I have been working on my third album for more than a year. Last night, I signed off on it.	1	3	[ "The Man Forgotten.\n\n------\n\nEver since I graduated high school, I've been trying to music. 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. 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.

A personal review of "Jesus, Interrupted" by Bart D. Ehrman	1	3	[ "When I stopped believing, I was certainly shocked, as I didn't know what to believe about morality. I had to reevaluate everything. Also, I felt bitter at the Church for telling me so much bull.\n\nSo, I finished reading \"Jesus, Interrupted\" and felt so relieved. Why? Because I learned the following things.\n\n* I understood that while religion really does bad things to us and makes us do terribly evil bad things, many of the people in the first centuries were sincerely searching for the Truth and were honestly trying to protect it.\n* I also found the closest approach to finding the historical Jesus. It's probable that He wasn't 100% a myth after all - but at the same time, it was a very different Jesus from the Jesus we have imagined. The historical Jesus, if he existed, was an apocalyptic orthodox jew who demanded that all the jewish law be kept and obeyed. It was his later followers who gave him the divine status.\n* This is a personal deduction I made. Our Jesus, the sinner-loving and compassionate Jesus is a product of memetic evolution, changing with the average morality of mankind so that with time he became more and more perfect and loving - a Jesus that we feel compelled to worship.\n* That the belief in the divinity of Jesus was a natural process stemming from his elevation to Messiah\n* The different doctrines: The Trinity, Jesus being born from a Virgin, Jesus being man and God at the same time, all were born through different circumstances that dependend on the mindset of the various christian communities.\n* The messianic prophecies of the Old Testament never included a suffering Messiah, but a political and military leader. This makes it logical given the political situation of Israel in the OT times.\n* The chauvinism and misogyny in various letters of St. Paul were later forgeries done by current leaders of the Church at the time, so it's possible that the original St. Paul wasn't as evil as I was taught he was.\n* The gospels were written after Paul's conversion, and all in greek. While this increases the probability of them being a mere human invention, it's also obvious that they were written by educated, elite members of the greek society - not by the apostles themselves or by their companions.\n* There were a number of forgeries in the NT epistles, not all with bad intentions - some were created to counter existent forgeries.\n* Not all in the Bible needs to be rejected just because the whole christian religion is a hoax. There are many good passages in there, that if read in the appropriate historical context and stripped from the religious fanaticism, can give us words of wisdom and good examples to emulate so that we can apply them to our lives. In other words, some of the preaching we've heard on Sundays schools isn't necessarily wrong. We must just understand the historical context and add our grain of salt.\n* Eusebius was a historian of the victors; The majority of the views of Jesus in the first centuries were \"heretic\" - orthodoxy was defined by the group with a more organized clergy.\n\nOverall, the book is excellent - written by a scholar, giving an impartial view of the historical Jesus and the origin of Christianity. It also solves many riddles I had in my head, wondering what was real and what wasn't. It helped me understand my christian roots and my identity as a (former) Roman Catholic.\n\nI sincerely recommend this book to anyone wanting to find the Truth in the middle of a myth-infested maze. If you read \"the God delusion\" and/or \"the selfish gene\" by Dawkins, you'll gain a lot of insight on how the various doctrines have evolved." ]	[ "Why does bad eyesight persist among humans despite evolution or natural selection?

I'm leaving and going in the opposite direction. Hugs, goodbye, and then a HIGH FIVE! wtf? I didn't raise my hand or anything, I'm turning to leave and she puts it up there and I hesitate thinking \"Is this a high five?\" and then she says it/ I comply but leave immediately.

