Looking for inexpensive versatile flash
|
I have a nikon d5100 and looking for a "first" flash. My main reqs are that it can pivot up and down and left and right. An added bonus would be if i could use it later as an off camera slave as well. I know the d5100 doesnt natively act as a master but thats for later in the future.
Something in the $100-200 range would be nice. Thanks in adance.

I think the grocery store cashier wants to have sex with me.
|
There is a grocery store I have frequented for the past 15 months or so. Sometime back in the summer, I started to notice that one cashier was particularly friendly. I'd be looking at pasta in an isle, and she would walk by and say hello and ask how I was doing. It seemed she would walk by most of the times I was there. Eventually she got my name and got to know a little about me.
Recently for xmas I bought a cupcake tray at the grocery store for making fruit cake. She asked me what I was going to bake, and for the next few times I was there, she was like, "*, have you made your fruit cake yet?", and "can you bring me fruit cake?" I was in a festive spirit and obliged her today, and she gave me a full-bodied hug, I did the one-arm hug thing, and told her I was going away for the holidays. She gave me her email on a piece of paper.
Now I am presented with a few options. But I really like the grocery store. I feel like, if I cut her off or if I sent her a friendly platonic email, in any scenario, I'm eventually not going to be able to go to this grocery store because it would be super awkward. On the flip side, having sex with the cashier wouldn't be that bad. It would probably help with my personal growth in lieu of a long-term relationship ending last summer. But I really like the grocery store. Advice?

Best drills or practice techniques to aid with weight transfer during swing?
|
So whenever I'm doing practice swings my weight transfer from my back foot to my front foot during my swing feels fine, but occasionally when I'm actually striking the ball I'm finding that I'm finishing my swing with too much weight on my back foot, almost leaning back sometimes. It seems like I'm losing 20+ yards from my shots when this happens. What's the best way to help prevent it from happening?
Thanks!

There is a stray pitbull in my neighborhood- do I need to be concerned?
|
I have seen a very large black pitbull running around, seemingly chasing small animals and hanging out. I've found huge piles of poop in the middle of the road and have found baby raccoons that have had their throats torn out in its wake. I walk to work frequently. Should I carry a weapon, or will pitbulls leave people alone?

Please settle this debate about public sex!
|
I'm not going to say who thinks what, but we are having a debate on whether or not a lot of people want to have sex on a slide at a park. This was the only way I could think of settling this with unbiased people. So please, are there any of you who would like this? Or do most of you think its a weird thing?
EDIT: All I am asking is this: Are there other people out there that want to, or have done this? There is no problem with sex in public. It is a question of what others want or have done.

Making a child safe mirror
|
So I was price checking child mirrors and I see them sell for like $150+. They are acrylic mirrors (which I assume is important). Looking up acrylic mirrors I can get a same size mirror for like $30. My question is how to fix the sides if they are sharp. I was looking at children's factory in particular and for some of the mirrors they only have corner guards. What material would I use to make a corner guard or edge guard and how would I go about it?

Hey Reddit,my roommate is missing, how can I find out if he spent the night in the drunk tank?
|
So me and 3 other guys recently starting living together because work for the same place. We go out to drink and see this epic firework show, and by the end of it, its just me and 1 other roommate and he is hammered. He starts playing this game where he just runs away. not like jokingly either, I'm talking like full out sprint and hitting holes like a running back. We finally make it to a downtown party area and there's just too many people and I lose him. I ended up saying "Fuck it" and got in a cab after two hours of looking/more drinking. Woke up this morning and he still wasn't home... now what? We just started living together in January so if he did get in trouble, I doubt I would be his go-to call if he was in serious shit
TL;DR my roommate got too drunk to come home last night and i can't find him.
UPDATE: called the police/jail and they said he was not arrested. Now what? called his cell and he isn't picking up

So /dreamtheater, what's your favorite Live Dream Theater song(s)?
|
Of course DT is known for their live renditions of their songs, so which ones are your favorite?
They did a version of Peruvian Skies, which included portions of Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar" and Metallica's "Enter Sandman".
Instrumedley is a no-brainer
I managed to catch the band live last year during their ongoing A Dramatic Turn of Events tour. Dream is Collapsing into Bridges in the Sky as the opener is a definite permanent memory for me; the lights show was awesome too. My first DT song performed live.
Lastly the version of The Spirit Carries On on the Score DVD was very powerful. Maybe because of Petrucci's opening solo, maybe because of the crowd and atmosphere...

When does documentation become excessive?
|
This is part rant, part question (mostly rant). I'm a first year CS student. I'm in my second course, Intermediate Programming in a Windows Environment using C#. IMO our teacher requires WAY too much documentation. It's getting to the point where I'm spending just as much time documenting as I am writing code.. I swear there's more green in my files than there is code. And I'm still not documenting enough. I got a 16/22 on my last lab. The program was nearly perfect. If I had documented perfectly I would have gotten a 20/22.
This is the example we were given for how we should be documenting. I feel all of this is extremely excessive and takes up way too much time to be practical.
I understand that they're trying to get us into good habits of documenting but when you make it excessive it just becomes tedious, troublesome, and makes programmers hate documentation. I haven't looked at too much professional source but from all the open source code I've looked at... 99% of this is not done outside of academia.

