Just bored working the night shift and I saw a post that inspired me to see if r/blacksburg existed.... turns out it did. I guess there aren't too many people who check this out as there hasn't been a post in a month. Well just killing some time at work.... 3 more hours to go.

Catfort should follow Dogfort canon and perhaps show some comics from the other side.

I dont turn on the light. But if I need to I do that because I feel like if you open both eyes then you are awake and if u just have one open u can blag sleeping and go straight back to sleep

Don't be ridiculous. Should any dog be caught or killed, Dogfort will disavow all knowledge of his actions.

They're brilliant and have provided me with countless laughs the likes of which not even f7u12 could compete with. I have laughed out loud at my desk at work more this week than the entirety of my time at this company while reading them. So truly, thank you authors of DogFort. You are doing the world a valuable service.

Agreed. Edgar already called the offer a [lack of respect](http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5928384) You just can't show up for April and two weeks in November and expect to make a lot of money. Let's face it, he was terrible most of the season and he doesn't deserve much more than $1 million to be a back up. If he wants to be compensated for doing his job last year, he can add up how much time he spent on the DL and how many times he left runners and 2nd and 3rd and divide that by last year's contract.

Dogfort, I'd like to thank you. I'm looking at a real possibility of having to have my dog put down sometime by next June (an estimation on my part, admittedly), and reading the submissions by you guys is really helping me cope in a weird sort of way. So: thank you for the laughs, please keep them coming. They're making this situation a little easier.

Fellow Redditors I have started a new subreddit. I searched through the list and was unable to find something similar; so, please forgive me if I missed it (and CALMLY let me know if I did). If you collect video games from any era, console or handheld I want you in the r/gamecollecting subreddit. We can discuss strategies, tips, tricks and secrets for collecting video games. Whether you do it for fun, as a hobby or for profit you're welcome. There you can negotiate game trades, show off your collections and refine your connoissuerial (that's a real word, I swear) game tastes! [Head on over and start the party](http://www.reddit.com/r/gamecollecting) I started it less than 2 days ago, we have gathered 50 members and are steadily growing. I feel you guys and gals would have a lot to add. Head on over and join the party!

[I posted this before but it wouldn't show up in the subreddit so I try again...] Can anybody recommend some communities/resources for learning Arabic? The ones I've seen here on reddit seem to be inactive... Thanks!

Yeah, that was fairly schmarmy I know, but I wanted an iPad until I played with one. Then I realized what I really wanted was a good smart phone and a nice laptop. Not something in between. I think it works well for limited input programs, but word processing, etc. would be a nightmare. I can use a touch screen pretty well but I can't image typing as well or quickly as I do on a regular keyboard.

I know, its probably been said a million times by now, but i just need to thank everyone in here, its so much fun. We had to put our family dog down today, she was old, and her liver was failing. I held her in my arms as the doc' gave her the shot... it hasn't been a fun day at all, but coming here, seeing pics of happy dogs, and reading the funny punchlines makes me smile a little.. So thank you... TL:DR; Dog died to day, Dogfort made me smile, therefore, a big thanks to everyone in here... Edit: gramma and spelling mistakes..

Hello ladies, I'm a spanish speaker and I'm quite fluent with english. The thing is my girlfriend needs to learn english so I got here hoping there was a subreddit just for that. To my surprise there is even a LANL_Chinese but no LANL_English. So, is there such a resource? what would you recommend to someone that wants to start learning (en plan rápido) this language? Thanks in advance

