What is your opinion of online learning?
|
What do you think about online classes in college? For the most part, what I've been hearing from other students at my college is that they hate taking online classes and no one feels they're actually getting anything from the classes. What do you think about them? What could be done differently? What should never be done in an online class?

What is the most idiotic thing your ex has done?

What is the most idiotic thing your ex has done?
This is the most retarded ex I have..
He invites me to his wedding, he's getting married to the girl he's cheated on me with..AND they're expecting a baby soon.
Now here's where he fucks up, he says they've been together for 3 years, and he also denied cheating on me..I broke up with him just last year. So how exactly have you been with her for 3 years? You cheated dumbass.
Then when I point it out to him, he says I'm not worthy of being loved..oh, so uh why did you propose to me 2 years ago?
Because no one else would take him, he kept crawling back to me "knowing" I'd "always" love him. I had my last straw when I found the proof, his entire flirtatious conversation with another girl while I was his girlfriend. He then denied that too and said his cousin hacked his profile and just wanted to cause problems between us.
So a few days after I broke up with this idiot, he walks all the way to my house in the middle of the fucking night to beg for me back, I end up calling his grandparents to get his ass off my porch. He sent messages saying he couldn't live without me, he'd never find anyone like me..less than a week later, he's got a new girl. Every week, new girl. Til just last month he announced this previously mentioned wedding.
I don't rant like this often, but I am just so pissed and need to get it off my chest. Also, I like to know how many other people are this stupid haha.
Reddit, this is my dumbass ex and his fiancé. ---->

26 year old gay male -- dating/hooking up problems!
|
Hey, guys -- 26 year old (closeted to the majority of my family, out to a few select friends) gay male here.
Bear with me. This is a long one (tl;dr at bottom, of course).
I am having a *huge* problem with my dating life (if it can even be called that). I have never dated guys (lived the majority of my life in West Virginia within 20 miles of my parents -- and when I went away for college, I always had roommates, so my paranoia prevented me from ever seeing guys, romantically) but, within the past six months, I have moved 400 or so miles away for a new job, to a major (500k plus residents) metro area, and, in the past three months, I've had the courage to start hooking up with guys (thanks, Grindr!), and have been on or two dates...and there's the problem.
I am big (right now about 250 or so pounds, 6'1''), was an athlete in college (wrestled at 197 pounds and heavyweight), very masculine, always in the weight room (I regularly compete in powerlifting competitions, and do use anabolic steroids).
I work in a power plant as an environmental chemist -- while I spend about three-quarters of my time in the lab, it is still a very blue collar, rugged, putting calluses on the hands type of job (most of my co-workers are ex-military guys, and, with a college degree, I am in the minority).
Just think very masculine, stereotypical 'meathead' (my nicknames throughout high school and college were Cro Magnon and, yes, Meathead).
However, I like very effeminate men, my age or a little older. My 'dream' guy would be an effete, fussy, slim little Anglophile professor at a small liberal arts college or a high-living art critic with impeccable fashion sense and a rapier wit (I know I sound weird, dreaming about this, but de gustibus non disputandum est...)
Now, I have hooked up with guys who fit that profile. However, it's never extended beyond a hook up, or, at most, a drink or two at a gay bar. I want to be with him at an art gallery opening, holding hands, or just spend an entire weekend cuddling in bed, introduce him as *my boyfriend* to the hotel staff before carrying him up the stairs and into the honeymoon suite...
What's worse is that when I am with guys, I feel like I have to play up this rough and tumble, ultra-masculine image. Don't get me wrong -- I am like that...but, like I said, sometimes I just want to cuddle and stroke his face and talk about how I'm feeling.
So, really, I hate having to play up with this image of a horny 'str8 acting' meathead, a sexually insatiable top who is emotionally unavailable.
Of course, sometimes it is fun and I do love it when guys just drool over my body, but, then other times, it really, really hurts, and I feel like I'm being 'used' and they genuinely think I am dumb. One of the guys I hook up with...the sex is great or I'd stop...works at a gallery, has a PhD in art history or design or something similar, and we were lying in bed and the topic drifted towards art...my favorite painting of all time is Gerome's *Pollice Verso*, and I told him so, and he just started laughing like I had said *Oh, anything by Thomas Kinkaide* or something equally moronic. I just shut up at the time, but thinking back on it now, it really, really hurt. But maybe I'm reading too much into this. I don't know. Like I said, zero experience with guys.
But I don't think I am wrong in their assessment of me, because it's always sex followed by...*Well, I guess you better get going* or *I guess I better get going*, depending on where we hook up. It's like, okay, they like to use me for sex but I'm too dumb and blue collar and country and bro'd out, and not witty and outgoing and clever and fashionable enough to be in a relationship with them.
**tl;dr: Very masculine guy, feel like I'm only appreciated for my body/the idea of masculinity that I represent, and I won't ever be in a real relationship with the kind of guy I like. It sucks.**

TIL that the "Greatest Canadian" Tommy Douglas, founder of universal health care, endorsed eugenics
|
From Wikipedia
Douglas graduated from Brandon College in 1930, and completed his Master's degree (M.A.) in Sociology from McMaster University in 1933. His thesis entitled The Problems of the Subnormal Family endorsed eugenics. The thesis proposed a system that would have required couples seeking to marry to be certified as mentally and morally fit. Those deemed to be "subnormal" because of low intelligence, moral laxity or venereal disease would be sent to state farms or camps while those judged to be mentally defective or incurably diseased would be sterilized.
Douglas rarely mentioned his thesis later in his life and his government never enacted eugenics policies even though two official reviews of Saskatchewan's mental health system recommended such a program when he became premier and minister of health. By that time, many people questioned eugenics after Nazi Germany had embraced it to create a "master race". Instead, Douglas implemented vocational training for the mentally handicapped and therapy for those suffering from mental disorders.

