"Hi all,\n\nI am an American student who will be studying at the University of Helsinki starting in the fall.\n\nI need to find a place to live. I will be working primarily on the Viikii campus. However, I would like to live near the center of Helsinki so as to be close to the nightlife and social scene. I will only be making about 1000€ per month, which must also cover food, so I wish to minimize housing costs.\n\nI am looking for student housing, but would also like to search the private market.

It's obvious that people are upset and that they feel as though they've been fucked over by in some way or another, but I believe that the people's movement we're seeing in this country is too easily defined by the media as being liberal or left leaning. One way to combat this could be to embrace the idea of shifting these protests towards an anti-war movement. In the United States it seems as though \"supporting our troops\" is the one issue that everyone is required to subscribe to; so why not play up the strengths of this mentality? It seems like it would be political/media suicide to slander people who only wanted to bring soldiers home from overseas. This is just an idea. I'm curious to see what other people's thoughts are on this."

Reddit, how did you keep the will to continue doing well in high school?

"I'm a junior in high school in the US, and at this point school is getting old. I see myself as a hard worker worker when I feel the need to get something done, but after 11 years of being treated like an animal by my teachers while they whine about how much they have to grade, I've lost a lot of my will to continue getting mostly A's.\n\nI'm well aware of the fact that I need that seemingly pointless math class in order to get a good job, whether I actually end up using that math in the job or not. But that doesn't change the fact that I no longer have the will to continue doing well in school. Beyond math, my 11th year of English class makes it seem like my teachers doubt my ability to fluently read, write, and speak my native language.\n\nSo to those of you who have graduated from high school... How did you keep the motivation to keep working at it and maintain your GPA? Thanks for listening."

"So I met a guy on a night out about a month ago, he took my number and texted me the next day. Since he was a friend of a friend I texted back, normally guys I meet on drunken nights out I wouldn't bother texting back. We met up a few days later and got takeaway and went for a long walk and it was great. He mentions briefly that he broke up with his gf of 4 years about 4 months ago, but doesn't elaborate beyond that one mention. We're both 20 year old college students btw.\n\nFast forward a few days later and after a bit more texting, I call over to his house. We throw on a dvd and after awhile start fooling around. Now I'm not the kind of girl to just jump into bed with anyone, so when it became apparent that he thought sex was on the cards I told him that wasn't happening. So I gave him head, which in itself is actually moving pretty fast for me and I was annoyed with myself after.\n\nDue to him going back home for a few days and me being away on a college trip, we didn't see each other for nearly two weeks, during which time the texting was fairly steady, if not always daily. When it turned out though that he was going to be up in his college house sooner than expected, he texted for me to come over, but I'd already plans made and when he realised I wasnt going to come over he stopped texting.\n\nSo last night he collected me from college and brought me back to his and it was the same thing again - dvd was thrown on and fooling around began soon after. It unfolded the same way, with me going down on him.\n\nI guess I'm just wondereing where this is going to go. I'm not overly hung up about it, I'm just interested to hear the thoughts and opinions of other Redditors as to how you read the situation. I suppose I reckon that he's just in it for the sex, which won't be happening for awhile yet, but a part of me is hoping that isn't the case :/\n\nTL; DR: Met a guy on a night out, blew him second and third date and am now convinced he just see's me as something to pass the time."

For those who carry: Where do you draw the line in a potential robbery?
| 1 | 3 |
[
"For background information: In my state (MN), it is legal for us to expose, draw, and even point a gun at someone to stop any \"offense\" against us. The fearing great bodily harm or death is only a legal requirement to actually fire the gun at the attacker. This is just the law, and I don't necessarily endorse the drawing of a weapon to stop a (so far) non-violent crime.\n\nSetting aside the arguments about whether or not anyone should ever draw without the intent to immediately shoot, where would you personally draw the line in the case of a robbery?\n\nWould you give up your wallet, your watch, your jewelry? What about your car (what if losing your car would mean possibly losing your job, and in turn, your house, and even your family)? Now, what if you're walking the family dog... would you give up the family dog peacefully to a robber?\n\nI ask this because I'd like to evaluate my own opinion on this matter. Personally, I think I'd give up any valuables on my person, including my wallet, but I'm not sure I'd give up my car. We aren't exactly rolling in cash, and losing my car might mean major problems with my job and our ability to pay bills, rent, etc. As far as my dog is concerned, I'd probably defend her as if she was my own child, simply because she's a major part of our family. I know this is probably not the best legal course of action, but something tells me I would not be able to watch a criminal walk away with my dog, knowing she'd probably end up dead, in the ring with other abused animals, or at the very least have a horrible life (I can't imagine someone willing to destroy a person's life for their own gain treats their pets very well).\n\nSo, I know I'll get lots of lectures about how nothing is worth your life and you should take no risks whatsoever if you're confronted with a robber or attacker, but I'd like to hear people's personal thoughts on what they are willing to protect and what they aren't."

I didn't like hugs for the longest time and I didn't say I love you to anyone in my family until my father died and I started making a conscious effort.\n\nAnd I also kind of don't want to screw up because our interests overlap so much. She's a gamer, and is in the honors society with me, and is a huge Tolkien geek and stuff. Hell, we met over a game of Risk.\n\nBut I just don't know what I'm doing, is the bottom line, and that kind of bothers me for two reasons: I'm normally very good at things almost instantly, and I've always been someone who cares quite a bit about making other people happy. Not to say my mood depends on how others think of me, I'm usually very confident and comfortable being myself, but now I'm really happy to have someone for which I can be a steady source of enjoyment and figuring out how to do that correctly is important to me."

OWS has got me thinking. People (liberals) always accuse conservatives of being hypocritical and holier-than-thou. Why don't liberals look in the mirror?

[
"This whole OWS stuff has gotten me thinking. Why do we always paint with such broad brush strokes? Liberals always accuse conservatives of being hypocritical, and they would be correct. Conservatives would beg for welfare when put in that situation, take maternity leave when given the chance, gladly accept government money if they could.\n\nBut liberals fail to look in the mirror. This OWS stuff is getting out of hand. To paint Wall Street as the bad guys is stupid and you know it. I put any liberal in the position of a hedge fund manager at the beginning of 2008. I tell you the implications of sub-prime mortgages. You really wouldn't take advantage of that information? Who's holier-than-thou now? I promise you 300k a year at a bank with options. You will refuse that offer? I give you the tip on a stock that puts you in the 1%. And you will refuse that offer? Guess what. A lot of people took those offers, and it isn't right for anyone to accuse them of being evil. Sure they made mistakes. Sure they got too greedy. But I don't think any of us can put ourselves in their shoes.\n\nYou can't demonize someone for making too much money. The same way you can't demonize someone for taking government money they don't deserve.\n\nI guess what I am trying to say is, there is no conservative. There is no liberal. There are only individuals. We make our own decisions, not someone else's. There is no rational thinking party. Our rationality is defined by what we think at the exact moment a choice is given to us. The circumstances and situation matter. We have to look past the black and white and finally realize that the world is gray.\n\nDon't lock yourself into one identity, one ideology. Its too dangerous and too irrational. The next time you describe someone as \"evil\" or \"greedy.\" Just remember. They are just as human as you are.\n\n/rant"

Video games were stigmatized at home, but never the less I retreated to playing video games whenever i got the chance for as long as i can remember to compensate for a lack of real world socializing. what drew me to video games were the virtual environments and the nuances and quirks of character designs, from the helmetless hev suit to the stumpy shoulders of terran marines. I obsessed over the details, to the point where I would play a game just to admire the midget run around the map, the marine get gibbed over an over, the expanding barrel of the shotgun from the muzzle break, etc. I got lost in the virtual worlds from the foreboding halls of black mesa to the dingy sewers of thief--immersed in a different world with no real consequences, to live out roles and explore worlds that one can only imagine. Industrial and noir settings appealed to me (quake 1, thief, half life, deus ex, max payne, etc.)\ndepression was inevitable after I had the patience to look at my life and realize it hasn't amounted to anything but an accumulation of experiences/ achievements and psychological reward derived from video games. \n\nI've been delusional of having war experience from my experiences of having sunk countless hours into a mil-sim mod, pr, for bf2; having lead squads, piloted cas, provided overwatch and reconnaissance atop ridges (most of the time spent in this game involved idling and traversing terrain and repeating phrases over voip). can't join military due to physical disability. living with a parent, but am clearly outstaying my welcome by the day.\nnow i am disillusioned, but also detached. ive been socially isolated for the past half decade.