I'm setting up a tattoo appointment at my tattoo shop. The receptionist is a good looking older woman(hb 8.5) with whom I have good rapport. We used to go to college together and I'd see her around. I've been in the shop a bunch for tattoos and she likes to chat. So we talk about the tattoo and set up an appointment and then we're talking about school and my new college. I say I'm on break, but waaaaay busy and she says \"Take a break\" and I'm like \"Thats not going to happen, I'm not taking a break until summer break, work always, always working.\" Which is something pretty characteristic for me to say, I work a lot on school and dont make time for much else. So I'm about to leave and I say goodbye I'll see you in a week(when the appointment) and she holds up her hand for a high-five. I hesitate thinking \"Is this my life? Every girl I talk to wants to high-five me? What the fuck?\" And so I give her a high-five and then I leave. Also, I'm not interested in her at all I'm just kind of chatty with most girls.\n\n\nSo, what the fuck? Are these women just really lame? Am I turning them into high-five robots? I can't help but think I'm making them nervous or something. Both of them are attractive well socialized women.

But here's the problem: I can do it myself, but not by myself.\n\nAfter seeing Washington's and Colorado's legalization campaigns pop up so quickly, I just have this urge to start one, so here I go. NY seems to be a pretty liberal minded state. I think that if we get enough support from politicians and other VIP's, we can really turn out the vote for this in say, 2012.\n\nNow, down to business. I have a couple ideas, but expect most to come from other people.\n\nMy first plan of action, I think, would be to start working on a website. I and my roommate are decent enough w/computers, but if any of you want to also contribute to that part, I'm more than willing to let you. We are not webmasters, mind you. We would prefer to find someone who has experience running a site, and would be willing to devote their time to it....but that may be a long shot. I dunno. We'll certainly have later discussions about our plan of action regarding web stuff.\n\nAlso, I'll take any suggestions for the name of the campaign. \"Legalize 2012\" is already taken (Colorado), and I don't want to rip off the word \"Sensible\" from Washington. The first thing that came to my mind was \"NY Legalize\". Maybe not the most original name, but simple and to the point.\n\nNow this next thing is completely unrelated to the name of the proposition/campaign, but I just wanted to put it out there. When we do eventually start writing up literature and talking about it, I really want to only be using the term \"Cannabis\", as it is the more globally recognized name of the substance, and there are no negative social stigmas(that I am aware of, at least) associated with that word.\n\nBut first things first: I want to gauge the interest in this idea. If you want to help, tell me how you think you can, tell me where you are from, and I will do my best to get back to you and try to help people get in touch with others from their respective areas. (I'm from the Rochester/Syracuse area myself.)\n\nWe can do this guys!\n\nEdit/Notice: I will create a subreddit for this if it takes off.\n\nEdit 2: It was brought to my attention in r/trees that NY does not have a system in place like California's for adding state-specific measures to the ballot. So, to clear up any confusion, I am not saying we have to try to do it exactly like California, or Colorado, or any other state. I was just referencing other states' efforts as a jumping off point for discussion.\n\nEdit 3: Here we are. Sorry it took so long. So, join up, read the first post, and let me know if you want to be an RM!", "While I think that the graphics in SC2 are obviously a big step up from where they were in the original game, I have some gripes with the new character and building models. While there are a few in Terran and Protoss that I'm not sure about, it's the Zerg that really irk me the most.\n\nBuildings:\nThe new spawning pool and extractor look downright silly to me. Whereas in the first game they had that trademark sinister \"Zerg\" look, now I think they look like children's bouncy castles painted purple and green. The awesome spines on both these buildings have gone from menacing to comical, and they look downright bulbous and overinflated. This isn't helped by the way they emerge as they pop, with both looking as if they're being 'inflated' from below, spines wobbling in the breeze.\n\nBuilding animations: \nThe spawn larva animation from the Queen bothers me as well. Whereas it could be an opportunity for a nice animation for a building, instead it looks rushed. The sacs on the hatch all jiggle in complete unison, taking away from the effect. It looks like someone inside the building is shaking little zerg maracas in time with eachother.\nThe building animation while zerg bases are constructing also feels very 'beta.' The zerg inside, while a cool detail to construction, doesn'y match up graphically to other animations for terran and toss buildings. \n\nUnits:\nI think the roach, while a valuable addition to the Zerg swarm, is a goofy looking unit. Squat and ugly, it looks like a spiny tortoise than anything else. What are those ridiculous axe-like things on its back? Why would something with a tiny, beak like mouth spit acid the way it does? I think the hydras just LOOK like they spit spines, but the roach's attack seems ill suited for it's squat, awkward character model.\n\nWith all this bitching out of the way, it bears referencing that I LOVE the way SC2 looks overall. It's more vibrant, colorful, and varied than its predecessor overall, and I think many characters look better than they used to. Lings look much more 'insectoid' with their little wings and erratic movements. Zealots look beefier and more fluid in movement. I'm not putting this up to complain, just to see if anyone else agrees/disagrees.

