I've been spending my mornings (or pretty much any time of the day) sitting at home knowing there is plenty of stuff out there but finding the reasons or energy to go engage it. When I do manage to convince myself to go do *something* I usually can't think of anything that isn't too dicouraging to take m back to where I started. I can usually see these episodes coming when they do and I tell myself that if I had any sort of weapon against this kind of mood I should use it immediately, but nothing comes up.
What gets you going when you're stuck in this kind of state?

1e8w86 | LogicWavelength | 1,368,456,995,000 | My lovely dog has learn how to hit the deadbolt knob with his paws and then hit my ROUND door knob until the front door opens. While I'm at work, he has free range of my high-traffic suburban town. This is leaving my home unprotected for hours at a time. He also was mauled a few years ago by another dog and instantly tries to murder any dog he comes across.
Can you see how this is a serious problem?
I bought a double-keyed deadbolt as a temporary solution. This will at least stop the immediate dangers. However, how do I train him to stop this behavior? Please DO NOT suggest I hide with a remote shock collar until I catch him in the act. I need a completely autonomous solution. I researched ways to electrify my door knob, but the only viable way is to use a disposable camera flash as a taser, hooking leads up to the knob and placing a grounding plate on the floor.
Any suggestions are IMMEDIATELY WELCOME!!! This is a serious problem and it must be fixed before my dog causes injury or my house is burglarized.

1e7ril | fifthrateship | 1,368,406,365,000 | So, I have a co-worker in this fast food place I work at, and after few months of working with him, we got along together really well. Then I learned that the man is an illegal immigrant from somewhere in Mexico. It was surprising, we share the fact we're both immigrants, but I'm from Korea and my family did it legally for different reasons, so I asked him why it was okay for him to cross over knowing against the law.
In response, he told me: "Once you have a family in a shithole and it's either your kids becoming gang members to eat food or you do anything in your power to make sure your family has a better life, you'll understand."
So, this kind of stumped me, cause he was right. It's easy for us to judge and shit, so what about you redditors?

1ebgbc | peetss | 1,368,544,536,000 | I have already seen a doctor, a physiotherapist many times, and I have an MRI scheduled.
Approximately 8 months ago, I sustained a sudden impact injury while practicing soccer. Twisting to the right while sitting with hips tilted forwards produces a pain in my lower left back near my SI joint. The same pain can also be felt by lifting my left knee past 90 degrees (psoas?). The pain is still with me today however it has never been extremely painful, more of a dull ache.
More recently I have noticed that my left back muscle is visibly inflamed and rises out further than my right back muscle. Also, the vertebrae of my thoracic spine produces very sharp pain when pressed on by my fingertips. This pain can also be reproduced by bending over at the waist and letting the back round. The spine pain is more recent, maybe a month, and it worries me, however my physio says I should not be alarmed.
Other information about me: I have very tight hip flexors (years of sitting at a computer) but I have been stretching them often. When I attempt to squat deep or deep lunge I feel pain in my hip flexors. I should add that none of my symptoms really prevent me from going about my day or even from doing Insanity (currently in my second month of interval training).
My physio knows all the same information that I have just described, all I am really looking for here is a second opinion and whether or not I should halt physical activity.
Back pain is mysterious to me, regardless of how much I research and it seems it is also mysterious to many others who experience very specific symptoms without any relief.

1eeee9 | Rear4ssault | 1,368,644,480,000 | Hi Reddit.
For about a year now I have been going through depression. Depression that sometimes comes back and haunt me but sometimes goes away. I would say the main reason I have been feeling this way is because I don't really have a single good friend. All the ''friends'' that I do have are people that I either don't connect with or people that do not talk to me nearly as much as I would like from a friend. I would love to make new friends but my problem is that I don't know where to look.
I am generally the guy that nobody remembers nor gets cared about. I would greatly prefer to make real life friends and not internet friends. I am a male swede (I don't know if it helps you help me but better with than without that information). I am only 16 years old so I can't go to bars or other 18+ places. I can't meet people at parties either since I don't get invited to them. It would be great if you guys could help me and probably a lot of other people in my situation. Thanks in advance.