SOs who feel uncomfortable verbalizing affection
|
had a chat today, with my honey. told him i have a need for affection and he said he felt uncomfortable talking about feelings. i don't need to really hear anything when we're together because subtle gestures provide the love i crave but when we're apart words are all we have.
anyone who has a partner with similar feelings, please comment
is there a way i can help him to become more comfortable?
(ps. babe if you're reading this, you're a creep. also, i love you and i'm trying to figure some stuff out for us to make things easier)
edit: alright, I think I've just realized that perhaps it's not the words that are lacking... because he wakes me up to something sweet and says something nice before we sleep. I think I just miss him showing he wants me more, or actually wanting more of me. I miss feeling desired, like when he would ask to see me or cam or something. Now what?

Reddit, I need some advice on debt for my mom. She is scared of losing her house.
|
So, unfortunately, my mom is poor. Recently, she called me up to talk about some things and started crying. Her husband recently left her and now she is struggling to pay her bills.
She works full time....but it just isn't enough.
Her main debts are her mortgage (really shitty) and credit cards. All told, it is less than $50,000.
I know this isn't a huge amount of money, but to her it is.
The first question I have is how to deal with the credit cards? If I am able to negotiate the debt and interest rates on the cards, she might be able to keep her house. I know this means giving up access to the cards, but I just don't know what to say to the companies.
The second question is what can I do about the mortgage? It is only about $30k but at a real shitty interest.
tl;dr: My mom is poor and needs help with some credit card debt. And her mortgage sucks.

Friday Night Voice Thread #22
|
Welcome back to the weekly voice thread! This thread will be posted every Friday night here on /r/asktransgender until the community loses interest.
So what is this thread? Simple: it's an attempt to encourage others to work on their voices, by showing the progress others have made on their voices over time. The previous voice thread is below if you're interested in seeing how we've progressed since last week. Feel free to post a voice clip, even if you're just starting out. I know it's something that's not easy or fun to work on at first, but trust me - once you get something that starts to sound good, you're going to get a huge boost in confidence!
**If you feel like you're late to the party, don't worry!** You can still drop a voice clip even if it's been days since the latest thread was created, and hopefully someone will help you out. Also, feel free to drop more than one voice clip in the same thread!

##Some tips for working on your voice:
* Stay out of falsetto! Falsetto is only useful in finding your head voice, it's not a very good place to go for finding a voice to speak in. Falsetto is the vocal range above your normal vocal range, and you should feel a "break" in your voice as you transition from your normal vocal range up into falsetto
* Work on your resonance! You should feel no vibrations in your chest when speaking. The target you're looking for is your "head voice"
* To find your head voice, try pushing your larynx (the thing your adam's apple is attached to) up as far as you can, and attempt to "throw" your voice out of the top of your throat instead of your chest. You should feel vibrations in your mouth, teeth, upper throat and maybe even your nose when you're doing it correctly
* Once you get your head voice, take your guy voice up into head voice and you should get something that starts to sound female.
* Talk to yourself in your female voice when no one else is around, so you can build up muscle memory
* **Have other tips for us? Please share and I'll add them in!**
##How to rate others' voices
If you don't know the vocabulary to describe what someone is doing wrong, feel free to simply state how close you think they are to passing. Please be honest and respectful, and don't tell someone they pass when you know they don't so that they don't end up using the wrong voice techniques. There's nothing worse than building confidence in a non-passing voice and then realizing it doesn't pass later on and you wasted your time.
If you are going to post your own voice clip, please help others with their voices as well! The best way to make this a useful thread is for everyone to pitch in :)

Looking for anime similar to Buso Renkin with a twist.
|
As is stated in the title, I am looking for an anime similar to Buso Renkin. This all started a couple weeks ago when I asked a friend to help me find an anime where the 'guy gets the girl' and it isn't full of the pervy-old-martial-arts-master or the harem-style that seems to infect too many anime series. He directed me to Buso Renkin. I was pleasantly surprised that a martial-arts/action anime could have a decent relationship story building up that finally ended with the guy getting the girl in the end.
What I am looking for is an anime like Buso Renkin where the main character ends up 'getting the girl". It doesn't have to be a romance strictly, but I would like it to have that as an undercurrent of the anime. I also do not care much if it is action based, or martial arts, or comedy, or mecha, or whatever. I am just in the mood for a good story where the main hero guy gets to be with the heroine or the pretty girl and everything ends happily ever after.
I really do not want another Harem anime - especially after trying to give To Aru Majutso no Index a chance. While that anime did have good action, the harem aspects ruined it for me.

Theory about non-benders... I apologize if this has already been covered.
|
Just a quick thought about the reasons as to why there are non-benders... I know there have been multiple theories, including genetics vs. spirit stuff regarding the reasons as to why some people have bending and others do not. But what if it has to do with Chakras or something? Like, the non-benders are born with a chakra that is blocked, not allowing them to bend. Just a thought. Have a great day!

