It's also just as possible that something else in your body has changed, either from emotions like stress or fatigue, something like a diet or medication change, or just a hormonal change from age or the pill. \n A few questions: \n \n Were you on any other medication or supplement, or take any recreational drugs while you were visiting your boyfriend (or shortly before or after)? Antibiotics, barbiturates, and supplements like St. Johns Wort can all cause the pill to become less effective. \n \n Have you been under any unusual stress - good or bad - or experienced any other life changes in the last two months? \n \n Do you have any other symptoms, or has anything else changed about your period? Lower back pain where there was none? Breasts that are more tender than usual? A sensation of feeling constantly gassy or full? Cravings for food that you normally don't crave? Do you have a fever, a sensation of constantly having to urinate, or unusual vaginal discharge? \n \n How old are you? \n \n How long have you been on hormonal birth control - not just the Loestren, but any hormonal birth control? \n \n \n I wouldn't freak out, so take a deep breath. It is natural for a woman's cycle to change throughout her life - in fact, hormonal changes from puberty can last well into your mid-20s. Likewise, hormonal BCP have been known to change a woman's cycle over time. Ofc, if the tests come up positive, you have a clear answer - but it's quite likely that something else has changed and you'll never quite know what happened.","Summary: we don't have enough apartment for three cats. How can we find a forever home for a kitty with issues, who really should be an only-kitty?\n\nPost: I'm the aforementioned girlfriend - yes, I've taken her to the vet. It's behavioral in nature, at least on the male's part. I've tried relocating litter boxes, buying new litter boxes, new food dishes, Feliway, reading books on cat psychology and implementing their advice, reintroductions, keeping them separate, scruffing, waterguns, shouting \"no,\" redirecting their attention, you name it. Part of the problem is that the calico has feline eosinophilic granulomas and just doesn't smell quite right. Part of the problem is the male objects to items in the house being peed on. Most of the problem is that the apartment just isn't big enough for three cats - when I originally got the girls, I lived in a two story townhome, and now we live in an apartment that's maybe half the size. \n I've done everything I can, and nothing's worked. The only solution now is to find her a new home - but every no-kill shelter in the area is booked solid, and I've been asking friends, family, and anyone who's even mentioned wanting a cat for months without any luck. I'm at the point where I'm ready to take out a Craigslist ad, but I'm wary of just dumping a kitty with known problems on a stranger. She's a sweet cat and I want to find her a forever home with someone who can deal with said issues, instead of having to worry about her well-being.","Summary: We want to pay; what's the difficulty with figuring out how to take our money?\n\nPost: Why hasn't the MPAA and its contemporaries done more to embrace digital media?

The reason consumers turn to pirating isn't an issue of cost, it's an issue of availability and convenience: we want current content, streamed from the Internet, on a multitude of devices.","Summary: I knew a lot of people who were adamantly childfree in their 20s. All but one now have kids. Ask me how many college-aged atheists I knew who are now Orthodox Christian!\n\nPost: The beliefs you hold hard and fast at 22 are probably not the same things you'll hold at 32. At 22, I vehemently didn't want kids. I actively identified as genderqueer and was thinking about transitioning FtM. I wanted to be a teacher. I knew who I was and how I felt about the world, and that was never going to change! Except it did. \n Every time I read \"I'm 22 and [this] is what I believe and it'll never change!\" I roll my eyes and think 'give it time, sister.' It will change. It may not change dramatically, but it will change - and some things will change in ways you don't expect. Nothing is static and nothing lives in a vacuum. There is no guarantee that what is true for you today will be true tomorrow.","Summary: women's bodies are neat.\n\nPost: Okay, so, here's how the basic cycle works: \n Day 1 is when your period starts, usually the day after your basal body temperature drops. After your period ends, your body starts preparing for ovulation. Your uterus rises in your abdominal cavity, your vagina elongates, and it starts producing cervical mucus. Now, it's important to understand that there will always be some discharge, regardless where you are in your cycle. It's also important to note that the follicular period - the period where your ovaries are making an egg - varies not only from woman to woman but can change from cycle to cycle. It's usually about two weeks long but will change in response to environmental factors. If you're stressed or sick, your body won't produce an egg until it thinks it's \"safe\" to ovulate. Likewise, if you're spending a lot of time with a man (tbh I'm not sure if it works the same if you have a female partner) you're attracted to, it can come early. \n Before ovulation, the texture, color and quantity will change to the slippery \"egg white\" consistency most women see. (It's not the same for everyone, my fertile mucus is sometimes yellow.) This period can last anywhere from a week to a day or two. On the day quantity and \"slipperiness\" are at their highest, that's called the \"peak day.\" Mucus peak generally occurs 48 hours or so before actual ovulation; it's easier to get pregnant on peak days because the mucus aids sperm motility and the sperm have enough time to travel to the fallopian tubes to inseminate the egg. It's also possible to have your mucus peak multiple times because your body didn't have enough estrogen to successfully produce an egg. During this time, your uterus is at its highest point, your cervix is soft, and the cervical opening (called the os) is open. You may also experience a one-sided ovulatory cramp called \"mittelschmerz,\" as well as spotting or light bleeding. After this ovulation period occurs, your basal body temperature rises by several tenths of a degree within a day or two, your uterus begins to lower itself in your abdominal cavity, and your cervix firms back up, dries up, and closes. This latter stage is called the luteal phase, and unlike the follicular stage, stays pretty consistent from cycle to cycle. \n Cervical mucus is only one way to determine when ovulation occurs. For those women who are either trying to get pregnant or using fertility awareness as a contraception method, combining mucus states with cervical position and basal body temperature is the gold standard. It's still an imperfect mechanism, but will usually allow you to determine when you've ovulated within a 24 hour period or so.","Summary: It's pretty, but I can't actually read what they're trying to say.

We are a hedge.\n\nPost: I would be willing to accept their thesis if they weren't obviously trying to part us from our dollars. If you go and read the sources cited, they're couched in entirely different terms. For example, this: \n > \"Those with intestinal inflammation (and not villous atrophy) had a 4.66-fold increased risk of death the first year after diagnosis and a 72% increased risk of death over the study period\" \n ...and you check the source, and it says: \n > Conclusion: Risk of death among patients with celiac disease, inflammation, or latent celiac disease is modestly increased.\" \n \"Modestly increased'\" is a hell of a lot harder to sell than \"a 72% increased risk of death.\" That's after discounting the fact that the \"study period\" was 43 years and that just about anything will increase your risk of death after awhile. \n The point of a GF diet is not to heal the damage done by celiac disease - that's already been done - but to limit future damage. It's an autoimmune disorder, and those gluten-attacking T-Cells aren't going to go away.","Summary: Science good, advertiser's application of science: still bad.\n\nPost: From that same study: \n > \"The higher absolute mortality among patients with inflammation is partly explained by their older age at study entry.\" \n My favorite: \n > \"Since HRs in the first year of follow-up were so different from that of later follow-up, we excluded the first year of follow-up from all subanalyses. Celiac disease is a lifelong disorder, and relative risks excluding the first year better estimate the long-term mortality risk.\" \n The item being cited was considered to be an anomaly and excluded from further analysis. \n The article authors state repeatedly that there are limitations to their research: \n > \"The introduction of celiac disease serological markers has allowed screening of individuals with less marked symptoms; it is therefore possible that earlier studies (based on data until 2000) overestimate the risk of death in celiac disease.\" \n And: \n > \"[T]he predictive value and long-term consequences of celiac disease serology in individuals with normal mucosa are unknown.\" \n Also: \n > \"One explanation for the high initial estimates could be that some patients with severe preexisting morbidity undergo small-intestinal biopsy as part of a general investigation. This could also explain why we found high 1-year-risk estimates independent of histopathology. In patients with celiac disease, persisting inflammation, even after introduction of a gluten-free diet, may have contributed to the high HRs in the first year after biopsy, as normalization of the mucosa often takes up to a year.\" \n If you go back and reread, you note this section: \n > \"We also estimated the risk of overall death in a subset of 3392 individuals with villous atrophy and positive celiac disease serology. We did not estimate the risk of death in individuals with inflammation and positive celiac disease serology because of lack of cases. \" \n Only patients who have Marsh stage 3 villous atrophy (severe damage) were included in this survey. Patients who had inflammation (Marsh 1-2, or partial damage) or none at all were excluded. Marsh 3 is pretty damn sick to begin with - of the people I know personally with celiac and flattened villi, none have ranked a Marsh 3. The point of testing early and sticking to the diet is to prevent just that. \n Just a few more: \n > We did not adjust for smoking. \n > We did not have access to weight and height data. \n >In conclusion, we found increased HRs for death in individuals with biopsy-verified celiac disease, inflammation, and latent celiac disease, although absolute risks were small. ... Cardiovascular disease and malignancy were the main causes of death in celiac disease.","Summary: Always maintain a safe following distance.\n\nPost: I was driving back from a trip to the beach with a friend. A car in front of me decided to pull an unexpected right; I was following too closely and had no room to stop. Oncoming traffic was super light, so I pulled into the opposite lane ... only to discover that the car in front of of me had also concealed an oncoming car, too. \n In a feat straight out of a Vin Diesel movie, I managed to maneuver my car between both vehicles, avoiding what would have been a major three-car collision at 50 some miles an hour. The entire scene played out in less than a second; my friend didn't even realize how close we'd come to hitting both cars. \n I felt like a total badass until I had to pull over five minutes later for a panic attack.","Summary: Sheep get fleeced less often than an Amway downline.\n\nPost: The vast majority of my family is associated with Amway. They're fairly high up in the organization - a direct downline of one of the largest distributors in the area. As such, I've had a fairly unique insight into the workings of Amway. Here's the deal: \n Can you make money in MLM? Yes. Does it involve shady, cash-only, under the table dealings to do so? Abso-fucking-loutely. \n The official line is this: you become a distributor and start recruiting \"downlines.\" For each downline you have, you earn a percentage of their sales. They in turn sponsor more downlines, and you get a cut from them, so on, so forth. You're told that once you built up your network, you can potentially make millions of dollars from Amway. \n What they don't tell you is that the last part is a total lie . \n Amway caps distributor earnings at (last I looked) $100,000 per year. Now, $100k isn't exactly something to sneeze at, but it's hardly the \"millions per year\" that an upline will tell you can earn. Where does the rest of that income come from? Well, as a distributor, you're expected to attend motivational seminars and networking events and purchase motivational books and tapes. Who puts on these events and makes these motivational materials? Why, your uplines, that's who. \n From the moment you join, you're told by your uplines that you must buy into this scam to succeed. Failure to attend these events or purchase these materials will result in you being blacklisted by other regional distributors. So instead of buying \"household items\" to increase your earnings - like they tell you in the initial sales pitches - you're actually spending thousands of dollars on cult-like conferences, self-published books, and home burned CDs and DVDs. \n The conferences - which pull in thousands, sometimes millions - are cash only. No checks, no credit cards, and absolutely no accounting. Paying with cash for your motivational materials is also \"strongly encouraged.\" Tax evasion is pretty common the higher you get. Most of the high level distributors who earn 7+ figures only receive a fraction of their income from \"the business.\" The rest is cash taken from their downlines. \n For every Amway millionaire, there are thousands of downlines paying more for materials than they actually earn. In fact, the average Amway distributor earns less than $100 per month; far less than what they invest into promotional materials, motivational events and other Amway branded bull. For all but a few, Amway is a losing proposition.","Summary: Whole lotta pissed off women in DC yesterday.\n\nPost: Virginia passed the first US state law to require a transvaginal ultrasound before an abortion; a it's totally unnecessary procedure for pregnancy verification (fetal heartbeat et al) or termination.

Does it suck? Yeah, yeah it does. It's absolutely awful and I get disheartened every single day because of it. But you've got to learn for your own mental health that these people thrive off of saying the absolute worst thing they can think of and baiting other people to respond emotionally. By getting upset, you're just giving the them what they want. \n How to deal with them? Don't read the comments on the big subreddits. Subscribe to smaller subreddits that don't appeal to the asshats. Ignore the vitriol, learn to respond without bringing your emotions in to it, or just close your browser and walk away if you can't. You're never going to change these people; all you're doing is driving yourself nuts. \n Honestly, if you're so wrapped up in these comments that it's causing you that much distress, it might not be a bad idea to quit reddit. Find something that doesn't bother you so much. Learn to develop some emotional distance. Not everyone can deal with the nastiness, and that's perfectly okay.","Summary: Just don't. Buy your lists from a reputable source, and make sure they are opt-in. Direct Marketers Association is a good place to start. \n [Source: I'm a former employee of one of the mentioned bulk mail services, as well as a trained email marketer who managed lists containing over 100k subscribers.]\n\nPost: Unsolicited email is frowned on by all legitimate bulk mail services (Constant Contact, iContact, MailChimp, Bronto, Campaign Monitor, Emma, etc). To use something like a spider will result in - at the very least - your account being terminated without a refund. Don't think you can get away with it, either. These companies spend a lot of money to monitor customer lists and are very aggressive about dealing with people who send unsolicited email. \n Also, using the aforementioned \"services\" that scrape sites generally have extraordinarily high bounce rates and extraordinarily low conversion rates. The kind of email addresses you're likely to end up with are emails that are dead links or have filters that trash unsolicited commercial email. \n And finally, lest you hold to the delusion that \"unsolicited bulk email\" does not equal spam, I shall quote wikipedia: \n > Email spam, also known as unsolicited bulk Email (UBE), junk mail, or unsolicited commercial email (UCE), is the practice of sending unwanted email messages, frequently with commercial content, in large quantities to an indiscriminate set of recipients.","Summary: Your demographics and usage patterns, yes. Content hosted on AWS, no.\n\nPost: Well, kind of, sort of, not really. \n Pretty much any company that wants to can sell aggregate demographic information about their users. Selling advertising views is the most popular way to monetize that information, but there are literally hundreds of thousands of companies that make their profits by inventing new ways to mine that data. Amazon collects *[a lot]( of data about its users, and yes, it does share that data with third party providers, including third party advertising. \n Now, this data is different than your content. Amazon does not own the content that you host on AWS, and as such, cannot resell it to a third party. In fact, farther on in the AWS terms of service it says: \n >[Y]ou or your licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to Your Content. Except as provided in this Section 8, we obtain no rights under this Agreement ... to Your Content, including any related intellectual property rights. \n The only license they have to your content is a license to store and redistribute the content per your request . If you set the permissions on your content publicly available, then AWS will publicly serve up that content. If you set the permissions to private, then Amazon is obligated (within certain limits) to try to keep that private. \n So, what does this all mean? It means that the sites I have hosted on EC2, the documents stored in a private bucket on S3, the datastore on RDS, all these digital things belong to me, and Amazon can't share them with someone else unless I ask Amazon to (or as Amazon is required to by law). It also means that as part of using AWS or Amazon I accept that certain information will be collected about me - how I use the services, when I use the services, what I use the services for, etc - and that it could potentially be sold or given to a third party that collaborates with Amazon. \n The paragraph you quote is basically saying, \"here's our privacy policy, it covers what we do and don't collect. Anything you upload to us will stay in the datacenter region you selected, unless the law makes us do something different. You agree that we can collect the data that it says we may collect in our privacy policy. You also agree that the stuff you upload we can process (script parsing, SQL, etc) and transfer your content within the region you selected.\" There's a bit more to it than that, but IANAL and only have a layman's view of how all the safe harbor regulations work, so I couldn't really do an explanation justice.","Summary: Doc in a box tried to kill me through gross malpractice. My cat saved my life. True story.\n\nPost: Not nearly dramatic as most, but here goes: \n I take a medication that's traditionally used as anesthesia in order to sleep. Instead of sedating me to sleep like Ambien et al, it renders me unconscious. Because of this, I have to be very careful which medications I take in combination - the wrong combination could be fatal. \n Several years ago, I caught the flu and ended up with a spectacular case of walking pneumonia. I hied myself to the local doc in a box, and ended up with a handful of prescriptions, including one for cough syrup with codeine. The doctor assured me that the cough syrup was safe to take in combination with my sleeping medication, so I filled the 'script, went home, and promptly passed out in a feverish fugue. \n Later that night, after I'd taken both cough syrup and sleeping medication, I awoke to my cat frantically meowing and pawing at me (and he's part Siamese, so he was howling at the top of his lungs). This repeated several times, until I came to enough to realize that my chest was burning and I was involuntarily gasping for air every time my cat woke me up. It took me another 30 minutes to get enough oxygen back into my system to make the lightheadedness go away. \n The next morning, I took a closer look at my sleeping medication's prescribing information. Sure enough, codeine was one of the first medications specifically mentioned as being contraindicated by a black box warning . In my fugue state, I hadn't bothered to check, but trusted the doctor's judgement. If the cough syrup had been any stronger, or my cat hadn't cognizant enough to recognize that I wasn't breathing, or any of a small number of variables had been different, I would have died that night.","Summary: Girl wants to kick ass and fix her own car, but doesn't know where to start.\n\nPost: I'm a relatively mechanically gifted person - I worked in tech for many years and can build and repair computers, I take apart broken electronics for fun (and most of the time can fix them), can do basic home repairs, and think Harbor Freight Tools is a toy store. However, there's one piece of machinery that I own that I know little to nothing about, and I'd like to start changing that. \n I know only the very basics of car maintenance - I take my car to my mechanic to do anything more complicated than changing lights and fuses (and damn, does that man charge an arm and a leg for an oil change). I don't have access to a garage and I'm a fairly small woman, so major repairs are probably out. However, I'd like to be able to not feel completely helpless when my car breaks down, and to progress my knowledge to the point that I know when a mechanic is feeding me a line of bull. \n I own a '92 Nissan Stanza, and can get my hands on the Chilton pretty easily.

I've worked for the last year as a special-diet personal chef and GF baker, as well as being GF myself for about 2.5 years, and have done a lot of research into the business aspects of things \\n First off, the obvious: some of that markup is because GF is trendy in industrial food and trendy means \\\"markup.\\\" There's been 300% increase in GF products since 2005 (I think it might be closer to 400% now, but that's the citation I have in front of me). It's something a lot of existing businesses are capitalizing on in a big way, because it's very popular right now. \\n Secondly: The US government subsidizes wheat, which means, at least to US manufacturers, it's CHEAP. However, the combination of flours that make tasty GF products aren't, which means there's a significant difference in cost for ingredients. Example: as a wholesaler, I can buy 100 lbs of Bob's Red Mill regular all purpose for $50. To buy the ingredients to make up 100 lbs of my regular all-purpose flour blend, I spend $95. That doesn't even begin to factor in dough additives like xanthan gum, or the extra cost that goes into ensuring that other ingredients (milk, butter, sugar, etc) are also GF. \\n Thirdly: Because of most folks' gluten sensitivity, GF products can't be made in a shared facility. That means that investment has to be made into a GF facility. Outfitting a commercial kitchen isn't cheap - think high five/low six figures for a small operation, and you'd be pretty close. Even in an industrial situation, that facility has to be kept separate from gluten containing ingredients, which requires remodeling and reformulating the line. \\n Fourth: There are current bottlenecks in supply (not enough trained bakers, the food science behind GF baking is still very new and successful implementation of ANYTHING requires a lot of research and development, distribution isn't in place in certain areas, etc), and an extremely high demand. Low supply + large demand = rising costs. \\n That doesn't even begin to get into the issues of going through certification (stupid expensive, unreasonably so for small businesses), or even just the process of testing for gluten like Bob's Red Mill (that's also pricey). Just the startup costs alone ensure that a GF business will have to charge more than its normal wheat-based competitors.\",\n \"Summary: Commerical GF flour blends are a rip-off and xanthan gum isn't doing you any favors, either.\\n\\nPost: Their all-purpose GF blend is mostly garbanzo bean flour, which has an awful aftertaste, particularly raw.

