The medic can be a thankless job. | It seems like it happens all to often recently. Working as a medic together with several uber-friendly classes (demo, pyro, etc.), besieged by the enemy team, just next to their last control point, with 95% charge. The charge hits 99%, and just as you push right-mouse to pop and unleashed hell on the last stronghold... |
Where online can I buy cheap/good cable and electronic parts? | I already know of and adore monoprice for anything prefab. However, I'm in the midst of building a new effects board for my guitar rig, and I need to make some custom length audio cables to hook everything up.

Alright reddit, you've been great at helping me remember obscure video game titles before...this one's for the Mac 10-20 years ago | It was a Mac game, could've been for the PC as well. Top-down on-foot shooter where you controlled some...dude and shot guys with various crazy guns. Maybe you were an army guy? Someone tough. He was more like a Rambo figure, I think. You moved around a large-ish map, it wasn't fast paced at all because I think you co... |
See how the Children of God love one another at Mardi Gras. | It's Mardi Gras season. That usually means parades, partying, drinking, and a bit of nudity all in good fun. While it has religious, specifically Catholic, roots it's really more of a Louisiana culture thing at this point where everyone comes together and has too good a time. That's why it this particular float, but is... |
Who here uses drugs in a controlled and calculated manner, rather than a purely recreational one? | Ambiguous title, I know. What I mean by this is I rarely just wanna do drugs. I use them to butter my way through life. For example, I teach swimming lessons for 5 hours every Sunday in a freezing pool with screaming kids. So to counter this I have a low-dosage of poppy pods every Sunday (and ONLY Sunday). This ke... |
Reddit, can you you help me stop some scammers and protect marc emery's good name? | Sadly, I've recently fallen victim to a scam online. The website is www.medicalseeds.com they claim to sell pot seeds, mushroom kits, and even clones. I placed an order with them about a month ago, giving my credit card info by email. They told me to expect my package within 2 weeks.
The big tip-off for me was that on... |
Reddit, I am beginning to question my personal usage of marijuana as "abuse". Your thoughts? Advice? | Background...I use marijuana on a daily basis, sometimes getting high three or more times in a single day. When my girlfriend and I are bored we tend to resort to pot. Many mornings I'll decide that I have no intention on getting high today, but by the time I get off work it is usually on my to do list. Should I be con... |
Using Fallacious Arguments as Characterization | A lot of the time, my protagonists have the Wisest Buddha of All symptom: before conflict can stir personal motivation, they close out the issue because they (as an extension of myself) know everything.
Fallacies are a poor arguments that people resort to so they can win conflicts.

Reddit: I'm a professional photographer interested in shooting portraits of fellow Redditors in the Los Angeles area. Anyone game? | I'd like to do a series of formal portraits of Redditors in the Los Angeles area.

Dear Android users of reddit, how does Japanese/Chinese input compare to iPhone? | I have an iPhone but am considering to switch to a Nexus or some other Android phone.
The nice thing about the iPhone (and most apple products) is that it uses the same software for all releases around the world, meaning that I get great Japanese and Chinese input on my non-japanese iPhone.

Dear reddit, what do you think about peer review? Does it filter out bad science, or does it just determine what's acceptable to the scientific community? | I read a quote from Richard Horton, the editor of the Lancet medical journal, that got me thinking...
"The mistake, of course, is to have thought that peer review was any more than a crude means of discovering the acceptability — not the validity — of a new finding. Editors and scientists alike insist on the pivotal i... |

How important your K/D ratio is to you? Victories/losses? General performance in online games? | Dear Reddit, these past couple of days I been playing Bad Company 2 and I noticed that I am no longer having fun anymore. I am taking it too seriously.

Thank you /r/atheism for helping me keep my sanity | I'm surrounded by fundamentalist Christians and feel totally unable to voice my own opinions.

Thank you for existing. |

Soooo, on saturday night, she kind of hinted that we should do something on Valentine's Day. I couldn't say no, so I did my best to not actually say yes without saying no, if you know what I mean. Anyways, we had s... |
Reddit's interview with Chomsky is fundamentally pointless | RE:
Hear me out here - I know you all love Chomsky, but step back from your admiration for him a second and just look at the modus operandi for selecting the questions.

