Questions about novel structure.
I'm in the editing stage of my science fiction book right now, and I'm trying to garner information on overall structure, among other things. I realized just now that my first act is longer then the traditional act distribution. I read that the first and third acts should be approximately 25% each, with the middle act...
Dear reddit, do you find that some things are a turn on in porn but not so much in real life?
I quite like deep throat porn... tried it in real life, and not so much. She was keen but ultimately she wasn't able to. I'm especially curious to hear back from the guys/gals who are into fetish porn. BE HONEST!
Can r/books help complete the greatest Amazon cart of all-time?
Hello folks, Long story short: I was given a $150 Amazon card by my beloved mother because books in English are hard as fuck to find in Japan if you don't live in a major city and my birthday is upcoming. (I mean major: my city of ~300,000 does not carry English books) Shipping costs are roughly $50 on a $100 order....
How much fake technology surrounds us?
So, first I've realized from some post (can't recall, it was some time ago) that there are fake traffic light buttons (or how do you call them). Then I've learnt that there are fake close door elevator buttons from here]( And then [this tells me that there are fake thermostats in some office buildings. Really, WTF? I...
I remember when I was younger hearing about "Dr. Death" Jack Kevorkian, and thinking what an evil dark man. Well now after having to see what my Grandfather had to go through before he passed. I believe it's time we had a rational discussion on euthanasia.
My 86 yr. old Grandfather had a massive stroke 2 weeks ago, after suffering through ten+ years of Alzheimer's. After he had the stroke he was completely incapacitated unable to swallow food or liquids however was able breath on his own. At this point families can make 1 of 2 decisions. Feed and hydrate intravenously, w...
What if Congress declares a war the President won't execute?
I do not care about political party here. I am simply trying to figure out what would happen if Congress, using their power of war, declared a war that the President, as executive-in-chief, refused to execute. I guess that Congress, in this case, could impeach the President. Please chime in with your thoughts on thi...
Just watched FOX's "Past Life" and I am furious [NSFW--language]
I am so fucking sick of all of these life-after-death awful pop media things -- "The Lovely Bones," "Pushing Daisies," "Dead Like Me" -- that perpetuate some insidious horseshit about the eternal soul. "Past Life" is by far the worst I've seen, but "The Lovely Bones" trailer is a close second, and I haven't seen the...
Ask Homebrewing: Where do you get your hops?
I know most of us probably get hops online from Northernbrewer.com or freshops.com or similar, but do any of you guys buy local hops from a farmers market or something like that? If so, have you noticed any differences between using these fresh hops vs processes pellets? How are the prices for local hops?
How you answer if your boss asks you to program in a language that you don't know and in a field that I've never programmed in?
In my job, sometimes I'm being ask if I could write a single, "strange" program in a language that I don't know and in a field that I've never programmed in. I don't what to refuse or I don't what to say that I cannot to this, so I always answer: NO PROBLEM, BUT THIS WILL TAKE TIME. Than I explain that it would take e....
should I ask for closure and how?
Revealed that I had feelings for a girl I've known for 5 months and now she's not talking to me and just ignoring me. It had been obvious that I had feelings for her for months now and when I finally said it out, she just said nothing. I've also asked her out for a date many times, she has some social anxiety and has r...
I work for a recreational basketball league, I'm the guy who makes everything show up on the scoreboard. Ask Me Anything.
This is my weekend job, I am thirteen years old, and a freshman in high school. I control the time of the game, help substitute players in and out of the game, keep track of possession and fouls, and put the points on the board. I have to go to work at 12:00 EST, but I will try and answer all questions until then, and ...
What's with potentially good SciFi series, with horribly annoying characters?
I started watching the Sarah Connor Chronicles and made it through a couple of seasons, until Thomas Dekker (John Connor) completely ruined it for me. He came off as a completely annoying emo-kid. Of course, this seemed like a rare occurence. Then I started watching V, the 2009 series. Again, another horrible actor,...
Pre-authorized credit card billing
Ok, so I may or may not have signed up to a free 3 day trial service from a cookie website. They give you videos of cookies free for 3 days before billing your credit card for stupid amounts of money. Of course, they need your credit card information to verify that you're over 18 (cookies are not for little children). ...
So, are you going to be alone this Valentines' Day?
This one is for all those who find themselves alone this Valentines' Day, hence the throwaway. How do you feel when everyone will be hanging out with their loved ones this Valentines' Day, but there's no one for you to even speak to? What is it like to have only reddit posts and the intertubes for company this Februa...
AskReddit: Did your parent(s) ever blame you for their own problems?
This is something I'm dealing with. Like I would do totally normal things as a kid and my mother would constantly call me crazy and try to get me sent to psychiatrists and the mental hospital, sometimes forcibly. At the same time she did everything deliberately wrong in her life from self-criticism. Did any of your ...