The basic ratio is 40% whole grains/protein (brown rice, almond meal, oat, sorghum, millet, buckwheat, even bean flours) to 60% starch (sweet rice, potato, tapioca, corn, arrowroot). \\n I also don't use xanthan gum. It's what gives everything that awful gummy mouthfeel, and it's not good for you in the quantities that most people eat it in. Instead I use ground chia seed in the same proportions as the gum, sometimes dry, sometimes mixed with an equal amount of water. The texture from chia seed is incredible - most people don't realize my baked goods are gluten-free!\",\n \"Summary: Try not to think about it too hard. \\n (Edit: clarified a couple phrases.)\\n\\nPost: Short answer: Yes. \\n Long answer: Yes, sort of. They can discern changes in their environment and will register nociceptive pain (pain caused by mechanical, thermal, or chemical means) and will react accordingly. A cockroach that's been stepped on can register that on some level. Invertebrates will learn from and react to stimuli that's painful, they can tolerate painful stimuli with opiod drugs like morphine, and they will try to avoid it. \\n Now, the question is, does that roach suffer as a result of being stepped on? Is the roach aware of his mortality? The general assumption among entomologists is that invertebrates don't have a sophisticated enough nervous system to process pain as anything more than another stimuli; the roach doesn't go, \\\"ouch, that hurts.\\\" It just reacts. However, there's really no conclusive proof one way or another. There's no way to measure suffering, particularly in animals so dissimilar to our own biology. No one really knows if they suffer or not.\",\n \"Summary: Strong Kegels aren't always a bonus.\\n\\nPost: I was in my mid-20s and had been reading about menstrual cups.

Persistent cookies will remain after a browser's cache is cleared or a user session ends; that's why they're called persistent in the first place. They have to be deleted by going into advanced privacy settings on most browsers. There are a lot of benign uses for persistent cookies - the most common of which is the ubiquitous \\\"keep me logged in\\\" - but they can also be used in combination with a mixture of script and images called \\\"web beacons\\\" to track your movement across other sites. By landing on a site that has a web beacon, you send back a report to the cookie's originating site with data like the date, time, IP, referring web site, etc. This information is then stored along with your profile in order to refine advertising profiles. This is one of the ways Facebook is able to know that someone's visited say, Sephora, and target them with makeup ads. \\n There is also a variety of online databases that create detailed profiles of individual users, and there has been for a very long time. For example, in 1999, Doubleclick - which is now the core of Google's advertising suite - purchased a company that collected information about catalog subscribers in order to try to link personal information like name and address with Doubleclick's existing advertising database. That was 15 years ago, when the technology was just being developed. These days, it's huge business to track your user's data. It's an industry that those in the IT world call \\\"big data\\\" and those advertising and marketing databases contains a wide variety of information about you. Do you use a customer loyalty card? Every single purchase you make with one of those is tracked and analyzed. Shop online or use social media? Amazon has a huge amount of data on you, as does Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, so on. You have to understand, this is how these companies make money. You and I are worth $6 each per year in income to Facebook. What are they selling? The data they've collected from your profile, news posts, interactions with friends, everything they possibly can. \\n There are also ways to track users that don't involve cookies, including <canvas> fingerprinting; shared objects like Active X, Flash, and Silverlight; GPS, cellphone tower, and wireless network tracking; TCP/IP fingerprinting; and more. Cookies are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to user tracking and profiling. There is an extraordinary amount of information available on each and every person who uses the Internet, and it grows exponentially larger each year. Wait until Target can connect your habits at their store - which they already monitor and analyze, to [often alarming results]( - with the advertisers' databases they're renting from Google. I monitor what data about myself I can access, and I'm often amazed at how accurate machine learning is becoming, particularly in combination with the vast quantities of data collected from our mobile devices. It's scary; the infamous \\\"they\\\" really does know everything about you.\",\n \"Summary: and obDisclaimer: It's probably nothing to worry about, but you should see your doc again.\\n\\nPost: It's possible you may be pregnant, and that you're having first trimester breakthrough bleeding. It's also just as possible that something else in your body has changed, either from emotions like stress or fatigue, something like a diet or medication change, or just a hormonal change from age or the pill. \\n A few questions: \\n \\n Were you on any other medication or supplement, or take any recreational drugs while you were visiting your boyfriend (or shortly before or after)? Antibiotics, barbiturates, and supplements like St. Johns Wort can all cause the pill to become less effective. \\n \\n Have you been under any unusual stress - good or bad - or experienced any other life changes in the last two months? \\n \\n Do you have any other symptoms, or has anything else changed about your period? Lower back pain where there was none? Breasts that are more tender than usual? A sensation of feeling constantly gassy or full? Cravings for food that you normally don't crave? Do you have a fever, a sensation of constantly having to urinate, or unusual vaginal discharge? \\n \\n How old are you? \\n \\n How long have you been on hormonal birth control - not just the Loestren, but any hormonal birth control? \\n \\n \\n I wouldn't freak out, so take a deep breath. It is natural for a woman's cycle to change throughout her life - in fact, hormonal changes from puberty can last well into your mid-20s. Likewise, hormonal BCP have been known to change a woman's cycle over time. Ofc, if the tests come up positive, you have a clear answer - but it's quite likely that something else has changed and you'll never quite know what happened.\",\n \"Summary: we don't have enough apartment for three cats. How can we find a forever home for a kitty with issues, who really should be an only-kitty?\\n\\nPost: I'm the aforementioned girlfriend - yes, I've taken her to the vet. It's behavioral in nature, at least on the male's part. I've tried relocating litter boxes, buying new litter boxes, new food dishes, Feliway, reading books on cat psychology and implementing their advice, reintroductions, keeping them separate, scruffing, waterguns, shouting \\\"no,\\\" redirecting their attention, you name it. Part of the problem is that the calico has feline eosinophilic granulomas and just doesn't smell quite right. Part of the problem is the male objects to items in the house being peed on. Most of the problem is that the apartment just isn't big enough for three cats - when I originally got the girls, I lived in a two story townhome, and now we live in an apartment that's maybe half the size. \\n I've done everything I can, and nothing's worked. The only solution now is to find her a new home - but every no-kill shelter in the area is booked solid, and I've been asking friends, family, and anyone who's even mentioned wanting a cat for months without any luck. I'm at the point where I'm ready to take out a Craigslist ad, but I'm wary of just dumping a kitty with known problems on a stranger. She's a sweet cat and I want to find her a forever home with someone who can deal with said issues, instead of having to worry about her well-being.\",\n \"Summary: We want to pay; what's the difficulty with figuring out how to take our money?\\n\\nPost: Why hasn't the MPAA and its contemporaries done more to embrace digital media?

The reason consumers turn to pirating isn't an issue of cost, it's an issue of availability and convenience: we want current content, streamed from the Internet, on a multitude of devices.\",\n \"Summary: I knew a lot of people who were adamantly childfree in their 20s. All but one now have kids. Ask me how many college-aged atheists I knew who are now Orthodox Christian!\\n\\nPost: The beliefs you hold hard and fast at 22 are probably not the same things you'll hold at 32. At 22, I vehemently didn't want kids. I actively identified as genderqueer and was thinking about transitioning FtM. I wanted to be a teacher. I knew who I was and how I felt about the world, and that was never going to change! Except it did. \\n Every time I read \\\"I'm 22 and [this] is what I believe and it'll never change!\\\" I roll my eyes and think 'give it time, sister.' It will change. It may not change dramatically, but it will change - and some things will change in ways you don't expect. Nothing is static and nothing lives in a vacuum. There is no guarantee that what is true for you today will be true tomorrow.\",\n \"Summary: women's bodies are neat.\\n\\nPost: Okay, so, here's how the basic cycle works: \\n Day 1 is when your period starts, usually the day after your basal body temperature drops. After your period ends, your body starts preparing for ovulation. Your uterus rises in your abdominal cavity, your vagina elongates, and it starts producing cervical mucus. Now, it's important to understand that there will always be some discharge, regardless where you are in your cycle. It's also important to note that the follicular period - the period where your ovaries are making an egg - varies not only from woman to woman but can change from cycle to cycle. It's usually about two weeks long but will change in response to environmental factors. If you're stressed or sick, your body won't produce an egg until it thinks it's \\\"safe\\\" to ovulate. Likewise, if you're spending a lot of time with a man (tbh I'm not sure if it works the same if you have a female partner) you're attracted to, it can come early. \\n Before ovulation, the texture, color and quantity will change to the slippery \\\"egg white\\\" consistency most women see. (It's not the same for everyone, my fertile mucus is sometimes yellow.) This period can last anywhere from a week to a day or two. On the day quantity and \\\"slipperiness\\\" are at their highest, that's called the \\\"peak day.\\\" Mucus peak generally occurs 48 hours or so before actual ovulation; it's easier to get pregnant on peak days because the mucus aids sperm motility and the sperm have enough time to travel to the fallopian tubes to inseminate the egg. It's also possible to have your mucus peak multiple times because your body didn't have enough estrogen to successfully produce an egg. During this time, your uterus is at its highest point, your cervix is soft, and the cervical opening (called the os) is open. You may also experience a one-sided ovulatory cramp called \\\"mittelschmerz,\\\" as well as spotting or light bleeding. After this ovulation period occurs, your basal body temperature rises by several tenths of a degree within a day or two, your uterus begins to lower itself in your abdominal cavity, and your cervix firms back up, dries up, and closes. This latter stage is called the luteal phase, and unlike the follicular stage, stays pretty consistent from cycle to cycle. \\n Cervical mucus is only one way to determine when ovulation occurs. For those women who are either trying to get pregnant or using fertility awareness as a contraception method, combining mucus states with cervical position and basal body temperature is the gold standard. It's still an imperfect mechanism, but will usually allow you to determine when you've ovulated within a 24 hour period or so.\",\n \"Summary: It's pretty, but I can't actually read what they're trying to say.

We are a hedge.\\n\\nPost: I would be willing to accept their thesis if they weren't obviously trying to part us from our dollars. If you go and read the sources cited, they're couched in entirely different terms. For example, this: \\n > \\\"Those with intestinal inflammation (and not villous atrophy) had a 4.66-fold increased risk of death the first year after diagnosis and a 72% increased risk of death over the study period\\\" \\n ...and you check the source, and it says: \\n > Conclusion: Risk of death among patients with celiac disease, inflammation, or latent celiac disease is modestly increased.\\\" \\n \\\"Modestly increased'\\\" is a hell of a lot harder to sell than \\\"a 72% increased risk of death.\\\" That's after discounting the fact that the \\\"study period\\\" was 43 years and that just about anything will increase your risk of death after awhile. \\n The point of a GF diet is not to heal the damage done by celiac disease - that's already been done - but to limit future damage. It's an autoimmune disorder, and those gluten-attacking T-Cells aren't going to go away.\",\n \"Summary: Science good, advertiser's application of science: still bad.\\n\\nPost: From that same study: \\n > \\\"The higher absolute mortality among patients with inflammation is partly explained by their older age at study entry.\\\" \\n My favorite: \\n > \\\"Since HRs in the first year of follow-up were so different from that of later follow-up, we excluded the first year of follow-up from all subanalyses. Celiac disease is a lifelong disorder, and relative risks excluding the first year better estimate the long-term mortality risk.\\\" \\n The item being cited was considered to be an anomaly and excluded from further analysis. \\n The article authors state repeatedly that there are limitations to their research: \\n > \\\"The introduction of celiac disease serological markers has allowed screening of individuals with less marked symptoms; it is therefore possible that earlier studies (based on data until 2000) overestimate the risk of death in celiac disease.\\\" \\n And: \\n > \\\"[T]he predictive value and long-term consequences of celiac disease serology in individuals with normal mucosa are unknown.\\\" \\n Also: \\n > \\\"One explanation for the high initial estimates could be that some patients with severe preexisting morbidity undergo small-intestinal biopsy as part of a general investigation. This could also explain why we found high 1-year-risk estimates independent of histopathology. In patients with celiac disease, persisting inflammation, even after introduction of a gluten-free diet, may have contributed to the high HRs in the first year after biopsy, as normalization of the mucosa often takes up to a year.\\\" \\n If you go back and reread, you note this section: \\n > \\\"We also estimated the risk of overall death in a subset of 3392 individuals with villous atrophy and positive celiac disease serology. We did not estimate the risk of death in individuals with inflammation and positive celiac disease serology because of lack of cases. \\\" \\n Only patients who have Marsh stage 3 villous atrophy (severe damage) were included in this survey. Patients who had inflammation (Marsh 1-2, or partial damage) or none at all were excluded. Marsh 3 is pretty damn sick to begin with - of the people I know personally with celiac and flattened villi, none have ranked a Marsh 3. The point of testing early and sticking to the diet is to prevent just that. \\n Just a few more: \\n > We did not adjust for smoking. \\n > We did not have access to weight and height data. \\n >In conclusion, we found increased HRs for death in individuals with biopsy-verified celiac disease, inflammation, and latent celiac disease, although absolute risks were small. ...

A car in front of me decided to pull an unexpected right; I was following too closely and had no room to stop. Oncoming traffic was super light, so I pulled into the opposite lane ... only to discover that the car in front of of me had also concealed an oncoming car, too. \\n In a feat straight out of a Vin Diesel movie, I managed to maneuver my car between both vehicles, avoiding what would have been a major three-car collision at 50 some miles an hour.

They're fairly high up in the organization - a direct downline of one of the largest distributors in the area. As such, I've had a fairly unique insight into the workings of Amway. Here's the deal: \\n Can you make money in MLM? Yes. Does it involve shady, cash-only, under the table dealings to do so? Abso-fucking-loutely. \\n The official line is this: you become a distributor and start recruiting \\\"downlines.\\\" For each downline you have, you earn a percentage of their sales. They in turn sponsor more downlines, and you get a cut from them, so on, so forth. You're told that once you built up your network, you can potentially make millions of dollars from Amway. \\n What they don't tell you is that the last part is a total lie . \\n Amway caps distributor earnings at (last I looked) $100,000 per year. Now, $100k isn't exactly something to sneeze at, but it's hardly the \\\"millions per year\\\" that an upline will tell you can earn. Where does the rest of that income come from? Well, as a distributor, you're expected to attend motivational seminars and networking events and purchase motivational books and tapes. Who puts on these events and makes these motivational materials? Why, your uplines, that's who. \\n From the moment you join, you're told by your uplines that you must buy into this scam to succeed. Failure to attend these events or purchase these materials will result in you being blacklisted by other regional distributors. So instead of buying \\\"household items\\\" to increase your earnings - like they tell you in the initial sales pitches - you're actually spending thousands of dollars on cult-like conferences, self-published books, and home burned CDs and DVDs. \\n The conferences - which pull in thousands, sometimes millions - are cash only. No checks, no credit cards, and absolutely no accounting. Paying with cash for your motivational materials is also \\\"strongly encouraged.\\\" Tax evasion is pretty common the higher you get. Most of the high level distributors who earn 7+ figures only receive a fraction of their income from \\\"the business.\\\" The rest is cash taken from their downlines. \\n For every Amway millionaire, there are thousands of downlines paying more for materials than they actually earn. In fact, the average Amway distributor earns less than $100 per month; far less than what they invest into promotional materials, motivational events and other Amway branded bull. For all but a few, Amway is a losing proposition.\",\n \"Summary: Whole lotta pissed off women in DC yesterday.\\n\\nPost: Virginia passed the first US state law to require a transvaginal ultrasound before an abortion; a it's totally unnecessary procedure for pregnancy verification (fetal heartbeat et al) or termination.

The hearing is debating the constitutionality of the situation, not a woman's right to choose, but even still...\",\n \"Summary: the only way to win this particular game is not to play.\\n\\nPost: I've been on the Internet for 20 years now, and these attitudes have been prevalent for the entirety of that time. Does it suck? Yeah, yeah it does. It's absolutely awful and I get disheartened every single day because of it. But you've got to learn for your own mental health that these people thrive off of saying the absolute worst thing they can think of and baiting other people to respond emotionally. By getting upset, you're just giving the them what they want. \\n How to deal with them? Don't read the comments on the big subreddits. Subscribe to smaller subreddits that don't appeal to the asshats. Ignore the vitriol, learn to respond without bringing your emotions in to it, or just close your browser and walk away if you can't. You're never going to change these people; all you're doing is driving yourself nuts. \\n Honestly, if you're so wrapped up in these comments that it's causing you that much distress, it might not be a bad idea to quit reddit. Find something that doesn't bother you so much. Learn to develop some emotional distance. Not everyone can deal with the nastiness, and that's perfectly okay.\",\n \"Summary: Just don't. Buy your lists from a reputable source, and make sure they are opt-in. Direct Marketers Association is a good place to start. \\n [Source: I'm a former employee of one of the mentioned bulk mail services, as well as a trained email marketer who managed lists containing over 100k subscribers.]\\n\\nPost: Unsolicited email is frowned on by all legitimate bulk mail services (Constant Contact, iContact, MailChimp, Bronto, Campaign Monitor, Emma, etc). To use something like a spider will result in - at the very least - your account being terminated without a refund. Don't think you can get away with it, either. These companies spend a lot of money to monitor customer lists and are very aggressive about dealing with people who send unsolicited email. \\n Also, using the aforementioned \\\"services\\\" that scrape sites generally have extraordinarily high bounce rates and extraordinarily low conversion rates. The kind of email addresses you're likely to end up with are emails that are dead links or have filters that trash unsolicited commercial email. \\n And finally, lest you hold to the delusion that \\\"unsolicited bulk email\\\" does not equal spam, I shall quote wikipedia: \\n > Email spam, also known as unsolicited bulk Email (UBE), junk mail, or unsolicited commercial email (UCE), is the practice of sending unwanted email messages, frequently with commercial content, in large quantities to an indiscriminate set of recipients.\",\n \"Summary: Your demographics and usage patterns, yes. Content hosted on AWS, no.\\n\\nPost: Well, kind of, sort of, not really. \\n Pretty much any company that wants to can sell aggregate demographic information about their users. Selling advertising views is the most popular way to monetize that information, but there are literally hundreds of thousands of companies that make their profits by inventing new ways to mine that data. Amazon collects *[a lot]( of data about its users, and yes, it does share that data with third party providers, including third party advertising. \\n Now, this data is different than your content. Amazon does not own the content that you host on AWS, and as such, cannot resell it to a third party. In fact, farther on in the AWS terms of service it says: \\n >[Y]ou or your licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to Your Content. Except as provided in this Section 8, we obtain no rights under this Agreement ... to Your Content, including any related intellectual property rights. \\n The only license they have to your content is a license to store and redistribute the content per your request . If you set the permissions on your content publicly available, then AWS will publicly serve up that content. If you set the permissions to private, then Amazon is obligated (within certain limits) to try to keep that private. \\n So, what does this all mean? It means that the sites I have hosted on EC2, the documents stored in a private bucket on S3, the datastore on RDS, all these digital things belong to me, and Amazon can't share them with someone else unless I ask Amazon to (or as Amazon is required to by law). It also means that as part of using AWS or Amazon I accept that certain information will be collected about me - how I use the services, when I use the services, what I use the services for, etc - and that it could potentially be sold or given to a third party that collaborates with Amazon. \\n The paragraph you quote is basically saying, \\\"here's our privacy policy, it covers what we do and don't collect. Anything you upload to us will stay in the datacenter region you selected, unless the law makes us do something different. You agree that we can collect the data that it says we may collect in our privacy policy. You also agree that the stuff you upload we can process (script parsing, SQL, etc) and transfer your content within the region you selected.\\\" There's a bit more to it than that, but IANAL and only have a layman's view of how all the safe harbor regulations work, so I couldn't really do an explanation justice.\",\n \"Summary: Doc in a box tried to kill me through gross malpractice. My cat saved my life. True story.\\n\\nPost: Not nearly dramatic as most, but here goes: \\n I take a medication that's traditionally used as anesthesia in order to sleep. Instead of sedating me to sleep like Ambien et al, it renders me unconscious. Because of this, I have to be very careful which medications I take in combination - the wrong combination could be fatal. \\n Several years ago, I caught the flu and ended up with a spectacular case of walking pneumonia. I hied myself to the local doc in a box, and ended up with a handful of prescriptions, including one for cough syrup with codeine. The doctor assured me that the cough syrup was safe to take in combination with my sleeping medication, so I filled the 'script, went home, and promptly passed out in a feverish fugue. \\n Later that night, after I'd taken both cough syrup and sleeping medication, I awoke to my cat frantically meowing and pawing at me (and he's part Siamese, so he was howling at the top of his lungs). This repeated several times, until I came to enough to realize that my chest was burning and I was involuntarily gasping for air every time my cat woke me up. It took me another 30 minutes to get enough oxygen back into my system to make the lightheadedness go away. \\n The next morning, I took a closer look at my sleeping medication's prescribing information. Sure enough, codeine was one of the first medications specifically mentioned as being contraindicated by a black box warning . In my fugue state, I hadn't bothered to check, but trusted the doctor's judgement.

