Changing the Earth's climate, probably yes. The comet is about 4 km across. Compare this to the Apophis asteroid which was 0.4 km across and could have wiped out the western coast of the US just from its tsunami. All else equal, a land impact of Rosetta's comet (land impacts have a much greater effect on climate due to dust) would be disastrous.
Changing the Earth's trajectory, probably no. Earth's mass is 500,000,000,000 times the mass of Rosetta's comet. The comet's orbit isn't especially elliptical and doesn't actually cross Earth's orbit, but let's say it did cross and that it was moving at twice the speed of Earth at the time. The inertia of the comet as a proportion of the inertia of the earth would be
( m^comet v^comet ) / ( m^earth v^earth ) = ( m^comet / m^earth ) ( v^comet / v^earth ) = (1 / 500,000,000,000) (2 / 1) = 1 / 250,000,000,000 = 2.5 * 10^(-11).
This implies a maximum delta-v for Earth of 0.0000000004%. For comparison, the Earth's speed varies from 30.29 km/s to 29.29 km/s (about 3%) over the course of a year as it moves closer to and farther from the sun.

Hello loseit, I'm 25 years old, female, 5'2, haven't scale for a while because its broken. But I must be around 180 lbs.
This time, I want to lose for good. I have been overweight my whole life. I am feeling so bad in my skin, its killing my relationship. I'm so ashamed of myself, it makes sex and my happiness with him very difficult. I try to avoid sex as much as I can, because I can't get excited. As soon as he touch my arms, my thighs, my belly, my calves, my ass... I feel disgusted. I can do sex only in the dark, and doing it out of bed out of covers is absolutly impossible. Most of the time I end up relieving him with my hands...
And I don't have to say that my body hurts all the time. I just feel random pain everyday at random area. 3 months ago some huge blue veins has started to grow behind my thighs, its so ugly. I'm tired all the time, I have no energy, I feel dead inside really.
I've already been in the way to success though, I was going to the gym, and I went from 172 lbs to 141. But then I moved away, and the closest gym was really overpriced and couldn't afford it. I was living in a really bad area to have fun walking and lose weight, so I just gave up... I know.. its silly.
But now, I want to do things differently. I don't want to pay to lose weight. I want to use everything that's around me, and start the journey to be in peace with my body.
I don't mind counting calories. I don't mind jumping on a scale, and scale my food too. I'd like to start eating true good food, stop eating hidden crap, I really would like to become a master of food ingredients/benefits and know what my body needs to be really healthy in the most natural way possible, but avoiding boring meals though. I wish to choose my buying habits as well. Cutting over packaged foods, buy in bulk (buy foods with my own containers) and developping good environment habits.
My boyfriend will eat with me, so I need to make meals that will appeal both of us, without restricting him too much. He his already slim and healthy (does sports, skiing, etc).
I just don't know where to search for low calorie meals, how to train outside without spending a dimme. I'm no where close to rich, I work on minimum wage.. I'd like to eat fun meals, and use apps if its possible. I'm an android geek, and I like to use fun, simple and good looking apps to tool me everytime needed. I know about MyFitnessPal and Fit, already use it.
By the way, sorry for the bad english, its my 2nd language.
So I'm here to seek for advice, how to train outside with guides, manual, etc, how to start training for someone who never really did sport of her life. (Last time I jogged, I ran for less than 30 seconds. I was totally out of breath). Also looking for fun apps suggestions. | I'm fat. Relationship with boyfriend is terrible because I'm hidding myself all the time. I feel tired and dead inside. I want to learn how to be really healthy, learn how to master food (ingredients/benefits), learn my way to be in peace with my body and reach my ideal body weight. I want to exercise outside but don't know how to start. I want to eat low calories meals, but I don't really know where to look for. I love using Apps because I'm an Android geek and I love to use apps for everything. I'd like to find fun, simple and good looking apps to help me in my journey. I know about MyFitnessPal and Fit, already use it. | [

Cutting over packaged foods, buy in bulk (buy foods with my own containers) and developping good environment habits. \n My boyfriend will eat with me, so I need to make meals that will appeal both of us, without restricting him too much. He his already slim and healthy (does sports, skiing, etc). \n I just don't know where to search for low calorie meals, how to train outside without spending a dimme. I'm no where close to rich, I work on minimum wage.. I'd like to eat fun meals, and use apps if its possible. I'm an android geek, and I like to use fun, simple and good looking apps to tool me everytime needed. I know about MyFitnessPal and Fit, already use it. \n By the way, sorry for the bad english, its my 2nd language. \n So I'm here to seek for advice, how to train outside with guides, manual, etc, how to start training for someone who never really did sport of her life. (Last time I jogged, I ran for less than 30 seconds. I was totally out of breath). Also looking for fun apps suggestions.",

They should stop treating unemployed people like products
As someone who used to work in a Jobcentre I could not agree more. Strap yourself in folks, this is going to be a long post.
Sadly, the people who work at Jobcentres are treated with much of the same lack of respect as the people who use them, by the Department of Work and Pensions and government. People who work there are seen as no more than statistics themselves. And there is a culture of corporate bullying.
What the DWP and successive governments forget is that the people who have to use Jobcentres are human beings. And they have also forgot that the people who work there are human beings too. And the shocking thing in all of this is that if the DWP and government actually listened to the people who worked there, instead of focusing on their twin pronged obsession with departmental ‘efficiency savings’ and targeting ‘benefit scroungers’, they could actually give people meaningful help in finding work.
And that is the reason I left, I could not help people.
I wanted to help people, I had the skills to help people, fuck it…so did my workmates. But as each new political motherfucker became head of work and pensions, they just made things worse…and they continue to do so.
Many, many moons ago I was unemployed and had to sign on. I have never forgotten how awful that felt. As I walked through the doors of what was then The DHSS, my shoulders drooped and I felt ashamed. And for the vast majority of the people who sign on that is their personal truth. They don’t want to be there. They don’t want to sign on. They want a job. And the majority of the people who work there understand that, because most of them at some point in their life have experienced exactly the same thing. Don’t get me wrong, there are some absolute arseholes who work in jobcentres, but just like some of the arseholes who sign and don’t want to work, they are in a minority.
In the late 90’s and the very early 2000’s staff at Jobcentres had a bit of freedom to help people. As well as the staff who had their own workstation, we had another that was manned just for work queries. There was always someone who was their just to do job searches for people coming in on spec. Or people could find jobs on the stands and bring them over to the staff either on this dedicated point or if someone was free. It was good, it was human. You got to know people, there was a rapport, most of them were nice people and you knew the work they were looking for. You could have a chat and point them to something they may have missed. Or advise them what an employer was looking for. It was one human being trying to help another human being. It was a successful method. It was the way it should be.
But as the ‘efficiency savings’ came in staff levels reduced and out went that personal help that anyone could have just by walking through the door. And then came the targets.
Once you could take 15 minutes signing someone on, not long, but long enough to possibly help someone. By the end on my time there it was 5 minutes. How on earth can you meaningfully help someone find work in 5 fucking minutes? Well, you can’t. All you can do is push the allotted amount of jobs you found on the computer earlier, that vaguely meet their job search criteria, across the desk and then ask them to ‘read and sign this’. It was fucking soul destroying for both me and the people who were signing on.
It was and still is a charade. And the day I left it was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
And these efficiency savings didn’t just hit front line services. Once upon a time benefit claims were processed in house. Someone would make a claim and it would be processed in the same building. Sometimes it might take 2 days, on average in was within a week, a particularly difficult claim that needed a lot of additional evidence would take two weeks. But here is the thing, the vast amount of people making claims had just had the rug pulled out from under them. They had been made redundant or they worked in manufacturing and an order had come to an end, they were ordinary folk who life had just dealt a shitty hand. But at least there was a financial safety net for them. Admittedly not much of one, but one that kept their heads above water. And the people who processed claim did it as quickly as possible.
By the time I was leaving claims were not processed locally. It was deemed ‘more efficient’ that all claims were processed centrally in call centers. One day I lifted up and looked at a sheet of stats on a desk. What it showed was the processing rate of claims in the district I worked. It showed completion rates for claims and it literally showed hundreds of claims that had taken 1, 2 and 3 months to complete. Remember those people who had just had the rug pulled from under them ? Well now, hundreds of people in that district had to somehow survive weeks and possibly months without financial help. That sheet of paper sickened me. Mismanagement like that was just the tip of the fucking iceberg. You really don’t know the half of it.
‘Ah, yes’ I hear you cry ‘why should I care. These are just lazy chavs sponging off the state’. Well, in my experience that was not the case. The majority of people I came into contact with were just ordinary people. Ordinary folk who had just had the rug pulled out from them and just wanted to get back to work and in the meantime needed money to keep their heads above water. Money, I may add, that they were entitled to as they had been in work and paying national insurance. They had paid money into the pot, it was their time to now take some out to help them through the tough times.
Yes ‘benefit monkeys’ (as I used to refer to them) do exist. Yes, there are lazy bastards bilking the system. But not that fucking lazy. Jobseekers allowance is not that much, it is difficult to survive on. So the hardcore ‘benefit monkeys’ either had a job they did not declare or were robbing or selling drugs. And we knew who there were !
In their day, the benefit fraud department were smashing people. Your hard earned taxes were well spent on paying their wages, they were tenacious and formidable. And they fucked up many a hardcore fraudster. And then the ‘efficacy savings’ came.
Instead of them working locally they were centralized. All the local knowledge fraudsters went by the by. There was now a points system to gauge if it was financially worthwhile to investigate people.
Without giving out too much detail, using my google-fu skills I once was able to show that one claimant was working and that their other half had made thousands of pounds over the previous couple of years. Now with the new points and referral system, they would not touch it
And why does any of this matter. Well it is what the DWP and the Jobcentre has become. It is a series of governments and ministers talking tough to parliament and getting headlines in newspapers. It is putting a pound sign in front of everything and not seeing the value of things. It is not seeing the value of people. It is not seeing the people who come into Jobcentres and want to work as people, only as problems. It is not seeing the value and the skills of the people who work in Jobcentres and what they can achieve. It is government ministers pointing at one group and calling them scroungers. Then pointing at the other group and saying they are waste. Divide and conquer.
The previous poster said about Jobcentres that they are “full of clueless idiots caring about nothing but statistics”. I can certainly see why they feel that. The truth is that once the new minister for cocksucking takes over responsibility, they shout ‘shit’ and all the senior civil servants and the area managers jump on the shovel and just apply their agenda without question. The staff who work frontline are then told what they need to do, what the new whacky rules are and that is that. End of story.
The truth is the people who work there know that what they are being asked to do it is not working. They have for well over a decade. And it is getting worse.
They don’t want to sanction people and bully people. Because they know that the majority of people are just honest folk who have had the rug pulled from under their feet. So, why do they seem to be doing that ? Because of the growing myth peddled by politicians and the media that people who are unemployed and claim benefits are all scroungers. And because of that myth more and more draconian rules are applied to people claiming benefits. And from on high the people in Jobcentres are forced to apply these rules, which they know are bullshit.
The truth is that there are a lot of good people who work for the DWP and Jobcentres at the sharp end. And what is more they actually know what to do to improve the service. They know how to help people get back into work. They know how best to support people. They know how to meaningfully help and encourage people…
…It is just that nobody wants to listen to them or allow them to do it.
The system is wrong and the only way to improve it is to employ more people to do the job to genuinely help people, instead of farming that role to private companies. Private companies, I may add, that are doing a piss poor job of doing that and costing the taxpayer tens of millions a year.
It is about bringing the humanity back instead of pushing people to computer terminals and phone lines.
And most importantly it is about exploding the myth that all people who are unemployed are scroungers. They are not. | And that was just about Jobcentres…don’t get me started on sickness benefits | [

Hello reddit, I've got a question I'd appreciate answered. I've been with my gf for a total of about 3 years (2.5 in high school, 1.5 year break without dating anyone else on my part, though she did, and about 6 months back together as of now). As of lately, Ive been thinking if I really want to be with her and I can't come to a conclusion as to whether I want to be or not. We live about 2.5 hours away from eachother since I went away to college, and she's recently told me she might be moving another hour away to go to a different college than she's currently at now.
The reason this is being brought to the forefront of my life right now is because I got this app on my phone, tinder. Now as many of you may know, this is a dating app. I did not know this at the time. I had always just seen my friends say yay or nay to different ladies on it and I thought that I'd give it a shot and see what people had to say about me. Looking back on it, I was an idiot for not realizing what it was, but this morning I got a match with a pretty cute girl [24] (I'm no joseph gordon-levitt, but I'm not too bad). As soon as I tapped that little heart button after seeing her pics and reading her little bio, that screen popped up saying "Matched!" I didn't think anything of it then I got a little message from her "boo" that's all it said and that's all that's been conversed between us.
This brings me to choices. I really would like to try to hit it off with someone new, someone to get to know, someone to ask questions about, that thrill right now seems incredible, but I'm not about to be the type of man to cheat. If i'm going to be chatting up a girl with intent to do something, it's going to be her and only her.
Now as for my girlfriend, now that I objectively look at our relationship, we don't seem to honestly talk all that much in person. we watch movies when we're together or we say the same "jokes" all the time and it seems like it's just getting old. I realize that relationships are full of all the sentimental things and that's what makes them special, but a part of me feels that I'm with her just because I'm afraid to make all this time I spent with her feel "wasted". I just don't have the experience with other women to know If what I'm feeling is for "the one" or anything or if it's just because she's the best i've had compared to the rest of my non-existent (post-high school) dating history.
Reddit, this is where you come in. Ask me all the questions in the world. Try to set me straight so I know the exact things I'm feeling. I'm not looking to be told "stay with her" or "leave her". If you honestly feel that way, I'll respect and read your post so long as you have valid points. | I've been wondering if i'm staying with my gf of about 3 years total just because I'm comfortable with her or if I actually want to be with her. | [

oh god
When I went to the hospital and was put on suicide watch, I guess my blankets fell off and I was wearing just a gown and some underwear. I couldn't find my blanket because I was in a really bad daze when I woke up.
Just some background info, I have the worst morning wood ever. It's like viagraX10 and I fucking hate it.
Here's where it gets bad. The whole time I was sleeping, I had someone watching me because obviously, when someone is put on suicide watch they make someone watch you. Oh and here's the worst part, I found out later that they were all were female and that they switched shifts every 3 hours or so. So multiple gals were present. | Had FULL visible morning wood that multiple girls saw while I was in the hospital. | [

So I'm not gonna lie, this game has been crazy. I've never felt this way about an MMO since Guild Wars.
Or that WoW beta I was in, as I never paid to play that game. (Was a poor teen then.)
But the queue line has been killing me!
HOWEVER.
I HAVE FOUND A REMARKABLE SOLUTION.
So nearly everyone now-a-days has these nifty devices called Phones that let you install almost any application onto them. I myself have a wonderful Samsung Galaxy S4 with a lovely cracked screen! ( It's Gorgeous! )
With my particular device (I'll call him Timmy from now on) I am able to remotely control my home computer with a friendly little app called Teamviewer.
-[PlayStore link for the lazy.](
-[Windows link for the uber lazy.](
Timmy can combo this application with a familiar application named Glyph which allows Timmy to significantly decrease the cast-time of the skill called "ArchePlay" once my "AFK" Debuff is off. Pretty much also makes the debuff "ArcheQueue" non-existent.
Hope this tip helps you out in your ArcheAge journeys and Thieveries!
- | Use team-viewer on your phone to get in queue 2-3 hours before you get home from work. Go "poop" or something before you go home to load up glyph, and get in line. | [

First time poster here, after lurking for the past 3 weeks. I'll add a few more stories later.
Background:
2012 - I was a recent Electrical Engineering graduate who due to unavoidable circumstances had to work at an electronics store as a part of, lets call them "Nerd Troop", you may recognize them as the guys in black ties. We do tech and basic hardware support for electronics bought from our stores. Now I am not an expert but years of setting up personal networks, custom desktops, small servers and programming here and there makes me more than qualified to work there. Unfortunately for me, coffee was not allowed outside of the break room.
Story:
It was the middle of the day and I was completing a standard "transfer data from old laptop to newly bought laptop". Get a call from a client and turns out its the arrogant lady (AL) who's computer I'm working on.
>Me: Hello, this is dingobarbie at Nerd Troop.
>AL: Hi, I have a new computer there being set up under the name <AL>. Is it ready?
>Me: Almost done Ma'am. I'm working on your data backup as we speak. You will be able to pick it up today.
Note:
At the store, customers pay for a data back up of their old files to an external HDD or a transfer to a new computer (or both). Unless specified by the client we do not create back up images or compressed back ups. As default we copy all required files into a folder on the external or to the equivalent folders in the new computer. Either way it's the same SKU on the receipt and all Nerd Troops know to clarify before we take in a computer. It costs a $100 (yes I know, highway robbery, but for average LUsers it is quite hard to do).
>AL: No, No I asked for a transfer not a back up.
>Me: My mistake Ma'am. A transfer is what we are doing. It's called a Data Backup in our system so I used the wrong term, an error on my part. So don't worry we are doing exactly as you asked.
>AL: I don't think you are. I'm sure you're doing it wrong. I want to able to access my files individually without having to load from a backup file or whatever.
>Me: Trust me Ma'am, that is exactly what I am doing.
>AL: I don't think you know what you're doing.
Now I was a little hurt at being accused of that (I was new to the job), but most of our customers know squat about computers so I'm sure she was just anxious because she paid a $100 and wanted every bang for her buck. I excused her rudeness and clarified.
>Me: I assure you we are not doing a back up into one file or image as you say, but transferring your files to your new computer and external HDD to be accessible as individual files within their own folders.
>AL: Look, I have a Degree in Science and Engineering . I know the difference between a back up and a transfer. I'm sure when I get there it will be all wrong.
>-click-
Well so did I! I wanted to slam the phone down. Why was she paying us $100 to do this and then rudely accusing us of not knowing how ourselves, when she should have been more than able to do it herself? Ruined my day by reminding me my degree wasn't really doing much for me at the time. Couldn't wait for my break. | Lady with Engineering Degree waste of 4 years pays us too much money to transfer data, and then refuses to accept we know how.
P.S. my username comes from [here](

