1djula | darcy_mulder | 1,367,503,709,000 | I'm living with my 90 year old grandmother, and I've been looking for some technological solutions to some of my problems.
Rose (my grandma) is in great shape for her age, but as a result she pushes herself too hard sometimes. I do attend school full time and have a part time job, so I worry about what she's doing when I'm not home. What I'm looking for is some kind of paging/phone device that she can just push one button, and it will send an alert (text, email, call) to my iphone. It would be great if she could talk to me through it, but as long as I know she needs to get in touch with me, I'd feel much better about leaving her at home.
I've thought of getting her an iPad, and just having skype on continuously. She didn't catch on on how to turn on the device, then open the app and push my contact. Her vision is very poor, so ideally I would like something with just one or 2 big analog buttons. She is capable of using the phone to call 911 if she needs, but dialing a 10 digit phone number is difficult for her. I have also purchased a digital phone for her with 1 touch dialing, but she hasn't caught on to this either. It seems as though any more than 2 button pushes can confuse her.
Any tips are greatly appreciated! | AskReddit | jewish |

My parents were overjoyed to learn that I had been invited to the National Youth Leadership Forum for National Security. Since this invitation was not mailed to the school, I was a bit skeptical. Is this a scam? They said that i was nominated, but didn't mention the individual who nominated me. I went to a seminar on Naval Intelligence last summer through the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps (a program to prepare youths for military service), and i did very well, getting honor cadet. I suppose it's possible that the CO of that training nominated me, but I'm still suspicious.

On the way to his job as a professional Muslim shooter, he exercises his freedom of speech by yelling at the Mexican immigrants who do his yard work.

We all know it happens. We've all submitted perfectly reasonable posts only to have them downvoted two or three times for seemingly no reason at all. So many of my own submissions are zeroes or negatives - and I'm not talking about the memes or pictures posted in other subreddits, but things like the last question I posted to AskReddit.
If a post or topic doesn't interest you, why not just leave it alone and let the rest of the world decide what to do with it? I honestly want to know what drives you to make that choice when you know that what you're doing is wrong. How do you justify it? Do you even try?
Edit: I'm glad you all feel compelled to comment on and downvote this post, some of you simply because it mentions downvoting and you think that's funny. It's unfortunate that very few of you are actually and earnestly answering the question. | AskReddit | jewish |
1drsgz | IvanNOW | 1,367,811,062,000 | I live in central NJ and I would like to become an extra for tv and movies. I'm a film maker and think it would be fun and kinda a good way to get into the industry, also some money. What are some sites and have any one you done it before? | AskReddit | jewish |
1drru8 | chinagreenelvis | 1,367,810,538,000 | I'm a pretty healthy skeptic. I'm a non-theist. I question just about everything I read and hear.
I once put a friend who claimed she could astrally project (after she tried teaching it to me and not being able to pick it up) to my own test. She said she couldn't promise anything, but agreed to give it a shot.
My house at the time was in such a layout that it was possible for me to leave my room and go to another while making sure she didn't. We picked a room of the house that she hadn't been in yet (although she claimed it was much easier to project into a space she was familiar with), which was the kitchen. I decided to write something on a slip of paper and magnet it to the fridge.
So I go back into my room and watch her while she goes into her state. She comes out and asks if I had drawn a picture. (There were stick figure drawings on the freezer door already done by my roommates, but since I had not drawn one myself, the answer was no.) So she goes back into her trance and after a while comes back out again and says she doesn't have anything else for me and that she's sorry. All she can see are drawings.
So I press her and ask if she saw anything else at all. She hesitates and says that she also saw what looked like the letter "E" and that it appeared strange, as if it had been written over twice.
I just about lost my shit. I took her into the kitchen and she starts pointing at the stick figures saying those are what she saw. Then I showed her what I had written: my name. (My name begins with E.) I had written it vertically, while the paper was on the door, and as it happens, the ink wasn't flowing properly in that direction - so I had to re-write the first letter.
To this day, I simply can't explain it. Either she's an incredible con-artist beyond anything I've ever known, or she projected and did it. Based on my personal experience with it, I'm inclined to lean towards the latter. So that's my own "proof." | AskReddit | jewish |
1dro6u | andresvillacres1 | 1,367,807,414,000 | So long story short, I am a closet atheist, my mom is a christian. We just had a big discussion on how we humans or made in the image of God etc.. I gave the talk on how bones, DNA and what not have been significant finings on the matter. Then she came up saying recent studies have found that to be false.
**tl;dr**: Mom is a christian who doesn't believe in evolution. Need some good facts. | AskReddit | jewish |
