What are your favorite 'best ways to think' and 'overcoming fear' type podcasts?
|
Having trouble finding some, at least good quality ones. Basically looking for some that talk about having the right mentality in life and overcoming the basic fears we generally have when trying to do 'scary' things (moving to a new city, approaching a cute girl, etc).

Can anyone help me identify the autograph on an Incredible Hulk TV poster? (x-post /r/whatisthisthing)

I found this poster on it. I can't tell what the signature is though so I don't know what it is worth. The poster is in a glass frame and it is permanently in there. It was obviously professionally framed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
**EDIT: it's solved! It says Lou Ferrigno and below it is "The Hulk." Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!**

Is there a taste difference between plastic bottled, glass bottled, metal canned, and fountain soda? If so, why?
|
Like it says in the title. I always thought fountain soda tasted much better than regular soda, followed by metal can, glass bottle, and plastic bottle. I mean the same brand of soda, just in different containers. Is this just placebo effect?

Which Bourbons should I try in an Old Fashioned?
|
I'm having a housewarming and using it as an excuse to try a fuckton of Bourbon in my prefered form, the Old Fashioned^1. I've got about 15 people coming and can buy around $200 - $300 worth, and I'd prefer higher quality^2.
My choices are, however, restricted to what I can buy from easy to access bottle shops, which means LiquorLand]( and [First Choice.
I personally quite enjoy Bourbon (Although not Jim or Makers), but some of my guests will be Neophytes. Which^3 high quality Bourbon should I try in order to get maximum Old Fashioned ability?
**1** Take a Rocks glass and add a tablespoon of simple syrup and a couple of dashes of bitters. Fill to the top with ice, then pour over a jigger of Bourbon. Stir until mixed and apply as balm to your soul, orally.
**2** I understand high quality does not have to mean Expensive
**3** I am already going to have Woodford Reserve and NOT have Makers Mark.

George Zimmerman's Domestic Violence
|
A quote from the new judge:
"“There’s different types of domestic violence,” Judge Lester said during a Nov. 18, 2011, hearing. “There’s domestic violence where somebody is on a routine basis hitting somebody or abusing somebody and there’s domestic violence when I say they reach a breaking point or snapping point or a boiling point. It appears to be the second type here where somebody’s reached a snapping point or a breaking point.”"
This judge gets it. Anyone who's been on the receiving end of a DV charge knows that the state will go to the ends of the earth to see you prosecuted, no matter how specious the evidence; that Zimmerman was found innocent of DV speaks volumes.

How can I search for and rename all .!ut files?
|
I have a problem which was caused by a buggy uTorrent that didn't rename .!ut files even though they were downloaded 100% and moved to the completed-downloads folder. The files are complete, their MD5 sums check out, but their file extensions haven't been renamed as they should have been.
Now I have approx 1000 of these files around in random directories, and I have wanted to rename them all. All files are with the file extension .zip.!ut
Could anyone help me out with this one?
I want to remove the .!ut from all the filenames within all subdirectories.
It shouldn't be impossible, but outside of my skills. That exclamation mark might pose an extra challenge to any wizard wanting to have a go at this :)

Why doesnt the goverment make people on welfare do some community service?
|
I always see everyone complaining about how people on welfare just sit around,tries to get knocked up to stay on welfare and doesnt try to get a job and leaches off the goverment. I know not everyone on welfare does this, but it still seems to be an issue alot have.
Why doesnt the goverment have people on welfare for an extended peirod of time and have no job, do community service to stay on welfare? Is it because then that becomes a "job" and they would have to have some other benifits like health care?
i'm not into politics or anything like that..but would this even be a workable idea? Or is there a better way to get the ball rolling to get people actual jobs?
EDIT: i suppose i should say, yes i know some people are on disability and are actually unable to physically work. i wasnt implying it was a cover all solution for everyone. just an idea for those that actually can work

He has great firepower if you gear him, but now I question if I am missing out on a lot of dialogue? I played both Balmorra and Tatooine to check with non-class quests. HK51 does not comment on anything. Should I use other companions so I dont miss out on anything, or is there nothing of interest?

I once stood in a bathroom stall with a complete stranger, just staring at each other. What is your most awkward public/private bathroom experience?
|
The public bathroom in my building is shared by 3 companies. It is comprised of 3 stalls and 2 urinals. I came in to do mah stuff, number 1 style, and noticed both urinals were taken. So I proceeded to a stall and just used it for a standing number 1. I left the door open since it was just a number 1.
This dude from another company comes into the stall, not seeing me, as I was zipping up. By the time he turned and saw me, I had finished zipping up and was just staring at him wondering what I do now. He, likewise, froze and just stared, not expecting to find some dude in his stall. There we sat for a very long 3 seconds not knowing what to do, when he calmly opened the door and walked out of the bathroom altogether, not completing his business. I washed my hands and left.