Yesterday I went out to eat with some new acquaintances I met in guesthouse. Two girls and one guy. The girls were showing some interests but nothing groundbreaking, and I’m not yet good at building attraction, especially in a group setting. We were walking on a busy street, the 2 girls walking behind us, the guy and I walking in front. I suddenly approach some cute girl standing by telling her the usual “Hi / How are you / I just had to come over to tell you I find a very cute”. Then I tell her I’ll let her go because my friends are waiting for me. And they were. Both girls were all like “What? Do you know her? What did you tell her?” I just laughed and responded “I don’t know”. One of the girls suddenly started touching my chest, shoulders, my arms. That was an interesting reaction. The other girl is more of a intellectual type of girl and I think she was trying to gain my approval but in a more subtle way. Sadly, nothing happened from all this….I don’t know how to capitalize on those opportunities yet. Fear is holding me back. | Two girls suddenly acting all attracted to me after they saw me approach a random girl on the street. I didn’t capitalize on it because I suck at game. What can I do today to push things forward with either of them? Is it even still possible or the window is already shut
Also, there’s another girl in my dorm I think I have a shot. We smile and greet each other. We talk just a bit. I’m thinking about using the apocalypse opener on her. What else do you suggest? She has a cock-block friend. | [

I was really nervous about posting this (I'm the definition of a lurker). BUT I worked really hard making pretty much everything for this, which has helped immensely with my depression. Instead of being nervous about what internet strangers might say, I need to be proud of the work put in!
I made the holster webbing (still waiting for actual holsters), skirt (which unfortunately isn't pictured), ascot, and even my modified Nerf gun painted to look more natural!
Budget doesn't allow for a Skyhook just yet, but i'm excited to get my hands on one! | Worked hard on this, helped depression. Here's pictures to show myself I can accomplish stuff.
Edit:
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you so much everyone!!! Everyone in this subreddit is one of the biggest reasons I love r/BioShock so much! Friendliest community on reddit by far!
All of your nice comments mean the entire world to me.
All of you have literally made my year! | [

It's pretty hard to peacefully build a base, especially in crowded servers. And since there isn't SinglePlayer to test bases quietly, there should be something done about it imo.
Build mode is a toggled state in which you can't attack other players while they can't hurt you as well. Think of it as a safe time or "break" from the rest of the world. There could be a wait time before entering Build Mode like for example 1 minute so people won't abuse that to get out of fights. And there could be a duration of 15 mins and a cooldown of 5 mins. It can only be used 2 Times a day. Ofc people will find a way to abuse it as always, other than that i think it's an idea to at least think about. | Build mode is where u can build safely without interruptions.
EDIT: this would work best in modded servers where there's a shitload of C4, so bases will have to be Much larger. | [

I don't need a gang of goons (and don't try to portray the government as anything else) to come to my house and harass me into paying into a system with which I don't necessarily agree.
How often have we seen a statement like this from libertarians?
Thing is, that's not at all the way it works. Not that I'm advocating this, but you can string the IRS up by its own bureaucracy for years without paying a dime in taxes. That's not even going to court for anything, just filling paperwork to delay the IRS, thus forcing a response that takes weeks or months, and then a response back of your own, etc. Eventually, they'll come down on you, but it's entirely workable. Politicians and celebrities are often revealed to owe millions in back taxes, and they still manage to stay out of jail.
Even if you do go to court, the bureaucracy works in your favor. Look at Irwin Schiff's (Peter Schiff's tax-evading dad) [record of convictions]( He sends falseified 1040 forms in 1974 and 1975, and nothing happens. In 1978, he goes on NBC and brags about how he hoodwinked the IRS. Only then do they do anything. He's convicted, but calls for a mistrial. The retrial doesn't find him guilty until 1981, seven years after the act.
He doesn't bother filing for 1980-1982--yes, you do still file taxes while in prison, and his company was still making money on his behalf. He isn't convicted of that until 1985 and goes to prison until 1993.
Later, he files false returns for the years 1997-2002, and also aides others in filing false returns. He isn't convicted of that until 2006. | Irwin Schiff was an obviously guilty serial tax evader, but still had many years of freedom while he strings the government along. | [

Quick recap of one of my approaches tonight. I eye an awesome looking girl walking out of the bathroom and I approach. The interaction lasts about a minute and a half and out of anxiety I fumble by going for the #-close way too early, for no reason. I get turned down. Even though she turns me down, she is still standing in front of me, eyes wide, smiling and really holding my passionate gaze. She was definitely invested in the interaction because she was also asking me questions and giving me multiple sentence responses(as opposed to just "yea", "sure", etc...), all very clear IOIs because I opened very direct. I dip for no reason with my tail in between my legs.
I have heard similar things before. It has happened to me but it really hit home tonight. It is that if a woman is still standing in front of you, its still "on". I realized tonight that I've blown myself out a lot in the past by just leaving an interaction. A woman rejects your advance, whether it be for the number, the kiss, the f-close, or not reciprocating kino, and you dip out. Maybe the conversation just dies out really early on and you decide to leave(this is what has happened to me the most). It is your job to not blow yourself out like this. She blows you out. If the woman wasn't interested, she would walk away. It is crucial to stay in the interaction through these moments of tension. If a woman isn't responding to your move but she still remains in the interaction, she is just pacing you. Wait a little longer and go for it again. It seems like sometimes a girl will also be responding and reciprocating well and then go cold. Stick it out, keep it going. Stay in the interaction. I think this is what they call "plowing".
On a sidenote, it seems to me that anxiety is expressed in 3 ways. Physically, verbally, and through action.

It seems fundamental to quell these, and I have. No matter how nervous or anxious I am, my body language and eye contact is strong, and my tonality and speaking is firm and without nervous laughter.

I'll make a stupid move(like I did in the above interaction) and knowing its stupid, I still do it. Its like I am not in complete control, just like people who experience uncontrollable eye darting, gyrating, etc. The anxiety makes me feel like I'm watching myself vicariously as it happens. Maybe this is what they refer to as "state control". Any input from experienced people is much appreciated! | read the post, its 3 paragraphs | [

"content": "Quick recap of one of my approaches tonight. I eye an awesome looking girl walking out of the bathroom and I approach. The interaction lasts about a minute and a half and out of anxiety I fumble by going for the #-close way too early, for no reason. I get turned down. Even though she turns me down, she is still standing in front of me, eyes wide, smiling and really holding my passionate gaze. She was definitely invested in the interaction because she was also asking me questions and giving me multiple sentence responses(as opposed to just \"yea\", \"sure\", etc...), all very clear IOIs because I opened very direct. I dip for no reason with my tail in between my legs. \n I have heard similar things before. It has happened to me but it really hit home tonight. It is that if a woman is still standing in front of you, its still \"on\". I realized tonight that I've blown myself out a lot in the past by just leaving an interaction. A woman rejects your advance, whether it be for the number, the kiss, the f-close, or not reciprocating kino, and you dip out. Maybe the conversation just dies out really early on and you decide to leave(this is what has happened to me the most). It is your job to not blow yourself out like this. She blows you out. If the woman wasn't interested, she would walk away. It is crucial to stay in the interaction through these moments of tension. If a woman isn't responding to your move but she still remains in the interaction, she is just pacing you. Wait a little longer and go for it again. It seems like sometimes a girl will also be responding and reciprocating well and then go cold. Stick it out, keep it going. Stay in the interaction. I think this is what they call \"plowing\". \n On a sidenote, it seems to me that anxiety is expressed in 3 ways. Physically, verbally, and through action. Physically by gyrating, scratching, quick movements, shaking, dodgy eye contact, bad body language, etc. Verbally through bad, shaky and/or weak tonality, quick speaking, and nervous laughter. It seems fundamental to quell these, and I have. No matter how nervous or anxious I am, my body language and eye contact is strong, and my tonality and speaking is firm and without nervous laughter. I'm now to a point where I am very much in control in this regard. But the anxiety, while not as bad as it had been in the past, is still in my head and reflects through my actions. I'll make a stupid move(like I did in the above interaction) and knowing its stupid, I still do it.

Our last post had some mistakes so we are deleting and reposting.
Hello /r/fakeid!
We are Element Fakes! We are a small team that has been vending in California for close to a year, and we think it is time to bring our business to this subreddit.
We currently produce Utah fake IDs, but other states will soon be available to purchase as well.
Our Utah fake is top notch, and it has every security feature real Utah IDs have (we rated the quality of each feature of our cards out of 5):
5/5 UV
5/5 Holograms
3/5 Faux Microprint (We use a very high DPI printer)
4/5 Perforation
5/5 Barcodes (Pass advance scanners)
What makes us different is our turnaround time. When you order and pay, your ID (or IDs) will be in the mail within 24 hours . This means that you will receive your fake in 3 to 4 days after payment is received. As far as we know this is the one of fastest turnaround times on this subreddit. Additionally, since we are just getting started here, we are capping our first round of orders at 100 IDs.
We will be charging $150 per ID (and cheaper for group orders; check our website), because of premium product and shipping times.
[Front]( / [Holograms]( / [Perforation]( / UV pics will be up soon
You can submit your orders on our website here: **[elementfakes.com]( When you finish submitting your orders, shoot us an email so we can get you started with shipping info and payment instructions.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to PM us here or email us at [email protected].
We look forward to improving our reputation on this sub! Thanks guys!
-- Element Fakes | 150 Utah ID with UV, holograms, near-microprint, and perforation, at your doorstep in 4 days.
EDIT: We are also selecting 8 people for review copies. PM us if you want one. Review copies are all gone. | [

Renly seemed less showy and smarter in the books than he did in the show. so if anyone here hasn't read the books and thinks that he didn't have what it took to be king, that might be why. in the shows he just seemed more like a privileged kid who grew up and didn't have any responsibility. that's not to say that he is perfect in the books cuz he still acted kinda immature especially when he was about to go to war.
I don't think he would have made a great king, but he would have at least cared about the people more than Cersei and he wouldn't have made some of the dumb decisions she made, especially in later books. so he would have definitely been a better ruler than she was.
whether or not the realm would have prospered is a different question. he would probably have been able to defeat Rob, but that would have dragged out the war because he wouldn't have done it like Tywin, this would have created a lotta conflict in the riverlands, and the Iron Fleet would have just fucked everyone over because they would flourish under that chaos. Renly winning over King's Landing would have also destroyed the Lannisters, so this means Casterly Rock is fucked and with it one of the biggest port cities in the kingdom. that would have sucked for the kingdom too. also, I can't help but feel like Renly wouldn't have done a lot of the ruling. Cersei was really concerned with not giving the Tyrells too much power and I don't think Renly would have been as spiteful. He'd still have control, but I think the Tyrells would do a lot of the work too. | Renly would have been better than Cersei, but he wouldn't feel like a king (lot of advisors) and his rule would have seen just as much, if not more, destruction on the kingdom although not all of it his fault.
Just my opinion. | [

Committing reddit suicide here, by posting a rational argument that disagrees with the OP.
Both the Dalton and the Zephyr are bombs of a sort, so you are not really asking SOE to introduce a whole new game mechanic, you are just asking them to make bombs more powerful. Obviously, they can't just make a better Dalton, so you suggest bombs that are more powerful but have some other drawbacks. So what are the drawbacks you suggest?
Hard to aim: you want dumb bombs that can only be dropped, not shot. This is a boring mechanic for the gunner. For teams of people who work together and practice, this will probably be an OK mechanic. For pubbies in your squad, or randoms at the warp gate, this is going to be extremely frustrating. "OK, drop, drop, Drop, DROP!!!! Why didn't you drop the bomb on that line of prowlers?"
rarity: Make the bombs more expensive and give fewer of them per run. First of all, the rarity mechanic does not make for good game play. Imagine, there was an ability where you could choose someone's name from a list and kill that person instantly. There is no way that you can take this OP mechanic and make it fun. When you get killed by it, you're not going to laugh and say, "Well, at least they can only do that once a day." Or, "Hey, they had to spend 2 bucks to kill, me so that's fair." Expensive, rare events don't make for fun game play. They are an easy way out for the people who use them and extremely frustrating for their victims. Plus, there is no way I am going to let a pubbie drop a bomb that I paid money, or even resources for. So bombs will pretty much be limited to outfit mates and/or people who have experience playing together. So bombs will out of reach for a large number of people who play this game.
Friendly fire: It sounds like you are suggesting bombs with large Area of Effect (AOE) damage. Unless you require a certain level or certification to be able to drop bombs, most of the players in this game are so bad that they will probably kill add many friendlies with these bombs as they do enemies. You can expect all of the associated TK revenge kill drama that goes along with it.
Finally, you can already bomb in this game, dive bomb an MBT, fire a magazine of your tankbuster into them, pull your nose up and your gunner can get one or two Dalton shots before you fly out of range. With practice you can kill MBTs that way in one pass. If you want something that makes it easier to take out enemy armor than that, I think that thing would be OP and no matter how rare or expensive you make it, won't make it fun. | bombs that are better at killing tanks than the Dalton, or better at killing infantry than the Zephyr would be OP and hard to balance in a way that encourages fun game play. | [

Err, 450 mg is a LOT to snort! It certainly would be active but you're going to end up with a whole hell of a crap load of powder up your nose.
I'm also relatively certain that pregabalin is really exceedingly bioavailable when you orally ingest it. Perhaps snorting would make the high come on faster but I highly doubt it would make the high any stronger. | It's safe but it's gonna be pretty damn uncomfortable and it won't get you any higher. | [

My friends and I go to holly michigan the other day to enjoy the festival. I live in lansing so its a short drive over. We have bags of brownies and rock candy. I had so many at one point i had to tell my friend to stop letting me eat them or i would feel to lost. by 3pm i was at [9]. i ended up eating a half rack of delicious ribs smothered in BBQ sauce. I got it all down my shirt and all over my face and i didnt care what people thought. As i was walking thru the vendors i couldnt shake the feeling of being lost and everything being really vivid and funny. If anyone has gone to the festival and holly im sure you know what "trust the pirate" means. I go inside the ship/building to buy some lottery tickets from a pirate chick. I was just expecting it to be a quick thing..... I went to ask her for a price and she said i had to "bribe" her. she was looking FINE in a pirate outfit. i reach into my pocket and stick a 5 between her breasts as she requested. she then puts the tickets in her teeth for me to grab with my teeth and our noses touched.... At that moment it was the best day ive ever had high. Then i went to the auction and bought a game of thrones wall mount for 200 bucks.. (never go to a auction high)..... | i had a really really good day while high and i recommend going here if you go to michigan. | [

The Oscars are inherently flawed in this regard. I wish we could get over the psychology of having to have one singular 'best'. Or we just acknowledge that the films nominated are the real winners and singular 'best' is an antiquated idea. | Movies are too big for singular winners. | [

Posted this before, but here goes:
One time in high school I had just finished smoking and having a couple beers with some friends before I headed home. We had been hoping to attempt a complicated senior prank on our prude of a Christian school, but were caught by security, and told to go home. I was pretty disappointed.
Anyways, I was flying home in my old Tahoe as I passed a police station. I passed this place pretty often, never saw any cops lazy enough to camp there for speeders, and figured I was fine. Not tonight.
Quickly after passing him I knew I had two decisions: A) pull over and maybe hope he doesn't smell the alcohol on my breath or weed in my car, or B) Run like a motherfucker.
I chose the latter, increasing my speed to about 70 on a street with a 35 MPH limit. I quickly swerved off onto another street, hoping to evade him. However, as I drove along this street, I realized that the only intersections on this street led to dead ends. So I sped up, and got into the oncoming lane to pass a slow moving car in front of me. Again, I was young, and very stupid.
Turns out that car was also a cop. Shit. I swerved into one of the cul-de-sacs, pulled into a driveway, and cut off my lights.
Of course they found me. As the cop pulled up and walked to the door, I thought fast. Really fast. His first question was obvious, and in a thick Texas accent, "Why were you going 70 in a 35, and why did you try to run away from us?"
"I'm sorry sir, I'm diabetic, and pulled over here to call my parents and tell them about my low blood sugar." To clarify, I am not diabetic. However, my brother and father have Type 1 Diabetes, so I know a little on the subject.
At first he didn't believe me, but when I reached for my registration and one of my brother's insulin shots fell out of the glove box, I think he got a little scared. "So, do you need insulin, or what?" he asked me.
"Uhhh...no, that's for a high blood sugar, I need candy. Do you have any candy?" He cocked his head to the side, "No. Could you go stand by my partner while I search your car?"
Shit. He's gonna find the pot. I just know it. I walk over to his partner and basically repeat the same story while the first guy goes through my shit. However, after a few minutes, he walks back over to me, "Didn't find anything." Phew. "So, do you want to call your parents now? We can talk to them for you." Phuck.
I pull out my phone, wondering who I can call that will pretend to be my mom or dad. I really can't think of anyone.
"Or we could escort you to the corner store, get you some sugar."
"Sounds good to me!" I throw my phone in the car and get in. We drive down the street, cop car in front of and behind me, and pull up at the gas station. I still can't believe he didn't find the pot.
We both walk into the corner store, and I grab a pack of lifesavers. The cop grabs a diet coke and we walk to the cashier. I put the candy down and pull out my wallet, but he stops me, "I got this. Now just eat that, wait a few minutes for the sugar to absorb, and drive home." He shakes my hand. "Have a good night."
And then he was gone. I sat there for a few seconds, dumbfounded, before I called my brother and apologized profusely for using his illness in such a way haha. He was more impressed than anything though, and thankful for the idea should he run into a similar situation. | Not only did I drive twice the speed limit under the influence of alcohol and weed, try to get away from the cops, and blow through a couple stop signs in the process without getting arrested, I got free candy.
EDIT: Don't drink and drive, ever. | [

Edit 2: went on the date and had an awesome time!!! I'm so glad I didn't let anxiety or contest photos get in the way. Thanks Reddit!!!
edit: thanks to everyone's advice and helping me understand how body building works. flipping through his other pics also helped reassure that he still looks like the guy I met a couple weeks ago. I'm gonna do my best to meet up with him tonight
So a couple weeks ago I met a guy at a music festival just briefly, but we hit it off pretty well and he asked for my number. It was pretty funny then, he had packed his own lunch of all this really healthy stuff, and told me he works out/body builds. Cool.
We have a date scheduled tonight, and just a few days ago he added me on facebook but I never really checked him out there. I've been waffling a bit on going on this date (thanks, anxiety) so to stem my fears I went to his facebook to reassure myself. Bad idea, apparently, because I saw all his bodybuilding pics. At first I thought it had to be a joke, the guy in the pictures looked nothing like him- weirdly brown, huge bulging muscles everywhere- I gagged, seriously gagged.
With clothes on, I mean, he looks fine. Looks strong, but obviously I liked what I saw the first time I met him. But now... I don't know. I don't know all that much about bodybuilding, but is it just the flexing that makes him look that way? I feel shallow for wanting to cancel our date because of this, but I don't find the hulkingly muscular body type attractive at ALL. | saw body building' beau's fully built body, not a fan. is it shallow to break it off before it has a chance to happen? | [

