SpiralEnergy | leagueoflegends | t5_2rfxx | cbea5c1 | he just explained it?
I like comedy/action movies, you could like horror, someone else romance, etc. It's about personal preference. What I like is not necessarily something you like. I find PL funny and entertaining, doesn't mean you have to. He's just an entertainer, and you're entitled to not like his form of entertainment, just don't expect others to feel the same way you do (read: if you don't like his stuff, you don't have to bother looking at it). | to each their own |
InformationStaysFREE | worldnews | t5_2qh13 | cbf7zyb | And that's not a receipe for another bin laden nooo, sounds nothing at all like what happened in Afghan in the 90s. I'm sure our government supplied AK-47s are not currently being used against us today. | WTF? |
tsk05 | worldnews | t5_2qh13 | cbf96ff | Unnamed sources" are bad when there is no reason to hide those sources: like when CNN was reporting about how evil Gaddafi was, there is no reason to hide those sources - who is going to punish them for giving the official government line? When you report about something the government or elsewhere doesn't want people to know, there is a clear reason for keeping sources anonymous. | Anonymity is bad when granted for bad reasons. If anonymity was bad altogether, investigative journalism wouldn't exist. |
Mortons_Spork | Games | t5_2qhwp | cbf7aip | WoW has been one of the only MMO's that ever offered anything remotely close to challenging content in terms of end game. I feel a lot of the success of that came from a sub-based model stemmed from the amount of time some of the mechanics of the game took to master. Much of heroic raiding for the average guild were somewhat difficult and took a decently long time to get down. For the avid PvPer climbing the ladder in Arena was simple enough but maintaining a certain high rating to stay competitive was also a bit time consuming.
It was usually all worth it to shell out $15 bucks a month especially if you never played any other game. But if they're going to a B2P or worse a F2P model, then I can see their next game hardly offering much if any of that same challenging type of end game content.
Why? Because every time I've played a B2P like GW2 or F2P like Neverwinter, it's always the same story. The leveling is fun enough, the mechanics of the game fun (if not a bit shallow) but once you get to end game there isn't a god damn thing to do.
"Well you're a 'content locus'!" This is the poorest excuse I hear all the time that always comes from the ultra casual extremist corner. The kind of player who has little time on their hands but more of it than actual skill. if anyone's played an MMO seriously enough you'll know the type. They stand in fire all the damn time, they consistently lose in any 1v1 pvp scenario, etc.. Might be nice people, but are generally pretty terrible at these games.
Those are what MMO's are shifting their attentions to and why cash shops are so lucrative these days. Why level, gear up and master your class so that you can test your mettle against some truly challenging content and actually earn those cool mounts, sweet skins, silly mini pets etc ..when you can just whip out that wallet and pay for it! That's what pretty much every cash shop in these games. | Someone else said it best in another MMO-related threat but basically cash shops in these games will always be an opportunity cost to devs who will either produce content for players to earn by you know, actually playing or.. view it as another way to just make some more money by letting them buy it. |
TheCodexx | Games | t5_2qhwp | cbf8i74 | Well, there's always been two types of MMOs, EverQuest (PvE) and Ultima (PvP) games. Right now, the latter only has EVE to carry the torch, and someday maybe World of Darkness. It's disappointing that the MMO market as it originally was (and is best utilized) is being carried by one lone company. But that's better than it being totally dead.
Still, it's super disappointing that the genre has become so predictable, yet so well-known and "popular", but only from one game and one subgenre of copycats. This has led to a lot of people assuming anything WoW and its clones does is "standard", when that is not the case. People don't even question the concept of a Raid, or how inventory works, or... you get the idea. And now games like GW2 are trying to reinvent the subgenre of EverQuest clones and PvE-focused MMOs, but your interaction is still so limited because nobody questions stuff like that. | If I can't craft and drop a trapped chest in a central location where players gather and let some poor sap lockpick it and have it blow up in his face in Titan, the MMO genre is dead and Blizzard killed it. |
Othellion | wow | t5_2qio8 | cbghulo | If you're to believe all the conspiracy theories its more likely that Ner'zhul is dead. Throughout the quests in Northrend the lich king refers to himself as a shaman. Which could mean rather than overpowering Ner'zhul, Arthas' mind simply fused to it. Meaning that with Arthas dead either Ner'zhul and Arthas are dead, or neither are really dead. Also some suggest that perhaps ner'zhul is behind Garrosh's Headstrong attitude given that the lich king essentially set all his army up and garrosh repeatedly shit all over them. Coupled by the fact that Garrosh really only ever tolerated the Tauren because of how useful they were in the Northrend War. | Arthas and Ner'zhul are most likely fused and either theyre both dead or both alive inside the Helm of Domination. |
Othellion | wow | t5_2qio8 | cbg3xxq | The Shards of Frostmourne were likely collected by whoever got rid of Arthas' body, which would be Tirion. It was also speculated that Sylvanas has them (She goes to the top of the frozen throne in her short story) however in the same story the shards/body are already gone. Most likely either the Argent Dawn or the Ebon Blade are holding them (or both have pieces).
Also Jaina is just going banana's over Garrosh being Villainous dictator that her (and blizzards) Green Jesus aka Thrall put in charge. | Jaina is pissy because of Garrosh shitting on everyone and no longer having thrall to have sneaky wanks over. |
atfyfe | gaming | t5_2qh03 | cbgp4h0 | One of the ambushes I was in during the Iraq War:
I was one of the 2 guys on the crest of a bridge right in the killzone. 3 Humvees got across the bridge and engaged the enemy outside the killzone with small arms. The 2 front Humvees in the convoy had SAW gunners up top, but after getting across the bridge just abandoned us. I don't know if it was miscommunication or what. Luckily there was one more SAW in the convoy: mine. I just liked the SAW better than the M16 and so whenever anyone went home for 2-weeks leave I would use their SAW for those 2-weeks as my personal weapon.
Anyway, so my first instinct was to try and close the distance between myself and the enemy (it was a weird bridge and had no sides to take cover). Then I suddenly realize the insanity of what I was doing: ""Why am I charging the enemy, they are like 300 meters away? I need to just return fire out here in the open." So I get down to setup on the edge of the bridge and try and locate the enemy.
So now I'm on the bridge edge and I can hear where the AK47 fire is coming from and I can sort of see where the Soldiers outside the killzone seem to be firing, but I just cannot figure out which window/car/wall the enemies are firing from. From hearing alone I think I've figured out which house it is, but other than that my inner monolouge was: "fuck fuck fuck where are they fuck fuck okay it's that house fuck fuck fuck hey, where are the other SAW gunners fuck fuck".
Unable to locate exactly where the enemy positions were but having a rough guess, I just go with suppressive fire and open up on the house that the best I can tell is where the enemy is firing from. I blanket the house in a zigzag motion like I was painting the wall with bullets.
Now up until this point the only weapons fire has been 5-6 M16s (pew pew) and AK47s (much louder and more intimidating). So we are maybe a minute into this and I finally open up with my machine gun. When I stop, the enemy gun fire also stops.
No enemy dead (we would have heard about it the next day if there had been) and the CPT didn't allow us to go chase the enemy down (I don't know why, he was a total badass and I never thought to ask him why we didn't pursue that day; the enemy blew him up a week later with an IED in the mayor's office and he got a ticket home).
Anyway, I have a meritorious medal that list several engagements and missions that among them cites this incident. So, at least partially, it was an actual suppressive fire award. | Got a medal IRL for suppressive fire with a SAW.
EDIT: But, yes, in general you want short 3-5 round bursts with your SAW. I got hell from my brothers in arms for firing so many rounds without a kill during this engagement. The fact that we bother to aim and the enemy almost never aims is probably the biggest reason why I am still alive. The enemy always just put their AK's on full auto (usually after taking off the butt-stock since they were firing from the hip) and fired wildly. I had a guy unload with an AK at me from maybe 10-15 feet and not get a single hit. Just think: if you don't aim, you never hit anything at the weapons range--so you 700% more don't want to do that in real combat. |
bbrianagnar | TwoXChromosomes | t5_2r2jt | cbhm4zx | Went through the same thing as a teen. I was 17, so my mom went to the doctor with me and I knew I wasn't pregnant, so I wasn't trippin'. Then the doctor asked if I was sexually active and all that and then I was freaking out a bit. Then I was scared that I was pregnant even though I knew I wasn't. Then she came back and was like you're not pregnant but your hormones are all jacked up and you've probably had an irregular cycle always, right? Then my mom, right before the doctor was leaving the room, "can we get a birth control prescription for her?" | I love my mom. |
TheButcherr | changemyview | t5_2w2s8 | cbhma67 | My parents were in Amway during most of my childhood. I got dragged across the country to conventions and seminars all of the time. It was cool, I got to hang out in expensive hotels and meet multi-millionaires. They weren't all that high up the food chain, (I think they got to the Pearl level or whatever the fuck that is, but they got a oyster in a jar for it) but they made some ok money. It may not have been that much if you counted out all the hours they put into it, but they still receive checks in the mail from it (now like 15ish years later). My dad has said that he would never have been as successful as he is without Amway. Not necessarily just because of the cash, (which did help bankroll his own business) but because it made him talk to people. He had to go out and bring up this business opportunity to family, friends, and even strangers. He broke through any anxiety of that kind of situation, which allowed him to be more brazen and go on and be successful at other things. | Parents were in Amway, made a little cash and experience and don't regret it. |
Ajegwu | changemyview | t5_2w2s8 | cbhnbuq | Let me give you a little personal history first. In 1993 I joined Amway for a few months and swore off MLM as a scam for idiots. Since then, I started a new unit at Blue Cross/Blue Shield, worked on the trading floor at Bank of America Headquarters, worked in the Back Office Server group at Microsoft, and started my own consulting company all before joining Ambit Energy, a MLM electricity and natural gas supply company.
What I learned from Ambit is that ONLY smart, capable, and driven people who know other smart, capable, and driven people will succeed in MLM.
The real problems I've had, which made me stop working at it, even after having some success and setting up a residual income, is all the people that claim to be driven, pay to sign up, never go as far to even open the welcome kit box, and get pissed off that checks didn't start magically showing up in the mail.
I really do believe that while most MLM are either complete bullshit, or too old to get in early enough, I know, from personal experience, that there is at least one exception. Even with that, I've yet to find a single person willing to simply ask a few people "Are you interested in making some more money?"
Another really big problem is that most smart, capable, and driven people catch a whiff of MLM and forget all their manners. People who have respected me for decades and made shittons of money off of me, my ideas, and my efforts over the years become complete cunts when they heard all of 3 seconds of this idea. | You've got it backwards. Smart, capable, and driven people are ideal for a (admittedly rare non-scam) MLM, but the millions of people that sign up are usually none of the above. They're looking to get rich quick, and the reality is that like anything else worth doing, it is a lot of hard work and it takes a long time. |
Northern64 | changemyview | t5_2w2s8 | cbhr7cd | You have asserted that the people who would not join an MLM, are those who are; smart, driven, and/or, well connected. And while you are likely correct that many smart, driven, and/or well connected individuals will likely avoid MLMs, your assertion fails to entertain a certain subset of individuals who exploit the structure of MLMs.
I am refering to those individuals who are aware that the company is an MLM and that the likely hood of actually making it big are slim to none, but they join because they are smart driven and well connected, and they use their intelligence as a point of leverage in exploiting their network of friends and family, which they acquired from being well connected, and they continue to do so because of their drive. It is a short term solution to a lack of money, and one that require there be no remorse for essentially stealing from your friends and family. but these people do exist and unfortunately in such a large number that MLMs can actually bank on there being enough of these individuals to help drive their profits higher. | smart, driven, well connected people can and do join MLMs because MLMs are scams that allow for the leveraging of those connections |
ghostmcspiritwolf | gaming | t5_2qh03 | cbi6w2j | though I enjoy jokes about the french as much as the next guy, and though I know you were just making a joke, I'd like to say something about this really quickly: a cursory glance at history will reveal that the French, with the exception of WWII, have had a proud and at times even dominant military tradition.
Nobody expected WWII to be offensive-dominant. Nobody expected the Maginot Line to break so easily. Nobody expected Germany to re-industrialize and re-militarize so quickly. the French simply had the bad luck of being the closest world power to Germany geographically.
were it not for the English Channel and the stellar record of the British navy and air force, England might have been taken just as quickly. Americans can quite easily point fingers, but that's rather easy when we had the luxury of 2 Massive oceans between us and our enemies, smaller, weaker neighbors, and the worlds largest industrial complex even in the midst of the great depression. | the French get their reputation for surrender from a single war, but have consistently been a major, successful military power since well before America existed. |
Mickyladd | Games | t5_2qhwp | cbk43gz | I will add a bit more info (albeit a personal touch)
I'm a father of two and I work so I don't have a great amount of time to play, which means little opportunity to grind for levels. But, and here is the important part for me, you get more EXP from doing quests than grinding mobs. Which I find great as I can get on, do A few quests and get a lot of exp rather than grind for three hours.
Not to mention all the class options, free companies, quests, ability to change class on the fly rather than a new character / go somewhere to change.
Plus, I'm paying £22 for the game, you get a 30 day free subscription with a new game too. So in reality, it will be 4 months roughly before (including three months paid sub of course) I will have paid the same price for a generic 10 hour action game that I would blast through ad be done with in a week. | Game is good and offers substantial value for money even if you buy, play the month and re sell or just never use.
Get it :)