Dear AppleReddit: Need boot help. I kinda jacked up my new MacBook Pro.
Okay, so I decided to try and use BootCamp and install Win7RC (Build 7100) on a 40gig partition on my base model 13" MBP. I used BootCamp Assistant to create the 40gig partition and proceeded to install Win7. Win7 said it couldn't install on the BC partition because of incorrect formatting, so I told the installer to ...
[7]You can greatly increase bong efficiency by poking holes in your pipe screen.
I don't know if most people know this or not, but I just discovered it. If you take a pin or thumb tack and poke a few small holes in the bottom of the gunked up pipe screen you can get way more smoke through and get much higher.
Quick question about OOP and Ruby
I have just started learning Ruby. Most of the coding I have done has been in procedural type of languages. I am writing a program that takes an old IBM Cobol data file which has been dumped to a flat ASCII binary file and converting it into a MySQL table. I have written the first program and basically it reads in t...
Western world goes deeper into moral darkness: honour killings! "But let’s look at Emma Watson for a moment"
**FULL Of SHIT ARTICLE HERE.** It's beyond me how you can mash-up the unbelievable story of a young girl dying a horrible death being buried alive, and pretentious ranting about a Hollywood starlet. One of the most WTF things I've read recently, and this is due to its implications on the way we've come to look at ext...
The breast feeding of Culture Dog.
I had a dream: I was hovering above the corner of an outside deck that looked as if it were part of a luxurious home. In the corner sat a male dwarf in a cushioned chair that appeared to be built specially for him. He had an open Bible on his lap. Across from him was an interviewer speaking in a British accent who I ...
Facebook and Twitter are filled with retards. I'm sorry that I had to say it.
How come every person loses their ability to spell and use proper grammar when they're using these sites? Friends who have PhDs also seem to turn into retarded ducks with keyboards. How hard is it to type normally if you have a full QWERTY keypad in front of you? Why does every comment contain 'LOL' even if the subje...
Suggestion: highlight unreplied messages to moderators in a separate color
Usually content we haven't seen/responded to has a grey background, but I think it would be helpful to highlight those messages which have not got a single reply from a mod in a different color. Clarification - when a message is responded to by at least mod, the problem is usually solved - the most critical messages a...
IAmA volunteer police officer (Special Constable) in London's Metropolitan Police Service. AMAA.
I've been doing this for more than two years now, racking up more than 1200 hours of unpaid time as a volunteer police officer. I work in a busy London borough that is well known for the amount of violent crime carried out there. I'll try to answer any (well, most!) questions I can about the police in London.
Hey Gaming/r/, What is your favorite/best control scheme? [PC]
I was thinking that Mass Effect had the closest to what suits me. Camera controls were good, free mouse pointer. With the exception of no 1st person view, I'd say it was almost perfect. Oh, but combat controls sucked. Is there any game that has definitively "got it right"
Convince me to (not?) buy Mount and Blade.
As with most weekend deals, the time investment is exponentially higher than the monetary one. So do I need to play this? It seems like the type of game with a cult fanbase that wants to convert some skeptics. I like open world games in the sense of well-crafted worlds like Morrowind, but not games like Prototype wh...
Apparently, my uterus decided to celebrate Valentine's Day in its own special way, just as I'm planning to go away for the weekend. Halp, 2XC!
So my super sweet BF and I are going out of town to celebrate Valentine's Day today and tomorrow. We are staying in a hotel, and according to him he's got a "sexy surprise" up his sleeve. We were planning a night of marathon lovin' tonight, until my body decided to throw a wrench in the works. Much to my chagrin, I we...
How on earth do I get this file to delete without doing a full system restore?
I realise that to a lot of people this will seem far too simple, but I really am stuck. I downloaded a bittorrent of an application; when I went to install, Norton flagged a trojan horse, so I disallowed the install (you know the administrator permission box that flashes up on Vista), and Norton merrily removed the th...
Can Reddit recommend a site/forum for soliciting a fantasy painting commission?
I have been looking to commission an epic painting of myself (fantasy themed) for some time but don't know where to start. Do I email people on deviantART to see if they would be interested in the job or are you aware of some other forum where this type of requisition is better received? Ideally, I would like a talen...
Dear Media, please stop showing the video of Nodar Kumaritashvili crashing. Its just not okay.
Dear Media, please stop showing the video of Nodar Kumaritashvili crashing into a pole. It is a terribly tragic story and the entire world is sad and aware of it and forcing us to watch this poor guy crash into a pole over and over again is just wrong. What say we have a little class here, folks.
DAE get so tired of the smug posturing of the Law & Order lawyers/investigators that they hope just once they will lose?
I am not talking about the rare case where they don't get the outcome in just the way they wanted, but a devastating loss. The kind where they hang it up and we see them in a stained t-shirt and boxers in an apartment full of old pizza boxes, and whiskey bottles. McCoy, you are first.