Would be more fun in a game like COD4 than useful in a combat unit!\n\nPost: Feasible? Yeah, but likely not practical using the exact same setup as a P90, for the following reasons. \n 1) 40mm round length. They are long, so the magazine would be really wide, like 3 inches wide, at least. Then the even wider feed mechanism to grab the round, rotate it 90 degrees, move it down into the chamber and load it... the weapon would be something like 4 inches+ wide at the top, and top heavy to boot. \n 2) the purpose of the M32 6 shot revolving grenade launcher is not only rapid follow up of the initial round (unlike the m203), and increased firepower for the squad, but it's also the fact that the m32 can use non lethal and non-impact rounds. My squad in Iraq, we'd carry the m32 on night missions, loaded with White star parachutes. (Those are 5.272 inches long and would never work with a p90-based feed system design) the advantage of this round is that we used NVGs during the night, but if we received fire from an unknown source, we could light up the better part of a grid square in about 5 seconds, and keep it illuminated for almost two minutes while we engaged the located, engaged and suppressed the enemy. Wait till the light burned out, then maneuver on him in darkness with our NVGs. \n 3-4) (this is a double-reason). The training-practice rounds used my the m203 and m32 for years are blue plastic tipped, orange chalk filled rounds that ballisticly match the trajectory of the HEDP round. The problem is two-fold, we also use these rounds in combat to mark targets for tanks/AAAvs, mk19s etc as well as for EOF as one way to get a vehicle to stop if other means fail, without having to resort to killing someone. Well, the plastic tips are fragile, and likely wouldn't take well to the stress of being crammed into a magazine, and the moved through a 90 degree rotational feed mechanism. They'd break in the weapon, making it useless. They even break in our current systems, too. But in a M203, you just open the breach and dump it out... with a M32 you just rotate the cylinder to the next round and keep firing. \n 4) Signalling- The M203 and M32 are used for signals with the Star cluster rounds, again these are over 5 inches long, wouldn't work being loaded sideways, the just would be over half a foot wide. \n 5)- weight. The M32 is HEAVY. 13.2 lbs Empty, 19.2 lbs loaded. And that's only 6 rounds. You need at least a certain # rounds when you go into a fight, so you've got at least a few reloads of the thing, otherwise you might as well just bring an M16/203 combo and have a rifle too. so you've got a 19 lb launcher and another ton of ammo, in addition to your ass load of body Armour, water and food, radio and extra batteries, frag grenades, your M9, ammo, your NVGs, extra batteries for that, then an assortment of other things like LZ marking kits, IFAK medical bag, Tourniquet, note taking gear, a snack, random extra batteries, pen flare for EOF, etc etc etc.... I'd rather not add very-bulky/heavy 5-7 shot 40mm magazines to this loadout, ya know? \n In the end, I think the negatives just outweigh the positives here. You'd gain increased reload speed, maybe one more shot-per-reload if you made it a 6 shot magazine with one in the chamber. You'd lose the ability to fir non-lethal rounds, you'd lose the ability to provide night illumination, you'd lose the ability to use it as a signalling weapon, or use Star clusters for EOF and you'd likely not be able to use the current practice round for training for marking/EOF in combat. And you'd have a more complex, therefor more likely to break weapon, that would have more moving parts and be less user-serviceable by the end user... the guy who relies on this weapon for his life.","Summary: I hate that shit.\n\nPost: I went and partied in D.C. a while back and a friend got the hotel room for us. We get there and the fucking CPAC conference (conservative PAC) is there. We go up to the bar in the hotel and fuck, you know we stand out, two guys in their mid twenties, fresh shave, good posture and stupid medium-reg haircuts. Anyways, this older lady asks us if we are in the military. I usually say no, but she got me off guard, so I said yes. She immediately grabbed my shoulder and said, \"I'm so sorry Obama is ruining the military.\" I was a few drinks in, but asked her, \"How is he ruining the military?\" She stumbled with her words and recited a few Fox talking points. Bottom line: She had no clue. I actually took a few minutes to explain that the military wasn't being \"ruined\", that we are in the middle of the biggest recession in recent history, had been fighting two wars for nearly or more than 10 years, and we had to trim some fat, obviously. I explained reset costs and how those were going to skyrocket over the next two years, etc.","Summary: My granddad is a boss.\n\nPost: I feel like I'll never live up to my granddad, he's an example of why they really were the greatest generation. \n Things my awesome granddad did... \n As a kid during the great depression, he operated with his family an illegal whiskey/mooshine business on the farm. \n He lied about his age to enlist in the Army and fight in WWII. \n In WWII he helped liberate concentration camps then went on to serve as a guard for the Nuremberg trials. \n After the war he went back to his home state. He ran the farm, got a degree, got married. \n He got into politics and went all the way up to be a senator in his home state. \n He moved over the the Department of education to be the liason for education in the state and flew to Washington all the time, and traveled all over the state. \n He moved back to his farm, had 4 kids; two girls and two boys. \n He became headmaster of a local school, and did this until retirement. \n He personally cut through the red tape to have an National Guard armory built in his home town. \n He bought more land and had a giant lake built on it. \n He's 87 years old and recently fenced in his entire property... using a by-hand post hole digger, and pulled the fence using his tractor. He put in every post surrounding 100 acres of land BY himself. In August. In the southeast US. He's unreal. And he eats bacon and eggs every morning, goes to church every Sunday, and works harder than anyone I've ever met. \n Recently He built a barn for his equipment. He built it himself, using spare lumber, with no plans. It's beautiful. It's literally a work of art. And he did it from his head, not writing down any measurements. He even fell off a ladder at one point, knocking out a front tooth. Now he laughs about this. \n He's still married to the same woman that he married over 50 years ago.","Summary: If it were radar tracked and slewed, or even remotely operated with advanced optics, it would be surprising; the fact that they have gatling guns is not so surprising.\n\nPost: It surprised me at first, but if you think about it, the US developed the predecessor to the M61A1 in the 1940's and it was deployed on US aircraft in the 1950's. If you'll notice, the gun in the photo looks manually aimed. I'd say in comparison to a Phalanx CIWS, (which itself is based around the GE M61 series of gatling guns) the biggest leap is the fact that it is radar tracked and fired. (newer blocks can be manually aimed with new optics for engaging small boat threats).","Summary: Driving in Asia is an exercise in anger management and crash avoidance.\n\nPost: As a guy who used to live in Germany, that now lives in Japan and travels around Asia a lot... I miss German Drivers so much. Today, driving for MAYBE 7 minutes, I had the following things occur: A guy just stopped driving and turned his hazard lights on. No explanation. He shut down half the road. In a parking lot, had a car sideways blocking the entire lane. A whole family was standing around it and they looked to be giving directions to someone. People were honking, I ended up just parking since I essentially blocked in. I witnessed a lady that had full length arm \"gloves\" on, and side curtains in her car (yeah, totally blocking her view) just change two lanes without looking. I had to stand on my brakes. (fortunately I just got new pads installed two weeks ago). I saw four people run a red turn light, I almost took out a motorcyclist that was going at least 30kph over the speed limit and weaving through traffic, and I got cut off by a fucking bus that just turned on his turn signal and pulled into traffic.","Summary: In the city, hybrids rock... on the highway it's more economical to buy a cheaper car that gets roughly the same highway mileage anyway.\n\nPost: The fuel savings of a Hybrid is only truly realized in urban driving. If you look at the highway MPG of a hybrid, it's typically about the same as a similar non-hybrid car. This is because at highway speeds and distance, the engine is on almost the entire time anyway, both to overcome drag at high speed, and because at highway distances you'd burn through your hybrid's battery power in no time at all. Additionally, the hybrid now has to overcome the additional weight of the batteries (not insignificant) and the electric motors/ regen braking gear etc. \n The reason they work so much better in the city is simple. You often run on just the electric motor/battery power, and due to regenerative braking, everytime you brake it's helping to recharge the battery. In a normal car, when you brake int he city, it kills your MPG because you have to burn gas to get back up to speed. Well, in the hybrid, it's giving you additional electric range.","Summary: We have thousands of programs we spend money on, sure, some of them might be wasteful, but a lot are taken out of context, and when you see that, you see that many are necessary.\n\nPost: Some of this is taken well out of context. (ex.) Overseas, we watch AFN TV and they have to make their own commercials since there's some legal stipulation to prevent them from showing the one's in the states. So, our combat camera guys and gals make video shorts like the \"grill it safe\" video. What's not said is that we have now 6+ channels of US Television in a foreign country and the only minor downside is that we have to provide some filler for the usual commercial time. So , they give us a bunch of ORM or \"have a good holiday\" or, \"here's how to use this website\" type videos, some of which are actually quite useful. \n Another of This guy's pet peeves is the Pentagon developing a new, better tasting beef jerky. One of the DOD's jobs is to provide deployed servicemen and women with healthy, shelf stable foods; of course they are going to spend money to research to make lighter weight, longer lasting, tasty food for us.","Summary: I still want and damn go-kart and I'm 28.\n\nPost: All I ever wanted as a kid was a go-kart. I'm not complaining, I had a great childhood, I had a trampoline, guns, dogs, etc but never a go-kart. It's my own fault because if I had sat down like an adult and told my parents I appreciated my other toys, but what I wanted more than anything was a go-kart, and told them I'd be willing to sacrifice the other things (I would have been) I know I could have gotten one.","Summary: Buy it, sounds good. I think you'll be pleased. \n If I may make one recommendation to make this vehicle an awesome highway cruiser: Honda has royally skimped on sound deadening recently. My 2008 Civic is loud inside. My friend's CR-V is loud inside too. Take it to an audio shop, pay $200ish and get the doors dynamatted. It makes an enormous difference. I had the majority of the cab in my old 2006 crew cab Tacoma done this way, and it made such a huge difference in road noise. (I had 33\"x12.5\" BFG A/Ts on it, so it was loud prior to this) I think your family will really be happy! good luck!\n\nPost: The Ridgeline is one of those vehicles where if you can get past the styling part of it, it's a highly capable vehicle. I considered one myself for a while. I think it sounds like a great deal, and I've done a bit of research, within 150 miles of me, that price is between $5,000-$8,000 cheaper than the 11 available vehicles. As far as reliability goes, that engine is a proven design, and the Ridgeline itself has had very few problems overall. The fuel economy isn't bad at all when compared to comparable rivals like the Frontier and Tacoma. The locking waterproof under-bed trunk is awesome, too by the way. I'm not a huge fan of the interior design, it looks quite dated, but it is highly functional. Most controls you'll find you can use with gloves on, which is nice.","Summary: Wear the uniform of the day to get your ID card photo made. Civvies are acceptable, but the professional answer is wear cammies, at least. And no one really cares that much.\n\nPost: Always read the reference and don't listen to the other guys that are too lazy to look up the answer themselves. If you google it, you'll find that DoD Instruction 1000.13 is the defining order regulating the issuance of the DoD ID card. \n \"6.3.4.6.8. Photographs. All DD Forms 1173-1 shall have a passport type, and full-faced photograph of the bearer affixed to the obverse side and shall be laminated, using the heat-pressure method, before issuance.\" \n No mention of uniform. \n I've had an ID card made in civilian attire, Service Charlies and a couple in cammies. All are acceptable as per the DoDI. \n Now, as far as professionalism goes, I'd hazard to guess that greater than 75% of Officers are wearing their cammies in their ID card photo. That said, no one is ever likely to give you shit for your ID card photo, and when you get to TBS you'll be reporting in to your fellow LT's in the green carpet area.","Summary: Be positive, smile and always be ready to say something nice. People like being around people that don't suck.\n\nPost: Used to have this. I was socially awkward, shy and would rather read a book than go out. One day my friend Matt came to my room and said, \"dude, you're going out tonight. And every weekend until I say differently. Come to my room.\" In his room he had laid out a set of nice \"going out\" clothes for me to wear. The first night the goal was to just go to a bar, talk and have a beer. Over the course of a few months we built up to talking to a someone at a bar, how to flirt with girls, what types of drinks are good, what different beers are like, etc etc. \n He did more to break me of my social awkwardness than anyone could have ever done. No one ever asked him to do it either... I don't think I ever really thanked him for it either. Just 6 months or so later, I was \"one of the guys\" and went out a lot. \n Now I've fully embraced the fact that I'm a geek, and I love to read, I built my desktop computer a few months ago, play minecraft... but I love to go out and have drinks and party too. In college I did more, now I do a bit less. But the fun part is that I can do both, and I enjoy both, and I'm not holding myself back. \n End of the day, the most important thing he taught me was that people know when you aren't being you. If you're trying to fake being comfortable, it'll show through. When we went to a bar I sucked up my pride and I'd say, \"I've never had that brown bottle with the red top. What is that?\" And ask the bartender, and get them to explain Maker's Mark, how to drink it, what to mix it with if you like them mixxed, etc. \n People that say crap like \"don't be shy\" are fooling themselves. Of course you're going to be shy! Embrace it a bit, admit when you haven't done something and laugh about it. After a bit I found out that attitude helped me a lot.","Summary: You get trained to the point that yes, your last few land-nav events are literally you're released into the woods alone and you have to find these damn boxes and then make your way back.\n\nPost: Well there's a few different types of Land navigation tests we do. The best \"progressively difficult\" courses I saw were at our Officer Basic School. It basically ammounted to several hours of classes, then classroom practical application of finding grids and map reading. Then we took a terrain walk and were shown how the terrain compares to the map, and especially when you use different map sizes (1:25000 vs 1:50000, etc). Then we do a detailed pace count on flat and a pace count over terrain. This is followed by a daylight land nav course in a relatively small area, with \"Self correcting\" land nav boxes. (i.e. the boxes have the grid on them, so if you find the box at the grid you were looking for, you can double check it. Then we do a couple more land nav courses that get gradually larger in area, longer in the number of boxes you have to hit, and harder in that there's just a number or letter on the box, so you don't know for sure if that's the box you were looking for. This culminates in a full-day, individual effort daytime land navigation course covering like ~24SqKM where you had to find maby 8 or ten boxes, and you end up walking like 16+KM (some more, some less defending on the route you choose and the luck of the draw IRT boxes you have to find) As far as night land nav, I believe we did three or four land nav tracks that again got progressively more difficult and longer legs. All this is spread over the course of 6 months of training covering everything else as a basic platoon commander without specialized infantry training. \n As an enlisted infantryman, I received much faster-paced, less in-depth and less-difficult land navigation training. This is largely due to the fact that they have to push so many enlisted guys through that training, and it's barely over a month as it is. The officers in TBS, there are less of them and they have 6 months to train you. If you're an officer that then goes infantry (0302) as an MOS, then you go onto another 3 months of field training, and do even more land navigation training within that package. \n Hope this helps explain it a bit better.","Summary: Risked life to save a couple hours of time.\n\nPost: In Iraq in 2006, I was a squad leader, and we had been on patrol all day, in and out of our vehicles, and it was upwards of 130 degrees outside at the hottest part of the day. Well, we're trying to make it back to the FOB (our home-made base) and we're on this road and we keep having to stop and do IED sweeps of the road at bridges, or when there's anything suspicious near the road. \n Well, after several hours of this shit, it's just getting dark, and we're still like 6 KM from our FOB. The convoy stops again. There's some suspicious stuff near the road, I hear this on my PRR radio. The convoy commander asks for us to dismount and see what it is. \n Keep in mind, we have this mini-robot that's made to search stuff out, it's in this big Pelican plastic case, and you break it out, turn it on, and remote control it to whatever is suspicious and check it out via camera and wireless video feed. Anyways the whole process takes a while. I was pissed. We were out of water, hungry, hot and fucking exhausted. this is not to mention that getting out of the 7 ton truck was a cluster fuck to start with since ours had a broken ladder. \n I told my squad to stay put. I jumped out, and started walking to the \"suspicious\" object. Keep in mind this was pretty much the peak of the \"IEDs\", and we had been hit multiple times, in fact there was a pretty good guy we hadn't been able to catch that had actually gotten my 7 ton on my first vehicle patrol. (triple stack 155mm on a pressure plate). \n Anyways, the suspicious item is this large 4-5 gallon aluminum or tin square can, right next to the road, with some rocks around it. I'll give our driver credit, it did totally look shady. the sun had just set, the mosque had failed to sound the evening call to prayer or whatnot (this was 5 years ago, my memory is slightly fuzzy) anyways, the situation was a bit hairy, and we were less than 1km from an outpost that had been hid by a VBIED a day or two before. I looked back, saw my guys sweating it out in the truck, said fuck it, I walked straight to the can, kicked it over, knocked the rocks away, swept the ground and didn't see anything. Then I walked by out in front of the convoy the next half mile or so through this shady section of town. (a couple of fellow Marines, all Cpl and above like myself joined me) we let the guys sit it out, and the two-three of us just walked/ jogged ahead of everyone through the worst area, checking anything suspicious by kicking it, or physically looking at it. \n looking back, we saved everyone maybe an hour or two of wasted time, but risked our lives. That was stupid.","Summary: idiots, they wanted to crush a car with a tank and put everyone's lives in danger\n\nPost: Fuck. The commander needs to be relieved. EOD can place C-4 under the car using a robot, we've done it lots of times. SOP was never to approach a suspicious or possible threat until it was cleared, unless the mission absolutely required it, and given the video that's at least a passive enough environment where they are sitting around filming it. The EOD vehicle is inside the kill radius of commonly used 155mm shell-based IEDS, and the tank underbelly is a relatively \"soft\" target, so the entire crew (especially the driver) was put in danger. I'm sure the EOD vehicle was running active ECMs, but that wouldn't defeat a pressure activated trigger. In addition, because the car lacks wheels, the stress on the suspension visualized by wheel well clearance isn't visable.","Summary: very useful.\n\nPost: The benefit is versatility. I'd call on a few historic examples, like Libya in 2011, where the HMS Ocean was able to dispatch Apaches for CAS, and the USS Kearsarge was able to conduct a SAR mission to retrieve a downed pilot. In recent disaster relief operations, like the response to Super Typhoon Haiyan, the US 31st MEU deployed with an LHA and utilized it to ferry supplies and casualties as well as first responders. \n In ASW warfare a helicopter carrier can cover a broad area of water with ASW helicopters while keeping others ready to launch on deck to surge to any threat. \n Helicopter carriers can also be used to spring-board forces for a ship-to-objective attack, support a landing, provide over the horizon logistics, and function as a logistics hub from sea for a multitude of various missions.","Summary: I get satisfaction and enjoyment from not cheating at all on one save, while I still have fun using an editor on a save where I'm building massive above ground stuff.\n\nPost: Bottom line? \n I have one save that I have NEVER cheated/ edited. I play here 50% of the time. \n BUT, I have two more saves, one in which I am recreating the University of Texas campus, and one where I am building a fortress, both of which are simply too large-scale for me to build without using editors, considering that I am taking 15 hours of classes, work full time and have a dog/ house etc etc to take care of.","Summary: In role play scenarios, often times the rules or gaming that must exist to make the exercise safe for participants unbalances the exercise in favor of the opfor by eliminating many available options by the aggressor or training force.\n\nPost: I used to do this training as well in the Corps with my Security Forces Marines. There's definitely different scenarios, but here's some anecdotal points: \n It's because that at some point storming a building in a recapture scenario comes down to people entering the building and killing the enemy. You can do fancy things like top down, fast rope, demolition to make entry points, frags, flashbangs, etc etc but still someone eventually has to enter the building (if you aren't cleared to level it) and at that point the various tactics are always defeat-able, at least initially, by a trained and determined opponent, given time and equipment. It's the nature of the beast. It is exacerbated in training by restrictions we don't always have in combat... I can't C-4 an entry way through a wall when I've got role players inside the building... I can't lob grenades from a distance with an M203 or M302 or Mk19 when again, there are live people in the building, so there is a lot of \"gaming the game\" that in my experience often favors the OPFOR. \n In open infantry combat scenarios, this form of gaming still occurs. I can \"simulate\" mortar casualties on a fixed location, before I attack it, but nothing truly simulates the destruction of a 1 minute 81mm mortar barrage followed by heavy machine gun and rocket attacks on role players or OPFOR while you attack, like you would experience in real combat.","Summary: Buy the one that makes you grin when you drive it.\n\nPost: agreed. Which one would you get into on a crappy day and would still put a smile on your face? Trivial issues like possibly higher maintenance, or a car that goes through tires a bit quicker than others, or run on premium gas etc... if you make enough money to buy either vehicle and not go broke, those issues really aren't a big deal. My car only takes premium gas, but it also gets 13-15 MPG more than my old truck, so it makes up for the cost!!","Summary: I don't care what your style is, unsafe mods are fucking retarded.\n\nPost: Honestly, I know everyone has different styles and appearances and performance etc that they really like, and not everyone is the same in that regard. I'm glad for that, and hey if you like something I don't, then that's cool, honestly, I'm happy we aren't all the same... it would be a boring world. \n Things that do annoy me: mods that affect my safety on the road. Stretching tires to fit wide rims beyond the inherit safety ratings of the tire, spray painting your taillights \"tinting\" them so I can't see your brake lights in the rain at night, upping the camber on your tires so that you are riding only on the inner 1/2 of your tire... all that shit is unsafe stupidity that endangers everyone.","Summary: I gave out about 200 pages of porn to an Iraqi town.\n\nPost: I actually accidentally spread about ~200 pages of porn magazine to a small Iraqi town while burning shit in half a 55 gal can. \n My guys were on post, and while burning poop is traditionally a boot task, I liked to hook them up (I had a great squad) so me and another squad leader were gonna burn the 6 shit cans in our homemade plywood shit house, and clean it up. Well we were over by the FOB wall (hesco wall) and we lined up two rows of three cans and doused them with way too much fuel, and lit them up. Anyone that's done this knows you let the liquid burn off a bit first, then stir while burning with an engineer stake until the liquid all burns off and you're left with a pile of shit ashes. Well while the initial how burn is going, we cleaned out the head and pulled out a couple just messed up porn mags. (we had recently gotten a good shipment of new ones in courtesy of a good friend, so these well used mags could be tossed). \n We both ambled over to the cans, magazines in hand and cleanup of the heads complete. The cans are still burning, like nearly white hot, helped by the strong winds blowing toward us and over the hesco wall. Well, we decided just to burn the magazines (a fitting end for them considering how much jizz was probably in them) and my fellow squad leader tosses one in (we had to stand pretty far back due to the heat) and I tosses the second. Only, I missed the cans (insert white joke about basketball). It lands right next to the burning shit drums. I tried to approach close to grab it with the engineer stake, but the damn drums were hot as hell. Just then, the glue holding the magazine together reaches its melting point and the wind grabs all the pages and whoosh, up in the air (heat drafts) and carried by the wind right over the hesco barrier wall... and right into the town of ~1000 just outside the wall.