What elements should a sequel possess to justify its existence?

"So, one of the front page posts is a \"why isn't there a sequel to this game\"-type post.\n\nIt got me thinking... what would you actually do to Jet Set Radio/Jet Grind Radio to actually make it worthy of a sequel?

The .jp Super Mario Bros. 2 is basically just new levels made with the SMB1 \"engine\".\n\nOn the other hand, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (which I love) is utterly different than Zelda 1. It provides a fundamentally new and different experience instead of just re-hashing the previous game.\n\nDo you think there are games undeserving of a sequel?

"I can't get past the idea that space even without matter is just infinite. If you could put a homing beacon with infinite range at the center of where the big bang occurred and then travel in a spaceship with unlimited range in a straight line forever, you would just keep going in that straight line, infinitely increasing your distance from that homing beacon right? I know eventually you'd pass all the matter that was thrown out by the bb but you could just keep going in the void. Someone once tried to explain to me that space is curved but I don't understand how that works. Also, isn't it possible that infinity exists the other way? \n\nTL;DR: \nArnold Poindexter: So what you're saying essentially is, is that along with infinite space which extends beyond perpetual bigness there's also infinite smallness? \nHarold Wormser: [nods head in agreement] \nArnold Poindexter: How? \nHarold Wormser: Easy.

"Hey reddit,\nI have a friend who resides in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He got married and moved there from Pakistan to a daughter of close family friends. This was 3 years ago. They now have a daughter as well. He shifted there without finishing any college education (on the insistence of her family so it could be a quick wedding in the US). Now after 3 years of marriage he’s stuck in a dead end, low paying job, he’s been working regularly throughout, and for the past 2 months, for 10 - 11 hours every day including Sunday. They were living in her parents’s house (which was mutually agreed upon by their families) in which there still live her sisters and brothers. The wife goes to college and works as well, making her more financially stable than said friend.\n\n\nThey started arguing after a few weeks of marriage, the arguments revolved around how inept he was and how she didn’t respect him/care for him or their child. It got to a point that the friend in question had to leave to live with another one of his friends for 3 months a few states away, just so the situation could cool down. The arguments and accusations started from how he’s broke and doesn’t have a cent to his name(after 3 weeks of living with them) and have now encompassed her entire family insulting his family, refusing to cooperate or discuss differences, so on and so forth….There have also been instances where she has insinuated that my friend had no rights on their daughter and she even refused to tell him at times where she was sending their daughter to be babysat.\n\nNow this would generally be considered just a bad match by some and bad luck by others….but I talked to him again a few days ago and he told me something that made my blood boil:\n\n\nShe left, with her sisters, to go to a party and LEFT HER CHILD ALONE in her room. Granted her mother was home….but upon arrival and questioning, my friend determined that the mother hadn’t checked up on the infant for a few hours (my friend just happened to come home at that time and wasn’t expected). There are a lot more details to be listed reddit, but I fear that she might have some friend or family member on here recognize this situation as hers and it’ll cause a shitstorm.\n\n\nI’ve talked him into trying to shift them away from her family maybe to another state, but as I hear, the situations for jobs don’t look good in the US and he is hesitating. Meanwhile I’ve advised him to document or photograph any such happenings from now on….also it seems the situation looks ultimately doomed, but he is ready to fight for the continuation of his marriage. I advised him to be ready and consult a lawyer in case divorce is inevitable. It’s my thinking that he atleast needs to know his rights regarding alimony and child support. I would really appreciate any advice regarding the situation and REALLY need some guidance on Maryland laws regarding child support, alimony and divorce as well as any legal aid clinics or divorce lawyers that cater to people who can’t pay much. Its just advice for now….but it’s my belief that it can’t hurt to be prepared.\n\n\nTL;DR: Friend might get divorced. Doesn’t have much money. Need advice on relationship as well as Child support, alimony and divorce laws in Maryland.\n\n\nBeen a long time lurker and have seen some amazing stuff in this subreddit especially regarding relationships, hope you can help me with this. And sorry for any grammar mistakes, I’m not a native English speaker. Thankyou in advance. :)",

People get angry and argue with me when I try to point out that genetic defects can be culled or at least drastically cut down if people just stopped having kids when their blood lines are susceptible, or at least choose a partner with a healthy family history, much like sperm doners.\n\n\nEdit: Sorry, I realize it's not natural selection - Eugenics."

Is Buddhism Compatible with Objectivism?
| 1 | 3 |
[
"Someone on another thread suggested that a person could \"easily\" be both an Objectivist and a Buddhist. What do you think?\n\nHere's the Wikipedia entry on Buddhism.\n\nKarma, rebirth, suffering, emptiness and enlightenment are some commonly-referenced themes of the belief system, although it may be difficult to tie down what exactly is meant by these or other terms as they are used by Buddhists (perhaps that's a separate criticism - the non-objective nature of its use of terms).\n\nSo what would you say to a Buddhist who was trying to share with you his beliefs? Could you convince him that his outlook was incorrect?"

"Hi everyone. Bit of background here, I was on cocodamol for migraines last year (the strong stuff 30mg of codeine in each tablet). My migraines subsided but I would still get headaches. I would then take Nurofen Plus or similar, with 12.8mg codeine in them. This I found gave me a nice gentle buzz which I enjoyed.\n\nFor the last 4 months, I take up to 2 a day every day. I read stories about codeine addiction and people are on tens of tabs of 30mg every day - I'm on a max of ~26mg a day. I do want to stop but I find them very relaxing - like having a beer after work is for most people, I guess.\n\nI have found myself being quite short with my loved ones, I feel irritable, angry and a little down. I feel very frustrated for no real reason a lot of the time. My main question is therefore, can codeine (abuse or otherwise) cause these feelings of anger, emptiness and hostility? I'd like to point out that I'm a very gentle, kind person and so these feelings are very unusual for me. If the codeine's to blame, I'm dropping it right away.\n\n**TL;DR I have been taking up to 2 low-dose cocodamol a day for ~4 months and am wondering if it can cause irritability, frustration and anger.**\n\nEDIT: I'm sure nobody cares at this point, but I stopped taking them on Saturday and all is well so far.

"Today at a bar I was introduced to objectivism as a practical philosophy.

Its logic was circular yet not grounded in any form of modern science or mathematics, and being a young physicist this is a huge strike against for me.

"An electronic/noise track I recorded somewhat recently. Hope you like it.\n\n\n\n",
"Direct democracy at a national scale was not technologically feasible at the founding of most modern democracies, but with modern information technology, it may finally be. It is understood that direct democracy itself is not a great idea, and the separation of powers in the U.S. system was intended to shield government from the people to a large extent while still making it at least somewhat responsible to it. But at this point, the representative system has managed to detach itself from the people pretty significantly and has gotten captured by other interests. They seem less responsive to the people's interests than is reasonable. Should we find a structural place for the voice of the people to be heard and responded to directly, instead of only by voting for representatives who may or may not listen? A new branch? How could we incorporate it into the system while leaving room for dedicated professional elected civil servants?",

Consular tanking style questions

"I come from a tanking background in every MMO I've ever played. Usually the Paladin type if it's available. I love to tank.