4mth has outgrown car seat
|
My 4mth old is about 1" shy of being too big for his car seat and i'm sure he's also about to exceed the weight limit. Read as- my son is HUGE. Is a 3 in 1 convertible car seat the best way to go next? They all seem so big for a baby that can't sit on his own yet. Any suggestions on models? Also, he will be front facing now, correct?
I was going to go with this one #prodSlot=medium_1_2&term=3

[Advice] Being courteous vs. being a gentleman. Expectations and how to deal with them - as a man and a woman.
|
Hello everyone,
this is a man [24] posting, and I am primarily looking for much needed advice and perspective. I hope that it might still be alright for this subreddit, if it is not I apologize.
I hope this doesn't sound too much like self-praise, but being respectful and courteous to other people is something that is very important me, and I try to be as much as I can. I am an not an out-going person, but when I see someone having trouble, see someone who might need help, I offer mine or even just help without asking. If I can, it makes my day.
My girlfriend [22] grew up in another country, in another culture than I did. She strongly believes that men need to act as gentlemen for women. Holding open doors for women came up, another one was that men should not let "their women" travel alone. "Their woman" can mean family, friends or partners. It was very hard for her to accept and understand, that I told her, that I think she's perfectly capable of arriving at the airport and taking the next train (Europe) to the city herself. That I think she will be able to carry her luggage herself. She asked me how she's supposed to explain that to her parents. She, and her parents, expect me to take her from the airport because she is a girl, and I am man. (I *will* be meeting her, but that's because I want to be with her when she lands in my country)
We have talked, more generally, about the difference between just being courteous and polite to anyone and being a gentleman specifically to a woman and it's getting very complicated. The topic is very hard for us to talk about, it turns out we are both feeling very defensive of our position and what we believe in. Last time she ended up crying uncontrollably about it; although, while our discussion was the trigger, it was not the whole cause.
I told her, that I think regardless of gender, people deserve to be treated with respect and that politeness should not be tied to gender. She tells me that she agrees, but still, in some cases women should be treated differently, should be treated with more respect. I just don't understand. And she told me that I didn't. She told me that being courteous to women especially and being a gentleman runs so much deeper than I understand, but she would not explain.
The whole attitude floors me, I feel myself getting upset and don't quite know how to deal with it. The expectations that I feel she has on me are just overwhelming. It starts with the little things, in that she would expect me to carry her bags for her. It's a genuine concern for her, that she needed to talk about. The thought that I wouldn't didn't even cross my mind, but that she is expecting me to do it, is hard for me. It ends in the big things, that me telling her that I find being especially, or even exclusively, polite to women ridiculous, makes her cry uncontrollably and puts our relationship in question.
I need advice, I need help. I don't know how to deal with this anymore. Where is this coming from? Am I so wrong in my opinion and attitude? I just really want to hold open doors for some because I want to help them, not because society or anyone else expects to do it because the person is a woman. I feel that her expectations in me are robbing me of every chance to be the man that I want to be for her.
Can you help me understand her? Can you help me deal with it? Can you help us find a way to deal with the situation? Any suggestion, advice or insight, would be so very much appreciated.
Thank you.

These girls chatted about stuff next to me?
|
So i'm sitting in class and these 2 girls about 2-4 feet away from me start chatting about their work, hot guys at their work and what not
what does this mean? does it mean that they don't feel like i'm BF material and chat about whatever near me?
or does it mean that they could be hinting that they're looking for a BF and wanted me to say something?

Funny Amazon Review and Gibson vs. Upgraded Epiphone Question
|
First, I love my mayer black1 strat (the cheap one, not the 10k ;) ) and its serving me very well. However, I've fallen in love with the look of the white and gold gibson custom.
I'm in a pop/rock band so sometimes I could use something with a little more gain, and I love the look of this les paul. The thing is, I really don't feel like shelling out that much money. I'd probably rather get an es335. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you have had good success with upgrading epiphone pickups and hardware etc. and how that went? Searched but didn't find much.
Also, check out this hilarious review on the amazon page:
thanks!

Accidentally locked the view to always center the cursor.
|
While working in vim, I accidentally pressed too many buttons at once. I somehow managed to lock the scroll to always center the cursor (text-cursor). I.e. whenever I press `j` the cursor moves one line up, but the text in the window is scrolled down by one line. When I press `k` the opposite happens. I.e. the cursor is always vertically centered in the window.
My question: How did I do that?
My google-fu seems weak today, I didn't find anything useful...

[US] 190K DPS Monk - Will help with your ubers! ^_^
|
Leave your battletag below. I will add you in-game, in the order that people respond. Please do not add me directly in-game; my friends list is constantly full, and it gets confusing. I will likely remove you from friends after the run, unless you specifically request otherwise. Please do not be offended.
I am a [175k-190k] DPS monk (DPS depends on how I socket gems; generally go more purple gems at higher MPs).
The table below gives a rough idea of MP levels at which I can help with your ubers. Columns are number of people in your party, rows are average **unbuffed** dps per member of your party.
| | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|-|:-:|:-:|:-:|
|<60k|MP6|MP5|MP5|
|60-100k|MP7|MP6|MP5
|100k+|MP8|MP7|MP7
This is just a rough guide. I am generally more lenient on DPS requirements for barbs and monks.
You bring the machines.
Check post history for many many vouches from past redditors that I've helped!

How much does last years gear usually drop?
|
Hey Shreddit. I'm new to snowboarding and I was just wondering, how much does last years gear usually drop after the season ends? I'm looking at buying a new snowboard, and it costs around $500 retail. But I've noticed it's dropped significantly ($50-$100) on ebay and other sites this week. I don't know whether or not to jump on it now, or if it's going to drop more in the next few weeks. Is it just dropping because the season is almost through and they're receiving 2013's gear? I don't want to wait too long and not be able to get the board brand new in my size, but I also don't want to spend $100 more than I have to. Any advice?
Sorry if this is dumb, but I really want to know.

Best way to ask for custom artwork after disappointing consultation?
|
I had a consultation with a tattoo artist, after seeing and liking his work online, for the first time today. It didn't go as expected.
I brought in some images that I like, one being this:
and others being some art nouveau wrought iron examples, and images that highlight texture and interesting fill work. I brought in colors I liked too, hoping to give him an idea of the look and feel I was after.
What I was hoping for was to have an actual conversation wherein I told the artist that I didn't know what I wanted, but that I liked all the things I'd brought in, and was hoping to pay for his time to sit with me and work out what the tattoo would look like.
After I handed him the piece I linked to, all he heard was "I want this enlarged and put on my back, end of story." And then he walked me to the door, collected a deposit for a drawing, and I left. I didn't even show him the rest of the stack of images I was holding in my hands.
Reddit, this is definitely not what I want! Is this guy (whose work I like online anyway) not the artist for me? Or should I have been much pushier when talking to him? I left feeling like a chump. Any advice is really appreciated!
tl;dr got the brush-off from a tattoo artist who thought I wanted some premade tribal art, when I meant to ask for his original work. How to fix this?

