I have a question about the upcoming Focus on the Family Super Bowl ad about Tim Tebow. See inside for actual question.
I'm presuming that a large portion of /r/Christianity fall into the category normally referred to as Pro-Life. I'm also pro-life (as I don't promote killing people), but in addition I am pro-choice. For the remainder of this statement, I will refer to the Pro-Life group as Anti-Choice. I apologize if this offends an...
Can someone give me a cheaper alternative to satellite internet?
I live out in the middle of nowhere. I am forced to use and iphone for internet and that is amazingly slow because I don't receive 3G or a consistent EDGE signal. I was looking at this product I found on google called Proxicast but I'm looking for 3G speeds. Austin ( approx. 50 miles) has 3G and I believe Killeen (appr...
What would you ask when considering buying a restaurant?
I've always wanted to own a pizza place ever since I managed two of them in highschool/college. I have a completely unrelated job now, but there is a very small chance that some big things may fall into place and I could end up owning one. It's like two blocks from my house and if I could get it for the right price the...
Redditors in NYC: I need your assistance. More inside.
I am currently training for the NYC Half Marathon in March 21 with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. I'm doing it for personal reasons (friend whose 19yo cousin passed away in November after a long struggle with Lymphoma, a best friend whose mom got diagnosed a month ago with B-Cell Lymphoma, etc)....
I just heard an ad for a "Ending marijuana addiction" pill. WTF?
WTF is that shit. I'm going to make a pill that instantly kills your addiction to cheese. "Are you struggling with your cheese addiction?" "Don't give up hope; Ceddartox is for you!"
I'm finally ready to buy a new console. Should I get an xbox 360 or a PS3, and which variant?
I *do* own a Wii that I purchased when they first came out, and it's great, but I've been wanting to purchase a real next-gen console for four years now, and I think it's time. The problem is that I'm a PC guy. I stopped paying attention to consoles back in 2006, and I haven't even picked up a 360 or PS3 controller fo...
Ask Proggit: basic sentiment analysis techniques?
I would like to do get started on some basic sentiment analysis on a decent amount of data. I have seen techniques using keywords like <good, like, awesome> to categorize as positive and <sucks, worst, bad> to categorize as negative and putting everything else neutral. While relatively easy to implement, ...
My brother is starting an online reselling business. What do I need to know?
I'm being tasked with making the site, which is going to require a lot of research, but that's not the focus. What do you have to do to have a legit business? What's recommended? What's legal? Which is the best online shopping cart system to use? Any advice, Reddit?
Must homework be abolished?
I would like to know how every child and adult (mainly chidren) feel about homework and what exactly they mean by the task: whether it's challenging and worth pondering upon or just copying and pasting from the internet or any other source. Frankly and sadly, the second scenario's usually the case at our school. I am q...
My wife named her two feral foster kittens Norman and Mother. Help?
Apt names, they're totally insane, especially Mother. Just abject fear of people. The approach so far has been to only offer food while we are around, and move the food closer incrementally until they eat out of our hand. Any tips from anyone who's tried to tame a feral kitten?
Should I root my Nexus One
I have no experience doing so. Im not stupid and I can get around in terminal so i don't think it will be too hard. Anyone know a good guide, the only one I saw explicitly said not for beginners
Help! Nothing really seems to work.
So here is my deal, I am a girl, 26 - I have always been quite active (soccer, broomball, baseball, boxing, rollerblading martial arts) but for some reason I am unable to drop my weight below 165 - 170 lbs. I am around 5'6 and go to the gym 5-6 times per week, I run 2-5km per day (I alternate between 2-5km runs every o...
What does a side kick to the face look like???? you ask
well it would most likely look like a kick in the side of a head. Hope I made you a little mad.
A question about acceptance of science for the religously inclined...
Why do religious groups find it necessary to try and find scientific facts that purportedly support any number of religious claims? As I understand it, religion is a faith based practice. Faith is a belief and complete trust in something that isn't tangible. Faith is not something based on the logical infrastructure de...
Can Reddit recommend any post-apocalyptic anime?
I've seen Evangelion, Gilgamesh, RahXephon, and a few others I can't name off the top of my head. Can anyone point me to some worthy post-apocalypse anime?
My girlfriend is depressed and has severe life issues and I want to help her but don't know how.
I am posting this under a throwaway account for anonymity because I use my username everywhere. I will try to describe all of her problems without writing a book. For years now my girlfriend has felt life is pointless which comes out more depending on whats going on. I would say shes depressed but when I tell her thi...
Do I inherit a responsibility for the other? If so, how far does that responsibility extend?
To give some context, I’ve been engaged in discussion with ISO members for a few months. Communism/Marxism/socialism rejects the notion of inheriting property, money, or capital in general, but a different assumption is made when it comes to responsibility for the other. It seems that because I was born in the USA t...
DAE get frustrated by people who think they are clever when they're actually very lame?
I have a family member who is about 2 years younger than me and thinks that his intellect and sense of humor is more "hip" than mines. I don't hate him or anything, it just annoys me when he makes current events jokes that are really lame. His friends which are his age laugh at his status updates all the time. The reas...
Question about what I can do with LightBox
I have a website I'm working on for a marketing firm. They wanted to use lightbox for their portfolio. The issue is they want video and mp3s to play in this light box. The page would look like but would play videos or mp3s when the thumbs are clicked. Has anybody seen any good solutions to this? **EDIT** *Thanks f...
Gay Marriages have nothing to do with God. Or do they?
From what I understand of marriage, it was originally intended to signify the union between a man, a woman, *and God*. However, for most people today it simply represents a declaration of the love between two people (supported by a contract allowing the couple certain legal rights). So what is all the fuss about gay m...