I don't want to play the Trooper, not interested in a ranged tank (Though the class looks like a blast to play as a Commando)\n\nThe Knight seems like a more traditional fighter type tank, where I haven't seen any Consular tanking, so I don't know much about his abilities, tanking style, or even tanking look.\n\nDoes the Consular get taunts like other tanks?\nDoes it have a distance closer? \nDamage mitigation CDs equivalent to the other tanks?\nCan you use a 1H Lightsaber instead of the Double-Bladed one?\nIf you've played one, can you describe or compare it to previous tank classes in other MMOs? (I've tanked in WoW, Rift, Warhammer, Vanguard (shut up) and even in a non-mmo game like Dragon Age, I played a Templar/Champion tank usually)\n\nHopefully this game is in need of good tanks, so I have something to do in it.

In 2008, I swallowed my fears and started to sing. Three albums later, well, here we are.\n\nI don't really have much gear - just a single electric guitar, an acoustic, my amp, some pedals, and my computer.

"I go to art school, and I heard one of my roommates say this the other day: \"If I ever heard anyone say art school is easy, I'm going to kill them.\" \n \nI thought the same thing, until I actually attended one. \n \nThe school I go to is small, but I heard good things about it and it was one of the cheaper schools (they also gave me a nice scholarship) so I decided to go. My closest friends, also the best artists I personally know, all went to a different school which is well-known for being one of the best schools in the nation, but one of the most expensive. So I don't know anyone here, and I'm shit at making new friends, but who gives a damn, that'll just give me more time to do homework anyway. \n \nSo I went through the first week of school. My classes were all pretty basic, foundation fundamental classes. The thing is, I've known that I've wanted to go into art since middle school. I had started taking art classes outside of school and going to figure drawing sessions and learning everything I could from the internet. And I sound like a cock saying this, but I'm a lot better than my classmates. A few of my teachers outright told me that they weren't going to be helping me because my peers needed it more than me. I thought that I was just having an easy time because it was the first week, so I asked the older kids just to make sure it got harder later in the term, and they confirmed that the workload would start to pick up soon so I shouldn't switch out into other classes. \n \nA couple of weeks passed and I still wasn't learning anything. The most I ever heard from a teacher was \"keep up the good work\". I'm not paying thousands of bucks to be complimented 24/7. I mean, I like having this huge ego, but I really think I should stop. \n \nThe school forced all the freshmen to meet with their counselors, so I took the opportunity to tell him how dissatisfied I was with my classes. I asked if it was at all possible for me to switch into more advanced ones (I doubted it at this point, we were over a month into the term) and if I couldn't, then I asked if I could audit. He was surprised that I didn't have enough work and helped me out as much as he could. He gave me a harsh critique on my figure drawings, which helped me a lot, and told me that he'd talk to some of the teachers/higher-ups to see what he could do. \n \nHe told me to meet with him after my next figure drawing class, so I talked to him again yesterday. He gave me more critique on my latest figures, then the chair of the major I was in stopped by. She had already been informed of my situation, so she just flat-out told me that it was far too late in the term for me to enroll in any more classes. I said that was fine, I didn't care about credits - could I audit some classes in my free time? She said that all the classes were completely full, and that I wouldn't be able to even sit in. I asked about one class in particular that I was sure had a lot of free space. She said they were probably in the middle of a project, so even if I did audit, I wouldn't get anything out of it. \n \nToday, I disregarded her and went to a junior-level class with a friend who had audited there last week. We were there for all of five minutes before the chair came in and told us to get out. I emailed her asking what I should do, and she told me to meet with her in two days. So that's where I'm at right now. I have all of my homework for the next two weeks done and I'm running out of episodes of White Collar. \n \nI finally know what it feels like for the smart kid to be in the average math class. \n \nTL;DR The art school I'm going to is too easy, and the higher-ups won't let me challenge myself.",

"As a lifelong Marlins fan, I've always struggled to understand and come up with a justification for the vast payroll differences between them and superpowers like the Yankees, Red Sox, and Phillies. I'm wondering what other fans think of this obviously unfair system. \n\nWe've all seemed to have accepted the fact that the teams with the most money will attract the best players, but doesn't that take away from the competitiveness of the game? This has probably been discussed here before, but I have never heard any kind of explanation that makes this sit well with me.\n\nFrom what I've noticed, it seems to be accepted because teams like the Yankees are such a brand themselves that they MUST win, as if it's a guaranteed part of the product. That is why they choose to spend so much on players to ensure that they will always be part of the elite if not the best. That seems to be why they do it, but I still wonder why it's *allowed* in the MLB when basketball, football, and hockey have salary caps of their own.\n\nA team like the Marlins seems to simply be a business, one that they are only looking to profit and would not even think of overspending for players because of how their product wouldn't sell itself to cover the expenses. That seems to have led to them becoming a professional farm system for the elite teams that can afford players when their stock goes up. In the Marlins case, which is quite rare for such a low payroll, they have basically won championships by accident. This is shown by how they immediately have a complete fire-sale of any players of value, basically starting over at the bottom, which betrays the fans and eliminates support. That is my opinion of why all those Marlins games you've seen your team play at are in an empty stadium.",
"I've been walking with short jogs (1-2 minutes) for a couple of months now to build up strength in my feet--my push into exercise was motivated by buying some Vibram Fivefingers but I'd read that trying to launch straight into jogging/running can cause injury, so I want to make sure those muscles were stronger.\n\nThis morning I started jogging and just didn't stop, and it felt great. After five minutes of walking to warm up I had a ten minute jog, five minutes of walking, and then a five minute jog before returning home (another 10 minutes of walking). I'd been out walking and jogging for an hour each morning before this.\n\nI'd like to start transitioning to jogging more, walking less, partly so I can get up a bit later in the morning and reduce the exercise time. If I'm jogging 3-5 mornings a week, what's a good length of time for it? \n\nIn case it's helpful: 6'2\" and about 220 pounds. A physical trainer told me a year ago that I needed to lose enough weight to get down to 190 before I started jogging, which was pretty discouraging; I've lost about 13-14 pounds since then, but I have plateaued the last few months and probably need to increase the intensity of my workout."

"Something always felt wrong to me about the \"bowling ball on a bed\" analogy to describe planetary motion and the effects of gravity. While it makes sense at first thought, I wondered, wouldn't the analogy's elliptical motion along the x-y plane require a (AFAIK) one way gravity vector along the z-axis? I've heard other explanations that kind of describe planetary motion as more of a 2-Dimensional action where the planet is just always falling into the sun. It makes a bit of sense to me, and I wish I could explain it more eloquently. But one thing I've oft wondered is, from hearing the \"space-time\" term so frequently, are the 4 (visible) dimensions really bound together in a married fashion? What I mean is, is there some law I'm unaware of that says space and time could exist concurrently, but act independent of the laws of one another. I guess it would be more correct to hypothesize that time acts completely independent of space and that space isn't necessarily dependent of time, but that it is bound by its laws. I have absolutely no evidence to back this next claim up, but for some reason it just feels like it might be possible, and that being that time does not exist as a straight line, rather as a curve separate from the bounds of space. Not simply a curve, I'll get more into that if this strikes up meaningful dialogue.",

This is where I'm hoping to save myself a lot of money. My most taxing use would be torrenting, web browsing, and streaming video at the same time. I watch a lot of movies and spend a lot of time web browsing.\n\n\nPrice Range:\nI'd like to spend under $1000. If there is something over that fits the bill perfectly I can go over. \n\nDurability:\nThis is huge. I'm a clumsy buffoon as should be made apparent from my knocking it off my bed post. I want something that can take a beating. This I don't mind paying for.\n\nPhysical Design:\n-Lenovo classic keyboard. I love the trackball, and as any true redditor would I also love the back and forward browsing buttons directly above the arrow keys. If there is another manufacturer I should look at with these two features I am open to checking it out.\n\nBattery Life:\n-I'd love something with a decent battery life but if its a savings of several hundred dollars this is not crucial.\n\nAudio:\nI watch a decent amount of movies on my laptop so I'd like a decent sound system. Doesn't have to be amazing but I don't want anything sub-par\n\nIf you don't have a specific laptop in mind but there's a feature that really jumps out that I should look for, or save myself money by avoiding I'd love any help you guys can offer.