By request: I am a 26-year old unmarried guy with no children. I had a vasectomy yesterday. AMA.
I think there's been a thread or two like this before, but when I mentioned that I was having one done elsewhere, somebody said I should do an AMA afterwards. So, here goes.
Ladies of Reddit, I need date ideas
My boyfriend and I have been together for about nine months now. We're both in our 20's. He's a great guy and I love him very much but we can never think of anything to do on the weekend. As much fun as I have cruising Reddit every Friday and Saturday night sometimes I just want to do something different. We both tried...
Reddit: In honor (or dishonor, for some of us) of Valentine's Day, what are the biggest love lessons you've learned?
For me: Friends make the best relationships. Don't try to make someone fall for you. Love is easy. You don't have to try. If you're not happy, say so. Don't prolong something you know isn't working because you don't want to hurt the other person. The toughest one for me to learn was the second one. I tried my harde...
Is there hope for a guy with a small penis?
There are a lot of guys into small breasts but are there any women into small penises? Inquiring mind wants to know! Seriously, a "friend" of mine is worried that he'll never be able to satisfy any woman or even be able to find a mate because of it. He has zero self confidence due to being born a certain way so I dec...
Help, reddit: "Seven Jewish Children" is a ten minute play about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The play has been called brilliant, evil and anti-semitic. What do you think?
I need your thoughts, reddit. I'm thinking about producing this piece, but this seems like the kind of topic that reddit would love to debate over and give some insight. Here's the play to read (pdf): Seven Jewish Children And here's a video of a performance to watch: Seven Jewish Children Video The play will t...
[TOMT] A (classic rock?) song that goes like this...
The na's are actually sung as na's, and I think this melody repeats several times while the song fades out. It is _not_ "You've Really Got A Hold On Me"; that's the song that reminded me of this other song, which I can't identify. Halp! **Got it: It's "Loving Touching Squeezing" by Journey.**
I'm curious; why would one not like Steam?
I mean I've had it for about 4 years now and only own two games (TF2 and CS1.6) but haven't had any issues with it. I usually do buy my games from a store until recently I've weighed the options of Steam to be a very beneficial system. However, one thing that has been sticking in my mind is there has to be some downs...
Has Obama actually done anything to limit lobbying in the US?
I was having a debate with a friend last night, I'm not an American, but I follow American politics pretty closely. He was saying that Obama has done nothing to limit lobbying and in fact seems to support the expansion of it. I've read a few articles that seem to say he has done some things in relation to lobbying bu...
So I bought a spare xbox 360 Arcade on a Black Friday deal...
At the time I was thinking I could use it in a spare bedroom, and at $100 it was a deal too good to pass up. But now that I factor in the cost of the wifi adapter and a hard drive its just not worth it to have a 360 available as a backup in case the big TV is being used. Does reddit have any suggestions for how I can...
I'm terribly unfit. I can barely run a mile, yet my target is to run a marathon. Where do I start?
I haven't run for a long time. But when I did, I found it quite difficult. After a while I find it difficult to breathe without slowing to a walk. Sometimes I end up getting a metallic taste in my mouth. It tastes like blood but my spit remains clear. I used to live about 6.5 miles from work. So when I walked there an...
Valentine's Day is around the corner. What's the creepiest thing someone has done to get your attention?
I was talking with my friend last night, and she said she has this guy who is stalking her (though, I didn't get the feeling as he was seriously invading her privacy, but just dropping by at her work and such.) and leaving her presents. I found this to be slightly creepy, and was wondering if you had any stories of som...
Any bands or styles you are a bit ashamed to like after meeting their fanbase?
That's it, you come across this new cool sounding band in the radio or the Internet and love it... Then you go to a concert only to find yourself surrounded by this new kind of human being that makes you wonder how is it possible that there's a single thing in the world that links you with them.
Are there any guys on reddit who aren't enamored by jewelry?
I grew up in a fairly conservative household in which my parents did not wear jewelry with the exception of my father who owned a gold watch and wore it on Sundays. I led a very sheltered life so I never had an affinity for materialism. When I was younger my brothers and I pitched in for some earrings for mothers day a...

