The cost of airfare, hotel, tux, ect is already going to run me $800+ plus.
They specifically do not have a registry, and have asked for cash instead to offset the cost of their honeymoon.

Additionally, we have a red and blue legislative body unaccountable to its electorate, yet unabashedly beholden to corporate interests.
Why are we so fearful to speak truth to power and reject the dismal future our "leaders" are attempting to impose upon us? By what necessary means will it take to reverse the course upon which we are headed? We follow the rules and protest/demonstrate as dictated by the authorities, yet are routinely ignored & forgotten once protests/demonstrations have concluded.
Can the populace reverse this? Will Americans ever overcome the barrage of divide and conquer tactics deployed to divert focus from what is truly important?

I never took Calculus or Precalculus in High School. My highest algebraic skill is NYS Regents level "Algebra 2 and Trigonometry". I've taken AP Statistics, but that's a whole different ballpark.
I could either pass the Calculus placement exam (only need a 60) or I can just take my college's pre-calculus offering. I did a practice version of the pre-test and without studying (and not having Algebra for a year) got 52% right. I'm sure I can pass the placement test, but what worries me is being overwhelmed by actual Calculus, not having taken pre-calc.

I've never bought real down pillows, in part because (the good quality ones) always seem way overpriced. But I otherwise have been buying the best quality, medium-priced pillows I can find (usually about $30 or even $40 each, which since I'm buying two pillows each for both my wife and I -- comes to a total of *FOUR* pillows).

Twice in the last few days I've seen one of the homeless people no more than a block or two from a fruit stand, but always separated by at least a block. Like, you could see the fruit stand from where they were sitting -- but not close enough where you could buy some fruit and donate it without having to go out of your way (or notice the panhandler from afar). I don't really get it, especially given that these fruit vendors sell bananas at 5/$1 often ... so it's pretty easy to end up with an extra banana.
Extra banana + random homeless panhandler right there? That sounds like a solution.

Now, let's assume that this guy was just some ordinary guy who played for friends and such, and not a professional and not carrying a union card. NBC is of course a union shop, and musicians there must be members of the AFM to work. So what happens when a non-union guy off the street is allowed to play? I note that in other circumstances AFM gets really uptight about non-union musicians on shows.

I feel like people that advocate trigger warnings are advocating further entrenchment of legitimate and horrible fears, when, in my opinion, we should be helping people overcome them. | AskReddit | jewish |

1e24m1 | bashobt | 1,368,174,524,000 | This is seems absolutely insane to me. There must be something mentally wrong with these girls. A week, a month, maybe a year? But the man made zero mistakes for TEN YE aARS until now? I just don't see how.
We see how Jaycee Dugard was brainwashed, as was Elizabeth Smart in her ordeal.
But Michelle Knight was 20. And Amanda Berry was 16. It took them 87,000 hours to escape?
Not from a maximum security prison, but from a house. 87,000 hours to escape from a house.
Completely unbelievable. Not as in 'Wow! That's unbelievable!'
But more like 'That's ridiculous, they had to be willing to stay other wise they could have escaped at least 80,000 hours ago.'

1e1z3b | luciansolaris | 1,368,165,639,000 | It's really weird. I am able to tell that my internal world is up to maybe a half-second (at most) behind reality. I am able to tell because when certain, sharp, loud noises are made, I will tense up before I "hear" it internally. Now I know I'm not a remote viewer or any of that bologna. I can also 'feel' my movements in my head up to 2 seconds before they're executed, but I'm able to put the brakes on and correct them all the way up to a tenth of a second or so before execution.
I don't know how else to explain it. I see the human mind as a system, and assume it as a black box. How would the brain paint a conscious world, what are the logical 'layers' (like OSI) that input steps through, and their interactions and effects elsewhere in other layers or compartments.
My main question is, does anyone else notice this delay?

1e1wxw | SequinRococo | 1,368,162,951,000 | I've been noticing a trend in 'Restaurant Fix-it' shows, where an expert comes in, and fixes their menu, interior and employee attitudes.
One thing they do is send in ridiculously annoying/difficult/disrespectful undercover customers to test the patience of their staff. Sometimes these undercover diners are beyond reason disrespectful, and as a viewer I see no harm in not "turning the other cheek".
So where do you draw the line for polite customer service?

I don't even know how to link you to the reddit post, since there are no comments allowed. If you check the front page of /r/videos though, the link is titled "Craziest Restaurant Owners in Kitchen Nightmares History (US). (Gordon Ramsay actually walks out for the first time)."
There is a mod message on the post saying "no commenting" and below the post it shows "comments disabled."
What is the point of Reddit if there is no comment thread? That is the ENTIRE reason people use Reddit, for the discussion.
I am confused to why, especially on such a high-profile sub-reddit, there is a mod with the power to control the discussion. It may not be important on this thread, who cares what Gordon Ramsey does, but it sets a dangerous precedent in my opinion. What if comments are disabled on controversial subjects in the future?
Maybe it's no big deal, but I think there should at least be an explanation by the mod on why this was done. | AskReddit | jewish |
1e1e49 | hard5tyle | 1,368,146,271,000 | I'm sure there is a good reason for this, but why don't the television networks just release torrents for all their shows with advertising included? It's going to be put online anyway, so why not do it themselves? | AskReddit | jewish |
1e5ldq | nymusix | 1,368,315,167,000 | This is a hypothetical question, so assume that the "one day" that you go back in time on isn't necessarily one with a major world changing event like 9/11.

i dont like waking up early. it doesnt mean im lazy, its just i would much prefer going to sleep at 1:00 am and waking at 9:30 than i would like to go to sleep at 11pm and wake at 7am. but my mom thinks that if you sleep late it means youre lazy.
i dont know what to do and its really frustrating having to wake up and being tired all day because i am not comfortable with those hours.

1e4dh8 | iNemewiccan | 1,368,262,727,000 | Please keep in mind before answering that I live in Australia.
The neighbors behind me are utter bogans, cars throughout the yard, household garbage piled near the back door, personal effects in bags around the yard, they've dug up most of the brickwork in the yard and have gutted the existing shed on the property.
But that isn't the half of it, the noise factor late at night is getting stupid, people turning up at 2 am for car modifications last night was the most ridiculous thing I have ever hear, and I hear a lot from there; being the paranoid depressive that I am. They get visitors all the time, at all hours of the day, of the four that live there only two work and the other do go knows what.
Whats sad is that isn't even the worst of it, I've smelt/seen drugs being smoked in their back room, the smoke all throughout the house and last week they were raided by the police for having a small 'primitive' lab in the gutted shed. That, and they had weapons lockers in a spare room that they told others not to go into...
When the landlord was redoing the house for renting he told me the rules he expected the new tenants to follow; they have broken all of them, hell, the drugs lab should get them kicked out.
I want to write a letter describing how bad it is over there, how they don't care about his house and that if he doesn't deal with them soon they may vandalize it in the process anyway.
I know listing out the problems is the simplest option but I was wanting ideas of how to make it more professional rather than a finger point. The house has a reputation now as being a drug house, a illegal car mod house and a dangerous place...
Any ideas? | AskReddit | jewish |