Why do mosquitoes lift their hind-legs when resting?
|
Lately I had the dubious pleasure of watching mosquitoes in the office, and noticed that, once they land on a surface (flesh or inanimate objects, horizontal or vertical), they invariably lift and curl their hind-legs, like in this picture.
* Is this real for all species of mosquitoes?
* Are there adaptive benefits?
* Does any other insect do the same thing?

Pre-Order prices based on countries
|
Hello, dear redditors.
It seems that if you wish to pre-order GW2, the price (for a digital copy) is judged by your selected country. Brits get the game for $80, Europeans for $70 and other countries (Zimbabwe, Congo, etc.) for $50. (Australia isn't allowed to pre-order yet.)
Is it punishable for a Brit or a European to set their country as Zimbabwe to get a better price?

Any good ways to put weight on a dog?
|
I need some advice on ways to get some fat on my dog. He's a 9 month chihuahua and he's a bit skinny, not horribly so it's noticable against other chihuahuas, especially against those in the show ring. I feed him three times a day, if he'll eat it, but he's pretty fussy and if I give him too much for one meal he won't eat the rest. Does anyone know of anything I can give him which will just put fat on?
He's on Burns dog food at the moment, tried him on Royal Canin but he won't eat it.

Can poor DPI damage your wrist?

Hey guys lately I've been having some pain in my mouse wrist, And I'm curious. Can a poor DPI setting possibly damage your wrists? I'm using a Razer Imperator with the Golithus Speed. My Mouse DPI is 2000 and mouse sensitivity in SC2 is 45%. And it seems I cannot find a comfortable setting, can a poor setting tire or damage a wrist? I either find the lower DPI the poor mouse speed obviously, it seems like I have to work harder to move it, and the higher, better speed of course and poor control, that seems to strain my wrist personally. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Trying to get my wife to read something other than Twilight
|
My wife is a well educated woman of 27. She loves Twilight, I don't know why, but also recently devoured the Hunger Games trilogy. The interesting thing about it is that she also loves books such as "The Devil in the White City" by Erikson and books about mobsters in the early 20th century.
Normally, when I suggest a book for her I go up and down the aisles of the library and pick out what I think looks horrible and she ends of loving it. Can you help me find something that will get her out of the YA section?
Update: She started Neverwhere and loves it!

Have $100 to spend on my 2 kids for a Christmas present. What should I buy?
|
I have 2 kids, (ages almost 1 and almost 3) whose grandpa sent them each $50 for Christmas. He said it would be nice for us to spend it on them (as opposed to a savings account) and let him know what they got, send pics, etc. He wants them to enjoy a toy or something from their grandpa. So...any ideas? We're getting them a play kitchen for Christmas, and they just got 2 bean bag chairs for their playroom. I was thinking maybe a little bike for my 3 year old, ($45 at Walmart) but still unsure, and I'm stumped for my little one. Any bigger toys that your kids enjoyed, and were worth the money? I can spend $100 on one thing for the both of them, or $50 each. Thanks!

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are trying to set up a fenced-in area for some sheep...
|
but they have a limited amount of building material. The engineer gets up first and makes a square fence with the material, reasoning that it's a pretty good working solution. "No no," says the physicist, "there's a better way." He takes the fence and makes a circular pen, showing how it encompasses the maximum possible space with the given material.
Then the mathematician speaks up: "No, no, there's an even better way." To the others' amusement he proceeds to construct a little tiny fence around himself, then declares:
"I define myself to be on the outside."

Good guy Christian Jimmy Carter knows how to keep his faith and leave others alone.
|
Just read an interview with former US president Jimmy Carter and was impressed with some of his live-and-let-live points, as well as his common sense:
1. He's a trained nuclear physicist, and does not try to undermine scientific discovery. Believes god created the universe, but doesn't refute proven scientific evidence. It looks to me like he feels like figuring out where god fits in the universe is his problem -- not science's problem for showing where he isn't.
2. Believes there's nothing wrong with homosexuality or gay marriage (as a civil ceremony). Says Jesus never mentioned it, and it was well known of at the time. Only believes that each congregation themselves establish whether they perform the ceremonies or not according to their tenets. What a great compromise. What right does any religion have to influence the policies that govern, and what right does the government have to influence the tenets of religion (within reason -- human sacrifice is still a no-no)?
3. Takes "judge not lest ye be judged" seriously. Denounces those who believe they are closer to god than others. Another home run. To me it seems he feels it is more noble for him to follow the tenets his faith, rather than telling other people how they're failing at them.
I love how this guy keeps his personal faith personal. It clearly does wonders for him, and I couldn't be happier for him. He has his way I have mine, but I learned something from his example. There are many roads to being a good person.
Good work Mr. President! Hope the liver is getting better.

