Ladies, do you actually believe using weights will make you huge? | I was recently wondering about this because I've now come across several posts like this in r/fitness where women have said they would like to use weights but won't because they're afraid they'll get 'huge'.
I am genuinely curious about this and it's not just because of these reddit comments. In my own gym the weight... |

I really need some advice about fitness and I have no one to ask. | Dear reddit,
I am a long time lurker but I have never posted before. I am 20 years old, 5'10" and weigh 210 pounds. I used to be fit, play soccer, ran a 5.06 mile. Since my senior year in high school I haven't been exercising at all. I got a job in a kitchen and started smoking which kept everything in check. My job ha... |

DAE think marriage is a bad idea? | Sorry to do this on v-day but I can't help but thinking marriage is the destroyer of most good relationships. I don't even see it as a bond between 2 loving people, it's more like a financial contract to share money. I guess marriage is about religious beliefs for some people, but I'm an Atheist, it's not like the FSM ... |

Your honest prediction - when do you think Marijuana will be legalized in your area? | Eastern Canada here.
I'm thinking some time within 10 years. I was gonna say 5, but I think that's wishful thinking.

Any good gaming moments that involve breaking the fourth wall? | I'm a huge fan of the whole concept of videogames breaking the Fourth Wall for gamers. These moments always brought a memorable chill down my spine when these games directly address the gamer in the midst of such wild fiction.
My question to you guys is, is there any gaming moment you remember in which this wall was ... |

Has anyone ever flashed you? OR have you ever flashed someone? | A few months ago I was driving south on 80 from NY to PA and the passenger in a blue civic or camry to the left of me pressed her naked tits up against the window.

Please help me understand Society without State. Just finished some articles from Rothbard. | I understand that arbitration would be naturally selected as the "court" system for the general populous, however what is to become of those who refuse to abide by the judgment of the arbitration firms?

*Edit: I thought about more than that, because don't you instantly do that with any person of the opposite sex? Sometim... |
To the lady redditors: What is so terrible about having to take the pill every day? | I'm honestly wondering here, I've heard plenty of complaints about having to take the pill *every day*. To me it just doesn't seem like *that* big of an inconvenience, it's one, really tiny pill that takes 2 seconds to swallow, one time a day. I mean it allows you to have unprotected sex and *not* get pregnant, what mo... |
Grammar nazis, can you help me with something? | The difference between "not, if" and "not, unless". I might be wrong about this, but it's really bothering me when people uses "not, ifs" when they really should use "not, unless".
An example is one South Park episode I saw. I think it was Cartman was being a douche about winning, and Wendy was showing everyone how to... |