Yeah, but likely not practical using the exact same setup as a P90, for the following reasons. \\n 1) 40mm round length. They are long, so the magazine would be really wide, like 3 inches wide, at least. Then the even wider feed mechanism to grab the round, rotate it 90 degrees, move it down into the chamber and load it... the weapon would be something like 4 inches+ wide at the top, and top heavy to boot. \\n 2) the purpose of the M32 6 shot revolving grenade launcher is not only rapid follow up of the initial round (unlike the m203), and increased firepower for the squad, but it's also the fact that the m32 can use non lethal and non-impact rounds. My squad in Iraq, we'd carry the m32 on night missions, loaded with White star parachutes. (Those are 5.272 inches long and would never work with a p90-based feed system design) the advantage of this round is that we used NVGs during the night, but if we received fire from an unknown source, we could light up the better part of a grid square in about 5 seconds, and keep it illuminated for almost two minutes while we engaged the located, engaged and suppressed the enemy. Wait till the light burned out, then maneuver on him in darkness with our NVGs. \\n 3-4) (this is a double-reason). The training-practice rounds used my the m203 and m32 for years are blue plastic tipped, orange chalk filled rounds that ballisticly match the trajectory of the HEDP round. The problem is two-fold, we also use these rounds in combat to mark targets for tanks/AAAvs, mk19s etc as well as for EOF as one way to get a vehicle to stop if other means fail, without having to resort to killing someone. Well, the plastic tips are fragile, and likely wouldn't take well to the stress of being crammed into a magazine, and the moved through a 90 degree rotational feed mechanism. They'd break in the weapon, making it useless. They even break in our current systems, too. But in a M203, you just open the breach and dump it out... with a M32 you just rotate the cylinder to the next round and keep firing. \\n 4) Signalling- The M203 and M32 are used for signals with the Star cluster rounds, again these are over 5 inches long, wouldn't work being loaded sideways, the just would be over half a foot wide. \\n 5)- weight. The M32 is HEAVY. 13.2 lbs Empty, 19.2 lbs loaded. And that's only 6 rounds. You need at least a certain # rounds when you go into a fight, so you've got at least a few reloads of the thing, otherwise you might as well just bring an M16/203 combo and have a rifle too. so you've got a 19 lb launcher and another ton of ammo, in addition to your ass load of body Armour, water and food, radio and extra batteries, frag grenades, your M9, ammo, your NVGs, extra batteries for that, then an assortment of other things like LZ marking kits, IFAK medical bag, Tourniquet, note taking gear, a snack, random extra batteries, pen flare for EOF, etc etc etc.... I'd rather not add very-bulky/heavy 5-7 shot 40mm magazines to this loadout, ya know? \\n In the end, I think the negatives just outweigh the positives here. You'd gain increased reload speed, maybe one more shot-per-reload if you made it a 6 shot magazine with one in the chamber. You'd lose the ability to fir non-lethal rounds, you'd lose the ability to provide night illumination, you'd lose the ability to use it as a signalling weapon, or use Star clusters for EOF and you'd likely not be able to use the current practice round for training for marking/EOF in combat. And you'd have a more complex, therefor more likely to break weapon, that would have more moving parts and be less user-serviceable by the end user... the guy who relies on this weapon for his life.\",\n \"Summary: I hate that shit.\\n\\nPost: I went and partied in D.C. a while back and a friend got the hotel room for us.

She immediately grabbed my shoulder and said, \\\"I'm so sorry Obama is ruining the military.\\\" I was a few drinks in, but asked her, \\\"How is he ruining the military?\\\" She stumbled with her words and recited a few Fox talking points. Bottom line: She had no clue. I actually took a few minutes to explain that the military wasn't being \\\"ruined\\\", that we are in the middle of the biggest recession in recent history, had been fighting two wars for nearly or more than 10 years, and we had to trim some fat, obviously.

If you'll notice, the gun in the photo looks manually aimed. I'd say in comparison to a Phalanx CIWS, (which itself is based around the GE M61 series of gatling guns) the biggest leap is the fact that it is radar tracked and fired. (newer blocks can be manually aimed with new optics for engaging small boat threats).\",\n \"Summary: Driving in Asia is an exercise in anger management and crash avoidance.\\n\\nPost: As a guy who used to live in Germany, that now lives in Japan and travels around Asia a lot... I miss German Drivers so much. Today, driving for MAYBE 7 minutes, I had the following things occur: A guy just stopped driving and turned his hazard lights on. No explanation. He shut down half the road. In a parking lot, had a car sideways blocking the entire lane. A whole family was standing around it and they looked to be giving directions to someone. People were honking, I ended up just parking since I essentially blocked in. I witnessed a lady that had full length arm \\\"gloves\\\" on, and side curtains in her car (yeah, totally blocking her view) just change two lanes without looking. I had to stand on my brakes. (fortunately I just got new pads installed two weeks ago).

If you look at the highway MPG of a hybrid, it's typically about the same as a similar non-hybrid car. This is because at highway speeds and distance, the engine is on almost the entire time anyway, both to overcome drag at high speed, and because at highway distances you'd burn through your hybrid's battery power in no time at all. Additionally, the hybrid now has to overcome the additional weight of the batteries (not insignificant) and the electric motors/ regen braking gear etc. \\n The reason they work so much better in the city is simple. You often run on just the electric motor/battery power, and due to regenerative braking, everytime you brake it's helping to recharge the battery. In a normal car, when you brake int he city, it kills your MPG because you have to burn gas to get back up to speed. Well, in the hybrid, it's giving you additional electric range.\",\n \"Summary: We have thousands of programs we spend money on, sure, some of them might be wasteful, but a lot are taken out of context, and when you see that, you see that many are necessary.\\n\\nPost: Some of this is taken well out of context. (ex.) Overseas, we watch AFN TV and they have to make their own commercials since there's some legal stipulation to prevent them from showing the one's in the states. So, our combat camera guys and gals make video shorts like the \\\"grill it safe\\\" video. What's not said is that we have now 6+ channels of US Television in a foreign country and the only minor downside is that we have to provide some filler for the usual commercial time. So , they give us a bunch of ORM or \\\"have a good holiday\\\" or, \\\"here's how to use this website\\\" type videos, some of which are actually quite useful. \\n Another of This guy's pet peeves is the Pentagon developing a new, better tasting beef jerky.

I think you'll be pleased. \\n If I may make one recommendation to make this vehicle an awesome highway cruiser: Honda has royally skimped on sound deadening recently. My 2008 Civic is loud inside. My friend's CR-V is loud inside too. Take it to an audio shop, pay $200ish and get the doors dynamatted. It makes an enormous difference. I had the majority of the cab in my old 2006 crew cab Tacoma done this way, and it made such a huge difference in road noise.

I considered one myself for a while. I think it sounds like a great deal, and I've done a bit of research, within 150 miles of me, that price is between $5,000-$8,000 cheaper than the 11 available vehicles. As far as reliability goes, that engine is a proven design, and the Ridgeline itself has had very few problems overall. The fuel economy isn't bad at all when compared to comparable rivals like the Frontier and Tacoma. The locking waterproof under-bed trunk is awesome, too by the way. I'm not a huge fan of the interior design, it looks quite dated, but it is highly functional. Most controls you'll find you can use with gloves on, which is nice.\",\n \"Summary: Wear the uniform of the day to get your ID card photo made. Civvies are acceptable, but the professional answer is wear cammies, at least. And no one really cares that much.\\n\\nPost: Always read the reference and don't listen to the other guys that are too lazy to look up the answer themselves. If you google it, you'll find that DoD Instruction 1000.13 is the defining order regulating the issuance of the DoD ID card. \\n \\\"6.3.4.6.8. Photographs. All DD Forms 1173-1 shall have a passport type, and full-faced photograph of the bearer affixed to the obverse side and shall be laminated, using the heat-pressure method, before issuance.\\\" \\n No mention of uniform. \\n I've had an ID card made in civilian attire, Service Charlies and a couple in cammies. All are acceptable as per the DoDI. \\n Now, as far as professionalism goes, I'd hazard to guess that greater than 75% of Officers are wearing their cammies in their ID card photo. That said, no one is ever likely to give you shit for your ID card photo, and when you get to TBS you'll be reporting in to your fellow LT's in the green carpet area.\",\n \"Summary: Be positive, smile and always be ready to say something nice. People like being around people that don't suck.\\n\\nPost: Used to have this. I was socially awkward, shy and would rather read a book than go out. One day my friend Matt came to my room and said, \\\"dude, you're going out tonight. And every weekend until I say differently. Come to my room.\\\" In his room he had laid out a set of nice \\\"going out\\\" clothes for me to wear. The first night the goal was to just go to a bar, talk and have a beer. Over the course of a few months we built up to talking to a someone at a bar, how to flirt with girls, what types of drinks are good, what different beers are like, etc etc. \\n He did more to break me of my social awkwardness than anyone could have ever done. No one ever asked him to do it either... I don't think I ever really thanked him for it either. Just 6 months or so later, I was \\\"one of the guys\\\" and went out a lot. \\n Now I've fully embraced the fact that I'm a geek, and I love to read, I built my desktop computer a few months ago, play minecraft... but I love to go out and have drinks and party too. In college I did more, now I do a bit less. But the fun part is that I can do both, and I enjoy both, and I'm not holding myself back. \\n End of the day, the most important thing he taught me was that people know when you aren't being you. If you're trying to fake being comfortable, it'll show through. When we went to a bar I sucked up my pride and I'd say, \\\"I've never had that brown bottle with the red top. What is that?\\\" And ask the bartender, and get them to explain Maker's Mark, how to drink it, what to mix it with if you like them mixxed, etc. \\n People that say crap like \\\"don't be shy\\\" are fooling themselves. Of course you're going to be shy! Embrace it a bit, admit when you haven't done something and laugh about it. After a bit I found out that attitude helped me a lot.\",\n \"Summary: You get trained to the point that yes, your last few land-nav events are literally you're released into the woods alone and you have to find these damn boxes and then make your way back.\\n\\nPost: Well there's a few different types of Land navigation tests we do. The best \\\"progressively difficult\\\" courses I saw were at our Officer Basic School. It basically ammounted to several hours of classes, then classroom practical application of finding grids and map reading. Then we took a terrain walk and were shown how the terrain compares to the map, and especially when you use different map sizes (1:25000 vs 1:50000, etc). Then we do a detailed pace count on flat and a pace count over terrain. This is followed by a daylight land nav course in a relatively small area, with \\\"Self correcting\\\" land nav boxes. (i.e. the boxes have the grid on them, so if you find the box at the grid you were looking for, you can double check it. Then we do a couple more land nav courses that get gradually larger in area, longer in the number of boxes you have to hit, and harder in that there's just a number or letter on the box, so you don't know for sure if that's the box you were looking for. This culminates in a full-day, individual effort daytime land navigation course covering like ~24SqKM where you had to find maby 8 or ten boxes, and you end up walking like 16+KM (some more, some less defending on the route you choose and the luck of the draw IRT boxes you have to find) As far as night land nav, I believe we did three or four land nav tracks that again got progressively more difficult and longer legs. All this is spread over the course of 6 months of training covering everything else as a basic platoon commander without specialized infantry training. \\n As an enlisted infantryman, I received much faster-paced, less in-depth and less-difficult land navigation training. This is largely due to the fact that they have to push so many enlisted guys through that training, and it's barely over a month as it is. The officers in TBS, there are less of them and they have 6 months to train you. If you're an officer that then goes infantry (0302) as an MOS, then you go onto another 3 months of field training, and do even more land navigation training within that package. \\n Hope this helps explain it a bit better.\",\n \"Summary: Risked life to save a couple hours of time.\\n\\nPost: In Iraq in 2006, I was a squad leader, and we had been on patrol all day, in and out of our vehicles, and it was upwards of 130 degrees outside at the hottest part of the day. Well, we're trying to make it back to the FOB (our home-made base) and we're on this road and we keep having to stop and do IED sweeps of the road at bridges, or when there's anything suspicious near the road. \\n Well, after several hours of this shit, it's just getting dark, and we're still like 6 KM from our FOB. The convoy stops again. There's some suspicious stuff near the road, I hear this on my PRR radio. The convoy commander asks for us to dismount and see what it is. \\n Keep in mind, we have this mini-robot that's made to search stuff out, it's in this big Pelican plastic case, and you break it out, turn it on, and remote control it to whatever is suspicious and check it out via camera and wireless video feed. Anyways the whole process takes a while. I was pissed. We were out of water, hungry, hot and fucking exhausted. this is not to mention that getting out of the 7 ton truck was a cluster fuck to start with since ours had a broken ladder. \\n I told my squad to stay put. I jumped out, and started walking to the \\\"suspicious\\\" object. Keep in mind this was pretty much the peak of the \\\"IEDs\\\", and we had been hit multiple times, in fact there was a pretty good guy we hadn't been able to catch that had actually gotten my 7 ton on my first vehicle patrol. (triple stack 155mm on a pressure plate). \\n Anyways, the suspicious item is this large 4-5 gallon aluminum or tin square can, right next to the road, with some rocks around it. I'll give our driver credit, it did totally look shady. the sun had just set, the mosque had failed to sound the evening call to prayer or whatnot (this was 5 years ago, my memory is slightly fuzzy) anyways, the situation was a bit hairy, and we were less than 1km from an outpost that had been hid by a VBIED a day or two before. I looked back, saw my guys sweating it out in the truck, said fuck it, I walked straight to the can, kicked it over, knocked the rocks away, swept the ground and didn't see anything. Then I walked by out in front of the convoy the next half mile or so through this shady section of town. (a couple of fellow Marines, all Cpl and above like myself joined me) we let the guys sit it out, and the two-three of us just walked/ jogged ahead of everyone through the worst area, checking anything suspicious by kicking it, or physically looking at it. \\n looking back, we saved everyone maybe an hour or two of wasted time, but risked our lives. That was stupid.\",\n \"Summary: idiots, they wanted to crush a car with a tank and put everyone's lives in danger\\n\\nPost: Fuck. The commander needs to be relieved. EOD can place C-4 under the car using a robot, we've done it lots of times. SOP was never to approach a suspicious or possible threat until it was cleared, unless the mission absolutely required it, and given the video that's at least a passive enough environment where they are sitting around filming it. The EOD vehicle is inside the kill radius of commonly used 155mm shell-based IEDS, and the tank underbelly is a relatively \\\"soft\\\" target, so the entire crew (especially the driver) was put in danger. I'm sure the EOD vehicle was running active ECMs, but that wouldn't defeat a pressure activated trigger. In addition, because the car lacks wheels, the stress on the suspension visualized by wheel well clearance isn't visable.\",\n \"Summary: very useful.\\n\\nPost: The benefit is versatility. I'd call on a few historic examples, like Libya in 2011, where the HMS Ocean was able to dispatch Apaches for CAS, and the USS Kearsarge was able to conduct a SAR mission to retrieve a downed pilot. In recent disaster relief operations, like the response to Super Typhoon Haiyan, the US 31st MEU deployed with an LHA and utilized it to ferry supplies and casualties as well as first responders. \\n In ASW warfare a helicopter carrier can cover a broad area of water with ASW helicopters while keeping others ready to launch on deck to surge to any threat. \\n Helicopter carriers can also be used to spring-board forces for a ship-to-objective attack, support a landing, provide over the horizon logistics, and function as a logistics hub from sea for a multitude of various missions.\",\n \"Summary: I get satisfaction and enjoyment from not cheating at all on one save, while I still have fun using an editor on a save where I'm building massive above ground stuff.\\n\\nPost: Bottom line? \\n I have one save that I have NEVER cheated/ edited.