I don't know all that much about bodybuilding, but is it just the flexing that makes him look that way? I feel shallow for wanting to cancel our date because of this, but I don't find the hulkingly muscular body type attractive at ALL.",

I'm fine with challenging content, as in "here's some crazy mechanics you and your team will have to deal with or else you'll wipe and have to start all over again!"
What I don't like is the grinds. Yes, I am a veteran of RPGs and I know there are plenty of grinds. Either level grinding to get past a certain boss or dungeon or else item drop grinding to get that Infinity +1 Sword
But this game, especially post-50, seems to be almost nothing but grinds. Grind # of dungeons here, wait for hours for this FATE to spawn there, SB grind a bunch of 45+ gear in hopes of getting some good materia, etc. This sort of content to me just seems an artificial way of extending the play time, and I suppose for a pay by month MMO, that makes a lot of business sense.
But again, it's an artificial challenge. In fact, it's not a challenge at all (other than to your patience and sanity). In older console RPGs, you might have to item grind to get that 1/256 drop, but even then, the game only had a handful of those and you never really needed them to beat the game, it was just a goal for completionists or those who'd like a little more "oomph" in those final battles. | Remember farming Pink Puffs (Pudding Princesses) for those Pink Tails in FFIV? Well this game seems to have a lot of post-50 content consisting of a lot of that sort of grind for "optional" gear that isn't really all that optional if you expect to get into (let alone complete) any of the higher level stuff.
Though I am glad at least that there are three main paths to improve your weapon, so at least you aren't stuck doing one path over the others, though with the rest of the equipment you are pretty much stuck on one path realistically speaking (AF gear -> Sold Gear/ST Gear -> Poetics Gear and/or Coil Gear). | [

What do you guys do when the amount of items in your inv, in this case sc2 capsules, is higher than the amount available on the market?
Among my alts I have around 650 sc2 capsules, currently there are 500 left on the market. I am sure the amount will increase a bit in the next few days, but still: what should I do here.
I bought the capsules on average for 1 euro so I already made a nice profit. My initial plan was to wait till they hit 6 euro's when the crown foil hits max market, but I feel that I should change my view on the investment when I own more items than available on market. Any experience? | I have a shitload of sc2 capsules, what to do with it? | [

A combination of never living in one country for five years (dad, big business), overprotectve parents and disrupted schooling, genetics that led to me being put on prescription pills at age 8, most of which have done more harm than good (now left with only Xanax and Adderall, though rarely using either), winding up in the psych war after the suicide attempt, and my parents being too busy or to messed up themselves to be able to help me, I am wondering why the fuck life is worth living.
I am enrolling in Community Collge (Need 2+ years of math to continue in my CS degree, left the 4 year)
Looking for a part time job (left my last one early to go to the psych ward, no computer place near me is hiring)
Working on getting my license at age 20 (I know, I lived in the wrong countries at tge wrong times)
Hating myself for being a virgin even though I'm not un-attractive. Literally what I hate about me the most.
Generally a part of the detached rich. | Is life really worth living? | [

I have the book. If you really want me to pick it up and find you (type you) text from it, I will, but please don't make me as it's over 1000 pages long. I can narrow it down to the chapter, but it's very dense material.
I can say, in summary, that the tipping point that caused bin Laden to declare war on the West was Desert Storm. He felt it an offense to the Muslim world for a Western state to defend a Muslim one.
And as for one quote, in fact, I have a video that I will find for you and describes one of the relevant interactions. It's too easy for me to just post you a quote so that you can take my word for it and not learn the context of it. So..
Here will compel you to..
[This]( The starting point of the lecture. Or if you're a fan..
[Noam Chomsky's 17 minute introduction](
By the end of this lecture, I was very compelled to buy the book, linked above, even having never heard of the guy before. The only reason I even found this was from searching the web for Chomsky lectures.
Anyway, to address your question, it's true that bin Laden sought to retaliate for the deaths of innocents in the Muslim world. But the difference -- Neocons often forget -- was in the motives. Now, I don't have any doubts that Bush is one of millions in America who believe that America is a Christian nation, and therefore we're fighting bin Laden as a crusade against Islamic extremism. Murder, torture, etc. in the name of Christiandom, of course, is USA, stars-and-stripes and apple pie. But such with the diversity of America, right? Well of course a lot of us (perhaps a lot more than them) are firm in the conviction that we're a secular country, and that we deserve justice for attacks against us the same as it's our duty to openly address the injustice we've committed overseas.
[ | EDIT: I see bin Laden as a false prophet and a cult leader who preached of violence and fear as a means to an end, rather than using reason and cooperation. We, of course, have very similar ideologues in our country today, but they haven't waged a personal war that has killed 3000 innocent people, just to make a point.
If you watch the lecture, before the point that I linked you first in fact, Fisk admits that in his extensive experience covering events of his time in the Middle East, along with history (he has an entire chapter dedicated on the Armenian genocide), how amazed he is at the restraint the Muslim world has shown us over the years. | [

I don't understand why people are saying that OP shouldn't be loosening up his quads /hip flexors; his imbalance appears to be coming from the glutes/hammies, if his hip flexors are tight (which are the antagonists to the glutes/hammies), then any time he activates those posterior muscles he is fighting the tension in the hip flexors. If you loosen up the hip flexors then the glutes can properly fire. It's the same reason why most posterior neck and shoulder tension is caused by tight pecs.
As far as foam rolling goes, I can only speak from my experience with various doctors and PTs at a rehab clinic. Foam rolling steam rolls metabolic waste out of the muscles back into the bloodstream so your body can process them. Screw the endorphin release associated, there is a quantifiable difference in ROM with patients, and it's a damn good way for them to work on this stuff themselves. Is it a cure all? Hell no, but with proper stretching and postural imbalance exercises, you can make some big changes. | Stretch the hip flexors, learn how to engage the glutes/hammies, and foam rollers are the shit | [

I grew up in a household where we didn't go to church and my family rarely mentioned religion. I am sure I asked questions about religion in preschool, mine was located in the basement of a church, but I don't remember those questions or the answers.
The first time I can really remember having Christianity explained to me was at a lunch table, funny enough by a friend named Christian. It was around Christmas time and when he asked something about Jesus I asked him to explain it all to me.
I don't remember how he explained it but I do remember laughing and making fun of him for believing it in, I was in 3rd or 4th grade so not very mature. What I remember thinking was it was nothing more than another part of the Santa story that no one had ever told me which is what made it so funny to me that he completely believed it still at that age and didn't understand it was just told to him by his parents to make him behave. This was also the same year a couple Jewish boys transferred in and I remember many people making fun of them for wearing the "Jewish hats".
The next thing I remember where I really sat down and thought about religion is when I checked out the bible from my school library in the 7th grade. My reading level had capped out what was considered the high school level and it was rated that high so I decided to read it. I understood enough to get a 90 something percent on the test and still thought it just didn't make sense to me at all how people could believe it.
My first real experience in a church service was during 8th grade when my choir group took a trip to Chicago to sing in a cathedral during a Catholic mass. I remember thinking it was one of the weirdest and creepiest things I had ever seen.
High school religion never really came into play or was discussed, none of the people I talked to really cared to discuss it other than I remember one friend mentioning he was an atheist which caused me to go home and look it up.
The first college I attended was in the bible belt which solidified the fact I don't like religions at all. Becoming friends with a VERY devout Mormon who quickly threw threw away her religion when it didn't allow her to be as free as she wanted. Working and every day being asked if I am Christian and either answer ending with a discussion of religion. I had coworkers tell me they would vote for anyone for president over and atheist and one even try to convert me, he didn't do it forcefully or meanly mostly nice discussions which I really did like.
My story of telling my family I was an atheist isn't as dramatic as some. I told my family I was an ordained minister now and they freaked out a bit thinking I went super religious the moment I went to college. I told them it was from a website and I was an Athiest and they asked if that was Christian. When I explained what it was their response was "Don't be like that." I laughed it off and it has never caused a problem since.
Recently I changed schools to one farther north and ended up taking a Chinese and Japanse religion class which the teacher ties into Christianity some so when talking to friends from class it has come up I am an atheist. Never been a problem and if anything gets me involved a lot more in religious and political discussions to get different points of view which is always interesting. | Originally thought Christianity was an extension of the Santa story parents told children. Family really didn't care. Being an atheist in the south is not fun and it is much better for me personally farther north.

When I explained what it was their response was \"Don't be like that.\" I laughed it off and it has never caused a problem since. \n Recently I changed schools to one farther north and ended up taking a Chinese and Japanse religion class which the teacher ties into Christianity some so when talking to friends from class it has come up I am an atheist. Never been a problem and if anything gets me involved a lot more in religious and political discussions to get different points of view which is always interesting.",

Hi everyone,
This week I have been volunteering in VBS (vacation bible school). I'm a team leader and get to be in charge of a couple kids. I started off with 5 the first day. They ranged from 3-10 yr olds and it went better than expected. Yesterday, though, was a different story. Two of my kids didn't come (probably cuz the parents didn't like the lesson, but that's a different story) dropping me down to 3 older kids, two girls and one boy. Now my boy and one of the girls are very quiet and well behaved. My 8 yr old, on the other hand, is a nightmare. She doesn't listen for anything. She starts fights with the other kids, hits them, calls them stupid and dumb, tries to boss everyone around and is very possessive. Did I mention she's loud and ghetto too? Every team leader made a sign for their teams and she hogs the sign and won't let anyone else have it, even me. She doesn't like me because she had to give the sign back.
I've tried just about everything to keep her in line and nothing works. Even one of the other adults stepped in to help and no deal. This is where ya'll come in. How do I get this little brat to behave? Today is day 3 and I have til Friday with these kids. I need your help, and stat! | Need to know how to put 8 yr old brat in line. | [

I don't like either song. I don't necessarily think either is terrible in terms of lyrical content.
That said, I think you miss out on some key differences in lyrics as well as differences in the ways that the songs are marketed (music videos, etc.). People's complaints re: Blurred Lines was not because of that one line.
Bang Bang:
The music video mostly focuses on the three singers as the objects of power and desire. There are a few other shots of other attractive men/women, but the focus is on the singers themselves.
The follow up line to "I know you want it" is "I'll let you have it". She is making herself available to the suitor, not forcing herself on him.
There is also a line that says "See anybody could be bad to you, / You need a good girl to blow your mind, yeah" (switches between bad/good made throughout song)
Ariana Grande's line is probably seen as the grossest "She mighta let you hold her hand in school, but I'mma show you how to graduate / No, I don't need to hear you talk the talk, just come and show me what your mamma gave (oh, yeah) / (You've got a very big shhhh, mouth but don't say a thing)"
Blurred Lines:
The music video mostly focuses on naked women (not singing) as the objects of desire, and the male singer as the one with power
Other lyrics include "Just let me liberate you" (why does she need another man to "liberate" her?), "Talk about gettin blasted / I hate these blurred lines" (implication that she is wasted and unable to consent)
Robin Thicke has done and said other things that make the public see him as more unsavory.
Of course, we can't deny that men and women are presented and seen differently in media. When enacting 'traditional' gender roles (man as aggressive pursuer, woman as passive recipient), many people are critical of that because of the way it has historically been used as a power imbalance. When reversing those roles, some of the same people celebrate it because it is the opposite of what has historically been expected. | Why did I spend so much time on these two dumb songs | [

She is making herself available to the suitor, not forcing herself on him. \n There is also a line that says \"See anybody could be bad to you, / You need a good girl to blow your mind, yeah\" (switches between bad/good made throughout song) \n Ariana Grande's line is probably seen as the grossest \"She mighta let you hold her hand in school, but I'mma show you how to graduate / No, I don't need to hear you talk the talk, just come and show me what your mamma gave (oh, yeah) / (You've got a very big shhhh, mouth but don't say a thing)\" \n \n Blurred Lines: \n \n The music video mostly focuses on naked women (not singing) as the objects of desire, and the male singer as the one with power \n Other lyrics include \"Just let me liberate you\" (why does she need another man to \"liberate\" her?), \"Talk about gettin blasted / I hate these blurred lines\" (implication that she is wasted and unable to consent) \n Robin Thicke has done and said other things that make the public see him as more unsavory. \n \n Of course, we can't deny that men and women are presented and seen differently in media. When enacting 'traditional' gender roles (man as aggressive pursuer, woman as passive recipient), many people are critical of that because of the way it has historically been used as a power imbalance. When reversing those roles, some of the same people celebrate it because it is the opposite of what has historically been expected.",

Manchester United's keeper, David de Gea, has been rumored to be going to Real Madrid this summer. He apparently wants to leave Manchester to go to Madrid, and with only a year remaining on his contract, a lot of people are suggesting that Manchester United should sell him now rather than risk losing him for nothing in a year. I think that would be a bad decision.
First off, if Manchester United keep him and make him play out his contract, it gives them extra time to negotiate and try to convince him to say. Sometimes players change their minds, and having more time to convince him will increase the chances of him choosing to sign a new contract.
Second, even if Manchester United were to sell him this summer, the money received wouldn't be that much. Real Madrid are rumored to be willing to pay £12-15 million, which is less than the £18 million paid for him initially, and only a drop in the bucket in the scheme of the £100-150 million that Manchester United is said to have available for spending this summer.
Third, he's really good, and having him in goal for even just one more season would be worth it. He was the top goalkeeper in the Premier League this year, and without his performances, there's no way Manchester United would have finished in the top four and qualified for the Champions League (which is worth £100 million+). Although the team should hopefully be better next season with the expected spending this summer, having de Gea greatly increases the odds of finishing in the top four again next season or mounting a title challenge. Also, Manchester United will likely have to play a qualifying tie to get into the Champions League group. This two game qualification fixture will possibly be against a very good club from a top league like La Liga, Serie A, or the Bundesliga. Winning that fixture would be worth tens of millions (or more) in revenue for playing the Champions League, and the odds of winning are much better with de Gea in goal rather than a new signing or the current backup, Victor Valdes. | There's not much to gain for Manchester United by selling de Gea now, but keeping him for the last year of his contract could be beneficial, especially as it gives you more time to try to resign him. | [

The Network seems to be down every now and then in the last few weeks, but in the last few days it just reached a new lowpoint. Maybe it is because of my Location (Sweden) or something like that, but in the last few days i could only invite my friends and play a pub if I've been lucky. I know I don't really have the right to complain since the game is free to play, but in all honesty this is just bad for the game too. How would want to play a game where the servers are unstable constantly, making you unable to play properly in the (probably) little time you have for it. What if this game was a game you'd need to pay for? I can tell you that no one would buy it if they'd hear how bad the servers are.
I'm surprised that no one else has been complaining here lately.
I know that dota has a lot of players and the servers have to be huge, but Valve should've expected something like this. I am just negatively surprised how long it takes for them to fix this, especially since i heard that the Sea servers had this problem for a much much longer time. | Valve get your shit together and fix the servers, this is hurting the growth of the game and the already existing community
Go ahead and downvote valveknights, because that way they will never fix it.

Ok, a bit of backstory beforehand. I was in college and i was seeing this girl. I've struggled a bit with depression at home and i was finally getting out of my 5 year funk with the help of friendships i had made at the college and a relationship with a girl who liked me for me.
Then i got appendicitis.
Nearly died, got a good sized scar, and was sent home a month and a half early by my doctor. My home is a fair distance from where i was staying for college and two months (holidays included) is a long time.
Long story short a "friend" of mine started going out with this girl and i was really broken up about it. My mood fell and i began missing out on some college days, just struggling to get up in the morning. I was texting my best friend (lets call him Gary) at the time near constantly, just trying to hold onto the fact that this person liked me enough to at least read my texts and assure me that i still had a friend.
Start summer and i go home, get a job as a labourer and put my heart and soul into it. I start getting better, having something to focus on. Im still texting Gary and several other friends. I decide to go back to college.
And then i get a text from gary which was just my text, copied and pasted, with some rather upsetting notes attached, sent to the "friend" who had stolen my girlfriend.
Gary had been doing this all year.
I didn't finish my second year, and i was put in hospital for a while for my own safety.
Im unemployed, still depressed and struggle to even form basic friendships with people. | Gary's a dick | [

I think it's already been mentioned, but I'm incredibly mixed about Nemesis' Blind Vengeance skin. I think the visuals are great, but the voice pack seems to overdo with the culture references and I think it's a bit racist, honestly.
A ninja skin with a japanese or japanese-sounding voice pack? Sure!
A ninja skin with a woman trying to sound as stupid and ridiculous as possible? Please no.
Also I agree with OP, the legendary and golden skills are not very aesthetically pleasing. I love the colours, but the golden skin makes just about every god look ugly.
Except Zeus. He looks like an actual glorious golden statue of a god.
I believe a little while ago someone posted images of a project that aimed to shop normal skin colours on every gold and legendary skin, and those looked excellent.
Furthermore, I hate how, especially lately, gods are being nerfed/buffed and rebalanced based on a sudden rise of people playing them, rather than an imbalance the developers have noticed themselves. Yes I'm talking about Bastet. She got a new model, suddenly she's flavour of the month and everybody plays her. Everybody playing her means more complaints about parts of her kit, which leads to nerfs and so on. I do like her new look, sure. But I'm not sure I'll enjoy playing as her much anymore knowing what effect she had on the game recently.
Finally, I don't like Worth. | Blind Vengeance skin VP stupid, Gold/Legendary skins ugly, Bastet rework, not buying into Worth hype train. | [

