[Offer] Penpal / Package exchange | I saw someone else post this and thought it was a great idea. I love to write letters and exchange little packages of items and foods. I live in the US and would prefer to do exchanges with someone from another country. PM me or comment here and we can talk. | Favors |
"The United States must prevent the Taliban from turning Afghanistan back into a safe haven from which international terrorists can strike at us or our allies." | What truth is there to Obama's rationale for occupying Afghanistan? Given how terrorist groups operate, I'd think that they could station themselves anywhere in the world and effectively plan attacks. | politics |

Just got this email from Google...Thought I'd Share | Dear Google Apps admin,
In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.
We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010. After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.
Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above.
Starting this week, users on these older browsers will see a message in Google Docs and the Google Sites editor explaining this change and asking them to upgrade their browser. We will also alert you again closer to March 1 to remind you of this change.
In 2009, the Google Apps team delivered more than 100 improvements to enhance your product experience. We are aiming to beat that in 2010 and continue to deliver the best and most innovative collaboration products for businesses.
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
The Google Apps team | programming |
You wanted more hiphop. Here's an instrumental. | I started and finished this track within a couple hours. Jacked the melody from a record. It's pretty obvious but I'll let you guys figure it out. Let me know what you think.

Something I just noticed after watching Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure | I love this movie. Seen it plenty of times since I was maybe five years old. Yet I never noticed this one thing before tonight:
Throughout the whole movie, Rufus, played by the late great George Carlin, **never** gives his name. **Ever.** He never gives it to the audience in his opening dialogue, he never gives it to the three robed future people before they give him the phone booth, and he never gives it to Bill or Ted.
Yet in the parking lot of the Circle K, future-Bill addresses Bill and Ted and says, *"Listen to this dude Rufus. He knows what he's talking about."* There is nothing in the course of the movie to explain how Bill came to know Rufus' name!
I really hope I'm not the only one to have missed this before tonight. In my more geekish moments I've picked apart the time travel aspect of the story, and I feel really stupid for not noticing this glaring problem sooner. | movies |
A really old school project me and some atheist friends made -- You play a super muscular, duke nukem attitude, grenade launcher wielding jesus. | This project was made during my time in the Game Art program at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. The object of the class was to work with a team of 5 other people, come up with a fake game trailer, and produce it. Looking back on it, the content is straight up awful, it was 1.5 years into a 3 year program, and alot of the content is amateur --- and it was rushed because we had 9 weeks to do it. However, I was feeling nostalgic and thought I'd share this project with Reddit. Maybe it's worth a few laughs.
Anyways the whole purpose was to take biblical mythology and have fun with it. I thought that if all these people make stories about elves and goblins and take their liberties with other mythical creatures, why can't I take Jesus and just turn him into a stylish badass who walks around wreaking righteous carnage on the earth?
This was the result!

I would like to be able to control the threshold it takes for a subreddit to make my frontpage. IE: I like ffuuuu and circlejerk, but I don't want them flooding my frontpage | rather than try to explain my idea, I just drew it
There you go, reddit, there's your blueprint for success.
The lack of this sort of feature has made me unsubscribe from /r/circlejerk. Its an awesome subreddit, but it just clutters my frontpage. There are certain subreddits which I want to always appear on my frontpage near the top when new stuff comes out, and there are certain subreddits which I only want to see the most upvoted stuff. | ideasfortheadmins |
How do other libertarians feel about seat belt laws? | Growing up they made sense to me.. the law was there to protect you, nothing more to it than that.
As I've aged, my views have slightly changed. When you're not wearing a seatbelt, you're really only putting yourself at risk. If you want to take that risk, why should the government say you're not allowed to? | Libertarian |
DAE absolutely avoid touching glossy paper at all costs? | Some people say that scraping nails against a chalkboard is the worst sound known to man. I would listen to nails on a chalkboard every day if it meant that I would never again have to hear someone smudge their finger up against a piece of paper. Does this skeeve anyone else out? Or am I really just batshit crazy? | DoesAnybodyElse |
About to break off engagement | Good evening everybody. Just wondering if the hive mind can help me figure out a couple things, or at least just listen. So I'm in my second year of what has seemed like a very good relationship, at least good enough to make me want to marry the girl. We dated for a year and a half before the engagement, it wasn't perfect but we made it work. She came into the relationship with some very heavy baggage (more later if it's justified). I had strong enough feelings for the girl to work through it with her. We moved in together soon after I proposed and have been living together for a little over six months now. Lately everything I do and say becomes an argument. I'm not the type to start fights, and have never really had any issues with anyone in my life before. I try to talk to her about it and it just escalates the situation.
Cut to last night. She got mad at me for something and I got mad back. It's been twenty-four hours since we even spoke. In this twenty four hours I've had a lot of time to think and am starting to realize I'm not really happy and I haven't been for a long time. We hardly make love, and I'm realizing she never even pursues me for as much as a kiss. We've spoken about our different needs, and I always end up being the bad guy and the pervert. Looking back I'm starting to wonder why I thought everything was so great and it's all kinda hazy. We've got nothing in common. Our music tastes, our religious beliefs or lack thereof ;), our hobbies, what we eat, our political views, our sex drives. Nothing matches.
My question for you is this.
Should I stick it out and find a way to make it work, or should I cut my losses and leave? What would you do?
tl;dr: Considering breaking off engagement due to bad chemistry, no commonalities. Pros? Cons?
I'll be up for quite a while to answer questions.
Thanks. | relationship_advice |