Looking tips on avoiding re-injuring hamstring
|
Hey everyone, when I was in high school I acquired a fairly large scar tissue buildup in my right hamstring due to pushing myself too hard training for track and field. After track was done I went to the chiropractor and got an ultrasound done on it for a few months to break up the scar tissue but I was told it would never fully go away (probably due to how badly I had injured myself). I've been starting to work out regularly lately and I'm noticing a lot of tightness (regardless of stretching) in that hamstring again and I'm wondering if anyone had some tips (aside from RICE, I've been doing that) or exercises to strengthen my hamstrings so I don't re-injure myself.
(I'm 23, Female and 5'6 ~110lbs)
Thanks!

Help Reddit! InDesign Error Code: 5
|
Hello Reddit,
I had been working on translating my friends graphic novel using InDesign 5.5 as that was what her publisher told her to use. I had just finished translating the entire thing and was ready to send it off earlier today, and wanting to make sure that things were working out okay and making sure that everything was in order, my face drops when I see the error screen that my file is damaged and/or corrupted and can't be opened. The deadline for this is in less than 32 hours and I have tried every single method that I've googled except for having to pay for the softwares since I'm a college student and dont have that much money.
I would be utterly grateful if someone would be able to help me salvage whatever I can from this. The main headache is that I lost all the text in the .indd file and I didn't create a simple text script to copy and paste the translations into. Even if it means that someone can help just salvage the text files it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance Redditors!

Looking for non action games for my OCD wife

So my wife doesn't like many action based games (not good when it comes to adrenaline pumping), but enjoys puzzle and resource management games like civ, epic Mickey, la noire, portal, myst, etc. She is also a little ocd so I think she would enjoy detail oriented things like stat management or something of that sort.
I think she would like turn based games rpgs where you build classes or stats, but I am open to other ideas. Also, anything she could sink a lot of hours into would be good. We have an Xbox 360, a Wii, and an not so great computer.

ordering coffee online - expectations vs. reality
|
I've ordered beans from a few places online in the past year or two and I've noticed that each company does things very differently. When I order online, I generally expect two things.
1. My beans are roasted the day I placed the order or after
2. The beans get here before the coffee reaches its prime. I feel like <5 days of transit time shouldn't be too difficult with what they're charging for shipping these days.
I recently ordered 3 bags of coffee from a "local" company, ~ 1 hr away from me, and 2/3 bags were roasted 3 days before I had placed the order. Only 1 bag was roasted after my order was submitted. Would this be something worth complaining about? Share a story or two. What have come to be your expectations with online purchases, and maybe some unexpected realities?

For the next week or so, I'm going to be working with some people in a house that they believe is haunted. I could use some ideas for encouraging skepticism.
|
In the past, I would have simply made fun of them publicly. I'm much nicer now, and much more interested in changing people's minds than I am in ridiculing them.
I've been primed to expect very surprising things that might really surprise me with their ghosty, paranormally presence.
They obviously enjoy this vague fear they're feeling, and would probably back down immediately when I started talking about reality, but that wouldn't change their outlook in any way. I don't know that there's anything I could do to make them think more skeptically, but I'd love to hear suggestions.

I want to be able to play soccer again. How do I learn?
|
I’m an 18 year old guy and I want to be able to play soccer again. I played futsal in middle school and loved it, but in high school I didn't sign up for outdoor soccer because I didn't think I was good enough at it. I’ve tried playing again this year on an outdoor intramural team at my college, but I could never have imagined how terrible I am now. It looks like I've never played the game before!
I lack almost every skill imaginable to the point that its embarrassing to even get out on a field with other people because I can’t be relied on or even look like I remotely know that I’m doing. I’m missing almost every skill you need to play outdoor (air balls, trapping, positioning, you name it) and so I just end up spending the whole game marking my attacker (I play wing back) constantly so I don't make an ass out of myself.
I want to train myself solo this summer, so I can become competent enough to be considered decently passable to put on the field for next season where I can get better as I play. Any advice, techniques, training methods, you can give me are much appreciated.
**TL;DR** *Want to play soccer again. Been gone so long I’m almost completely useless. How do I get a basic enough grasp to be able to play on a team and look like I have a bit of a clue what I’m doing?*

Planetside 2 Screenshot analysis using PivotViewer (xpost from Planetside Universe forums)
|
**Original post by SurgeonX here. All credit goes to him/her.**
"I've put together a bit of basic analysis of a few PS2 screenshots using PivotViewer.
You can use it to view and sort through screenshots based on a number of criteria.
There's still plenty more pictures to add, and I need to tidy up some of the meta data, but it's an interesting way to delve into some of the screenies released so far.
For example, if you're wondering which aircraft has been given the most screen capture love, then the Reaver is way ahead vs. the Scythe and the Mosquito.
11 vs. 6 vs. 2
And why hasn't there been any concept art released for the VS females?