Want to become a better man? Nearly all of the cells in your body change every 8 years. If you think back to something you did 10 years ago, it wasn't really you. We are a wave of energy and atoms, always picking up and dropping ideas and growing. It is easier to change than to stay the same - so why not make it a positive change? There is a need for this subreddit. - Men often avoid publicly seeking advice, as it is a sign of weakness or lack of experience. There is lots of self-help advice for women and relationships in the form of friendships and magazines. Men on the other hand don't really do any of that. However, many men *are* interested in improving themselves. - A lot of information on becoming a strong alpha male is in [/r/seduction](http://www.reddit.com/r/seduction/). This makes sense as it is important to be an alpha male when attracting women; but being an alpha male can totally alter the rest of your life, so not all of the information on it should be over there. Also "seddit" has two sides to it - (1) advanced thoery with in-depth stories, and (2) beginner's posts. The beginner style posts are questions perfectly suited to the answers presented in this subreddit. - This subreddit can be a starting point for new interests. e.g. If you want to get into going to the gym then it will point you to the best routines for beginners, or good threads in [/r/fitness](http://www.reddit.com/r/fitness). It will summarise simple interesting philosophies of life without you needing to read whole books - and if you want to learn more then you know which books to read. - Most self improvement advice gets constantly mentioned and rehashed in threads. "Dump her, Hit the gym, Read books". But that is not a terribly constructive thing to say. How do you go about doing these things? Here is a place to direct people. Consider it an FAQ on life for men - as apparently there was never one supplied to us. - Self improvement / life-advice for men is different to women. e.g. Typically men are happy when their career and aspirations are on track, and if these things are not going as hoped for then a man will feel inadequate or depressed - often regardless of whether they have a loving wife and kids. Generally women are happy when their relationships are in order - and if their career took a turn for the worse then they tend to not feel so bad with a loving family by their side. - There is an abundance of information on the internet, and most of the time you don't know what you are looking for. Everything here will be kept concise. This should narrow the search... This is a general hub into a series of self-improvement portals, and it will make sure you hit the ground running when you investigate further. All suggestions welcome. I will try to pump this subreddit up with as many high quality submissions I can over the coming days before a grand launch (perhaps in time for new years resolutions?) --- ### Now head on over to the [contents page](http://redd.it/ernyn). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Or do you want to start immediately? I suggest reading ["**Being a High Value Male**"](http://redd.it/eqgnt). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just got a tiffen uv filter today, and have already noticed it leaves ghosts in my photos. I understand lighting is important and everything, but sometimes you want a shot and you dont have the option to set up 50 reflectors, backdrops, and light sources, so what do i have to do to prevent ghosts? Did i just buy a bad quality filter, can i get a nanocoated filter or something? is there any you would suggest? is it a problem with my lens quality? ( this was default kit nikkon 18-55 ) just looking for tips, thanks :)

Dynamo was an _amazing_ system -- a JIT that translated machine code into machine code, and made it faster. Anybody who hasn't read [this](http://www.reddit.com/r/systems/comments/drw40/dynamo_a_transparent_dynamic_optimization_system/) is missing out. That it was ported to x86 & x64, released under a BSD licence, and didn't have the entire programming work going gaga just blows my mind.

Recently I've noticed a bunch of new people coming and I guess it is from when a post hit the main frontpage that brought a bunch of people here. I keep seeing plenty of comments that are not insightful being upvoted to the top. They are mindless comments for the most part and sometimes even memes that receive a good bit of upvotes when they should be downvoted and told not to repeat that in /r/truereddit. Is it possibly time for a repost of the expectation of truereddit to truereddit so the new members know? Possibly I should try finding another subreddit that doesn't suffer from this, but I feel like it is impossible...

I don't remember having anything on that tool, but http://groups.csail.mit.edu/commit/papers/2010/zhao-ismm10-ems64.pdf has stuff on another memory shadowing tool (umbra), and the overhead is around 1x to 4x as slow. http://www.burningcutlery.com/derek/docs/umbra-CGO10.pdf compares umbra to memcheck, and the figures are similar (2-4x slow down on average, compared to 5-10x for memcheck).