Foreign Language Course Study Tips?
I'm taking a foreign language course in college, and I find it a bit of a struggle to keep current. I put in a lot of time, but have real trouble committing the vocabulary to memory. Flash cards just don't seem to get the job done. Are there any tips or tricks you've used to make this a bit easier? It's a relatively u...

If you had the chance to leave earth forever...
With a peaceful group of aliens, and they told you they would show you the universe and all the secrets of existance, would you leave behind everything you know and everything you love on earth? Would you leave humanity for the ultimate form of knowledge?
A jackass is moving in my room and I need him out! What are the best pranks I can pull to get his ass out of there?
I am in college and recently my current roommate decided to switch rooms. The problem is the new guy coming in, Jay, is really annoying and I hate him. The worst part about all of this... they never even told me. He is moving in tonight and I can't force him out. So I need to make him leave by his own will, even if I h...
I love soup, its cheap and you usually don't need a recipe and it will usually be OK!
The last random soup creation I made contained 2 leeks, a few sweet potatoes, some vegetable stock, garlic, salt, pepper and basil to taste. Cooked it all until it was soft and blended it up. What are your no recipe soup creations?
I miss the old Domino's Pizza!!!
Here's the thing. When I'm in the mood to eat pizza, I like to eat a lot of pizza. Domino's was perfect because each piece wasn't too filling. I could easily eat 1/2 - 3/4 of a large. Also, I loved the taste of it! Their pepperoni was so oily that when it was cooked the pepperoni oil would cover the pizza making i...
What obscure performer do you find sexy?
If you think Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox is hot, yeah, well, so do a ton of other people. Who do you find really attractive that's a little more on the obscure side? Back in the day when I'd watch Wings I thought Farrah Forke, who played Alex Lambert, was very hot. I can't find any pictures of her that do her justic...
Ask F1: Anyone else find it rather odd that Michael is still wearing his Ferrari red helmet in Valencia?
I mean, he's had time to have a new one made, no? Or is that going to be his new helmet for the rest of the year? EDIT: See Jimbo's post below. Apparently, the red helmet is history.
[TOMT] A strange movie situated in a huge mall [Movie]
No, it's not Dawn of the Dead :). It was a rather artsy, quirky movie. The characters lived in the mall and there was a rather claustrophobic atmosphere. The colors were strange, somewhat saturated. There was a gloomy guy who worked in an office and in one scene staples some signs on himself and bleeds a bit. The same ...
Haiti says child-trafficking accused could get US trial
Personally, I think they should be tried in Haiti and have the book thrown at them. Kidnapping and trafficking children is illegal and morally wrong, no matter what the excuse or reason, not to have a "soft" trial in the States, just look at the US reaction to Amanda Knox's trial.
Is there anywhere that teaches being a survivalist as part of a high school curriculum? Or is that mainly a scouting thing?
Fixed Wouldn't it be a good idea that instead of taking gym for a year students could opt to learn how to camp, fish, trap, hunt and gather things that would aid in personal suvival? I see this as better information than playing rollerhockey and I like rollerhockey.

