Losing your mind: What have minds done for us lately? | Previously
What has all our talk and study of minds done for us? Squat.
If you hit someone, they'll likely hit you back. We know that.
Many of the experts who study these things will tell you that hitting someone angers their mind and that this anger will likely cause them to hit you back. Oh, that explains it.

What's up with Leonardo DiCaprio? According to IMDB, he's got more than 30 movies in the pipe. | He was great many years ago in *What's Eating Gilbert Grape*, but then after that, I wasn't too impressed with his work. I liked Titanic, but I thought he was just okay. I guess I had him pegged as a sort of pretty boy actor from the Keanu Reeves single-character school. Then I was sort of impressed despite myself b... |

Reddit, can you help me out? Looking for a good immersive/atmospheric game to play. | I'm tired of non-stop action in my games, things happening at breakneck speed requiring you to react, react, and react. I'm tired of running through levels, racking up kills-per-minute, and if you stop, discovering that there's nothing to see or do except continue the rampage. I'm sick of the "story" games where you l... |
Anyone know where to find cheap, low storage flash drives in bulk? | I've been trying to find flash drives of low storage (say, 128-256 mb) for a project-essentially, just enough space for putting a Word/text document on for simple distribution.

Reddit, does anyone else think that 99% of stories in games are terrible - even the praised ones? | Does anyone else that video games need to have better writing?
Bioshock. Metal Gear Solid. Final Fantasy. Kingdom Hearts. God of War. Half-Life. Mass Effect. Gears of War. These are all games that have, at some point, been praised for their storyline. But am I alone in thinking that the stories in these games suck? Am... |

I basically hav... |
Reddit, after watching the Stewart and OReilly interview I am thinking we should focus on the promotion of logic and not any agenda. A logic party. | It seems like so many arguments thrown about in the media are very clearly flawed. How many times do debaters asign a stance to their opponent on then address is, or cherry pick a fact as evidence for a trend. These are clearly errors in logical thinking which can be addressed. I understand confirmation bias plays a ro... |
Feature Suggestion: Disable thumbnails for the NSFW tags on the frontpage. Some of us don't subscribe to NSFW subreddits for a reason, and nude thumbnails on the top of the reddit.com frontpage shouldn't happen | Obviously the link I am referring to is the mythbusters one, secured at the number one spot today, with a graphic thumbnail to accompany it.
At home, I really wouldn't care. But at work I do.

Thanks in advance! |
Reddit, how do you cycle through your music collection without getting stuck in a rut? | With my iPod being about ten times smaller than my library, I tend to forget about lots of great albums.
Besides iTunes' Genius, are there any eccentric techniques you've developed to keep things fresh? |
How many of you guys saw Avatar while high? | I did, and it was probably one of the most memorable moviegoing experiences I've ever had.
Now, I'm one of those people where a bad plot or bad writing can kill a movie for me. Even mediocre writing will sour it, no matter how crazy the visuals are. But seeing this movie in 3D in that state made me completely forget... |
Anyone using Indamixx for production or any other Linux OS/software? | I was just reading about Indamixx, but I think its rather new and I'm only moderately experienced with more expensive, commercial software. Any thoughts? |
How long do you really think it'll be before Marijuana is legalized in the United States? | I'm 21... I just wanna know if I will be able to enjoy this sweet freedom sometime in my youth.

Things *will* get better. Trust me. | A couple years ago, my depression took a massive dive, and I battled with suicide attempts and multiple hospitalizations for almost a year. It was not pleasant, and I know how much it can suck right now.

I swear I’m going to snap and really let it go at someone today. How do you calm yourself at work? | It seems that I cannot walk through this place without hearing hilarious people make Matt Lucas quotes at me.

Hello Indian Redditors: Where can I find rules and regulations (safety, hygiene, taxes,...) governing the catering industry in India (and in Karnataka more precisely) | I am French and I might have found a management job in Bangalore with a company running several restaurants.

Ever seen anyone offering 5-HTP or other aids at an event? Why not? | Thinking about how, at least at the types of events where one is apt to find things such as E or other substances with a heavy impact on the brain, there is not more sensible aid and outreach. Maybe this does happen and I have never seen it, but it is puzzling. The guy following behind the dude with the rolls would sta... |

I was driving into work this morning, thinking about the economic mess my state is in and got to thinking about individual state currencies. I can't remember if there was a law passed that explicitly bans them, can anyone here help me out? | As said in the title: I was pondering the economic troubles of New York and remembered something briefly mentioned in my 7th grade history class about states having currencies of their own in the early days of the union.

Hey r/anime, help me figure out the name of this weird anime I saw | The plot was that people would die and sometimes get this opportunity by this cube thing to go into the world of the living and kill alien creatures who somehow had made their way onto Earth.

Overview of world religions for children | I would like a book giving an overview of all world religions, to look at with my kids. What do people recommend?

What is your favorite non-food smell? | This morning I suddenly decided that, while not my favorite, the smell of fresh saline inside the little foil-sealed containers my disposable contacts come out of is quite pleasant.

Question about teleporters | I came across something the other night I didn't think was possible- an engineer wrenched my sappers on his teleporter entrance, yet he was no where in site. Could he have destroyed the sappers by smacking his teleporter exit from the other end?

American redditors! How many of you knew that Europe is larger than the United States? | I keep seeing comments where american redditors say that europeans have no sense of how big the US is because "in Europe the distances are so much smaller."

In the era of Netflix, it's immoral to pirate movies. Discuss. | Here's my opinion: We have the distribution system we deserve. It's cheap ($8.99 a month), fair, and allows us to watch films that would not be profitable with any other means of distribution. Yet people continue to pirate films anyway, and for what reason? I think it's greed. |

We've discussed our favorite and least favorite movies, but what is the most disturbing/disgusting movie you've ever seen? | I'm going with John Waters' Pink Flamingos. Rape, long floppy penises, incest, eating dog shit, and so much more...it's all there. Throughout the entire film, I was thinking "I shouldn't be watching this." Disturbing.
What movie made you feel this way? |
My friend is building a "man cave" and has asked me for advice on what artwork to put in it... | A friend of mine is putting together what he hopes will be a classy and sophisticated "man cave" (though if you ask me, I think he's looking for decor more along the lines of a man-study, think polar bear rugs, pipes, fireplaces, bulldogs). He wants to know some "manly" paintings to get prints of to hang in this room.... |
Anyone been in a long-term relationship through most of college? What happened when you graduated? What are some of reddit's stories about this? | Sometime next year I'll be facing graduation, and making decisions about how to take into account a 4 year relationship when making choices about gradschool and the future

What do you think of "The Satanic Verses"? | Started reading it last night. It's not rocket appliances, but the first couple of pages were so pedantic that they put my right to sleep. Is it worth continuing? Is the story good or is the dialog just supposed to be artistically awesome or something? I say thankya. |
How do threads gets on the frontpage? | Is it just by plenty of upvoting or do the commenters/readers have to do something else |
Who else feels like concurrency issues are like being punched in the face by an invisible man? | :-)

Dear Reddit: I think I got ED. How do I tell a girl I fancy? | So, this is obviously embarrassing. I met this girl last week in a pub, we had some drinks, we danced, I kissed her on the dance floor and eventually got to her place. Everything was going well, we were messing around and having fun, we undressed each other. And then it struck me. I almost instantaneously lost my erect... |