**tl;dr:** *This post is focused on men looking for women and wanting to improve their chances; especially with women they have not met before. It explains what kind of man is attractive to women - which, contrary to popular belief, is only slightly related to physical appearance.* I'm going to attempt to tell you the things that really matter. It will be concise, so don't skip paragraphs. Get ready! --- **Alpha males:** Women are attracted to [**Alpha Males**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_male). It is the same in nature as it is for humans - we have evolved to praise the leader of the group and offer them the first choice on mates. It is an evolutionarily efficient strategy for spreading the best genes, and this system of attraction is not going to change any time soon as it is programmed into our brains. An alpha male is confident, successful, interesting. Other people look up to or are jealous of him. To succeed you can't avoid being an alpha male. Some beta males will go out with (or even marry) good women and do well for themselves, but often the woman will, in time, lose attraction to the man if she senses they are needy or unsuccessful in any way. She may be in love with the man but not attracted to him - love and attraction are independent. --- **Attraction** Men are attracted to good-looking women. When judging women, men will usually agree on who is the most attractive. It is instinctively built into our ranking system. We value women almost entirely on appearance. We use a man's partner as some sort of measuring gauge to the accomplishments of the man - "he must be pretty successful to have a swimsuit model wife". It works differently for women. Women are attracted to alpha-male characteristics. Usually with a fair bit of work and some make up a woman can change her 'rating' from a 6/10 to a 8/10, or an 8/10 to 9/10 maybe. You would probably only get major changes in rating if she lost/gained a lot of weight, previously had acne, cut off her arms, etc. A man, on the other hand, can change his rating FAR more without even altering his appearance. By alternating between 'boring' and 'confident & interesting', a man could change between a 5/10 to an 8/10 throughout one night. By changing the way you dress and fixing your body language you could go from averaging a 6/10 to a 9/10 just with a little knowledge (and a large boost in confidence - which can time). When women judge men, they often will disagree on which men are attractive. Some will fall head over heels for a guy who others find repulsive. Women talk to each other about guys in order to know what the *social status* of some guys are. If a woman is not interested in a guy then hears all of her friends fancy him, then she will almost certainly reconsider and see the attractive side of him. (In the opposite scenario the guy who was told a girl is hot will likely still think she is fugly). To attract a woman (or anyone, for that case) you need to **demonstrate** that you are **higher value (DHV)** than them. Mostly this means to avoid looking/sucking up to them but the details are discussed further down. Ugly male celebrities are swarmed by attractive women because of their social status. --- **Being a nice guy** I was always brought up to be what I thought was 'nice', which actually made me a pushover for several years in school. I thought 'nice' included offering to help people who I knew would not offer anything in return. *There is a big difference between helping people without expecting anything in return, and helping people KNOWING that they will not give you anything in return*. I will still help an old lady cross the road, and I will carry somebody's suitcase up a flight of stairs in a train station if they need a hand and I am heading that direction. BUT I no longer will spend time helping somebody who is out for personal gain and would not do the same for me, even if they are a 'friend'. [\(Live by the Tit-for-Tat algorithm\)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tit-for-tat) By being 'nice' to a woman (e.g. buying her a drink) you are showing that you want something off her, which immediately makes her have control over you, and she will lose any ounce of attraction to you which she originally had as you have demonstrated lower value to her. By hiding your interest in a woman (particularly one who is used to having guys bend over backwards for her) it will make a woman respect you more, and often try to gain your full attention (if you give her your full attention without demonstrating higher value and making her attracted to you, then she has "win", will lose interest