Should I start eating more?
|
I'm a 30 year old male who started at 260lbs back in June and currently sit at 190lbs. For the first 5 months or so, I focussed solely on diet but for the last 2 months I've been also working out (doing P90, not P90x but the first one.) Over time I've slowly reduced my daily calories from about 2000 a day to right around 1600 now.
Lately I've been finding myself hungry a lot more. For months I was never really hungry, eating basically the same thing every day on a set schedule. I assume that this is because my metabolism is working harder due to me working out but my question is should I maybe start eating more calories to satisfy the hunger or should I just keep doing what I'm doing until I hit my goal weight (which was originally 180 but may drop to 170-175.)

Dog that eats things off of the counter and is also really attached and follows me around the house VERY closely

Also the following me around the house is VERY annoying. I like how he's in the same room, but if I walk 5 feet back and forth over and over he follows. He ends up tripping me while trying to follow me.

Should I tell my boss I'm a chronic procrastinator?
|
Yet again I'm in the position where I have to do a crazy amount of work over the weekend to meet a Monday deadline. I've basically done nothing in the last month.
Intellectually, I know what I should be doing (I've read and that I'm so much happier when I'm working consistently, but just can't seem to break the cycle.
I can so identify with people who get depressed, struggle with weight issues etc. - I don't get that but can definitely see that the patterns are the same.
So should I tell my boss I need a close eye? Usually my office is quite laissez-faire and we get lots of work to do before a long deadline. If I tell him, my productivity will probably go up, but it'll probably affect my job prospects pretty badly that I lack this self discipline.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Landlord and Money issue...need some advice.
|
So I live in a house right now, there's NO Lease (month to month), it's fairly cheap, and a couple of my roommates just moved out, leaving us with the payment. Which is fine because the Landlord in the past has kept rent the same even though he wasn't meeting his minimum mortgage payment. However:
Now that he has LOST HIS JOB (yeah...), he is making my other roommate (his son) and I almost DOUBLE our payment so that we can meet the mortgage payment. Here's the thing though: I brought a couple different people into the house to make rent 'cheaper', but when they moved in, rent stayed the same. So now that they have moved OUT, it would stand to reason that rent would also stay the same, but just because the Landlord no longer has a job, he demands more money which is completely illogical. This however, is not my question; I'm just typing this to show you this man's logic (or, yes, lack thereof).
My real dilemma is this:::
He has been a terrible Landlord. Our front door is broken, our heat has been broken all winter, our air conditioner has the intellect of a crash test dummy, the water heater is bipolar (sometimes hot sometimes cold showers!), and he obviously has not fixed any of it. And when he DOES stop by, he takes things, like the dish rack and furniture. He's a real unprofessional guy. And NOW I found out the house is being foreclosed and I have to move out by the end of April...and guess how we found this out? By a piece of mail from the bank sent to a DIFFERENT house (co-owners or something. I don't know the direct relation but the point is that we wouldn't even have known about the foreclosure!). I've tried to contact my Landlord and his phone is 'out of service,' so he has not even let us know this!
SUPER stressful situation, and if it wasn't for the bank sending the OTHER address some mail saying "Hey, pay or get out" then I would have people legally breaking into my house and takin meh stuffz. Not cool.
So, because of all this...What do I do about rent? Do I pay him my normal amount? Or do you think that because of this situation I should actually just tell him "uh yeah no" on rent? I feel like there are arguments to be made for both sides but I'm kind of torn on what to do. So this is why I come to you!
[Suffice it to say, I'm glad I'm moving out.]
TL;DR - Horrible Landlord who demands MORE money for rent but now house is being foreclosed and he didnt even let us know, SO; should I pay him, or tell him 'tough luck!' [as I move out of course]?
Still TL;DR - Come back to reddit when you graduate the 3rd (third) grade.

Hey Redditers of Montréal, tonight I got my bike stolen, I then met the thief and need your help to get him caught.
On my walk home from work I saw a man carrying an orange rusty hand saw getting into a car with bike parts in the back seat. (a large indian man in a sleeveless black t-shirt) dark grey 4 door with plate starting with 4XB- i think). To clear up any doubts I had about his guilt he started yelling at me about looking at his car, then followed me to continue yelling at me about looking at his car. I think we can help make Montreal a safer, friendlier place by helping catch petty criminals like this one. If you saw this guy with bikes of his saw or a combination in the McGill area (dans le coin de Hutchinson, Milton, Aylmer, Sherbrooke O.) please let the police know. I know I was not the only one who lost their form of transportation tonight and can't afford to replace it! Please report people cutting bike locks if you see it!
As for this sad and angry first time poster, I will be going to the police station tomorrow.
I know there are definitely more important causes out there, after all a bike is not a person, but that doesn't make it OK, I am... or was... very attached to my bike, it let me discover lots of great places and people.
Sorry if this is all full of rambling, I will stop typing and go to bed now.
Edit: Here a picture of my bike: thank you everyone for your help!

