Today I found out how painful it is to have an AC130 on Skidrow. | I finally gotten my first AC130 kill streak (without the care package) and damn was I proud. Unfortunately, getting it on Skidrow is the absolute worst map. Ended up, zero kills. It was more painful than child birth.
Is there anything like this that's more painful than childbirth?
Cheers. |

Hi Reddit: Why aren't the executives from companies such as Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan knocked down and killed in the streets of America? | These people are throwing their money (figuratively) in the faces of those who have lost their jobs/houses/livelihoods. I ask this after seeing that Goldman Sachs has this week approved yet another round of bonuses for their executives, with last year being their most profitable year. What do you guys think? I would ha... |

I may have just drank contaminated water, should I be worried? | There was a water main break here, and the campus has received emails telling us to boil our water if we want to drink or clean food with it.

Reddit, where the HELL do you put your towels after you shower? | My wife and I each use two towels and after our showers, they're usually strewn about the room (over doors, a doorknob, perhaps on our fan, etc.).

Hey Reddit, do you hear music in your head? | So I hear music almost constantly. It doesn't 'sound' like music (as in, it's not audio through my ears), but it's almost like a constant narrative in my mind.

How can such a thing as the Objective Truth exist in a world of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, Chaos Theory and Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem? | These are some of the fundamental findings of science, mathematics and logic, so how can people still insist that there are determinate facts and that absolute knowledge is in principle possible?

Mario Kart vs Crash Team Racing: Better? | Been playing Crash Team Racing again via PSN, and I've come to realise: I've always liked CTR more than Mario Kart, and consider it the better of the two.

So, what do you think, Reddit? Mario Kart, or CTR?

Why does reddit seem to dislike the political conservatives/libertarians? (U.S. Politics) | Maybe it's because I'm new here and haven't seen enough front pages to know any better?

Anyone know of a middleware for CouchDB or MongoDB that serves as a proxy filtering unauthorized queries/updates? | I am asking because apparently the view system/query/etc. at least for CouchDB is very rich and functional and the documentation makes it sound as though a middle layer is not even necessary. I could almost pretend this was the case. Only problem is, if we ever have a reasonable amount of users, or one user that is a ... |

Homeopath on popular Canadian TV news network providing weekly crank [alternative] health advice, Wylde on Health | Bryce Wylde H.D., the host of Wylde on Health is a weekly call in TV show on CP24 where "alternative" health advice is provided to viewers/callers. CP24 is 24/7 Toronto news channel. I suspect this alone gives the TV show an air of legitimacy to otherwise unsuspecting viewers.
This homeopathic crank is a continuous st... |
I would love to see a manually sortable 'my reddits'. | My laptop screen res maxes out at 1024x768 which means that many of my subscribed subreddits don't appear at the top, specifically my favorite one: Photography. I believe that a manually sortable 'my reddits' would be very useful in that a user's favorite/frequently visited subreddits could be sorted from left to righ... |
Have you ever been in a place where you can see
the horizon in 360º? | It has to be a solid ground, so the mid of the oceans/seas doesn't count. Sand deserts neither, since there are dunes in there.
I live trapped in a city and sometimes feel a bit claustrophobic, so I'd like to feel the sensation of being in a place with no mountains or hills nor buildings.
As I write this I real... |
Can't get over my ex and not sure if she was ever in love with me... | So basically, I hooked up with a friend and things got way more emotional than intended, even though I don't know her very well at all, at least not for the level she was at. I felt like I was sort of falling for her *as* we were having sex, but apparently this resonated a lot more strongly for her, and she felt the ur... |
Dear Reddit, what should I name my puppy? | My partner and I are getting a male lab puppy soon, but cannot decide on a name. Can you suggest some cute/unique/interesting names? |

My Friend Got The Mrsa Virus. Some Questions | I'm in college, one of my friends just go the mrsa virus in his sinuses today. He had a staph infection last week and got hit with a snowball in his nose and it was all swollen. Heck, we were at the bar with him last night and he seemed kinda out of it so he went to the doctor.
Anyway, I hang out with this kid pretty ... |
AskReddit: UK users, where do you buy your PC components online? | Newegg.com has some great parts at cheap prices, but only deliver to US residents. At the moment I'm leaning towards ebuyer.com, does anyone have any other good sites to check out?
Edit: All good suggestions, lots of bookmarks for future use. After comparing prices from most of the sites I ended up going with ebuyer f... |

Does anyone have any suggestions for plants that could clean the air/make my... |