aurry | TwoXChromosomes | t5_2r2jt | cbjz66c | Whoa whoa whoa. I'm sorry, but there is some misinformation here that I need to correct for all the people who are reading this post.
Saying that 23andMe is capable of screening someone's genome is an over over statement. The panel of genes, mutations, and SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) that are covered are very specific and don't even come close to providing a proper assessment of overall risk in most cases. I will get back to this in a second.
In the case of the BRCA 1 and 2 genes, 23andMe ONLY looks at the 3 common Ashkenazi Jewish mutations (185delAG, 5382incC, and 6174delT), NOT the whole gene. Therefore, if OP had a BRCA1 mutation that was not 185delAG or 5382incC, this would not be an appropriate test for her daughter or any other family members. Doing this test when there is a different mutation in the family could lead to the false belief that the individual is not at risk when they very well may have inherited the BRCA1 genetic mutation. The best course of action for her daughter (should she wish to get tested, as an adult), would be to bring a copy of OP's genetic result to a genetic counsellor and be tested for that very same mutation in a CLIA certified clinical lab. This is the only way for her to know if she is at an increased risk to develop breast and/or ovarian cancer.
Yes, 23andMe can be a fun test that can tell you fun things about your ancestry. In some cases, it even has the potential to uncover true, actionable information (eg. carrier status, testing BRCA1 or 2 positive). HOWEVER, most of the information you get from a commercial test such as this is not necessarily truly validated for the "health risks". I would recommend that some of these results be taken with a grain of salt. | If you have an actual family history of a genetic condition, 23andMe is probably not an appropriate test for you to understand your risks. See a genetic counsellor. Please.
OP, your boyfriend sounds wonderful and supportive and I wish you both the very best and a speedy recovery :) |
ConstitutionalDude | technology | t5_2qh16 | cbkcb0y | I'm distraught though.
On the one hand, I've worked in government and saw first-hand that 80% of the people are incompetent and most of the systems are 80% broken. Despite being in an area of government that involved testing new "systems", those systems generally failed to meet the functionality the government ordered. In summary, the US government is almost universally inept and staffed with people that really don't care about anything but getting home as soon as possible.
But it's been a few years.
Now, I'm reading about all these fancy spy systems and conspiracy theories. I have no doubt that it's possible the government could build and maintain such incredible spy systems, but how....when nearly everything the government (including the military) creates is usually 80-90% useless and 100-200% over-budget? I saw the Snowden slides showing all the systems talking to each other, but in my fairly recent and fairly deep experience, I think it's 99.9% likely that most of that shit doesn't work like it's supposed to. The government has shown over and over that it can't even build simple interfaces between systems. So, I just can't see an NSA guy sitting at a desk, entering an email address, and pulling up much of anything. 90% of the NSA's systems are likely not capable of doing the work those slides would like us to believe. No fucking way all those companies databases are interfacing easily (or at all) so some guy can pull up your browsing history. Most likely, it takes 20 people months to pull up a decent report about some email address owner's internet and phone activities.
Anyone who has worked with new government IT systems in the last 10 years can verify how incompetent the designers and the systems are. Obama might be right when he says these systems are being used to spy on normal Americans....because it probably requires so many resources to make these shitty systems do anything that there simply isn't enough manpower for Snowden to sit at his desk and pull up much of anything. | There is no way the US government is capable of building a system that interfaces all the data from all those companies' systems into a useable GUI. No fucking way. Is it possible? Of course. Is it possible for an organization as incompetent as the gov? No. Maybe some day though. |
McDrewbs | leagueoflegends | t5_2rfxx | cbker2q | Welcome to the world of journalism EVERYWHERE. When you "know" more than the average Joe on a subject, you'll always notice this trend from journalists, a mass amount of them don't do enough research into their subject (just look at the media's portrayal of what a "troll" is) and will get a lot of things wrong, but most people just don't know enough themselves to call them out on it.
Even the majority of "news" nowadays is scavenged from places like Reddit and so forth. | this level of "reporting" infected journalism long ago, nowadays it's much better to be controversial and wrong (Riot's pay to win) then it is to be agreeable and correct. This subreddit knows very well that drama is popular. |
well_golly | technology | t5_2qh16 | cblwmnl | What this comes down to is this:
Situation one:
The police can use stolen evidence in an investigation. If you steal a bunch of written transaction records and drugs and money from the crack house down the street, and hand it to the cops, the cops are allowed to use that as evidence. After all they didn't tell you to steal it.
Situation two:
However, the cops are not allowed to ask you (or order you) to steal for them. In such an instance, you are acting on at the behest of the cops, making them the thieves. The evidence is obtained illegally (without a warrant, and using theft), and the cops are in trouble (yeah, yeah, 2 weeks paid leave - but still, it is illegal).
This is a "Situation Two" scenario on steroids:
In what we are taking about, we see the government's snoop agencies compelling and/or asking (it matters not which one) private companies to do something that would violate your rights if the government did this themselves. The agencies are having private companies proactively perform this unconstitutional activity at their behest, and so the fact that it is filtered through a private company is just a thinly disguised shell game.
This is different from merely asking telcos:
Do you retain records of domestic emails? If so, then let us see PersonX's mail for the last 6 months! We have a warrant."
Instead they are saying:
" 'BCC:' us on all email all the time for everyone. We have no warrant, by the way (even if we did it wouldn't matter). We know you normally don't retain deleted mail for more than a week (or whatever your policy). Start secretly retaining it for months now. We know you keep mail encrypted so only your end users have a key to decrypt their mail (as some more secure services provide) - so build us a back door. ... (etc)" | The gov is making the Telcos, ISPs, etc, into government contractors and directly ordering them to violate the constitution. This violates the constitution. |
DrLamLam | relationships | t5_2qjvn | cblxnjw | There's nothing wrong with NOT arguing. My partner and I never raise our voices with each other or with the kids. Ever.
We still sometimes disagree, we still have our off days, we just ask for space and the other always understands and respects it. We're poly, so other relationships are relevant to our situation, and being so good at negotiating and resolving issues means we're kind of "spoiled" for other/future relationships. We have high standards of emotional maturity and communication skills now because it's clearly possible to manage things like even my PTSD, and the fact that the kids are his but not mine...
In our two year relationship, we've raised our voices at each other twice, both times while we were caring for a dying loved one 24/7 and in a massively stressful situation. | I think it's perfectly normal and okay to not argue, and in fact I think it's fabulous that your relationship is so amazing and you two mesh so well in communication skills and the like! |
Razvedka | technology | t5_2qh16 | cbnjf8e | It goes further than that. The FBI was alerted by the Russian FSB (successor of the KGB) what Tzarnaev was up to. See, a disproportionate amount of extremists get their training in Chechyna (which is a very Islamic region) and Tzar had been hanging around with some unsavory groups during his visit away from the US.
The FSB knew what was up and they alerted the FBI.
The FBI proceeded to put him on one of their lowest tier watch lists and apparently didn't bat an eye when he started buying pressure cookers. | you're absolutely right and look at how the surveillance state totally fucked up.
Further, it can be said that this is insanely ironic given that one of the chief reasons Russia doesn't just turn Chechyna into a parking lot is due to immense western pressure about 'civil rights'. The Russians are right there with us when it comes to dealing with insurgency and extremism, and we are helping to ensure that the training ground\meat grinder for all these nutjobs remains active- and it bit us in the ass. |
Razvedka | technology | t5_2qh16 | cbnmflt | I didn't imply that Russia should just level all of Chechyna, merely that a big reason they didn't go full out was due in part to how stern we were acting about the loss of innocent life and, in general, civil rights.
And then we turn around and do stuff like this to Snowden, indefinitely detain people for no reason, and convene secret courts and hand out gag orders. | we put up a big show about how 'evil' Russia was being and how they shouldn't be too hard on the Chechyans and it came back to smack us across the face. Given that it is THE training ground for islamic extremism.