Before I say anything else, let me just get this out of the way: I love my girlfriend very much. We have been together for a year and a half, and she means the world to me. I am hoping to propose to her within the next year.
So...
My girlfriend lives in PA and I live in OH. I moved in and lived with her and her parents at the beginning of our relationship for about 5-6 months, and had to move back to Ohio because I couldn't afford (financially) to live there any more. She has a car (I am in the process of getting a car) and right now she is in college and working at Walmart to pay her bills, while continuing to come visit me every two weeks. This has some good and bad, we have the individual time apart that a relationship needs but we also have too much time apart to where we miss each other and have to cram emotional, intimate, and sexual connections into one small weekend.
I am lacking the intimacy, emotional support and sexual connection that I had when I was living with her. I understand that this is a huge problem in long-distance relationships but having bipolar disorder it is 10x worse for me. It can be very hard for me to be without her for two weeks, and up until now I have just "cured" my horny impulses with porn. My girlfriend knows that I watch porn and is okay with this.
However lately when I become horny I get carried away and both sign up for dating websites and look on Craigslist for women to sext with. I only have been interesting in sexting, nothing more, and will NOT physically cheat on my girlfriend. I know this is wrong and after I finish pleasing myself I immediately delete the accounts. So far I have not received nor sent a single sext, message or picture. Living without my girlfriend and our intimacy is hard and I am weak and vulnerable. I love my girlfriend very much and I want to stop this, but I just need that physical, emotional and sexual connection with someone.
This is something that I want to work on because I honestly do want to change my behavior. My girlfriend is currently in her junior year of college and after this year will have her senior year and a few months after that to finish her degree. We are planning on living together after her graduation. I know that if things don't change our relationship could possibly burn out.
I would also like to improve my sex life with my girlfriend. I believe that this would be groundbreaking step in our relationship. She is not very adventurous, and the only thing she really does for me is blow jobs, which I can't complain about. When we have sex I am always doing the work, it has become old and boring for me and I have lost the feelings of "burning love" sexual intimacy. I want my girlfriend to please me as much as I am about pleasing her, and I want her to interact and engage with me during sex.
I need help, Reddit. I want to stay with my girlfriend, improve our sex life and cure these sexual urges so I don't end up hurting her or our relationship. Please help me. | Long-distance relationship with girlfriend has caused lack of intimacy and emotional connection. | [

Moving soon, not taking old crock-pots with us (they've both seen lots better days). Will be living in a small apartment with a kind of tiny kitchen, so space is a concern. Years ago our 3-quart crock was never big enough, so we also bought a 6-quart, and it always seemed too big (and was oblong and took up a TON of space, and never fit in the cabinet very well)
It HAS to be cat-proof if it's on during the day (unattended), so a locking lid is a must. (Not necessarily a pressure-cooker, mind you, just something to keep a cat from knocking off the lid, and with the smells generated, it needs to be seriously CAT-PROOF).
Are any of the bells and whistles I'm seeing in a few models on-line worth it?? Some have simple timers (keep on one setting for x-hours I presume), others claim "program-ability" (which I assume means you can do 2 hrs on high, then 6 hours on medium, and then 2 hours on low to keep warm, and such). Haven't really looked at any of the details yet, I'm just wildly guessing what those features could be.
Are temperature probes worth it?? Are there any that regulate heat to a particular temperature, but withOUT a probe?? Is that even a feature worth having?? (Never had it before, so don't know if that's even worth it -- do you ever really need one?? - never had one before.)
Always bought what was cheap before, and now I want to buy what's GOOD, and one that really suits our needs. Price is no object: we figure most of the time, you get what you pay for. (That said, I do have a thrifty side too.) | Looking for the best model I can find in the 4-5 quart range, efficient use of space (when stored), locking-lid (or at least cat-proof), the "RIGHT" features that are actually worth having (and none that are silly, don't work, or aren't worth it). | [

Perhaps I should further explain what I mean by the title. The general sense, you probably got (my life is bland/boring/uninteresting). And you wouldn't be wrong--I've been hanging out with the same people forever, they've been in the same relationships forever, we've talked about the same shit every day for years; I've been following the same quotidian routine for what feels like decades; this kind of thing--but it goes a little deeper than that, even.
I'm not sure if one should call what I am about to describe a quirk, a condition, or what, but the fact is that I just have a hard time feeling anything other than sadness or contentment. I often spend entire months at a time somewhere in between the two, and it SUCKS.
I've been changing shit around--going to the gym, hanging out with a moderately different group of people, et cetera--but for whatever reason the emotional thing just isn't budging. (The fact that I've been The Single Friend for going on a year now sure as shit isn't helping, either.) So, anyone who'd like to talk, please do hit me up. | Talk to me, damn it! | [

Last year I came from the Eastside (Bellevue/Kirkland area) and parked at the South Kirkland Park and Ride. The buses came every 30 minutes or so and the ride was less than 30 minutes into downtown. For $2 one way I was very happy with that.
The 2 years before that I came from Everett/Lynnwood and the bus that runs downtown has quite a number of stops along I-5. The ride was a little longer than coming from the Eastside, but Everett/Lynnwood are also further away.
My first year of PAX I parked in Capitol Hill for free and walked down, but it still wasn't fun finding parking and you can sometimes meet people on the bus and/or figure out what you want to do when you get to PAX on the bus if you go that route. | Buses are an easy choice if coming from Eastside or North of Seattle, but your time at PAX is contingent on the first and last bus. Driving into the city is an option if you don't mind walking. | [

x-post from AskMen)
I (22F)'ve grown to really like this guy friend of mine (25M) - [I posted about him recently](
We've been friends for over a year now, and the entire time (until recently) he had a girlfriend, so we hung out platonically about once a month and had a great time. He told me about a month ago that he had broken up with her (which makes it about 3 months now that they've broken up).
Last week we went out for drinks, which ended in him kissing me at the end of the night and I confessed to him that I liked him and have liked him for a while. He said he really liked me too, but he wants a bit of time because he just got out of a 2-year relationship BUT says he still wants to see me.
The thing is, he had always been fairly passive in initiating hangouts (I'd always bring it up, then he'd enthusiastically say yes and take charge in making plans, then we'd have a great time hanging out). Unless his response was to be nice/polite to me and let me down gently, our feelings are mutual and are out in the open, yet he still won't initiate anything. The only indication I have to go off of is that he now replies my texts more regularly (though very infrequently still), but not much else otherwise.
I don't want to push him away if he's not lying, since I really like him and I think we'd be really happy together sometime in the future if he gave us a chance. But he is my friend first and foremost so I don't want to put him in a position where he feels like I'm just using him. So how do I know whether he's just shy, passive (and needs me to take the lead), or is he just not interested? | Can't figure out if the guy I like is shy, passive, or simply not interested despite him telling me that he reciprocates my feelings, because he is not really doing anything about it. | [

I was bullied from the ages of 8 - 12 at school and one day in the playground I noticed a lot of kids crowding around a wall. I went over to join them and saw that someone had thrown an egg at the wall the night before and it had dried up and left a stain.
As I have turned to walk away, the two main bullies approach me and tell me I have to lick the egg on the wall, and they'll pay me. I flat out refused until they cornered me and, in fear of being beaten up, I agreed to do it. They showed me some coins and offered it as the price, but to be honest I just wanted to get it over and done with.
As my tongue approached the wall, one of the bullies grabbed my hair and forced me into it, and the smell was fucking horrible. Everyone laughed at me, the bullies walked off, and I never got paid. | I was bullied into licking egg off a wall for money, but never got paid. | [

First of all, you're flat out wrong.
Skyrim came out over a year ago, the ONLY recent game on that list is Dishonored.
Lets have a look at the games shall we?
Brink - a game most would consider a pile of crap, not even active anymore online and I sincerely doubt over 1% at max wanted it.
Dishonored - This is the only game that is worth a lot on the list, but even this game reached as low as 20$ already.
Doom 3 BFG - Its considered to be inferior to the old Doom 3, despite being sold at 30$ there are very few who actually consider it worth the price.
Morrowind - Goes for 5$ every Steam sale, very old game, enough said.
Oblivion - Same as Morrowind, goes for 6.24$ but still quite old.
Skyrim - Over a year old, already reached very low prices.
Fallout games - Already reached low prices, pretty old games.
Hunted - Mostly considered a terrible game, doubt most even cared for it.
Rage - Went as low as 5$ during this sale.
Rogue Warrior - Piece of shit, never saw anyone call this crap anything close to decent.
Guess what, if you actually buy the decent games there individually on sale its not that costly, and that's not all, Steam is offering a superior version of the pack for 90$ (same as GG without the pricing error) making the GG pack seem a bit overpriced compared to it.
So say the GG pack is worth 80$? Its still not unthinkable it can be a great sale for 30$.
Also, despite how you love sounding smart, Far Cry 3 a game that is newer than EVERYTHING in that pack was sold for 5 or 6$ ALONG with Far Cry 1 AND 2 for a very limited deal and it was even posted in this subforum.
Another useful hint, usually games are way cheaper when sold in bundles.
If all of that information isn't enough, then I don't care what you think anymore.
Was the pack really cheap? it sure was, it did seem almost too good to be true, but guess what, if a site wants to bring in customers, putting a really amazing sale for a short duration is a great way to pull in customers. "But the sale went on for 8 or 9 hours" - It did, but if you bought it when it just went up, you wouldn't know about it now would you? | you want as if everyone else is acting like it could have been a pricing error and you're above that because of how mature you are, but all I see is a little kid who tried to sound fancy for some internet points. | [

This is way too long, so thank you to anyone awesome enough to brave it.
Alright, so my boyfriend (22) and I (f19) have been together as an "official" couple for four months. We met at our place of work back in November of 2011 and we became fast friends. Due to our mutual shyness/personal issues, neither of us were able to acknowledge that we had more than friendly feelings for each other, so we both saw each other in a friendship capacity.
During this time, I was also friendly with a few other guys at work. I've always had a lot of guy friends, but I am a very reserved, prudent, and borderline up-tight person on the inside. I'm friendly with dudes, but I don't flirt/actively pursue unless I'm REALLY REALLY into the guy (and it takes a lot for me to really like a guy. I get crushes easily, but not actual feels.) However, at this time in my life, I was trying to figure out who I was, trying to be the "normal," flirty, good-times girl. So, I flirted with a few guys from work. One guy in particular returned some affection and we even kissed on a couple occasions (something that I honestly regret, due to the fact that he was a total player and I was very, VERY naive.) Anyway, I never did anything more than kiss this dude. Another dude from work also asked for my number, and I gave it to him, not knowing that he had a girlfriend. I had a little crush on him, but he asked me to hook-up with him and I was NOT COOL with it, so that went nowhere.
So, fast forward to about January of 2012. My current boyfriend and I were getting more friendly (Also, I need to make it clear that I had feelings for him this entire time... He's rather aloof and I thought he thought of me as only a friend... So I acted aloof right back... Fucking games.) ANYWAY. We would hang out, listen to music, go places, etc. Things were cool. I thought "Okay, this dude doesn't like me the way I like him, but that's okay. He's cool." Later on into February, he kissed me for the first time. And it felt right. We decided that we would be "friends" but we could kiss. Kissing was nice. So, kissing eventually led to more. He was my first everything. During our "friends" stage, he was the first guy I'd ever given a hand-job, blow-job, and hell, his was the first real penis I saw. He touched me and I touched him. Due to personal issues, I never thought I'd be able to get close to someone and I am SUPER uptight about sex, so this was A BIG FUCKING DEAL FOR ME.
The crazy thing is, everything felt so natural. Like, I cared about him so much, even when we were doing a "friends with benefits" type of thing. But he was hot and cold, and I could never tell if he wanted more than friends, or not. Anyway, in the early part of March, right at the beginning of our "FWB" (for lack of a better term... it really wasn't FWB... it was friends who should've acknowledged that they were in a relationship... Ahh, hindsight.) I kissed the same dude that I had kissed before... the one from work. We were working late one night and had been flirting a bit, and he kissed me. It was a terrible judgement call and I don't know why I did it. (Also, it is very worth noting that earlier in the evening, my "FWB" came to visit me on my break at work and we made out in his car. THIS INSTANCE IS A MAIN CAUSE OF MY CURRENT'S PROBLEM WITH ME) Anyway, a few days later, I went to the beach with my now-boyfriend and we just chilled, whatever. Then, I told him about the kiss. I think I was trying to show off... to show him how other guys want me, all that dumb stuff that girls think. He was miffed. Dude that kissed me had a girlfriend and my telling this to him opened a big can of worms.
He told me about his previous relationship and how his ex had cheated on him/really, REALLY fucked him over, physically, mentally, emotionally. It was awful and it has left some very deep scars.
So, we decided to make our relationship "real" in April. Over the course of these few months, we've hit a few snags. It started as him just being paranoid that I was cheating on him/lying to him about everything. Then, it progressed to "You flirt with guys in front of me and are actively looking for a new guy." Now, it's "You were such a slut/so easy when we first met, and I can't get over it." He sees that kiss between me and dude from work as cheating on him, especially because, on one occasion, I kissed them both in the same day . I was under the impression that he and I were not "together" during this time (because we weren't) and so I don't know what to do.
Anyway, for the past couple of weeks, we've been so up and down. We'll get so angry at each other and he'll call out all of my "flirtations" from when we first met and all of the guys I was "hooking up" with, etc. I have explained to him time and time again that these were during a weird time in my life when I was trying to be someone I wasn't.
He's convinced that my true personality is flirty, easy, and loose. I am none of those things, goddammit. Not one bit.
I was a virgin until him. I had never done anything sexual with anyone until him. I'd never WANTED to, due to my own personal stuff. He doesn't believe me when I say that he's the only one I want to be with. He's the only one I care about. I've never been in a relationship before him, and goddammit, I fell so hard, so fast.
I love him, but I don't know what to do. We're always edging toward a "break," but I do not want this to happen. Today, he said, with conviction, that he was going to cheat on me so that I could feel what he felt when I "cheated on him." I can't believe this is happening, as he claims to be "so against cheating" due to his past relationship. However, he is also a very vindictive, insecure person, so I wouldn't put it past him.
Anyway, our little issues are just taking a toll. When we get this way, neither of us eats, sleeps, etc. We both have depressive personalities, so that doesn't help either. Usually, we can see each other, and it gets better. But it never gets worked out. I need it to be worked out. He told me today that "the ball's in my court." He said that I need to fix this and SHOW him that he's the one that I want. Words aren't enough.
How can I fix this? Is it doomed? I don't want to give up because goddammit, I love him. But, we've both become co-dependent, especially me, and the thought of being without him is almost unbearable. I've never felt so attached to anyone, and I need for this to work out. Or, it needs to end. But I really, REALLY don't want to let that happen. Any advice? | Boyfriend sees me as easy/a slut due to things that "happened" before we were together, causing him to feel like "second-place" to other guys. I NEED to show him he is my one and only. Because he is. How can we make this work?

I'm friendly with dudes, but I don't flirt/actively pursue unless I'm REALLY REALLY into the guy (and it takes a lot for me to really like a guy. I get crushes easily, but not actual feels.) However, at this time in my life, I was trying to figure out who I was, trying to be the \"normal,\" flirty, good-times girl. So, I flirted with a few guys from work. One guy in particular returned some affection and we even kissed on a couple occasions (something that I honestly regret, due to the fact that he was a total player and I was very, VERY naive.) Anyway, I never did anything more than kiss this dude. Another dude from work also asked for my number, and I gave it to him, not knowing that he had a girlfriend. I had a little crush on him, but he asked me to hook-up with him and I was NOT COOL with it, so that went nowhere. \n So, fast forward to about January of 2012. My current boyfriend and I were getting more friendly (Also, I need to make it clear that I had feelings for him this entire time... He's rather aloof and I thought he thought of me as only a friend... So I acted aloof right back... Fucking games.) ANYWAY. We would hang out, listen to music, go places, etc. Things were cool. I thought \"Okay, this dude doesn't like me the way I like him, but that's okay. He's cool.\" Later on into February, he kissed me for the first time. And it felt right. We decided that we would be \"friends\" but we could kiss. Kissing was nice. So, kissing eventually led to more. He was my first everything. During our \"friends\" stage, he was the first guy I'd ever given a hand-job, blow-job, and hell, his was the first real penis I saw. He touched me and I touched him. Due to personal issues, I never thought I'd be able to get close to someone and I am SUPER uptight about sex, so this was A BIG FUCKING DEAL FOR ME. \n The crazy thing is, everything felt so natural. Like, I cared about him so much, even when we were doing a \"friends with benefits\" type of thing. But he was hot and cold, and I could never tell if he wanted more than friends, or not. Anyway, in the early part of March, right at the beginning of our \"FWB\" (for lack of a better term... it really wasn't FWB... it was friends who should've acknowledged that they were in a relationship... Ahh, hindsight.) I kissed the same dude that I had kissed before... the one from work. We were working late one night and had been flirting a bit, and he kissed me. It was a terrible judgement call and I don't know why I did it. (Also, it is very worth noting that earlier in the evening, my \"FWB\" came to visit me on my break at work and we made out in his car. THIS INSTANCE IS A MAIN CAUSE OF MY CURRENT'S PROBLEM WITH ME) Anyway, a few days later, I went to the beach with my now-boyfriend and we just chilled, whatever. Then, I told him about the kiss. I think I was trying to show off... to show him how other guys want me, all that dumb stuff that girls think. He was miffed. Dude that kissed me had a girlfriend and my telling this to him opened a big can of worms. \n He told me about his previous relationship and how his ex had cheated on him/really, REALLY fucked him over, physically, mentally, emotionally. It was awful and it has left some very deep scars. \n So, we decided to make our relationship \"real\" in April. Over the course of these few months, we've hit a few snags. It started as him just being paranoid that I was cheating on him/lying to him about everything. Then, it progressed to \"You flirt with guys in front of me and are actively looking for a new guy.\" Now, it's \"You were such a slut/so easy when we first met, and I can't get over it.\" He sees that kiss between me and dude from work as cheating on him, especially because, on one occasion, I kissed them both in the same day . I was under the impression that he and I were not \"together\" during this time (because we weren't) and so I don't know what to do. \n Anyway, for the past couple of weeks, we've been so up and down. We'll get so angry at each other and he'll call out all of my \"flirtations\" from when we first met and all of the guys I was \"hooking up\" with, etc. I have explained to him time and time again that these were during a weird time in my life when I was trying to be someone I wasn't. \n He's convinced that my true personality is flirty, easy, and loose. I am none of those things, goddammit. Not one bit. \n I was a virgin until him. I had never done anything sexual with anyone until him. I'd never WANTED to, due to my own personal stuff. He doesn't believe me when I say that he's the only one I want to be with. He's the only one I care about. I've never been in a relationship before him, and goddammit, I fell so hard, so fast. \n I love him, but I don't know what to do. We're always edging toward a \"break,\" but I do not want this to happen. Today, he said, with conviction, that he was going to cheat on me so that I could feel what he felt when I \"cheated on him.\" I can't believe this is happening, as he claims to be \"so against cheating\" due to his past relationship. However, he is also a very vindictive, insecure person, so I wouldn't put it past him. \n Anyway, our little issues are just taking a toll. When we get this way, neither of us eats, sleeps, etc. We both have depressive personalities, so that doesn't help either. Usually, we can see each other, and it gets better. But it never gets worked out. I need it to be worked out. He told me today that \"the ball's in my court.\" He said that I need to fix this and SHOW him that he's the one that I want. Words aren't enough. \n How can I fix this? Is it doomed? I don't want to give up because goddammit, I love him. But, we've both become co-dependent, especially me, and the thought of being without him is almost unbearable. I've never felt so attached to anyone, and I need for this to work out. Or, it needs to end. But I really, REALLY don't want to let that happen. Any advice?",