There's definitely different scenarios, but here's some anecdotal points: \\n It's because that at some point storming a building in a recapture scenario comes down to people entering the building and killing the enemy. You can do fancy things like top down, fast rope, demolition to make entry points, frags, flashbangs, etc etc but still someone eventually has to enter the building (if you aren't cleared to level it) and at that point the various tactics are always defeat-able, at least initially, by a trained and determined opponent, given time and equipment. It's the nature of the beast. It is exacerbated in training by restrictions we don't always have in combat... I can't C-4 an entry way through a wall when I've got role players inside the building... I can't lob grenades from a distance with an M203 or M302 or Mk19 when again, there are live people in the building, so there is a lot of \\\"gaming the game\\\" that in my experience often favors the OPFOR. \\n In open infantry combat scenarios, this form of gaming still occurs. I can \\\"simulate\\\" mortar casualties on a fixed location, before I attack it, but nothing truly simulates the destruction of a 1 minute 81mm mortar barrage followed by heavy machine gun and rocket attacks on role players or OPFOR while you attack, like you would experience in real combat.\",\n \"Summary: Buy the one that makes you grin when you drive it.\\n\\nPost: agreed.

Well we were over by the FOB wall (hesco wall) and we lined up two rows of three cans and doused them with way too much fuel, and lit them up. Anyone that's done this knows you let the liquid burn off a bit first, then stir while burning with an engineer stake until the liquid all burns off and you're left with a pile of shit ashes. Well while the initial how burn is going, we cleaned out the head and pulled out a couple just messed up porn mags. (we had recently gotten a good shipment of new ones in courtesy of a good friend, so these well used mags could be tossed). \\n We both ambled over to the cans, magazines in hand and cleanup of the heads complete. The cans are still burning, like nearly white hot, helped by the strong winds blowing toward us and over the hesco wall. Well, we decided just to burn the magazines (a fitting end for them considering how much jizz was probably in them) and my fellow squad leader tosses one in (we had to stand pretty far back due to the heat) and I tosses the second. Only, I missed the cans (insert white joke about basketball). It lands right next to the burning shit drums. I tried to approach close to grab it with the engineer stake, but the damn drums were hot as hell. Just then, the glue holding the magazine together reaches its melting point and the wind grabs all the pages and whoosh, up in the air (heat drafts) and carried by the wind right over the hesco barrier wall... and right into the town of ~1000 just outside the wall.