Who else suffers from ridiculously dry skin, particularly on the scalp, that has resulted in some insecurity issues? Has anyone found a solution that actually helps/eliminates this problem?
| 1 | 3 |
[
"I apologize if Ask Reddit isn't necessarily the best place to post this question, but I would think a lot of people could use some advice on this topic. For me personally I have always suffered from dry skin. I used to have bad eczema when I was a kid but that has gotten better over time. Now it's my face/neck/scalp that are problematic for excessively dry skin. I can kind of deal with my face and neck with thick moisturizers, but I feel like there must be a better solution. My scalp is the huge issue though. If I run my fingers through my hair endless amounts of dry skin will fall off. Itchiness has led to picking at my scalp which in turn has developed into a compulsive habit. Unfortunately it has resulted in some almost scabs and a few small bald spots, which is quite mortifying. I consider myself a fairly attractive 19 year old female, but this is by far my biggest insecurity. I know skin-picking is related to anxiety, but I'm seeing a therapist who specializes in habit-reversal techniques and recently got put on celexa. However, I feel like the first step in beating this condition is to deal with the dry, itchy scalp. It has always been an issue, but my first winter last year up in VT was the biggest culprit in ruining my skin. I'm sure the chemicals in store bought shampoos and conditioners are partially to blame so I've been trialing more nature based products, but so far nothing has resulted in what I'm looking for. So Reddit, has anyone successfully treated this problem?\n\n\nTL;DR: Always had dry skin. Nothing really works. Scalp is the biggest issue an endless dandruff/itchiness is my biggest insecurity. I'm looking for at home remedies or really good products that have been successful in treating someone else's dry scalp/skin. Please toss me your suggestions :)"

I want to see a side of America that is rarely seen. Also, I'm traveling alone. So, I will be going at a pretty slow pace.

"I'm going to start off with saying that this will probably be quite a read, so if it's a little too long for your liking, i'm sorry. With that being said, let me begin by telling a bit about myself, and my situation.\nI'm 20 years old, from a middle-class family, and have had a decent, albeit mediocre life. I've always been extremely nervous my entire life, and about 4 years ago I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Events escalated and I had to end up dropping out of high school my senior year, and getting my diploma through the local community college. Panic attacks and anxiety have been on and off for my through these last 4 years. I've been on medication here and there, but nothing really long term. I've always been afraid and weary of going on medication, especially something that alters my brain chemistry. I mean, surely people have dealt and combated something like this before the age of medicine? What am I doing wrong? \nAbout 4 months ago my anxiety hit another spike, and it lasted a while getting worse, and then subsiding, but getting bad again. It got to the point where I ended up quitting my part-time job that I had for 3 1/2 years. A decision that I still regret to this day. I told myself that during this time, I will get help. I've procrastinated and procrastinated about it for months, I finally saw a therapist for the first time about 5 days ago, and will be seeing him once every three weeks. \nI guess what my point i'm trying to make here is that I am absolutely terrified of what's happening, and what i'm going to do next. I live with my parents, but I still have car insurance and my cell bill to pay. I've been getting by on my savings that I had, but at this rate, it will be gone in about 5 months. I'm not in school, either. I've been trying to get by doing some computer repair jobs here and there, but most of them my anxiety tends to wiggle its way in, and prevent me from even leaving my house. \nI can't help but feel like a disappointment to my friends, and family. I've always grown up being told that i'm going to do great things, and I've always had very supportive friends, but lately I've been pushing everyone away, and hiding from the world. \nBack in grade school and high school, there was one path to go on. I did my work, and did what I was told to do. After leaving high school, it's like there are so many potential paths and situations to go down, that I just freeze up instead of getting motivation. I get overwhelmed to the fact that I have no idea what to do, so I stress out, and end up pissing the day away in front of my computer. \nI don't really know what I'm getting at, or what i'm looking for, but any kind of advice for someone in this situation would be good. I would love to be able to go to college, and to get a new job. I just don't know what to do to get to that point, and I don't know if i'll have the confidence and the courage to stand up to my anxiety if it comes back. I don't want to let anyone down, like I feel that I have. I just want to start doing something with my life already."

Project Runway Loreal collection?

"Hello! Did anyone happen to catch Project Runway last night? They had a Loreal collection inspired by birds. I absolutely loved some of the eye shadow palettes, especially the Raven themed one! Has anyone seen them in store or online for sale? I'd like to get my hands on them!\n\nps- I haven't finished watching the episode yet, so no spoilers! HA!"

"Do you remember how it was back in the day, when you stole something or been called a witch and got yourself killed in front of kings and peasants? Or how if you were a black woman and refused to surrender your seat on a bus to a white person you got arrested?\r\n\r\n\r\nOur society obviously changed and so did we. We evolved, we became much and then more. We have laws that forces us to control certain urges. Thus you can't just kill someone if he calls you an asshole. Or your girlfriend if she cheats on you. You can't drink your favorite drug of choice and expect to do everything. There are urges we need to control and society made us control them. Which is by all means good; we all took the next step, becoming really the best we can be. But there's in my opinion one big, giant step ahead of us: our sexuality and emotions.\r\n\r\n\r\nYes, I know, we are sexual beings. I know, it's in our nature. But that is one field of life we can't control to the fullest. We make irrational decisions in the name of love and sex. People lose businesses, money, their dignity, their pride in the name of love and sex. We are guided in this live in the name of love and sex. Emotions make us slaves, sex makes us beggars. We are the weakest when it comes to our feelings, our emotions. \r\n\r\n\r\nMost successful songs are about love, most successful female icons represent sexuality. We are letting ourselves be prisoners of our own yearnings, our own emotions.\r\n\r\n\r\n**Lady Gaga, Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox** etc. etc. the list goes on and on. We're being sold sexuality because that's what we crave for.\r\n\r\n\r\n*Tiger Woods* knows what I'm talking about. He ruined his life, his career because of sex. And false emotions. Was it worth it? Tiger, was it worth it? Was she worth it?\r\n\r\n\r\nI believe and I hope that we learn to control ourselves. That is the only part of humanity we still have no control over and is ruining us as a society, as a whole.",

It felt good... but almost to the point where it hurt. I almost wanted her to stop, but decided to ignore the pain. At the end of it, my head was very red and sore.\n\nSo... will I have problem with intercourse/condoms? Should I consider getting circumcised?\n\nThanks."