Theemuts | politics | t5_2cneq | cbpp4as | Do you know this quote by Benjamin Franklin about freedom and security?
> “Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”
What it means, is that though surveillance has been increasing for years, for our so-called security, we are losing our freedom rapidly. News about police brutality is a daily occurence here on reddit, so clearly we are not any safer from a corrupt police force thanks to constant surveillance. Hell, things seem to be getting worse by the day. More cameras are just an expensive waste of money to give people a fake sense of security, while at the same moment the corrupt police acquires a means to keep you under better surveillance. This can and is used against you.
Also, you talk about it being a shame a police officer is still needed, but you haven't explained how increasing the surveillance of citizens leads to not needing police officers. To the contrary, you just said that it will help battle corruption in the force, does that mean you don't think that electronic surveillance will lead to not needing a police force after all? If it doesn't change corruption, and doesn't lead to actual security, why do we need more cameras?
Let me also ask you this: how can surveillance cameras help against police corruption in the first place, if the police are not the ones kept under surveillance? The reason Dutch cops wear them, is because context is often lost in videos that were made with a phone. By wearing a camera on their helmet which is always on, both sides of the story will be known, and not just the part where the police got angry or the arrestee turned violent.
Justice isn't just about catching and locking up as many people who broke any law. The US has the most prisoners in the world, but I don't think Americans are evil or criminal by their nature. The system used in the US is extremely flawed, and unless you start seeing how surveillance is used against, not for, you, I fear for the future of the average American. | total surveillance is both unwanted and unneeded, the Dutch plan has much more advantages than hanging cameras everywhere, because entire workdays are recorded, including audio, so no one can 'turn away' the camera when it might help the side (s)he supports. |
meanttolive | relationships | t5_2qjvn | cbpyeud | The issue with your response is that she DID say no. Even if she didn't verbally say no, the lack of a "no" != "yes". Consent must be specifically stated.
Obviously the comparison I'm about to make is unequal since there is no real comparison to rape, but imagine someone you know breaks into your house. You might have told this person in the past to not break into your house, or maybe you didn't say anything about it at all. Should you be faulted for having not said "don't break into my house" more often (never mind the fact that OP said "no" multiple times)? Should you be faulted for not saying anything ("so-and-so never told me not to break into their house...")? Of course not. People shouldn't break into other people's houses. | OP did say enough. |

It was nice to get started with him. | Malz- Mejay's soulstealer |

For the past few months, I've been doing a particular set of things when I play with myself that (to me) makes ejaculations feel much more powerful.
I've always known about the PC and BC muscles. The PC muscle is the muscle that both stops urine flow and also rhythmically contracts to "squirt" semen out, while the BC muscle is what pushes poop out and also "pushes" your urine stream out stronger. Squeezing on your PC makes it nearly impossible to push out with the BC and vice versa.
Once I came to fully understand that relationship, I wondered what would happen if you pushed on your BC muscle when your body wants to ejaculate. At first, it felt nearly impossible to control the BC when your body almost instinctively squeezes the PC during masturbation/intercourse.
Once I started to better control/detect the muscles, I tried to masturbate without putting any force on my PC and very lightly pushing out on my BC muscle. One thing that I noticed is that my erection got softer, but after enough stimulation, it would get just as hard as it would would be without the help of the PC muscle. During the whole masturbation session, I had a MASSIVE urge to squeeze on the PC, but I resisted.
The moment I started feeling the orgasm set in, the feeling was incredible. You can almost feel the prostate's sphincter loosen up and release the semen without the help of your PC muscle, which in turn gives you a strong "orgasmic" feeling deep in the core of your genitals which I can only describe as your body trying to increase the pleasure to a point in which a PC contraction is completely involuntary despite the resistance.
For the first 0.5"-1.5" seconds of your orgasm, you will get that orgasmic feeling as semen either dribbles or flows like urine out of your penis. After that, your body will FINALLY give you that squeeze you so violently crave at this point.
The first PC muscle squeeze feels INSANE. Most likely because its going from "no squeeze" to "full squeeze" vs the normal "moderate-high squeeze" to "full squeeze". Since your urethra is already filled with semen due to it flowing out just seconds before, the PC muscle not only squeezes out the existing semen, but also pushes out more from the prostate.
Have you ever ejaculated a large enough volume to feel the "weight" of your semen? That's how that first spurt feels. The subsequent ones are also quite powerful whether or not you already ejaculated all of your semen (based on how much your body produces and the last time you ejaculated, the first spurt may be the only one, but the rest of the contractions still feel very great)
The great thing about this is just how you feel after. There's a feeling of soreness that is internal, similar to the place all the pleasure is concentrated before the first contraction. Although I get a little sore immediately after ejaculation, this feeling is stronger than normal. I love urinating during that period because the feeling of urination is similar to what you feel when you massage sore muscles the day after a hard workout.
These orgasms have become so satisfying that I cant get enough. During the weekday, I masturbate 1 or 2 times before sleeping. On the weekends or days off from work, if I don't make plans, I can go about 3-6 times in day. Every session after the previous one leaves me with a good feeling soreness. On ejaculations 3-6, they come out almost dry; a small amount will shoot out VERY strongly (2-3 ft away) followed by many dry contractions. The feeling of urination after the 6th ejaculation is like angels coming from heaven to massage you in your urethra.
Sometimes I just lay in bed thinking how great it must feel if I can get myself off just one more time, but I am too exhausted to do so, and left sore till the middle of the next day.
Eventually I learned to masturbate normally and relax my PC muscle just before the point of no return, allowing me to have to same result more efficiently. Just typing this makes me want to masturbate.
This technique is only really possible for me when I masturbate. When I'm with my GF its hard to focus on those things since I'm so in the moment with her. But when I'm bored and horny, I know just how to treat myself till' the next time we have sex ;) | Once you get good enough at controlling it, relaxing your PC muscle (and gently pushing with your BC muscle) during your masturbation session can lead to a very pleasurable orgasm with semen flowing out of your penis followed by very strong ejaculations that leave you more sore and satisfied than a 'normal' orgasm |