We talked and hit it off pretty well during the date, ended up leaving the restaurant at eight. I drove her back and we decided to hang out for an hour before she left to go to the bars with some of her friends, and we made out a bit and cuddled and stuff. I left feeling pretty good about the whole date. \n Later last night though, at like one in the morning she texted me asking how my night had gone and we ended up hanging out again (we were both a bit drunk but not too gone) and I went over for another hour or two which was awesome. \n Only thing that I'm not sure about - I asked her after dinner if she wanted to go minigolf sometime in the next week (corny, I know) and she said maybe because she doesn't really like minigolf. I'm pretty sure she was just saying maybe to minigolf, NOT to another date, but we moved on to something else so I'm not sure.","Summary: the internet is here now and only time will tell what happens next.\n\nPost: I'm certainly not in-the-know enough to make any serious predictions, but with the development of internet music culture over the past few years (Soundcloud, Bandcamp, etc.) I think that music is becoming a much more liquid art form. With the ease of creating and sharing tracks and musical ideas, mixtapes and only-digital releases have become a lot more popular. \n However I think that can be attributed to the over saturation of music we're seeing. Because you can download a high quality DAW for free in a matter of hours and become somewhat adept at it through basic Youtube tutorials etc within the course of a week, everyone and their mother is trying their hand at making music. I don't know for sure whether the sheer abundance of music being produced lately is going to bode well or not for the album format / music industry in general, but I do think that internet-based music cultures are changing the way people consume music.","Summary: I like a senior and am a sophomore, she seems into me but may just be really nice, how can I tell and what do I do?\n\nPost: I'm a sophomore guy in college, interested in a senior. She's exactly my ideal kind of girl and she seems like she's interested in me. \n We have one class together, and in the past few weeks we've started sitting next to each other and hang out during class. The problem is though that I can't tell if she's interested in me or just awesome/a really nice person. A few examples--the class we have is an intro to acting class, and for a warm up exercise we have to pretend this tennis ball is some other object and give it to someone else. Most people just said things like \"here's a cheeseburger\" or something else generic, but it came to her turn to give something to me and she got on one knee and fake proposed to me. In response, yesterday my fraternity had like a skit-type thing and at one point we have to get someone from the audience and dance with them, and I pulled her up and danced and she seemed like she was having a good time. \n I don't have her number yet but I friended her on facebook a few days ago and immediately she posted on my wall and started to like posts that I was part of. I guess the reason I'm skeptical is because of the age gap. If she was my age I would definitely go for it; the two year difference makes me kind of think that maybe she's just thinking I'm just some random sophomore and wouldn't even consider dating me. I can't tell the difference between 'into me' and her being nice. \n I think I want to ask her out just for peace of mind, but my question is how would I do that? I was thinking just asking her after class this week if she wants to go get dinner sometime. Any help in general would be greatly appreciated!","Summary: I've been seeing a girl for a few weeks, we hang out/text/cuddle/make out pretty often, she doesn't know what she wants, how can I help her make up her mind?\n\nPost: I [20M] met a girl[21F] a month or so ago. We went on a date, kissed, and have been hanging out watching a TV show every few days since the date two and a half weeks ago. We cuddle and make out pretty intensely, and we text pretty much daily. While this may sound awesome, last week we started talking about the direction of our 'relationship' and things are pretty confusing. \n Before I get into that, a few relevant pieces of information. She's two years ahead of me and is going to graduate at the end of the year. I'm also transferring at the end of the year (unrelated to her) but I think she's awesome and want to date even though we'll likely have to stop seeing each other in six/seven months. Also, after our first date we set up plans for another, which got put on hold by our conversation. Back to that though. \n Basically, she asked where I saw us hanging out going, and I told her I want to date. She says that she's not completely against it, she just doesn't know what she wants. She's worried about the whole graduation thing (which she's agreed is her over thinking things, neither of us know if we'd even still be seeing each other in seven months) and hasn't really dated in a few years. She kept on saying that she wouldn't even make a very good girlfriend, and also mentioned that she has commitment issues. I'm pretty sure by commitment issues she just means she's indecisive though; she really doesn't seem the type to cheat on a guy. \n The gist of what she said though is that she doesn't know what she wants. What she does know though is that she wants to keep hanging out, and seems to think we'll be hanging out for at least another month or two. At this point I really am not sure if I'm a booty call (we just make out, there's been nothing past a bit of rubbing and stuff) or just an option she's keeping open for now. She's said things like she'd miss hanging out with me, and has asked if the only reason I hang out with her is because we make out (which it isn't) and has said other slightly relationship-ey things that give me some hope. \n All in all, I'm just confused about what to do now. I feel like if I patiently wait for her to make up her mind she never will and we'll keep on hanging out and be in this casual limbo kind of state, but I don't want to keep asking her about it and have her just get annoyed and decide we shouldn't be hanging out anymore. What do I do to help her make up her mind?","Summary: Choline and piracetam powders were in my car for two months, I'm sure they've been in pretty extreme temperatures (maybe 20F - 90F?), are they still effective and safe?\n\nPost: About six months ago, I purchased a tub of piracetam and a tub of choline in powder form. I tried it for a week or two and was fairly consistent in my doses but never really noticed anything too different and kind of just stopped using it. However, I'd like to give it another try. \n The thing is, they've just been sitting in my car for a month or two now. The temperature in that time has varied from really hot outside to freezing. Is the powder still effective / safe to use?","Summary: I'm planning on asking a girl out Wednesday, how do I ask her in a way that makes it clear that it's a date and what would be the best way to phrase it?\n\nPost: I'm planning on asking a girl I'm interested in out after a class on Wednesday. I'm a (20M) and she's a (21F), and I'm wondering what the best way to go about this would be. I had relationships all throughout high school but nothing so far yet in college, so I'm not sure if I should go about it differently than I did in high school. \n I'm hopeful about it but not that confident that she'll say yes, mostly because she's two grades ahead of me (I asked about the age gap on here a day or two ago). The way I plan on asking is just pulling her aside after class and saying, 'Hey, I know this is kind of coming out of nowhere, but would you want to get dinner or something sometime this week?' \n I realize that sounds pretty beta/not that confident, but it is a bit true that it's coming out of nowhere; I don't think she expects me to ask her out at all. That's not to say we don't have chemistry--the reason I haven't dated at all in college as of yet is just because I haven't really found anyone I've liked that much (except this girl). \n I guess my question is, should I act as confident as possible and tell her that we should go out, like \"we should go out to dinner this week\" or should I ask her if she wants to? I want it to be as clear as possible that this would be a date, and not like a friendly thing.","Summary: 20M interested in a 21F, only talked for a week or two, she suggested we hang out and watch this show together, is she interested or does she just think i'm another friend?\n\nPost: I [20M] started getting to know a girl [21F] about a month and a half ago in a class we have together, and the past few weeks we've really been hitting it off pretty well (or so I think...). I don't see her much outside of class, she's a senior and I'm a sophomore, but once or twice I've seen her and there seems to be just as much chemistry outside of class as there is in it.\nI got her number a week or so ago and we've texted off and on since. I've started watching a TV show she recommended (Dr. Who, if you must know) and we were texting about it and she said that if I'm doubting how good the show is we can watch it together for support.\nNow this kind of came out of the blue. We've only been really talking/hitting it off for a few weeks, and only this past week have we really talked much outside of class. The question is, is this a friend-zoning move or is it her wanting to get to know me? I feel like we have definite chemistry but I'm not sure if she's just really nice or is actually into me.","Summary: haven't fapped for 10 days, came close tonight, have three questions cause I'm a newbie\n\nPost: Alright, first post on r/nofap, here goes. First, thanks for saving me tonight, I (20M) was as close as it gets to fapping and I came here instead. \n About a month and a half ago I started seeing a girl, and decided, why not give up fapping for a little while, couldn't hurt, right? I made it ten or eleven days, then gave in. I wasn't too mad at myself or anything, it was more of a test of willpower than anything else - I'd never heard of nofap and didn't know the negative consequences involved. \n Fast forward to about two weeks ago. Girl I'm seeing (who I really do like) and I are getting kinda hot and heavy, and she grabs my junk for the first time ever. I was semi-hard, and she tried giving a handy (albeit a really bad one) and within sixty seconds my half hardon was completely gone. This freaked me out. \n I'd heard of nofap by this point, and decided maybe it was something I needed to check out. I haven't fapped since two Fridays ago I believe, but I have a few questions. \n First - should I be avoiding all orgasm inducing activities or just self induced porno death grip fap sessions? Should I stop my girl if she tries to give me a handy again?\nSecond - what is the ruling on wet dreams / precum? I've had one wet dream since I started and precum-ed a few times with really intense makeout sessions with the girl.\nLast - I heard somewhere on nofap that after a week you get a boost in libido, but after that you flatline for a bit... Is that true, and if so when does the libido come back?","Summary: Girlfriend is virgin waiting on marriage, is grossed out by blowjobs, I go down on her like twice a week, how do I bring up me wanting BJs / convince her not to be grossed out by them?\n\nPost: I [20M] started dating her [21F] about a month and a half ago. She told me before we started dating that she was a virgin, and I am fine with that. I'm not overly sexually experienced, the last time I had sex was about two years ago with a past girlfriend. While I'm fine that I probably won't be having sex with this girl (at least for a very long time), I love getting head and was hoping that would be happening. \n Either right before we were officially dating or right in the beginning, we were hanging out one night (and were both a bit tipsy). Things were getting pretty hot and heavy, and she asked me what I wanted her to do. She'd been using her hands and I thought this was a good time to pop the BJ question - I asked her if she wanted to use her mouth. She immediately got pretty awkward and said no, she thinks that's pretty gross. I took this the wrong way and assumed she just didn't want to do it right now, but probably would later. \n Fast forward to now - I haven't brought blowjobs up since, but she asks me to give HER oral about twice a week. I don't really want to pull the 'I give you head so you owe me' card but I don't really know how else to bring it up. She gives me handjobs like pretty often, four or five times a week, but in all honesty most guys can probably agree that handjobs are pretty lame. Knowing that I won't be having sex with her, I'd really appreciate if I was at least getting head, and hopefully without her getting really grossed out and awkward when / if she does it. How do I bring up me wanting blowjobs in a not douchey way? Also, how have you helped girls get out of the 'blowjobs are gross' mindset?","Summary: Unhappy for years, thought it was natural; parents divorced and I started getting panic attacks; trapped in my college; trapped in my fraternity; trapped in my major; scared to talk to girlfriend about this stuff. I don't really have people to talk to about this stuff, have any of you been in similar situations? Is it normal to just be unhappy most of the time or should I seek some sort of help?\n\nPost: This is my second draft; the first one was a wall of text to be reckoned with. Hope this is more manageable, I broke it down to the essential parts. It is admittedly still pretty long though. \n I [20M] have been consistently unhappy for about four years now. I've had periods of happiness, but I always feel like my 'natural state' is really discontented and disillusioned. I thought that everyone was like this, but I'm starting to have my doubts. \n Parents divorced two years ago, in the summer before I came to college - they didn't handle it well and my siblings and I were pretty involved / used by them almost. I started getting panic attacks / emotional breaks once or twice a month around this time. I've been seeing a therapist about them for a few months now, but she doesn't really know that I'm unhappy, she just thinks I have some social anxiety. \n I came to college (my fourth choice) and while I was initially excited to leave the emotional roller coaster of being at home, I quickly realized I had made the wrong choice of school. People here are boring, in all honesty - conversations boil down to one of three things - getting hammered, sports, and hooking up with girls. I like partying, don't mind sports, and like girls, but honestly that is ALL PEOPLE TALK ABOUT. It's a small school, and really homogenous. Everyone feels like the same person, they just look different. I wanted to transfer but joined a fraternity, hoping it would help. It hasn't, and it seems too late to transfer to another school. \n The fraternity is awful and where a lot of my negative emotions come from. I didn't know enough about this particular house before joining it. Every single brother is an EXTREME alpha-male. I am not exaggerating when I say there are intensely violent fights at least once a week between brothers, often when they're drunk and always about something RIDICULOUS. This fraternity is the epitome of what I don't like about the college, but if I left it I would be cut off socially. I have maybe four friends that would hang out with me (even talk to me) if I deactivated. I feel very trapped and claustrophobic. \n I also switched my major at the end of last year, hoping that would help. While I'm happier in this particular major than my last one, I still feel like I made the wrong choice. After taking classes for this major I've realized it should be more of a hobby, but at this point I can't switch to something else. It's second semester sophomore year, and in order to switch to what I want to (something in the sciences) I'd have to essentially start my college career over, and I don't have the money to do that. Another thing I feel like I'm trapped in. \n To top it all off, I have a girlfriend of three months who will be graduating and leaving to go to grad school (effectively ending our relationship) at the end of this semester. She isn't particularly empathetic and I feel like I can't talk to her about this stuff without sounding pathetic.","Summary: Is it better to learn how to draw specific styles through tutorials and such, or draw often on your own and develop your own style?\n\nPost: I have always loved drawing and have a keen eye for design / what looks good. I am a sophomore in college and am quite good at drawing a very specific style of cartoons, but I'd really like to expand my abilities. \n In your experiences, is it better to use online tutorials (and/or books) to teach yourself specific methods and styles of drawing, or better to draw often on your own and develop your own 'style'?","Summary: Seeing a girl for a month now, second date is tomorrow, had a talk about direction a week or two ago that she left completely unresolved, fair to bring it up again?\n\nPost: Me [20M] and a girl [21F] have been hanging out frequently (every two or three days about) for 3-4 weeks now. We've been on one date, two weeks ago, and have another one tomorrow. However, things aren't going as well as I'd hoped. \n Pretty much we had a talk two weeks ago about the direction of our 'relationship', and I told her I wanted to date her and she said she doesn't know what she wants. Her reasons for indecision are all fair enough (she's graduating this year and doesn't know where she'll be next year) but it's getting very frustrating. Our talk (which she initiated) ended completely unresolved. \n Since then we haven't really talked about it at all, but she did agree to go on another date (tomorrow). I don't want to annoy her, but I feel like I deserve some sort of idea of what she wants. Is it fair to bring it up at some point tomorrow? In all honesty, even if she tells me she doesn't want to date, it'll be better than just wondering all the time. Thoughts?","Summary: What do you look for when auditioning bandmates other than talent with an instrument?\n\nPost: I'm hoping this is the right subreddit for this kind of question; it was the closest match I could find! \n Basically, I'll be auditioning for a local alt rock band on my college campus soon as a vocalist. I'm not sure why they are in need of a vocalist as I know they've already been around a while, but I want to make a good impression because their style of music is exactly the type of music I enjoy / write. \n What I'm looking for is from those of you that have auditioned people for bands you've been in. What do you look for in a bandmate? Aside from obviously talent someone has at an instrument / vocals, which I'm not too worried about (I have a pretty good voice, if I do say so myself).","Summary: My girlfriend used to be affectionate, but she isn't anymore; if I bring it up she gets absurdly angry and frustrated. How do I talk to her about how this is an issue for me?\n\nPost: Condensed version - I [20M] have been official with girlfriend [21F] for three months, but we dated for several months before that. And when I say dated, I mean spent pretty much every day with. However ever since we became official, things have changed. \n Before we became an official couple, she was sentimental and 'couple-y'. We'd say cheesy dumb things to each other, and were very affectionate, which I love. However, when we became official, within a matter of a week or two this all evaporated. I'll try to say something VAGUELY sentimental, about how good she looks today or about how I care about her and she'll immediately respond with a condescending snort and a 'Ok, whatever 1115.' \n I believe that communication is a huge factor in relationships, so I've tried to bring this up - twice. Both times, she's become immediately angry with me and accused me of trying to change her... I don't want to change her, I just want to know what changed to make her so distant. I'm experienced in relationships, I know a honeymoon period is common, but this is very different. She refuses to acknowledge my question and I'm unsure of what to do - both times I've brought it up she's become angry and a big fight has resulted, ending in us not talking for several days. \n There has been no trauma or significant change in her life in the past few months. I just want at least to know what made this change happen. Of course, it'd also be nice if she was affectionate again...","Summary: Haven't had sexual contact in a few years, last time it didn't end too well, started getting a handjob (a pretty bad one) last night and my junk lost hardness, advice?\n\nPost: Some history, sorry for the wall of text - I had sex for the first time with a girlfriend when I was 16. We had a lot of sex and all was good. No problems whatsoever. Great sex life with her for four or five months. \n Fast forward to next girlfriend, I was 17/18. When we decide we're ready for sex, we try and it was very painful for her. We tried again and it was very painful again. After that second time we tried maybe one or two more times, but both times, as I was about to enter her my dick lost like all hardness. This was pretty depressing, and I got pretty worried about it for a while. We ended up not really trying anymore and breaking up a month or two later. (I could still maintain hardness through handjobs/ oral sex just fine). \n It's been about a year and a half / two years since then, and I'm starting to see this other girl. We started some pretty intense dry humping two weeks ago or so and my first sign to be worried was I wasn't really maintaining hardness or getting completely erect during these dry humping sessions. I shrugged it off (because I mean, dry humping? not exactly the most arousing activity) but last night she tried giving me a handjob. Now in my defense, she didn't seem like she really knew too well what she was doing with it. She kind of just grabbed my junk and started tugging as hard as she could. However, I had a half a boner and within thirty seconds it was pretty much gone. \n I'm worried about this. I REALLY don't want to have ED. It's not like I'm afraid of sex or anything, it's just really frustrating. Is there any advice you guys can give me to help out? Any tips to get over this apparent mental block? People who have gotten over similar situations?","Summary: My girlfriend isn't affectionate and kind of blows me off with some frequency; I think she DOES care but doesn't really show it well; I brought it up and she was offended and mad, so I dropped it but things haven't really changed; can I bring it up again? I'm really not that needy, but she's just... Not good at being a girlfriend, how can I help her change that?\n\nPost: I [20M] have been seeing her [21F] for just over four months, and been exclusive with her for two. I really like her, but I have to be honest, she's a pretty awful girlfriend. \n Before we were actually exclusive I made it clear that I wanted to be, and she would always say 'you don't want me as your girlfriend, I'd make an awful girlfriend'. She's had one other serious relationship before, and after five months, her boyfriend broke up with her and told a bunch of people that she was an awful girlfriend. I convinced myself that she couldn't be that bad, and even if she was I could deal with it, and we became exclusive. \n I do not consider myself a needy guy at ALL, but at the same time I love being connected to girls. And my girlfriend is horrible at showing affection. I can probably count the number of times she's done some small show of affection (scratching my back, initiating hand holding, random hugs) on one hand. She constantly will randomly stop texting me when we're talking about pretty important things, and unintentionally leads me on pretty often into thinking we'll be able to hang out. \n Three times in the past week, she's told me we can hang out later that night. The time will keep going by, and eventually I'll text her at like eleven or midnight and say 'Maybe I misunderstood, but did you wanna hang out tonight...?' or something, and she'll say she forgot or she's sorry but she's busy with her other friends. \n That sounds like she's not into me, I know, but I brought it up a few days ago, saying I feel like I give like 110% in the relationship and she gives maybe 60%, and she got MAD. She was like 'I told you I'd be a bad girlfriend... It's how I am' - she was offended and genuinely hurt that I thought that, which makes me think that she really DOES care about me, but she's just not great at showing it. I kind of let it drop, but I still feel like I'm putting more in than she is - she'll choose to hang out with her other friends over me, or just not get back to me when I text her, and it's really frustrating. I want to bring it up again but I know she'll get offended and hurt again. I should clear up though, I do see her pretty often - once every two days, sometimes every day. But when I DO see her she'll kick me out after a few hours to go do something else.","Summary: Girlfriend of about 2 months isn't into talking about feelings / emotion; she's new to serious relationships; how can we connect with her not really knowing how relationships work?\n\nPost: I [20M] have been dating her [21F] for about two months now, and maybe I'm old fashioned, but I feel like we haven't connected as well as relationships I've had in the past. Allow me to elaborate. \n This is my first real relationship in college - I'm a sophomore and she's a senior - we saw each other / dated casually for a couple of months before things became official two months ago, so we've been talking a lot for more like four or five months now. We finally made things official, and I was hoping that the emotional connection would follow. In previous relationships (note - this was high school) I had two serious relationships, each lasting about a year, and in the first few months we connected really strongly. We would have talks about how we felt about each other, and I could tell that my girlfriend's and I really felt the same way about each other. Not like saying the 'love' word, it just felt like what most people would call the 'honeymoon' period. \n My girlfriend and I see each other pretty often. Usually daily, for a few hours (small college allows easy access to hang out) but I feel like emotionally things haven't moved like they used to in these high school relationships. I really like this girl, but I'm not sure how she feels about us dating. I've made it pretty clear that I really do like her and intend to keep seeing her, but she's never initiated a single serious conversation about how we view our relationship or each other. Maybe it's an immature expectation, but in every other relationship I've had the girls have been more than eager to talk about what we're feeling in terms of emotional connections - I'll give an example if this isn't very clear. \n We'll be laughing and having a good time, and I'll think 'hey, it'd be a good time to say something kind of sappy' so I'll say 'hey, I'm really glad we're dating'. She'll just giggle a little and say something like 'you're such a kidder'. This is a pretty standard example. I honestly don't go too far or say anything too weird, but she'll always dismiss what I say like I'm joking even though I'm SURE she knows I'm not. \n How do I help progress things along emotionally? I know I can't force her to feel things she doesn't, but what have you all found is effective in terms of girls opening up to you? She's never had a real boyfriend before, so I feel like that's part of the issue. Any help would be appreciated!","Summary: Girlfriend and I stopped connecting, I have some emotional issues going on right now due to recent parental divorce / other major life events, when I try to talk to her about them she immediately changes the topic, is it too needy to ask her to just LISTEN to me?\n\nPost: Hey all, \n I [20M] have been seeing girl [21F] for four months and dating officially for two. Things were great before we started dating - we seemed like we were getting closer and she seemed 'into' the relationship, whatever that means. However, ever since we became official, it's almost been like we hit a brick wall. We used to talk about how we felt about each other (the standard 'I like you more', 'no I like you more' banter) but now whenever I bring up any sort of topic relating to our feelings for each other she shrugs it off with a giggle and a 'whatever'. I have no idea why this happened. \n The real problem though is my emotional state. My parents got divorced a year ago and are dating again, and while I know it's been a while, I'm 'going through some stuff' about it. I'm depressed pretty often and have been getting panic attacks at least once a month since the divorce. I'm not an emotional wreck by any means, but I'd really like to be able to talk about this stuff with her. \n Problem is every time I bring up a problem of mine or my feelings, she will say something along the lines of 'that sucks' and immediately change the subject to one of HER problems (which, not to be insensitive, are nowhere near as bad as mine). I told her a month ago about my panic attacks and she immediately started talking about how she used to be pretty depressed a few years ago and switched the subject completely. I'm depressed NOW and she is doing nothing to help... In fact, her seeming emotional detachment is hurting more than anything. I really like this girl but I can't talk to her about anything real - our conversations lie somewhere around smalltalk and pleasant chatter. \n My question is - can I bring up these issues to her? I don't want to seem too needy, but I don't think it's asking too much to ask for her to listen to me a little bit more.","Summary: Confessed feelings for best friend; we kiss and cuddle but she won't tell me how she feels for weeks; she eventually tells me she wants to be with me but is afraid she'd hurt me because she still hasn't gotten over her insane ex; I don't want to remove myself from her life but can't keep being around her for much longer as just a friend. How do I handle the situation? \n EDIT - I know it's tough not to be cynical in a lot of these /r/dating_advice threads, but please just read the info I posted above and take it as truth. I trust this girl implicitly and legitimately cannot see her lying to me about anything, so please take that into consideration when you comment. Also, I'd appreciate advice as to what to DO as opposed to your take on in what ways she is leading me along.\n\nPost: I [20M] have gotten really close with her [21F] over the past couple months as friends. By really close, I mean she's become my closest friend on my college campus - we were really tight before any feelings developed, and told me a lot about her past before there was any talk or idea of dating (which fostered a lot of trust between us). A few weeks ago though, I started seeing her as a bit more than a friend. Because I didn't want to screw up our friendship I sat her down and said pretty much verbatim \"Hey I need to get this off my chest so I can start to get over it, but I like you. I value our friendship a ton and realize that you have a lot of shit going on in your life I don't wanna complicate, so just give me a week or two to deal with my feelings.\" \n I was definitely expecting her to say she doesn't see me in that way and get rejected, but instead she didn't say anything and started cuddling, and we ended up kissing. Since then we've snuggled consistently and kissed one more time, but she never would answer anything I asked about her feelings towards me, so a week ago I told her that unless she could give me a straight answer about what she wanted we had to be just friends. \n She basically told me that she's afraid she'd hurt me if we started dating. She broke up with her asshole ex like 9 months ago, and still hasn't completely gotten over him, and is worried that if we became anything official she'd end up breaking my heart because she can't sort through her feelings towards him. She's had a few flings in the past 9 months but only with guys she wasn't serious about and didn't think she really had a future with. Bottom line is that she doesn't want to lose me in her life and doesn't trust herself right now, but says that maybe when she gets over her ex more we could be together. \n It's all very confusing. She'll say things like 'I get butterflies when I think of you' and that 'if I trusted myself I would jump into your arms and tell you how I don't want anything else', so I know that she likes me in that way. I care about her so much and don't want to remove myself from her life, because she's going through some really tough times and I know she needs someone there for her. So what do I do? Do I keep waiting and hoping she figures out herself a little bit? I don't know if I can keep being with her as just a friend for that much longer. Is she being stupid or am I?"],"string":"[\n \"Summary: date went well, hung out after, hung out later that night, asked her out again and got a possibly mixed response\\n\\nPost: Update - date was yesterday at five thirty, I picked her up and we went to a semi-nice European restaurant. We talked and hit it off pretty well during the date, ended up leaving the restaurant at eight. I drove her back and we decided to hang out for an hour before she left to go to the bars with some of her friends, and we made out a bit and cuddled and stuff. I left feeling pretty good about the whole date. \\n Later last night though, at like one in the morning she texted me asking how my night had gone and we ended up hanging out again (we were both a bit drunk but not too gone) and I went over for another hour or two which was awesome. \\n Only thing that I'm not sure about - I asked her after dinner if she wanted to go minigolf sometime in the next week (corny, I know) and she said maybe because she doesn't really like minigolf. I'm pretty sure she was just saying maybe to minigolf, NOT to another date, but we moved on to something else so I'm not sure.\",\n \"Summary: the internet is here now and only time will tell what happens next.\\n\\nPost: I'm certainly not in-the-know enough to make any serious predictions, but with the development of internet music culture over the past few years (Soundcloud, Bandcamp, etc.) I think that music is becoming a much more liquid art form. With the ease of creating and sharing tracks and musical ideas, mixtapes and only-digital releases have become a lot more popular. \\n However I think that can be attributed to the over saturation of music we're seeing. Because you can download a high quality DAW for free in a matter of hours and become somewhat adept at it through basic Youtube tutorials etc within the course of a week, everyone and their mother is trying their hand at making music. I don't know for sure whether the sheer abundance of music being produced lately is going to bode well or not for the album format / music industry in general, but I do think that internet-based music cultures are changing the way people consume music.\",\n \"Summary: I like a senior and am a sophomore, she seems into me but may just be really nice, how can I tell and what do I do?\\n\\nPost: I'm a sophomore guy in college, interested in a senior. She's exactly my ideal kind of girl and she seems like she's interested in me. \\n We have one class together, and in the past few weeks we've started sitting next to each other and hang out during class. The problem is though that I can't tell if she's interested in me or just awesome/a really nice person. A few examples--the class we have is an intro to acting class, and for a warm up exercise we have to pretend this tennis ball is some other object and give it to someone else. Most people just said things like \\\"here's a cheeseburger\\\" or something else generic, but it came to her turn to give something to me and she got on one knee and fake proposed to me. In response, yesterday my fraternity had like a skit-type thing and at one point we have to get someone from the audience and dance with them, and I pulled her up and danced and she seemed like she was having a good time. \\n I don't have her number yet but I friended her on facebook a few days ago and immediately she posted on my wall and started to like posts that I was part of. I guess the reason I'm skeptical is because of the age gap. If she was my age I would definitely go for it; the two year difference makes me kind of think that maybe she's just thinking I'm just some random sophomore and wouldn't even consider dating me. I can't tell the difference between 'into me' and her being nice. \\n I think I want to ask her out just for peace of mind, but my question is how would I do that? I was thinking just asking her after class this week if she wants to go get dinner sometime. Any help in general would be greatly appreciated!\",\n \"Summary: I've been seeing a girl for a few weeks, we hang out/text/cuddle/make out pretty often, she doesn't know what she wants, how can I help her make up her mind?\\n\\nPost: I [20M] met a girl[21F] a month or so ago. We went on a date, kissed, and have been hanging out watching a TV show every few days since the date two and a half weeks ago. We cuddle and make out pretty intensely, and we text pretty much daily. While this may sound awesome, last week we started talking about the direction of our 'relationship' and things are pretty confusing. \\n Before I get into that, a few relevant pieces of information. She's two years ahead of me and is going to graduate at the end of the year. I'm also transferring at the end of the year (unrelated to her) but I think she's awesome and want to date even though we'll likely have to stop seeing each other in six/seven months. Also, after our first date we set up plans for another, which got put on hold by our conversation. Back to that though. \\n Basically, she asked where I saw us hanging out going, and I told her I want to date. She says that she's not completely against it, she just doesn't know what she wants. She's worried about the whole graduation thing (which she's agreed is her over thinking things, neither of us know if we'd even still be seeing each other in seven months) and hasn't really dated in a few years. She kept on saying that she wouldn't even make a very good girlfriend, and also mentioned that she has commitment issues. I'm pretty sure by commitment issues she just means she's indecisive though; she really doesn't seem the type to cheat on a guy. \\n The gist of what she said though is that she doesn't know what she wants. What she does know though is that she wants to keep hanging out, and seems to think we'll be hanging out for at least another month or two. At this point I really am not sure if I'm a booty call (we just make out, there's been nothing past a bit of rubbing and stuff) or just an option she's keeping open for now. She's said things like she'd miss hanging out with me, and has asked if the only reason I hang out with her is because we make out (which it isn't) and has said other slightly relationship-ey things that give me some hope. \\n All in all, I'm just confused about what to do now. I feel like if I patiently wait for her to make up her mind she never will and we'll keep on hanging out and be in this casual limbo kind of state, but I don't want to keep asking her about it and have her just get annoyed and decide we shouldn't be hanging out anymore. What do I do to help her make up her mind?\",\n \"Summary: Choline and piracetam powders were in my car for two months, I'm sure they've been in pretty extreme temperatures (maybe 20F - 90F?), are they still effective and safe?\\n\\nPost: About six months ago, I purchased a tub of piracetam and a tub of choline in powder form. I tried it for a week or two and was fairly consistent in my doses but never really noticed anything too different and kind of just stopped using it. However, I'd like to give it another try. \\n The thing is, they've just been sitting in my car for a month or two now. The temperature in that time has varied from really hot outside to freezing. Is the powder still effective / safe to use?\",\n \"Summary: I'm planning on asking a girl out Wednesday, how do I ask her in a way that makes it clear that it's a date and what would be the best way to phrase it?\\n\\nPost: I'm planning on asking a girl I'm interested in out after a class on Wednesday. I'm a (20M) and she's a (21F), and I'm wondering what the best way to go about this would be. I had relationships all throughout high school but nothing so far yet in college, so I'm not sure if I should go about it differently than I did in high school. \\n I'm hopeful about it but not that confident that she'll say yes, mostly because she's two grades ahead of me (I asked about the age gap on here a day or two ago). The way I plan on asking is just pulling her aside after class and saying, 'Hey, I know this is kind of coming out of nowhere, but would you want to get dinner or something sometime this week?' \\n I realize that sounds pretty beta/not that confident, but it is a bit true that it's coming out of nowhere; I don't think she expects me to ask her out at all. That's not to say we don't have chemistry--the reason I haven't dated at all in college as of yet is just because I haven't really found anyone I've liked that much (except this girl). \\n I guess my question is, should I act as confident as possible and tell her that we should go out, like \\\"we should go out to dinner this week\\\" or should I ask her if she wants to? I want it to be as clear as possible that this would be a date, and not like a friendly thing.\",\n \"Summary: 20M interested in a 21F, only talked for a week or two, she suggested we hang out and watch this show together, is she interested or does she just think i'm another friend?\\n\\nPost: I [20M] started getting to know a girl [21F] about a month and a half ago in a class we have together, and the past few weeks we've really been hitting it off pretty well (or so I think...). I don't see her much outside of class, she's a senior and I'm a sophomore, but once or twice I've seen her and there seems to be just as much chemistry outside of class as there is in it.\\nI got her number a week or so ago and we've texted off and on since. I've started watching a TV show she recommended (Dr. Who, if you must know) and we were texting about it and she said that if I'm doubting how good the show is we can watch it together for support.\\nNow this kind of came out of the blue. We've only been really talking/hitting it off for a few weeks, and only this past week have we really talked much outside of class. The question is, is this a friend-zoning move or is it her wanting to get to know me? I feel like we have definite chemistry but I'm not sure if she's just really nice or is actually into me.\",\n \"Summary: haven't fapped for 10 days, came close tonight, have three questions cause I'm a newbie\\n\\nPost: Alright, first post on r/nofap, here goes. First, thanks for saving me tonight, I (20M) was as close as it gets to fapping and I came here instead. \\n About a month and a half ago I started seeing a girl, and decided, why not give up fapping for a little while, couldn't hurt, right? I made it ten or eleven days, then gave in. I wasn't too mad at myself or anything, it was more of a test of willpower than anything else - I'd never heard of nofap and didn't know the negative consequences involved. \\n Fast forward to about two weeks ago. Girl I'm seeing (who I really do like) and I are getting kinda hot and heavy, and she grabs my junk for the first time ever. I was semi-hard, and she tried giving a handy (albeit a really bad one) and within sixty seconds my half hardon was completely gone. This freaked me out. \\n I'd heard of nofap by this point, and decided maybe it was something I needed to check out. I haven't fapped since two Fridays ago I believe, but I have a few questions. \\n First - should I be avoiding all orgasm inducing activities or just self induced porno death grip fap sessions? Should I stop my girl if she tries to give me a handy again?\\nSecond - what is the ruling on wet dreams / precum? I've had one wet dream since I started and precum-ed a few times with really intense makeout sessions with the girl.\\nLast - I heard somewhere on nofap that after a week you get a boost in libido, but after that you flatline for a bit... Is that true, and if so when does the libido come back?\",\n \"Summary: Girlfriend is virgin waiting on marriage, is grossed out by blowjobs, I go down on her like twice a week, how do I bring up me wanting BJs / convince her not to be grossed out by them?\\n\\nPost: I [20M] started dating her [21F] about a month and a half ago. She told me before we started dating that she was a virgin, and I am fine with that. I'm not overly sexually experienced, the last time I had sex was about two years ago with a past girlfriend. While I'm fine that I probably won't be having sex with this girl (at least for a very long time), I love getting head and was hoping that would be happening. \\n Either right before we were officially dating or right in the beginning, we were hanging out one night (and were both a bit tipsy). Things were getting pretty hot and heavy, and she asked me what I wanted her to do. She'd been using her hands and I thought this was a good time to pop the BJ question - I asked her if she wanted to use her mouth. She immediately got pretty awkward and said no, she thinks that's pretty gross. I took this the wrong way and assumed she just didn't want to do it right now, but probably would later. \\n Fast forward to now - I haven't brought blowjobs up since, but she asks me to give HER oral about twice a week. I don't really want to pull the 'I give you head so you owe me' card but I don't really know how else to bring it up. She gives me handjobs like pretty often, four or five times a week, but in all honesty most guys can probably agree that handjobs are pretty lame. Knowing that I won't be having sex with her, I'd really appreciate if I was at least getting head, and hopefully without her getting really grossed out and awkward when / if she does it. How do I bring up me wanting blowjobs in a not douchey way? Also, how have you helped girls get out of the 'blowjobs are gross' mindset?\",\n \"Summary: Unhappy for years, thought it was natural; parents divorced and I started getting panic attacks; trapped in my college; trapped in my fraternity; trapped in my major; scared to talk to girlfriend about this stuff. I don't really have people to talk to about this stuff, have any of you been in similar situations? Is it normal to just be unhappy most of the time or should I seek some sort of help?\\n\\nPost: This is my second draft; the first one was a wall of text to be reckoned with. Hope this is more manageable, I broke it down to the essential parts. It is admittedly still pretty long though. \\n I [20M] have been consistently unhappy for about four years now. I've had periods of happiness, but I always feel like my 'natural state' is really discontented and disillusioned. I thought that everyone was like this, but I'm starting to have my doubts. \\n Parents divorced two years ago, in the summer before I came to college - they didn't handle it well and my siblings and I were pretty involved / used by them almost. I started getting panic attacks / emotional breaks once or twice a month around this time. I've been seeing a therapist about them for a few months now, but she doesn't really know that I'm unhappy, she just thinks I have some social anxiety. \\n I came to college (my fourth choice) and while I was initially excited to leave the emotional roller coaster of being at home, I quickly realized I had made the wrong choice of school. People here are boring, in all honesty - conversations boil down to one of three things - getting hammered, sports, and hooking up with girls. I like partying, don't mind sports, and like girls, but honestly that is ALL PEOPLE TALK ABOUT. It's a small school, and really homogenous. Everyone feels like the same person, they just look different. I wanted to transfer but joined a fraternity, hoping it would help. It hasn't, and it seems too late to transfer to another school. \\n The fraternity is awful and where a lot of my negative emotions come from. I didn't know enough about this particular house before joining it. Every single brother is an EXTREME alpha-male. I am not exaggerating when I say there are intensely violent fights at least once a week between brothers, often when they're drunk and always about something RIDICULOUS. This fraternity is the epitome of what I don't like about the college, but if I left it I would be cut off socially. I have maybe four friends that would hang out with me (even talk to me) if I deactivated. I feel very trapped and claustrophobic. \\n I also switched my major at the end of last year, hoping that would help. While I'm happier in this particular major than my last one, I still feel like I made the wrong choice. After taking classes for this major I've realized it should be more of a hobby, but at this point I can't switch to something else. It's second semester sophomore year, and in order to switch to what I want to (something in the sciences) I'd have to essentially start my college career over, and I don't have the money to do that. Another thing I feel like I'm trapped in. \\n To top it all off, I have a girlfriend of three months who will be graduating and leaving to go to grad school (effectively ending our relationship) at the end of this semester. She isn't particularly empathetic and I feel like I can't talk to her about this stuff without sounding pathetic.\",\n \"Summary: Is it better to learn how to draw specific styles through tutorials and such, or draw often on your own and develop your own style?\\n\\nPost: I have always loved drawing and have a keen eye for design / what looks good. I am a sophomore in college and am quite good at drawing a very specific style of cartoons, but I'd really like to expand my abilities. \\n In your experiences, is it better to use online tutorials (and/or books) to teach yourself specific methods and styles of drawing, or better to draw often on your own and develop your own 'style'?\",\n \"Summary: Seeing a girl for a month now, second date is tomorrow, had a talk about direction a week or two ago that she left completely unresolved, fair to bring it up again?\\n\\nPost: Me [20M] and a girl [21F] have been hanging out frequently (every two or three days about) for 3-4 weeks now. We've been on one date, two weeks ago, and have another one tomorrow. However, things aren't going as well as I'd hoped. \\n Pretty much we had a talk two weeks ago about the direction of our 'relationship', and I told her I wanted to date her and she said she doesn't know what she wants. Her reasons for indecision are all fair enough (she's graduating this year and doesn't know where she'll be next year) but it's getting very frustrating. Our talk (which she initiated) ended completely unresolved. \\n Since then we haven't really talked about it at all, but she did agree to go on another date (tomorrow). I don't want to annoy her, but I feel like I deserve some sort of idea of what she wants. Is it fair to bring it up at some point tomorrow? In all honesty, even if she tells me she doesn't want to date, it'll be better than just wondering all the time. Thoughts?\",\n \"Summary: What do you look for when auditioning bandmates other than talent with an instrument?\\n\\nPost: I'm hoping this is the right subreddit for this kind of question; it was the closest match I could find! \\n Basically, I'll be auditioning for a local alt rock band on my college campus soon as a vocalist. I'm not sure why they are in need of a vocalist as I know they've already been around a while, but I want to make a good impression because their style of music is exactly the type of music I enjoy / write. \\n What I'm looking for is from those of you that have auditioned people for bands you've been in. What do you look for in a bandmate? Aside from obviously talent someone has at an instrument / vocals, which I'm not too worried about (I have a pretty good voice, if I do say so myself).\",\n \"Summary: My girlfriend used to be affectionate, but she isn't anymore; if I bring it up she gets absurdly angry and frustrated. How do I talk to her about how this is an issue for me?\\n\\nPost: Condensed version - I [20M] have been official with girlfriend [21F] for three months, but we dated for several months before that. And when I say dated, I mean spent pretty much every day with. However ever since we became official, things have changed. \\n Before we became an official couple, she was sentimental and 'couple-y'. We'd say cheesy dumb things to each other, and were very affectionate, which I love. However, when we became official, within a matter of a week or two this all evaporated. I'll try to say something VAGUELY sentimental, about how good she looks today or about how I care about her and she'll immediately respond with a condescending snort and a 'Ok, whatever 1115.' \\n I believe that communication is a huge factor in relationships, so I've tried to bring this up - twice. Both times, she's become immediately angry with me and accused me of trying to change her... I don't want to change her, I just want to know what changed to make her so distant. I'm experienced in relationships, I know a honeymoon period is common, but this is very different. She refuses to acknowledge my question and I'm unsure of what to do - both times I've brought it up she's become angry and a big fight has resulted, ending in us not talking for several days. \\n There has been no trauma or significant change in her life in the past few months. I just want at least to know what made this change happen. Of course, it'd also be nice if she was affectionate again...\",\n \"Summary: Haven't had sexual contact in a few years, last time it didn't end too well, started getting a handjob (a pretty bad one) last night and my junk lost hardness, advice?\\n\\nPost: Some history, sorry for the wall of text - I had sex for the first time with a girlfriend when I was 16. We had a lot of sex and all was good. No problems whatsoever. Great sex life with her for four or five months. \\n Fast forward to next girlfriend, I was 17/18. When we decide we're ready for sex, we try and it was very painful for her. We tried again and it was very painful again. After that second time we tried maybe one or two more times, but both times, as I was about to enter her my dick lost like all hardness. This was pretty depressing, and I got pretty worried about it for a while. We ended up not really trying anymore and breaking up a month or two later. (I could still maintain hardness through handjobs/ oral sex just fine). \\n It's been about a year and a half / two years since then, and I'm starting to see this other girl. We started some pretty intense dry humping two weeks ago or so and my first sign to be worried was I wasn't really maintaining hardness or getting completely erect during these dry humping sessions. I shrugged it off (because I mean, dry humping? not exactly the most arousing activity) but last night she tried giving me a handjob. Now in my defense, she didn't seem like she really knew too well what she was doing with it. She kind of just grabbed my junk and started tugging as hard as she could. However, I had a half a boner and within thirty seconds it was pretty much gone. \\n I'm worried about this. I REALLY don't want to have ED. It's not like I'm afraid of sex or anything, it's just really frustrating. Is there any advice you guys can give me to help out? Any tips to get over this apparent mental block? People who have gotten over similar situations?\",\n \"Summary: My girlfriend isn't affectionate and kind of blows me off with some frequency; I think she DOES care but doesn't really show it well; I brought it up and she was offended and mad, so I dropped it but things haven't really changed; can I bring it up again? I'm really not that needy, but she's just... Not good at being a girlfriend, how can I help her change that?\\n\\nPost: I [20M] have been seeing her [21F] for just over four months, and been exclusive with her for two. I really like her, but I have to be honest, she's a pretty awful girlfriend. \\n Before we were actually exclusive I made it clear that I wanted to be, and she would always say 'you don't want me as your girlfriend, I'd make an awful girlfriend'. She's had one other serious relationship before, and after five months, her boyfriend broke up with her and told a bunch of people that she was an awful girlfriend. I convinced myself that she couldn't be that bad, and even if she was I could deal with it, and we became exclusive. \\n I do not consider myself a needy guy at ALL, but at the same time I love being connected to girls. And my girlfriend is horrible at showing affection. I can probably count the number of times she's done some small show of affection (scratching my back, initiating hand holding, random hugs) on one hand. She constantly will randomly stop texting me when we're talking about pretty important things, and unintentionally leads me on pretty often into thinking we'll be able to hang out. \\n Three times in the past week, she's told me we can hang out later that night. The time will keep going by, and eventually I'll text her at like eleven or midnight and say 'Maybe I misunderstood, but did you wanna hang out tonight...?' or something, and she'll say she forgot or she's sorry but she's busy with her other friends. \\n That sounds like she's not into me, I know, but I brought it up a few days ago, saying I feel like I give like 110% in the relationship and she gives maybe 60%, and she got MAD. She was like 'I told you I'd be a bad girlfriend... It's how I am' - she was offended and genuinely hurt that I thought that, which makes me think that she really DOES care about me, but she's just not great at showing it. I kind of let it drop, but I still feel like I'm putting more in than she is - she'll choose to hang out with her other friends over me, or just not get back to me when I text her, and it's really frustrating. I want to bring it up again but I know she'll get offended and hurt again. I should clear up though, I do see her pretty often - once every two days, sometimes every day. But when I DO see her she'll kick me out after a few hours to go do something else.\",\n \"Summary: Girlfriend of about 2 months isn't into talking about feelings / emotion; she's new to serious relationships; how can we connect with her not really knowing how relationships work?\\n\\nPost: I [20M] have been dating her [21F] for about two months now, and maybe I'm old fashioned, but I feel like we haven't connected as well as relationships I've had in the past. Allow me to elaborate. \\n This is my first real relationship in college - I'm a sophomore and she's a senior - we saw each other / dated casually for a couple of months before things became official two months ago, so we've been talking a lot for more like four or five months now. We finally made things official, and I was hoping that the emotional connection would follow. In previous relationships (note - this was high school) I had two serious relationships, each lasting about a year, and in the first few months we connected really strongly. We would have talks about how we felt about each other, and I could tell that my girlfriend's and I really felt the same way about each other. Not like saying the 'love' word, it just felt like what most people would call the 'honeymoon' period. \\n My girlfriend and I see each other pretty often. Usually daily, for a few hours (small college allows easy access to hang out) but I feel like emotionally things haven't moved like they used to in these high school relationships. I really like this girl, but I'm not sure how she feels about us dating. I've made it pretty clear that I really do like her and intend to keep seeing her, but she's never initiated a single serious conversation about how we view our relationship or each other. Maybe it's an immature expectation, but in every other relationship I've had the girls have been more than eager to talk about what we're feeling in terms of emotional connections - I'll give an example if this isn't very clear. \\n We'll be laughing and having a good time, and I'll think 'hey, it'd be a good time to say something kind of sappy' so I'll say 'hey, I'm really glad we're dating'. She'll just giggle a little and say something like 'you're such a kidder'. This is a pretty standard example. I honestly don't go too far or say anything too weird, but she'll always dismiss what I say like I'm joking even though I'm SURE she knows I'm not. \\n How do I help progress things along emotionally? I know I can't force her to feel things she doesn't, but what have you all found is effective in terms of girls opening up to you? She's never had a real boyfriend before, so I feel like that's part of the issue. Any help would be appreciated!\",\n \"Summary: Girlfriend and I stopped connecting, I have some emotional issues going on right now due to recent parental divorce / other major life events, when I try to talk to her about them she immediately changes the topic, is it too needy to ask her to just LISTEN to me?\\n\\nPost: Hey all, \\n I [20M] have been seeing girl [21F] for four months and dating officially for two. Things were great before we started dating - we seemed like we were getting closer and she seemed 'into' the relationship, whatever that means. However, ever since we became official, it's almost been like we hit a brick wall. We used to talk about how we felt about each other (the standard 'I like you more', 'no I like you more' banter) but now whenever I bring up any sort of topic relating to our feelings for each other she shrugs it off with a giggle and a 'whatever'. I have no idea why this happened. \\n The real problem though is my emotional state. My parents got divorced a year ago and are dating again, and while I know it's been a while, I'm 'going through some stuff' about it. I'm depressed pretty often and have been getting panic attacks at least once a month since the divorce. I'm not an emotional wreck by any means, but I'd really like to be able to talk about this stuff with her. \\n Problem is every time I bring up a problem of mine or my feelings, she will say something along the lines of 'that sucks' and immediately change the subject to one of HER problems (which, not to be insensitive, are nowhere near as bad as mine). I told her a month ago about my panic attacks and she immediately started talking about how she used to be pretty depressed a few years ago and switched the subject completely. I'm depressed NOW and she is doing nothing to help... In fact, her seeming emotional detachment is hurting more than anything. I really like this girl but I can't talk to her about anything real - our conversations lie somewhere around smalltalk and pleasant chatter. \\n My question is - can I bring up these issues to her? I don't want to seem too needy, but I don't think it's asking too much to ask for her to listen to me a little bit more.\",\n \"Summary: Confessed feelings for best friend; we kiss and cuddle but she won't tell me how she feels for weeks; she eventually tells me she wants to be with me but is afraid she'd hurt me because she still hasn't gotten over her insane ex; I don't want to remove myself from her life but can't keep being around her for much longer as just a friend. How do I handle the situation? \\n EDIT - I know it's tough not to be cynical in a lot of these /r/dating_advice threads, but please just read the info I posted above and take it as truth. I trust this girl implicitly and legitimately cannot see her lying to me about anything, so please take that into consideration when you comment. Also, I'd appreciate advice as to what to DO as opposed to your take on in what ways she is leading me along.\\n\\nPost: I [20M] have gotten really close with her [21F] over the past couple months as friends. By really close, I mean she's become my closest friend on my college campus - we were really tight before any feelings developed, and told me a lot about her past before there was any talk or idea of dating (which fostered a lot of trust between us). A few weeks ago though, I started seeing her as a bit more than a friend. Because I didn't want to screw up our friendship I sat her down and said pretty much verbatim \\\"Hey I need to get this off my chest so I can start to get over it, but I like you. I value our friendship a ton and realize that you have a lot of shit going on in your life I don't wanna complicate, so just give me a week or two to deal with my feelings.\\\" \\n I was definitely expecting her to say she doesn't see me in that way and get rejected, but instead she didn't say anything and started cuddling, and we ended up kissing. Since then we've snuggled consistently and kissed one more time, but she never would answer anything I asked about her feelings towards me, so a week ago I told her that unless she could give me a straight answer about what she wanted we had to be just friends. \\n She basically told me that she's afraid she'd hurt me if we started dating. She broke up with her asshole ex like 9 months ago, and still hasn't completely gotten over him, and is worried that if we became anything official she'd end up breaking my heart because she can't sort through her feelings towards him. She's had a few flings in the past 9 months but only with guys she wasn't serious about and didn't think she really had a future with. Bottom line is that she doesn't want to lose me in her life and doesn't trust herself right now, but says that maybe when she gets over her ex more we could be together. \\n It's all very confusing. She'll say things like 'I get butterflies when I think of you' and that 'if I trusted myself I would jump into your arms and tell you how I don't want anything else', so I know that she likes me in that way. I care about her so much and don't want to remove myself from her life, because she's going through some really tough times and I know she needs someone there for her. So what do I do? Do I keep waiting and hoping she figures out herself a little bit? I don't know if I can keep being with her as just a friend for that much longer. Is she being stupid or am I?\"\n]","isConversational":false},"profile_size":{"kind":"number","value":19,"string":"19"},"task":{"kind":"string","value":"longlamp_4"},"split_kind":{"kind":"string","value":"user_based"},"id":{"kind":"number","value":797,"string":"797"}}},{"rowIdx":798,"cells":{"question_id":{"kind":"string","value":"GrandMasterC147"},"question":{"kind":"string","value":"Generate the content for a reddit post I believe in a God because I actually believe there is one . not because I'm told to believe or whatever.