"Throwaway here. \n\nSo, last night I went to bite his ear and he said he didn't like it; he thought it was creepy. That was difficult for me to understand. Sure, there's things I don't like, but I don't like them because they feel *bad*. I don't intellectualize sex. I'm awfully feminist, and I acknowledge that some kinks can be the product of things that might be less than desirable - the internalization of gender dynamics or whatever, but for the most part I also think that sacrificing pleasure for ideals gets less done than sacrificing ideals for pleasure. Ultimately, I think that having kinky sex does a lot less to harm the progress of gender equality than refusing to be a whole sexual being does.\n\nThat said, I approach sex on all levels as a thing to enjoy. I don't worry about the implications of my acts as long as they feel good. I don't think about sex while I'm doing it. While I'm giving head I don't concern myself with rhythms and patterns, I go wild. When I'm fucking a guy I'll twist and turn until it feels good for me and then I'll have at it. If he wants to bite me or scratch me or spank me he's absolutely welcome, s'long as it feels good. And I don't mean that I'm unwilling to \"fuck with my mind\", because I totally am. There's plenty of ways to manipulate the circumstances of sex that make it psychologically hotter (hood of a car in a public lot? my favorite.), but once we're there and we're fucking I don't worry about those anymore.\n\nSo, my boy, who I love very dearly and who I have a wonderful relationship with that I'm not even considering calling off because of sexual differences, seems to be very different from me in those regards. He *thinks* about sex. The biting his ear thing - it's not good or bad...it's \"creepy\", which seems to mean he's evaluating it under a set of criteria outside of the ones I've aver considered looking at. He worries about sex being awkward, and shuts down when stuff doesn't work quite right right away (I haven't had sex with someone like that since I was a freshman in high school). It doesn't seem to be an experience of his body. \n\nThat was kind of rambley, but, sexxit, where do you personally fall on that continuum? Do you have sex both ways depending on who you're with? Have you encountered this conflict? Help me understand where I am and where he is and how they can be brought together, or, maybe, help me understand that they really aren't so different.\n\ntl;dr Do you fuck with your head or your body?\n\n**Edit**: My goal here isn't to reconcile so that I can be happy in exclusivity. I'm nonmonogamous by nature, and he's alright with that. We just want to make our sex life as good as possible before we explore that option further. If it turns out that the sex I have with him is a part of my whole sexual needs I'm alright with that, but I want to make it as large a part as possible and that means that I need to figure this out so I know where to start from when I talk to him about it."

At first, I was poking just around on a keyboard and trying to learn to play the guitar. I got a little better, and started writing instrumental songs. Just piano and bass with some strings. I did that for a couple of years. Then, I started recording guitar tracks. In 2008, I swallowed my fears and started to sing. Three albums later, well, here we are.\n\nI don't really have much gear - just a single electric guitar, an acoustic, my amp, some pedals, and my computer (all my synths are software). I do all my own recording, mixing, and production. Last night, I ordered my first (small) round of discs, and signed off on the digital distribution agreement for iTunes and whatnot. I'm still learning, but I'm quite proud of how far I've come. I would be thrilled if you took the time to listen. \n\n----\n\nStandout tracks, according to those who have listened before (and me, of course) are:\n\nPoster Child - 80s rock with a huge beat.\n\nGirl's Got Altitude (Little Bit Higher) - Big guitars, soaring chorus.\n\nGoing Down (Little Bit Deeper) - A grinding, gritty beat and a noisy solo.\n\nIndecent - An electronic track with as many synths as would fit.\n\n----\n\nIf you do listen, I would love to hear what you think.

"I know I may get down voted all to hell, but I am tired of people saying you can't take down a deer with a .223. I do realize that a larger caliber such as a 30-06 and .270 may be more practical for deer hunting, owning both, I would agree. But a .223 is more than capable of dropping a deer with one shot. I have done it and many people in my family have done it with a .223 and even a .222. Dropping a deer a depends on shot placement first and foremost, no matter what size of caliber you are using. It also depends on the type of ammo you use. If you are using ball ammo, it's not going to have the same effect as using a soft tipped hunting round.

"At school, a few years back, I was in a class with a boy with down syndrome. The door to get into the classroom seemed like it should have been a pull to enter, but you actually had to push. In class, we heard someone struggling with the door, like yanking it but being unable to open it. One of my mates yells out 'Push it you Retard!' And you guessed it, the boy with down syndrome finally works the door out and walks in. That was the most awkward silence I've ever experienced.",

Sappy lovers of reddit, what should i write?

"Backstory: so I like this girl, and I think she likes me. We may be in the friend zone but only because of one issue.\n\nShe and i live kinda far apart from each other, well kinda far apart when you don't have a license.\n\nAnd we also attend different schools. I think I wouldn't be in the friend zone if we saw each other more.\n\nEnough of the baclstory. So I made a wood heart in shop class(its pocket sized). I think I know what to write in the letter I'm including it with but I'm not sure it will be good enough. \n\nI am sending it via mail service. So this is what I ask you, redditors. What should I write in the letter that will express how much I love her? By the way I love her alot. Not just high school teenage hormone induced love, like actually LOVE. What should I write?"

The first time I really tried to watch it was IPL3, although I watched a bit at MLG and Dreamhack. From what I can tell it is farming AI opponents for about 90% of the game to get certain upgrade and abilities (I think?) for your character. Then the last 10$ is the teams going back and forth until someone goes too far and then they get pounced on and lose. Can you guys tell me why you watch it? Nothing stood out to me as particularly skillful or unique and there barely seemed to be any action till the end where the game ended very quickly. Is there something Im missing? \n\n\nOk thank you guys. Basically I need to play it and watch some low level streams. Thank you to those who were kind and patient!"

"Just wanted to thank everyone who offered kind words and advice about my PhD. It was a revelation to me that I might suffer from Impostor Syndrome, and this was really an amazing discovery. I now understand that my inner critic is basically gone wild, to the point that it was about to start sabotaging my success.\n\nI was so afraid of failing the PhD that I think I was starting to procrastinate and put off finishing. I was trying to avoid having to submit it, because my inner critic was sure I would fail, that I was a con artist. Now thanks to Two X and particularly Voerendaalse I realise that this feeling is only a feeling - and is probably not based on reality. \n\nI am a crazy perfectionist. To the extent that if I can't do it right, I will not do it at all. I set myself unrealistic expectations, and blame myself when things go wrong- even things outside my own control.\n\nAnd it is not just with the PhD, I am also hyper critical of my appearance, my language skills, my fitness levels.... basically just about everything. This \"inner critic\" drove me to be the successful person I am today, but I probably don't need to keep being so hard on myself. \n\nI have ordered a book Embracing your Inner Critic. I am also going to start Art therapy.\n\nI am going on a research trip for two and half weeks to another country and am going to try and lighten up and enjoy myself. I am doing my PhD in History so I get to look at really old documents, about 500 years old and try and understand them. \n\nOverall I feel so much better knowing that if I am my own worst enemy, then surely I can stop being my own worst enemy, and make my life and my PhD so much easier.

"Few people understand how hard it is to operate a business which depends so much on intimidation, bribery, murder and assassination. Necessary as they are, these practices give us a bad public image and lead to frequent legal problems.\n\nWithout drug prohibition, we could not survive. Thanks to prohibition, we enjoy amazingly high profits. Without this financial power, we could not afford competent murderers and effective bribes. Furthermore, prohibition eliminates the possibility of legitimate competitors, who would enjoy significantly lower costs if they existed. \n\nWe commend the Health Canada Medical Marihuana Access Division (MMAD) for being slow and ineffective, and that they continue to fight against compassion clubs and cannabis farmers, which drives millions of continued customers to our dealers. We thank the police unions for their support and above all Mr. Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada for maintaining this system and working to strengthen this system.\n\nWe particularly appreciate the original version of Bill S-10 and other tough on crime bills. The \"tough\" aspects of the bill do not affect us at all: We can afford excellent lawyers; we can intimidate witnesses; and we could import marijuana if it became too difficult to grow here. What the bill WILL do is attack independent growers of all sizes. We are very happy with this: Any independent grower is a threat to our market share and our profits. By driving these growers out of business, Bill S-10 will cement our market dominance and ensure our wealth for many years to come.\n\n\nEDIT: I mailed this to my MP and MPP.