This is a weird question, I'm sure, but: when I do push-ups, I get a special tingle. | At the start of my yoga class we usually do a few push-ups to get the blood flowing. Just however many we're comfortable doing, a half-dozen or a dozen.
During the down stage of each push-up, I get an intensely pleasurable feeling between my legs. I think in some way I'm contracting my pelvic floor... or something. It's a nice feeling, but I can't really enjoy it because it's in an inappropriate time and place, so it mostly just feels weird.
I'm just wondering if this happens to anyone else, or if my vagina is haunted or something. | TwoXChromosomes |
What's the Libertarian view on corporate monopolies? | Adam Smith, writer of "The Wealth of Nations" called monopolies "a great enemy to good management" because they drive out competition and effectively destroy capitalism.
Marx thought that monopolies could be exploited by the government. As soon was one corporation completely took over a market, the government could effectively fuse with that corporation to form a Communist government. | Libertarian |
Hey Reddit! I need your help finding a Ted Talk! | I saw it in one of my classes and now I completely forget who did it. What I do kinda remember is it was about the internet becoming more intricate and how it related to technology. Now that alone, can result in an endless amount of talks. But I will now help you narrow it down by telling you the man speaking wore an orange coat and had a mustache. If any of yous guys can help I would be very happy. Thanks in advance! | ted |

Anyone else worried about the future of Caprica? | Caprica's Ratings Slide Verges on the Apocolyptic
I for one enjoy the pilot enough and really enjoyed the (albeit cheesy) first episode. It shows a lot of promise, has a great cast and seems to have a good balance of cyber punk-bent world building and character drama. I've heard later episodes really turn it up a notch, which tells me it will be pretty damn good judging by its start. Hopefully the ratings pick up and it doesn't go by the wayside. Knowing they were quick to kill BSG when it's ratings dropped doesn't leave me with too much hope. Thoughts?
P.S. Yes, I know you didn't like the BSG finale. ;) | scifi |
help my diet. Can't figure out what to do | Hey guys, Heres my deal. I'm 6'1, 185lbs and weight lift every day. My problem consists with my diet. I have these love handles that just wont go away. The rest of my body is pretty good besides my stupid genetic wide hips (thanks mom). With those hips i have love handles.
My diet, if i use today for example -
Breakfast - bowl of cereal + some protein cereal. Kashi i think
Lunch - Chicken cutlet + water
2-3pmish - Chicken (breast) + rice and small cut potatoes
Gym -
Post gym (6pm) - Protein shake (2 scoops 100% gold standard whey)
9pm - Chicken (breast) +one cup rice
---no more food after (sleep & repeat)
----Note also that i strictly drink water. Almost a gallon a day
If you want my gym routine, id gladly post it for some feedback because i'm sure that could use some touching up as well...
Anyway, even though i think* i eat particularly well, i cant lose the fat. When/if i do cardio, i usually do 10-15mins of High interval training | Fitness |
Yet another reason why the iPad will fail - Tell me i'm not right ! | 1) Really limited in what can be connected and what it can connect to. I.e projector (without crazy attachments)
2) No Flash
3) It would be seriously hard typing on it laying on the couch with your legs stright. You would need your knees up and even then it could fall.
4) No webcam - No video conferencing
5) You have to hold it all the time to get a nice viewing angle. (a laptop you can lay it down and tilt the screen however you want)
6) You have to have another computer around to sync it.
7) No way to print
8) no way to connect external thumbdrives
9) battery - I mean serious ? no replaceable battery ? So in a year when you start getting only 2 hours on this thing.... what do you do then ?
10) You really need a case for it. if something hits the glass it will most likely break.
11) Limited in browser/mail/productivity client selection. (because of apple's no base function duplicate rule)
I don't know do you really want this ? freakin get a netbook or a laptop. | technology |