Black ops put emphasis on the guns instead of the killstreaks, while in modern warfare, it felt like everyone was rushing for their first killstreak, then riding a rape train to a nuke. \n However, I believe that modern warfare had a better campaign and mw3 tied up the loose ends in my opinion. But different strokes for different folks. \n Either way, black ops and modern warfare are different franchises from different companies (infinity ward and treyarch) under the same brand name (activision). I don't think your copy+paste solution will work out as that's borderline copyright infringment. It's the exact same reason why there was no \"nazi zombies\" in mw2 and mw3.","Summary: I was let down with the modern warfare series (aside from the campaign).

In MW, I felt like all it was is getting your first killstreak and riding the rape train of pave-lows and AC-130s to a nuke. And guns were just... Guns. In MW, they all seemed to have relatively the same kick, fire rate, etc.","Summary: 9/11 was an inside job.\n\nPost: Chemistry. \n All through middle school and the beginning of high school, their idea of science was ecosystems and plants.

So here's my 2 cents: \n I got into cs a little after cs:go was released, I have over 450 hours and I'm still a silver elite master. Up until about 3 months ago I was jumping up and down from silver 2 and silver 4. People say it's hard to get out of silver leagues and I agree, not just because most of the time you'll have to carry your team in order to win, but also because you are only playing with silvers . I was unfortunate enough to be in games where I am both with a smurf or against one. The best thing you can do when you are in these games is to figure out what went wrong, and how you can improve. With smurfs, you can learn and get better . With hackers there's no \"what did I do wrong?\" or \"how can I improve?\" because they have the unfair advantage of aimbots, wallhacks, etc . The only unfair advantage that smurfs have is that they have more game experience and knowledge. You can get those too. It simply takes patience and time. You wouldn't get better at playing a sport if you only played against little kids and got pissed everytime someone better than you joined the game. If you are losing, deal with it and adapt . That's what I did, and I haven't been a silver 4 or lower in a long time. If you are losing to a smurf, here's what you could do: \n -check your corners \n -take it slow \n -watch your sprays \n -try different tactics \n -use teamwork \n If all you do is give up when you get rekt, then you deserve it.","Summary: Those are the loud minority, they don't represent all of us. \n /rage (sorry for the rant)\n\nPost: 16 here, \"all i have\" is an ipod touch.