and move on) The reason some loud assholes are respected by their peers or admired by women is that they are indifferent to what people think of them. By not caring what people think of them they are showing that they are confident in themselves and who they are, while simultaneously letting everyone else around them know it too (usually very loudly). It demonstrates higher value to everyone around them. This is an extremely attractive quality. So a big secret to success is not caring what others think about you - avoid searching for their approval/disapproval of your actions. Unfortunately, caring what people think about you helps to make somebody a good person who values relationships - and not caring is frequently what makes many people ignorant dicks who think that they are always right. So what to do? It's difficult. Avoid doubting yourself out loud, but don't refrain from talking to people in private for advice. --- **Responsibilities that come with being the alpha male** An alpha male is one of the leaders of a group. When people respect you and look up to you they will come to you for guidance or help. People will expect things from you which they would not expect from a beta male, and if you do not live up to expectations then other males will question you or contend for the title; just like when a wolf shows weakness the second strongest male wolf in the pack will fight for the right to be the leader. You need to avoid showing weakness, as consciously and subconsciously people are looking out for it at all times. As a High Value individual in the room you will draw attention to yourself. Girls want to know if you are the real deal before they risk possible embarrassment by showing attraction towards you in front of their friends. Guys are either jealous beta males desperate to find a way in which they are better than you (even if it is trivial e.g. "oh, he looked a bit awkward then - he isn't *that* cool") OR they are other alpha males contending with you (sometimes called **AMOGs** for "alpha-male other-guy"). Showing weakness can mean showing submissive body language, giving in to somebody else, not fighting back when given a verbal attack or falling for a girl's "shit test". --- **Maintaining dominance** Basically you have to learn when to defend yourself. Most of the time when you are talking to strangers the guys will be cool with you and not really challenge you unless you are overstepping into their territory (meaning hitting on their women). You just need to be interesting and have a valuable conversation with the guys in order to win them over. Girls have things called "shit tests". They try to test you in clever ways to see whether you are dominant or submissive. You need to be able to recognise a shit test and act accordingly. One of the most frequent examples is a girl deliberately being late to see if you call her out on it. If she doesn't apologise well or have have reason then it was a shit test. You should react by making sure you are busy doing something when she turns up and making her wait for you to finish it. This is a brief overview. There is a lot to write so I will do a whole topic on it. --- **"What!? This is all stupid. Why are there these stupid rules and things I have to do that I've never heard before?! I'm not sure whether I believe all this stuff.."** It makes sense after a while. I've mentioned evolution a few times already - this is an evolutionarily efficient system of spreading the best genes from the best males. Confidence is an effective predictor of a man's value. Beta males rarely have the confidence to do some of the things alpha males do, so women have become attracted to confidence. However, confidence can be faked (faking is used a lot in nature - one example is hover flies evolving to look like wasps to scare everything away). To combat this faked confidence a woman will perform some discrete tests on a man to see if he really is what she expects him to be (shit tests). She will also challenge him and want to find out more about him to know whether or not he is high value. If a man walks the walk and talks the talk of a successful man but is manipulated or controlled by the woman in any way (usually by doing things in desire of sex) then he failed the test and is NOT the high value alpha male she had been testing him for. An alpha male will not be manipulated by sex. Sex is something he offers the woman *if she is lucky*, and he doesn't need to fulfil a woman's commands for it - he can get it from other women if he so wishes. --- --- ### THIS POST IS CONTINUED, IN "[Being a High Value Male #2](http://redd.it/eqxyk)" <<< ---