Why is everyone assuming Apple’s ban on Flash is supposed to drive traffic to the app store? | It’s a glib explanation, but it doesn’t make sense to me, and here’s why. Crucial fact:
* **Nothing prevents you from installing web apps on the iPhone without going through the app store.**
The widespread assumption, as I understand it, is that banning Flash forces developers to rewrite their SWFs as iPhone apps, which can then only be distributed on the app store after receiving explicit approval from Apple. Right?
The problem is, that only applies to “native” UIKit apps, because web apps have never been subject to this process of dictatorial control. And an HTML5 web app can do just about anything a Flash app can do (the only exception I know of is recording through the camera and mic, please correct me on this). It will usually do it faster and better, *and* it will install directly to the home screen just like anything from the app store. So if you’re porting a Flash app to the iPhone, you can avoid the approval process and charge whatever you like without giving a single penny to Apple. If you’re so inclined.
Oh, I know, HTML5+JS in WebKit wasn’t *always* as capable as Flash. If you had a Flash app a couple years ago you wanted to port to the iPhone, you might’ve needed UIKit for some things, and you’d have had to submit to Apple’s approval process and distribution scheme. But remember, the app store didn’t even *exist* for the first year after the iPhone was released. Every third-party application was supposed to be a web app running under WebKit (exactly like Google’s vision for Chrome OS, incidentally). Developers were supposed to target open standards like scriptable SVG and <canvas>, not UIKit or Flash.
That vision turned out to be premature, in 2007, because WebKit on iPhone OS 1.0 wasn’t quite up to the task. But now it’s 2010, WebKit and HTML have evolved, and you no longer need UIKit for the kind of animations and interactivity Flash provides. Moreover, on the desktop, the installed base of HTML5-capable browsers is growing. Software written to any device-specific API, including UIKit, is getting less relevant. So for the types of applications that use Flash, as well as many more complex apps, UIKit is already overkill and on the way out—do people think nobody at Apple realizes that?
I’m not saying Apple doesn’t want developers writing for UIKit. The app store is profitable, for one thing, and the number of apps targeting UIKit provides a form of vendor lock-in. But here’s the specific point regarding Flash:
* **Keeping Flash off the iPhone has nothing to do with skimming off profits from the sale of iPhone apps, because you are perfectly free to sell non-Flash apps without going through Apple’s app store.**
I know Reddit as a whole has been suffering from collective retardation on this topic, but does that at least make sense to you folks?
***
Things Flash can do that a web app can’t:
* Camera and mic input
* Realtime DSP
* DRM
What else? | apple |
The US and its allies are as responsible as anyone for the suffering in North Korea. Basically, they do not submit to empire. So they are put on the "axis of evil" and made to suffer. | It is a fact that North Korea has been placed on this 'axis of evil'.
"The move considerably eased the strict trade embargo that has been in place since 1950"
This half-century trade embargo with North Korea is a fact. It is a fact that North Koreans receive less food and energy because of it.

