ANOTHER job rejection. Have any other Redditors feel cursed as far as job hunting goes? Did you end up "making it" in the end? How? | So this morning I got an email saying that I didn't make it to the next step of interviews. This one especially hurts because it was both something I *wanted* to do and something I think I was qualified to do. I had a great phone interview, I really hit it off with the recruiter... I have no fucking idea how I didn't e... |
Please help, MA student stuck on research for thesis, need a push in the right direction. | Hello fellow economists. For my thesis I'm working on a comparison between mainstream and heterodox methodology (maybe better defined as logic vs intuition) and I have the literature review portion due very soon but I'm having trouble finding appropriate journal-based articles. There's so much I don't know where to sta... |
I'm really at the end of my rope here... | I got laid off from my job on Tuesday and it's taking a huge toll on me psychologically.

How far have you gone/would you go to further a political cause? | Just wondering if anyone regularly escapes the comfortable realm of internet debate and engages in serious political activism? Because I don't. |
Would someone please describe the difference between a high wisdom & low intelligence character vs. a high intelligence & low wisdom character? | Maybe some examples on how each character might react to the same situation? How they go about reasoning things out? The book has descriptions, but they leave me a bit wanting. "Absent minded professor" doesn't quite do it for me.
*Update: Thanks for all the responses! I don't think I've been playing my character... |

Book suggestions for improving cooking skills? | I have very, very minor cooking skills and want to learn how to cook better.

Anyone ever try a "Play by Email" game of Civilizations? I can't seem to figure it out. | It seems simple - take your turn, email the game to a friend and have them take their turn. I've done this before with previous iterations and, while it's a pain to dig up the file every time and email it, the 4-month long Civ 3 game a New York buddy and I played was worth it.

I finally saw "Moon," and think it was the best sci fi movie I've seen in years. If you haven't seen it, rent it. | Sorry if there's already a thread about this film.

Kenneth Star just got appointed to be the president of my University. Can anyone find some good dirt on this guy? | I go to Baylor University and I'm part of this secret society centered on satire.

Most of it isn't super funny and especially crude but it passes the time and I think a lot of the students enjoy it. Just follow... |
Has anyone seen this O-Port device that goes in your sound hole? | I can't decide if this is worth trying or not. Looks like it could be gimmicky, but maybe it's really awesome. It reminds me of a tornavoz that some 19th century guitar makers experimented with.
Any thoughts? Has anyone here seen one or tried one out? |
Best way to check out Mt. Fuji without climbing it? | My wife and I are planning our 2nd trip to Japan this April... one thing on our to-do list is check out Mt. Fuji up close. We're not wanting to climb it... but if there's a town around that has popular hiking trails near it, that is probably more up our alley. Anyone done this? Any helpful advice on where to go or stay... |
Why do we sneeze when we have a cold? | Common wisdom is that sneezing helps us to get "bad stuff out" and that germs are "bad stuff" and that we therefore sneeze to get germs out.
This does not make much sense to me:
1. Germs invade your entire body, not just your respiratory tract.
2. Sneezing helps the pathogen, so it seems more likely that it is an ad... |

Should people who don't believe others should have freedom be allowed to have freedom? | Before you zerg rush the down arrow, hear me out. Everyone believes that they themselves should have freedom. Dictators, one could say, have more freedom than anyone, since they can, within their own borders, do pretty much whatever they want. It's probably safe to say that the reason they became dictators in the firs... |

Allow submissions to have multiple subreddit tags | I was thinking that since a lot of redditors will submit a link to several different subreddits why not allow each link to have multiple subreddit tags say up to 3 subreddit tags.

How many Church leaders KNOW that it's all B.S.? | I guess there's the school of thought that a lie is most convincing if you actually believe it. But that being said I'm sure many of the top echelon leaders of the catholic church understand they are selling a lie. I would love to hear speculation or any knowledge that would indicate that they know it's not true. |

The accelerometer just randomly either works perfectly half the time or doesn't work at all half the time. Rebooting doesn't do anything as far as I can tell.