Getting charged by clicking on an image inside an ad - why is this possible & how to prevent it?	1	3	[ "Yesterday while playing an Android based game with in-game ads, I clicked on one of the ads.

I closed the app, thinking that there is no way I subscribed only by clicking. Checking my bill today, I was actually charged this amount - and calling their customer services, they told me that I actually subscribed to it.\n\nHow is this possible?

Is there some kind of security settings that I can enable on my phone to prevent sending my personal info (i.e. phone number) like that?\n\nThis stuff should be illegal, I imagine that many people - especially kids - must click and get invisible charges on their account debited every week without knowing it.

Why you shouldn´t flash MIUI just yet	1	3	[ "Out of fairness I´m going to start by saying that I used an inofficial ROM for my SGS2, BUT most of the following stuff also gave me headaches on my Desire with an official MIUI Rom.\n\nI enjoy modding my gadgets as much as the next geek here. Custom firmwares / Roms etc can add a lot of useful features and remove annoying bugs and bloatware thats in the original firmware.\nMIUI was the ROM that made me root my phone. It has a lot of eye candy (I personally love the launcher, of course it looks a hell lot like the iPhones, but then again the homescreen is pretty much the only thing I like about iPhones) and a lot of useful replacement apps (image viewer, music player, file browser,...)\n\nThe problem though with custom roms is that they just dont have the quality assurance that official stock Roms have.\n\nHere are some of the problems I encountered while using MIUI:\n\nminor problems:\n\n* The battery drains much faster. On stock I have roughly 50% battery left after a workday, on MIUI its 30%\n* It takes longer to get a gps fix and its less accurate\n* MIUIs Camera has a worse picture quality than Samsungs stock camera\n* Not working that well with an external SD card (you cant save photos from the camera to your sd card etc)\n\nMajor Problems:\n\n* I tried calling my SGS2 after flashing and 1 out of 3 times it said that the called person isn´t available when I had full signal on my SGS2\n* Mobile internet is less stable. Most of the times it flashed from 3g to H and back to E. Sometimes the icon would just disappear entirely. It was also over all slower than on the stock rom\n* The Phone loses files and settings after a reboot. For example Photos taken are simply gone, baconreader asked me to log in again, Screenshots gone, Podcasts downloaded by Dogcatcher gone\n\n\nMIUI has a lot of potential and I love where they are going with it, but in the end it all boils down to reliability.

A question about black holes, and I promise I'm not high.	1	3	[ "I realize that this will probably sound like wallbanger moon logic, but here goes anyway:\n\nAs I understand it, the distance from the event horizon to the center of a black hole is greater than the diameter of the event horizon itself, and this distortion is created by the superdensity of the matter of whatever initially created the black hole. The actual matter of a black hole exists in a kind of spatial asymptote.\n\nMy question is this: Would it be possible for a chunk of matter to have sufficient density to hide itself in a spatial distortion without crossing over the threshold into planet-eating singularity territory? In other words, could an object's density create a spatial bubble exactly equal to the physical volume of the hypothetical object without creating the discontinuity of an asymptote?\n\nI fully accept that the only dense thing here might be me, and that the very nature of this question might well belie a vast and embarrassing misunderstanding of singularities, gravity, or even basic arithmetic.\n\nI promise that the reasoning underlying the question was not induced by recreational chemicals.