Should professors have an obligation to teach the facts?

Signing up for a \"Ethics of Religions\" class, it would be ridiculous to expect anything else.\n\nBut when does it go too far? Should teachers be asked to refrain from teaching personal viewpoints in fact-based introductory courses? Or rather, should a course that teaches only 1 side of the story have to be titled as such?

I don't feel like standing right now.\" So I stayed seated. Meanwhile, a student scolded me telling me to stand up, so I told him I didn't want to and couldn't be made to. Later he sent me an angry message on facebook for not standing.\n\nEver since earlier this school year I've been researching how government and economy works, keeping up with recent news (mostly thanks to r/politics and r/economy, but not just those), and getting involved in my Government and Economics class. I've come to find that I don't really like the U.S. right now.

I never said that I don't respect those who risked and are risking their lives right now, but they fought for the right to be free, and there are no laws stating that you have to stand for the Star Spangled Banner or the Pledge of Allegiance. Just standing because every one else does it to be \"respectful\" is just blind nationalism, not patriotism.\n\n> **other guy**\n\n> You still need to at least show a little respect \nO wait do you know what that is???

"UPDATE at the bottom if interested.\n\nBACKGROUND:\nFor the last few months my neighborhood has been the target of thieves(I know shocking, who doesn't have this problem). They walk through the neighborhood early in the morning and take stuff from vehicles that are not locked, backyards and unlocked sheds and garages. I know, I know: LOCK IT, HIDE IT, TAKE IT. I get it, but that doesn't change the fact that they have been strolling through our neighborhood and taking our stuff. Just because it's unlocked does not give them the right to take anything they want.\n\nI have personally been hit 3 times(twice vehicle/once back yard). Never for more than a little bit of cash/coins in the cupholder and the annoyance of retrieving some yard art from down the alley.\n\nSo last night was number three and I caught them on my surveillance system. They are really dumb criminals. I have a hundred watt spot shining on my car and they hit it in plain view. I've got great video of two of the four and clothing descriptions of the other two.\n\nTomorrow I'm going to file the police report and submit the video as evidence, not because I expect to recover anything but because the report helps the local PD to track statistics. I would love to think the PD could help catch them, but I imagine the local PD has a little more to worry about.\n\nSo Reddit, what else can I do with the video? I'd love to get it to go viral around the five local high schools. I'd love nothing more than these dorks to get wind that they got filmed and for their peers to be passing it around. However, I'm a 30 something without any ties to the high-school population. About the best I can do is post it on our neighborhood message board and see if anyone there can start to pass it around.\n\nAny ideas?\n\nThe video: \n\nThanks Reddit. I love you guys/gals/tweeners.\n\nUPDATE: I forwarded the video around through the neighborhood and it took off through the high school population. We've identified all 4 kids in the video(even the 2 in the background at the end) and detectives have everything they need to move forward. It was nice to see social media used for something other than \"eating turkey sandwich on couch\" for a change. THXKBAI."

I didn't need the strange old man, blocking the path before me, to tell me that. \"YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!\" bellowed the strange man with as much fear as bewilderment. He paced back forth in the serpentine cavern pointing his finger and shaking his head madly. \"You can't block the path forever. More will come.\" I said calmly, as if I knew what I were talking about. \"More....yes...more..\" the old man mumbled cautiously as if an unseen presence were listening to our mad conversation. Carefully the old man walked towards the wall of the cavern, avoiding unknown traps and pitfalls that could lead anywhere or worse. \n\n\"Open.\" the old man puffed out the command with barely a whisper. A strange croaking sound that was strange and beautiful at the same time grew louder till it filled the small winding cavern. A frog appeared out of the shadows as big as a man. It's rubbery skin glistening in the dim light of the cave. \"Pay no attention to the outward it rarely reveals what's within.\" the frog spoke without moving it's mouth or changing expression in the slightest. \"Who knows how we look to him anyway!\" snarled the old man, who appeared much more confident now he had a three hundred pound frog beside him. \"A frog that speaks in riddles? I asked out loud as thoughtful as I could. Puffing himself up to almost twice his size the frog in a very impressive voice stated, \"That was no riddle but I will show you something far more than a riddle!\" The old man cackled and ran away into the black shouting things I did not understand. Suddenly the frog let loose a terrible croak forcing me to step backwards and lean against the wall. Instantly I was somewhere else, somewhen else. \n\nIt's a bright and warm summer day and I'm a child again. I'm at the playground that was near my house when I was seven years old. The world is spinning slowly, I'm on the merry-go-round. I don't panic. Doing what I think makes the most sense I dig my small heels in the ground slowly stopping the yellow and red painted metal toy. \"If I was spinning clockwise....maybe if I spin counter....but quantum theory states...\" I trailed off then looked about to see if anyone had heard a seven year old boy in 1988 talk about quantum mechanics. The playground was empty and the sky was getting dark. Bright blue skies were dimming to gray and clouds threatened the sun with black embrace. In other words, things were getting ominous with a touch of foreshadowing. Out of the corner of my eye I caught a large, dark object moving towards me. Grasping one of the metal bars I began running counter-clockwise as fast as my little legs would carry me. My heart raced. I ran until the world was a blur and I had shrunk two inches from the rut I had dug in the gravel. The large, dark object came into focus. A dog! A large black dog with a strip of white down the middle of its back and a face both vicious and terrifying. A night mare wolf who came for me. Reaching what I thought to be the fastest speed I could manage I swung myself onto the speeding metal platform and hoped for this insane plan to work. The dark object moves closer and the world ends with a mad, mad spin.\n\nDarkness again and I’m back in front of the frog. The old man laughs.\n\n\nPART II TOMORROW!",

"If the due date for an expecting mother is July 11, 2011 (based on an ultrasound), putting her at 9-weeks pregnant on December 5, 2010, we find a conception date of approximately October 18, 2010.\n\nThis might seem like a silly question to some of you, but I'm curious: when would she have had to have sex for this timeline to match up?

"It was scary, and the culmination of 32 years of bad lifestyle choices. I had a 90% blockage in my right coronary artery that was relieved by installing a medicated stent. It was nothing like I saw described anywhere else, or how it's portrayed in the movies (surprise).\n\nEDIT: More details added\n\nHere's how it went down. Some friends and I were just hanging out at my house, playing video games. That night I went to sleep and didn't feel well. It felt like I couldn't catch my breath and that there was some pressure that was sitting on my chest. If I lied down flat in bed it was pretty much unbearable. If I sat up I could actually get some sleep. The rest of the night was pretty fitful, and the next morning I still wasn't feeling well. On the way to breakfast I decided that it was just a little too weird to ignore, and I went to the hospital. I was driving and I just continued driving myself. I wasn't convinced that it was actually anything wrong but wanted to be sure.\n\nAt the hospital they took my vitals. My blood pressure was high, my heart was beating faster than usual, but I was still conscious and able to move under my own power. They sat me down and did an EKG which I passed. They did the usual blood tests which take about an hour to complete. The doctors were talking about releasing me. Right about then a nurse came in and hung a bag of nitroglycerin. That was unusual. The doctor came in after that and said that I had troponin in my blood which is an indicator of heart cell death. It doesn't occur otherwise.\n\nThe next day I had angioplasty and a stent installed. That was a strange experience in and of itself, mostly because you have a team of people digging in your crotch. Afterwards I felt better, and was released a couple days after that.\n\nSince then I have been working to lose weight and get into shape. It has been a constant struggle.\n\nEdit: This is a throwaway account to avoid any possible discrimination by future employers"