transdermalcelebrity | TwoXChromosomes | t5_2r2jt | cd4lf68 | I guess you could say that it was a combination of chance, maturity = no facades, and being open to making friendships.
When we first moved to our town (10 yrs ago) we wanted to meet people so we found a group of something that we liked just getting started on meetup.com so we joined. Met several good (though not best) friends that way. A few years later some of the people we met from that group had a party and we went with our then very fussy newborn. At the party I started talking to this gal I hadn't met before and I realized we had amazing chemistry. But I was too busy being a mom to get to know her or exchange info.
Fast forward a couple of years. My husband works for a national lab. It's so large they have lunch clubs. One of them was started by our friends who threw the party. I went to one of their lunches with my husband and while there we met the gal from the party years before and her husband (they both worked at the lab).
We got on really well and had lots of chemistry and things in common (from work at the labs to having kids). She and I began emailing. It turns out that she and her husband are avid board gamers, and while it wasn't something we were pursing at the moment, it sounded like fun. They invited us to a couple of shindigs that they had (open gaming days at their house, even their anniversary party). And it just blossomed from there.
Then through her and her husband we met another couple. They weren't from the labs but they were big into gaming and they had kids. And we found out around the gaming table that we all had excellent chemistry and similar senses of humor. The key point was that we were all pretty honest and didn't put on Facebook personalities. We had just reached a point in our lives where we're trying to do well for our families and generally enjoy life. It's less about winning popularity contests or impressing people. I think it's easier to do this in your 30s + vs your 20s. | Find events you like, keep an open mind and attend even if you don't know anyone, try new things, and don't worry about putting up a facade. |
lescapegoat | leagueoflegends | t5_2rfxx | cbuebmg | Quick question.
That "may be cropped" business with the red border: How "may" is may? Is it always cropped? Usually? Sometimes? I used that Diana/Leona art that IronStylus posted not that long ago and since it's already halved, the edge of the image needed to lined up right with that red border. | Is it a guarantee Ill get just whats within the red border, or will I possibly get it "untrimmed"? |
cardboardcowboy | leagueoflegends | t5_2rfxx | cbx4f82 | So, how do you go about being a support main and enjoy it? I'm by no means a good support, but I'm working on it because I don't wanna be that guy in ranked that "can't support." However, as a dude that likes to play Top and ADC, I'm used to action and big numbers so I find myself getting pretty bored with zoning and warding.
Are there any champs you would recommend giving a try to maybe spark some interest in the role? I usually play Leona (5-1 in ranked so far) and do enjoy her all-in playstyle, but lately I've run into some pretty nasty, high damage poke supports that cut me down to half health before I even get a chance to land a zenith blade. I've played a couple fiddle games and liked it, but it feels like you need an ADC (and team) that is capable of taking advantage of your fears and reliably turning them into kills. | Can you recommend any supports to play in solo queue that might make me actually want to call support every now and then? |
crimsonmia | technology | t5_2qh16 | cbz72c1 | It seems we have an opportunity now that many of us carry computers in our pockets. Say I walk over to a CA's headquarters. I can QR scan their public key printed on the side of their building. Next time I see my friend Clara we can bump phones to transfer this trusted CA key. If your phone keeps track of this web of trust you should be able to find the mole if there's a discrepancy. I know the 'Web of trust' is an existing concept, how about piggybacking it on top of x509 like this for the best of both? | I really don't know what I'm talking about. |
Lugnut1206 | technology | t5_2qh16 | cbxetgm | Warning, incoming gi-fucking-gantic wall of text. Read it anyway.
Allow me to ELI5 what people seem to not be getting about all of this, and hopefully clear up some FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).
Imagine you have two really big numbers called keys, and they're mathematically linked. One is called a public key, and the other is called a private key.
Now imagine you have two algorithms, functions, sets of instructions for those two keys.
One, is the encryption/signing algorithm, hereafter ES.
The other is the decryption/verification algorithm, hereafter DV.
If you send data through ES with a public key, it becomes encrypted, and no one (not even the NSA, assuming the numbers are big enough) can read it. Seriously.
If you send data through ES with a private key, it becomes signed, proving that you (or the person controlling the private key) verified its accuracy.
If you send encrypted data through DV with a private key, you decrypt it back into legible plaintext.
If you send a signature through DV with a public key, it proves that the owner of the private key signed it.
Now, suppose a person named Clara takes Steve's public key, she can use ES to encrypt data so only he can decrypt it (using DV). Then, she can send said encrypted data through insecure mediums like her gossipy aunt Irene. All Irene knows is that encrypted gibberish is passing between them, not what the contents are.
Now here's the ploy, Clara's "friend" Eve wants to know what Clara's saying to Steve. She sets up a simple trick: She'll stand in the middle. She'll tell Clara (via Irene, who believes her to be Steve (false ID or something, I don't know how for this analogy)) that Steve's public key has changed, or perhaps some other kind of trickery that makes Clara accept the new key. The catch here is that it hasn't actually changed . Eve's made her own, and she tells Clara the new one, and then Clara starts using that new one. Clara sends messages encrypted using Eve's public key to Eve who takes these messages, runs DV, and then ES using Steve's real public key, and sends them on to him.
The whole while, Clara still thinks she's talking to Steve directly, and Steve thinks he's getting messages from Clara directly, and they have no way to verify otherwise.
Now lets imagine Clara and Steve are smart, and knew this might happen.
They ask their friend Andrew to help out. He makes his own set of keys, gives his public one to Clara, and the following goes down.
Clara asks Steve for his public key. Steve had, the other day, sent it to Andrew, who signed it with ES, verifying Steve's control/ownership. Steve sends it and the signature to Clara, who uses DV and Andrew's public key to verify that Steve actually has that key, because Andrew's private key signed it.
Andrew is a trusted third party, saying that yes, that public key belongs to Steve.
Now, if Eve wants to be a woMan in the Middle (MITM), she has to get Andrew to sign her key, but Andrew is loyal and won't do that.
Unfortunately, Eve has some dirt on Andrew: He's been sleeping around/stealing/doing something illegal or immoral! If word of that got out he'd be doomed. So what's he do? He signs Eve's public key OR gives her his private key. The same as above happens, Eve is in the middle, Clara and Steve are none the wiser.
If, by any chance, you got this far after that mess, here's the key:
Cl ara and S teve are the Cl ient and the S erver.
I rene is the I nternet, insecure and compromised, every byte travelling its wires and networks overheard.
Eve is the E a ve sdropper, the NSA.
A ndrew is the Certificate A uthority, trusted, but probably compromised.
It really is that simple. If the NSA has the Certificate Authorities private key, they can make fake certificates (public keys) and sign them (ES) all day long, send them all around, and no one would be any bit the wiser.
It's a trust system, assuming that Andrew is not compromised. If he is (he almost certainly is) and they bothered to run some simple software that runs on hardware as simple as that in mobile phones (meaning it's easy stuff, you don't need supercomputers to do it and if you happen to have supercomputers on hand, this is just a trivial, spare dealio to run in the background) then you can bet your ass all of HTTPS is compromised and is totally useless.
EDIT: [Confirmed, it's happened once. No reason to believe that it won't or can't or hasn't happened again behind closed doors with others.](
I'm not joking.
Any questions, comments? Did I miss something important?
EDIT: this is assuming a targeted attack. If you're only under passive surveillance you're probably fine. The moment you go on a list though, and you become watched... consider your security gone. | Clara and Steve think they're talking to each other but it's actually Eve, and Andrew's probably being blackmailed.

angry-bird | technology | t5_2qh16 | cbxg6ec | i'm not putting pedantry aside. i don't know if you're being vague because you really don't know wtf you're talking about, or if you're just confusing technologies and are hoping that something between mock-british and completely-fucking-ambiguous language makes you sound like you know something special. you sound like you're reaching. good luck with that. my post is 100% accurate, so if you would like to disagree then i need you to talk like a big boy and make some god damn sense.
sure, you can run mitm on an ap with some specific tricks but it's nothing like you or the person i replied to describe. not at all. capturing images here and there that are in-flight is a far cry from a screen cap, and is nothing special. | you're absolutely wrong. don't waste my time. |
blackfire932 | technology | t5_2qh16 | cbxkjc2 | All Isp's are the man in the middle, they route your traffic and establish your connection, they know what port your connecting on and where, if they wanted to they could establish your attempt to connect to your bank to a fake bank website and you would never know.
Any tcp traffic, but specifically ssl traffic requires an establishment of session via handshake. To negotiate a start, you say hey i want mybank.com on port 443(ssl traffic) to your router, it sends out the request to every router along the way until reaching the mybank.com web server. There are many of these and for some ISPs they may have your traffic/request within their network for quite some time(looking at you att) but eventually it will typically exit their network and move on to another network and so on until hitting the mybank.com server. This is like making a phone call to the operator, to call a switchboard to get a secretary or dial an extension and get the person you are looking for. Now instead of an operator pretend there is a computer doing that job, and it saves everything, to check for errors and reference if need be, however most of this is disposed off frequently as these log files would be tremendously large.
With ssl connections after the confirmation you reached where you were going has been given, encryption(this is complex using symmetric and asymmetric keys to establish a session with multiple layers for reading see SSL/tls occurs your information is hidden from those who may be watching. However network access is king, hardware level access gives you the ease of saying well any requests for mybank.com on 443 connect to nsasnoops.com on w/e the want(it doesn't have to be 443 but it can be), they then make a connection to mybank.com on 443 for you and you are none the wiser. There are protections against this but again hardware level access means these protections can be overcome.
This is like handing your letter off to the post man and hoping it gets to end unopened. Now it doesn't happen because there are laws in place to prevent it. But if you are the lawmaker and want to see it, if you know where they live(in this example you can not drop it off just anywhere unless you want to rely on public hotspots for internet your whole life and then yay for anonymity)you sit on their zip code's post office and when
the mail is sorted they find you, read the contents and send it on its way.
Hey let's go further lets say the lawmakers decide hey they can even intercept the post man because it's easier. Or worse if they wanted, why not read all of it, don't take a chance that the bad guy is "somewhere out there" take the one's with checks and money and personal information because A they need money to fund their operation and B they want to know you are you so they can cross you off the list as "not that bad guy" so you are just the "not a bad guy" list, but they need to keep this list that way if you become a "bad guy" they have all the information on you.
Same with the internet and your ISP, your postman is the box that your ISP calls a modem. If they wanted to they can watch that. Protecting yourself from this would take some tricky work but it is possible(ssh server connect on no standard ports) although your just hoping they don't take drastic measures, like a U.S.A "firewall", like the one you hear about in China, I hope I never see that day in my lifetime or decide they need to see it all.
This is all to stop "criminals" well how many of you have broken ANY law, even ones you do not care for like the speed limit or littering or jay walking. Well then you are a criminal, not a felon but still a law breaker, if they continue to expand the scope to what "threatens" america, well that's just a matter of degree and you better hope you don't fall into that category. Because there have often been those of power who commited terrible acts in the defense of "they threatened the (mother/father/home)land" just ask europe about individuals who have done them and just ask native americans of whole governments who have done them. | Don't be afraid they government just wants to check and make sure you are not doing anything illegal, just on the internet right? Besides your not a bad guy right? Your sure right? Nothing wrong or illegal on the whole of formerly anonymous space of the internet right? |

However regardless of the word used, common society always takes these words and uses them incorrectly and disparagingly as insults.

