Been doing "A Picture a Day" for 2010. Anyone else giving this a go? | My rules are just that I have to have taken the photo that day. Not necessarily post it that day. I really think it's helped get me back into photography after feeling pretty lackluster about it at the end of 2009. It forces me to take a picutre - any picture - every day, and in a lot of ways I think that's the bigge... |
Lesbians like sex too, right? I know I'm not the only one. | This post kind of has two different questions that I want to hear answers to from queer girls. I'll start with a little background story on why I'm here right now. Last night, my girlfriend and I were looking for some new ways to get down. We decided to try the good old Google search. We typed in "lesbian sex posit... |
Is there such thing as standardized photography etiquette? | More specifically - How can I get those shots that 'tell a story' involving people/situations/etc without having the story end in me being thought of as being rude? Is there a published set of rules that professionals are often taught in order to learn how to navigate and document the world before them?

How do I go about finding a place to live in Oakland for only 3 months? | I plan on going, in all likelihood, at the end of July, early August, and staying until sometime in November.

Do you believe in some form of reincarnation? | Hi r/atheism! This is just something that I was thinking of today. What about reincarnation? No, I'm not talking about your soul, karma, or hinduism. I mean your body only. Would you go as far to say that once you're dead, buried, rotting, and returning to the earth: the atoms in your cells are being recycled (for new ... |
Reddit Parents I need your advice.. | I am a proud father of a 7 week old baby girl. For the first 6 weeks she has slept in the bed between my wife and I with a sleep positioner.

Is there a stigma associated with joining the army? | I'm a college student that can't afford to continue my education, I don't get enough hours at work and I am unable to attain a loan. I've been considering the army but my friends advise me not to and make comments such as "Joining the military would be a waste of your intelligence." They argue that the military is for... |
I caught my fiancee cheating and got revenge 5 years ago. | So 5 years ago I was engaged at age 21 (bit of a mistake on my part) and found out that my fiancee had been cheating on me. I think she truly felt sorry, so we tried to make the relationship work. After several months, she did it again. Realizing there was a lot more in our relationship going wrong than just this I ... |

To Graphic Designers, or anyone really - I need to find good tri-fold brochure examples, any good sites/links? | At work, was asked to find some nice examples of some professional tri-fold brochures. We have some good graphic designers here. All I am coming across is basic layout ideas or some unappealing examples. Perhaps one of you redditor's has a piece you have made, or can lead me in the right direction. |
Is the Constitution a sacred, infallible document? | Is the Constitution a sacred, infallible document?
I’ve heard a lot of Conservatives and Libertarians lately refer to themselves as “strict Constitutionalists” or refer to a more “Constitutional” form of government.

The Constitution is obviously an awe-inspiring creation, and it has made Amer... |

Incredibly lonely. What to do? | Last week I posted about feeling betrayed by my boyfriend (emotional cheating, etc.). Since then, we've "made up" and things are going well, as far as I can tell... but I feel ever so lonely. Especially days like today where I'm snowed in, all alone, with nothing to do to get my mind off it. I try, and sometimes it'... |

An offbeat, piano-playing singer/songwriter with very unusual lyrics | A guy I used to live with years ago was really into this obscure singer/songwriter/pianist who would sing these whacked-out but socially-aware songs about racism and so on.

I asked him to stop pursuing me and my heart broke as he sobbed on the other end of the line. Please help me stay strong. | The love of my life decided to try to win me back. He broke up with me two months ago and in that time, I met someone who I need to give a real chance to.
All the RA advice I've received (and advice of those physically in my life) as well as what I know I need to do all led to me asking him to please stop. Stop pursu... |
How can I talk about sexual technique with my partner without sounding clinical or critical? | My partner and I have a good sex life, but some fine tuning is required. I can't seem to get her to stop/adjust certain things, using traditional basic bedroom 'instructions' (ie, slower/faster/not so hard/yes/no/etc). She'll adjust herself at the time, but will make the same "mistake" again the next night.