Thanks for bringing up the cost and effort behind peer review. I handled the peer review process for a journal for 5 years and IT WAS HELL. No one turned anything in on time. Ever. I would get reviewers to agree to handle a paper and they would disappear of the face of the earth. When I sent out reminders, they found the time to call and berate me for my "gall" in asking them to review for free (as if it were my personal policy, not that of the publisher), but they never found time to actually review the papers. On the flip side of the coin, these very same people screamed bloody murder if it took longer than a month to get their paper reviewed and accepted. | It's a miracle that anything gets peer reviewed. Don't say it's easy until you've tried to manage the process. | [

Are you done?
Allow me to refute
> Sherman circlejerk is unbelievable, this sub (aka literally Seahawks fans all the time)
The "circlejerk" of people rightly saying he has played at an elite level the last three years is entirely believable, and completely justified. And while there is a large amount of Seahawks fans on this sub, primarily due to recent success and a large PNW presence on reddit in general, but we are outnumbered by the fanbases of the 31 other teams combined by a vast majority, and so if it was just Seahawks fans saying Sherman is good, it would be a minority opinion.
> get its head out of its ass
Generally if you want to prove someone is a dick and shouldn't be well liked you should try to present yourself in as likeable a light as you can. This would be a good example of what not to do.
> he's not a shutdown corner
Well okay, way to back up your statement. I would argue that Sherman is a shutdown corner in that the receivers he covers are typically not thrown to, when they are thrown to, the passer rating is below 50 and the lowest in the league, and about 13 percent of the time it's intercepted. He had the most interceptions and the fewest targets, meaning his receiver was often shut down and when the QB threw it anyway, it was picked off at a ridiculous rate.
> he doesn't shadow #1's
While he scheme doesn't generally call for it, Sherman has shadowed top receivers to great effect. The popular example is Boldin week two of last season. The previous week Boldin had lit up the scoreboard and people thought he was unstoppable, and Sherman smothered him for just one catch for seven yards in the fourth quarter. So he definitely can shadow, he just doesn't because the scheme doesn't ask him to . It's outside his control and therefore not something you can really penalize him for. He excels executing the defense his team plays, and that's what you judge players by. Just because he usually doesn't shadow players doesn't mean he is incapable of it.
> he's "stanford-educated" and "articulate" but he's not
Oookay, you are verging into some borderline offensive territory here. He is actually Stanford educated, you don't need the quotes, he got the degree and everything. It's a good school. A lot of people couldn't graduate from that school. It's an impressive accomplishment. And he is articulate, in that he writes well, can express his opinions, and has poise in public forums. Does he trash talk? Yup! And I would be very surprised if he was the only one. I hear Brady talks trash all the time, no one give him shit for it. Does he lose his cool every once in a while?
Sure, and I wish he didn't, but he's always come back and clarified his points in those cases. You can't judge a person based off of a single moment of their life. Or I guess you can, but that says more about you than them.
> He's just smarter than some of the backwards compton thugs he was raised with
Wow. Okay, forget borderline, you just went for offensive. Cool. People from Compton are no less deserving of respect than people from anywhere else, to dismiss them as thugs or idiots is a terrible thing to do. I'm worried that you might have some racist tendencies, with how you phrased that.
> fucking asshole of a player with zero class.
Nah, you just haven't been paying attention. He's commended players he respects, for instance he's publicly thanked Larry Fitzgerald for being such a standup player on the field. He also does charity work and all that jazz, as well as stand up for players' rights.
> worst person in football
Worse than Hernandez? OJ? I'd rethink that. | you are a silly person. | [

When we first saw Oonoki's kekkei tota I wondered what a combination of four natures would look like. Now that we've seen Juubito's four-nature-spheres I wanna see what comvining all five could make.
My theory is that Madara has unlocked some secret the Sage kept to combine all five chakra natures. Madara is the only one who can use it because he's the only person we've seen who has naturally obtained the Rinnegan.
It could literally be anything. | Madara's natural Rinnegan lets him combine all five chakra natures. M. Night style, super asspull no jutsu! | [

I just had the most intense marijuana trip I've had in my life, and sadly it wasn't a good one. Mostly because I wasn't prepared for it. My experiences did change after trying shrooms for the first time a few months ago, but never to this extent - not even close.
So I smoked an above average amount, laid down, and started waiting for the effects. Almost instantly, I started getting slightly radial blurish around 12-15 in, I entered this permanent deja-vu state. It's really hard to describe. It seemed as if everything I'm doing now was repeating, and has already happened before possibly even multiple times. I semi-knew what was going to happen in the future. I thought that I need to do something I couldn't have possibly done before. So, I got up, opened google, and pushed some random keystrokes, such as asdjptpwohisdf*, clicked on the first result, and started reading the first thing I saw - and I still knew I've read it before.
At this point, I freaked out. I lifted my eyes off the monitor, and everything seemed to be made up of patterns, life didn't seem like life anymore. I started telling myself that I'm only tripping, the tree must have been dipped/laced with some strong shit, and it's going to be alright. But the deja-vu feeling was taking over completely, at this point it seemed like everything I'm doing has been repeating forever, without beginning or end. I wasn't checking time, because I had completely "lost faith" in the concept of time. At this point, my memory is faded, and I can only remember some separate details. I don't remember how I got to bed, but I remember laying in bed, having very intense open-eye hallucinations of lights and kaleidoscopic patterns. I didn't know whether my eyes were open or closed, and I was just imagining everything.
But everything up until now is nothing. Because when I really closed my eyes, I had an experience similar to what I've read about DMT. I felt as if I've traveled to a different place, that had no physical matter, seemingly outer space, but had organic looking patterns all around me, a bit like in [this video]( And I felt an entity standing behind me - I was convinced it was a demon or something. Needless to say, I was scared shitless, I've never been so scared in my whole life. Then I remembered I can open my eyes. When I did, I was back in my room. I tried to not close my eyes, again, but I couldn't - I was warping backwards and forwards, trying to fight it. Every time I went back to that place, I felt the entity waiting for me. I've convinced myself, that I either have schizophrenia and I just royally fucked up for life, or that I'm dead and literally in hell.
It's very hard to remember what happened next, it's possible I passed out, or maybe I just forgot everything. Next thing I remember is snapping out of it, realizing I'm in bed with tears on my face. I was still seeing some slight patterns, and feeling deja-vu-ish, but definitely not as intensely where I lost the concept of time. I looked at the clock - only 30 minutes have passed since my hit. I managed to get up, and tried to turn on some relaxing music. I was still very high, I'd say around [7], but it's hard to tell because I was really scared. I tried food, music, but nothing was enjoyable. The next 2 hours was me trying to get off this trip. Taking a shower helped the most.
Now that I'm mostly sober again I'm feeling a bit dissociated from my body, like a mild case of [DPD]( hoping it will go away - I'll update on it.
I'm convinced some form of DMT or something alike was somehow mixed in. Currently contemplating quitting all drugs in general.
But give me your opinion - what on earth (or in outer space) just happened?? And more importantly - what should I do? Should I just never talk to that dealer again, or go confront and ask him wtf he gave me? He's a friend of a friend of a friend type of deal, I don't know him that much personally. | smoked some tree, had a case of permanent deja-vu times infinity, got freaked out, saw kaleidoscopic patterns and got blasted to another plane of existence with an evil presence behind me. Wtf happened? What should I do?
Update: The taste of the smoke did seem a bit sharp and "off" when smoking, although I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't notice the color or concistency being different, but it's hard to tell because it was ground up when I got it. I didn't inspect it much before rolling it up - Stupid stupid stupid! Never not doing a thorough inspection again! I only bought 500mg, and that was the whole joint, so I don't have any left over to inspect.
Update 2: Well, it's the next day, and I spoke to my dealer. He said he has both salvia and weed with PCP. However he swore he wouldn't give doped up weed without his client knowing on purpose, and said he must have mixed it up with one of them, judging by my story - probably some salvia mixed in with the weed. He did seem genuinely sorry. Still probably won't buy from him, since this showed his incompetence. But at least he wasn't a dick about it.
Update 3: About my current status: I'm semi-fine. Psychologically, the DPD-ish effects went away completely, but I'm getting shivers just thinking about that dark place I went to, like a mild PTSD. But I'm sure it will go away, and it's just while my memories are fresh. And physically I feel absolutely normal.
Update 4: Well, a week and a half later I'm fine. I still have this big scary memory, but it doesn't haunt me like PTSD would. I just hope to never have to experience this again, so now I check my weed thoroughly before smoking :) | [

Typing on my phone...excuse mistakes.
So me F (25) and my bf m (35) have been together for 6 years. We have children together.
I've been having a lot of issues lately that I believe are causing me to "act out". I am home alone a lot with the kids (bf works a lot). I am under a lot of pressure from other obligations in my life, and I am frustrated with our current situation.
Basically, I've felt under appreciated for a long time in this relationship and on top of that my bf has pretty much refused to discuss a serious commitment with me (marriage) because he says it should be all about when he can do it the way he wants. He's been saying this since before we had kids, so I just feel like he's stalling to keep from having to actually commit. This combined with my relatively new found loneliness has led me to do some things I'm not exactly proud of.
I've had a couple male friends that don't live in the same state as us that I've started to confide in a lot. Telling them my personal problems and even getting into "What if" scenarios with them. I've been friends with both of them a lot longer then I've known my bf, and my bf is aware that I talk to them...just not to the degree its gotten to recently. I've also started occasionally hanging out with old friends and seeking attention from males. I've been emotionally distancing myself from my bf, and I only see it leading to more serious issues. However, I feel like I can't stop it. I don't want to leave my bf or give him an ultimatum, but I honestly feel that after six years and kids together, that I am starting to resent him and acting out because of the lack of commitment I want from him. Also, it hasn't helped that I'm about 10 years younger than my bf, and I feel like i started young with him, and he should appreciate more what I've given up to be with him.
I have told him how I feel, and all he says is that I need to be patient. Iam so confused and a lot of the time I feel like I'm just not good enough....and that's why I'm seeking attention from others. Even though nothing has happened, it makes me feel guilty and I'm afraid it will get out of control. I'd love some advice. Thanks. (Sorry this is a throwaway) | bf won't commit....seeking attention. | [

Edited (deleted) Repost from a little while ago:
Rant:
Why should I care? Why should I give an ever living fuck about my job anymore? I can't seem to stop caring. I am not kidding when I say my current work is sending me in a depression. I have absolutely no energy anymore. I am currently looking for another job, even if its more retail.
And now, to the stories, my apologies.
Number One:
Recently, I made my awesome mohawk even more awesome. The sides are down to a #1 (it was an accident!) and the mohawk is 2 1/2 inches long, enough to stand up by itself without any product. Its still a weird faded pink/purple color.
This old lady was coming through the register I was bagging for. She stares at me for most of the transaction. Finally, she says "You are a girl, yes?"
"Um, yes?"
"Pink hair means girl. You are a girl."
I didn't have the heart to tell her the color of my hair doesn't determine my gender. Besides, what happens if I dye my hair yellow?
Number Two:
Ah, here's an older tale. It wasn't too long after I started, and the front end was 90% females at this time. A customer was wondering if we did the WIC program. I turned around to a fellow cashier.
"Do accept WIC?"
"What was that?" It was quite loud and she didn't hear me.
"Do we accept women....?" Brainfart! I couldn't remember what the letter I stood for.
She gave me the weirdest look. "Well, I sure hope so!"
"Infants Children!" I blurted out.
"Yes, yes we do."
Number Three:
Short and sweet. Okay, we all know bananas almost always go on top, bread on top, yada yada?
Customer had really heavy bunch of bananas. I'm talking like four pounds plus here. I put them in the plastic bag and then gently set ONE bunch of kale on top. KALE. A really light leafy green.
They take the bag from me and put the kale on the bottom and bananas on top. Okay, maybe they were trying to protect the bananas from bruising...but they did shoot me a dirty look.
Number Four:
COWORKERS. UGH. So, This coworker, lets call him Butthole, was going to quit and just barely gave his two weeks notice. Responsible, right?
NO. He does No Call No Show for his last THREE shifts, fucking us all over. Butthole should have known better, just a few weeks before another coworker did the same but with two shifts.
Best part? Butthole didn't have direct deposit. He came in for his last check. Oooh, the glares he did get. One of the head cashiers (the one that is transferring) - well, she's the nicest lady ever. She saw him and took him aside. She told him how rude it was what he did to us, and not only did he screwed US over, but he screwed himself over. He had been here over six months and could have used us as a reference. Not anymore!
He left, almost in tears. Serves that damn kid right. | My hair is pink so I'm a girl, We are not sexist, BANANAS, No call No show. | [

Okay, we all know bananas almost always go on top, bread on top, yada yada?\nCustomer had really heavy bunch of bananas. I'm talking like four pounds plus here. I put them in the plastic bag and then gently set ONE bunch of kale on top. KALE. A really light leafy green.\nThey take the bag from me and put the kale on the bottom and bananas on top. Okay, maybe they were trying to protect the bananas from bruising...but they did shoot me a dirty look. \n Number Four: \n COWORKERS. UGH. So, This coworker, lets call him Butthole, was going to quit and just barely gave his two weeks notice. Responsible, right?\nNO. He does No Call No Show for his last THREE shifts, fucking us all over. Butthole should have known better, just a few weeks before another coworker did the same but with two shifts.\nBest part? Butthole didn't have direct deposit. He came in for his last check. Oooh, the glares he did get. One of the head cashiers (the one that is transferring) - well, she's the nicest lady ever. She saw him and took him aside. She told him how rude it was what he did to us, and not only did he screwed US over, but he screwed himself over. He had been here over six months and could have used us as a reference. Not anymore! \n He left, almost in tears. Serves that damn kid right.",

The best way to win the rat race is to refuse to participate. Find joy in the smile of someone you cherish while sharing a well-prepared meal at home (if cooking is your thing) or a shared excursion (such as a walk on a nice day) or a conversation; appreciate and look for the good, the beautiful, and the noble in everything around you; understand that desire is part of life but know that you are in control of it and give into it when you want rather than being tossed about by it (e.g., eat the pizza slice or buy a coffee as a treat for the moment but not as a way of being-in-the-world). Think of one thing each day that gave you pause to embrace contentment. (For me this morning, it was the sun as it chased me along the skyscrapers as I rode the bus into town for work. Silly? Maybe. Simple? Definitely. Contentment achieved.)
There will always be someone richer, smarter, younger, or better looking than you only if you compare yourself to others rather than comparing your past self to your present self, and even then, you are not now who you were then. Measure yourself by what you put into the world rather than what you consume from it. Honestly, the want of the thing is more powerful than possessing the thing because there will always be a new thing that you must possess. Each victory leads to another lacking, and you will throw the trophy on the pile of things that you must then shepherd as you begin a new pursuit.
Realizing that contentment and happiness are states of being (mental things) you create for yourself rather than things to be found or dis-covered is the better path and a powerful ally when you feel impinged on by desires or want.
And when you do find that you need something, do your homework first and make sure it is the best combination of practicality and cost that will fit in your budget. Sometimes, spending the extra x% on something might extensive have downstream savings. | Invest your time and energy in people rather than the pursuit of things. | [

Wasn't too bad but I always thought this story was kind of funny and weird.
A few months ago, my internship required me to take the red line from Belmont to Garfield at about 4:30am. I'm a scrawny little guy so as long as I kept my eyes open I would be fine. One morning three black people get on the train at Grand. Two of them look like normal people but the third guy is this big guy who looks like he could have been a defensive end in the NFL and is dressed head to toe in gangster style clothing -- except everything he wore was green. He's got a green Chicago-themed gangsta hat, an oversized green Chicago St. Patricks day themed baseball shirt, white shorts with green palm trees on them, and green converse shoes. They carry on a conversation like normal but once we get south of Monroe, the car empties. Typically, there's a handful of people that stay on the train south of downtown but today that just wasn't the case so I was alone with them. As soon as everyone but me and them is off the train, they start talking about a deal the guy in the green was about to broker on the South Side. It was supposed to be some big deal involving a few thousand dollars. I was a little on edge already because I had brought a duffel bag full of clothes because I had to catch a train that afternoon from Union Station immediately after work to go to Milwaukee.
Eventually their conversation stops in the guy in the green takes notice of me. He asks me if I'm flying to Atlanta. I was confused at first but he pointed out the Atlanta airline tag on my bag. He points this out before we get to Roosevelt because he thought I was catching the Orange Line to the airport. I told him I'm just going to work. The conversation with his buddies about the deal continues. Eventually the conversation stops and he turns to me again. Now I'm a bit nervous because I'm obviously out of my element: I'm a scrawny asian kid on a south side train, I've got a travel bag, and I'm alone with this big, ridiculous looking mid-level drug dealer and his buddies on the train. I was afraid I was about to be mugged or something, I was sweating a bit, and I didn't know what to do.
The first thing he asks is if I was racist and I answer no. Then he talks to me about this and that, we talk about Atlanta, football, Boondock Saints (he seemed real happy to know that I watched a few episodes of Boondock Saints), and whatever else. Eventually he asks if I'm in college and if I ever smoked weed. 'Yeah a couple times I guess'. 'You got any kush?' 'No.' 'You want any?' 'Nah, I'm good.' 'Alright, that's cool, that's cool'. And he talked about something else for a few more minutes.
'Alright, this our stop. Be cool nigga.' They walk out the train and each of them gives me a fist bump on the way out. While the ending was anti-climatic, I'm still trying to make sense of the situation. Was he just going to try to rob me if I tried to buy the weed? Was he gonna mug me but changed his mind? Was he trying to get my guard down? Was he just trying to start a friendly conversation and I was over-reacting? Did I take the right course of action? I had never been in a situation like this before. And the fact I thought he was gonna do something, and the fact that he was wearing all green made it very surreal. | Thought a giant leprechaun selling some of his green was going to mug me. Turned out to be ok. | [