SO's friend is moving in and I feel like I'm losing my weekend recharge time - any advice?
|
Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a long time but never posted before...made this account just for the purpose. I have a problem that I don't think anyone but you guys will be able to fully understand, so here goes...
I've been dating my boyfriend for almost two years now. A little over a year ago he got his own house, and I've been staying over with him every weekend since (I was spending prior weekends with him, but it was at his parents' house instead). I plan on moving in with him once I graduate and find a job so I can contribute financially.
Recently my boyfriend's best friend has fallen on some hard times with his family, and since my boyfriend has an extra room in his house, he offered his friend that room for monthly rent until he can find his own place.
The problem is that there is now going to be a roommate living in the house, and possibly his girlfriend fairly often (not sure how often), and I'm definitely an introvert. I need my me time. It's taken a very long time to get to the point where I'm able to recharge with my boyfriend there, and I just don't see the same thing happening with his best friend there.
I'm kind of panicking because I feel like I'm losing my home. Since I'm still a student and don't have a job, I can't contribute financially to the house, and so I have no financial grounding to say what can or can't go on in the house. But I feel emotionally that it's my house as well, and my boyfriend has done nothing but make me feel extremely comfortable and warm in the house, basically like it's our shared house. Plus it's inevitable that I will move in, just not yet. We also have two pets together in that house. BUT...I only live there on the weekends and again, no financial say.
So what do I do to feel less robbed? The best friend was one thing, but now having his girlfriend stay over on weekends when I'm there...I can't imagine anything worse for my recharge time after a long week at school than to come home and have to entertain guests multiple nights in a row. I really don't know how I'll be able to recharge when I feel like I'll have to be performing in a place I consider my home, at least part of the time. Though to be honest, even the idea of them being up in his room feels uncomfortable when this has been my safe space and basically my and my boyfriend's house for the past year.
Some other pertinent information: I don't know if my boyfriend is an introvert or extrovert, perhaps somewhere in the middle. He doesn't really understand my me time or recharging when I'm alone - I've been trying to help him understand but it's slow going. When I told him my concerns, he didn't really understand why I would have issues or why it felt to me like I would be performing. I plan on talking to him again but I wanted to ask if anyone here had had similar experiences or any sort of advice on what to say to him/how to make myself feel better about the situation. It's a temporary situation as his friend will move out, but even the thought of spending the summer like this makes me panic.
Thanks very much for reading my long post. I would be so grateful for any advice, and please let me know if I forgot any important details!

Tools needed (freeware) when learning GameDev?
|
Greetings all,
I have a (hopefully) simple question.
What tools should someone need to know when wanting to start off self teaching for Game Development? I am fairly sure that C++, something like Blender, and photoshop would be a good place to start. But what else would be a good idea to look into?
I'm still deciding on if I want to turn my idea into an RTS or a 3d RPG. So what would I need to focus on to do one of those formats?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!

The remix engine on imported tracks/streamed playlists
|
To me it seems to be kind of broken, if I have the remix engine on sooner or later during the run I will experience, as some people have previously stated, that the custom songs will start to 'glitch' or sound corrupted. I'm not sure how to describe it, but just that it doesn't seem to work properly without screwing up the track itself.
Now, if I turn the remix engine off there are never any hiccups in the tracks. It seems that it's not the songs themselves that are screwing up, but the remix engine isn't working properly with custom songs.

Is it gay to participate in a gang bang with 5 men using 1 woman?
|
I have been invited to participate in a gang bang, of the sort you might see in a variety of pornography videos. Apparently this very slutty woman has always wanted to try this sort of thing, so her and her "sex buddy" are arranging it for her. I am friends with one of the guys invited, and he in turn has invited me.
Now, I have to admit I do enjoy viewing this sort of pornography and the idea of participating in this does turn me on, but it also occurs to me that in addition to the naked slutty woman there will be other naked men there and their erect penis' will in close proximity to my own erect penis, and I will probably witness most of them ejaculate. With a crowd like that working on one person, I also have to admit the probability of accidental contact with other penis'.
It is worrying me that being that sexual with and near other men can be construed as gay, even though we are all fucking the same woman. Reddit what do you think?