The GOP combined the politics of two incompatible groups: The Rich and the Religious
|
Starting during the 70s/80s (but can be traced to Eisenhower), the Republican party has created a new narrative, that helping the rich indirectly helps the poor get jobs. They use the susceptibility of religious voters to believing-without-evidence, to work directly for the interests of the wealthy. They should be incompatible because religions are generally social organizations that pool their money to help the poor and fight against gluttony.
So the Republican party is about helping the rich, but just by the natural tendency of religious people to believe in ideas without evidence or science to back it up, the Republicans had to integrate religious interests into their party, because they are the only ones left that would work for the interests of the rich for free.
This wasn't some genius strategy, it was actually quite natural and gives the illusion that this was a Republican strategy that was designed, but it wasn't designed this way.
Don't think that only Republicans in the US do this. Conservatives in many other countries, also naturally join the rich and the religious. Because every other type of voter either is not rich, or they don't believe in something without evidence or facts to back it up.
This is why many of the intelligentsia of the Republican party, has left the party. We're only left with the Republican pundits, celebrities, and politicians, who refuse to even acknowledge basic facts of economics.
**TL:DR:** The Republican platform today, has become thus, **a cult of the rich**. Where any sort of evidence that would dismiss their methods or ideas, are considered "the liberal enemy," and brushed off. But because it isn't framed as a religion, it attracts many different religious-followers--many of whom would never agree on religious theology.

First Track Day. A Little Nervous
|
Ok, I lied. I'm not just nervous, I'm also excited.
It's my first track day. I'm on a Ninja 250r. Second season, 2 crashes last year (lowside).
I'm a little intimidated, tbh. "What if I go too slow for the slow group?" and "What if I'm too dangerous?" comes to mind.
I'm also on stock tires. I'm sure it'll stick. It sticks when I hit the backroads.
Any tips? I'll probably be working on proper body position and throttle control. I'm not that interested in going too hard and too fast, nor am I interested in dragging knee.

Is a stress test before launch required?
|
Optimization is an ongoing process yes I know but last BWE it was still very heavy on the CPU. And recommended system requirements are yet to be released, would a stress test before launch be required? Making sure the game runs smoother when it makes more use of the GPU? No driver issues with Nvidia or AMD? Making sure the servers are up for it?
I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on this, and fingers crossed for a stress test even if it's just for a couple of hours.

[H] CIB Systems (1x Pokemon Limited Edition, 1x Berry) [GBC], Innovation Smash Controllers CIB NOS (Whac-A-Critter controller) [Genesis], Atari 800 Computer, Tandy 1000 EX Computer [W] Paypal
|
GBC Systems -
Smash Controller -
Trying to raise money for plane tickets to go to E3 so some of my precious items must go. =( The prices listed are what I'm estimating their value to be. Shipping is not included. I advise buyers to not use gift on paypal, but in the end it is up to you.
Pokemon GBC System $90 - System front is in great shape only 1-2 tiny scratches that I can see on the screen. I had to shine it in the right light to see. As obvious from the picture the back sticker is a bit messed up. There is also a slight mark across the battery cover, but it's only visible in the right lighting.
Berry GBC System $50 - System is in near perfect shape. You can see tiny usual scratches from use, but again only in the right light. Box front is in great shape, but there is some damage on the back from the sticker that kept it sealed. When I got the system the sticker was over the zelda screenshot, and I tried my best to remove it carefully.
Whac-a-Critter Smash Controller $60 each have 4 - These were sold to me as new old stock quite a while ago, and I sold some to a buddy who was selling them for $70-100 each on ebay. Considering how I need money I'm going to let the last of them go for $60. Only thing is I have to go back home to pick these up which won't be till next week. I took a picture of the one I have here to give you an idea of their condition since they're all roughly the same. Some might have slightly more damaged corners.
Atari 800 8-bit Computer $60 - Fully tested and working. Does not have a power supply included unfortunately. I need to keep it for my other Atari 8-bit computers, but they're fairly simple to find replacements.
Tandy 1000 EX $50 - About all I can say is that it boots and asks for a disc. Unfortunately I've never come across any software so I have nothing for this. So let's say it is sold as is, but possibly fully working. 95% of the old computer stuff I bought from this guy was fully working if that means anything.
Edit - Computer Pictures and Atari 800 update.
when I pulled the Atari 800 I realized something quite funny\disappointing. The break button had popped off. It goes back on and still functions, but it's quite stiff and occasionally falls off again. I'm going to update the initial post and price because of this.

Friend wants me to go to her baptism, help?!
|
My friend asked me to go to her baptism next Sunday, but I am atheist and bordering anti-religion. She keeps begging me to go, knowing I am atheist. So what should I do? I really don't want to go, but I also don't want her to think I don't accept her religion. My first thought was to make up an excuse as to why I can't go, but I was wondering what r/atheism thinks.
EDIT: Thanks everyone for responding, it sounds like the overwhelming majority think I should go, so I will.