I love that it's 2010 and we're still actively porting NetBSD to anything and everything. I say "we", but I've never ported it to anything, but that doesn't still leave me impressed at porting efforts of now and of the past when it concerns NetBSD. The dreamcast I haven't booted in years still has the NetBSD disc in it.

**This is a continuation of [Being a High Value Male #1](http://redd.it/eqgnt).** **tl;dr:** *This second section on being an alpha male focuses on existing relationships. A beta male is content with where he is already in life, and will rely on his relationships when things go wrong, whereas an alpha male has life long ambitions and goals and will resolve his problems independently. A high value male prioritises his dreams before his relationship, and his woman secretly adores him for it.* --- **Never change your mind just to please a woman.** One of the most influential books in my life is "[The Way of the Superior Man](http://www.amazon.com/Way-Superior-Man-Spiritual-Challenges/dp/1889762105)" by David Deida. A lot of things in this post are based off this book. >*If a woman suggests something that changes a man's perspective, then he should make a new decision based on his new perspective. But he should never betray his own deepest knowledge and intuition in order to please his woman or "go along" with her. Both she and he will be weakened by such an action. They will grow to resent each other, and the crust of accumulated inauthenticity will burden their love, as well as their capacity for free action.* The woman will be happy in the short term that she has had control over her man. BUT this is not what she truly desires. She wants a man that is a dominant alpha male that will not give in to her. However, if she says something which is true then it is a beta male characteristic to stubbornly deny that you are wrong, even when you know you are, just to save face. If you are wrong frequently then this is also bad - people will eventually doubt everything you say, and be less interested in what you have to say. --- **Your life purpose should not be the relationship** Some people live to love their wife. While romantic (and though it sometimes works out very well for both individuals) this is usually not what the woman truly wants. A woman wants a man who has a mission in life, and is passionate about it. She *thinks* she wants to be his #1, but actually if this were to happen then she would lose respect (and therefore attraction) in him. --- **Focus on one thing** When already in a relationship: A woman will be more fulfilled by your love if you spend 30 minutes of undivided attention with her than if you were to spend 3 hours of divided attention. There are numerous studies coming out at the moment showing that multitasking greatly reduces the efficiency of humans. To succeed in life try and focus on things individually, rather than spreading your attention. --- **"Don't let your family stop you from reaching your destiny"** If a man puts off his destiny for the sake of his family then it weakens his soul. The woman will lose trust and sexual polarity with him. The family may overall make a gain because of his sacrifice initially, but if he cannot reignite his burning desire then the couple will soon turn unhappy and the whole family suffers. --- **Any good woman will test you persistently** A woman is attracted to a man who keeps his word, says what he means, and will remain unmoved by external forces. From my prior post I mentioned "shit tests" which women performed at the early stages of a relationship, to see whether a man is really truly high value. Expect these tests to never end. The most tests will occur with a high value woman in a relationship to a man who is of a near equal value or who has recently lowered his value. This means that you can expect more tests and challenges from the woman when you are at your lowest and least feel like having to deal with it; as she will also feel less secure about you and need to remind herself of how great you truly are. She will fire your life to higher plateaus of 'high' at the expense of forcing it to deeper valleys of 'low'. Man up! Tests come in the form of: challenging what you says or do, frequently changing her mind or flaking to see if she is called out on it, doubting you out loud, or attempting to undermine your ultimate purpose in life. When this happens you need to demonstrate that you are high value still. We she challenges you, do not give in, laugh off her pathetic attempt at a challenge. When she starts being erratic and changing her mind tell her to stop. If you are at a low point then do not let your emotions control your actions ever. This is an unattractive trait for a man to have. Remain confident in yourself. Remind yourself that you can escape whatever small slip-up you are currently experiencing. You need to believe this yourself as no matter what you tell your partner she will see whether you believe it yourself. Don't become down and never feel self-pity. Fix your problem and get out of the rut as soon as possible; there is no reason to dwell there. --- **Emotions** There is a spectrum: At the male end of this spectrum comes logic, and at the feminine end there is emotion. Women think through emotions more, whereas we think slightly more logically (I recommend that you never tell a woman this, as she will just get ... emotional!). When a woman says something like "I wish you were dead!" she does not actually mean it - it is her emotional response. If a man were to say that then you would have cause to worry (although that exact line is a beta male phrase). Imagine a wife telling her husband off for throwing his daughter up in the air and catching her - the man sees the logical side and believes he is doing no wrong (probability of dropping daughter = 0.5%, fun of one throw = 30. fun of daughter dropped and crying = -300. Therefore this is a good action on average) and the wife's maternal instincts can only think of the emotions of the daughter getting hurt. **As a man you should not let your emotions control your actions, ever.** Do not do anything out of anger, or sadness. It is a feminine trait. Control your emotions. Talking about your emotions can be healthy, but avoid doing it all the time. If you are feeling down because something is wrong then say how you are going to resolve this issue, because you are a man in control of his life. e.g. Say something like "I regret getting fired from my job. Well, I'm going to go get another job tomorrow". Don't think this section is telling you to hide your emotions. A positive cloud of energy should follow you where you go. Be the most fun and happiest person wherever you go. --- ### THIS POST IS CONTINUED, IN ["Being a High Value Male #3"](http://redd.it/eqz61) <<<