"Hey RA. I'm a pretty confident, decent-looking, very fit 20 year old in university. My issue is that I seem to have trouble making friends with girls. Generally, what ends up happening is we meet, and if I find her attractive I can't just leave our relationship at friendship. I have very few female friends who I would consider good friends, and I honestly think that the only reason I have them is because they're not as physically attractive as the girls I go after. It seems like above a certain 'score' (If you want to call it that; I'm not a fan of giving girls a score out of ten as dudes often do), I feel the need to have some sort of sexual intimacy as well with them, barring a horrendous personality. \n\nWhat gives? Am I immature? Is it because I am inherently objectifying women as sex dolls? Do I lack self-control in my relationships? I guess I just want the power to friend-zone women. I think it would make me feel like less of an asshole.",

It feels good to not be worried about a 2-1 lead for once.\n* Giroux is just as nasty as last year if not better. He had an absolutely sick outlet pass off the end boards to JVR (who knocked Timmy over with his shot) and set up a number of great chances. His goal was the thing of highlight reels.\n* Pronger looked slow and made some pretty serious mistakes out there. I think it'll be a few games before he's fully back into it.\n* Timonen also looked slow initially but he really picked up his game as it went on. Great save to preserve the 1 goal lead.\n* I really don't like Rinaldo, he's like a less effective Carcillo who can fight.\n* Cooter looked really good on the PK. Only criticism is he really has to be careful pinching on the PK, dude is too slow right now.\n* Briere and Hartnell were no where to be seen, but they were split up last night.

"Roughly two weeks ago I was hanging out with my group of friends, and usually we sleep over at her house instead of going home. My house is a short distance away, and the friend's dad would not let Samantha stay over. Samantha and I went to my house, and from there our stories differ. My bed is big enough for two people to lay in, and we cuddled a little. I'm bisexual and everybody knows this, but I lean much further to the male side of things. She took my hand and put it on her boob. I did not allow anything further than that to happen, and we both went to sleep. She later goes and tells our group of friends that while she was asleep, I took her bra and shirt off. Now she is a big girl, way bigger than I am. (And I am a male.)

Should I take down their turret during laning phase?
| 1 | 3 |
[
"When I'm laning 90% (not because I'm so good, usually it's just because they're so bad) I dominate my lane. Out farm them (sometimes by twice as much), outlevel them by 1-2 levels by the time I take down their turret, (almost) never die, usually kill them at least once or twice. And when I kill them or force them to B I go beat on their turret and usually take it down after killing them or forcing them to B 2-4 times. \n \nHowever, I notice that after I push down their turret my farming drops WAY down. Just last hitting I inevitably push my lane (because my opponent is usually zoned out so they're not last hitting, plus they're usually scared after I take down their turret and stay far back in their lane). In order to continue farming I'd need to way overextend and I don't want to do that. \n \nTaking down their turret early makes it harder for me to farm/zone them out and easier/safer for them to last hit/farm once I inevitably push the lane. \n \nI know the turret gives us global gold and exp and _should_ theoretically make it easier for the jungler to gank my lane opponent easier (but somehow that _never_ happens in my games/at my ELO level). \n \nBut I really notice a significant drop in CS after I take down their turret. And I can't zone my laning opponent from getting exp/CS without overextending. I can go gank other lanes and push down their turrets. But then my lane opponent gets uncontested/free farm/exp and I'm not farming and I'm cutting into the exp/CS of other lanes. \n \nAfter I take down their tower they start to catch up and my farming goes WAY down, especially if I go wander around for ganks and try to push down other towers. And then I have to wander back to my lane because, since I left my lane, my opponent is getting free farm/levels/pushing towards my tower. And while wandering to other lanes and back I'm not getting exp/CS. \n \nShould I intentionally NOT push their turret down? Just beat it down to 1/3 or 1/4th life so I can take it down whenever I want and keep farming until I have an even larger advantage?"

I'm imagining headlines like:\r\n\r\n>\"Colbert Rally full of internet inside jokes\" (like the media knows what a \"meme\" is)\r\n\r\n>\"Stewart, Colbert hold rally for drug legalization and gay marriage\"\r\n\r\nAnd of course many, many, too stupid to even imagine in advance, fox news headlines about us bashing the tea party movement.\r\n\r\nNow, listen, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with movements for stuff like drug legalization and gay marriage -- it's just not what these rallies are about, and we don't want to confuse the media.\r\n\r\nOur message is simply that political discourse needs to become less sensational and more civil. Signs *bashing* the tea party are not civilized. Sure, the tea party movement *can* be *critiqued* in a civil manner; but so many ideas I have seen posted on reddit are not as civil as we should be striving for. I'm not even sure it is a good idea to specifically reference the tea party -- we want to get people thinking about their actions, not put them on the defensive.\r\n\r\nIn short, this has the potential to be a huge event in American politics...but it also has the potential to just be a bunch of comedy central fans and redditors hanging around having a good time.

"I am debating if I should transfer colleges or not.\n \nHere is the info...\n \n \n**Current school**\n \nI am 3 years in.\n \nDeclared my major(s) at the end of my 2nd year...this is my first year in my majors.\n \nDoes not offer very many classes I am interested in. \n \nOffers very few classes that pertain to what I want to do after graduation.\n \nDouble major will set me back a year.\n \nNot double majoring means I took a junior writing class for no reason. \n \nDouble major requires I take 2 capstones and 2 writing classes.\n \nHave signed up for housing next year and canceling it costs from 500 to 1500. \n \n \n**Transfer school**\n \nOffers a lot of classes I am interested in.\n \nOffers a lot of classes that pertain to what I want to do after graduation. \n \nDouble major is very easy - many of the required classes for one are the same for the other. Would only take 1 capstone. \n \nIf everything transfers correctly I may be able to graduate on time, if not a year late. \n \nOut of state tuition alone costs $3,000 more than tuition plus housing at my current school.\n \nWould be living rent free.\n \n \n**Other**\n \nMy boyfriend is going to be transferring after this semester.\n \nHe wants me to transfer with him, but he is not the sole reason I want to transfer.\n \nI am not a person to take risks, I live my life according to this plan I created of what I want my life to be. As a result, I never do anything fun or exciting. I want to change this, I want to live and make a mistake for once.

Can anyone give me a (largely) spoiler free recap of the main WWE storylines the past 4-5months?

"Maybe leave out the twists in the build up, and the match results... I know for sure that'll mean that follow up storylines won't be mentioned, I just want to streamline my viewing of wrestling when I start again."

"I am having an Oktoberfest themed event for roughly 250 people and I need to know what beers I should buy. I can't go way overboard with the budget but I do want to have a good sampling. I might even throw in a few Pumpkin beers to mix it up.\n\nSo far I'm thinking Spaten Oktoberfest, Paulaner Oktoberfest, Saranac Pumpkin (I live in Upstate NY) and perhaps the Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Part of me wants to include a really great German beer that isn't necessarily an Oktoberfest.\n\nHELP!!!",