When did the USA become the world naval power?
|
The British were obviously the worlds naval powers for a very long time, although others were desperately trying to catch up (Germany specifically) you can't just take that position easily by building a bunch of ships.
So my question. When did the U.S.A. overtake the British and become the world sea superpower it is today? No, I'm not from the U.S.A. My guess is sometime either during or after World War 2, did most European nations decommission much of their naval power or did America simply keep expanding theirs so much? Was there a specific policy to dominate?
Today
USA - 11 Aircraft carriers.
Rest of the world - 11 Aircraft carriers.
Obviously numbers don't tell all the story but America has the largest overall navy and most submarines too. I accept that there's a degree of speculation here, but I strongly doubt any country is close to the U.S.A. I'm guessing there's a big drop to 2nd place (China?).

Has anyone ever attempted to organize a mass planting?
|
This has probably been suggested sometime, but nonetheless. The idea would be a 'grass' roots movement where everyone involved promises to save their seeds for an entire year. Then on a specific date, around late April or early May to take advantage of the weather, they go out into their community and plant the seeds anywhere that they may grow undisturbed. If enough people take part in this, communities across the country will have plants growing all over town that officials would either have to accept or deal with. Either way, this would bring more attention to the idea of legalization.

Am I illiterate and correct or just completely wrong about this motorshield?
|
Ok, I've been harassing every possible outlet I could trying to determine how to make the adafruit motorshield work with the dfrobot 4wd chassis because the adafruit specs say its got a .6 A current draw and a 1.2A max. But the thing I didn't see is that it said "per bridge." This is where my question lies, since it says there are 4 h-bridges, does that mean it pulls 2.4 A regular and 4.8 A max? Which means that I was on a wild goose chase for a way to run this damn bot?
or am i over extending...

Can cancer be transferred in the womb?
|
I remember that there is some barrier for babies in the womb to protect them from pathogens but doesn't always work. And that later stages of cancer can spread to other parts of the body. If a woman has cancer, can that spread to the baby? Or if the baby develops cancer in the womb (my guess is very unlikely), can that cancer then spread to the mother?

How I fell in love with MLP:FiM
|
To celebrate my cakeday, I'm going to share my MLP story! :D
I have been browsing the Internet since I could first get my hands on the free computers at my local library to start browsing around. Thus, when MLP was becoming popular during Season 1, I started seeing the art, memes and general MLP:FiM discussion. I saw people berating bronies and supporting them. I found it amusing and thought people should be free to watch whatever show they want to, but didn't look into the show myself.
I later met an amazing guy who was working for a video game company. He was known for his trolling and humor. He shared with me a thread he had starting on his game's forums titled "An Important Announcement" with the only content of the post being one of the "Mods are asleep - post ponies!" pictures. Believing he was a brony, I started to become more interested in the show. I did some research and found people saying many awesome things about it.
After I developed a relationship with him, I asked if he wanted to watch the show with me. It turned out that he hadn't seen it at all yet! So we snuggled up and started watching. It was amazing, hilarious and exactly what I needed!
I was starting my senior year of my engineering major at the time and I was constantly stressed about various projects, to the point where I had a hard time sleeping. However, we started a custom where, whenever I'd visit, we'd snuggle up and watch one episode of MLP:FiM before bed. It was a life-saver! It fixed my mood, settled me down and allowed me to get good and pleasant rest!
Now that I've graduated and have started a real engineering job, I feel that stress once again and I just can't wait for Season 3 to help me chill out, be happy and enjoy life, no matter how stressful it is!

A year after we are married my wife informs me she hates the custom engagement/wedding ring I got for her. Reddit, have you ever had someone hate/dislike a gift that you thought was special but did not tell you til later?
|
My story goes like this. When I decided to ask my wife to marry me I thought it would be special to have a unique ring for her. My father used to be in the diamond/jewelery business so asked him to aid me in my quest. He so graciously donated some special diamonds and helped design a very beautiful ring. Well I proposed and she said yes and told me she loved the ring. We got married and after about a year she one day tells me that she doesn't like it and wants me to get her a new ring. Needless to say I was a little heartbroken because I really thought I out did myself with the custom ring.
This whole situation hasn't jeopardized my relationship with her but it still hurts.

Required time to hike Mount Angeles in Olympic National Park?
|
I'll be in Olympic National Park for two days next week and was hoping to squeeze a hike to the top of Mount Angeles into an already filled day. I've read that the climb is fairly easy and should only take about 3ish hours. But I've seen distance varying from 3 to 5 miles one way so I'm a bit concerned.
Would it be possible to start at 5-5:30 and finish before about 8 or 9? I'm in pretty good shape and can hike pretty fast if I so choose. I would run some of it if possible but I don't really want a camera dangling around.
Anyone hiked it before?

I am curious on how many people work 60-80 hours a week. I have a friend that consistently work 60-80 hours a week and he doesn't get overtime (he's salaried). Maybe it's only cuz I have been working for 2 years but I think it's kinda crazy to be working that many hours a week unless you are running your own business, a lawyer, or an up-and-coming doctor. He tells me he feels old on the inside and I would think it has to do with working 60-80 hrs on a regular basis. We are also both 24.