If you want to believe that the british empire was the end of empires, then you are delusional. The American empire continues the British one. Most Americans are actually of British descent.
Although I live in the good ole USA, I get my gas from the closest gas station which is Arco which happens to be BP (British Petroleum) which gets oil from where? Iraq, matter of fact, among other places. My brother, also a red-blooded American living in California, happens to work for BAE Systems which happens to stand for what? British Aerospace. What is that?
"The company was formed in the United Kingdom as a statutory corporation on 29 April 1977 as a result of the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries Act. This called for the nationalisation and merger of the British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Hawker Siddeley Dynamics and Scottish Aviation. In 1979 BAe officially joined Airbus, the UK having previously withdrawn support for the consortium in April 1969."
Go ahead, keep downvoting this without anything to back your downvotes. Bury the truth you fucking sheep. Shoot the messenger. You believe whatever authority tells you to. The people that own you want you to think that North Korea does this to themselves, you believe it. Get some historical perspective. Wake up out of your delusional fantasyland fog. | worldnews |
Dear Reddit, how do you give an elevator speech? | I'll be graduating in May, and am still looking for a career, and I feel kind of awkward in trying to fit a large number of brags in 30 seconds. What should it consist of? What should I stress? | AskReddit |
Reddit, What are your tips and tricks to productivity? | I constantly find myself in an unproductive and lazy state most of the time, in fact so frequently, that it drives me insane.

I need some Reddit counseling please...

[Offer] I will take a look at any collision repair estimate and tell you if the body shop is ripping you off. | I'm a NYS licensed Insurance Adjuster. I work for a fairly large Insurance company, I won't say which but it doesn't have cavemen or flo. If you show me a repair estimate I can tell you if what they wrote makes sense and is reasonable. If you show me pictures of the car I can better assess your damages.
Labor rates do vary from state to state.
I can't tell you who is at fault.
I can answer basic questions regarding coverage, i.e. what falls under comprehensive, collision, liability, glass but again certain things vary state to state. | Favors |
Greg asked what jobs I could get with a Computer Science degree. Can Reddit help me answer this question? | I was catching up with an old friend (Greg S) recently and he knew that I was in college, so he asked me what my major was. Computer Science, I told him. Then he asked me a question that, well, almost sounded dumb. What kind of jobs can you get with that degree? I rambled off a few things, but nothing stellar, nothing clear cut. So, Reddit maybe you've heard of a few jobs that are available for Computer Scientists and Computer Engineers. Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful. Any personal experience would also be great. If you once wrote a program that made you $6 million (lutusp) or one that made you 6 dollars, please share that also. Help me give Old Greg an answer as only Reddit can. Something we can all be proud of later, or ashamed of, either way. | reddit.com |
WWIIish battle rifles and similar guns. | Hello! I'm in the mood to purchase a WWII battle rifle.
Perks
- Inexpensive
- Reliable
- Fairly easy to service
- Stupid accurate over irons
Downsides
- Sitting in WP stockpile for 50 years
- Ammunition
- Impossible to make tacticool
- Lack of Gucci accessories.
I have 500$ (Actually, closer to 300, but let's pretend it's 5), and I want a rifle for target shooting, messing around, and possibly deer hunting at some point in the distant future. What should I buy? What would you buy? Why? | guns |
What is the atheist equivalent of: "you are in my prayers"? | Okay so my family ranges from moderately to extremely religious and I have yet to tell them I'm an atheist and don't plan on it for a little while...
Now my grandma is really sick in the hospital (her heart doesn't work well [or maybe at all] anymore) and a mass email my father has sent out has gotten many replies along the lines of:
"Tell her she is in our prayers!"
Now do to my current geographical and financial situation I probably can't visit my grandma in the hospital but I want to know what to say to my father along the lines of she is in my "prayers" but I don't pray or believe in prayers...
My best so thing so far is "Tell her I miss her and love her and that I will always think of her..."
Any other suggestions?
.
I know this post is kind of a ramble but I'm sad and I needed to vent...