[TW: Groping] What the hell happened to me last night?
|
I'm just gonna keep this short because I don't want to think about it too much.
Last night I was out at a crowded bar with some friends (the awesome queer/feminist/progressive type of friends :) ), and I was decently drunk. Not pass-out-on-the-bathroom-floor drunk, and not I-don't-know-my-own-name drunk, but just regularly drunk for a saturday night.
Anyway, ended up on the dance floor, which was very crowded, just dancing a little bit, and this big fedora dude comes up behind me and grabs my body. He just put his arms around me and literally grabbed my chest, my stomach, and my genitals. I couldn't even move with his hold around me and all the people blocking my way.
But the scary part is that according to my friends, who were doing their best to scowl at him menacingly from a few feet away, he kept doing this for about 10 minutes and I barely remember any of it. I vaguely remember what he looked like and I vaguely remember feeling really violated, but I'm missing most of those minutes from my memory.
I don't think it was the alcohol, because I remember pretty much everything else from the night. And I'm fairly sure I had already blocked it out by the time I snapped out of it, because I didn't talk about it when I got back to my friends.
Right now I feel unbelievably angry that this literally fedora-clad shitlord felt it his right to hold onto my body and not let me go for a prolonged period of time without my permission. Without even fucking _saying_ anything to him.
It scares me because I'm usually quite confident with people, and I can deal with turning down strange men in bars, but for some reason
I just froze with this.
I just want to know why I froze and why I don't remember it. Why did I shut down and stand still while it was happening? I couldn't even say "no" or "stop", which I'm sure made it worse because he probably thought I wanted it then.
Ugh. I'm just babbling at this point so I'll finish, but I'd like to know if any of my srsters have experienced this before. Particularly trans* srsters.

Image sharpness and objects 4+ miles away
|
Sorry, this may come off as some sort of trolling or something - it isn't.
I love skyline/landscape photography. I really love sharp, vibrant skyline photography. A lot of my attempts at it wind up with less-than-stellar results, primarily because the buildings in the photo never look sharp and crisp.
I'm trying to figure out if that's the reality of photography and if I have unrealistic expectations, whether the (admittedly) lower-end lenses I'm using are the culprit, or something else?
My skyline photos are taken around 4-5 miles out from the core of the downtown, and I shoot with a D5000. Thoughts?

Why is it so hard to disconnect from Facebook?
|
I am finding that more often than not I am really just sick of Facebook. It is simply just friends, family, and acquaintances posting garbage about their lives or insight into their views and opinions. I feel like it's really just a popularity contest and a lot of what is posted is just bogus bullshit made up for attention. Or at least many truths are stretched or fabricated to receive that attention.
So why am I finding it so hard to just say fuck it and quit? My main reason for staying is because it is a way to stay in touch with friends and family that live 2500+ miles away from me. I have a young child and another on the way, a husband deployed, and no close friends here. A lot of times (like today for instance) I'd love to just pack up a little with my son and drive away for a few days and never look back. But above all I wish i had the will power to say fuck social media.
So why is it so damn difficult?! Why do I have such a strong urge to continuously check Facebook and then get annoyed and log off? It's like I can't stop wanting to check. Has anyone else ever felt like this?! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Is Karezza the answer for guys in relationships doing NoFap?
|
Hey guys(and a few gals), thought I'd pose this question see what response I got.
Recently, my girlfriend and I found out about this practice called "karezza" that involves non-orgasmic sex. Not fapping is one thing when you're getting laid but at the same time, you're still giving you're energy away. Having sex 3 - 4 times a day has about the same effects(for me) as fapping. It depletes my energy, effects my mood, and effects how I think about my woman. Karezza has been used by couples for a while and you can find out more here:
Are there any guys out there who have used this method to retain their sexual energy while strengthening their relationship? It seems like the Coolidge Effect wouldn't just happen with fapping. At the same time you want to refrain from expending energy orgasming, you have to keep your girl happy. What do you guys think?

Changing 'last opened' date on Macbook Pro
|
Hi, does anyone here know if there is a way to change the 'last opened' date on a Mac? I've tried using terminal commands, but the touch -mt command seems to only change the date created and date modified. I read that you need an -a tag to change the "access" date (last opened), but either I'm doing it wrong or it doesn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I've been downloading Dota 2 for two days now...
|
After spending two days downloading Dota 2 (my internet it very slow) it was at 95% tonight. I decided I would "pause updating" on Dota 2, and check how much I have left to download of Metro 2033. I resume updating Metro 2033 long enough to see that it is at 80%. Then I pause it and resume downloading Dota 2..
It tells me it is 0% downloaded... It's at 8% now. Sadface...
I have to say, however, I'm very happy with the recent free stuff I've been getting. Metro 2033 is, of course, free. And I got Dota 2 from a kind Redditor who had extra copies. Even just now, I got a guest pass for Diablo III.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have Dota 2, but now it will take another two days to finish downloading!

New Player here. Why do players repeatedly draw selection boxes and spam mouse clicks?
|
So, I'm pretty new to the game. I have been watching plenty of SC2 videos and streams (watching more than I play, currently), and I noticed that a lot of players seem to repetitively draw selection boxes around their units. Also when moving units they spam the mouse clicking when surely one click would suffice. It looks to me like a lot of unnecessary duplicate actions. Can someone explain this?

Came into my head the other day it might be an interesting read for a comic to follow a group of people (or several groups) that you know one of them is the superhero of the title but you don't know who.