Zurria | relationship_advice | t5_2r0cn | cc0f6er | It often stems from issues more than simply a bad childhood. When I left my first abusive relationship at 15, I read everything I could on the psychological explanations of abuse afterward. I encountered another abusive person at 21, but got out very early on and went through no emotional trauma this time around. It's incredibly complex, and if she has any interest in psychology, I'd highly suggest it. It's not an approach that most people take, but an alternative to the usual "go seek counseling" advice.
There's so much I wish I could explain to her, and people like her, that have been on the receiving end of sexual assault/rape. I'm a survivor myself, and what she's feeling is sadly not uncommon, and it's important to realize this and how absolutely unfair and undeserved it is. I could go into more detail as to what helped me, but it's all simply anecdotal and I have no idea if it could have the same effect on her. I just took a look at the RAINN link, and there are some very detailed links there that I'd highly suggest. It even touches on self-harm, which you mentioned. Take a look and judge for yourself what may help her.
As for the sex positive movement, many people have been introduced to it by people like Laci Green. I don't have any links prepared, but after searching for something that may help, I came across [this.](
It was immensely helpful when I realized the correlation between society dictating how valuable a woman is based off of how many partners she's had and the shame and blame some women unfortunately feel after sexual assault. Understanding and identifying victim blaming may also help. I can't imagine how difficult it is for woman who doesn't understand how absolutely insane it is that society generally scrutinizes a survivor's actions more than the attacker's. Understanding why this happens as well is equally as important.
I apologize for the huge novel I just wrote lol, but I hope something here helps her, even a little. I'm open to PM's as well. | read up on the psychological explanation of abuse, read the RAINN links under the "get info" tab, and hear what the sex positive movement has to say on society's negative view on women and sex and the correlation between that and the shame felt after a sexual assault. |
captain_craptain | politics | t5_2cneq | cc0ppzn | I think you are better off, food-safety wise, getting it directly from the source. The guy who really knows what he is doing when it comes to growing food as opposed to letting it go through the system which is ultimately a factory sorting system of packaging and shipping to more mainstream markets like major grocery chains.
I think there is a lot more room for error, or mishandling when you involve transportation and large companies with armies of workers (a lot of whom may not care about standards) rather than someone literally driving to the farm to buy direct.
I can't fathom why some people don't understand that other people just want to live their lives without the government checking up on everything they do at every turn and allowing them to dictate what is and what is not something you should be doing (to a certain degree within reason....). I find this viewpoint very weakminded and defeatist. After all, life is a dangerous thing, you can't prepare for every risk and if you try you will miss out on just enjoying life.
The regulators can eff off IMHO when it comes to buying direct, they are only needed to oversee the large operations where things can get lax quickly. | We don't need regulators between us and the farmers if we want to buy direct, its totally silly. If you are that worried about it...don't do it or just cook your food thoroughly.
Edit- Judging by the 10 downvotes, there are at least 10 people who read this and want the Govt to run their lives, make their decisions and generally treat them like a child. Why not just off yourself if you are going to give up like that?... |
Hiddencamper | worldnews | t5_2qh13 | cc1h2ha | I'm not as familiar with SiC. I know some people on the nuclear engineering forum at physicsforums.com are though.
Looking through stuff that's readily available it does not look like the fuel would have withstood an extended loss of feedwater scenario like what occurred at Fukushima, but it may not have had the same level of hydrogen generation (I'm not familiar with the fuel properties though so don't quote me).

fnredditacct | sex | t5_2qh3p | cc1h9vo | It seems like she is uncomfortable with the thought of giving a blow job.
I understand your approach of fairness, and your frustration with the same old same old. But this is not the same thing as divvying up an unwanted chore list. It's not like you are asking her to take out the trash, which she might feel is unpleasant, but when it is done it's done.
This is her body, which she will live in every moment after, until she doesn't. If she is not ready to open her body up in this way yet, then she isn't ready. Any number of things could be the cause of this.
For me (27f married, sexually active since 13) this is what it has been like:
In order to NOT HAVE any experience in which I "gave myself" to another person, I had to fully possess my body, each and every part of it. Then, in experiencing my body with another person it was "with." I wasn't retreating inward and allowing them in. I was fully present there with them.
This might sound hokey and stupid, but it's not.
If she is not comfortable with blow jobs, or new positions, then those things, right now, maybe always, are not things she can do comfortably. Even if it is "fair" the only way she could do it would be to pull back into a comfort zone while you are there.
If you want to prove me wrong here, have someone put their finger up your ass, or in your mouth when you are not ready. See if you don't retreat inwards and abandon the area.
If you love her, and it's okay if you don't, then you can talk to her about this, give her space to try to explain to you why she is uncomfortable, and if she wants to try to become comfortable. Then there is maybe somewhere to go, slowly, and without pressure.
If you are mostly just looking for new sexual experiences, which is also okay, then you'd be much better off with another of similar desires, comfort and interest. | Fairness" isn't really that relevant, physical comfort and sexuality don't work that way, my experience with that, recommend either giving her time/space to explain her discomfort and work slowly, or find someone else who is also looking for new sexual experiences. |
rainman_104 | politics | t5_2cneq | cc1vbpy | For children who come from poorer backgrounds, yes. It's amazing the confidence a child has when they do well in school, and it's amazing what a toll it has on them when they do poorly.
In Kindergarten, a teacher gets a variety of backgrounds. Some kids can read chapter books; some kids can't wipe their own ass.
Now impoverished kids are more likely to be in the latter group. They fall behind and may never, ever catch up. | Give the smart kids from dumb families a chance to shine, and they may just shine. |

Then the Assad regime decides to sell off the country's wheat stockpiles on the export market. The next year, there's literally not enough food to go around as a result.
When protests start as a result, Bashar Assad tried to brutally suppress them, just as his father did in the 80s. Violence escalates from there.
so | Syria was already on its way to collapse thanks to mismanagement and corruption within the current government. |
indieclutch | Games | t5_2qhwp | cc5lw0s | I should rephrase perhaps. I played all Mass Effect games and overall I think the story was out of order between 1 and 2. Which would ultimately affect the story of 3. I think a lot of the problem with 3 was that they wanted Shepard's story to end, which is good and what I expected. However they focused so much on the definitive end they made it so plot points matter next to nothing except whether you did it paragon/renegade.
There was potential for 3 different endings (possibly more) based on your actions. Shep can die in all of them or live depending on your actions during each ending, ala ME2. This also takes into account the reapers were almost bested by the Protheans and that even though they are of great intelligence and strength they somehow did not see the next cycle coming to fruition as fast as it did and as a result were not completely ready.
You gather the combined might of the galaxy and through conquest defeat most of the reapers.
You gather the necessary parts for the Prothean device and stop the reapers once and for all.