It's tough to do, I was in a somewhat similar situation but luckily came out of my depression/anxiety slump early in college and it didn't hurt me too bad although my school performance wasn't exactly stellar. I was fortunate enough to get an internship and land a job through that. From that experience, I'd recommend just trying to keep your spirits up and look for internships first (since you're able to get support from your parents for now) and jobs second (although any job would be good too just to show work experience and that you're not lazy on your resume for the future).
You mentioned you're in good health and exercise regularly. Does something like personal training or nutrition interest you? Maybe look in to getting a part-time job at a local gym. It'll give you experience working with people more and could help curb your anxieties, not to mention give you a little income. A friend of mine helped out at a gym and after a while, set up a couple of training classes that he ran. He'd do the classes 2-3 times a week in the morning (really simple things, just aerobic work outside at a local soccer field, hardly any equipment required, just some cones for people to run around and he had people bring their own mats) and then go work the desk at the gym in the afternoons/evenings. People signed up for the class because they were familiar with seeing him at the gym every day, and he was allowed to post fliers on their bulletin board. Made a nice summer income and was a great way to meet people and be put in a social environment. Long story short; if you're comfortable with exercise and health, it will be easier to chat with people about that since you're confident in it. | Hang in there. Keep focusing on getting an internship/job and try to use your existing strengths to work for you. | [

I voted Liberal. I still think that was the least bad alternative we were presented with on election day. I will say, before why I explain why I voted for them, that I am displeased with how this government has conducted itself in regards to most major issues. As with everything though, the circlejerk on here is clouding any possibility of balanced discussion and as a result most users are creating the kind of skewed caricature of the situation, to the uninformed redditors, that Murdoch is perpetrating through traditional media channels.
So in short. Pre-election, Labour had been through many leadership disputes and did not appear a stable option. I work for a large FMCG and have daily contact with retail and small business owners. An overwhelming majority were experiencing a consumer base with very low confidence to spend. I should also note this is not an industry effected by online retail. Anyway, low consumer confidence is normally a good sign that there is still a lot of work to do in regards to a recovering economy. Like it or not, the Liberal party has a better track record and offered greater stability. So basically I decided to trust them with the primary onus to guide the nations recovery from the GFC and a bit of transitioning out of the mining boom thrown in.
In closing, they've been terrible, the options really were crap and I don't see an outstanding solution in the medium term. | Economy, stability, lack of options, retrospect is great | [

Hello Reddit, Over the past year I have been working my own project, a smartphone based application, aimed at medical students and health care professionals, teaching them through video tutorials.
I am very proud of my progress so far, and the developers I have recruited are readying the first version.
Currently I am recording the content and I need a video editing software with a suitable mix of usability vs. functionality, so I thought I'd look for some wise words on here.
My only previous experience is using virtualdub, so not much experience.

I have sleep paralysis, where my brain and senses become alert during sleep, but my body does not get the signal and I lie there in bed, unable to move. I have had several experiences of my mind coming to and hearing things in the room with me, like people or beings, I don't know what to call it. I can feel them watching me and standing close to me and touching me. This is always coupled with the most intense feelings of fear and panic. Sometimes I can feel that I am being held down by a sheet or something. I once heard a child's voice call my name and another voice respond to it to say that I was sleeping. I have even felt the touching when I was not asleep, but awake watching TV. It feels like someone wrapping their hand around your ankles or around your wrists and just holds it there. I can touch it and still feel it touching me. It's fucking horrible. I like to joke about it because it makes more sense when I am making fun. But it fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking ssssuuuuuuucccccckkkkkksssssss!
I have also seen shadow people...I don't know what else to call them. They are the dark silhouettes of people. They have walked in front of me and have been peering through windows. Electronics also turn on and off and volumes on things will go up or down with no one tinkering with it. It scares the ever loving shit out of me. I think my friends kind of believe me, but more that they think I'm crazy. | have sleep paralysis- get visited by beings that touch me and shit (not in a sexy way either) and see shadow people | [

For example, here in Germany you pay an extra 7-9% tax rate if you claim you are 'religious,' in which the funds go toward church restoration for example.
Though the Europeans here (Berlin) do still consider themselves personally religious, they are much less active in the church because they want to pay less in taxes. | mandatory church taxes in Germany | [

i'm a junior (girl) and this was my first year living off campus. I got screwed by the lottery last year and had to start looking off campus in June, so its never too late to start looking.
If you're worried about safety, just try to look for houses between easton and college ave. But honestly, one or two streets past easton isn't too sketchy yet. The closer to Huntington you are, the safer you seem to be, in my opinion. Look at as many houses as you can, and make sure you inspect the houses that you look at carefully- don't settle!! Take note of whats a deal breaker; things like a small kitchen and outside or nonexistent laundry facilities are good to consider. Talk to your roommates about what you all want so you're on the same page and don't waste your time looking at places that won't fit your needs. Also clear everything with your parents in advance because housing disappears quickly so you might need to jump on signing a lease as soon as you look at something that everyone loves.
I would definitely recommend living off campus for at least one year, because its pretty awesome to not have to deal with an RA or signing people into your dorm and being able to cook and smoke and light candles whenever you want. I find living off campus more convenient because I actually live closer to my classes than when I lived on campus, plus i'm not mandated to get a meal plan so I saved a ton of money.
feel
free to PM me with specific questions! | Pros: freedom, cheaper, closer to class (depending on where you live)
cons: safety issue past a certain point | [

Complicated.
Remember, unlike Sam, I'm a hegelian atheist. I'm also a hegelian theist. Both terms sort work, but I think that "atheist" is closer to the dialecticism that I'm trying to express. It has less baggage.
God is dead in transcendence, but she's still quite immanent in the holy spirit, a spirit that is only fully realized when we live out the death of God. It is only the God that is dead in the world that can be alive in us.
Prayer is a bit complicated, because DoG actually, instead of taming the divine or putting it in a box, kind of wilds the divine. It lets God do her own thing.
The trouble with that is that it doesn't really have claims on what the divine can/will or will not do. Dead things can do anything! When God is no longer the source of original meaning or grounding in the universe but is instead a recursively counterintuitive ground-that-is-no-ground or meaning-in-the-dearth-of-meaning--no longer the guaranteur of meaning but the gauranteur of non-meaning or the liberator from meaning, it kind of throws a monkey wrench in our selfish notions of prayer.
What does it mean to pray when you don't demand a meaningful response from God? I mean, prayer is a counterintuitive notion anyway; DoG just brings it to the surface.
So, practically, I pray for wisdom. I pray for blessing. I pray for the strength of Christ in loving my enemies, serving the needy, undermining the opressive, loving, caring, and serving. I pray for peace upon myself and others. I pray for strength to carry my cross, and I pray for strength to help others carry theirs. I pray for strength for those who do not have it.
Prayer, for the DoG theologian is more theurgical than theological. It's much more like Kierkegaard's view than anything. | As /u/christwasacommunist says, "If the absence of a God is not cause for prayer, I don't know what would be."
Does this all make sense?

Hey guys I'm a new guitar player, been playing on and off for about a year with a huge break in between due to a shift in work schedule and not being able to play without waking anyone up but I digress..
I'm going to be looking to purchase an acoustic-electric guitar (preferably with, and forgive my lack of proper terminology, the fret cutout for easy access to higher frets) around the 300$ mark. I was looking at the Kingsman SCE and its a little bit higher than I want to spend so I figured I'd ask the knowledgeable people here for some suggestions for a good quality instrument in this range. | Got 300-350 USD for acoustic-electric. Ideas? | [

Well entwives, it's been a tough week for my ent and I. I just felt like this is somewhere I could share. We haven't had anything to smoke in like a week, we had a resin ball before that so it's been a kind of shitty two weeks or so. I've been looking for a new job as we got our hours cut at our current one, and yesterday we both pretty much got fired/quit over some stupid shit.
My brother sells and got kicked out of his living situation, and is now staying with my mom, who lives really far out. I'm looking to take up his business when we get paid next week, IF our check is enough to do so. I hope we can do that because then we can make profit and have some to smoke. but until then I am just kind of stressing over what we are going to do about bills and money.
No matter what I have him and I love him, but I just needed to get this off of my chest. We have no idea WHAT we are going to do. If we file for unemployment, it'll be an 8 week waiting period, which sucks too.
I am just really kind of down right now and the only thing that makes me feel better I can't afford. | shitty two weeks, no weed, low on funds, no job. :-/ | [

I went to an international summit in Tokyo back in high school. Their idea of us is basically what you probably think it is. Wasteful, arrogant and careless. My job was to change that opinion but my friend and I had the least prepared presentations and misinterpreted the presentation cues. | Wasteful, arrogant, careless. | [

I'm in the process of doing research for a university thesis. I'm focusing on the works of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Brueghel and their contemporaries. I want to examine the grotesque and fantastical imagery that they used in their artwork and try to identify where they are influenced from, as well as how they in turn influenced Dutch and European painting. If anyone knows of any other interesting painters or paintings from this time period that fit into my thesis (they don't have to be Dutch), the input would be greatly appreciated! | Know any [Bosch]( artists or paintings from his time period? | [

The original quote, from which this is adapted, can be found [here](
This belief, in a way, I think argues for itself, however allow me to express that argument and perhaps facets of it not oft discussed.
Allow me to provide an example that simply outlines a situation highlighting how two sides in a war become indistinguishable to us, the outside observers.
As war is being waged one side decides that kidnapping enemy children is a viable strategy to defeat their enemy. They proceed to do so and the expected outcry of anguish and contempt from the opposing side follows. If then the side whose children are being kidnapped decide to similarly engage in the kidnapping of enemy children, it becomes literally impossible to distinguish which side is which. Perhaps we could distinguish by saying which side first stole children or whose children was first stolen from, however, that does not directly pertain to the state of either side of the war after both have engaged in the kidnapping. Both sides’ atrocities have become indistinguishable; children are being kidnapped, and both parties are partaking, regardless who “ started it ”.
Now, to analyze the example in more detail;
The end result of the example sees both sides in the fictional war kidnapping children from one another. Both sides children are certainly experiencing tremendous fear, as well as their families. The reality clearly then is that both sides’ citizens are terrified of the other because both have the real possibility of being kidnapped and having the same terror exerted upon them. It does not matter that one side was “evil enough” to be the first to exert this terror on the other nation, because both sides now are victim to that terror. It could even be argued, though I won’t, that it takes a similar “amount of evil” to retaliate as they did, in turn kidnapping children.
Children are being kidnapped regardless of which side of the border their playground is on.
Another example; now we will add more details to the two sides in a conflict, though, this time the conflict is smaller, on a national level rather than international. There is an election going on, with two opposing candidates battling for an elected position.
These two candidates are diametrically opposed, of course, seeing as they come from two opposed parties who have selected them as their nominees. One calls the other candidate derogatory names and attacks their character and reduces their attack to simple physical criticisms, rather than pertinent political ones.
Taking a moment in the middle of this example to analyze this first half;
It would be apt to say that the candidate who has stooped to name-calling is, wrong, fails to bring a meaningful argument, or any other numerous criticisms of the strategy employed here.That candidate has dropped any pretense of logically demonstrating themselves as a better candidate, and has instead opted to tear down their opponent. This in tow, let’s finish the example.
The candidate who was the victim of the childish name-calling attacks is understandably provoked and in turn responds by calling out the opposing candidate. Perhaps an appropriate response, however, it is somewhat "tainted" when the candidate goes on to call their opposition childish for pursuing such a line of attack, as their response. This then provokes another response from the initial candidate and ostensibly “justifies” a retaliation. This will go on to provoke another retaliation and the cycle will continue.
Now, to analyze the latter half;
The candidates differ significantly in policy and ideology, though that stops being apparent when each reduces their rhetoric to simple ad hominin attacks. Instead of valuable discussion about policy that will dictate the future of the nation, to which each parties’ candidates are vying for control, the candidates are instead endlessly criticizing the character of one another. Let’s suppose I only begin gaining an interest in each candidates’ stances following this descent into ad hominin but I possess no way of seeing their statements previous to when I first start paying attention to them. This then leads me to believe that they have no stances worth listening to, because all that they have to say has to do with the other candidate instead of themselves. This suggests to me that neither can be that formidable a choice for office if they are both, as their strategies, tearing each other down instead of building themselves up.
| Two opposing sides who reduce themselves to their enemy’s ostensibly more “evil” strategy in turn become just as “evil” and thus indistinguishable from one another, because the end result sees both sides’ “evil” homogenized from an outside observer.
Thanks for reading the examples, if you did, and I look forward to hearing about all of the mistakes with them!
Cheers!

I'm [21 F] looking for general advice. My problem is that while guys generally like me, the ones that I like and the ones that like me are never the same. Any ideas as to why? A little background on me:
Raised Catholic, grew up on a farm, love big ideas, dave barry, garage rock, studying computer science. Never been in a relationship, kinda shy. I realize this next part is vague but getting at the truth and pursuing justice are important to me. To be more concrete, I liked philosophy because it seemed to be a search for truth, and I wanted to join the FBI or be a lawyer to protect people's rights. Also, I'm not overweight, and I'm not bad-looking, just to cover those bases.
Who I'm interested in: A smart, aggressive, independent guy who is good (good is a lame adjective, but I don't mean "nice", maybe honorable/virtuous?), free-thinking, funny, and grounded.
The Problem: I get a lot of guys I'm not interested in, and I don't like leading them on, or hurting their feelings. Sometimes I catch myself subconsciously being unfriendly so I don't have to deal with either of the above options. (I know this is BAD.) When I do find someone I like, they don't seem interested. I can't figure out if it's because I'm not friendly enough, or not girly enough, or that me liking them a lot makes me seem desperate. Any ideas? Don't hold back. | Country girl at heart, looking for manly, smart guy, but somehow her signals are off. | [

i [22F] had my facebook deleted for like a year and got it back to stay in touch with him while he was deployed. He breaks up with me before he deploys. Seeing his facebook upsets me now. I am wondering if i should delete him as a friend or just go back to deleting my facbook because I dont like it anyway. If i delete him as a friend I wont be able to know if he is okay! If i delete mine I can check up one him once in a while. I dont know. I am stuck. hellp | Reluctant to delete him as friend because then I wont know if he is okay or not as he is deployed in Afghan. | [

Not trying to be a rude dude, but this is a bad montage parody. After lurking on the /r/montageparodies subreddit for quite a while, I've seen that the subreddit has continually become worse and worse as it has become more "mainstream." (RIP in pepperonis montage parody hipsters) I think the declining quality is directly related to the lack of actual input. For example, almost every comment you'll find on /r/montageparodies is "dank kush video 420/69" or something along those lines. I guess this is just the crappy average montage parody that we've come to know and accept :P | the montage parodies subreddit has shitty quality videos (not the way they're supposed to be) that is continually getting worse. | [

About five years ago my SO took sick and it was diagnosed as a rapid onset terminal brain disease, similar to Alzheimer's, but without any treatment at all. The only advice I was given was to keep her safe and happy.
She wanted to live in a different country and picked Mexico and we moved here.
When we moved I retired, the second time in my life to do so and assumed I would spend the next few years taking care of her.
She was only given two years to live, but here it is five years later and she is still going strong.
Everything in Mexico is different than what we were used to. Power goes out five or six times a week and no one thinks much about it. We can't drink from the tap as the water infrastructure is ancient and contains heavy metals. Summers are rainy and cool, in the 60s, and spring is the hottest season of all. We don't get rain at all for nine months then deluged for three. Traffic is insane. A friend that visited called it managed anarchy.
We are having a great time exploring our new space.
But after about a year of moving here, the boredom set in for me. Sitting around and doing nothing doesn't work for me for very long.
I taught myself how to type and then what?
So I thought about putting up a web server and messing around with it a bit. I have always been hardware oriented software hasn't ever been something I have done, so I thought maybe a distraction in that direction was in order.
The first thing to do was monitor the power and it is horrible. The average voltage is 125AC, not 120VAC. So my uninterrupteable power supplies were always tripping. And it is not uncommon to have outages for six to eight hours a day. At night peaks of 135-137VAC are also typical.
At the same time I was watching the power, one of the UPS boxes was struggling extra hard. I tried to change the settings, but couldn't locate any way to do it using Linux.
I contacted the manufacturer and they were not only rude about it, but quite condescending and insulting.
I went online and bought some D.C. power supplies for ATX motherboards and some batteries and a charger and made my own UPS. I now have three batteries and I am able to operate all of the servers for about six hours without A.C. power and I will keep adding batteries until I can go a full day.
Once power was stabilized then what? I built a web server, a database server and a NFS RAID-V server and had a great time doing so. It felt good to be back in the saddle again.
Next I turned my attention to the telephone service, which is a monopoly and every bit as bad as the power service.
I can't get internet without also being forced to purchase a phone line. Internet is up and down and speeds are horrifically slow. While rare, five days of no service is not really considered a big deal, and several daily outages of a few minutes are the norm.
So two internet connections and two phone lines. I make all of about five calls a month and I have two phone lines. But I also have redundancy with automatic fail-over to the working internet connection.
A static IP is US $100 a month, so not to be taken lightly.
Labor here is inexpensive but computer prices are double. And a lot of things I would like to get are nearly impossible to locate. The D.C. power supply for the RAID-V server was almost US $500 by the time I got it here. Reliability is very important!
Thinking about doing a VoIP service I priced components for building a server that could be placed in a client's site. The chassis alone was US $250 and it wasn't really what I was looking to use. Too big, too expensive and the wrong shape.
I bought some sheet aluminum, drew some pictures on some poster board and found a place that could fold the metal for me. Total chassis price was US $55. A quality ATX chassis starts at US $80 so I was quite happy with the results. Plus it has space for everything I need and is still compact.
I picked up some mini-ATX boards, added some RAM and a tiny SSD, put a 550VA UPS in, a D.C. power supply and added an analogue phone board to it.
Now I have a small wall-mountable server that has a built in UPS and can control up to 24 telephone connections with an internet interface.
I recently hired two programmers, one to make the web site bilingual and the other to do the programming for the telephone boards.
And I am still not certain what I want to do yet.
As is so typical for me I know what I don't want to do. I don't want to be a Skype or a Vonage. They have yet to make a profit. I don't really want to sell PBX systems. I want to do some type of service using a combination of the onsite servers and the web/database servers.
People here think I am absolutely mad. They couldn't believe I would go to all of the trouble to build my own power service, but when the electricity goes out my SO can still watch her movies, we have a few working lights and my systems merrily chug along.
When I went with mini-ATX mobos instead of regular ATX mobos, my electric bill went down by about half, even though I have more systems online.
So I guess it is time to stop messing around and figure out what I want to be when I grow up. | Two crazy monkeys tossed everything they owned, ran away to Mexico for an adventure. Now one is getting ready to start a new adventure by, horrors, working.
Best wishes. | [