Whats with everyone asking me to start a business with them?
Seriously, out of the 10 people that actually answered me, 8 of them wanted me to start a business with them. On another note, can you put some sort of notification system in to see when you get a new message. Like the way Omegle has the two underscores move up and down when you get a message. Otherwise well done, t...
My Friend thinks his new rig is better than mine. I need you guys to prove him wrong.
No matter how much proof I show him on my own means he just ignores it. But if he saw a bunch of redditer comments saying so, he might just come to his sences. So here are the specs: Mine: i5 750 Quadcore 2.66 ghz cpu 8mb cache BFG GeForce gtx 260 1024mb gpu 4gb of ddr3 1600 His: i3 540 dual core 3.06 ghz cpu 4mb cac...
Pictures of my boyfriend kissing his ex on facebook
Hey girls. Tell me what you think. My boyfriend (we've been together for 5 months) has pictures kissing his ex-girlfriend on facebook. I really don't mind pictures of her generally, she was part of his life and I accept that. But pictures of just the two of them kissing? Isn't that going a bit too far? **Thanks everyo...
Is infinity quantifiable? If it is, can we compare different infinities?
I guess I can best explain this with an example: Suppose you have two lines, one 10 cm long, the other only 3 cm long. We know that they both have an infinite number of points. But don't you reason that the 10 cm line has more points and thus its infinity is greater? Or am I wrong in that assumption and both have t...
Only the zip code is needed to verify credit card purchases, why do so many webpages make you enter your entire address?
Obviously, if they're shipping something to you then they need your shipping address but for purely online purchases, 95% of the time they still make you enter in the entire address anyway. What's the point of this? It seems completely unnecessary.
Can Reddit help me come up with a good name for my sister's new Kombucha (fermented tea) company?
My sister is starting a Kombucha company but is having a bit of trouble coming up with a name. I told her Reddit could probably come up with something pretty clever. Any ideas? Thanks.
American Science Education -- or lack thereof
You know, I listen to the pundits make noise about how we must better our education in math and the sciences. And then I listen to them (well, maybe not the same ones) yammer on about teaching Intelligent Design in Biology. And I just laugh and think that they've gotten exactly the society / civilization (or lack the...
Where do you get your cables?
I'm getting ready to order some instrument cables/patch cables, and was wondering if there was a better source than the typical sweetwater, zzsounds, musiciansfriend sites.
Macbook fan has stopped running, laptop now runs at high temperatures/shuts down if pressed too hard
My laptop shut down twice last night, which was new behaviour for it, and I have now figured out that this entire time I was expecting the loud whir of fans to cool it down, (running around 75-80c) yet they haven't run at all. My iStat confirms this. Is there any way I can fix this here from home, as I need this lapto...
I bring up birth control and pregnancy, girlfriend freaks out. I just want an outside view on this.
So late during the winter break we had a paranoid episode where she missed a period. We never had sex, but this didn't stop us from freaking out over it. So now I'm really really anxious after this. I just can't seem to shake the idea that something might go wrong, even with the fact that we never do anything past fi...
What is the best PS3 headset for my money?
I know just regular usb headsets work, but I'm going to use it specifically for my PS3. Preferably cheap, but I would pay a little more if it meant the difference between quality and shit.
Anyone think we should start a Reddit photography school, kinda like /r/CarlHProgramming?
(I'm not offering to do it, I'm no expert). I think this would be really cool if anyone (or any group of people) could set something up - plus it could keep some of us hobbyists busy. Instead of just tutorials online or small guides we could do actual step-by-step lessons involving everyone actually going out and ...
Embarrassed to be Canadian after the Olympic Opening ceremony.
Most of what we do is mediocre, but this was just horrible. Using my taxes for that garbage, it makes me sick. No wonder we are the but of jokes. Freekin' Neckbeard makes me want to punch something.
I don't know if it exists, but if so, I want to find it. I'm looking for a website that will send a letter to my loved ones if I die unexpectedly.
Recently, I have had a couple of near death experiences. I wanted something with this functionality before, but now I think it's even more important: I want to find a website that will, in the event that I do not periodically verify that I am still alive, send a pre-written e-mail to several specified addresses. Does a...
My girlfriend lost her wallet and phone with just about every important document in her wallet. What can we do?
My girlfriend and I were out for dinner last night, when we got into a fight and I walked out. We had met an old couple at the restaurant while dining. She said she wandered around a bit afterwards, and met up with them outside the restaurant. Apparently she was dropped off elsewhere by the old couple after I had left....
Another hangover must-know recipe, chickpeas with chorizo. No need to go outside, people.
The requisites I put for my hangover dishes: * Healthy, and earthy. I need nourishment and I feel guilty enough about the last whisky. * Must be easy to do, I'm not in the mood for thinking. * Must be done from what I can stock in the pantry or freezer, I'm not going outside. * To use few pots and pans is a plus.