Hey Reddit, the copy machine near my computer makes a really loud banging noise? Whats a funny sign I could hang on it to explain the noise?
When the copy machine warms up it makes three or four loud bangs. Its a crappy machine thats always breaking down. I thought of putting a sign that says "Disregard noise. Alarm used to awaken the deaf dwarf typist inside". Whats something funnier that I would be able to put up there? Thanks
I ran the one of the first large-scale HTTP game piracy networks. AMAA.
First, I would like to say, that despite that I have now reformed and am not involved in any piracy, I do not want to reveal any details about the sites I ran. However, if a moderator would like proof that I am who I say I am, I'll happily provide it. I ran a huge piracy network for games. This was before the days of ...
Providing my n900 with my laptop's internet connection - any help?
Hi maemit, Wondering if anyone knows how I can connect my n900 to my laptop's internet connection in ubuntu? I've tried ad-hoc wireless, but this seems extremely flaky and I've no idea how to debug it — is this possible using either bluetooth or a usb connection? Any advice would be great Thanks
Reddit, help me figure out the most efficient way to shovel my oddly-shaped driveway!
So, we got a whole bunch of snow last night and it kind of sucks to shovel it. I have an oddly-shaped driveway and shoveling it can be a difficult endeavor. Here is an approximation of how the driveway looks. Here it is with a grid for easier description. I frequently shovel from C1 to C4 (down the middle) and then ...
Why are so many people upset that the President nixed another manned mission to the moon? If we went there multiple times 40 years ago... Why go back?
I mean, if theres basically nothing up there but dust and rocks, what do we Need to go back for? And why the hell did we spend so much on a Space Station if we are going to nix the space shuttles that can get us there?
“Recycling” old engagement ring… Being economical or an undeserving douche?
Long story short, I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years back in May 2009 due to extreme pressure from her and her family. Well, it didn't work out for obvious reasons because I wasn't ready to marry her and I finally grew the balls to end the relationship that was never going to go any further. Dick-headed move on m...
So LBGT has disappeared from all my Reddit lists again. What's up?
This is the second time in recent weeks I've noticed this... I went to submit a link and discovered that LGBT was not in the list of "popular choices" for submitting a link. LGBT is also missing from my "My Reddits" dropdown menu, and it's missing from the list of reddits across the top of each page. Does anyone know...
DAE hate it when you go to a fastfood joint and they manage to fuck up your order?
Just went to Burger King. Normally I check the contents of the bag if it's to go, this time I was lazy and didn't check. I did however, ask the girl if she checked the contents of my bag, she said emphatically: YES!. Upon arriving at my kingdom, I opened the bag with a kind of anxious feeling. I was appalled, angry and...
Dear reddit, I received my first job offer today and I have some questions...
So after 6 months out of college, countless applications and resumes, I finally got a job offer today.

So the job is for a radiation health scientist (I was a physics major) and it is a...

To start off, my two house-mates and I all recently got our MMJ licenses, and we've set up a community grow-space inside the house that's plenty large to accommodate the small number of plants we're growing. We've begun collecting the clones we're after, and I've been warned by an acquaintance that having any firearm ...
Fuck the troops? No, fuck you!
Over the past couple of weeks I've seen multiple groups on Facebook saying fuck the troops, they don't deserve respect etc etc. After reading about their little mission statements I want to do terrible terrible things to the people who made them. First off the US is not in Iraq to kill civilians I have no military trai...