I would not be able to fall asleep till 4 am for about 2-3 days out of a week on average. I would not be able to fall asleep at all maybe once a week.\n\nI can fall asleep on weekends because I visit my girlfriend who lives in a big city; when ever I'm there, I sleep like a baby.\n\nI developed my insomnia when my negligent, ignorant room mates blasted loud music out of the sub-woofers placed in the living room from the very first day; even though they'd eventually turn the loud music down at bed time (12-1am), I think the general uneasiness from living in such an environment is what instigated the insomnia. I couldn't sleep at all the first night I was there.\n\nI should also mention that I used to leave my girlfriend's place on Monday mornings because I did not want to be in my place for longer than I have to be, however, that required me to wake up at 6am to catch a bus; the prospect of missing that bus gave me anxiety and so I'd only get about 2 hours of sleep on sunday nights anyway. I've since stopped doing that.\n\nAfter trying Melatonin, Valerian, OTC Sleeping pills, ativan (prescription), and most recently elavil (prescription for chronic insomnia), memory foam mattress, ear plugs and wax papering the windows and having none of them consistently giving me sleep, I decided to take a week off of work and just go to my girlfriend's place.\n\nLo and behold, I slept like a new born pup every single night that I was there without the help of a SINGLE sleeping aid; no pills, no memory foam, not even ear plugs, on a crappy old mattress that even hurts my back when I laid on it (I might have read a little the first night there).\n\nI'm writing this now because it is currently 6:20 in the morning, I am back in the city where I work, in a different room of the apartment where I live, in the room of a friend who agreed to let me sleep there for tonight. I cannot find any sleep. So the deal with me seems to be that I am somehow allergic to this city; I can sleep when I am not here, I cannot sleep when I am.\n\nSo reddit, can you help me? I have a university school term starting soon in the city I'm in right now, and I cannot afford to be allergic to this city. I'm relieved to know that it's caused by my environment and that I CAN sleep, but I'd like to resolve this issue too as opposed to run away from it. I know there's something out there that'll work for me, and I promised myself and my girlfriend that I won't let this get the better of me. All suggestions are strongly appreciated.\n\nThanks for reading.\n\nOther information:\n\n- I have tried meditating or listening to music to calm myself, but that rarely works for me.\n- I know to read when I can't fall asleep and try again when I've tired myself from reading; that only works sometimes.\n- I tried keeping a journal, but all I would write in there are entries about how I can't fall asleep, so the prospect of writing in that journal every night would give me anxiety so I've stopped doing that too.\n- My work is not particularly stressful or demanding; and I don't need to be at work very early so it probably is not giving me any stress.\n- I am calm, even if I can't fall asleep; it does not seem to be anxiety that's preventing me from falling asleep, although it would ensue when I can't fall asleep; I have learnt to deal with it though. My brain can't seem to shut it self off and drugs don't work.\n- I have never had a history of chronic insomnia prior to this, nor does anyone else in my family.\n- I am a skinny, healthy, 21 year old male and have no health problems as indicated by a recent full body physical." ]
How the hell do I keep cats out of my garden / yard?	1	3	[ "I know I'm going to get down voted to hell for this since the internet is nothing but boobs and cats, so be it.\n \n\n\n\nMy neighbor has 5 \"outside\" cats that come to my yard and dig up my garden, flower beds and yard to use it as their own personal litter box.

Even Siberia isn't as big as I always thought. Mind blown!\n\n2) I always thought that if two cars of the same mass heading towards each other at the same speed, collide head on, the force calculation would be the mass of the car multiplied with the SUM of the speed of both cars. In reality, it would be just the speed of ONE car and not the sum of both. So it would be like hitting a wall as you see in crash tests. This misconception was based on calculating relative speeds: if both cars are moving in the same direction, the relative speed is the difference and if moving towards each other, the speeds are added.