Reddit, can you recommend some inspirational speeches? | Reddit, I am going to make it a point to watch at lease one inspirational speech once every month. This is the video I just got done watching. It's an old one from Steve Jobs, but it speaks volumes. So Reddit, what are some of your inspirational speeches? |
I'm considering a server transfer and need some advice. | I just came back after a more than 2 year hiatus. I raided pretty heavily in Vanilla, and at the start of BC. Now that I'm back, my old guild has fallen apart, and no one I know still plays on my old server (Mug'thol). So I've decided I want to look into a server transfer to something in the Boston data-center (because... |
When the 2.1 OTA Droid update drops, what happens to those with Sholes? | I first just want to say thanks to r/android for raving about how awesome Sholes is. It's like owning a new phone after you get it over clocked.
So what happens when ever Verizon decides to push the update OTA?
Thanks, |
So I am buying a Handgun for my 21st... Continued. | Thanks for the advice concerning safes. It was much appreciated.
Now I am looking at guns, and deciding which one to buy. The gun will be for target practice. At this point I am not thinking about CCW or home defense. With that and price in mind, I am looking at a .22 caliber semi-automatic pistol. I went to a shooti... |

Looking for a co-op PC RPG. Any awesome games out there, Reddit? | Hey, three friends and I have been looking for a good co-op RPG to play together online. The four of us spread across the US after college, and we're looking for a good game to work through together online. We're not really looking for an MMO. DnD elements would a plus. Can you think of anything fun to play? |
I am a marathon bachelor (18 years, eleven months, two weeks, with no sign of stopping). AMA. | I am almost nineteen years old (I'll be turning 19 at the end of the month). I've never been in a relationship with a woman (or man, not that one interests me). I've never kissed a girl (or man, not that I'm interested). I'm not overweight, or even ugly. I'm just socially awkward... The floor is open to you guys. |
Have you ever had a good friend who just suddenly moved out one day without saying anything and you never heard from him again? | I have been friends with him for around 6 months. Close. We played squash together, we played computer games, he hung out in bars and met women. Over this last month I saw him less, needing to focus on getting a job and because we were hanging out too much - it was a bit distracting / stressful. He was over here fro... |

Hey Reddit, I made a survey for Redditors - its part of a social science research project investigating how Reddit works... all the data, and a report detailing my analyses, will be publicly available. | The survey is here.
I've made it because I'm conducting some research which involves Reddit - and it'd be very interesting to find out a bit more about the people who use Reddit.
The survey itself is partially inspired by surveys I've seen on Reddit in the last week or so - I've re-used some of the questions but the... |

Anybody else notice the X-Men trilogy is basically like LGBT people with superpowers instead of sexuality? | Especially the second movie.

Anyone else wish Google would pay more attention to their desktop software? | I use both Google Desktop and Google Talk regularly, but Google hasn't issued any significant updates to either in years. They did launch Google Talk 'Labs Edition' a while ago, but even that seems to have been abandoned.
Why can't Google just opensource them (even partially), since they've obviously lost interest? |
Linux has come a long way! Non-techie ready. | I've been playing with and using Linux going back to the Red Hat 5.x days. I'm a fan of Linux, but have to be realistic in what non-techie people can do. Non-techies really have to use a GUI and never use a CLI. I don't use Linux daily myself and the CLI is a pain in the ass. I have to say at this point that Linux ... |

Who is your favorite among the Four Horsemen? Mine is Hitchens because I think he is the most rhetorically gifted and fiercest debater | Mine is Hitchens because I think he is the most rhetorically gifted and fiercest debater.

Redditors, if you are of average, or below average height, why do you hate us ABOVE average height people so much? We didnt make you the height you are. Why do you have to be so dick-ish to us? | It is something we cannot control. Just like someone cant control being born deaf, blind, white, black, etc.

How many r/atheism Redditors also hang out in r/consipracy? | If you do, are you a believer or there for entertainment?
It seems to me that the skepticism that leads to atheism is incompatible with fervent belief in conspiracy. This is not an original theory, but I was reminded of it when I was browsing around Reddit.
Edit: clarity. |