More sea-wildlife and some biome-specific animals!
(and more)
|
I'd love to see some new animals in the sea. For a long time, the only thing living in the seas have been squids, which makes the oceans seem kind of empty kinda. The new mob(s) could be the long awaited visible fish, or something aggressive like sharks. Also, more of those biome-specific animals like ocelots. That could be scorpions/snakes for the desert, or perhaps birds in the forests.
Anyways, i have always dreamt of those explosive arrows Notch mentioned in that documentary short by 2playerproductions. That would seriously be cool!
I just wanted to get those ideas aired, might be that someone like them.
EDIT: Also, as suggested in the comments, monkeys in the jungles would be genious!

American Redditors: How do you deal with spoiled rotten Trick-Or-Treaters?
|
I live in an affluent area of a major metropolitan city, and I have never seen so many overbearing, entitled, snot-nose brats. Most of the trick-or-treaters who stop by are good kids, polite and grateful for whatever treat you give them. But every Halloween, there are several whiny little spawn of Satan who I want to run through with a pitchfork.
This year, I'm prepared. I'll hand out my usual fistful of assorted bite-size Snickers, Reece's, Tootsie Pops, Nestle Crunch, Sweet Tarts, and Butterfingers. But I also have a secret weapon: a big goddamn bowl of fruit. Think my candy selection sucks? Here, have an apple. Upset that it's fun-size, not full-size? This banana's 5x bigger! Whining that the kid ahead of you got more candy? Have a cantaloupe; now you've got the heaviest goody bag on the block!
What are your tips for dealing with these pint-sized punks?

[29/m] My wife [29/f] bullies me, has frequent tantrums, rarely trusts me and has become increasingly controlling. Advice?
|
This is a throw-away...
We've been married 3 years, but dated for 8 years prior, and have a 1 year old baby. She's always been a little uptight, but over the past 2 years this behavior has increased to the point that not a day goes by without an argument or tantrum developing based around issues of control & trust, although she will never admit that is the case. I've mentioned that this behavior bothers me but she almost always tells me that it's a result of what I do (or don't do) in our relationship. If the issue isn't tied up in something I've done to draw out this behavior in her, then it's because she's feeling overwhelmed with work/our baby/family obligations/etc. and she'll have an emotional meltdown and will clam up and cry. In my head I think it's unfair that she does this, but to tell her that (and I have told her that during the crying) always leads to a bad place and more fighting. Basically I've never been able to calmly talk to her about the issues I have without her throwing an angry, emotional tantrum or finding a reason that she's validated in doing what she has done.
The complicated part of all of this is that she does do a lot. She works a demanding job as a teacher, she cooks, does laundry, takes care of our finances, takes great care of our baby, etc. I do a lot as well, but the difference is that she uses the things she does to validate her explosive behavior. I'm not saying I don't get in irrational, bad moods because of the stresses in life, but if she calls me on it I don't try and bull through what she says and claim that it's OK. I might not want to talk about it, but I at least process that I'm in the wrong and that I need time to cool off. I feel like she still thinks she's validated in acting out after the dust settles.
I get a lot of, "Well how do you expect me to act when I deal with shit-head students all day, then come home and cook dinner, do laundry..." on and on. I feel like it's unfair of me to say, "I had a bad day with the project I was working on, and then I had to go pick up [our daughter] from daycare and rush back to get on a conference call...so what do you expect?" But for her to say something similar is fine.
I don't think her perception is accurate or fair, but feel like I'm unable to communicate this because she almost always perceives what I say as an attack that she needs to defend herself from (as opposed to listening and trying to troubleshoot and work together based on the concern). I admit I don't always phrase everything correctly, and have been having trouble staying calm lately as this becomes more of a common occurrence, but I have noticed myself walking on eggshells with almost all of our interactions lately.
I just tried to call her on this behavior about an hour ago and it ended with her storming out when I brought up why I was upset. I assume we need counseling, but when it has been brought up in the past she is hesitant about going because she thinks she's going to get ganged up on. I'm all for the idea because I've found she only acts out around me. When we have disagreements and a third party is around, she at least will talk out the issue instead of just responding emotionally and blowing up. Do you have any advice? What is the best way to approach counseling? Is there something I'm not seeing? I'm purposely not including tons of examples that illustrate her behavior because this is already long, but I can explain more if I've left things out. Thank you.
tl;dr: my wife is increasingly uptight, and very controlling but refuses to talk to me about our bad relationship without an emotional blowup, tantrum, or rationalization/blame rant.