Furthermore, SpaceX plans to carry additional payloads aboard the Falcon 9’s second stage which will deploy after Dragon separates and is well on its way to the ISS. NASA will grant formal approval for the combined COTS missions pending resolution of any potential risks associated with these secondary payloads. Our team continues to work closely with NASA to resolve all questions and concerns.\n \n>This next mission represents a huge milestone not only for SpaceX, but also for NASA and the US space program.

No history of illness.\n\n\n\nOn Wednesday of last week my dog started vomiting a bunch of the middle of the night - at least 7-8 times, if not more. When I woke up the next morning he seemed really depressed. I let him rest in his area for a bit while I went to work. When I got home, he had stopped vomiting, but he still seemed pretty depressed, and was shaking a bit (he never shakes). I took him to the vet, and they couldn't find anything wrong with him. \n\nThe next day, again - no vomiting, but he wasn't going #2, and didn't want to eat his food. I was able to get him to eat small amounts of soft, bland food, but that was about it. \n\nOn Friday, he still wasn't any better, so I left work early and took him to the vet again. He started acting NORMAL all of a sudden, and the vet again said that it didn't appear anything was wrong, and additional tests would be necessary. \n\nSaturday - Took him back to the vet to get Xrays, bloodwork, pancreatis check, and a cardiogram. \n\nEach time i've gone to the vet, they've chalked it up to depression being brought upon by my upcoming cross country move. I am moving from Columbus, OH to Austin, Tx this week, and it's been a pretty stressful past couple of weeks. The nurses and vet keep saying that the dog is probably picking up on this. I don't really believe it, but whatever. \n\nThe bloodwork showed high levels of PHOS, CREA, and BUN - proving that the little guy's kidney's are not working. They recommended that he be put into intensive care overnight at a local pet hospital. Cost: $360\n\nThe Pet Hospital agreed that the bloodwork showed abnormally high levels of PHOS, CREA, and BUN, and stated that they would put him on antibiotics and aggressive fluid treatment for 36 hours. Also recommended that we do follow up bloodwork and an ultrasound on Monday (today). Cost (before bloodwork and ultrasound): $800\n\nWe visited him at the hospital the day after he was admitted. He's got a catheter and a fuild drip running into his leg. He had a bit more energy, and his shaking had subsided. This was probably due to his medications easing the pain. His bad breath was gone, which is a sign that the fluid treatment is flushing the toxins out of his system.\n\nThe Vet contacted me today to let me know that his toxin levels had decreased by 50% - which is a sign that the fluid treatment seems to be working well. Today they will be running a suite of tests in order to try and come up w/ a diagnosis: Ultrasound, Cortisol check, urinalysis, etc. They also reccomended an additional 2-3 days at the hospital. This will be an additional $1800.\n\nI'm starting to get scared - my funds are going to run out soon. If it wasn't for the cross-country move this week, and the new house last week, things would be a bit different.

Modest Proposal - Terriffs, Subsadise, Taxes. How to keep jobs and profits in America.	1	3	[ "We have a problem as a country. We tax the middle class too much, we do not tax the corporations enough and we bleed jobs to cheap labor overseas. \n\nThe big Republican stand is that taxing big corps too much will reduce their re-investment in the United States. This makes sense. If I own a Corp and I get my pockets drained by having money in the US economy then I would go somewhere more profitable. Corporations are not humans so they have no heart they only have Excel. So to counter this we need to make it more profitable to hire, produce, and invest in the US while paying their fair share of taxes. \n\nI propose that we shift taxes/tariffs around so the hardest hit are goods imported into the US. So a company that resides here will be spending more money to keep things overseas. This includes production of goods and the money that was made overseas. In other words we reduce the taxes on the money made overseas so it is more cheaply brought back into the US. We put higher tariffs/taxes on goods being brought from overseas forcing goods to be made here.\n\nThis will flip the dynamic of our Import/Export ratio and make the US a producing country again.\n\nTo conclude my discussion point I would like to say that this is a self-preservation shift. It is about the US and not the rest of the world. We have to balance our books or else we will fall far as a country. It is an isolationist approach and it is very likely to upset the United Nations. This approach will probably break Free Trade agreements all over the place. But let’s face the facts, a lot of the trade agreements where written at a time when America had everything to give and nothing to lose. We are entering times where America is losing everything. I am proposing a method for stopping the bleeding until our country is stable again. At that time we can reflect on both methods of running a country and come up with a balanced approach. The pendulum has swung to far in one direction and now we need counter balanace." ]	[ "EDIT: If you're having trouble getting in contact with the other team (don't know any contact info at all), send me a PM.\n\nAlright, I've generated teams and brackets.