(22F) Want to ask out other guy(s) after little luck with the first one. How do I go about this gracefully?
|
I've asked out this guy (21M) I liked in class, but he didn't give me a clear answer and seems to be beating around the bush right now. I am not really sure what's up with that, and overall it kinda disappointed me. I am not even sure who is rejecting who here but I have pretty low hopes that the guy in question will grow some balls and go on a date with me so I intend to move on.
There are a few other guys I am interested in. I would like to ask them out, but I wouldn't want them to feel like they are being treated as second sort or something. There's actually a much bigger list than these 2, but I want to concentrate on them, so far. (note that I do not really value my first impressions. How a guy is at a date is far more important to me than how much I liked them on the surface)
One guy (21-22M) I know a bit better, we have talked multiple times about all sorts of stuff. We're vaguely aware of each other. He invited me for a beer once but I couldn't go due to driving problems. I know he's single, he knows I am single. We talk about each other's dating pursuits. He told me about a girl who turned him down, and I told him about the guy mentioned above.
He's a cool guy, quite attractive physically and intellectually. We agree on some philosophical points, we share a few things, and there are a few things we don't share. Quite balanced.
Another guy (1?-22M) I know little of, but I liked his attitude and he seemed like a really nice person. I've met him at a club this year. He's a bit skinny for my taste, but I could go past that, and he's actually very handsome. We've spoken to each other here and there and played some games together, he seemed quite friendly. With him there's a major problem, though, he's a "friend" of the guy mentioned at the beginning. I don't know how close they are as friends but they work for the club together so they probably converse a lot.
Not telling them about the guy at the beginning isn't really acceptable in my book. And we're all in the same melting pot so a lot of people know each other anyway.
My concern here is making these guys uncomfortable or putting pressure on them or making them feel bad or making me look like a bitch or whatever. I don't particularly care how the guy mentioned at the beginning feels about things, but I don't want to treat the other two wrongly.
So how do I ask them out/imply romantic interest with one of these two? I suppose this would basically be multidating if we include the guy at the beginning, and I never multidated and the idea is a bit iffy for me.
Overall, how do you continue asking new guys out after a few initial rejections?

Just found out this weekend that my 5.5yr old son has type 1 Diabetes. What are some things I may have in store that the doctors commonly overlook?
|
So after an extremely sleepless and scary weekend, my son was diagnosed with type one Diabetes. He was showing all the symptoms (That I know now.) when we brought him into the hospital. He could barely stand and he was so weak. His blood sugar was at 1300. Scariest moment of my life was when the many doctors helping him explained what was going on and how serious it was.
Fast forward three days later and he is at home and his mom is working on keeping things under control. (We haven't been together for quite sometime. Joint Legal custody is what I have.) No extra organ damage and his brain fortunately did not swell. His keytones have also went away. So for the most part he is on the road to becoming healthy.
The point of this post is just to ask everyone what I should prepare myself for aside from the overwhelming amount of information being presented to us. What are maybe some smaller issues / social issues that he may end up facing as he is only in Kindergarten right now. I am just extremely worried as I am sure most parents are in this first stage but would just like some perhaps nerve reassuring, suggestions of where to go from here.
Sorry for the semi vague question I am just flustered and honestly do not know the best way to handle things. Perhaps some shared experiences from other parents may help? I would just really like to know everything is going to be alright... He is honestly the sweetest boy I have ever known in my entire life and he is handling everything better than I could have ever imagined. I just want to show him that his dad can be as strong as him during all this..
EDIT:: I always think it is kind of cheesy for someone to edit an original post to add content or say thanks. But in this situation I can not think of any other way to show my gratitude towards this community. After a very long night of work with nothing else on my mind other than this past week it was extremely refreshing to read all of your comments and wonderful advice! I will no doubt be subscribing to this subreddit and will try to become more active in its interworkings. This is truly remarkable and I am sure I will have many more questions as soon as I am finished with this edit.

[Recipe] Banana-Oatmeal Pancakes. No sugar, 4.3g of protein, approx. 70 cals each.
|
I love pancakes. They are pretty much the quintessential breakfast food. I could eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner. Problem is that they are generally very carby, very starchy and very unhealthy. Look no further because here is an awesome recipe for healthy pancakes.
**Ingredients**
* 1/3 cup of Quick Rolled Oats
* 1 Over-Ripe Banana (should have a few brown spots)
* 1 tsp Baking Powder
* 1/3 cup of Egg Whites
* 1/2 tsp Vanilla
Put the quick rolled oats into a food processor/magic bullet/blender and blend until they are a fine consistency, sort of like chunky flour. Add the other four ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour mixture onto a non-stick skillet and fry until big bubbles form. Flip and cook for another minute.
Makes 4 pancakes.
**Nutrition** (per pancake)
*Calories: 70 - Total Fat: 0.6g - Carbs: 11.6g - Fiber: 1.6g - Sugar: 3.8g - Protein: 4.3*
I like to make a delicious sauce out of 1/2 tbsp of soy butter, 1/2 tbsp of maple syrup (light) and a dash of milk (adds up to about 80 cals). And then I top it with fruit!
This is a picture my sister took of the pancakes!
**Edit:**I should have said no added sugar. There is naturally occurring sugar in the bananas.