If you want to be a High Value man then the words you speak should be high value. People should all want to listen to what you say when you start talking, and give you their utmost attention. Girls will notice when everyone is paying attention to you and will be more attracted to you. - Keep a high signal-to-noise ratio. Look for any filler words/phrases that you use in sentences: e.g. "At the end of the day", "when push comes to shove", "like, I know, yeah, like, whatever man". Make a conscious effort to **avoid saying** them. After a while (they say it takes a month to remove/create a habit) you will no longer use them. - Avoid saying "I think" or "I reckon" - just say what you think. Saying "I think" is a bit like asking somebody whether you are right; whereas just saying what you think makes you sound more confident in what you say. It is now a higher risk that somebody will attack your views, so be prepared to fight for them. - What you say should be clear. Don't talk too fast. Say whatever message you can in **as few words as possible, slowly**. - **Add pauses for dramatic effect**. This is really powerful. When you already have the attention of most people in a group and have a good part to an anecdote (or a conclusion to a viewpoint) coming up you should lean forward slightly and pause what you were saying, then look a few people around the group in the eye, then continue talking. This is very powerful because: (1) It shows confidence that you know others want to hear what you have to say (2) everyone notices a pause like this and looks around at each other, so it draws a lot of awareness of your presence. This might only work when everyone really wants to know what your are going to say - with the reward comes risk. - The one time you should be repeating yourself is when you have an opinion which you are trying to get others to side with. In which case repeating yourself is a bit like making it sound as if several people are agreeing (even if you are the only one talking). For extra persuasiveness rephrase it differently each time to make it sound as if you are giving different viewpoints from different people all saying similar things. - **A man's word is his honour**. If you go back on your word then you become unreliable and less attractive to a partner or more of a beta male in the eyes of other men. - Of course the people who are best at conversation are the ones who talk less - listening is the most important thing.