A Serious Man — Go See It.
No excuses anymore guys. The latests Coen Brothers' movie is quite fantastic. This Best Picture nod should open up its release a bit more. Go see it.
Reddit, what's the best office prank you've pulled off?
My favorite was hiding a 'CK One' scented air freshener under a coworkers desk. For weeks he went on and on asking everyone if they were wearing cologne or perfume (he was the only person not in on it). We all said we couldn't smell it, even though we could, it was just really strong at his desk. Finally after a few we...
Now that we have ourselves a name, we need to make some changes in order to have ourselves seen as a serious party. What we need is a new logo.
No matter how much I like the raptor logo we have going for us, I realized that what we really need now is a logo that can be taken seriously. What it would be, I don't know yet (perhaps a white star, simple i know, but hey i'm no designer), the more artistically inclined of you should go for it. But there are a few th...
DAE grow pubic hair on the shaft of their penis?
Does anyone else grow pubic hair on the shaft of their penis? I'm not talking a little bit at the base. I'm talking about an inch or more in length and substantial forest density half way up the shaft. Some even sprouts from as high as just below the tip, although not nearly as dense. I keep it "manscaped" so it's ...
The supreme court ruling misunderstands free speech as the same as funded speech. Allow free speech but not spending on advertising. The difference is that money talks a lot louder in our society.
Re: Supreme court ruling on free speech by corporations Since it's money that gets messages heard in our society you aren't infringing on free speech by stopping advertising for political purposes by corporations. This is essentially putting money into politics. Now if someone wants to sell a message (in the form of a...

Question for UK food redditors ( or anyone else who'd like to chip in for that matter )
This may sound a little crazy but: Has anybody else in the UK noticed that supermarket bought onions no longer make you cry when you're chopping them? To me they're no longer the same strength or flavour as they used to be, it's like they've been dumbed down. Or is it just me?

Hey Reddit, I'm thinking about studying abroad next semester (preferably somewhere in Europe). Any suggestions for locations/schools?
I'm currently in my Junior year at the University of Massachusetts, studying Physics. I'm considering taking the first semester of my Senior year in a European country.

Why aren't Marlboro, Camel, etc. lobbying heavily for legalized cannabis?
They seem like they stand to benefit the most, having all the facilities and business models necessary. It would just be a "new strain."
I think the military has ulterior motives for lifting "don't ask, don't tell."
I don't think either Mike Mullen or Bob Gates actually wants gays in the military. My belief is that they are having trouble recruiting from schools which ban them from interviewing on campus for violating their hiring discrimination standards. The JAG Corps., for example, cannot interview at most top law schools bec...
Hi Reddit! It's my birthday, what should I do?

Why are guys naturally good at fighting?
In high school I had my first group of friends that contained boys. Occasionally they would get in play fights with each other. By that I mean no major injuries.

Hey Reddit, what do you do in New York City?
This is my first year living here and I was just wondering if you knew of any awesome places to eat, fun places to go, trees to climb, anything of the sort. I for one would recommend Crif Dogs to anyone who has not been. Go there and get the "Spicy Redneck," you won't regret it.

Aussie redditors: Where did this explosion of censorship come from? From way over here it seemed to come from nowhere.
I've been halfheartedly following what appears to be an explosion of censorship in Australia, the internet filtering, blacklists, etc. Where is all of this coming from?

Should there be a legislated punishment for lying in a public setting?
I realize it would be **extremely** difficult to organize/enforce, but it would be nice to see some type of formal censure/punishment of public figures who misrepresent themselves for personal/political gain. a simple, but significant, monetary fine similar to what the NBA does would work

Strings for Takamine G330s
Just scored a clean Takamine G330s of craigs for $120. This is a HECK of an upgrade over my Fender DG10. I finally decided I dislike D'addario light SP80/20's on the 10, and am happy with coated Elixers. Wish I'd figured that out a year ago. What strings would you recommend for the new Takamine?

Where the heck do you get a micro-SIM for the iPad? Apple's got your back...
For me the mention that the iPad uses a Micro-SIM was the first I'd heard about that SIM format. Clearly, based on many media reports about micro-SIMS that people are considering shaving down regular sims in order to be able to use an iPad right out of the gate. This is understandable because nobody in the US uses...
