Graduated, Jobless, & Bored; How can I improve my life while I wait this out... | Hey Reddit, my best buds of all...
I recently graduated University (BA in English & Philosophy) but I simply can not find a job in my town. It is not through laze or lack of effort, it's just that there are simply not many jobs around at the moment.
Now it's not too bad... I have a little bit of money so I'm OK w... |

I don't understand, who watches The Bachelor and believes/enjoys it? | My mom and her bf are sitting downstairs right now watching this mindless drivel.

Dear Foodit: I'm halfway through Food, Inc...and I'm so disgusted that I don't even want to eat anything anymore. What the FUCK are we doing to ourselves?!? | Seriously. I grew up poor but we had a garden and multiple animals. We ate *FAR* better than I do now...and I make so much more. Even with farmers' markets, I still eat more crap than when I was a poor kid living in the middle of nowhere.
Again: what the FUCK are we doing to ourselves?!? |
Redditors: What do you think are the best iphone games? | As a PC gamer, I've never been able to really get into games on a mobile platform, are there any in particular I should check out? |
Why doesn't the USA use Bullpup style rifles? | It seems to me like bullpup style rifles should be the standard. With the magazine in the stock of the gun, the size can be so much shorter, with the same barrel length.
To me the only drawback seems to be that it would take longer to reload because of the extra time it takes to move your support hand back into posit... |
Man, the black 'copters are out in full force in Vancouver tonight | This is really something else.
Edit: no joke, I've heard them overhead, nonstop, for the past, say, four hours. It really is a very strange feeling to know that your general neighbourhood is under constant surveillance. And we're just getting started. |

Dear UK Redditors - I'm traveling your way for the first time, and would love some advice/tips/ideas. | I'm traveling to visit my expatriate girlfriend in London for two weeks at the beginning of April. I've been avoiding putting together any kind of itinerary, hoping to kind of make it up as I go along.

Good offline maps for android? | Are their any good offline maps for android. I'm keen to buy a magic (which seems like the best value for money right now). However I'm worried that google maps will suck all my data. Data is really expensive in my country and no all areas have 3g.
Not to mention if I ever go outside a network area I like to have my m... |
DAE wish that someone would invent a online common app for job applications? | It was so cool when you could fill out one form and apply to all different colleges, now whenever you want to apply for a job you have to fill out the same info on each company's proprietary system and site. I'm trying to help my brother get a job and its taking forever! |
Anyone up for an astrophotography/astronomy night? (weather permitting) | I bought a telescope yesterday and whilst there's a lot of things to see even in my light-polluted backyard, I want to take it out to some darker skies and learn a bit more about visual astronomy.

Help me figure out this movie from my childhood! | I vaguely remember this movie being the most badass movie to me as a kid. I know for sure I saw this before 1996, so it has to be a movie that came out prior to this time. The problem is I can only remember one scene in the movie and it kind of has been bugging me for years. If you guys could just give me random sho... |
Midway USA ripoff for shipping? | I went to order a $25 shooting mat for an upcoming Appleseed... go to checkout (a very long process given the very slow webserving!) to find out it is another $14 for shipping and then another $3 special charge for extra handling/large box. WTF!!! Perhaps I have been spoiled by Amazon/Newegg shipping. So I "save" $25 ... |
Women & divorce in early 1800's, from the intro to the new Emma on Masterpiece (maybe this is what certain redditors have in mind...) | Watching the last episode of the new Emma, & this intro caught my eye... perhaps this is what just a few redditors out there had in mind when complaining about today's family court system!

At one point, I need to ask: how much rice is unhealthy? | I'm eating rice pretty much every day now, thanks to my new rice cooker. It's easy, quick and very thrifty which is important for me right now.

IAmA Naval Officer who had to counsel a sailor after gay porn was found on his computer. AMA | The thread about being a Naval Midshipmen and the one about getting fired for watching porn made me think of this event, from a while ago.

Maybe it's people saying they'll help and then not following through, maybe it... |
IAmA Body Shop Manager, ask me anything. | I have managed a body shop for 2 years and have worked in one for four.

DAE Wish that Facebook would make their text field system simpler? | For example, when I try to edit what I said to somebody (spelling error or redundancy, etc) I need to delete it and re-send it to the person. They don't have an edit option that I know of.

Why do many women find it acceptable to destroy the personal property of their (ex)boyfriend if angered? | My apologies if this comes across as sexist. Not my intention.

Is anyone slightly concerned about Khamenei's warning? | Granted, it's unlikely that anything major will happen.

We need to clarify something - When Pres. Obama says "Lobbyists are powerful," what he means, and should be said, is Senators and Congressmen get bought off | During President Obama's SOTU speech and also his Republican townhall that following Friday, he mentioned that we've never been so close to health care reform, and that we've made progress in the past but that lobbyists "got in the way."