Has anyone else suspected their plan was abruptly changed by Bell Mobility, but been unable to prove it?	1	3	[ "When I received my phone back in September of last year, I was fairly certain my plan included 200 minutes, with another 100 bonus minutes. In June (and ever since), I experienced a steep and sudden increase in the cost of my bills -- but other than a little long distance apartment hunting (which represents only a portion of the increase), I hadn't been using my phone any more than before.\n\nI called to inquire about this over a month ago, and was informed that my plan only included 100 minutes, plus an extra 100 bonus minutes -- and that it always had.

I don't currently have access to my original contract that was mailed to me, as it's in my home province and I'm away for school for the year. So I just decided I'd suck it up and carry on.\n\nA few days ago, I noticed something. The month where my bills started becoming more expensive coincides with the first bill where I'm able to view a detailed breakdown of my usage online in Bell's customer interface; before this date, this feature of their system did not exist, and I could only see usage breakdowns by sifting through the PDF of the bill. I began to consider the possibility that some adjustment they made in their system may have been responsible for causing some feature of my plan to become modified or dropped, as this seemed like an odd coincidence.

FIRST DOUBLE REDDIT EVER! Reddit, what common things are there that everybody else can do except for you? And is something wrong with me?

Trees too dry, it will make it stick to itself more, will burn slower. \nIt will make rolling easier since you will not end up with bumps due to irregular size of pieces.\n\n2: Use the thinnest rolling paper you can find (my favorite, Black Rizla), thick paper doesnt slide on itself and sticks, doesnt really roll well, DO NOT apply pressure to the trees when rolling, most people does this and it is useless, you will only rip the paper appart. Place both thumbs with your indexes on top of the trees, and just rub the paper, it will make the trees into a cylinder, no need to push it, it will automatically take the right shape. \n\n3: Make sure when you fold and glue the paper, that no paper folds on either side, you can use a small stick to un-fold it if necessary, Then its the time to make a filter and insert it at one of the side, the smallest one!" ]	[ "Hey everyone, this is my submission for the August BTFC.\n\nFront]( [side]( [back]( and a bit of [proof!\n\nSo, the about me.

Earlier in the week anyone would have thought we were a perfectly normal happy couple with no issues whatsoever. Thursday comes around and we get into a fight. She was doing something I found rather annoying and kinda ignored it. She took this as a sign of me not giving her attention and she sat on the other side of the room. This is her way of saying she wants me to come to her and talk about the problem. I feel this is her treating me like a dog and making me come when she calls. So I stood my ground and didn't move. We finish watching the show and few words were said to the effect of, \"Maybe you should take me home\" \"Yeah probably\". So I take her home. The next morning I have to pick her up because I was going out of town and I was letting her borrow my car for the weekend. I try to talk about the fight and she doesn't say much. We didn't really say goodbye at all and went our separate ways for the day. Later that night I get a simple text saying we should be done. Over the next couple of days she didn't text and had very curt closed end responses. Since then she has basically said she feels talking will do nothing and that's it. It seems like she broke up with me before we really had a chance to talk about the fight, and is now making it impossible to talk. Until now she's always been emotional, wearing her heart on her sleeve. So ladies, what is it that makes you flip that quickly.", "I will be heading there from Bilbao, Spain to watch the race.

