Etz.jpg) a picture. Anyhow, I'd like some suggestions for gussying up this tired old hussy. My tastes are contemporary, nothing too silly (no giant anime cutouts, pedobear plushies etc, nothing like that.) but I'm looking for something more than thinkgeek.com could offer (selection wise that is).
I think I'd like to enjoy my workspace just a little bit more. I can't have plants because they'd get no sunlight. Anything else shouldn't be a problem. I'm a programmer if it helps, so programming geekiness is welcomed for sure, as are vidya games. Budget isn't terribly tight but I also don't want something that someone would steal and I'd be bent out of shape over. So XReddit, pimp my cube! | AskReddit | jewish |

cn2qd | the_nuclear_lobby | 1,278,545,569,000 | Energy dominates so much of our lives on a local, regional, and global scale.
But for the most part, the public doesn't care about the continuous, massive failures in energy policy from their leaders - why?
Energy should be one of the biggest election issues imaginable - it shapes how economies develop, the relations between nations and the amount of leverage they hold over one another, and is often a significant or contributing factor in wars or third world exploitation.
Some are now considering the energy angle to the BP oil spill because it is a spectacular event, but history tells us that the lessons learned will be all but forgotten, until the next group of politicians steps into office and repeats business as usual while spouting the same platitudes
Is it because the topic is so complicated, or maybe because the issues are generally so far removed from their life that they believe they have no control over it?

co5q6 | ohgoditsdoddy | 1,278,798,357,000 | Hey Reddit,
I have two seven year old little brothers (non-identical twins), they're 14 years younger than me.
One of them has been stuttering at various levels ever since he learned how to speak.
I really need help about this, because it's shattering to see said brother feel bad due to something he can't control.
It was virtually non existent when he was just learning how to speak, and then it started. It wasn't too bad, but it progressively got worse. For some time, he only stuttered for short periods, followed by long periods of fluent speech. It still isn't too bad, but now it has progressed to the point where it happens all the time, slightly more intensely than its used to.
I understand these are symptoms of developmental stuttering, as well as social anxiety syndrome.
In addition to the obligatory Googling and the Wikipedia search, my mother took my brother to a speech therapist, but one way or the other the therapy always kept getting interrupted. (Only relevant interruption: he didn't want to go on several occasions. **Question: What happens in speech therapy? How is the stuttering combatted, did he not want to go because he felt self-conscious about it?**)
Which brings me to my first concern: **Does speech therapy lose its efficiency after a certain age, and if not, how efficient is it really?**
The most important advice MANY therapists gave us was to never mention his condition. This is what we're trying to do, but there has been a few speed-bumps:
* The last therapist we took him to bluntly declared to him that he was a "stutterer", which in my native Turkish language sounds somewhat perjorative. This goes against every bit of information I've gathered thus far. His justification was that he should be "aware" of his condition, which he was, but he was never told this brutally.
* He mustered up the courage to ask about it on few occasions, despite the obvious discomfort it caused him. My explanation that stuttering is an affliction like any other, and that he need not be ashamed of it - i think fell on deaf ears. I said "stuttering" can be overcome to console him, in accordance with what I read about it.
* His twin brother is an inherently talented child. He excels at everything, he *is* a perfectionist and he has gratuitous amounts of self esteem, and he is a little cocky. My stuttering brother is also the same way, in terms of talent, but he has much lower amounts of esteem. *I do not know if it's the low self esteem that causes the stuttering, or the stuttering that results in the low self esteem. He is reluctant to try new things, or push things he once failed at, but he seems as sociable as his brother when he doesn't stutter, or if he's carried away and doesn't care about it.* According to my mother, his issue is not social anxiety. I personally don't know.
His brother is a nice kid, they do pick on each other, but he rarely targets his stuttering, although it's not unheard of. His brother is also very defensive of him towards other kids mocking him about it, this has established acceptance amongst the students of the school they go to, but I assume he does still get mocked about it.
His brother DOES however criticise him without mercy when he makes a mistake, and the mistakes he makes are usually due to his lack of self esteem.
**Concern #2: How do I boost his self esteem, and relevantly somehow introduce stuttering to him as something not to be ashamed of, and teach him to not get offended by those that seek to offend him by stagmatizing his condition?**
* I try guiding him when he asks about it, but alas I don't stutter. I don't know if stuttering can be overcome by willpower, practice, breath regulation and controlling one's excitement alone. My logic tends to conclude that he can control it if he stops to calm down when he senses he might stutter, and try again: but does it work that way? **Concern #3: How does one stutter, and what advice can I give him on combatting it? I can't help but feel that the advice I'm giving him is false and that it only *falsely* makes sense from a non-stutterer's point of view.**
**TL,DR: I need advice about my stuttering little brother and on how to guide him.** (Details above **do** matter, though.)
Thanks for your attempts at helping, Reddit.
**Edit:** THANKS, REDDIT. I received beautiful advice from three people, and it LITERALLY reduced my brother's stuttering to once every 20 sentences or so, from twice every sentence, after one sit-down of like 10 minutes. I'll be sure to pass along what you guys advised me here to the speech therapist we're taking him to this Friday. She came recommended, I hope she agrees with the approach we've taken.