Also, I never thought of my ipod as \"all mine\", I reconignize that I should be lucky my parents even gave me an allowance. Everytime someone generalizes us as \"teens\" makes me cringe. Not all of us are greedy, throw a shit fit when they don't get their way, or want a car for their \"sweet sixteen\".

You don't want to see a Calvin and Hobbes comic in a Garfield subreddit, and these rules make sure that doesn't happen. \n Edit: forgot to add, if you are wondering why people upvote non-wtf material, it's because they are browsing their fromtpage and aren't paying attention to the subreddit it's posted in.\n\nPost: Well first off, welcome to reddit! Enjoy your stay! \n Second; yes, reposting in general is considered bad. In my opinion, if it hasn't been posted for more that 6 months, then you can repost it because by then most have forgotten it and the newer redditors can see it. \n Also, if you repost in a different subreddit, make sure it fits the standards of that subreddit too. A good example is if you post in worldnews AND wtf, you should make sure it is both a news article and something that makes you say wtf. (like a stripper running for mayor, or a man marring a tiger) \n Finally, if you repost to a different subreddit and don't follow the rules on the sidebar, it leads to the degrading of the subreddit. This one is for weird, out of place things. But a lot of people post things that are funny instead. Because of this, a lot of material that does follow the standards don't reach the front page because of the funny material taking up the front page.","Summary: not all people are uptight and bitchy just because of their religion.

He actually got his mother on the speaker and we had to listen to her bitch us out for the rest of the game. Eventually, Someome started screaming \"BITCH!!!!!!! DO YOU KNOW THIS GAME IS RATED M FOR A REASON?!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF LANGUAGE DO YOU EXPECT TO HEAR ON A GAME RATED M FOR LANGUAGE!?!?!?\" I laughed my ass of for 5 minutes straight.","Summary: cocky teens are the loud minority.\n\nPost: As a 16 year old, it doesn't really change. The cocky people are actually a minority when you think about it, but they are the \"loud minority\". \n Same thing is with Cod gamers: when you join a lobby of 12+ people and 3 of them are loud and obnoxious, you remember them more then the ones who are quiet because they don't stand out. You start to believe all gamers are like that because those are the only ones you remember. \n Another example is with customer support: imagine how many calls EA gets a day for customer support. They probably get a couple thousand every month or so. Also, you only see \"bad customer support\" post about 4-5 times a month. I'm not saying that they have good customer support, but the other 1000+ decent or better encounters are ignored because they are doing their job. Since the minority stand out more, they appear to be more than there actually are.","Summary: kid pukes all over class for class photo, tries to play it off by smiling for the camera. \n Edit: I forgot to add that after he puked, those with a weak stomach puked too, causing others to puke...

When people encounter something the like, such as a new music band, a game, or tv show, they set their standards to what it was when they started enjoying it. Anything after that usually has some change, like new pokemon, differnt music style, gameplay, characters, etc. Most people don't like change and embrace the version they first encountered the most.

They partied there because they were less likely to be caught. As a couple was driving home from the party, they didn't feel fit to drive. They had a ton of drinks and didn't want to crash the car in the middle of nowhere. The man got out to puke, but, being in his inebriated state, passed out on the ground. As the woman got out to see why he didn't return to the car, she sees him passed out on the ground, face first in puke. She, having a weak stomach, follows suit outside of the car. The sound of your car passing woke them up, coincidentally at the same time their friends found them.

Black ops put emphasis on the guns instead of the killstreaks, while in modern warfare, it felt like everyone was rushing for their first killstreak, then riding a rape train to a nuke. \\n However, I believe that modern warfare had a better campaign and mw3 tied up the loose ends in my opinion. But different strokes for different folks. \\n Either way, black ops and modern warfare are different franchises from different companies (infinity ward and treyarch) under the same brand name (activision). I don't think your copy+paste solution will work out as that's borderline copyright infringment.

In MW, I felt like all it was is getting your first killstreak and riding the rape train of pave-lows and AC-130s to a nuke. And guns were just... Guns.

Someone better than you? Get better. You don't learn by playing with silvers. \\n EDIT: Here's a video from TheWarOwl that better says what I'm trying to say\\n\\nPost: I think I'll just hop in and be a devil's advocate since everyone is seriously against smurfs. So here's my 2 cents: \\n I got into cs a little after cs:go was released, I have over 450 hours and I'm still a silver elite master. Up until about 3 months ago I was jumping up and down from silver 2 and silver 4. People say it's hard to get out of silver leagues and I agree, not just because most of the time you'll have to carry your team in order to win, but also because you are only playing with silvers . I was unfortunate enough to be in games where I am both with a smurf or against one. The best thing you can do when you are in these games is to figure out what went wrong, and how you can improve. With smurfs, you can learn and get better . With hackers there's no \\\"what did I do wrong?\\\" or \\\"how can I improve?\\\" because they have the unfair advantage of aimbots, wallhacks, etc . The only unfair advantage that smurfs have is that they have more game experience and knowledge. You can get those too. It simply takes patience and time. You wouldn't get better at playing a sport if you only played against little kids and got pissed everytime someone better than you joined the game. If you are losing, deal with it and adapt . That's what I did, and I haven't been a silver 4 or lower in a long time. If you are losing to a smurf, here's what you could do: \\n -check your corners \\n -take it slow \\n -watch your sprays \\n -try different tactics \\n -use teamwork \\n If all you do is give up when you get rekt, then you deserve it.\",\n \"Summary: Those are the loud minority, they don't represent all of us. \\n /rage (sorry for the rant)\\n\\nPost: 16 here, \\\"all i have\\\" is an ipod touch.

All the apps I buy are out of my allowance, but not once have I ever bought one without their permission, as it gets charged to their credit card. Also, I never thought of my ipod as \\\"all mine\\\", I reconignize that I should be lucky my parents even gave me an allowance. Everytime someone generalizes us as \\\"teens\\\" makes me cringe. Not all of us are greedy, throw a shit fit when they don't get their way, or want a car for their \\\"sweet sixteen\\\".

You don't want to see a Calvin and Hobbes comic in a Garfield subreddit, and these rules make sure that doesn't happen. \\n Edit: forgot to add, if you are wondering why people upvote non-wtf material, it's because they are browsing their fromtpage and aren't paying attention to the subreddit it's posted in.\\n\\nPost: Well first off, welcome to reddit! Enjoy your stay! \\n Second; yes, reposting in general is considered bad. In my opinion, if it hasn't been posted for more that 6 months, then you can repost it because by then most have forgotten it and the newer redditors can see it. \\n Also, if you repost in a different subreddit, make sure it fits the standards of that subreddit too. A good example is if you post in worldnews AND wtf, you should make sure it is both a news article and something that makes you say wtf. (like a stripper running for mayor, or a man marring a tiger) \\n Finally, if you repost to a different subreddit and don't follow the rules on the sidebar, it leads to the degrading of the subreddit. This one is for weird, out of place things. But a lot of people post things that are funny instead. Because of this, a lot of material that does follow the standards don't reach the front page because of the funny material taking up the front page.\",\n \"Summary: not all people are uptight and bitchy just because of their religion.

He actually got his mother on the speaker and we had to listen to her bitch us out for the rest of the game. Eventually, Someome started screaming \\\"BITCH!!!!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF LANGUAGE DO YOU EXPECT TO HEAR ON A GAME RATED M FOR LANGUAGE!?!?!?\\\" I laughed my ass of for 5 minutes straight.\",\n \"Summary: cocky teens are the loud minority.\\n\\nPost: As a 16 year old, it doesn't really change. The cocky people are actually a minority when you think about it, but they are the \\\"loud minority\\\". \\n Same thing is with Cod gamers: when you join a lobby of 12+ people and 3 of them are loud and obnoxious, you remember them more then the ones who are quiet because they don't stand out. You start to believe all gamers are like that because those are the only ones you remember. \\n Another example is with customer support: imagine how many calls EA gets a day for customer support. They probably get a couple thousand every month or so. Also, you only see \\\"bad customer support\\\" post about 4-5 times a month. I'm not saying that they have good customer support, but the other 1000+ decent or better encounters are ignored because they are doing their job. Since the minority stand out more, they appear to be more than there actually are.\",\n \"Summary: kid pukes all over class for class photo, tries to play it off by smiling for the camera. \\n Edit: I forgot to add that after he puked, those with a weak stomach puked too, causing others to puke...

Right before we take the pic, he just opens his mouth and throws up everywhere . it wasn't like spitting, he just opened up and unleashed it like a fire hose. He didn't make any \\\"oh god I'm gonna puke\\\" stuff, it was out of nowhere.

Plus, me and my friends usually play better when we screw around too.\\n\\nPost: Agreed, sometimes it's fun to just be really immature. When people take a game too seriously, they lose sight of the original intent of the game: to have fun. Also, it seems that me and my friends play the best when we actually screw around. \\nLike playing COD or battlefield and pretending to be the US or RU guys talking over the comms. We'd scream stuff like \\\"I've got two tangos on my six! I need back up immediately!\\\" followed by one of us yelling \\\"copy that hunter 2-1, back up arrives in 30 sec.

I then crash into an enemy tank and go down like a boss.\",\n \"Summary: people think that the station they got on the train is the best station.\\n\\nPost: One thing I learned is that when it comes to nostalgia, it always follows a pattern. \\n Ask someone who played the original games, they say that those were the best ones and after that it went down hill. \\n Ask someone who joined in Ruby/Sapphire they say it was good up until then. \\n Same thing with many other things. When people encounter something the like, such as a new music band, a game, or tv show, they set their standards to what it was when they started enjoying it. Anything after that usually has some change, like new pokemon, differnt music style, gameplay, characters, etc. Most people don't like change and embrace the version they first encountered the most. I'm sure you can ask any kid 2-3 years later and they'll say \\\"it was good up until black/white, after that it went downhill\\\".\",\n \"Summary: cop told me not to jump off a bridge, so I did a backflip.\\n\\nPost: Me and some friends were jumping off a ~10 ft bridge into the ~12ft deep river below it.

I was going to jump off when a cop pulled up, she looked at me and said \\\"don't do it.\\\". I then smiled and waved, then did a backflip off it. I smacked my back on the water below, but it was still worth it. The cop then just rolled her eyes and drive off.\",\n \"Summary: OP judged a book by a cover, and to couple's friends probably think he's a douche. \\n EDIT: forgot that sarcasm doesn't translate through \\nmy internets where I live.\\n\\nPost: Explanation: they were partying in the \\\"forbidden area\\\" as you called it. They partied there because they were less likely to be caught. As a couple was driving home from the party, they didn't feel fit to drive. They had a ton of drinks and didn't want to crash the car in the middle of nowhere. The man got out to puke, but, being in his inebriated state, passed out on the ground. As the woman got out to see why he didn't return to the car, she sees him passed out on the ground, face first in puke. She, having a weak stomach, follows suit outside of the car. The sound of your car passing woke them up, coincidentally at the same time their friends found them.

I think many men do not understand that women have their own desires, they like to have fun and express themselves sexually and that there is nothing wrong with it. \n The problem is for the past 100 years women themselves have had an advertising campaign going preaching the exact opposite - not even counting the mind fuck religion has done on the world as far as women being dirty temptresses that should be covered up - and some men who haven't spent any great deal of time with women still buy the campaign spin. \n I think it will get better, women should absolutely be able to express themselves sexually as sexual beings that have desires and needs like guys do - without being called sluts or stupid names. Maybe the moment guys can express genuine, honest appreciation for the beauty of women without fear of being called similar names.","Summary: There is absolutely no reason Adobe, or Microsoft or anyone needs to charge Australians more.

Our customers would ask why Adobe charge more to their Australian office than their American office, and frequently our business would go overseas because of the price discrepancy. \n In discussions with Adobe it was fairly clear that they would simply continue to rip off Australians until our customers stopped paying the higher price prices. \n Pricing is set out of the region, and just like the Microsoft pricelist the exchange rate is still set at 0.65c even though the Australian dollar is worth more.","Summary: If your pants are down I'll judge you as if you have no pants on.\n\nPost: Listen dude, I am simply saying, I'll keep an open mind for many styles and while I may not like and choose to dress that way, I'll respect their right to do so. \n That said, if your pants are OFF, and hanging around your ankles / knees, I don't consider you to be fully dressed and so I'll judge you like anyone I see walking around with their pants down.","Summary: We are not blocked from normal stuff.\n\nPost: Because we haven't tried getting to child porn, guides on making explosives, and other content the government deemed unfit for public consumption.

I would find an attack in the middle of germany, the U.K, Australia, or Norway equally shocking. In fact I did find the Norway shootings shocking. Many of us did. I won't apologise for it. \n The places where people have worked hard to form a safe society are the places that are most shocking to me when senseless violence against innocents occurs. \n Somalia is not a safe place. I hear about terrible things there that sadden me but am I shocked? Hell no. Are any of us shocked by rape reports in India? Yes, sometimes actually. Because each new report details more outrageous circumstances. \n The point is I belong to a society that has worked hard to reach a point where it's citizens are safe and educated and housed and employed and all the wonderful things present in a civilised society and no we should not feel guilty at being appalled when on the receiving end of an uncivilised barbaric attack. \n If someone attacks Australia then I would take it ten times more seriously than Iraq. Why? Not just because it is my country. But because we built a safe society. We have not created a place so miserable people flee to other countries, but we are the recipient of people fleeing. We are the place they go to when their country is not safe. \n So don't fuck up places like Boston, or Australia. Fix your own shitty nation or accept our help.

That said, I have free healthcare, job security and employment rights / benefits. \n I think the issue in the U.S is not that citizens are being taxed 25%, as tax can be higher in other parts of the world while still allowing for the countrys citizens to experience a good quality of life. I think the problem lies for Americans in a political system in the pockets of crooks running corporations that pay almost no tax. Not to mention your financial industry robbed you of billions and no one has been held accountable. These things speak to a class system within the United States, one law for the common man, few laws for the elite.","Summary: Nice boobs are nice boobs are boobs.\n\nPost: No, you didn't. Many girls aren't blessed with a massive rack, or any boobs, can't wear all sorts of clothing because they feel uneven or out of proportion up top.

Circumcision, like many religious traditions is now seen for what it really is and was openly questioned some time ago and found lacking any purpose or reason. Religion itself is not accepted as a reason to do wrong. And so instead of a part of a lot of peoples traditions it is viewed as a lot of people still acting in ignorance and mutilating their childrens genitals. \n Your mother is not a bad person. No more than anyone who acts in ignorance to care for their child.

Not just a bunch of disconnected server advertisements. \\n The upside is supposed to be that instead of a new post for every player or server post it is all here and that some people may not even make a post because they already spot a recommendation that matches their interests.\",\n \"Summary: Sex is good, our bodies are awesome, appreciating them is awesome, must we be at war?\\n\\nPost: You are right. I think many men do not understand that women have their own desires, they like to have fun and express themselves sexually and that there is nothing wrong with it. \\n The problem is for the past 100 years women themselves have had an advertising campaign going preaching the exact opposite - not even counting the mind fuck religion has done on the world as far as women being dirty temptresses that should be covered up - and some men who haven't spent any great deal of time with women still buy the campaign spin. \\n I think it will get better, women should absolutely be able to express themselves sexually as sexual beings that have desires and needs like guys do - without being called sluts or stupid names. Maybe the moment guys can express genuine, honest appreciation for the beauty of women without fear of being called similar names.\",\n \"Summary: There is absolutely no reason Adobe, or Microsoft or anyone needs to charge Australians more. They do so because it is harder to raise pricing again once it has been lowered, so they'll keep it high as long as possible.\\n\\nPost: I used to work with an Adobe software reseller and we had to deal with this all the time. Our customers would ask why Adobe charge more to their Australian office than their American office, and frequently our business would go overseas because of the price discrepancy. \\n In discussions with Adobe it was fairly clear that they would simply continue to rip off Australians until our customers stopped paying the higher price prices. \\n Pricing is set out of the region, and just like the Microsoft pricelist the exchange rate is still set at 0.65c even though the Australian dollar is worth more.\",\n \"Summary: If your pants are down I'll judge you as if you have no pants on.\\n\\nPost: Listen dude, I am simply saying, I'll keep an open mind for many styles and while I may not like and choose to dress that way, I'll respect their right to do so. \\n That said, if your pants are OFF, and hanging around your ankles / knees, I don't consider you to be fully dressed and so I'll judge you like anyone I see walking around with their pants down.\",\n \"Summary: We are not blocked from normal stuff.\\n\\nPost: Because we haven't tried getting to child porn, guides on making explosives, and other content the government deemed unfit for public consumption.

I would find an attack in the middle of germany, the U.K, Australia, or Norway equally shocking. In fact I did find the Norway shootings shocking. Many of us did. I won't apologise for it. \\n The places where people have worked hard to form a safe society are the places that are most shocking to me when senseless violence against innocents occurs. \\n Somalia is not a safe place. I hear about terrible things there that sadden me but am I shocked? Hell no. Are any of us shocked by rape reports in India? Yes, sometimes actually. Because each new report details more outrageous circumstances. \\n The point is I belong to a society that has worked hard to reach a point where it's citizens are safe and educated and housed and employed and all the wonderful things present in a civilised society and no we should not feel guilty at being appalled when on the receiving end of an uncivilised barbaric attack. \\n If someone attacks Australia then I would take it ten times more seriously than Iraq. Why? Not just because it is my country. But because we built a safe society. We have not created a place so miserable people flee to other countries, but we are the recipient of people fleeing. We are the place they go to when their country is not safe. \\n So don't fuck up places like Boston, or Australia. Fix your own shitty nation or accept our help.

That said, I have free healthcare, job security and employment rights / benefits. \\n I think the issue in the U.S is not that citizens are being taxed 25%, as tax can be higher in other parts of the world while still allowing for the countrys citizens to experience a good quality of life. I think the problem lies for Americans in a political system in the pockets of crooks running corporations that pay almost no tax.

Their purpose is mostly good even if they do have bad side effects like pollution, car accidents, traffic. \\n We don't need guns, they shoot people. Take them away and... people have to go back to using knives and shit and that's if their really desperate because then we are talking back to the days of hand to hand combat, people don't enter that shit lightly. That's warrior shit.\",\n \"Summary: Religion carries no weight, cutting bits off babies is still wrong.\\n\\nPost: The difference is religion itself is being questioned and no longer affords any protection for barbaric traditions. Circumcision, like many religious traditions is now seen for what it really is and was openly questioned some time ago and found lacking any purpose or reason. Religion itself is not accepted as a reason to do wrong. And so instead of a part of a lot of peoples traditions it is viewed as a lot of people still acting in ignorance and mutilating their childrens genitals. \\n Your mother is not a bad person. No more than anyone who acts in ignorance to care for their child. Bad people know better but hide behind religion and tradition and the fact that someone else is doing the cutting.\",\n \"Summary: NO SHIPPING, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD, GET YOUR KEY STRAIGHT AWAY, US PRICES ($59, $79, etc)\\n\\nPost: I was really annoyed when I saw this.