**This is a continuation of [Being a High Value Male #2](http://redd.it/eqxyk).** **tl;dr:** *The importance of being passionate, and whether passion contradicts with being an alpha male.* *This is probably the last post on Being a High Value Male, and ties up some loose ends on the previous two articles.* --- **Being Passionate** A huge step in the direction to living a rich and successful life. It sounds obvious and everyone thinks or says that they are passionate about anything, but they rarely are. I cant really sum it up better than the author of this blog does; so I suggest you read this post; http://www.kinowear.com/blog/why-passion-is-so-attractive/ I can recall times when I have spoken passionately about things and it really does draw attraction to you like a magnet. I suggest writing down a list of things that really grip your attention and get an emotion out of you. One example I used the other day was the movie "Funny Games". Its an alternative style horror flick which avoids all horror film clichés. It constantly teases the audience and has one fantastic 11 minute scene. I spoke about what I was feeling throughout the scene passionately to a girl, and she melted. --- **An important distinction** > "So, it is critical that I be passionate, but at the same time I need to be an 'alpha male' by avoiding being emotional? Sounds like those two things contradict each other..." (before reading the next line think about this quote. is everything said correct? do they contradict?) Passion and alpha-ness can coexist. Recall from "BaHVM #2" that an alpha male does not let emotions control his actions. He may still show emotions. They should pretty much always be positive/passionate when attracting, or neutral/indifferent when somebody is being a dick / testing them. *It took me a long time to realise what has been said in this paragraph. It sums up being a high value male very well. Let it be your lesson of the day.* --- **Another important distinction** >how do you convey passion without breaking the "be concise" guideline? Be concise to show you are high value and interesting. THEN be passionate when they already want to get to know you as you have established yourself. Avoid being passionate to somebody that doesn't already look up to you - it may make you look needy or desperate for attention. Your passion can be used as a prize; women love to work to make you open up. Being concise is useful for offering very high value conversation - you say a very small amount of interesting information and then the person talking to you opens up and talks about it, or questions you further. It makes them more likely to be initiated and into the conversation. It is especially important when you are first meeting somebody. You want the other person to be contributing to the conversation as much as possible (to make them want to talk to you (people love talking and don't like listening), and also avoid making it look like you are trying to impress them or get their attention), so say as little as possible and give them topics to say as much as possible - i.e. be concise. This high-value conversation makes you appear as a high-value individual to the other person. Once you establish yourself as a high-value individual, that is the time it is safest to open up and unleash your passions upon them. I would suggest that you avoid being passionate with somebody unless you know that they look up to you. You can be high-value to somebody without having spoken to them remember - If you have social status (everyone has seen you / knows you, you look cool, people talk about you) you can be passionate to somebody almost immediately. Girls go crazy when they see you be passionate. It is sometimes great if you make the other person have to "earn" the right to hear your passions. Open up about your dreams and such after the other person has contributed something interesting about themselves (or you can do it after kissing or having sex). They will escalate to a new plane of loving you and wanting to know more about you. This makes you a mysterious dark horse that can only be "tamed" (or opened up) by their love and affection. --- **Get your life goal formulated** Even if you are young and don't know where you are really going yet, have some general aims for where you are heading. It says bad things about a man if you ask him what he wants to do with his life and he does not know (although if you are still in school or college it is sort of understandable/accepted). Your goal may be career related or not career related. Some people live to travel to every corner of the Earth and see everything they can. Some people dream of being teachers. Others want to be the best middle heavyweight Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter in the Northern Hemisphere. There are many advantages to knowing your life goal. It works great for conversations (especially if you are young and want to stand out compared to everyone else): My dream is to be in the position to form a tech startup by the time I am 30-35. I will need 10 years experience in the field I estimate before I will be in a good position to go it alone and form a company. It is my dream to have complete control over my own technology and build my own successful business. There are a few different fields I have options between at the moment. Figure out your life goal, then tell people about it passionately when the opportunity arises (I've not told you my dream passionately for the sake of being concise (I could go on all day about it)). Girls will swoon over a man that knows what he is doing with his life, especially since he is passionate about it. Ask people what they want to do with their life; if they don't know then maybe try and help them figure it out and you have demonstrated immense value to them. If they do know what they want to be then you just have to listen to them for an incredible conversation starter. Cut through the bullshit and straight to their core and what they really like to talk about. --- Might add some more here at a future date... --- Next articles: - How women think - Reward mechanisms

Merry winter holiday(s) of choice! Festivus, Yule, Christmas, Boxing Day, winter solstice, Hanukkah, New Year's. No matter what you celebrate, you can still enjoy a story about Santa. That's why I picked out *A Reversible Santa Claus*, a 1917 version of the Grinch (I believe - I've only read a bit of it). You can read it at a few places (it's free!): * [Internet Archive's BookReader](http://www.archive.org/details/reversiblesantac00nichiala) * [Project Gutenberg](http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/15044) * [Open Library](http://openlibrary.org/books/OL7042016M/A_reversible_Santa_Claus) The latter two have options available to download in many formats (plain text, epub, pdf, etc.). Over the next few weeks, try to read it when you can. Feel free to discuss it here, or I might make a new thread sometime in January to get more conversation going. ---- In the future, I'd like to try voting on a book, or having one person be picked to choose a book for the month. They should be popular enough to find at most basic libraries, or freely available online (basically, anything written before WWII has its copyright expired).