You click the link and follow to the article which describes years of research by well-known, reputable scientists, and that these findings will now guide all world health organizations, with treatment regiments being developed and implemented already.
Specifically, it was found that all those who experienced any kind of religious feelings, communications with their gods, etc, were all either the person's mind experiencing a simulacrum of what a deity would be like or a misunderstanding of their highly emotional state.
**Please respond with the assumption all the above is true.**

I don't think PB was jealous
|
I don't think she was. In the beginning when Jake mentions that Finn has a lady friend PB doesn't seem jealous, she seems curious. She wasn't jealous and tried to explain to Jake that the fate of the Earth rested on FP not developing romantic feelings because it would doom the Earth. That's a legit reason. When she refers to Finn as "my hero" I don't think it was possessiveness as much as I think it was admiration. Admiration for all the things Finn has done, and what she thought he would do by breaking up with FP. At the end when she tells Jake to Shut up, I think it was more annoyance than jealousy, she was tired of being put into a love triangle situation, that for her, didn't exist. Just my take.
TL;DR: PB not Jealous

[UPDATE] My boyfriend makes me cry, but not in the way you'd think.
|
Original Post
So, the other night, my boyfriend and I were making love, and when we were done, I felt that surge of emotion again. I just let go, like a few of you told me to do. He was holding me, and when he saw my tears, he stroked my face and said, "Well someone is just a big ball of emotions tonight."
I smiled, and I decided to talk to him about it.
"I'm not sad," I said, "I just love you a whole lot. I've never felt this way about anyone before, and it's a lot to handle. So I cry."
He smiled, then a sliver of tears showed up in *his* eyes!
"I feel the same way sometimes, I've just been stopping myself from crying. I didn't want you to think I was a sissy or something."
We layed there in each other's arms, kissing and stroking each other's hair, crying. It was single-handedly the most beautiful experience I've ever been a part of.
tl;dr I had Super Cryfest 2012 with my wonderful boyfriend.
EDIT: WOW, guys, I didn't think this would get so much attention! Thanks for all the kind words!

I just fought the Czar dragon in ff6 and now found out that I shouldn't have even encountered it.
|
I was playing through ff6 again and I'm nearing towards the end of the game. My party is around lv40 on average and I decided to go to the arena to get an exp egg. I haven't been to the arena up until now and so I thoroughly scout out the place for items. When entering the arena, I head to the left room where there is one treasure chest so I decide to open it for what I remember to be an elixir. I dunno if it is or was since it has been a while since I've played but I open the chest and get the message, "monster-in-a-box!"
The battle starts and I encounter the Czar Dragon. I hadn't known about this enemy until after the fact so I just treat it like a normal boss battle. I tried to cast Scan but it didn't work on the enemy and he managed to kill two party members in two hits. I have Terra use Freeze on him and it hits with success, freezing him. I then revive my two fallen members and have Celes cast Life 3 on the party while Sabin and Gogo use Bum Rush. Every 20-30 thousand points of damage I deal to him, he would use wall change and break out of the freeze and kill a few party members again while I had Terra re-freeze him.
This process repeated for 30 min and I finally beat him when he used Ultima to kill my entire team but was resurrected by Life3. He then performed a few more attacks which left me with just Celestial and Saban then the battle was won. However I didn't win anything.
I thought it was strange for so much effort to go without reward and just now decided to look up the Czar Dragon and see what I should have picked up when I found out that my encounter should not have happened at all. That the Czar Dragon is an unused boss for the game and is impossible to fight unless you play the GBA version which I did not.
I'm not sure, but I'm pretty confused and Psyched I beat a video game urban legend. If I can, I'll restart the game and see if I can't record it.

I know in the Aubrey and Chuck WoW commercials they had different models for the humans and orcs and they looked really nice.

Reddit, what was your favourite experience in Oblivion?
|
I was thinking about how back years ago, when the game first came out, my brother got for his birthday. I walked in on him playing it, and never really being interested in video games, I casually asked him what he was doing. He replied that he was shopping, and I was instantly intrigued. We spent the next 12 hours with his Argonian character exploring Cyrodil. This experience introduced me to gaming and is a fond memory of mine. So Reddit, what is your favourite Oblivion memory, in the game or in some way the game has affected you.

I'm looking to start a professional grow op. Where should I go?
|
Should I go to Denver, Hawaii, Portland?
Where would you go and why?
Is there some place that I can research the laws regarding how secure your operation has to be?
What steps do I need to take?
Is it feasible to start a home grow op, sell to dispensaries, then go warehouse?

is there anything that gets you high?
|
only by ingesting it a certain way?
I was listening to mellow yellow and read up about it and that it was a rumor you could get high off smoking banana skins. But its just a rumor. And that funny prank where you tell people you can get high by rubbing tooth paste on your nipples.
But that made me think, is there anything that only gets you high one way? something thats real? Or if it can get you high one way, should it get you high all ways (eating, smoking, rubbing on your skin in big enough quantities)

(Spoilers ASOS) Help with EPUB Edits
|
Hello. I am editing my ASOS epub after discovering Sigil. I was wondering if any book owners can help me.
I Chapter 7, Jon, Mance's song is indented and italicized. The first verse is four lines, then a normal paragraph, then the second verse.
In my EPUB, everything from the second verse all the way to the end of the chapter is italicized, starting on:
> Beside the brazier, a short but immensely broad man sat on a stool, eating a hen off a skewer.
I corrected the font styles and left just the song italicized. I was wondering if I'm missing italics made by GRRM for emphasis.
Same issue with Chapter 15, Jon, just after:
> For when I am gone the singing will fade,
> and the silence shall last long and long.
Thank you.
**tl;dr:** Need help making sure I did not remove italics used for emphasis in ASOS chapters 7 and 15.