How's the Outlander's Stone Pact in multiplayer?
|
I'm thinking of making an Outlander. Stone Pact seems like an interesting skill because it's the only on-command ally/group healing skill in the entire game, aside from the Heal All spell which has a 30-second cooldown.
I'm thinking of playing on either Veteran or Elite, by the way. Does it get more or less redundant on multiplayer Elite? :B
I'll easily stick with Veteran if I need to. For some reason, I always liked being the cleric guy in online games. There's more people on Veteran anyway.

Looking for advice regarding Pennsylvania and Delaware gun laws
|
Boring premise, I know, but I'd appreciate your help with this.
I'm looking to purchase my first gun in the near future, but that's not what I need your help with. I currently live in Pennsylvania, which I know has much less restrictive gun laws compared to, say, Maryland or New York. However, I'm planning on moving to Delaware in the next month or two, and I don't know much about gun laws in Delaware, particularly regarding purchasing firearms.
Essentially, my question is: would it be any easier and/or cheaper to buy a handgun here in PA and take it with me when I move, or should I wait to buy it until I'm a legal resident of Delaware? Is there any legal hoops I have to jump through to take the first option?
Thanks guys.

Tips for speeding up 4e combat? Or suggestions for an alternate RPG system with faster combat?
|
I've finally managed to pull together a group of pretty cool people that are new and really interested in the game (my wife included! success!). Together, we've run through four sessions and each one is the DMG prescribed amount of XP for a group of our size at the 'hard' level. We're all having a good time with everything, the RPing, puzzles, traps, except the combat tends to really slow the game down. Lately I've been taking off liberal amounts of HP from enemies just so combat doesn't drag on for the next hour, however this is making the game easier than I want it to be. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for dealing with this?
I know that the next version of D&D is supposed to address combat speed, so maybe there's just no getting around the slow fights. Would I be better off trying a new game system with my group? Can anyone recommend anything?

Need some inspiration for designing helmet
|
Stumped on designing my helmet. I want a design as cool as this guy's.
I would enjoy seeing some of your guy's helmets. I've only had one idea and that's to have an arrow in the front like Aang from The Last Airbender. It may seem like a good idea but when I think about wearing a helmet like that, I'm unsure about wearing it. I don't want to be unsure about wearing my helmet. I just need some inspiration to start.
EDIT: Actually I might be interested in the arrow.
Seeing this brings up endless ideas on what designs to make to form the arrow.

Current state of Marines OCS acceptance?
|
I will be graduating in May 2013 with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have changed my mind of going for a PhD and instead want to join the Marines, preferably as a pilot or NFO. From what I have heard, with the wars ending that it is nearly impossible to get into the OCS program unless you are the best of the best, especially in aviation with the F-35 coming out and replacing everything. I really want to have a chapter in my life as an officer before I continue my education, just I am not sure if it is possible in the current state of the Marines.
My GPA is 3.96, with research lab experience and a lot of community service. I have been weightlifting since early high school so the pullups and crunches are going to be no problem for me but running may be a problem.
I was wondering what it would take for me to become competitive for an aviation slot or if it is even possible.

Chicago - Terrible place for herbs
|
Yeah so I'm just gonna take this time to rant about how much Chicago sucks.
First of all, prices are terrible. Prices in other states are half of what we pay.
Here I pay:
Mids - $10 gram
Dro - $15 gram
Good shit - $20 gram (sometimes $25 a gram if it's new)
That's fucking terrible for a person that smokes a gram of tree per session.
2ndly, buds with names are hard to find. I've smoked a lot of medical grade stuff when I've been in other states and it's good to know what kind of high you'll have when you buy the herbs. I just don't like getting some no name bud that just makes me fall asleep all the time. When I buy fucking Sour Diesel, I know I can smoke it and go to work or class, or whatever, but if it's some no name kush, I just fall asleep all over the place.
3rdly, although decriminalization of weed has happened, I still get sketched out cause there are still a lot of asshole cops that still make their personal job to give you shit. Smoking in public or being near a school is still an arrest. Plus, a lot of people spend their time in the suburbs where herbs are NOT decriminalized.
Yeah there's my rant. Any other Chicago smokers sympathize?

My Great Dane has gone from Dog Loving to Dog Aggressive very quickly!
|
I have a 2 year old Great Dane. He's always been a loving dog, he's done well at dog parks, going to Pets Mart, and just walks around the park. However....a few months ago over a 3 day span he was attacked multiple times at the dog park by German Shepherds. The owners just laughed it off, except my Dane had cuts and marks and bloody spots all over him. My boyfriend sent his dog, which is a giant breed into the fray to take the German down and subdue it, which his dog succeeded in doing. While I would get my Dane and leave the dog park as quickly as I could.
Ever since then whenever a medium - large dog is near by, he lunges at them. He raises himself on his hind legs and juts out, almost like a horse would. I don't know how to fix this, if anybody can offer help I would appreciate it.

Friend was killed this morning. Need advice or guidance away from religion.
|
(First time poster here. Sorry in advance for grammar, irrelevance, or posting in the wrong subreddit.)
My good friend that I've known for years (Mike) was shot and killed this morning. It is very hard for me to handle this, considering he was the only person I've met who can relate to me, and also does most the activities that I personally do. He was an amazing guy, and when I was going on his Facebook wall to ask him to hang out with me sometime, I found RIP messages. I couldn't believe it and thought it was a dream, and just burst into tears. The only thing I want now is to see him again, talk to him, laugh with him, and watch some anime with him. I just wish that this is all a prank, but inside I know it isn't. He died at such a young age (16). Because I just want to see him again, I'm starting to want to believe in heaven, so I can see him in an afterlife. Any advice to turn away from religion, and find better help?

Broken pieces of glass are still cracking, occasionally breaking and 'jumping'. What's happening?
|
I replaced the screen door on my back porch a couple of days ago, and was breaking down the old door to sort the salvageable and recyclable from the garbage. It had two pieces of glass - a lower slider in a frame, and the set upper piece, both ~32" squares. The slider was easy to remove, but the set piece required me to basically rip apart the door. As I was setting the glass aside, it made a loud popping noise and shattered into tiny pieces. The pieces then continued to crack very audibly and occasionally break and 'jump'. 1/2 hour later and it's still going on. Why?