CriminallySane | changemyview | t5_2w2s8 | cc68oob | This is a passage from one of the best books I've read, and I think it's appropriate here:
> Good Form
>It's time to be blunt.
>I'm forty-three years old, true, and I'm a writer now, and a long time ago I walked through Quang Ngai Province as a foot soldier.
>Almost everything else is invented.
>But it's not a game. It's a form. Right here, now, as I invent myself, I'm thinking of all I want to tell you about why this book is written as it is. For instance, I want to tell you this: twenty years ago I watched a man die on a trail near the village of My Khe. I did not kill him. But I was present you see, and my presence was guilt enough. I remember his face, which was not a pretty face, because his jaw was in his throat, and I remember feeling the burden of responsibility and grief. I blamed myself. And rightly so, because I was present.
>But listen. Even that story is made up.
>I want you to feel what I felt. I want you to know why story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth.
>Here is the happening-truth. I was once a soldier. There were many bodies, real bodies with real faces, but I was young then and I was afraid to look. And now, twenty years later, I'm left with faceless responsibility and faceless grief.
>Here is the story-truth. He was a slim, , almost dainty young man of about twenty. He lay in the center of a red clay trail near the village of My Khe. His jaw was in his throat. His one eye was shut, the other eye was a star-shaped hole. I killed him.
>What stories can do, I guess, is make things present.
>I can look at things I never looked at. I can attach faces to grief and love and pity and God. I can be brave. I can make myself feel again.
>"Daddy, tell the truth," Kathleen can say, "did you ever kill anybody?" And I can say, honestly, "Of course not."
>Or I can say, honestly, "Yes."
> - Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried
Fiction is not about getting to the simple truth of events. The events don't matter. If you just want to know what happened, the sources you mentioned are perfectly sufficient. Fiction is about getting to the heart of things. Fiction is about telling you why things happen. In the best fiction, you see the world--or invented world--from the eyes of the author and the characters. This can't really happen in non-fiction. Nonfiction deals with fact, or the best idea of fact, as far as we can see. The subjective is an enemy of nonfiction, and every time subjective things are mentioned, fiction begins to mingle with that nonfiction. You cannot see inside another's mind simply by looking at fact. | Nonfiction can tell you that, during the Vietnam War, young men were drafted to fight and kill. Fiction can let you feel what it is like to be a young man, drafted to fight and kill during the Vietnam War. |
Parzival2 | changemyview | t5_2w2s8 | cc6ao6d | It sounds like (and please bear in mind I have never met you and may completely have missed the mark) you developed this idea of yourself, as a person who relies entirely on logic and reason, above most emotions. I felt that way for a long time, and eventually talked to a therapist about it, among other things.
He was very keen to stress that the human brain is a fucking mess. People tend to have constant conflicting emotions, thoughts and desires. Most often if you find yourself unable to understand or empathise it's not because you lack something. For me I thought I was unable to appreciate poetry or music because I was the wrong sort of person, I was a mathematician, but just talking to other people about their passions has certainly opened doors in my understanding.
I can draw lots of parallels, the satisfaction of finishing an intricately crafted story, which ties together plot points and themes, is exactly how I feel about solving complex algebra. | I don't think his analysis is right, the same thing that drives you to spend time on science is the same thing that drives others to art, they're not two different skills. |

OnlyRengar | leagueoflegends | t5_2rfxx | ccaiin0 | Before you judge my comment, Ninfang is a great buddy of mine and I respect everything he does and how he plays Rengar.
But this play has nothing special to it. He takes his jungler's red which gives him a crazy advantage (insta level 2, rengars prime cheese moment) and on top of that starts with a red pot. A fiddle running into a brush where Rengar is located isn't going to be pretty business. The fiddle wasn't even ranked in Soloq and the graves was diamond 1 (5 points). After the fiddle feeds him first blood it was going to be an easy clean up on the graves since he had red to chase him out.
Once you get that big of an advantage on someone with Rengar there is no hope for you. Pretty much sums this game up as the rest was just fiddle having no clue how to play against rengar and Ninfang just being way better than him. | Ninfang stomping nonranked supports isn't something that should be front page =P |

I understand how it seems like money and connections to material goods is just about the greatest thing ever, but honestly, at the cost you'r asking for, fuck that. I don't want it.

Just as you say -- it's not actually a challenge to become another spineless leech at the top of the money-making game who games himself into a position that in the end is hallow and pathetic and nothing to be proud of.

tidderwork | technology | t5_2qh16 | ccgrcan | they haven't oversubscribed their towers yet like ISPs and 3G have.
You had me up to here. Nobody can make this claim. The nature of wireless networks is that the load, and congestion, move around and can saturate a cell at any given time. Not only that, users often notice the consistent differences in LTE speed depending on location (work, home, downtown, etc.). For instance, my LTE service is pretty poor in my living room, but blazing fast at the office, despite strong signal strength at both locations.
The reason for that is obvious: the cell site's backhaul speed is divided between all the connected wireless devices. In the best of situations, the cell site's backhual is a dedicated fiber connection to the nearest VZW switch. Even at an unlikely backhual linkspeed of 10GBPS, the site could only support about 30 LTE users at once before link contention becomes an issue. The vast majority of cell sites have a backhaul link speed of 1GBPS or less.
Cell sites are often miles apart and have hundreds or thousands of connected devices. Each cell site would require many tens of gigabits per second to satisfy a 1:1 resource-to-customer subscription ratio for LTE service. That doesn't even begin to consider the dynamic movements of network congestion, cycling usage patterns, customer churn, or network growth.
I also worked at VZW in the wireless data department for a few years. | everything is oversubscribed to some degree |
snow666 | technology | t5_2qh16 | ccgtqgr | I actually do something different now.
Every two years, I'm eligible for an iPhone.
Every once a year, I'm elgible for any phone except the iPhone. This can only be done through retention department.
So what you want to do is sign a two year contract with AT&T for an iPhone 5S. Then you sell that phone for $800-$900 on eBay or Amazon.com. Immediately call AT&T CS and transfer your line from a Smart phone to a Basic phone because you're not using any data.
A year later, call AT&T and have them transfer you to Retention Department. They will keep you as an AT&T Wireless customer and offer an "Early Upgrade" to any phone that is available on AT&T except Apple iPhones. I accepted their offer and pre-ordered the S4 Active and flipped it for $600-$700. I even got a $100 credit and a $35 activation fee waived and a 50% off for new wireless customers when you buy a AT&T phone.
From there, you can either keep the phone or flip it online/craigslist. Then procede to transfer your line from a Smart phone to a Basic phone. | I don't know what this means )....

kawaiigardiner | technology | t5_2qh16 | ccguikm | Mate, all I can say is welcome to what the rest of the world has to deal with along side capped internet connections. Btw, if you think it is bad we have Vodafone NZ have the cheek of not only having data caps but also charge an extra NZ$10 per month if you want your phone to get onto their (be it very limited) LTE network. Btw, this is only a shock to Americans because you've been living on an unsustainable model and carriers have now finally realised that assuming data growth remains the same their network will be swamped - heck, there are situations from what I've heard with the existing infrastructure where cell towers are overwhelmed to the point that people can't even make phone calls. Then again this goes back to the original problem with the US model of differentiating between tethering vs. data originating from the phones or promising unlimited data on the basis that the limited avenues of use off a smart phone would mean that the data will never be high enough to cause problems but technology has allowed more which has undermined their original models assumption. | People are only up in arms about this because they've been used to flat rate for so long and now LTE introduces data caps - there would be no outrage if there was data caps from day one like most other countries. |

section8atl | technology | t5_2qh16 | ccgwc27 | Actually I think the reason they stopped offering unlimited data was because the general population stopped using phones primarily for making calls, which meant Verizon was losing a ton of money because a lot less people were not going over their allowed talk minutes anymore. That's why the same time they stopped offering unlimited data, they started offering unlimited calling plans.
When the first Android phones came to Verizon, it was actually a requirement to have an unlimited data plan if you wanted an Android (I think Blackberries also required an unlimited data plan as well.) | Verizon is greedy |

fluffyphysics | changemyview | t5_2w2s8 | ccj4kmv | Fundamentally, Science is simply the pursuit of knowledge.
> Science, as it is today, has the belief, or the faith, that the universe has 1) rules 2) which can be observed by humans.
Lets replace that with "scientists" first, nitpicking over. We definitely believe that there are some rules that exist and can be observed and understood and this is only believed because we have seen this time and time again, in repeatable ways. To say this is true for all aspects of the universe is completely unfounded. There are many question we de not know the answer to and probably never will, such as what came before the big bang. To this end "human perfection in understanding" is almost certainly not achievable, we can only get closer.
As /u/Bhorzo said many people, actually the majority of people do not have an understanding of science and have to believe what is said purely on faith. Yes many think science offers a way out of all of our problems, sometime true, often not. In this sense you are correct.
The answers that have been found out by science would be found out again by a different species on a different planet in a different part of the universe. Probably in a different order and definitely with different names, but in the end the answers would be the same. This cannot even be said for religions on different continents.
Scientists do not absolutely believe in anything we can state exactly what our assumptions are for any known fact. these assumptions can always be challenged. Science is also useful and has undeniably increased our understanding of the universe, evidenced by the level to which we can now control the world around us. | Science and religion both have faithful followers that know nothing about them and believe in them absolutely, this they share. beyond this they differ hugely in how they operate. |