What movie(s) have you walked out on?
|
Years ago I walked out during the end of Very Bad Things and I recently walked out of Killer Elite. I also once saw a group of young men hurl their popcorn and drinks at the screen right before they walked out of David Cronenberg's Crash.

Do any of you masturbate to friend's Facebook photos? If so, how do you justify it to yourself?
|
I could never do this myself, so I'm curious about people's motivations for this. I don't do it because I feel most people post photos to Facebook in good faith that people won't be jacking off to them.

[TOMT] show i watched as a kid, in which two siblings are separated after an accident and then become friends without knowing they are related [tv show/movie]
|
Trying to explain this to a friend and realized i couldn't remember what show it was from ! Maybe helpful to know i thought it was power rangers for the longest time? but after some research i couldn't find any proof of this.
**What I remember**
a scene where two friends realize they're related (they may have been dating, i don't remember. but one was male and the other female).
from what i can recall the scene cuts to flashbacks of some sort of accident resulting in a father and these two siblings near a cliff, i think they were hanging from it but again, i dont really know. The father could only save one of the children, so he saves the one and assumes the other dies. but then hey meet up again years later and it turns out the one who the father didnt save was rescued by some strangers or something.
this is really bothering me, i would love to know where this memory is coming from !

As a NC Native, I urge all non-natives to spam our state tourism agencies and government with why you will not have anything to do with our state!
|
The local media is already starting to report that tourist areas, such as the outer banks, are reporting calls and letters stating that people were done with visiting our state. I have also seen reports of boycotting local businesses over the issue. I support all of this. There is no excuse for this bigoted behavior.
I urge all of you who frequent NC, never come here, or used to live here to let all of the media, tourism agencies, businesses, and government in NC why you will have nothing to do with our state until this discrimination has stopped. We need to reap what we sowed, and it is up to you, Reddit, to do it!

Who can help me find this movie? I vaguely recall a small bird bathing in sand, named Musashi.
|
I must've watched this movie about 20 years ago, when I was Very Little. My recollection is of a young kid, Japanese style sliding paper doors, and a little bird taking a sand bath. The bird was named Musashi. I do not recall what language the movie was in.
My sibling and I call birds bathing in the sand "Musashi" because of our recollection of this movie. Only much later did we find out Musashi is the name of a Japanese sword maker.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Opinions on buying a 2005 Chevy 1500? need help
|
Hey all,
I have a 2001 Dodge Cummins, fully loaded - but need to sell. It has had a plethora of problems in the last few months, so I'm selling it without questions.
Being a Dodge guy, I was initially leaning towards getting an '02-'05 Ram 1500, just because I don't need the diesel. That being said, a brother in law's auto-detailing business recently received a customer who began chatting with my brother in law about offering to sell his Chevy Silverado 1500 to me.
From what my bro has told me, the truck is a 2005, 5.3 liter (could be the 6.0) fully loaded, 108k, four door, shortbox. It needs a new windshield/tires, but he only is asking $7000. My father happens to be in the same town as my brother in law for the next week or so, and is willing to pick the truck up for me, whatnot.
My biggest hesitation is the fact that I've grown up a Dodge guy, this truck sounds very appealing, but I'm just not sure about the reliability of Chevy trucks, since I've never really been exposed to driving them.
Is this a pretty solid truck from the sounds of it? I'm mainly focused on longevity, as I'm not one for Brand wars - I'd be fine with owning a Chevy, as long as I knew it was going to last me awhile. Are there any infamous problems with this era chevy?
tl;dr - can buy Chevy 1500, good shape, fully loaded, unsure of Chevy's reliability, build quality, etc.
thanks so much for reading and giving any advice.

hey /r/assistance. My friend is in a contest and could use your help. All it takes is a small vote.

My friend entered a contest with her boyfriend for a scholarship contest on facebook, and is looking for people to vote on it for her. If anyone can take the time to vote for her, she'd really appreciate it.
All you'd have to do is follow the link below and click "vote" above the picture. That's all, I believe. If anyone could help her out with this, that'd be really great. Thank you!

Going to be running a D&D campaign and I'm wondering if I should be doing using edition 3.5 or 4.0
|
So I'm going to be running a D&D game soon and I'm unsure whether to go with edition 3.5 or 4.0. Is one of them better for new players that have little to no rpg experience? Most of the group I'll be running this for has pretty much no rpg experience. I've got most of my rpg experience through white wolf and the WoD books (both new WoD and old) so I've no idea what exactly I'm jumping into. One thing that's leaning me towards using 4.0 at the moment is the dark sun campaign setting. Anyways any input would be welcome.