So I just found this sub and looks awesome. I have been playing for about 7 years and have been writing for a few of them. I play the bass, guitar some piano, vocals violin. Bass being my primary.
anyways I have been experiencing what seems like a musical depression for about a year or so. My drive to practice or write has gone to almost nothing. I also barely want to listen to music anymore. I used to just listen to music on my headphones for hours and write music of all styles daily.
Now however I start to play and have a blast for about 20 minutes or so. Then a wave of sadness overcomes me and I have no desire to play anymore. It might have something to do with my personal life. I went from going to school for music and playing in the jazz band, as well as 3 other bands. Then they all stopped at almost the same time tow here all I do now is work at a shitty part-time retail job. I have plenty of time and equipment but just can't get over this hump.
Has anyone else gone through this? How did you get over it? | I'm Kind of drunk and wondering WTF happened to my musical drive. | [

I don't why this is hypocrisy. He is playing by the rules of the system in place, and since the federal government gives aid to ailing states, he is within in his power to accept it even while condemning the system.
For example, if you were to accept food from the government in China in the 1960's, it does not mean you support the government giving out food. It just means that under the current system, you will still accept food even though you didn't support the Communist regime. | just because you don't like the system does not mean you are a hypocrite for living within it
Of course it's inevitable that I get downvoted with no discussion. HEY R/POLITICS, I'd love to learn your well-thought out, educated, and open-minded discussion as usual! | [

This is a throwaway account.]
Redditors:
I'm 24 years old and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with my life.
I know nobody's perfect. I know everyone makes mistakes. But my missteps over the last few years have had overwhelming consequences, and I desperately need some guidance.
In 2008, I took in my best friend and his brother after their mother kicked them out. I knew my best friend partied on occasion, but I was not aware he was hiding a full-blown heroin addiction while he was staying with me. Three months later, I was evicted after money was stolen from me and I couldn't afford to make rent. I moved into my mom's house, gave her a good portion of my last two paychecks, but ultimately had to quit my job because she refused to drive me to and from work, and the only bus running through the neighborhood took a route in the opposite direction from the store's location.
I spend the first half of 2009 behind a closed door. I felt that eviction was akin to someone kidnapping my child. I met a guy online, through MySpace, in March, and I would stay up all night to be online for him to talk with. He came and went as he pleased, but said he loved me. I loved him too. I started attending a nondenominational church, and talked with the lead pastor about joining the ministry academy. Even though this boy I grew to love was a staunch atheist, he encouraged me to go forward with becoming a minister.
My sister began using meth, and I would warn my mom perpetually that if she didn't stop handing my sister $20 and the car keys every night, something bad would happen. At the end of April, on the morning me and this boy first met in person, Child Protective Services arrived at my mother's house and took my nephews in state custody.
My mother, understandably, couldn't handle losing her grandchildren. She demanded my sister pack her things and leave, but I argued that this was the worst thing to do. My sister was an addict, had just lost her kids only a few hours before, and did not need to lose the only roof she had over her head. Somewhere toward the tail end of that argument, I am told I'm taking advantage of my mother. I end up on a friend's mother's living room floor, my dad intervenes to give my sister a place to stay.
One week later, the boy I was seeing left me for an 18-year-old kid. I received an offline IM from him one day then he blocked me and seemingly disappeared.
I spent the rest of the summer trying to find work and finally did. I landed a web design position but that quickly turned into micromanagement hell. I was expected to be up and available online by 9AM but not log off until 3-4AM each night, 7 days a week. I was being paid a weekly salary, and eventually couldn't keep up.
Around the time I was readying to quit, the boy sends me an e-mail and I decide to be a shoulder to lean on. The affair didn't love him. I spent the next two months with someone begging my time only to use it in a way that was like subjecting me to emotional lashing. I start drinking more often to relax, but this becomes ammo and the boy begins assuming that my life is in shambles because I'm an addict. The abuse gets out of hand and I decide to let him go.
One month later, I ask a close family friend who receives a large SS settlement if I can borrow some money to get back on my feet. My mother intervenes and argues to that I would not be able to pay her back because I don't have a job. The friend agrees to help, but only a little, and gives my mother the money. My mother then escorts me to the local community college where the $100 I'm allowed to borrow is spent on GED tests because otherwise I "may waste it."
A week or so later, I go to visit my sister and find she now has an apartment filled with new furniture, her rent has been paid in full for months, she has new clothes and a new Droid; and she was given a car.
In November 2009, I decide to enroll in college. I figure it's a way out of this cycle. Being 22, I have to include at least one parent's income on my FAFSA. (I didn't have enough witnesses or sources to verify that I had been kicked out.) My mother refuses to disclose her income, stating that I need to "go talk to the Department of Economic Security and get food stamps or something." Two weeks of calling back to ask again, and I finally end up having to ask a live-in friend of hers to sneak me her taxes.
At the end of December, I call my mom and ask if she can consider letting me stay with her while I'm enrolled in college. (The college is a 30 minute walk from her house.) She refuses. I try again a few days later and she reluctantly agrees to let me sleep on the downstairs couch only on the days before I have class. This doesn't end up working out very well, as the only times I can eat at her house are when they fix a family meal, and the only times I can sleep are after their shows end at 11:30pm each night. I'm forbidden from entering most rooms in her house, and I have to ask to take a shower.
I make some friends at college and start to open up about what's happening with me. A lot of people offer ideas for me to leave, or places to stay temporarily. By the end of the semester, however, my mother's live-in friend and my sister (who are also attending the college) have convinced most people I'm just making things up. Furthermore, rumors get spread about me having habits like not flushing the toilet. It doesn't dawn on most people until my sister nonchalantly tells me in front of a group of people on campus that "if [I'm] expecting people to love me, they don't."
A few months later, the close family friend who lent me the $100 passes away. I find out from her son that she never asked for a dime to be returned by my sister, however I "needed to learn a lesson about borrowing from others." I did pay her back. It came out of the very small disbursement I received after tuition and books.
I spend the summer of 2010 staying with friends. In August, when I receive a slightly larger disbursement from the college, I decide to invest in a cheap car. I end up losing $1400 altogether because the car could not be legally driven within city limits due to emissions standards. The law in my state gave the original owner the discretion to disclose whether the vehicle could pass emissions because the vehicle was sold in the county.
I do well as my second semester rolls in. One month before finals, my laptop fries out. I have no money to replace it, and I end up having to spend late nights in the computer commons writing papers. I walk home in pitch black five nights a week just to get things done. I manage to pull myself up from near failure.
Christmas rolls around. Everyone in the family celebrates, buying each other gifts and inviting tons of friends over for a big dinner. I get two cards, no gifts, and spend five hours hiding in either the bathroom or garage to avoid having to sit in a corner and watch everyone celebrate.
3 days later, my mom comes home from her office and tells me to "pack my shit." This happened without provocation, without warning. I try to ignore it (thinking maybe she had a bad day) but my mother follows me around the house as I try to grab as much as I can fit into my backpack. I call a friend's mom for help. As she's driving down the road, away from my mother's house, I get a text message from my mom saying she wants my phone back too.
January 2011, I have no money, no job, nothing. I have no phone, and I have no secure address to receive my student aid funds. The college holds the check, but what I get is gone in two weeks. I was able to replace my computer and phone, but did not calculate the costs of getting to and from the campus. A few weeks into classes, I'm broke and cannot afford to take the bus anymore. If I withdraw, I have to send back the money I've already spent. I decide to withdraw from as many classes as possible, but let at least a few fail me. There's nothing I can do... no one can afford to pay the gas to get me back and forth. I asked.
I spend the summer learning about learning. It's the best investment of time I've made in my life. Unfortunately, I also spend it fighting to receive funding for college. After finishing all the paperwork and attending workshops for academic probation, the school changes its student aid policies. This change does not consider students just recently placed on probation. I end up on restriction, and the school states I was expected to attend the summer intersession. Two months of fighting later, I'm attending the current semester with funding only guaranteed for this one semester. I'm unable to register for Spring.
Today, things fell apart in a big way. I've done a lot to help others, from holding doors open to paying for others' bus tickets, to being a shoulder a stranger can lean on. I support my professors in their respective passions. But today, a professor who knows me very well refused to let me sit for an exam within the last five minutes of class. The alarms I'd set in my phone did not go off due to an unlucky software glitch in an app, but I was told this excuse is some "elaborate story."

What is going on here, Redditors? What am I doing wrong? What needs to change? | Each time I try to rebuild my life, it comes crashing down.

EDIT: I should also mention that a lot of this has spurned severe anxieties to some things. I can't eat in front of people anymore because I'm constantly worried someone will tell me I'm eating their food, not my own. I can't sit close to other people because I'm constantly worried someone will ask me move away from them. I don't talk to many strangers anymore because I've come to assume that I'm just impeding their time. I spend a lot of time daydreaming about things like relationships, or having lots of friends, or being able to be considered a positive influence through my writing or music. These anxieties have brought me to attempt suicide twice in my life, and while I don't feel like I'm risking another attempt, I can't speak for a few months down the road... especially if things don't look up.

EDIT 2: Thank you guys for sharing some words of wisdom with me. The general consensus seems that I'm behaving like a pushover, and instead of thinking about how the situation affects me first and foremost, I'm only considering how I can avoid things affecting others. | [

"content": "This is a throwaway account.] \n Redditors: \n I'm 24 years old and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with my life. \n I know nobody's perfect. I know everyone makes mistakes. But my missteps over the last few years have had overwhelming consequences, and I desperately need some guidance. \n In 2008, I took in my best friend and his brother after their mother kicked them out. I knew my best friend partied on occasion, but I was not aware he was hiding a full-blown heroin addiction while he was staying with me. Three months later, I was evicted after money was stolen from me and I couldn't afford to make rent. I moved into my mom's house, gave her a good portion of my last two paychecks, but ultimately had to quit my job because she refused to drive me to and from work, and the only bus running through the neighborhood took a route in the opposite direction from the store's location. \n I spend the first half of 2009 behind a closed door. I felt that eviction was akin to someone kidnapping my child. I met a guy online, through MySpace, in March, and I would stay up all night to be online for him to talk with. He came and went as he pleased, but said he loved me. I loved him too. I started attending a nondenominational church, and talked with the lead pastor about joining the ministry academy. Even though this boy I grew to love was a staunch atheist, he encouraged me to go forward with becoming a minister. \n My sister began using meth, and I would warn my mom perpetually that if she didn't stop handing my sister $20 and the car keys every night, something bad would happen. At the end of April, on the morning me and this boy first met in person, Child Protective Services arrived at my mother's house and took my nephews in state custody. \n My mother, understandably, couldn't handle losing her grandchildren. She demanded my sister pack her things and leave, but I argued that this was the worst thing to do. My sister was an addict, had just lost her kids only a few hours before, and did not need to lose the only roof she had over her head. Somewhere toward the tail end of that argument, I am told I'm taking advantage of my mother. I end up on a friend's mother's living room floor, my dad intervenes to give my sister a place to stay. \n One week later, the boy I was seeing left me for an 18-year-old kid. I received an offline IM from him one day then he blocked me and seemingly disappeared. \n I spent the rest of the summer trying to find work and finally did. I landed a web design position but that quickly turned into micromanagement hell. I was expected to be up and available online by 9AM but not log off until 3-4AM each night, 7 days a week. I was being paid a weekly salary, and eventually couldn't keep up. \n Around the time I was readying to quit, the boy sends me an e-mail and I decide to be a shoulder to lean on. The affair didn't love him. I spent the next two months with someone begging my time only to use it in a way that was like subjecting me to emotional lashing. I start drinking more often to relax, but this becomes ammo and the boy begins assuming that my life is in shambles because I'm an addict. The abuse gets out of hand and I decide to let him go. \n One month later, I ask a close family friend who receives a large SS settlement if I can borrow some money to get back on my feet. My mother intervenes and argues to that I would not be able to pay her back because I don't have a job. The friend agrees to help, but only a little, and gives my mother the money. My mother then escorts me to the local community college where the $100 I'm allowed to borrow is spent on GED tests because otherwise I \"may waste it.\" \n A week or so later, I go to visit my sister and find she now has an apartment filled with new furniture, her rent has been paid in full for months, she has new clothes and a new Droid; and she was given a car. \n In November 2009, I decide to enroll in college. I figure it's a way out of this cycle. Being 22, I have to include at least one parent's income on my FAFSA. (I didn't have enough witnesses or sources to verify that I had been kicked out.) My mother refuses to disclose her income, stating that I need to \"go talk to the Department of Economic Security and get food stamps or something.\" Two weeks of calling back to ask again, and I finally end up having to ask a live-in friend of hers to sneak me her taxes. \n At the end of December, I call my mom and ask if she can consider letting me stay with her while I'm enrolled in college. (The college is a 30 minute walk from her house.) She refuses. I try again a few days later and she reluctantly agrees to let me sleep on the downstairs couch only on the days before I have class. This doesn't end up working out very well, as the only times I can eat at her house are when they fix a family meal, and the only times I can sleep are after their shows end at 11:30pm each night. I'm forbidden from entering most rooms in her house, and I have to ask to take a shower. \n I make some friends at college and start to open up about what's happening with me. A lot of people offer ideas for me to leave, or places to stay temporarily. By the end of the semester, however, my mother's live-in friend and my sister (who are also attending the college) have convinced most people I'm just making things up. Furthermore, rumors get spread about me having habits like not flushing the toilet. It doesn't dawn on most people until my sister nonchalantly tells me in front of a group of people on campus that \"if [I'm] expecting people to love me, they don't.\" \n A few months later, the close family friend who lent me the $100 passes away. I find out from her son that she never asked for a dime to be returned by my sister, however I \"needed to learn a lesson about borrowing from others.\" I did pay her back. It came out of the very small disbursement I received after tuition and books. \n I spend the summer of 2010 staying with friends. In August, when I receive a slightly larger disbursement from the college, I decide to invest in a cheap car. I end up losing $1400 altogether because the car could not be legally driven within city limits due to emissions standards. The law in my state gave the original owner the discretion to disclose whether the vehicle could pass emissions because the vehicle was sold in the county. \n I do well as my second semester rolls in. One month before finals, my laptop fries out. I have no money to replace it, and I end up having to spend late nights in the computer commons writing papers. I walk home in pitch black five nights a week just to get things done. I manage to pull myself up from near failure. \n Christmas rolls around. Everyone in the family celebrates, buying each other gifts and inviting tons of friends over for a big dinner. I get two cards, no gifts, and spend five hours hiding in either the bathroom or garage to avoid having to sit in a corner and watch everyone celebrate. \n 3 days later, my mom comes home from her office and tells me to \"pack my shit.\" This happened without provocation, without warning. I try to ignore it (thinking maybe she had a bad day) but my mother follows me around the house as I try to grab as much as I can fit into my backpack. I call a friend's mom for help. As she's driving down the road, away from my mother's house, I get a text message from my mom saying she wants my phone back too. \n January 2011, I have no money, no job, nothing. I have no phone, and I have no secure address to receive my student aid funds. The college holds the check, but what I get is gone in two weeks. I was able to replace my computer and phone, but did not calculate the costs of getting to and from the campus. A few weeks into classes, I'm broke and cannot afford to take the bus anymore. If I withdraw, I have to send back the money I've already spent. I decide to withdraw from as many classes as possible, but let at least a few fail me. There's nothing I can do... no one can afford to pay the gas to get me back and forth. I asked. \n I spend the summer learning about learning. It's the best investment of time I've made in my life. Unfortunately, I also spend it fighting to receive funding for college. After finishing all the paperwork and attending workshops for academic probation, the school changes its student aid policies. This change does not consider students just recently placed on probation. I end up on restriction, and the school states I was expected to attend the summer intersession. Two months of fighting later, I'm attending the current semester with funding only guaranteed for this one semester. I'm unable to register for Spring. \n Today, things fell apart in a big way. I've done a lot to help others, from holding doors open to paying for others' bus tickets, to being a shoulder a stranger can lean on. I support my professors in their respective passions. But today, a professor who knows me very well refused to let me sit for an exam within the last five minutes of class. The alarms I'd set in my phone did not go off due to an unlucky software glitch in an app, but I was told this excuse is some \"elaborate story.\" I was told it would not be fair to let me sit for an exam that could ultimately be the difference between financial and academic suspension and finishing my degree. Why? Because to her, there is a hypothetical impact on other students that is somehow more significant than me losing the chance to attend college? Because it can be proven that I intentionally slept past the first hour of class? \n At this point, I don't know what I've been doing wrong. I don't know why everyone I meet is a ship passing in the night, why people finding boyfriends and making friends happens to the people around me but not me. I don't know what I'm doing to earn what I see as the worst return on karmic investment.