CaptainMcFisticuffs | AskWomen | t5_2rxrw | cclnbck | I have one roommate, and I have to say, she's absolutely amazing. I met her at new student orientation, and at the end of the second day asked if she wanted to request each other to be roommates. She said yes, and thankfully they honored our request.
We kept in touch a little bit of the summer, and I think that really helped set up the dynamic for what we would be like. From the start we were honest and open, communicating well and listening to each other. We ended up being extremely similar in personalities, both very sarcastic, kind of private, not so much into partying though we love to have some good times with friends. We also push each other when we need it, like when I'm being lazy but have to get some work done she'll say something like "why don't we go get food once you finish your work." And that's another thing, we do almost everything together. We'll plan when we can sneak in meals together despite our opposite schedules, have movie nights when we're both free and just want to hang out, go for walks/shop around the area, just do things to get used to being around each other so we can learn how to read each other.
As for privacy, we set up the room so that at night our dressers block our view of each other when sit at the head of our beds respectively. Not that we don't want to not see/talk to each other, but it helps not feel like we're too open/constantly in sight of each other. Also, we got incredibly lucky to have a big, beautiful room with nice closets, so if we want to change we just step behind the door real quick and change. It's really not a big deal, just a respect thing. We just recognize the fact that we each need our space, stay on our respective sides of the room, and mind our own business when necessary.
The only challenge was her boyfriend, which ended up not being an issue at all. Both of them are extremely kind and considerate, and also don't want to me to feel uncomfortable. So when she wants him to come visit she'll mention it, ask if it's ok, and it almost always is. In fact I've even asked her to invite him down because he's just like having any other friend in the room. I should add though that my house has a guest policy, so he's only allowed to stay three nights a month, consecutive or otherwise. | Basically my advise to you is to not worry or stress about it. If you are able to be relaxed and open, it'll make your roommate feel the same way. I emphasize good communication, it's pretty much key. If any problem arises, just talk it out respectfully and politely right away. Put yourself in her shoes from time to time, and consider if what your doing would make you uncomfortable if she was doing it to you. Just try to establish the best kind of friendship you can, and work with it. Don't be afraid to take time for yourself, and scout out places you can go to if you feel like you need to be alone. Keep in mind that if you take care of yourself first, it will usually balance out with her taking care of herself too. You're both adults now, living alone but together. It's crazy awesome fun, but a responsibility too. It'll be great, don't worry :) best of luck
Edit: just a couple things I wanted to add, 1) with both of us starting a new life away from home and learning how to make friends, we just naturally established the idea that we'd share friends. Anytime we meet someone new, we try to introduce them and include each other in the new circle. 2) I am a very private person and was suuuper nervous about living with someone. I don't have any sisters, have never shared a room, and am more of a quality over quantity type person when it comes to building relationships with other people. So I feel like I got so, so lucky with this girl. We clicked just right and feel very naturally comfortable with each other. But sometimes, it doesn't always work out that way. Please don't ever feel shy about getting your dorm advisor involved if need be. Some of my other friends have struggled with their roommates being overly or anti-social, too nosey or too unconcerned, or just not at all compatible. These things can be fixed. Give it time to see if you can work things out once you two get to know each other, but if it just can't be, then make the changes/compromises that need to be made. Don't be a doormat. |
iatemysocks | sex | t5_2qh3p | ccltflz | Handjobs give more direct pressure which can get a dude to orgasm quicker. So if I'm trying to give a really quick blowjob because we have a time constraint of some sort, it'll involve a lot of hands, and no complaints here about that.

He's dated within his age group before, perhaps acts completely normally around younger family friends and cousins? You have a whole heap of information about him that these pedo-hunting redditors don't.
Be level about it. Yes he has this interest, but you've accepted him and would even like to marry him. Just address the fact that you know about it and are uncomfortable with it. Assure him you still love him and trust that this doesn't define him as a person. It's just a small aspect of his personal life that concerns you.
Get him to talk about it, judgement free. You can turn this into a positive thing- transform it from young girls to a domm/sub thing that you can participate in. There's a healthy way out of it, and it could be a fleeting phase. I DON'T think that getting him to a therapist would help (not at this point at least). Treating him like a mental patient would likely offend him deeply and force him to acknowledge it on a level that is probably much greater than it actually is on his mind. | I doesn't sound like he's found "real" CP. I don't think you should institutionalize him. Address it in neutral terms with the goals of letting him explain why he likes it, asking him to stop looking it up, and offering healthy alternatives.
EDIT: anyone who's downvoting me care to criticize what i'm saying? As easy as it is to vilify and jump to conclusions, the case is most likely that he will never act on it, he's defensive about it because of how quickly people jump to the conclusions, and therefore denies it altogether. This is something OP can definitely fix on her own with him. A therapist would only be appropriate if it persisted beyond her request for him to stop. All we know is that he looked at pictures of preteens in underwear from some websites. Pretty sure those sites would be taken down if it were strictly illegal. As far as I know, the only way to find legitimate CP that puts people in jail is through TOR and other encrypted methods. And if he knew how to do that, I'm pretty sure he'd know about clearing search history...
Again OP, I don't think this is a disaster situation. If he loves you and the relationship means something to him, he will drop the habit like the miniscule thing it probably is to him. |

HannahElaineW | AskWomen | t5_2rxrw | ccpud0z | I think it may have more to do with your size. My boyfriend is white, 6'8'', and 3 something pounds and this happens to him as well. My suggestion and I don't know if this would even work but, I think your outfit would make a big difference, if you were to dress really nice and put together. Not to be offensive just most guys tend to throw on whatever doesn't smell as much as the others. If I was by myself at night in the city and saw a male of any race wearing a polo and dress pants or something, I'd feel a lot more comfortable than if I were to see a man with his pants saggin' and a backwards cap or I don't know. | try and dress nice. |
pooncartercash | AskWomen | t5_2rxrw | ccpuz80 | This has been said a lot, but as women we have to be cautious around everyone.
But to try to offer something constructive, I think apparel has a huge influence on how I perceive people. If I saw a 300+ pound black man walking down the street dressed in a nice suit or looking like a businessman, I would probably barely notice him, or if I did notice him I'd probably be judging him positively ("dang, he looks good in that suit"). If I saw a big black guy (or small black guy, or Latino or white guy, or anybody really) dressed in baggy "thug" or "gangster" clothes, I would definitely feel really cautious and maybe even scared. I have purposefully crossed the street to avoid walking by men in baggy clothes before, especially if they are big or in a group.
The nicer you dress the less scary you will seem to me. Eventually it will reach a point where you become completely non-threatening no matter what your skin color or body type is if you dress nice enough. | I'm classist I guess.

2jzge | nfl | t5_2qmg3 | ccqser5 | Yeah, it was coming down to the state legislator voting on eminent domain on the franchise. That was the reason for moving over night. However, why was the state voting on taking control of the team?
Irsay became very tight with the team budget. Due to mismanagement of the team Baltimore went through six straight losing seasons from '78-'83. Irsay blamed the city run stadium for not bringing in enough revenue to pay for the players. Both of these are true. Irsay had a small wallet, and a alcoholic's view on managing a team, while Memorial stadium was a POS (even in the '80s). The city was faced with tons of issues in the '80s so finding budget for a team was not on the top of everyone's list, not saying it shouldn't have been since it definitely makes lots of money for the city in general.
So Irsay went shopping for a new city, with his franchise. He got a kickass offer from Indy. Baltimore matched that offer. Then the State Senate passed the eminent domain bill. So Irsay went on a pilgrimage on the Mayflower.
source: | It was an ugly ugly divorce.
But had that not happened Baltimore would not have won a USFL, or Grey Cup (CFL) Championship. Thus becoming the only city to Have all four major (excluding the XFL, and Arena League) football championships. Also becoming the only USA city to have a Grey Cup. |
PoonAU | leagueoflegends | t5_2rfxx | ccqx62c | Sigh.. not sure why Fizz should be nerfed out of the big 4 assasins. He is the only one that CANNOT farm from ranged. His ranged abilities when used to farm put him into melee range of creeps, so that cannot be used as a counter argument to the fact that fizz cannot farm from ranged.
The same thing that happened to Twisted Fate is going to happen to fizz. Like Twisted Fate, there are many counters to Fizz. Ever tried playing against a Malzahar as fizz? RIP. Diana does extremely well against fizz too. The only thing is, rarely are these champions picked against fizz. just like Twisted Fates counters at his time of greatness, no one thought to counter pick TF and then he got nerfed, and to top that off the sudden rise of his 2 worst nightmares, fizz and ahri have completely ruled him out of competitive play. | Fizz is strong but I don't believe he needs to be nerfed. the same shit that happened to TF will happen to Fizz. he has counters, no one picks them, thus according to everyone, the only way to deal with him is to nerf. |
chaosmech | leagueoflegends | t5_2rfxx | ccqxcpk | You just said good and bad players play Champion A. So the second factor is dead even. 1/1.
This is a false assumption. You're assuming equal numbers of good and bad players play Champion A, which is not something you can assume, especially given that most of the playerbase is not what you would call "good". Particularly on higher skillfloor champions like Zed.
The second problem is that certain champions (like Zed) have higher skillcaps to go with their higher skillfloor (aka learning curve), so really pro players can do amazing things with them. Cool, so far, so good. However, the bad players see the good players doing awesome things and think they can do that as well. Then they lose.
So a champion can be really good and still garner lower winrates because said champion is only good in the hands of someone with skill, and there are vastly more people without skill than people with skill.
For a clear math example, let's break from reality for a second here and say that I'm Diamond 1 and thus considered a "good" player. For every diamond player there are at least 10 bronze-silver noobs who will play the same champion, particularly if said champion is considered "OP" because their kit is strong. So unless I'm playing the same number of games as 10 bronze/silver noobs (which would probably necessitate playing nearly 10 times the amount of games I would normally), odds are good that the bronze/silver noobs will bring the winrate of that champion down.
And that's assuming I win every game, which I most likely won't. | there are way more bad players than good players, and "OP" champions attract unfamiliar bad players more than champs that are not "OP" (for example nobody's going to seriously first-try Heimerdinger to try and counter their lane opponent; they would conceivably try Zed/Ahri/Fizz etc.) This can bring down the winrate of strong champions because more bad players are losing than good players are winning. |