Lunch went fine. The food smelled odd but not rotten. At about 1:30pm I started having the tell-tale signs of mud butt: bloating, stomach cramps, and sweat outbreaks. I am not generally comfortable dumping out during the work day, and avoid No.2 bathroom visits as much as possible. Despite two doses of Immodium and numerous trips to the uninhabited server room (wherein I successfully played flip-a-coin with my ass - is it gas? is it mud?) my bowels were unrelenting. By 2:00pm I was walking around my desk with my ass cheeks clenched, trying to maintain focus with deep and measured breaths. Anxiously, I made my way to the small but public toilet shared by the entire multi-business business complex. The first time in, there were too many people to deal with. The two stalls were occupied and a single urinal was open. I managed a trickle of a piss so as not to look like a freak that surveys bathroom occupancy. (Ever tried peeing when you body is trying to squeeze out a quart of hot poblano cocoa?). I headed back to my office, counted to twenty, and returned to the public toilet. \n\nExcept for the handicap stall occupied by a man with fancy shoes, the place was deserted. I couldn't wait any longer. The stall was tiny. The fancy shoes to my left were way too close for comfort. I put the paper seat down (Footnote 1.), dropped trou, and sat. \n\nNothing happened. I was clenched in embarrassment, knowing the hellish liquid fury that was to come. I thought about warning the fancy-shoed man next to me and whether a warning would be appropriate. (Guys know that there is no talking in public bathrooms.) If I did warn him, how would I do it? What would be the most manly and nonthreatening way to let this person know that I was very sorry for the inbound conflagration of filth. Should I talk with a mild southern accent? Should I call him 'pal' or 'buddy'? Should I be polite and knock on the metal divider that separated us? After about 15 seconds of thinking about this, it suddenly all became very funny to me. \n\nI started laughing a low wheezy laugh, like Muttley from the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons By the time he got out of the room I was loling - and my ass was having a 4th of July celebration.\n\nI finally calmed down, reduced output, and was able to finish up my bathroom visit without further incident or visitation.

A major theme of Occupy Wall Street is debt relief. Bankers got debt relief as the government bought up "toxic assets." What we need now is debt relief for mortgages and student loans.	1	3	[ "It never really occurred to me why student loan relief, relief from the burdens of massive student debts, should be part of the demands of the Occupy Wall Street protesters.\n\nDebt relief for mortgage holders-- relief Obama has failed to supply-- makes sense: investment bankers and subprime mortgage lenders and their agents engaged in all kinds questionable and probably illegal tactics in order to convince people to take out loans they could never repay. They gave out these loans and convinced people that there was no downside to the loans, that their new properties were going to go up, up, up in value. They lied to get people to sign these loans. It makes sense to give the holders of these mortgages relief.\n\nBut I couldn't figure out why student loans should be included. Don't get me wrong, I support affordable education so I'm not against the idea. And I admit that I'm slow at gaining this insight into an economic reality many people now face...\n\nBut now it hits me like a ton of bricks: all the while investment bankers and mortgage brokers were engaged in shoddy dealings as they created a housing bubble that would burst and leave the taxpayer holding the bag, other people were playing by the rules as they took out loans to get the education they needed to further their lives, never suspecting these banksters, gangsters, and sharks were planting the seeds for the destruction of those jobs that people were getting higher training for.\n\nRegular people played by the rules when the economy was good. They took out loans to get higher degrees and training. They were never suspecting investment bankers and mortgage brokers were laying the seeds for the destruction of the jobs and careers those regular people were trying to get thru education.\n\nAnd now that we are all left holding the bag, many of us in America are left with the extra burden of debt, debt that under normal circumstances would be moderately easy to repay. The bankers got bailed out, and regular people playing by the rules got sold out.\n\nFuck.\n\nAnd now I understand completely why people are demanding relief for people holding massive student loans.