Dear Reddit, what would it take to make being educated, informed and interested in the world cool among the young?
I mean, seriously. When I see young adults on TV or or YouTube, they seem totally unabashed about their staggering ignorance and ineloquence. Many seem positively proud of just how shallow and uninformed they are. But put them in the wrong kind of shoes, or catch them listening to the wrong kind of music, and they'd pr...

Best of Pride Fighting on Spike is Very Disappointing.
I hadn't watched it until last night, so my only basis is 2 shows, but the selection of fights was horrible. Shogun vs Shoji? Crocop vs Minowa? Ryan Gracie vs Hamanaka? Rampage vs Satake? Rickson vs who gives a shit? Who picks these fights? They were mostly boring, one sided fights that had 0 meaning or impact. ...
Is solar a false environmental savior?
Has anyone really done a full life cycle assessment on active solar?

A fix I discovered for crashing on map change.
I have multi-core rendering enabled which means I had the dreaded crash-on-map-change problem.

What ended up fixing my crashing was lowering my textures from the hidden ultra-high setting to the in-game recommen...

I walked out into my front yard this morning to discover that the tailgate had been stolen off my truck. HAE had random parts stolen off their cars?
I halfway expected shit like this to happen when I had my old Mercedes (hood ornament), but not with my bland off-white Chevy Truck. Not sure what exactly happened, but I basically walked outside today to find out my tailgate had disappeared. Police said someone has been stealing tailgates around town for a while. HA a...

Reddit: does anyone here have a bad past experience with Aspartame and did quitting make you feel better?
I am a diabetic and so I drink diet soda. The problem is that I drink a LOT, sometimes 3 or 4 litres of Diet Pepsi a day. I know this can't be good, even if aspartame is relatively safe. I've seen how it is blamed for everything and I certainly don't really believe that, but diabetes/metabolic syndrome is one of the t...
Why do people think that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be what MW2 should have been?
Let's not forget that EA was the spearheader in "pay more to win" business strategies, especially in the Battlefield series, where players would buy add-ons to get overpowered weapons (as we all know EA tried to pull the same crap again in BC1). EA's rep for ripping people off has always been known, so why are we ignor...
Does anyone have a good summary of Tannenbaum's Modern Operating Systems?
I totally forgot how thick the book is and I have an exam on monday (Yes I know its a bit late to start learning, but my week was fucked up). So the course was almost completely based on this book, so does anyone have a quick summary of the most important points? edit: the Tanenbaum in the title got an "n" to much..
DAE look at fashion magazines just for all the pretty pictures?
Who reads this crap... Who cares why Reese Witherspoon put gardenia in her new scent? Not I. Pretty pictures on the other hand... :)
/r/Fitness: Is there a high-energy diet that ISN'T excessively carb based?
I have a very high metabolism, and generally feel the best when I eat, 4-5 carb based meals a day. I think my body just demands a lot of fuel to burn. The problem is that as I understand it, anything past 150 carbs/day is excessive. Any alternative, high energy diets/food that will help keep me energetic now and helthy...
I need advice. I have made mistakes and need help in how to move on.
I moved to a smallish city 60,000 people about 6 years ago. I was living from a very painful place as I have been all my life. I have always been arrogant and self important and drink fuelled, although I do/did have a lighter side. Now the problem is in the last few years I have upset a few people: 1. I was tricked ...

DAE not like "The Hurt Locker" as much as Critics did?
I just don't get it! I've heard so many of my friends and online critics say this was one of the most intense movies they'd ever seen. I just enjoyed the movie and moved on. It didnt leave anything on me. Now its getting so much Oscar buzz like being nominated for Best Picture!! PS I didnt think that sniper battle was...

Anyone know where to find a video of Norm MacDonald telling his moth joke?
Fairly recently Norm told a joke about a moth on Conan, but I can't find it online anywhere. All the places that should have it were hosting either hulu or nbc videos, which have been removed.
Help with formulas (again)? (Not sure if it's algebra or calculus)
I had asked previously with some help on some formulas. I got some great help with one, but for the other one, I don't think I explained it well. What I'm not sure how to do (not sure if just algebra or calculus): I need to find a way to find the "best" ratio of (height:radius) that I can put into a formula. Best wo...