HamBiscuit | politics | t5_2cneq | cct44l2 | don't you think that disappearance of the middle class is because of the globalization of the labour pool which has reduced middle class wages? I'm also curious if you think anything can be done about this.
I definitely think that globalization, specifically free trade, is the reason that the middle class has disappeared. In fact, I believe Free Trade, our sorely compromised tax code and government corruption are the reasons behind the vast majority of fiscal and economic problems, the linchpins if you will. It took us 30+ years to get to this point and we won't get out of it quickly. However, it is a solvable problem and can be fixed with major political, socio-economic and fiscal reform.
The first step requires voting against Conservative politicians into the foreseeable future since they persistently resist the very reforms this country desperately needs. However, I would caution people to be very careful because the business community loves to run corporate shills as "Democrats" too.
Once the federal and state governments have been cleaned out, the second step requires economic reform. Unfortunately, Free Trade was designed to allow multinational corporations to move their operations overseas while still reaping all of the benefits if the U.S. market. This has to end because it allows the corporate sector to reap all of the benefits of this country without having to contribute to it in any meaningful way. It also allows U.S. trading partners to do the same thing. Does this mean the country has to kill trade completely? Absolutely not! It simply means that the U.S. has to restore all of the trade protections which U.S. trading partners never abandoned. It also means that the country must consider renegotiating or abandoning every trade agreement that is not mutually beneficial. NAFTA is a perfect example. As it stands, much of the investment that could be coming to the U.S., instead goes to Mexico because goods can be shipped across the border without any restrictions whatsoever. I have no problem with companies who want to invest in or trade with Mexico, but it is not in this country's best interest to maintain unfettered access between the countries. One merely needs to look at how our trade deficit exploded with Mexico shortly after NAFTA passed to understand why. The same holds true with the U.S.-China trade deficit.
In addition to trade reform, the country sorely needs to restore the progressive nature of the nation's tax code. If the trade extortion racket is fixed, corporations will no longer be able to threaten to move their operations overseas to escape paying their fair share of taxes because they would have to forgo the U.S. market and those profits to do so.
This brings me to labor reform. Over the past 30 years, corporations have successfully marginalized and demonized unions and collective bargaining rights. As a result, American workers have lost the ability to bargain for better working conditions and fair pay for the work they do. Collective bargaining rights and unions must be restored in the private sector. Part of labor reform should include a cap on earnings at the top and a true family living wage at the bottom. The days of subsidizing any company's labor costs with government welfare must end (e.g., fast food industry and Walmart are such examples). Part of this effort requires expanding employment protections to temporary and contract worker designations which employers use to circumvent fair on pay and benefits to workers.
As you can see, the business community has been VERY busy undermining the economic interests of most Americans in the country, but take heart in knowing this is not an insurmountable task. If people get lost on what to do, merely remember that reversing most of the political, economic and fiscal reforms of the past 30 years is a great place to start. This is still a great country, it has merely lost its way due to the meddling of far too many right wing ideologues. | Restoring the middle class requires abandoning and reversing Reaganomics and Conservative economic/fiscal policies, particularly Free Trade, as well as the progressive tax structure it had pre-Reagan. |

blueberrypoptart | leagueoflegends | t5_2rfxx | ccu4y4g | It's not necessary a problem with clamping.
An interesting effect of Riot's promo system is if you win a lot starting from a lower division (e.g. from Silver V-III then win all the way to Silver I). Because of the wins, your MMR becomes gold-level. However, because the system won't let you just go to gold, you still have to go through promotions multiple times.
This creates a problem if you are in Silver I with Gold III-II MMR. Instead of needing to win 3/5 games vs Silver I MMR teams (which any Gold III-II should be able to do), you need to win 3/5 agsint gold III-II, which is much harder! all while losing LP on losses despite having much higher MMR than their division. | this is a problem because promo games are vs people at your MMR, not the people at the MMR of the division you're trying to reach. |
raeanin | sex | t5_2qh3p | ccuqo80 | First off, there's no easy/healthy way to lower you libido, and there's nothing wrong with having a high libido.
I think you and your girlfriend need to have a frank discussion about your sexual ideals and work from there. While it's perfectly fine for her to be not ready at 18, it's fairly unusual, and it may be that she just has heard a lot of negativity about sex her whole life and really doesn't know what she wants. It may help for you guys to talk about it, or for her to find a female she can talk to more openly than she may has in the past.
If it works out that you simply have a high libido and she has a very low libido, it just might not work out. I know that saying 'end the relationship' is the cliche /r/sex response, but in this specific case, at the ages you are and about to go to college/start working, etc it may a a prudent thing to start working towards. I normally hate to say this, but it very well may save you a ton of problems in the future.
The one thing I wish more people understood about relationships, especially at a young age, is that sexual compatibility is easily one of the most important factors to a healthy successful relationship. The typical way most of us were brought up is that it is virtually non-important.
To me, mismatch libidos, or mismatched sexual preferences are completely red flags, especially in a new relationship. Yes, most people are compatible for other reasons, similar likes or views etc. But is far more easy to, for example, learn to enjoy a significant other's hobbies or interests than it is to change sexual needs or desires. | Have a serious, open conversation with your GF about sex. If it's clear you are not sexually compatible, evaluate the relationship. |

bmidge | leagueoflegends | t5_2rfxx | cczji47 | I've gotten to gold 4 with the vast majority of my games being karma either top or mid. You have 3 ults that do 3 different things. If you play like one is the best that should be used all the time and another is the worst and should never be used, you aren't playing her right. Each bonus has it's own ideal situations that it should be used in. When sieging and trying to poke from afar, your mantra'd Q along with a self shield to get yourself into position, and you start widdling down their health bars. Once a fight breaks out, you have your options open to how you want to play out the battle. Mantra Q will give you the best shot at nuking one of their squishies, and the slow can open up opportunities for your teammates to move on them. Mantra W is great for when one enemy is seperated from their team and you want to have a 1v1 duel with them, the damage is not to be underestimated, mantra'd W will always deal more damage than getting just the first proc of mantra Q, only the combined two mantra Q procs will add up to being more damage than a full mantra W. The heal is incredible for baiting, either under turret or engaging on the enemy laner that is trying to finish you but has no more cooldowns or tools to use on you. Mantra E really shines in teamfights, if you wanna to sit back and play the role of crazy fed support, karma does it well - sit right next to your AD carry and keep your shield on them as much as possible. When a tank comes to get at them you can easily peel them off with your slow and your root. With enough CDR and AP they won't be able to get through to the carries you are protecting. | 250 ranked wins with karma. Learn the explosion range of your Q so you can harass in lane phase. If you know you won't get engaged on or are trying to catch someone use mantra Q. If you are in a situation where you are trading damage with an enemy, mantra your W. If you are forced to sit in the backline, mantra e and peel for your carries. Getting High/Maxed CDR on Karma and then stacking AP works wonders, similar to the way a riven can get CDR and then straight AD because of her shield and strong abilities, your offense is your best defense. |
thrella | worldnews | t5_2qh13 | cczn2ek | According to my logic, you should be a little more understanding if you meet a white dude that grew up in Compton and is wary of black people. It doesn't justify racist behaviors, but it can sometimes help us understand why those feelings exist.
No. If he's constantly exposed to it (i.e raised in Compton) he should be more comfortable than anyone else around blacks, unless you're actually suggesting every single last black person in Compton either robbed him, treated him like shit, or just refused to socialize with him. I highly doubt this would be the case.
He might have a thing against racism because he was probably treated like shit arbitrarily a lot, and he might understand that racism is a sword that cuts both ways, but how could this possibly lead him to hate blacks? It doesn't work this way when all your friends, school life, work, home, etc are there and the majority of the population falls into a homogenized category. If we can assume he wasn't raised in isolation within a homogeneous white group who spew hate speech constantly entrenched in Compton for no apparent reason, and as I mentioned before, experienced all sorts of bad shit from every side and every angle, there's no reason for us to believe he would be racist. Maybe very opposed to Compton "gangsta" culture, which some people will call racist, but that's really just the politically correct bullshit America faces, where everyone but whites are immune to cultural criticism because it's "racist" or "discriminatory" otherwise.
I'm most definitely not going to stand here and say Roma are great. I've been to Europe, and a lot of them are thieves and scam artists, no one disagrees. But guess what? Most criminals I had to face in my life were black, and I'm not throwing their entire race under the bus for that. I understand that these things have a lot of factors, such as nurture while being raised, socioeconomic status, cultural attitudes towards a certain group, education, and even personality of an individual.

Merich | leagueoflegends | t5_2rfxx | cd78zow | Your LP gains and losses in ranked are determined by your MMR compared to what MMR is expected for someone in your tier/division.
EFT = Expected MMR for your tier/division
MMR < EFT --> LP gains < LP losses. The system thinks you should be in a lower division/tier.
MMR = EFT --> LP gains ~= LP losses. The system thinks you are roughly where you belong.
MMR > EFT --> LP gains > LP losses. The system thinks you should be in a higher division/tier.
Furthermore, in division 1 of any tier LP gains/losses are also affected by clamping. Clamping stunts your LP gains/losses. Clamping gets more severe the closer you get to your promotion. It is possible to gain +0 LP for a win if you are at ~99 LP and your MMR is insufficient for the next tier. For more information on clamping please read [this]( post.
Additionally, your LP gains and losses are also affected by the average MMR of your team compared to the average MMR of the enemy team.
For more information about the league system read the [Season 3 FAQ](
For more information about MMR read [this]( | Your MMR is too low.
**PS - Riot is considering implementing a +1 LP gain minimum for next season. [Source]( |
