IAm like Dexter, without the killing part. AmA. | I think this is best way to describe it, since most of you know Dexter.
I don't feel anything (emotion-wise), and never have. I put on fake emotions just to fit in with the rest of the crowd.
I haven't killed anybody and wouldn't do so. So maybe on that part Dexter was a wrong example.
I have learned how to react in ... |
(Discussion) Reddit: in Space! | Very few corporations seem to have originated outside of EVE. Most corporations start out with a core of veterans with common goals, and grow organically from there.

The fact that my girlfriend has been ridden more than Seattle Slew is not irrelevant. | I'm 26, male. I've been with my girlfriend for just over a year now. We have a serious and very good relationship. We are in love and communicate very well on most matters, but I am very troubled by the fact that she has slept with more people than me. I'm not just talking one or two more people. She has had sex w... |

Queues for the immigration office in Galway | I learned last night that my (American) flatmate was having to get up at 4am this morning to get to the immigration office in Galway for 4.30 in order to be seen *at all* today.

Okay, it's been two days now since I had a submission pass the spam filter of Reddit. And I'm sure as fucking pissed right now as the next guy who posts another one of this bullshit. Come on, Reddit, are you trying to censor me? | Damn. Damn. Damn.

When I lurked Reddit for the past few months, I came across a few posts ranting about this very same thing. I couldn't sympathise with them then because I thought the spam filter was a-okay. Sparklingly clean and perfectly executed. I never realised how wrong I was.

Do you use the Jon747 Youtube channel to watch Starcraft? You should read this, then. | Jon747 (aka Baezzi), like the majority of Koreans, has always gotten his VODs from a Korean source called oskyloveo.

Hey Reddit, why would my cell phone company send me to collections without contacting me? They have my PHONE NUMBER! | A few years ago I ran into an issue with Verizon. My new employer paid my cell phone bill as a benefit, so they got the bills--only, they neglected to pay one month, and because Verizon still considered me their customer, *I* got sent to collections.
The first thing the collections agency did was call me. On my Veri... |
Disturbing trend of late... | I'm not sure this wasn't always prevalent, but recently it is becoming very difficult to have any kind of discussion without getting down voted for being devil's advocate or having an opposing opinion (regardless of how well articulated it may be).

This is my friend (more of an acquaintance really) Carly. She is Autistic and has found a way to communicate. | Carly Fleischman was featured on some news shows a few years back in response to her beginning to type out her thoughts one key at a time. She is now on Twitter and Facebook.

Geeks, what are your favorite sites for hardware reviews etc.? | The other day I was in the market for a printer. My company had bought me a non-network-aware HP-all-in-wonder, and after dicking around with CUPS and Samba for an entire weekend to get scanning to work over the network, I just said, fuck it, I'll just get a new one that will plug into the router and away we go.

"Drinkability" means suitable for safe drinking. It is NOT a sign of a good beer, it isn't even a beer term. | Whenever I bring this up, most people argue that they know drinkability is a silly term, and it doesn't mean anything to them in terms of the beer they buy, yet Bud Light completely dominates all other beer in domestic sales. Anyone who thinks they're buying this beer for the taste is retarded; it's watered down, overp... |

Dear Reddit, I actually like Mary Jane and will be voting for anyone who legalizes her. | Here's why: It's our SM-givin-right to get stoned, and it's about time some one takes this issue to hand and brings it to a positive end.
tl;dr;I plan on voting for anyone who legalizes pot because it is my strong belief that the War On Drugs is the main cause of our economic and social problems, through out the entir... |
Ask Libertarian: Increasing competition among utility companies (natural monopolies)? | One of the reasons I believe the Internet is slow in the US is due to ISP monopolies. Because of the special nature of utility companies, government regulation is often suggested.
How could competition be encouraged? Should airwaves be less regulated? Is more government regulation the only way to deal with natural mon... |
What are the little things you keep forgetting? | For me, it's that `gcc foo.c -lbar` is not the same as `gcc -lbar foo.c`. I don't do much C these days, so I'll spend a minute scratching my head and wondering why my code isn't linking, then I'll `man gcc`, kick myself and fix it. |
Hey, /r/Music, what are the weirdest songs you know? | I love hearing really weird songs, wether they sound weird, have weird lyrics, or even weird history. Here are some songs I know of:

Reddit, I need your advice : Am I broken? | I’m 25, have been with the same girl for 3 years, and I just can’t be bothered with sex any more. I still masturbate with reasonable regularity, so it is not like I am completely dysfunctional; it is just I find making sweet love more effort than it is worth. Relations are good with my lady; it is just I find that I wo... |

Has anyone had a chance to test with the new Jace? | Everyone's saying he's awesome, but I haven't found any in-depth analysis of how good he is in a real game. You guys have any info for me? |
I love snow days. I do. But why couldn't this be Thursday. Or Friday. Or Tuesday. Or Monday. [Today was already an "off day" for me.] | I have off every Wednesday from life. It's great. No college classes and no work. It's awesome to have that off day in the middle of the week.
But fuckin New York City is going through a god damn "snowpocalypse" today. So instead of me enjoying my day off sleeping in, videogaming, jamming out to music and essentially... |
Should women have to register for the draft? | As a guy, when I turned 18, I was required by law to register for selective service / the draft. This post probably belongs in /r/equality, but I have a hunch that the responses there would be too predictable, so I was wondering how the women here felt about requiring women as well as men to register for the draft. |