Looking to work with low Elo players to help them improve. Need Replays (x-post from r/leagueoflegends)
|
Hello,
I am looking to find a couple of low elo players (1400 or below) that are looking to improve and are willing to work with me on a longers term basis. I want to watch your replays and find areas you can improve and work with you until you have become a better player by fixing these leaks.
I am hoping to find 3 or 4 players who are serious about wanting to improve, can take criticism and who have replays. If you are interested please PM me with your elo and a little information about you as a player.
Thanks
Edit: I am just a mid elo player that wants to help a couple peopel out. I am not a "pro". I just have a bit of extra time and I think I can be he;pful to people that are below 1400ish. I have helped a bunch of friends around that elo improve so I believe I can help others. I was told to x-post this here, I apologize if I am not doing this correctly.
Edit 2: I am on NA. Still don't mind watch other servers but I just can't add you in game. Also I have gotten a ton of great replies so sorry if it take me a while to get back to everyone. Didn't realize how big reddit was.
Edit 3: Replays where you do average are best. Not stomps either way. If you make no mistakes I can't really help and if you are just getting stomps its a bit hard to say exactly what mistakes to focus on because you are going to be very weak all game.
EDIT 3: Getting a ton of replays now. Really excited. I want to upload the videos for everyone to learn from so if you are not comfortable with that please note that when you send the replays.
Thanks
Edit 4:
First Video is done. Working on more. Working on improving quality. Please give me feedback so I can improve my videos and be better able to help everyone.
Edit 5:
Please Email me at [email protected] with a couple of your replays with your main champions and I will check them out. The same champion for all the replays would be best. If not that try to get all the same role.
If you want to work 1 on 1 and have a decent amount of time to dedicate please let me know.
Edit 6:
Added a few more videos. Still very much a work in progress on the recording end but please let me know what you think so I can fix any problems with the content now rather than in the future.
Edit 7: More videos done. I think this one is especially helpful for some newer players:

First off I live in Maryland near D.C. I got this plant about a month ago, it was an offshoot from a larger banana plant my parents have (they live in NJ).
Here are a couple photos of the plant:
Nothing had been munching on it at the time that I moved it down from my parents place to mine. I first noticed something was eating it about 2 weeks ago and it has gotten worse since then.
I am hoping to find out
What is eating it?
Is this detrimental to the plants health/growth? Basically will the plant be OK if I do nothing?
What can I do about it?

Fellow Arlingtonites, am I the only one not really siding with the NAACP on the Division street/ MLK issue?
|
I'm all for an MLK Street in Arlington somewhere, don't get me wrong, but changing the name of Division just kind of... I dunno, it doesn't sit well with me. I've lived off of Division and Bowen for almost 20 years now, and I want to see Division revitalized, not renamed.
It just feels like a part of my heritage in this town would be dying off. I do want a symbol of how diverse our city is, but I don't really like changing such a significant part to do so.
Why not give them the chunk of Legends Way between Randol Mill and Division? It's a new street, very nice, runs directly by the Cowboys Stadium, and Division is still intact.

Hello Cleveland! Landed a job at Progressive, where should I live?
|
**EDIT**: Thank you! A_Tasty_Ham_Sandwich and the rest of you rooting for Cleveland Heights have convinced me to stay away from work and closer to where life is fun for a 21 year old. I will come back to hunting later on. I still have a lot of time till I graduate and not much money to put in a deposit. If you need a roommate or know a good place I can rent starting January 1st in the Cleveland Heights neighborhood PM me. Thank you again for your help! Looks like I will be living around good chill people! For those of you asking for my position, I will be in IT in campus 2.
**Story**: Graduating from college in December. Work starts in January in the Mayfield Heights campus.
**Question**: **Where should I live?** How should I find apartments? I am having a very hard time nailing the right place to live. I would love to save some money but more importantly I would like to be in a good, active neighborhood.
**EDIT**: Wow! Thanks a lot guys. For those of you who work at Progressive, nice to meet you! For those who don't, thank you for going out of your way to help me. I have decided to stick with Arbor Court, Deepwood and apartments near coventry road for now. They are in my budget and aren't a bad commute to work. PM me if you need more information from me. It would be great to have a network of intelligent Reditors when I move-in to a completely new city that I have never been in before!

Those of you that are in favor of an "endless" dungeon, may I ask why?
|
I'm not really sure why the people that are bored with the current content think that an endless dungeon would solve anything. If anything, running the same area in one space deeper and deeper down would be just as boring/pointless as running Act I or Act III over and over again like most people currently do. Personally, I would feel a bit hopeless knowing that no matter how far I go, I will never actually achieve an end, and it makes it a bit hard to actually figure out when you're done. I'm assuming it's all just different strokes, but I would really appreciate why this is such a popular idea, and a solution to the current problem. If Blizzard did this, wouldn't the next complaint simply be "All there is to do is to run the "Dark" Watchtower for item drops!!", and then we're right where we are now. Again, I don't profess to be an expert, and this is merely how I feel about the whole affair, but whatever you all think would be very interesting as well.

Postpatch: Gausspult and Heatsinks
|
I've just rebuild my trusty Catapult K2 "Gausspult". (XL Enginge, 2x Gauss rifles, Ammo) Nothing else.
Worked perfectly fine until this patch (10/25/2012). If I start in a group I auto-disconnect on gamestart, If I start alone I get an error-msg "not enough heatsinks"
I wrote a ticket and the support told me "With the recent change of the pricing of the Engine, this is now required to equip Heat sinks on your Mech in order to be able to run with that engine. However you should be able to add heat sinks in the reserved slots of your engine."
Well, I don't see any reserved slots for heat sinks, besides if I look on "Details" there are already 9 heatsinks in my mech. (without adding any manually). I'm at 64,2 tons right now, to add more heatsinks (which I actually don't need) I would have to reduce my armor or ammunition.
Anybody else had this problem and got a better workaround?
As said: worked perfectly on prepatch.

To explain, I'll go and look at all the posts about weed to give me an urge to smoke on purpose. That way when I smoke it's more pleasurable.