I have a goReader... Any ideas on what to do with it? (More info inside) | I have an old goReader. It's basically a primitive tablet PC. (I've looked online for more info on it, and I found one page that supposedly described the product, but it was definitely describing something a little newer than the one I have.) The company has pretty much gone MIA.
But, I want to do *something* with it. I know my ex (who left it at my house a few years ago) used to play a Command and Conquer type game on it. As it stands, I can use it as a reader (I have put a few books on it from projectgutenburg and it is decent for this application...)
I want to see what (if anything) it is useful for. Here are some stats on it that I pulled from the system properties screen: 64mb memory, 1gb external card ("microdrive"?), processor type: Strong ARM, OS: Windows CE version 3.0 (build 126), Allocated storage memory: 32mb (can be bumped up to the full 64).
I have the USB cord for it (one end is USB, the other end is some crazy thing that I have only ever seen on this product).
It has some java builder on it called EVMconsole. I think this was put on there by my ex to make the C&C game work.
It has a **very** responsive touch screen (it uses a stylus and is very accurate.) It would be great as a drawing tablet, but I don't know that the hardware could run *any* decent drawing program.
The same hole that the external card goes in will also (supposedly) hold a wifi card, but I don't have one of those. (This thing is from around 2001, so I don't even think they use the same ones now.) **EDIT:** looking closer, there is a separate slot for the wifi/ethernet card. (I still don't have one, either way.)
It's pretty much brand new. My ex played with it for a few weeks and forgot about it, and when we broke up it ended up staying here. It even still has the plastic cover on the screen!
I realize that it has *WAY* less horse power than my Blackberry, so it's probably worth less than a paperweight, but I figured I'd ask and see if anyone had any ideas on this.
I am pretty good with computers, but sometimes I think I know just enough to fuck something up good and not be able to fix it, so if you have a cool idea to mod it up all crazy, please try and help me understand how to do it right so I don't fuck this up.
I'd like to see if it's useful as a drawing tablet (I'm in school for web design/development), or a portable karaoke machine type thing (it has mic & headphone jacks and built-in speakers), or anything else that would make it worth messing with. (besides the book reader thing... That's pretty cool, I guess). | technology |
Reddit, what are some awesome animals that are now extinct? | I think prehistoric beasts (mammals especially) are fascinating, and I would like to be aware of, and know more about them.
I was considering excluding dinosaurs, since everybody already knows that dinosaurs are both awesome and extinct. But I don't want to miss out on the opportunity to learn about a sweet dinosaur I am unaware of.
I will start:
Cave bears. The Wikipedia page also indicates that they may have been worshiped by Neanderthals.
Mastodons, although similar to elephants in appearance, aren't particularly closely related.
Giant ground sloths]( were scaled up versions of their tree-dwelling cousins. [Megatherium was 20 ft when standing on its hind legs.
Irish Elk had antlers that could span over 3.5m. I could have used its antlers as a roomy, if uncomfortable, bed.
The Thunder Beast]( was a positively [bad ass rhino-type thing.
There are so many more!! | AskReddit |
I have no health insurance, and I think I have a sinus infection... Any suggestions? | Is there anything I can do without going to a doctor and getting a prescription? I have been reading a lot of webMD type sites, but I don't really know if I should trust them... thanks reddit :) | Health |

[OFFER] I can assist with diagnosing car troubles/ giving solutions | I am an "Elm Shade" mechanic. I have worked primarily on Fords and Volvos, but I have worked on Jeeps and Chevys as well. Problem starting? Stalling out? I can at least narrow down the list of solutions and tell you what NOT to pay for at a mechanic to save you money.
Note: You can PM, or better yet, post a thread here. BE SPECIFIC. Start with car make, model, year, and any other relevant information you can think of. Also include your climate, mileage, driving habits, and repair record (or lack of... I won't scold you.. too much.. but it is a valuable clue) and hopefully I can save you a few bucks!

Not ready yet to make the next step | So I am a 21 year old male who is in a 11 month relationship with a wonderful girl. I am completely happy with her and I can honestly say that my life has never felt better. However one problem that may have occurred is that she was initially saving herself for marriage but we were having sex after a month of dating. Now I don't know if it is because we had sex but she talks about our future all the time. She talks about what kids we will have, where we will live together, when we should get engaged, and when we should get married, where our wedding will be, who will be invited.... basically all these questions about our future that I don't think about at all. Everytime she asks my opinion about the future, I tell her I don't really think about it and she gets really hurt as she says she feels like she loves more than I do for her. I really do care about her and these "arguments" are the only type of problems we have.
I could very well see myself marrying her one day but it is not something I think about as it wont be for years but yet I don't know what to say to her without causing problems.
So reddit what should I do? | relationship_advice |