codqv | GodLike1001 | 1,278,876,223,000 | I have around $700 and I'm considering upgrading my phone to an iphone.
I'd love to own an iphone, the majority of my friends own one and the apps/games are pretty awesome. However it seems like a waste to spend so much money on a single thing.
I thought that I should adjust my priorities and buy something I need, however I cant think of anything I need. I'm still a student, and all my bills are covered by my parents. (The money has been in my bank for 2 or 3 months untouched).
Also, I've noticed that most people own an iphone and that apple has become the leading phone manufacture...is it irrational to believe that this company may one day be the only phone manufacture. (I've noticed windows mobile, blackberry and even nokia have all slowed down in popularity).
I guess another factor is how I have a limited time before accepting responsibilities. A few more years and I'll be 18 and in college, probably saving to for a place of my own...I cant imagine spending excessive amounts of money on unnecessary equipment, perhaps I should enjoy my electronic liberty while I can...

In my spare time I teach drums to a couple of kids around the neighborhood. Since moving back to Texas from Arizona I have felt very unfulfilled. Even though I am a lucky bread to have a job in these times I feel like this current position at this firm is wasting my time.

So I have three options on the table and I REALLY don't know which one to do. Please help me reddit:
I could...
A. Consider myself lucky stick with the job, stay in the city I haven't enjoyed returning to, and hope that things will improve
B. Go to Graduate school and go to a one year master's in Education program and begin a career that i'm not 100% confident I want to do for the long run (High school teach) or
C. Risk almost every dime I have to attend the Musicians Institute and try to advance my drumming knowledge over the course of a year and pursue a career in my #1 passion drums

cou2b | SureSheDid | 1,278,980,078,000 | So I bought my boyfriend a ps3 for Christmas last year. I bought it at Sears and paid $399 (on my debit card) for a **160GB** "fat" ps3. My boyfriend is not tech savvy at all, I'm the techy one in the relationship. He simply plays the game, I even had to get it on our wireless network for him, he doesn't even know how to do that. I don't play the game at all, just bought it for him. So recently the disc drive started acting up and since I didn't feel like dealing with Sony (though it was still under warranty) I took it into my work (computer repair company) and had one of the techs take a look at it. We found an issue with the disc drive, but the bigger issue we found is that there was only a **120GB** hard drive in it. Now that I have taken it apart, the warranty is void, so I don't expect Sony to even address my concern, but I'm pissed. I paid for a 160GB system, I expect to have a 160GB system. So, Reddit, what should I do? Complain (and if so, to who) or take it as a loss?