How do you reconcile differences in polyamory styles with your partner?
|
My boyfriend of four years and I decided to give a polyamory a try last year. So far we are okay, not great...just okay. The biggest issue we seem to have is differences of opinion regarding how it should be handled. I would prefer to have a 'tiered' style, meaning I rank my partners according to their importance to me. My boyfriend is my primary; he's the one I plan to make a long-term future with, which involves financial commitments, co-habitating, just more responsibility in general. I have a couple playmates on the side, but I have no intention of getting my personal life too mixed-up in theirs. My boyfriend, however, has a second girlfriend whom he give a lot of the same rights and privileges that I think should be exclusive to me...he's gone to some family events and such on her side (her fam have no clue I exist, by the way) and doesn't seem to want to make any heavy decisions with me without first consulting her. I've tried to express my concerns to him more than once, and I'm not quite sure how to handle it anymore. Has anyone found themselves in a similar situation? What did you do?
EDIT: Wow, thank you everyone for your stories and advice! I don't have any personal interaction with other polys and it's nice hearing from people who are in similar situations (or at the very least understand) and can give me a different perspective.

I have seen questions on here before asking why people like the smell of their own farts, and have heard friends say they do. I admit I like my own brand. I am also curious why I like the smell of my own, but mostly am curious if this is mainly a guy thing, or if girls feel the same way but are less inclined to talk about it.

Can atmospheric conditions alone electrostatically charge my cat?
|
It has been an unusually dry couple of months here in San Francisco, and I've noticed that my cat has been extraordinarily charged lately. I get very large shocks when petting him, even after noting that he had not been rubbing on the vinyl couch, or rolling on the carpet, or sleeping on the fresh laundry pile. It seems that even after I touch and discharge him, I can still receive a pretty strong shock after only a few minutes of relative inactivity. Friends have suggested that the dry air has something to do with it, which makes sense, I suppose, but could it really be that he's building up static simply by walking around? Most of my flooring is hardwood.
*tl;dr - can fur moving through dry air alone build up a noticeable amount of static electricity, or is my cat made of magic?*

How to approach girls in groups (breaking through the collective bitch-shield)?
|
I'm alright with opening girls who are standing by themselves but I still get a lot of AA with approaching girls in groups, especially if I don't really know them or if they seem to be engaged in intense "girl-talk". I've tried to open groups like this but it almost always ends up in me just asking a semi-boring question which gets answered but then I just get forgotten after that.
I think the main issue is i don't know how to add value to this kind of situation. It baffles me when I see naturals do the same thing, and within minutes, they're leading the conversation and all the girls are staring at them! Do you guys have any advice on how I can improve here?

Is my dehumidifier working? Should I just quit? Details inside
|
Hi there, didn't know if I should have posted this on the tittle or here.. I obviously decided to place it here.
So,
I have been using my dehumidifier (on and off) for 5 days now and it has removed over 15litters of water. It normally gets to 55% RH (52% was the lowest) and I stop it. In the morning, it is 78/79/80% RH. Is this normal? Even after removing 15 litters of water?
Some additional info:
- I have asthma, and that's why I'm using the dehumidifer.
- I'm currently living in a house (btw, it's summer right now - europe) and one of the walls is a basement type wall (the others are not).
- My dehumidifier is capable of removing 16litters/day (in a 30ºC and 80%RH envinronment). Reccommended area: 66 ^2.
I have 3 rooms on my house:
- kitchen/living room - I do not use the kitchen, ever (32m^2)
- Bathroom - I do not take showers (5m^2)
- Bedroom (16m^2)
So, my question is:
Should I have continue to use my dehumidifier or should I just give up? Will it get better? (15 litters of water out and still 80% RH in the morning. wth?)
Thanks in advance,

NSFW: Daughter walked in on my husband and I in the act.... not sure what to do...
|
So, my husband and I are in our late 20s/early 30s. We have a 7 year old daughter together. I'm going to post the specifics because it's kind of important, but be warned, he and I are kind of kinky.
He and I were getting it on in the living room. He was laying on his back on the coffee table and wearing a chastity belt while I was anally fisting him. We also had some pretty hard core porn on the tv (I really hope she didn't notice much about that; it was an orgy with like 6 transgendered women...). I was talking (more like yelling) dirty to him. Then, our daughter walked in and started crying.
Woops. I forgot she only had a half day of school today. I must have missed the sound of the door opening because I was focused on other things....
Now she's convinced that I hate daddy and I want to hurt him (I know I said something like "I hope this fucking hurts you little bitch", but I'm not sure if she heard that specifically.....). He's talked to her and tried to explain it, but she doesn't believe him. She refuses to talk to me and says she hates me....
I have no idea what to do. Do I just let it go? Try to talk to her again tomorrow? Have my husband talk to her again? We tried to talk to her together, but she refuses to listen.
We made sure to let her know she's not in trouble, but it's important we talk....

What is the bump when you hit your head?

I was wondering what was exactly in a contusion on the forehead. If you have the unfortunate experience of receiving a relatively hard hit to the forehead, you can get a bump on it about the size of a walnut (or larger). -This happened to me once when I was young!- There doesn't seem to be much tissue there - so what does that bump actually consist of? And does the swelling from bruising just seem more extreme than when a person takes a hit on another part of the body?

Kat Von D High Voltage (almost) dupes!
|
Hey all! I've been lusting after the Kat Von D High Voltage line for quite a while now (Scrangie did a great review with swatches here, but haven't been able to bring myself to spend $12 dollars for bottles that are only 0.25 ounces.
I recently got a fairly large order from Beauty Joint and added it on top of the Metallic Fuschia and it looks SO similar! I think the Metallic Pink would also be a pretty close dupe to the pink in the KVD polish. The Metallic Yellow *might* work, but it looks a little too gold I think.
Anyway, just wanted to say if you were considering the High Voltage line, but want to save some cash, this could be a good option. Like I said, KVD ones are $12 per bottle and Kleancolor is only $1.75.