What am I doing wrong? What needs to change?",

As the title says I'm a non-American. To be exact I'm Scottish.
I enjoy browsing Reddit during my free (and not so free) time and over the past few days have seen an assload of threads about Occupy Wall Street and so I was intrigued as to what was going on.
Having read a few of these threads and the majority of the comments and debates held within them, from all different sides of the situation, I've began to form my own ideas about it all.
Now, before I begin, as I said above I've not read full news articles or other articles pertaining to this, it's all stuff that I've read right here, so the details I have may not be entirely accurate.
It seems to me as if there were a group (of whatever size) that decided enough was enough with how the economy/taxes etc etc were being handled/run and so they started to protest about that fact, with legitimate reasons which were clear to all those protesting.
Now, however, it sounds like any and all people who are perhaps pissed off with their jobs, aren't earning what they might like to, are unemployed (but are doing fuck all to change that), are young (I myself am reasonably young) and/or entitled assholes who think the world owes them, general bandwagoneers/mindless sheep or people who have worked up ridiculous debts for whatever reasons and seem to think it should all just be written off, have joined in.
The list could go on, but in short, it sounds like all forms of complete morons without a single clue as to why the original protesters were there in the first place have just joined in, and when asked why they're there they just give an inane or vague answer, further proving they haven't got a fucking clue.
Also, I've heard that groups of protesters have been doing things like blocking the Brooklyn Bridge and generally making things difficult for people who live/work in the area. The people involved in these parts of the protest (if they have infact happened) are nothing short of complete and utter bastards. End of. All they're doing is causing MORE problems and disruptions for the general public in the area who have nothing to do with the protests or to do with the things be protested about. Usually when a group of people want to gain the favour and support of others, they don't act like complete dicks to them, fair enough if they want to act that way towards the government or the people with the power, but just being assholes to the general public is out of line.
Now some people who support them might say "Well we don't care what you have to say/what the public have to say, we have enough support as it is." and if that's how you feel then I'd reply with "Well you can go fuck yourself with a big sack of dicks if that's your attitude towards people who have nothing to do with the situation."
One thing I definitely agree with, though, are the arguments against the top 1% paying no taxes. I don't know the reasons as to why they don't, but to me it seems like if they have the most money, why the fuck shouldn't they pay taxes when people with massively less money have to pay them.
What I do not agree with, however, are the people who are posting these "I am the 99%" pictures saying "I racked up $754,859.99 of debt and am doing fuck all to try and sort it out, but have to pay taxes anyway, I'm an entitled asswipe so write off my debt and give me free stuff!".
That's pretty much all I have to say on the matter. As I said at the very beginning I've only picked up details from around here and this is only MY OPINION on what it SEEMS like to ME, so don't go off on one at me because I got some details wrong or you don't agree with me. I'd love to engage in civilized, proper conversations/debates about it all and learn more, but I won't have viewpoints or "facts" rammed down my throat by arrogant people who refuse to listen to anyone elses. | Group of people pissed off with economy form legit protests > Entitled assholes and the like join in > Dickmoves ensue > Makes entire thing look bad to the rest of the world. | [

I heard the same garbage come out of a christian friend's mouth a few weeks ago. A mutual friend of ours, also very christian, is getting married and we were planning the bachelorette party together. The two of them decided they wanted to make the rainbow "holy" again because "gays have taken it and made it dirty and bad". So, she decides the theme of the bachelorette will be "purity" and to have a giant fucking balloon rainbow arch and rainbow decorations all over. (In public, at a restaurant) The whole thing disgusted me and I dropped out of helping and did not go. It does amuse me that none of them even realize what this must have looked like to everyone else at the restaurant. | My homophobic and very devoutly christian friends had a bachelorette party with ridiculous amounts of rainbow decorations. | [

After the recent attack at the movie theater in Aurora gun laws are going to be thrown in the spotlight and gun right activist and their opponents are going to argue the both sides and the idea of gun law reform is sure to be brought up.
My question is at this point in time do you think that a reform would help prevent these attacks? Why?
I believe it won't have a profound effect on the ability for these attacks to take place and will only lead to gun right activist claiming infringement on 2nd amendment rights.
My idea behind this is that the amount of weapons/gun in circulation within the public is so large and it continues to grow, that it seems any attempt to seize the public's supply of weapons will only result in a large and politically devastating backlash towards the government.
I have other points to include later if they don't get touched upon in the comments below. | Do you think gun law reform would help prevent large scale attacks like the one seen in Colorado? | [

At my middle school pretty much everybody shoplifted it was ridiculous. there were 2 main groups of people that did it: my group (6th graders) and the 8th graders at the time. some members of my group use to sell the stuff they got for dirt cheap at the school and no one said anything because they were getting red bull for 50 cents. the 8th graders eventually caught on to it and they joined in. they would keep thier stuff in one of their lockers and sell out of there. one of my friends was surprising good and figuring out lock combos so once he figured it out we would go into their locker and take everything they had which doubled our payout for a lot less work | I was stole from thieves | [

As a former fast food employee, if you are an asshole, expect to get charged for everything from now on. We will remember you. On the other hand, if you are are a regular customer that we recognize and are nice to us, we will usually let it slide and sometimes even give you a discount for being a good customer.
When I worked at Wendy's, getting a side of mayo for your fries started to get popular in our area so we started ordering mayo packets from the warehouse so we didn't have to keep putting mayo in the little cups we use for cheese sauce (we never charged for it). When we made the switch, this one lady who was a fairly regular customer (albeit a bitchy annoying one) and always got mayo for her fries threw a huge fucking fit the first time she got packets instead of cups. She demanded we give her cups of mayo at first because she wanted the cups to use for dipping, so we offered her an empty cup to squeeze her mayo into. She refused an empty cup to squeeze her mayo into and started complaining the mayo tasted different (she never even tried the mayo in the packets and both tasted the same). She demanded we give her the other mayo in a cup. So we did and charged her 25 cents for each cup. She threw even more of a fit because we "never used to charge for those" and our manager told her the new store policy after the switch was that the packets were free (up to a certain number) and if someone wanted the extra work done on our part to prepare mayo cups (sandwich maker had to take time and make them instead of moving on to the next order) there was a charge. She eventually paid for the cups and after she was gone, the manager told us all to make sure she got charged for anything extra from then on. | Assholes always get charged for extras and nice people will sometimes get them free. | [

I'm a tech in Florida working nights for a warehouse. The company I work for is known for their layaway program and smiley faces.
But if you go to tech school, it's the easiest part about having this job. While the job market is good, they expect you to have lots of experience because accuracy and speed is key. They can start you out at minimum wage which is highly underpaid for the stresses of the job. I make almost 14 dollars an hour and I don't deal with customers, and I still think that I'm underpaid.
If you work nights, be understanding of yourself if you don't get up until late afternoons. It's less time to run errands, see friends, and if you have kids, it could be a little stressful for them too. I hear many different things and horror stories about being screamed at by customers and managers turning on techs. Don't be fooled by night shift, if anything you get more irritable customers who are too tired to understand anything you're saying to them.
Patience and consistent optimism is helpful in this field.
If you catch a tech who might have some time. Ask them if they like their job and that you're considering going to school for it. | if you're persistent and can find good out of anything. Go for it. It's a great opportunity. If you get anxious or stressed, or have a short fuse. Back away slow. | [

My dad was never a billboard father, or an easy going man in general. He has few friends, and was described by his mother (my grandmother) as being "a bully".
He's always been prone to grandiose grandstanding, displays of anger (pounding fists on table, yelling in public, slamming doors) talking down to others. Many people can't stand working with him or being around him, and he never realized he was the common denominator. Most of all, he will never admit he was wrong (to a ridiculous point).
Recently though, he has been going off in really bizarre ways. The fits if anger are constant. He can't handle anything without going off on anyone around. Masked under the anger though, he has been struggling with tasks, stuff just seems to evade him, and he will loop through saying and doing things, most worrisome, he has referred to things like dead relatives or closed businesses as being current. All of these end in violent displays of anger, and insane threats (most recently he grabbed a gas can and threatened to set my car on fire)
I worry that he is slipping into dementia, but it's difficult to tell, masked by his normal attitude and issues. I also have no idea how to breach the issue with him, as I know it will end in anger and violence. But this is hitting the breaking point for my relationship, and is a huge strain on my mother.
How is it best to handle this, and what resources are out there for me? | How can you tell when an asshole loses their mind? | [

He's exactly right; there is no purpose. But that's the beauty of it. Your life only has what purpose you want it to have. It's extremely liberating, knowing you can do or be anything you want. And you're not limited by some über-powerful parental figure shaking his finger at you from up above.
As a former über-religious person myself, it's really depressing to think that there's "some higher purpose" for us, but you'll spend your whole life never knowing what that is, or if you're even on track to meeting your purpose.
Or you can look at it this way: whatever you do is God's plan for you. So you've thrown free will right out the window; no matter what you do, God has already planned for it to happen. Free will, in general, is incompatible with the concept of heaven. But that's a whole 'nother rant of mine; I won't dive into that here unless someone wants to know.
By not being bound by religious doctrine, I can really look at my life and decide for myself what my purpose is going to be. As a religious person, I thought my purpose was to guide people toward the Christian religion while being a "good Christian" myself. Now as a free man, I can choose to just be a good, supportive person toward everyone, regardless of their beliefs.
I can also decide on a whim (like I have in the last month) that I need to stop wasting away in this life and further my education. I'm not as young as I used to be, but I'm definitely not old yet and I have plenty of time left to start a path to greatness in my life.
Religion had me thinking that my life would just automatically turn out okay as long as I believed. Now I can really analyze my life and work hard to fix the areas that aren't going as planned, rather than stupidly praying that they'll fix themselves. | As a man who has not yet found his ultimate purpose in life, I am more alive and active than when I thought God had a purpose for me. | [

I smoked throughout my entire 38 week pregnancy. My doctor told me that since I had been smoking for so long, the tension and stress of quitting cold turkey would not be safe for the baby, and there wasn't a good alternative that would help me quit and keep the baby healthy.
I smoked about a half a pack a day, and sometimes less, because I threw up every single day for 38 weeks. My son was born 4lbs, 4oz. I never drank, no drugs, nothing. I did not take prenatal vitamins. (Even taking half would make me sick). He was so small, but healthier and scored well on his APGAR. | smoking while pregnant may cause lower birth weight, but I will not agree with it causing deformities, learning disabilities, etc. my son is walking and talking at 10 months old, you do the math!
ALSO, I have quit smoking since then :) | [

Location: Texas
Alright guys, using a throwaway because I'm paranoid. I'll give a bit of background on the situation. My SO and I have been looking for a place to rent for a couple months now. We found a local listing through a local legitimate realty company. The way this particular company is set up a bit odd, there are two brothers M and R. R deals with showing the listing and talking to the applicants and M deals with the owner, listing, and leasing process.We decided to meet with R to view the listing. To make it a bit easier, we'll call the unit we viewed unit 1. My SO and I fell in love with unit 1 and decided to submit our application and $900 deposit. We got approved for unit 1 on the 19th of the month with a planned move in date of March 22nd. There was a bit of a misunderstanding between us and they thought we wished to move in on February the 22nd (the upcoming Saturday). We corrected the situation almost immediately and we're told by R over the phone that the owner might not want to rent unit 1 because they had other units that would be open closer to our desired move in date but it would most likely not be a problem. We told them to keep us updated because we were really set on unit 1. It took them a couple days to reply (at which point we were sending everything by email). They said we would have a unit and we sent a message back to verify that it was in fact unit 1. On February 27th, we received an email back stating that unit 1 would be rented to someone else on March 1st but they had another unit available. We asked to see this other unit before we signed a lease and met with R on February 28th. This unit, while the same floor plan as unit 1, was very dirty, had different floors, and all around, just didn't look nearly as nice as the other unit. We told R we would think about unit 2 over the weekend and we would obviously get back to him on Monday (being that he still had our deposit). On Monday night, we decided unit 2 was not worth it and we were disappointed that unit 1 was rented to someone else, even with our security deposit on it. We sent R a message saying we were no longer interested in renting from them now and would be by the next day (today) to pick up our deposit. We tried to call R but we could tell that he was ignoring our calls. Instead, we called his brother M who we had not talked to directly yet. M sounded very angry and informed us that the owner was not obligated to give us our deposit back because we were approved, but bailed out. He claims if he doesn't rent the unit by the 22nd of this month (our original expected move in date) he will keep our deposit to cover "damages" (lost rent) he plainly stated that he was upset because he wasn't getting paid for it now because he is commissioned and we our now wasting his time. He said that the unit goes pretty quick and we would most likely get our deposit back as long as he is able to rent it. Upon further inquiry, he said that legally the owner could keep our deposit for wasting his time. He then stated there's nothing he can do personally because he already gave the owner the check and would not allow me to contact the owner directly. I checked the status of the cashier's check and it has already been cashed so I can't just cancel it. I know for a fact this is a legitimate company and not a scam.Now my main concerns are:
Should I just wait it out to see if I get my deposit back without pushing the issue.
Is he legally correct in being able to hold my deposit.
Just to clarify, we submitted the application and deposit specifically for unit 1 and were not told that we would not be receiving unit 1 until over a week later. | Put $900 deposit on Unit 1. They rented out Unit 1 a week later. Tried to offer us Unit 2. We didn't want Unit 2. Tried to get our deposit back. We were told they were not obligated give us our deposit back until Unit 2 was rented. What should I do. | [

Edit: I have been informed that I cannot trade d2jsp fg here. Sorry about that.
Hey all. I just started back into d2 on this amazing server 2 days ago and it has been awesome. I already have a character level 48 and rushed to hell act 1, so it wont be long before she is at chaos and can level quickly.
My experience here has been awesome. Everyone is super kind and helpful, so thank you all for that. I'm making a trap sin to mf/rush/etc with. I'd like to buy some gear for her, but since I just started I dont have any collateral. Does anyone here want/need d2jsp FG? Upon starting back into d2, I went to d2jsp and recovered my account and it has 132 fg on it which I'll gladly trade for any useful stuff on this server. Also, I'd be willing to trade it for lld items as well. | I just wanted to say thanks and ask if someone would accept d2jsp fg for some trap sin gear and/or lld gear.

This is so crazy, I don't even know where to begin.
A relative of mine has always been a liar. I think she gets it from her mother, who is very insecure and manipulative. Even when I was very young, I recall them coming up with ridiculous lies to make themselves seem better/happier/more well-off than the rest of us. They'd mention how certain celebrities would randomly stop by their home to hang out and how famous singers or movie stars would ask for their numbers because they were both so stunningly beautiful.
My family and I just ignored it for a long time. We wouldn't really give them any kind of response, we'd just kind of remain quiet. I got older, went to college, moved out of my parents house and basically stopped talking to these relatives.
Well, I went home to visit my family this past weekend. I stopped by the nursing home where my grandmother lives for a few hours, and she started showing me pictures of this relative with a very famous celebrity. The pictures were so obviously photoshopped and filtered within an inch of their original existence that it was laughable. But as I'm flipping through the pictures, I start seeing wedding images... images with small children in them... cheap stock photography that it's clear my relative is trying to pass off as her and this celeb. And I start asking my grandmother what these pictures are depicting.
Grandmother: "Oh, [Relative] and [Celebrity] got married in Paris."
Me: "Umm, wow! Why wasn't I invited?"
Grandmother: "No one was. It's in his contract that he has to be perceived as a bachelor in the public eye."
I start flipping through some other photos and I see some "artistic" looking black and white photos of a naked couple cuddling in bed. You can't see their faces or anything except for their backs/arms/legs, but the inappropriateness of the image just floored me.
So, I pull my mom aside and I start asking her for details. Apparently, this relative has convinced my grandmother that she is secretly married to this celebrity and she travels with him all over but they can't be together publicly because of his contract. Then, my mother tells me that the relative has been having SOME GUY call my grandmother every night pretending to be this celebrity and talking to her. My mom even mentioned that my grandmother complained that he didn't call her one night but he must've been busy.
I'm pretty upset by the fact that this relative is lying to a helpless old 93 year old woman AND having some stranger call her and continue the farce. My mom says that my dad tried to tell my grandmother that none of it was real, but my grandmother refused to believe him. I don't know if anything would come of trying to convince my grandmother that it's fake. She's old, and if it makes her happy to see these "pictures" then I guess that's okay. BUT, I feel like I need to confront this relative and tell her to cut the shit and stop lying to my sweet grandmother because it's cruel and twisted. My relative needs help, that much is obvious, but I doubt I can convince her to get any. She's so far gone. What should I do? Nothing? It's all so bizarre. | Relative is lying to my grandmother and telling her she's married a celebrity. She sends creepy, inappropriate photoshopped pics to my grandmother and has some guy call and pretend to be the celebrity. WTF!? | [

Ok, so seriously I started working for this company 8 years ago, and then it was very difficult to get hired by them. Luckily I killed the interview at age 19, with my 6 months experience as a Comcast technician and upbeat determined personality.
At first it was love at first sight. Leading wireless telecommunications company, consistent growth in the market both consumer and enterprise, and extensive top-notch training and professional development. Add on very competitive benefits and day one health care, I was the luckiest 19 year old around!
I climbed the ladder from Customer service agent to Senior Rep and Floor Support to handle Escalations. After a few years I moved to their Corporate/Government/Military/Landline Number Portability Department and was entrusted with access to high profile accounts I never knew existed(it was pretty fucking cool.) Then as I was working with our IT EUS and obtaining my Comptia Certifications my manager recommended me make the lateral shift to Technical Support and informed me he already had given my information to the hiring manager and they were expecting my resume.
So I took the position and never looked back till now.. That was 3 years ago, it was about the same time we partnered with Lean Six Sigma and everything started going downhill from there. I have watched this company close multiple call centers with excuses of "plenty of open seats in other centers they were offered to relocate to." All the while witnessing 3rd party temp agency centers skyrocketing and our JD Power scores for customer services plummeting in perfect harmony.
I have seen the training department cut to a 3rd of prior levels, and the new hires no longer receiving calculators or training on measuring customer worth nor taught negotiation tactics. We are told eliminating customer rights to prorated billing and algorithm programs that determine customer worth and tell you what promotion they qualify for or how much credit they deserve was done to make our lives easier; but this was done just so they could hire scab workers for a third of the cost and quarter of the training.
In tech support they no longer train how to logically approach and troubleshoot any issue with the OSI Model nor give new employees access to Native back end systems any longer. In a round table with upper management when we raised our concern and frustrations with the incompetence we were witnessing around us, we were offered reassurances of, "it took 3 extra weeks to train how to use the back end network and with guided flow troubleshooting guides it self provisions and makes corrections for you!"
Long story short, I stuck with this company and career path because I love to use my mind and figure out a puzzle with little to no guidance, and now I am being held to metrics not on my knowledge, but instead on how many times I click a button or discuss predetermined offers that receive a 90% rejection rating due to no relevance or interest in said product or promotion..
I have no degree but 8 1/2 years in telecommunications industry and am pretty sharp and agile using my critical thinking and analytical abilities to pin point the critical data and useful details of what little helpful crap customers give in the drowning of useless information they unload upon us techies. (similar to this | sob story of my young adult life)
If you were so kind and made it this far, please help guide me in the next position or company who aligns with my passion and desire to use my fucking brain and not be a mindless robot script reader!!?!?!?
Thank you, | [