How have you experienced pokemon trainers changed since your early days?
|
Just a thought that popped into my head today and I began to think about what kind of a trainer I was almost a decade ago.
Some of the most prominent changes I noticed about myself were that back then I would have a full party of pokemon after the first gym, while now I make it past the fifth gym using only four or so pokemon. I also noticed that I never use potions/revives in battle anymore, regardless of how many I own, and I only catch pokemon using the standard pokeball while back then I would primarily use ultra balls.
So how about you guys? What are some changes you've noticed about your playstyle?

I have plenty of stories of people telling me I'm using steroids, dudes yelling across the bar about my "crazy muscles", and girls talking about the size of my pecs or biceps.
Last night I was on my way out of a bar when I walked by a very attractive girl (in a sundress) who eyed me up real quick and followed me out to where my buddies were waiting for me. She walked up to me and said, "Hey, can I touch your muscles?". I drunkenly said "Sure, why not" and she proceeded to caress my left arm. When she was done she looked up at me, smiled, said "niiiice", and I walked away.

I tried one of the lessons + dances at HaLo (with Century Ballroom) about a year ago, and it was alright but kinda empty and I'm still looking for the heart of the Seattle swing dancing scene. Was it just a slow night? Are there certain places/nights to look for?
My ideal dance is, say, a regular weekly dance which attracts dancers of all levels. Welcoming atmosphere is a plus! Oh, also, I'm not 21 yet...
I've been swing dancing for a couple years now at my college and am comfortable with the basics ...I'm at that plateau stage where I really just need to dance a whole lot (with lots of good dancers!) in order to level up :P
EDIT: Sunday nights at Century Ballroom]( confirmed to be lots of fun!! Definitely more crowded than the HaLo swing dance (the same guy taught us, lol), and more levels of dancers, varying from absolute beginner to pretty darn good, though maybe not world-class (I'm very comfortable with this though :P I will be going back). Next to try is [Thursday nights at The Russian...
DOUBLE EDIT: Also up next to try is kirkland swing, though this is a little ways away. Will keep updated! EDIT:.....ok, I tried this out but it was during jitterbug weekend so it wasn't as crowded as it usually is, but it seems pretty kickass
Also, I hit jackpot in terms of dance location/information:
Ok, I also recommend the Savoy Swing Club on Monday nights...that's it for now! Peace!

People are getting SUSPENDED when buying items on the RMAH. This is seriously unacceptable, Blizzard...
|
I personally got suspended TWICE today. Both from buying any item that more than $10 in value.
First time, have to get up early next morning, call customer support, wait for 45mins to get a hold and fix it.
The customer support guy told me that it won't happen again with my account.
And guess what, it happened to me twice. And it's over 2 hours of calling, I still haven't got a hold, can't login to Diablo 3.
Several threads from the official D3 battle.net forum:

Blood Angel's Librarian Conversion (WIP)
|
So I have recently seen some conversions that I really liked by asjarra on youtube. So I figured I would try my hand at it and this is what I have so far.
The shield if you notice has a missle in the center. I will add some fluff to say that it is his psychic power "blood lance" that he can pretty much point the shield and shoot it. The shield itself is really neat looking and I can't wait to paint it up. Wings and light on the shield are from dark angels bike squad.
The force weapon is a furioso dreads lance with a storm bolter and storm bolter clips attached up top. The handle is the staff from the Chaos lord mini box.
Head is from the Chaos lord box as well and the wings are from the death company box
Obvisously I have a bunch of green stuff work to do and a base for him but I am very pleased with what I have done in just a few hours.
Please let me know what you all think!

So, I'm not sure if anybody else here was aware of this, but here's an interesting stat about Jermichael Finley...
|
Today, he broke the Packers' single-season receptions record for catches by a TE.
According to this chart on pro-football-reference.com, Finley had 53 catches in 15 games this year.... and the record was 56, set by Paul Kauffman in 1979.
He had 8 catches today, putting him at 61.
Good job, Finley.

Although there are many views on intelligence, it doesn't seem to be one single definition that the entire scientific community agrees upon. What are your views on intelligence?
|
Short introduction to views on intelligence: Views on intelligence are very culturally dependent: While Eastern cultures often see intelligence in relation to society, history and external factors (E.g. How can a person solve a problem for his family), Western cultures tend to have a view on intelligence that relates more to the "self" (E.g. How can one person be good at school so that he can become successful). There are also differences in how people view intelligence in one society as well. Many people in one Western society may argue that there is only one intelligence that solves all of our problems (This relates to Spearman's idea of "g"), while others might argue that there are several types of intelligence (e.g. Numerical, verbal and emotional intelligence), which is useful in different situations.
I enjoyed the discussion in my psychology seminar, so I thought I would enjoy discussing it here on Reddit too.