Landlord extending deadline to fill the empty rooms in my apartment to help my trans friends
|
I was terrified of my landlord picking somebody herself who would end up not being LGBT friendly. That would mean awkward bathroom situations, having to wear my binder if I want to be out in the livingroom, and changing my shot routine since I currently do it in the bathroom. A friend who I met at a trans support group happens to be apartment hunting, but is having a lot of difficulty contacting his current landlord to tell him he wants out of his lease early. I explained the situation to my landlord, and she has since stopped bringing people she's found to show the apartment to and is not imposing the deadline of Sept 1st on my friend. I also reconnected with an old friend who I met before both of us transitioned, and when I e-mailed them to tell them I had begun transition, he replied with "cool bro. me too." We fell out of contact after he cheated on a former friend of mine and moved away, but I have since forgiven him and he's moving back to my city in a couple of weeks. Well, I happen to have 2 empty bedrooms in my apartment and I'm offering the other one to him.
TL;DR- 2 (possibly 3) FtM guys living together thanks to a generous landlord.

Going through some old government documents, I found this note. If you can't follow the link, it has a name, date - June 12, 1963, and an invitation to stop by an address to discuss the pamphlet. After some searching, I found and contacted the author of the note. He's a Math, Comp Sci professor at Western Kentucky University. We chatted a bit through email, he likened the discovery to finding a note in a bottle that washed ashore.

I've been feeling them mildly since a couple of days after i started keto, but today it's pretty intense and I'm pretty worried. I've been eating more fat and cholesterol dense food than I ever have. I don't know if a couple of weeks or so of a ketogenic diet would be enough to cause heart problems, but im just scared as shit right now. I dont feel good at all.
Edit: thanks to everyone who replied. It ended up being back pain from laying on my couch. Weird I know, but I've been kinda sketched out about this diet and that was the first thing I thought of when i felt this pain. I can feel it in my chest which is weird, but I noticed that when I point my head downwards, the pain comes and when i look ahead, it goes away.

Update on Eric McLean - Recently posted the Leukemia final confession clip
|
Update 8:33 pm
Unfortunately I received a call tonight from Eric's mom noting that Eric had passed away about 6:04 pm. There have been a few different posts for follow up, so I wanted to make sure I follow-up with all the appropriate audiences.
Please celebrate life and embrace each moment
********************************************
Original Post
Hi Reddit
First and foremost, thank you so much for the attention that was brought to Eric's video as a result of your correspondence.
Eric is still with us and the family is enjoying the gift of him being with us every day. He is in Hospice at his Mother and Father's house where he is surrounded by family and made as comfortable as possible.
A few questions were posed on the previous post that I wanted to help answer
*** "Why would you share this" or "You just want karma" or "this is a private matter"**
*Eric has been battling Leukemia on and off for the last ten years. He works as a programmer in the IT field and is very interested in social media. As a result of being diagnosed, he wanted to share his story for a few reasons. First, just a way of documenting and healing process. Second, one of his bucket items is to raise awareness to the Bone Marrow Registry. Third, to give hope to others in a similar situation. There are many other reasons he communicates this. This was never posted in an effort for karma and I would gladly give someone all my karma that I ever receive to save my friend. I would agree if this video was private, Eric did not have a youtube channel, or Eric asked that this not be posted. He is incredibly excited to see how many people have viewed the video, visited his site, and signed up for the registry.*
*What can I do to help?
*The video is incredibly emotional, many cannot watch it (brought me to tears and I had to stop watching about ten times). The biggest thing to come out of this is to learn about Eric, learn about Leukemia and how you can help others, bone marrow registry and most importantly, ENJOY LIFE!*
Here are a few images that people have posted on Eric's facebook or L.i.f.e. Someone started a group to make 8/18 a day where we make the world orange. This was done by placing orange balloons on your porch.
As a result, in just a few short days the video has already grown to over 670,000 views. Famous individuals/groups include Donald Driver, Perez Hilton, and Livestrong have tweeted about Eric's story and bringing more individuals to realize Eric's great fight

Why do people from the USA get married so young?
|
From the number of posts on reddit from people in their early 20s wondering if they're past it because they're not married yet, to people in their late 20s being divorced, and on to their second marriages...
It seems to me, from my lazy, British, point of view, that people here tend to wait until closer to 30 to marry, whereas in the USA, they're usually married by their mid 20s. Wikipedia link to the stats.
For the record, early 30s, single, professional, bloke.

Dog Training - end your dogs fear of fireworks
|
I've read a lot of posts about their dogs fear of fireworks/gunfire/loud noises. As with all training, it works best with puppies over 11 weeks of age, but with patience and self control it will work with dogs of all ages.
Get your pup/dog's favorite treat. Start with loud abrupt random clapping and a shrill high pitch voice. When your dog approaches reward with treat, as they calm provide additional treats. Over the weeks/months ramp it up, from clapping to pots and pans, small fireworks/.22 rifles/ etc etc closer and closer. As you ramp up the noise and with older dogs its best to keep them on a retractable lead during this time.
It's critical to stay calm and act like nothing is out of place during this time. Let your dog work out the irrational fear themselves and show complete patience. If you avoid any coddling or confrontational behaviors in your own body language to the explosion or your dogs fear of it, your dog will start to associate loud abrupt noises with a recall and reward and they will calm down accordingly.
In time, your best friend will be able to calmly sit with you at the park/beach/field and watch the fireworks.

How do you handle Contractor/Consultant/Vendor temp AD accounts?
|
I get to *reboot* how we handle temp accounts for Contractors, Consultants and Vendors (Oh, My!). First order of business is to set the accounts to automatically expire when the contract is over. Next is to come up with a naming convention. Do you folks use a different naming convention for your temp accounts?

IAmA graduate of a Fine Arts middle and high school. AMA!
|
My school was (is, it's still exists!) a fine arts magnet school. This means that it's a public school, so I didn't have to pay tuition, but I had to audition to get in. It runs from sixth to twelfth grade, and I was there for all seven years! Ask me anything!

Anyone else played/playing the FM Base Moneybags Challenge?
|
The money bags challenge is one of the most downloaded custom scenarios on FM-base. Link: here
You start with a brand new team in the English 6th Tier, the Blue Square Bet South. But, you have a huge budget. You start with a transfer budget of £472,000,000 and a wage budget of £5,000,000.
Sounds like a lot but it's going to take you 5 years minimum to reach the premier league so you still have to spend wisely. You also only start with a 1000 capacity stadium, so you'll want to think about building a new one at some point!
I assumed this sort of challenge would be deadly boring, but I;m actually finding it great fun. Starting a team from scratch has let me get attached to some great players as they help win leagues on the way to the premier league. Just wondering if anyone else has stories or wants to talk about how they found it. I highly recommend playing it.
I am currently on my 4th season, and have placed 1st in BSS, BSN, League 2, and won the FA Trophy & Johnstones Paint Trophy on the way! Still trying to get the League Cup and FA Cup under my belt though, Fourth Round is my furthest so far! Will update later with my team of the seasons etc.