Am I the only one who finds Chatroulette creepy? | I mean I don't want to see other people and don't like them seeing me. It just seems weird. Any why is everyone always smiling in screen caps? I don't smile enough to participate. |
Why does reddit act like cheating on your partner is the worst thing you could ever do to them? Are we all insecure adolescents or something? | I'm not suggesting that you cheat on your partner, but frankly I'm a little disgusted at the way reddit has taken to demonizing people for doing something that is, frankly, pretty damn common.
Getting cheated on sucks (it's happened to me.) But it doesn't mean that the cheater instantly becomes a worthless, lower-th... |

My experiences as an Angband player trying out ADOM for the first time, and my questions about the game. | I've been playing Angband for ten years or so: Vanilla and ToME, mostly. I've never really gotten into the online communities for roguelikes, but it became apparent just from being in nerd culture that it was the Nethack path that was the more popular one. Regardless, I never played Nethack.

Atheism — little more than a semantic game? | It would seem to me that many atheist arguments are predicated on a kind of semantic game. That is to say, many atheist arguments against the nature or existence of God are predicated on Clintonesque misunderstandings or deliberate misinterpretations of terminology: “what is simplicity?” or “what is intelligence?” |
Django: How well does it scale? | I've been reading books and tutorials for about a month, and it looks super cool and easy, but I'm not sure about its functionality when you start to stray from the "default proven paths", I guess the only real way to know is to collide with problems in a real world production environment.
Anyway, anyone cares to shar... |

Alternative reasoning for the Bible's sexual restrictiveness? | I was thinking last night about how the Bible is set up to be restrictive of sexuality. Originally, I believed that it was set up this way not to protect some kind of moral code but rather as a means of controlling people by reversing a base human instinct. Put differently, by teaching people to be ashamed of their n... |
Why is curling even part of Winter Olympics? | I'm Canadian and we are quite good at that "sport".

As a result, she doesn't become horny thinking about other people, or even thinking about me touching her. She finds me attra... |

Some say they almost never fired 3 round burst (mostly marines) and some say they use it all the time and if they could fire full auto they would (mostly Army).

Heavy Rain Demo - Press 'X' not to die boringness or amazing innovation in gaming/virtual story-telling? Discuss... | Just played the demo this weekend - although i can see how many people will dismiss it because the actual game play seemed sluggish and a tad boring - I was absolutely amazed by the visuals and the possibilities this game could bring to the table, could be a break-through in gaming...what do you think? |
Curious about the Orthodox Church | I am curious about the Orthodox church.

I had been doing SS over the summer and gained 8-9 lbs, but I have since shed all gains. My goal weight ... |
DAE smoke cigarettes somewhat regularly but not feel addicted? | I smoke about 5-10 cigarettes a week. I mostly smoke when I drink, and not always by my own decision (my friends will want me to smoke with them). Sometimes I smoke when I'm bored, like when walking to class or something. However, I've gone weeks without it, and I don't feel addicted. I don't doubt that some people hav... |

Reddit, has anyone used Chegg for textbook rental? | I used Chegg for all of my textbooks last year and enjoyed the service of renting instead of buying (not to mention the tree planting for each rental). A girl I know is bitching about how it's a terrible service because she cannot sell the book afterwards and get money back. Apparently, she doesn't understand the conce... |
Reddit, what is this weird high pitch noise I get in one ear every now and then? | It's weird, like a high pitch noise for a few seconds in my right ear. It's not painful, but it almost makes everything in the room quiet when it does it. I'm guessing some form of hearing loss at early stages but I'm young so maybe it's something else. |

I am annoyed with the lack of bug fixes in Visual Studio 2008 and not happy about yet a new version of the IDE instead of a badly needed service pack. | Intellisense ... it fucking stops working all the time. The only common denominator that I can identify is it's always on large projects.

Possible False Flag on Obama to be Blamed on the Truth Movement: This Would Provide them with an Excuse to Round up any American Who is Quietly Deemed "Subversive" by the Establishment. | It's a possibility.

Can somebody clear up some of my misconceptions about aperture? | I don't think I FULLY grasp it, and honestly, I blame Flickr.

I came here just to ask this question, regarding Hurley/Hugo and the events in the new season *spoilers* | I'm not one to normally pick apart a show...but I have a question about the alternate time line scenario after the 'reset'.