1ede23 | Bongfu | 1,368,604,491,000 | I am about change my career and go back to school from Aeronautical Engineering and hoping to focus on Astronautics somewhere down the rode.
I seriously want to shoot for the astronaut program, but I know that it is one of the toughest jobs to get.
Failing that I would want to work towards helping man keep up our presence in space. I just want to know that all of the debt I rack up isn't going to cripple me. I don't have rich parents or a lot of money, so I am relying on loans to carry me through a Masters. | AskReddit | jewish |

1edc9a | TextofReason | 1,368,601,449,000 | These people are obvious reality TV gold.
That they're also obviously batshit crazy won't be a problem, as we all know few reality show producers agonize over the ethics of exploiting people with untreated mental illness.
So who will win the prize? TLC? VH1? MTV? Will there be a bidding war?
I'm leaning toward TLC probably already having secretly swooped them up while the other networks were still fumbling with their phone buttons.

1ed9yl | Abohir | 1,368,598,130,000 | My fiance has gotten herself a bunch of workbooks to improve her English. She keeps asking me to 'teach' her, and is getting very very mad when I am refusing to answer for her.
I feel like I am doing her a disservice if I answer; she needs to become self-sufficient for these things.
The last work problem for her, has a paragraph with a sentence's words jumbled out of order; she is to figure out the correct phrasing of these words.
I ask her to try using the context clues and answer, but all she does is look at me expectantly (for the answer) after throwing out a shot-gun burst of words without reason.
I told her if she wanted to cheat, the book as the answers at the back by the index. haha, that got her mad enough to get up and walk away.
So, I love to help her understand that essays and such in the workbooks. However, I can't seem to find a balance in helping with the workbook questions and answers......help?! D:
**Additional context** She is also preparing her English to take some medical exams in English, as she has her MD done in her home country's native language. | AskReddit | jewish |
1ed8qu | KaseyB | 1,368,596,575,000 | If Someone invents something remarkable that would directly effect a major industry like the auto industry or banking, how would a person give it to the world in a way that would actively prevent anyone or anything from taking it and using it for profit?
Example: An additive for fuel that dramatically increases gas mileage.
Edit: assume the product could be disseminated via the internet and/or easily made at home with common materials. | AskReddit | jewish |
1ed5uj | CDRCRDS | 1,368,593,196,000 | I didn't fully understand the political revelations which implicate the administration as having knowledge that "conservative" groups were targetted by the IRS. It appears like a non event in that previous administrations have done the same.
This is looking like a smoke screen. Like they are tossing the press a bone. But inevitably the administration will primise to do more.
Mike Savage and drudge however seem poised to draw parallel with Nixons watergate but it seems unlikely that Obama gave direct orders in the way Nixon did.
I listen to Savage for entertainment. Its like he's smoked the blunt with the shenannigans in it. Its just ultra paranoid. But as Norman Mailer possits reality and paranoia eventually meet...or something.
Point being the crazier the world gets the more credence paranoid people make sense. Which makes people like mike savage even more ravenous and lonely sounding.

1ecyso | curiocabinet | 1,368,586,685,000 | I'm writing letters to my cousin, who is in basic training right now. Trying to keep it light and funny and interesting. Any tips?
Also, I'm curious from a soldier's perspective: What were the most valuable, cool, memorable letters people wrote to you while you were in basic training or shipped out? Do you become bored with hearing "thank you for your service"? I want to go above and beyond that. | AskReddit | jewish |
1ecsoj | cant_be_pun_seen | 1,368,581,792,000 | My friends getting married. Currently were set up to go to a strip club this saturday, but that feels cliche and like a waste of money. Im sure the girls are hot as hell, but I mean come on, the most youll get is a lap dance that leaves you with blue balls. Just wanted to see what other options there are.
Thoughts? Thanks

1ecm81 | Clausewitz1996 | 1,368,576,612,000 | Right now, the Australian military finds itself repositioning itself from land combat in Iraq and Afghanistan to the Pacific, where China is an ever increasing threat to the status quo of the region. Now then, the Australian government is planning to expand its military, yet cannot ascertain enough domestic volunteers to fill its ranks. So, [they've begun hiring out foreign service members.](http://www.stripes.com/news/serving-down-under-australia-offers-military-jobs-to-us-troops-facing-separation-1.176622) How do you feel about that?
