Help! How did you hack your mind to make it do what it's told? | I am a smart guy, but I have awful study habits. I tend to pick things up quickly and do good work, though it's almost always late and never as good as it could have been.

Hey reddit, how do you know if you're addicted to the internet? | My father is always accusing me of "living in a fantasy world", because I spend A LOT of time on the computer. He thinks I'm addicted & I'll admit, I probably spend too much time on it, but not enough that I feel I'm addicted.

What're the best volunteer organizations out there? | Ok, so long story short, I had a near-spiritual experience tonight where I realized that my purpose in life was to help those whom society forgets.

Of friends... (A depressed, ranty, advice asking thing) | So I have been thinking about this. And I am growing more depressed by the day. I may not have friends much longer. I have never been good with people. Not since I started school. I didn't make my first friend until 6th grade. (I mean someone who tolerated my presence and seemed to like me). I know a lot of people say ... |
Just wanted to say I really hope this works | I've played EVE before, and the sandbox nature plus the complexity and the look of the game really attracted me, but I never found a corp that I could get into. That's the only reason I never stuck around. Now I'm hoping Dreddit will inject some fun into this bitch, Ya-na-meen?
Anyways, I've had a couple of beers, so ... |

/r/MATH, I was hoping you could make it clear how this works? | I came upon this link on college humor. Basically it takes a square of original area 64 units square, and breaks it into 4 parts and reorients them to make a rectangle that appears to have a area of 65 units square using the usual Length x Width formula.

When we first met, Kenzie referred to our meeting as a date. So far we have had four meetings, the mos... |
Boyfriend is annoyed that I'm trying to drop a lot of weight to have smaller breasts. | Basic summary: I'm really stacked and sick of it. I want to be able to buy bras at Target, not at specialty stores, and play sports comfortably, and not tailor all of my shirts, etc.
Since I'm in the middle of my healthy weight range, I'm trying to get down to the lower end to see if that'll cut down on the breast siz... |
An observation on religion I've made after working with troubled youth for a while - Also, congrats to my workplace for having the guts to remove the word "Christian" from it's name and also congrats to my community for not making a fuss about it. | So I've been working with troubled youth for about 8 years now. For the sake of privacy, this place used to be called "[Someplace] Christian Homes". Not too long ago, the organization decided to drop the Christian from it's name because they realized religion had nothing to do with the help they were providing childr... |
Electronic Cigarettes: Are they bad? If so, how bad? (On a scale from occasionally eating bacon to occasionally drinking bleach) | Sorry for the throwaway account.

How do companies keep their secret ingredient a secret? | If I worked for a factory and I knew the secret ingredient, but was bound to some non-disclousure agreement, I would wait until I was on my deathbed and say "Oh, by the way the secret ingredient to coke is...), you'd think someone with a feud would have done that by now.

If I wanted morons and their opinions I'd go to a bar... | At least they would generally have the excuse of being drunk. But frankly, reddit seems to be highly vain, ignorant, repugnant WANNABE intellectuals, rather than actually thinking, sentient beings. Why is this?

I never do this when given the option; Mass Effect is literally the only time. I think maybe I was put off the the super-generic look of the male Shepard on the boxart, although I knew I could change his look. Or maybe I was just curious to try ... |
In my opinion, if the Democrats would have passed health care reform with reconciliation last August, they would be no worse off (and probably a bit better off) in the approval ratings category than they are now. | By letting the sausage making of health care reform go on for this long, they have given Rush and Fox News the best gift of all: the ability to take free sucker punches on the Democrats over HCR for the better part of a year. This also enables the lame narrative "Obama is focusing on health care reform at the expense o... |

Christian churches in Canada fading out: USA next? | Canada has become a "post-Christian society" where Anglicanism has "moved to the margins of public life," according to a bleak new study. Similarly, theAmerican Religious Identification Survey's three studies also see drift out of denominations to generic Christian self-description or no religious identity. Will church... |
Look at this treasure I got in my inbox [scam death threat] | Spam I got in my e-mail inbox today. Do you think anyone would fall for this? Anyone else has gotten something similar?
Edit: On a side note they can't do math either.

How do you protect your home from intruders? | My wife and I recently bought our first house, and we have a one year old little girl. Last night we heard someone try to open our garage. My reaction was to turn the flood lights on, wait a minute, and then go investigate. We live in a densely packed neighborhood with houses on all sides, so it could have just been a ... |
New Jersey Nets.... wow they're bad. | I'm not much of an NBA fan, but wow, the Nets are perhaps the worst team in professional sports. Of course playing at home in front of 1016 fans probably doesnt help much. |
What are some non traditional ways to learn a foreign language? | I have never been good at memorizing parts of speech, verb forms, diagramming sentences etc. Vocabulary. Even in middle school I was in the group of kids who needed extra lessons in grammar. The so "grammar retards" as my teacher called us.
I have tried to take foreign language classes but I never seem to excel. I ... |
How do/did you torment your siblings over the years? | As a kid I used to beat up on my little brother, steal his toys and knock down whatever he built. In high school my poor sister was known as little John and if I saw her before she saw me she would usually be tossed (albeit lightly) into whatever locker was nearby. I was a jerk but loved every minute! Nowadays we are a... |
My little sister is being cyberbullied and I need some advice. | I won't go into details about the whole incident but my sister is a senior in high school and is being cyberbullied. A girl that was supposedly her friend has been posting on Facebook and MySpace that my sister is "knocked up" and the girl's boyfriend has sent text messages to her phone threatening her. Is there a wa... |
Does /r/linux need an equivalent of /r/programming's /r/coding? | So a while back /r/coding was made because certain users of /r/programming were fed up of the non-programming questions that are constantly cluttering up the main page of /r/programming.
Personally I find /r/linux to be mostly full of "How do I do this" or "Help me fix common problem X" type posts, which aren't _alwa... |
Why do you suppose bass is always buried in the mix? | I've taken up playing the bass recently (I already play guitar and drums) and so I've started being more attentive to the bass lines in my listening; however, I've found this to be rather difficult. It seems the bass all too often gets buried in the mix. Certain genres are more guilty of this than others, the type of m... |
Eucalyptus Honey used in Mead | I have heard that you can't use Eucalyptus Honey when making mead, but then when poking around on google I have seen some people have made mead with it.
I'd ideally want to make Joe's Ancient Orange Mead (for the first time), just wondering if it'd be possible to use Eucalyptus Honey as I have neighbour whom produces ... |