"Hey guys. SeaGnome has left me the KOTH infrastructure we all know and loved from the era of SCReddit. Due to reasons that are outside my control, we can no longer use the SCReddit name or justin.tv/screddit. Despite that, I plan to continue the KOTH tournaments on the same schedule in a new location.\n\n**New stream location: **\n\nGet it, like Reddit URLs? Clever, huh? \n\n**Why the name?**\nI know many of you would really like 'Reddit' to be in the URL. We do, in fact, own justin.tv/redditkoth. However, all the advice I've received from Absentis and others indicates that using Reddit in the name has the potential for lots of problems and paperwork down the road. As of right now, I don't have the experience or infrastructure to deal with that. In order to avoid complications that I don't feel properly equipped to handle, I've decided to just name a veiled reference. Let me be clear, though, **this is still a Reddit community tournament**. It's by Redditors, for Redditors.\n\n**What's all this I hear about MassCarriers?** (EDITED)\n\nMassCarriers is the current name for EdwardStarcraft's venture into the world of replacing the SCReddit infrastructure we've recently lost. I don't want to make promises for him, but I assure you that his heart is in the right place. The name seems to be unpopular, but there's still time to resolve that. While Edward and his team build up the infrastucture and decide on a name, the KOTHs will continue on the stream I listed above.\n\nIt's likely that these community KOTHs will end up cooperating with whatever organization the community chooses, once that starts to take shape. See below.\n\n**What about ipp's proposal? What about X, Y, and Z?** (EDITED IN)\n\nI hope that Edward, ipp and everyone else that loves this community can come together on this and work to keep community events alive and flourishing. For now, I intend to continue to run these KOTHs as they were before the loss of SCReddit. The community will evaluate if or when any organization should absorb the nightly KOTH events.\n\n**I'm confused. What the heck is going on here? Why are things changing?**\n\nThe team behind SCReddit is moving on to bigger and better things. They've asked that we refrain from using their brand name. There's some debate on whether SCReddit is \"theirs\" or if it belongs to the community. Please do not debate that here. I cannot do anything about that, and I plan to make the best of the situation I'm in. If you wish to discuss that particular issue, feel free to join the discussion. There's lots of good info in there about the transition, as well.\nAside from the new stream location, changes to KOTH should be minimal. Same casters, same time, same format.\n\nFor tons of info on the SCReddit change, see this comment by FearGorm\n\n\n\n**Schedule remains unchanged, but as a reminder:**\n\n* Monday: 2v2 all leagues\n* Tuesday/Wednesday: 1v1 Bronze/Silver\n* Thursday: 1v1 Gold/Platinum\n* Friday/Sunday: 1v1 Diamond/Masters\n\nWe accept signups starting at 7PM EST. Stream goes live and games start at about 8PM EST.\n\n**tl;dr?**\n\nI'm your new coordinator for KOTH events. It's hosted in a new location, but we're sticking to the same schedule, the same rules, and the same casters. There's a lot of crazy stuff going on, but Reddit community KOTH is here to stay. Please support us as we make the best of the situation.\n\n**Community Feedback**\n\nI've seen the confusion about our myriad signup methods and times. To alleviate this, we're trying to transition to a new signup system engineered by EdwardStarcraft. It was really well received by last night's competitors, so I'm hoping to roll it out to all nights. I'd also like all casters to standardize the acceptable signup time, preferably 7PM EST. Please direct all feedback about this new system and the chosen time to me, preferably in a reply to this post.\nIf you have any other ideas or input, please post them here.\n\nThank you everyone for your love and support. All KOTH events are absolutely on for the forseeable future."

"Hey, I work in advertising and late last week AMC came in to share the details of their programming slate for the 2011-12 television season. I wanted to post this last Thursday but the Redditpocalypse prevented me from doing so and I left my notes at work so I couldn't do it over the weekend. Anyway, without further ado, here's the scoop:\n\n - Hell on Wheels (New Show) - Premieres November 2011 - It's a western type show about the construction of the transcontinental railroad. Looked very Deadwood from an art direction standpoint.\n\n - Breaking Bad - Season 4 this summer. That's all I got.\n\n - Walking Dead - Comes back 'Q4 2011' - Eight episodes will air in Q4, then a hiatus for the holidays and then five more episodes in Q1.\n\n - Mad Men - Doesn't come back until 2012. No other details as they just resigned with the creator\n\n - Killing - Will be back for a second season in Q2 2011 EDIT: 2012. Coming back in 2012.\n\n - Unscripted Series - 'The Pitch' and 'DHS' has already been discussed here so I won't get into that. There's another show that is in development (read as: Might not happen) called '2050'. I don't remember a lot of details on that one other than it was going to be 'a look into the future' (duh) and has either Speilberg/Cameron/Scott attached to it from a producer standpoint (maybe)."

Is it me, or are the vast majority of gun store owners complete knuckleheads when it comes to business sense?

"There is not a single brick & mortar gun dealer within 30 miles of me who has S&W M&P.40 15 round mags. Not a single one. I tried to buy locally before going online.\n\nLo and behold, I find these which are far below MSRP but have to be shipped from Kansas. I bought two.\n\nI asked one of my local dealers why these mags were so hard to find and he said that the US government entered into a huge contract with S&W and that this was why M&P.40 mags are a rarity at present.\n\nI asked him if he'd raised his price on the mags when that news broke and shortages were impending. He said \"We want to make our customers happy so we don't do that.\"\n\nMy response was along the lines of \"I'm a customer and I'm unhappy because I can't buy it from you. Raising prices is not gouging. Raising prices when supply falls means you always have some in stock for those who really want or need it. Sure, you made the people who bought your last stock really happy, but now all the people after them are disappointed because you don't have anything to buy. Worst of all, you lost out on a larger margin on those sales.\"\n\nSo my local dealers are all idiots. What about Express Police Supply? My guess is that these magazines were priced as part of a strategy to get people to look at their online store. They must've had a huge inventory and decided to make it a marquee low-price item for advertising purposes.\n\nWhere they screwed up was not raising their prices weeks or even month ago. They're one of the few retailers with the product in stock and a market of high demand. They're losing out on HUGE profits right now because they're not raising the price closer to or above MSRP. They too will run out and we, the consumers, will be SOL.\n\nIf any of you want to make a nice profit, I recommend buying a bunch of these mags and selling them on Gunbroker or some other site over the next few months. You'll double your money easily."

"Ok I have been with AT&T on an introductory DSL rate for about a year now for $15 a month. It will expire at the end of this month so I am looking for more options. AT&T Offered me their current deal of $25 a month IF I signed a one year contract (I dont really like contracts). I contacted Time warner (road runner) to see what they could offer. The cheapest they offered me was $35. If I have to.... I will call at&t's retention dept & ask to have my account canceled if they dont give me a $20 deal. I can always go back to leeching wifi (for free) and wait until time warner or another internet provider offers a new introductory offer (last april Time warner had a $20 a month roadrunner deal, but it is no longer available). Have I missed anything in my strategy? Any other possible option? \n\nNote: I dont care about speed, only about cost.",
"Wikileaks is a major concern for National Security. Not only are they releasing confidential documents regarding opinions of foreign leaders, which makes diplomacy very difficult, but they are also releasing documents which paint targets for terrorists and causing global tension. Let me ask you this, how would you feel if your friend went and told your colleagues and bosses what you REALLY thought of them? You'd be pretty pissed off, and rightfully so.\n\nAs far as the release of the names of Afghani civilians that have helped the US, we don't only need to be worried about the Taliban ruthlessly murdering them, but also feeding them false intelligence to confuse us.\n\nWikileaks has done two things: A) Told us things we already knew (OMG! Civilians die in war?! NOWAI!) B) Hurt US relations around the world, possibly permanently.\n\nAs far as I am concerned wikileaks is a terrorist organization. Anybody that contributes, leaks files to them, helps them, and works for them is a traitor to their country. Classified and confidential information is classified and confidential for a reason. Releasing these documents is not a first amendment right, it is treason.\n\nAlso, just an fyi. I'm a liberal leaning moderate, not a conservative. Just so you don't make assumptions. ;)",
"Last night I came across an enormous list of first & last name, home address, and social security numbers on a public share owned by a Tufts / Harvard professor of computer science. I've been troubled whether or not to contact the professor or to go straight to the head of their department. This person is a professor in computer science who teaches courses such as 'Intro to Digital Information' which gave me a laugh. Am I crazy or is this something a professor in their profession should know better not to do?\n\nEDIT: I called up the FTC and reported the issue, then emailed IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Prevention office), and then called the head of the computer science department and had them get the page taken down."