Reddit, I just had a terrifying conversation with a med school colleague. | As I was leaving the gym, I started some idle banter with another med school student about the upcoming rotation selection for our 3rd year. We talked about advantages of certain sites and such, and she brings up how she's really excited to go to a site in Oklahoma (St. Anthony's Hospital I believe it was.) When I asked her why, this is her explanation.
"They have a faith-based approach. They really integrate spiritual healing into their practice, you know, like praying and laying hands on a patient.... You know, because we can't ignore the power of spiritual healing and God's power to heal people.... I mean, I want to be a trauma surgeon... sometimes you just have to realize that you can't do everything, and you just have to put it in God's hands... (comment from me about how I can't compartmentalize well and couldn't handle Emergency Medicine)... Well that's why it's good to have that knowledge about what happens to you after you die, so you don't have to worry about them, because they're with God."
Maybe I'm overreacting, but to have that girl be my trauma surgeon scares me now. Anyone in Oklahoma confirm that approach to medicine?
**tl:dr** - don't go to St. Anthony's hospital in OK.
EDIT: Just did a 5 second google search. Holy Shit --> Confirmed. Look at the *FIRST THING* that stares you in the face when you go to their website. | atheism |

I rehabilitate dogs, mostly pit bull terriers, for adoption, AmA. | My wife wanted to start fostering animals 1 year ago. It went from fostering a kitten, to having 2 pit bulls running around my house. We already have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a rabbit of our own. I have successfully socialized and trained at least one very dog and cat aggressive pit bull and she is still with us. She currently avoids other unstable dogs and licks kittens in submission. We have had no fights since we started with 5 pit bulls about 5 months ago. 3 have been adopted. Within the rescue organization we work with (about 300 foster animals), we are the only ones that take on pit bulls. Everyday in our town of 200,000 people, an average of 20 pit bulls are automatically euthanized, given no chance for adoption. | IAmA |
DAE get annoyed when people talk about how much they drink? | I don't know why, but it always frustrates me when people tell me about how much alcohol they've consumed.

Seeking : A mentor to help me evaluate and decide on a media-related course in the UK. | Hey,
I'm a bachelor's in mass media (aka bullshitting 101) from Bombay and i'm looking at going to the UK for higher studies. I'm interested in journalism and new media, though i'm also looking at the possibility of a political communications course. I don't really know too many people there, and as much as i try, i don't know which websites to trust or which college offers better courses, so i figured i should drop a line here and see if anyone could help :) | mentors |
What is a behaviorist's prospective on homosexuality? | When I was 19 I got into an argument with a fellow student who studied behaviorism. He didn't believe that homosexuality was legitimate because homosexuals don't pass on their genes therefore natural selection would have weeded out homosexuals and he believed that homosexuality occurs because of social circumstances. I am now 22 and still don't know how to refute that argument even though I know it is not true. | psychology |
I'm wonder what the best course of action might be concerning my depression at this point. | *I attempted suicide 6 years ago and have continued life since then, things have been mostly good since then but as of late thoughts have continued to trend downward. I thought maybe putting a few thoughts on paper might help but I'm not real convinced its a good thing but here are my thoughts on it.*
"The image that comes to my mind most often is being a moth and seeing so many moths flying around a light, they're drawn to it and obsessed with it, but I don't feel drawn in to that light. So often I don't feel that same wanting and desire. I don't feel like Im being pulled to keep wanting to be in that light like everyone else seems to. No one should need a reason to want life, it should be effortless and a given. Why should I try daily to bargain with myself to stick around?
All at once it all feels like I could laugh about it, the absurdity of needing nothing but searching for hard for reasons, for things to need. I shouldn't need reasons I should just be content with being.
I don't feel like I desire any pity or attention from others, very much the opposite. I've often thought if it happens again that I'd hate to inconvenience anyone, I'm sure it wouldnt be an easy thing for those that know me to deal with to begin with but I would hate to inconvenience them on top of whatever else they'd have to deal with.
This is no fault of anyone. This is me and its me alone. There is no tipping point no last straw, no good reasons to do a stupid thing. It just is and it continues. It receeds and inevitably comes back so I wait for it. In this way I suppose I am a different sort of moth, one that cant seem to stay away from going away from that light. "
What tends to worry me most is when these ideas come so easily, effortlessly and become normal. I really don't care to talk to my family about it, I feel its a worry I'd rather not put on them. I don't know if there's really any solution at this point beyond medication. | needadvice |
Dear Reddit, I was out late last night and I have to get up early tomorrow. Help me fall asleep. | Any suggestions? I'd warm me up a glass of milk but I don't have any. Also, I'm in a dorm room with a roommate, so no late-night lullaby-blasting either.