Next to no games of Stephano streamed ?
|
Given that he's a huge foreigner contender and has been in Korea for a bit now it would have been nice to see more of his games.
It could be argued that a lot of the games that were put up on stream were pretty lackluster both in namesake and skill and could have been replaced by others, maybe not Stephano in particular.

My chat with a VZW rep. in relation to unlimited data and switching from a 3G phone to 4G (AKA S3)
|
So, I just had an online chat with a rep that confirmed that 3G status does not affect unlimited data. I'm personally upgrading from a Droid 2 to the S3 and they said 3G to 4G does not effect it. Making the order is what matters. I'll paste the transcript below.
>You are now chatting with 'Ashley D'
>
>Ashley D: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
>
>CommanderZim: I had a question about unlimited data and pre-ordering a Galaxy SIII
>
>CommanderZim: So, all 4 of the memebers of my family still have unlimited data.
>
>Ashley D: I'd be glad to help you with that today!
>
>CommanderZim: We are all looking to upgrade to SIII's, but currently have 3G phones.
>
>Ashley D: Did you know we have some other great phones available you can get with similar features, like the Droid Razr Maxx?
>
>CommanderZim: I know that if we pre-order online, we can lock in Unlimited data with that order.
>
>CommanderZim: My question is, since we are on 3G, will changing to 4G affect our unlimited status
>
>CommanderZim: ?
>
>Ashley D: Absolutely, but we do have some really great deals on phones right here online with specific features similar to the Samsung that are available now.
>
>Ashley D: No, 3G status doesn't affect it. As long as you upgrade from smartphone to smartphone.
>
>CommanderZim: So even though we have to yet to activate 4G phones, changing from that will still keep unlimited?
>
>CommanderZim: After June 28th of course
>
>Ashley D: As long as it's from smartphone to smartphone! However before you order the Samsung, would you like to look at some of the other phones?
>
>CommanderZim: Since the S3 will ship July 9th
>
>Ashley D: You'd have to order today, or before June 28th for the older plans to stay.
>
>Ashley D: I know with the other phones you can absolutely guarantee you can keep the Unlimited though.
>
>CommanderZim: Alright. And we're actually all pretty set on the S3. haha

Libraries to extract signals from MP3 in C
|
Hi guys I originally posted here:
After the helpful replies, I emailed my superviser with my ideas. He said it was an interesting idea but raised the point that I would have to extract the signal somehow from MP3s. Is this possible in C?
He suggested using ffmpeg to convert into LPCM-coded WAV files. I have very little understanding of codecs, so any help would be great!

DoTA 2's ban system compared to LoL's. Is Valve more leniant than LoL's ban system?
|
Hello. I'm pretty new to DoTA 2 and I'm really interested in getting better at the game. I've pretty much quit League of Legends for a variety of reasons, but one of the main reasons is the tribunal system in LoL is pretty broken. I've played LoL for about a year and majority of the time when I receive a ban its always extremely controversial. My most recent two cases are here:
1. Banned for getting trolled in both games. Same thing happens in both games. Went AD bot, some last pick troll decides to AD bot as well. Full chat log can be found here. Zero verbal harassment from me, just complaining about being trolled.
#nogo
2.Banned for not following the meta since my teammates disliked my character pick. Direct responses from WookieCookie in the OP(in case you don't feel like reading the entire FP) and Red responses from Mr. Pendragon himself located at the page numbers.
These are just a couple of personal examples from me. I've seen MANY similar cases like this. Also people end up getting banned for things like not talking to their teammates and having a negative attitude in game. So if you literally put your teammates on ignore and don't talk to them for the entire game, by Riot's standards you can get banned for that.
I'm not all that familiar with how Valve bans people in this game, but is it as harsh and ridiculous as LoL's? The absolute last thing I'd hate to see in this game is another Tribunal since it really looks fun.

Asking for a pool of donations towards a new pair of corrective eyeglasses for myself. [US]
|
Story: I lost my only current pair of prescription glasses approximately two weeks ago by going out on a walk, while wearing sunglasses, and having them fall out of my pocket. It was indeed a stupid idea to shove glasses in loose pants while exercising. You live and learn. I'm currently using a five year old pair of glasses with a really dated prescription and they're littered with scratches to boot. I really cannot use these for much longer.
The reason why I'm asking for charity is because, well, quite frankly, I have no income. I'm 19 yrs old, 5k in student debt and without a job (no one likes to hire someone without a job history). I don't have credit to ask for a loan and I don't own anything I could pawn or sell to make a significant amount of money. My parent's economic situation is also bleak, so I'm not going to receive help there. So there you go.
Now I'll admit to the obvious. It is not possible to prove that I'm missing something that I lost. There is really little I can do to prove I am not a swindler. I will say however that the absence of evidence can be considered evidence of absence.. Before anyone suggests this, I cannot use cheap online eyeglass sellers like Zenni Optical because my prescription is too strong for them to fulfill it. Same with Walmart, Costco, and other economical eye centers. The only place that I know of that can help me starts at $200 for a complete pair.
Here is my prescription:
For those who are not knowledgeable with glasses, anything over a -3.00 is considered strong.
Finally here is a snapshot of recent transactions in my bank account:
I couldn't afford to pay my gym membership on time, as you can see.
So, that's the most I can do as far as evidence goes. I am not expecting a single dollar from anybody because I know I am not entitled to anything. But like the saying goes, it doesn't hurt to ask.
I thank anyone who may take pity on my plight and even bother to read this. Thank you.

Why can't we substitute disconnected players with bots?
|
I see bot AI is developed, and very often players leave a game that's not over yet. So a bot would be of great help for the remaining team.