Best friend has just admitted her boyfriend is scaring her and keeping her from their infant child
|
She is going to a shelter today to get help with getting a protection order and legal advice.
She is my best friend and I had to move out-of-state 2 years ago for a job. She met this guy and very quickly was pregnant. She told me this morning he has been emotionally abusive and verbally assaulting her. He screams at her, shaking like he's going to hit her, and when the baby begins crying, he stands between her and the baby and won't let her go near the baby. He tells her she is crazy, that it's postpartum depression and his behavior is normal and ok.
Yesterday she said they were fine, and then in the middle of the grocery store he goes off, screaming at her and berating her. She tried to leave and he followed her out of the store, screaming at her. She went back in and had to get security to walk her out to her car so she could go home safely.
She has no job, a 3 month old and has been receiving state medical insurance and WIC. She is utterly alone. She comes from and abusive family (physically, emotionally and sexually) and they support this boyfriend, of course. They keep telling her she is crazy and just likes to hold grudges. She half believes them, I am trying to make her see they are abusive and to distance herself from them, no matter how much she loves them.
She wants to come to live with me where I am but I am worried about the legal ramifications for her. She is in Arizona and his name is on the birth certificate. She gets governemnt support and if she leaves, she will lose her food stamps, and the baby will lose his medical coverage.
Is there anything else she should do or I should do? I am hoping the shelter can help take care of the legal aspects and help her on the road to getting full custody. They stated they were not sure the behavior was abuse and she will have to talk to CPS. This worries me.
I just don't know what else to do. Any advice is welcome.

Visiting New York for the first time tomorrow for one day. What are your suggestions, must do's, and advice?
|
Me and my friend are traveling to New York to climb at the gunks but have an extra day to kill before meeting up with the rest of the group so we decided to visit the city. Neither of us have been before so suggestions on the must see and do's that can be done in a day would be great. We're driving in from Indiana so will have a car that needs to be parked, any advice on this and how to get around would be greatly appreciated as well. We're trying to be pretty budget conscious since this was a last minute thing.

Are you in situations where guys try to complement you by insulting all other women?
|
I am a female that has a great deal of hobbies that have a majority male following: video games, metal, and nerd stuff. Consequently, most of my friends are male. Which is fine. However, from time to time I have to take these guys to task. Let me explain.
The other day I kicked the ass of most of my male buddies in a video game. One of them said, "You're cooler than other girls because most would just sit there with a controller and be like 'I'm a slut'." I think he thought he was giving me a complement or just joking around. But this pissed me off enormously.
Telling a girl that she is special, because all other girls suck is a huge insult to me. Insulting my entire gender is not going to make me feel special.
Yet I do sometimes bump into girls who are at a mostly male gathering, and they join in on the female bashing, sometimes more than the males.
I think us ladies need to defend one another, boost each other up. When our entire gender is insulted we all end up suffering.
This is what happens: as children, (at least in my day), boys got video games, guitars, legos, and soccer balls. All of which build spatial reasoning, creativity, and reflexes. In turn, girls get dolls, gel pens, new clothes, and make up. This all builds women up to concentrate more on the shallow platitudes of looking good and being popular.
I was lucky as a kid because my parents made sure I got both male and female toys for the holidays. As a result, I have a wider range of interests and abilities than both my male and female comrades. This does not make me better than them, it just means that I had more opportunities than other kids.
tl;dr: Are you in situations where guys try to complement you by insulting all other women?

Question For/Advice From r/lgbtrees [7]
|
So I was thinking about this subreddit, and thought of a sort of dilemma that I believe everyone who smokes, gay or otherwise, has to deal with. That being, involving marijuana in new developing social environments. I. Was curious what the gentlemen or ladies of this subreddit might have to suggest about how to figure out who is cool with smoking (like perhaps a new significant other), and who isn't, and how to ask?

My mom makes me feel ugly because of my teeth...help?
|
So hello everybody! I have, for the vast majority of my life, had gap teeth. I had braces early on in high school and was pretty religious about wearing the retainers afterwards for a year or so, but then came college and I just stopped wearing them. My front teeth separated, but aren't as bad as they were before the braces. I used to have really low self-esteem because of the gap (and a number of other reasons...), but I am now at peace with the gap. I actually kind of like it! My boyfriend likes it, people tell me it's cute, etc etc - I don't feel horrible about my teeth for once.
That is, until I talk to my mom. We'll be having a nice conversation about what I'm going to bring to school, for example, and this will happen:
Mom: "blahblhablahblahblahbl- you know your teeth are so split apart! It's so ugly! You could be so pretty but you're not because of your teeth! * rampage continues until I leave the room *"
She'll completely diverge from whatever conversation we're having to point out that I'm not "pretty" because of the gap.
I can see where she's coming from in that my parents invested money in my braces, but it really brings me down when I hear her say I'm ugly because of my teeth. This is one of the first times in my life that I'm actually confident, or at least able to fake confidence, but then my mom says stuff like this and it shatters everything. Not sure what to do about it because I don't feel like I can tell her that I like the gap (if I do she'll just go into another tirade of how ugly I'll look, etc etc). Any tips? How can I approach this? Or, on the other hand, how can I get over this fragile self-esteem? I know it sounds silly but if there's one person in the world that is supposed to think you're pretty, it's your mom right? I just feel really crummy about this whole thing. Sadface.