Reddit Karma Calculus: I posted a link, it got downvoted to zero (38 up 45 down) and yet my link karma went up by 20 points. What are your weird experiences with karma calculus? | The post is here.
It seems that Reddit must be weighing upvotes and downvotes based on who gives them, perhaps based on your total karma; that's the only thing I can think of which would permit me to have a net gain on total karma when the link was a net loss vote-wise.

Looking for Penpal in Greater Boston Area to become awesome friends with so we can eventually explore the city together. | I board on campus at a private high school in Milton, and am very often stuck on campus during the weekends because the commute to the T is sometimes just too much of a hassle. I'd like to get to know some cool redditors around Boston so eventually we might be able to hang out sometime, grab a bite to eat at some hole in the wall restaurant, window shop at some indie store, listen to some underground bands perform, ect ect.

Hey Reddit. I have to choose a topic for my English paper due soon and I need some solid ideas. | The paper has to be about current trends in our culture or global culture, also an interview is required of someone who is a participant in this trend. On top of all this you have to some how argue a point about your trend. I was going to write about the trend of people in our country giving up civil liberties and was planning on interviewing a political science professor who is an expert at my school but after a week and a half and only one reply from him it doesn't look like he is going to be responding to the rest of my emails i sent him. I have to interview someone very soon as the paper is due in a week. It doesn't necessarily have to be political kids are doing phones and music etc. Any ideas? | AskReddit |

Another question on Newtonian gravity | In high school, I learned the Newton's law of gravity. It said:
"Every particle in the universe exerts a force on every other particle, the magnitude of which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them"
But according to Einstein, gravity is not a force at all, but an effect of space time curvature(correct me if I am wrong here).
Also, gravity waves are not faster than light, hence those particles which are farther to earth than where light has reached cannot be attracted by earth. So, was Newton wrong? | science |
Anyone ever play the first person shooter vietcong? I loved that game, just wondering if anyone else did. I feel it never got the credit it deserved. | Vietcong was intense. It is the only game to date that I've played where multiplayer was genuinly frightening and the single player campaign was absolutely incredible. You could cross entire maps (on multiplayer) without being spotted, you could get sniped out of fucking nowhere and never even see your enemy.
I remember one map with a river running through it - absolutely the best map I've ever played in a first person shooter. That was the only game where I could crawl along a shallow river bed with enemies running right by and not noticing.
I heard the next Call of Duty is going to be set in Vietnam and that's what inspired me to make this post, sadly I can see it getting even more arcade like than MW2, as seems to be the general of new CoD games. (How awesome was COD2? especially the dedicated realism servers on the pc...) | gaming |

Spirituality of a homosexual | So, I've recently just come out of my self-denial about my homosexuality. After I decided to accept myself and to be pround of who and what I am, I did some research into the history of homosexuality in societies that weren't Eurocentric in viewpoint.
What I found:
Joseph Campbell in the Power of Myth stated that Native Americans revered homosexuals because they believer they were people with two spirits. BAM! This hit me especially hard because it described how I have felt my entire life. When I was in high school I thought I might be a schizophrenic or something like that, but I've always been fully functional, excelling socially, in sports, academically and have had a pretty good life until I realized who I was decided to deny it for a period of time.
I've always been a psychonaut, diving deep into my own spirituality and I'd been running into a wall repeatedly the past year or so because of my self-denial. From what I have read and deduced from my own experiences in life, I believe that I, spiritually, am the unity of a man and a woman. Two in one, if you will.
Is there anyone else that fits this mold out there? Do you think most (or maybe even all?) homosexuals are this way?
Do you have any insight you could share with me and everyone else here? | lgbt |

My dealer is a semi-homeless Rastafarian I met almost by accident. I saw him begging and I was looking for new dealers since my last one had left town.

None-the-less, the Stanford Police would like to remind you to be wary of offering rides to people whom you do not know. | A message from STANFORD UNIVERSITY
Message sent - 2/1/2010
In the early morning hours of Saturday, January 30th, a Stanford student struck up a conversation with a stranger at a bar in Palo Alto near the campus. The stranger, a male, suggested that they go out for food. The student drove the stranger to a McDonald's in East Palo Alto. The stranger then asked the student if he could crash at the student's residence. The student refused, so the stranger got out of the student's vehicle. Unbeknownst to the student, the stranger left a bag of personal items in the student's car. Upon discovering the bag, the student took it to the Stanford Police (on Monday, February 1) so that it could be returned to the stranger. Among the items in the bag, the police located a pair of handcuffs and lighter fluid. The officers were able to ascertain the identity of the stranger and, after some investigation, determined that the individual did not appear to pose a threat to the student or the community. None-the-less, the Stanford Police would like to remind you to be wary of offering rides to people whom you do not know.