My sister almost died last June - and I practically didn't give a shit..
|
Which makes me feel sick. I don't really hate my sister. I don't love her but I don't really love anyone :).
Stats: 22years old, male, university student, UK, dealing with depression since 18 mainly and getting progressively worse. Physical and mental health detoriorating year on year. Cool! :)
In Anycase.. my story..
Sister passes out at my home with family and I am the only one calm enough to call 999 (UK) We didn't know it at the time but she had miscarried
Skipping forward 6 hours later..
This may have been the trigger in that it’s when I found out I wasn’t feeling things I should’ve. When I walked into the ICU after a 4 hour surgery I saw her lying in the bed attached to a dozen machines. She was a completely different colour – she was almost chalk white like a ghost with some yellow in there too. It was almost like she was already dead ever though she was awake and her eyes were moving around (not talking much.) Whenever she would look at me I would automatically start looking concerned and happy that she was ok.. smiling.. being my normal self by taking the mick out of her and calling her a druggy (she kept pressing the morphine drip every 5 seconds!!) but when she would look away I would just go back to normal and my facial expressions would stop.. until she needed me to look concerned again.
At the time we obviously never knew how close she was to dying. Apparently the surgeon “shat himself” when she came in as he was sure she was going to die – he had never successfully operated on someone who’s haemoglobin count was so low – I checked online and it was then I realise how close it was. Apparently if we were 15minutes late then.. (Haemoglobin level of 2.6 or something like that - she was told she will be in the medical journal! ha)
My sheer lack of emotion at this and matched with my consistent suicidal thoughts and nightmares involving death including me dying over many years are.. I don't know.. starting to get a bit much for me. I seriously fucking hate myself for thinking these things above. I am kinda seeing a counsillor at the moment but am not finding it useful at all and I am not sure what is going on in my stupid head.

Why we might not really want to see Koh the face-stealer in LoK.
|
If Koh the face-stealer is one of the main antagonist of LoK, it goes without saying that there should be at least some face-stealing occuring at one point or another.
Now, a lot of people say that Amon's face might have been stolen by Koh, but the way I see it, if Koh is a main antagonist of Korra, he will stole the face of one dear and close to Korra. From what we've seen in the first three episodes, Korra is failing hard as an avatar (she has no spiritual connection, has yet no grasp on the problems of balance, and resort to violence to solve problems - the parallels in episode 3 between the mafia and her rustling the Amon's supporter to get some information was quite clear).
It is now quite easy to establish parallels between Kurruk and Korra (Kurruk said to Aang that the reason his fiancee's wive was stolen is that he was neglecting his duties), so why not Mako as a perfect candidate for face-stealing ?
This is pure speculation, but I just wanted to share this nightmare's fuel with you.
**tl;dr** : Batman will lose his face.

I am thinking about moving to Dormont. Advice, other suggestions?
|
Buying a house in Pittsburgh. My wife & I are leaning towards Dormont. She has family in Mt. Lebanon & we like the easy access to the T to get her and the kids in & out of the city without having to drive. The drawback for me would be that I work on the north side of town, but it is better than my current commute which is 140 miles a day. What are some good & bad things about Dormont? What are some other areas that can be suggested to us?
Thanks!

Reloading for the M1 Garand follow up questions (minimum overall length).
|
I am reloading for my M1 Garand using 46 grains of IMR 4895, millsurp brass, and Hornady 150 grain FMJBT bullets. My question is what should the minimum overall length be? My reloading manual calls for a longer length, but the bullet will not be seated to the crimp canelur (spelling?). Anyone with a similar load have a min overall length or any load data for the M1?
I'm working with these two sources of Info and the lee guide to modern reloading:

I was just laid off from work because of lack of work for the employees. I am 21 weeks pregnant and have no idea what to do from here. Anyone care to lend some advice?
|
So here is the whole story.
I moved from Québec to Ontario back in April for this job. It paid much better than my previous one, and my family lives here so I have family support with the currently leveling fetus I am carrying. So I jumped at the opportunity and moved myself and my boyfriend. We found an apartment, got moved in, he found a job, and all was happy.
But work has slowly been dying off. My job has lost some clients, and we were getting less and less phone calls (I worked in an inbound Teleservices Company). It didn't phase me though. I managed to get all of my data entry completed before the end of my shift, and like everyone else, read a book while waiting for calls.
I wasn't completely shocked when I lost my job, but I was still thrown as I was not the last person to be hired, and the kept her over me. My boss said it had nothing to do with the fact that I was pregnant, but just because he knew I would be missing days or half days for doctors appointments.
I don't know what I can do at the moment. I am getting my last paycheck at the end of the month, but I don't think I have worked long enough in Ontario to qualify for Unemployment. I am thinking about welfare... I am just really confused, and worried about what will happen if I can't find a job and we can't pay our bills, especially with a child on the way.
tl;dr I'm pregnant and lost my job, what do?

Is it safe to pass around alcoholic drinks- does drinking alcohol actually kill microbes? If so, what proof is required?

I was wondering how effective the alcohol that we drink is at killing microbes.
We have all seen them pour their Jack Daniels (but never the kerosene) in an open shoulder wound in TV shows, but what is this doing?

NSMB for the DS or NSMB 2 for the 3DS?
|
I haven't played ether, but I heard they are both very similar, I heard great things about New Super Mario Bros for the ds, and I read that NSMB 2 although good, doesn't change much from the first one. Which one should I get (price is pretty much the same)?
edit: went with NSMB ds ($16 used on amazon), who knows I might end up buying NSMB 2 when I finish with this one. Thanks for all the input.

First hand accounts of early civilian passengers on flights?
|
As I'm writing this, I'm sitting in Sao Paulo airport after enduring a long and hellish 15 hours flight from London. During the flight, my thoughts went to the early years of civilian airfare. Are there accounts of the experience of having to endure long flights? Was motion sickness widespread? Were there any airlines that were known for having a better service or anything of the like that we have today?

Arugula, Inside, in the Winter?
|
Hello all, I wanted to ask a few questions about growing arugula indoors. My family just can't seem to get enough of it.
1) Can I start it whenever I want? The temp in our house stays fairly constant at around 74 degrees, and there are hot spots/cold spots too.
2) I have a family of 4, and we eat a LOT. And we love our veggies, so my question is, how much should I grow? I know it doesn't take long to mature, but how much should each batch be?
3) What kind of set ups do you have/have seen? Pot(s)? One large tub sectioned off into areas?
Thanks again, and any other helpful advice is appreciated as well!!
ALSO: any other salad greens that are flavorful, easy to grow, and complimentary to arugula in both taste and cultivation are welcomed too!