Reddit, I’m unexpectedly traveling out of the country for the first time in just over a week. There is a lot of information out there. What do I REALLY need to know about international travel?	1	3	[ "A few additional details:\n\nI’ll be traveling from the US to Scotland for 5 days. My flight, transportation and lodging are all set so I don’t need to worry about that. I already got my passport.\n\nQuestions:\n\n1. What is the best way to handle money while abroad? Traveler’s checks? Exchange for local currency? Credit cards?\n\n2. My cell phone (Verizon) doesn’t have an international plan. If I want to be able to call back to the US, what’s my best option? Calling cards? Is there a cheap prepaid phone I can get there or is Skype the best option?\n\n3. As far as electronics go, I plan on bringing my phone (in case of emergencies), camera, and iPad. All I need to do to plug in/charge these items is to get a power converter, right?\n\n4. Talk to me about customs. I was on the TSA or CBP websites the other day and saw something about getting the electronics you’re taking with you registered BEFORE you leave so that you have proof that you had them when you left the country? Do I really need to go through all those steps?\n\n5. Since I’ll be in Scotland, I want to take back a few bottles of scotch that I can’t get in the US. I know that there is a limit to what they’ll allow you to bring back. What am I allowed to take home with me?\n\n6. Is there anything else that a first-timer might not think to pack/prepare for when making a trip like this?\n\nThanks!" ]	[ "I would like to invite you to think and fantasize about this.\n\nJust wondering what event(s) should happen that would trigger the release of the password.

Is it the moment he is brought on to the US soil that the information will be released?

[H] Hero Squad - 6/7 heroic 25m recruiting all specs	1	3	[ "Recruitment is currently open to all non-priest healers, a non-dk tank, and several good dps (ret, boomkin, kitty, ele shaman or any exceptional dps). Raid schedule is Tues and Thurs, 8pm - midnight eastern.\n\nAbout Hero Squad: Hero Squad is a raiding guild made up of working adults whose primary goal is downing PVE content. We raid 8 hours a week, but strive to clear as much content as physically possible in that time. Our main raid times are Tuesday and Thursday from 8pm to midnight EST. We pride ourselves on strong progression without having to raid 4 nights a week.\n\nWho we're looking for: First and foremost, we are looking for players that we get along with. During our raids we work hard, but at the same time try to stay relaxed and fun. We strive to keep our raids fast moving, and enjoyable for all of our members. We do not tolerate arguing or denigrating comments between any of our members and have a zero-tolerance policy towards any racist, homophobic or sexist type comments from our guild members.\n\nAbout our raids: We take our raiding as seriously as you would a recreational sports team that you play after work or class. Since we only raid 8 hours a week we expect as near 100% attendance as possible from our raiders. It is not the end of the world if you don't make a raid, but we need to know at least a day in advance when you will be unable to make a raid. Many of us have busy lives, and schedule our wow time around those lives. If you cannot take wow that seriously, this is probably not the place for you.\n\nTo many of us, we find fun through success, and consequently, expect 100% focus during boss fights. We look for players who understand their class and play it well, while also being able to keep track of changes to the class and adapting as needed.\n\nOn our main raid nights we also work very hard to make sure that everyone raids. Instead of having our extra members sitting outside the instance on 'standby' on raid nights, two of our officers work to swap players in and out of the raid group. Each raider sits out one or two bosses per lockout. This normally equates to everyone getting a 15-20 minute break somewhere along the night, and helps to keep the raid moving along swiftly. We track who needs loot, so players will not sit out a boss they need a drop from.\n\nWe use a zero-sum DKP loot system for 25-man raiding. 10-man raids use an open roll for loot.\n\nWith all that said, if you are still interested in joining Hero Squad, please fill out the application at herosquad.us to the best of your ability. The more seriously you take this application, the more seriously we will look at you as an applicant.\nherosquad.us\n\nThanks for reading and hope to hear from you soon! A large portion of the guild are redditors, so no sneaking things from /r/pics on to the forums without getting called on it." ]	[ "I'm a big fan of tea as well as purportedly coffee-based drinks like flavored lattes and cappuccinos, but I've never been able to drink actual coffee.