Dear Reddit user complementing leaving the church, | I am a young man, in the same positions as you. When I was 11 I learned of pornography on the internet: I was ordained the priesthood unworthily. Every day I would say to myself "I need to stop this". I thought that the church was true because of personal experiences and miracles that happened in my family. Soon I continued this, passing the sacrament, becoming a teacher and a priest, and even entering the Holy Temple - all unworthily. I had tried to stop my addiction. When I became a priest I tried to dedicate myself to stay away from it. I decided that I needed to pray, and I even decided to read from the Book of Mormon. The next day I am on the computer and I don't commit the sin. I did this for a week, maybe taking a small peak somewhere. Soon I gave in. I repeated this process and still am. However, I would like to bear my testimony unto you. I know that prayer and scripture study do help to combat the adversary, I know that I have been blessed. And I even know that we have an immortal spirit. I don't know if I can still go on a mission because I have lied to the bishop so many times, but if I can then I know I have a strong testimony. I know that this church is true and I hope that you can humble yourself. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen. | lds |
Enough with all these [10]'s | I am quite tired of seeing people post that they are [10]'s when they are obviously not. You don't have to try to impress us by posting a [10], it doesn't make you cooler. But because it's the internet, you do it do try and be cooler. Like what a lot of other people say that would agree with me, if you are a [10] you would be WAAAYYYYYYYY to high to even function a computer. To be honest this whole high rating system is kind of bogus the more I think about it. There should really only be 4 highs on this "Scale".....[0] 'sober', [1] 'buzzed', [2] 'pretty high', and [3] 'baked outta your mind'
Like seriously, how do you know what number you are, you are either high, or you are really high. There is no other way to put it other than that IMHO.
But that is my honest opinion, take it as you will. But I'm seriously fed up with people thinking that they are [10]'s, or better yet, posting that they are a [10] to try and win some *stoner cool points*, just stop.
[2] **On my own scale**
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of the scale, and I definitely love the pictures of the scale. But I just think that its a little bit overwhelming and a lot a bit confusing to some, at least to me it is. Like when i posted my "Highness" in the past, I picked a random number that was up 'high' on the scale. Don't think I am a liar, because even though I was really high, I just didn't know which number to pick because its confusing. I'm sorry for for *dissing* the scale, but I just don't care for it all that much, that is all. | trees |

Relationships and the military. What do? | Hey /RA/,
Hope everyone here's having a good one tonight, I sure ain't. I has come to my attention that I'll be leaving for boot camp tomorrow. :'(
I'm not a cynic but I don't trust people, for some reason I just can't go that far as to trust people I recently meet when compared to my friends whom I've known for years since I was just a teen. Maybe I'm afraid of gold diggers too much but mostly I think it comes down to my inexperience with dealing with women or generally people.
Anyway before I derail or rant I'd just like to ask briefly seeing I've got a short window on using the Internet before my batts run out. What could I do to enhance or make it easier on myself to go out and meet women? I've only had 1 girlfriend and that was about 5 years ago almost. I'm pretty much a shut-in and a big fan of just laying around all day using the internet. Where could I meet chicks that would even like me, when i cant stand going outside? Where I live here in Puerto Rico there is absolutely NOTHING to do recreationaly that isn't drugs.
I just don't see many options for me. Just needed to blow off steam. Also I hate my mother whom I consider an over-bearing and two faced nagging bitch waste of human space but raised me good. | relationship_advice |

Thinking about buying TF2. Please clear up a couple of questions about the game for me. | Ok let's see if I got this straight...
I can purchase TF2 as a standalone game for 10 dollars on Steam. I do not have to have any incarnation of past Half life games installed on my computer to play TF2.
There is virtually no single player aspect to the game at all. Not even any bots that I can pwn by myself at this time. There is a lot of bot implementation in the works though.
So ... am I right?
Anything else I need to know before I purchase?