I received a new Canon Powershot SX130 IS from my family today. I've owned a handful of point and shoot digital cameras, but I always just used default settings on the automatic setting. I want to learn what all of the settings are used for and how to make the absolute most of my nice new tool. Are there any good introductory sites or books that can give me good advice and insight into the full potential of my new camera? Any personal tips or tricks you have from experience? Thanks guys and Merry Christmas!

I'm currently shooting on a D50. I have 2 lenses, a 50mm f1.8 and a 70-300 F4-5.6. I take a ton of photos that I love with the 50mm, but am looking to get into some cool ski photography this winter. Everyone says you need f2.8 glass to shoot sports, but I tend to disagree in skiing's case. There is so much light reflected from the snow, even on a cloudy day you are usually shooting at f8, 1/1000 shutter speed at ISO 200. (and that includes over exposing the snow a little to get white snow with people that aren't over exposed. that being said, I have no lens wider than my 50mm. I feel that even in every day "people" photography, this is a huge set back. As I get up on the mountain more, I find that there are some really cool shots that I could be getting if I had a wider angle lens. I'm currently saving up for a Tokina 11-16mm, but I wont be able to afford it until this summer (wedding coming up this fall, plus moving to a new town where rent is through the roof). What is a good alternative sub $150 that I could use until I can afford to drop the $700 Canadian it will cost me to get the 11-16, while not missing out on the entire ski season?

I played an on-line that came out of Russia around 02-04. You had to direct a laser around different obstacles. I believe it had 20 different levels. Loved this game if anyone knows I wouldd appreciate it. Thanks

Can you expand on the passion topic? I'm having a hard time understanding exactly how you convey passion without veering off into obsession (ex. stereotypical D&D nerd) or breaking the "be concise" guideline. I love music and I know quite a bit about it, for example. A lot of what I know about music, however, would go completely over the head of a layman, but "I love music" is obviously insufficient in conversation. Thanks!

To avoid looking obsessed, don't bring the topic up out of nowhere again and again. Also, there isn't a "be concise" rule for talking about your passions to women. If you have the opportunity to talk with people about it, then take advantage of it and feel free to take your time. The idea with the passions is that it's not a "gimmick" to attract women. It's truly developing yourself into an interesting person, and it shines through so that a woman can see that you aren't just interested in sleeping with her.

> Do not talk about your emotions. Avoid saying "I feel ...". If you have to say something like this talk to your Mum or sister or a good girl friend who wont gossip. Don't do it to somebody you want to be attracted to you. To a partner (or anyone you want respect from, which should be basically everyone) say something like "I regret getting fired from my job. Well, I'm going to go get another job tomorrow". I _feel_ like this is just bullshit. I'm very open in talking about my feelings, and if a woman doesn't like that then that's _her_ problem. Pretty good stuff otherwise though :p

You are right, I went overboard there. It also contradicted with the next paragraph that said the total opposite. Thanks for the constructive criticism. I've updated it to be along the lines of "Talking about your emotions can be healthy, but avoid doing it all the time".

Hi, does anyone know what are the main recent results in signal processing (let's say in the last 10 years, as considered by academic researchers)? What I would call a major result would be something of the importance of for example : - Multiresolution analysis theory (wavelets etc...) - High resolution spectral analysis methods -etc I know there is a lot of research recently in the areas of compressed sensing and in the study of the sparsity of signals, but all that I have seen in this field seemed a little sketchy to me. What rigorous results were obtained in these areas?

That is a very good question so I've added a new section on it: --- **Another important distinction** >how do you convey passion without breaking the "be concise" guideline? Be concise to show you are high value and interesting. THEN be passionate when they already want to get to know you as you have established yourself. Avoid being passionate to somebody that doesn't already look up to you - it may make you look needy or desperate for attention. Your passion can be used as a prize; women love to work to make you open up. Being concise is useful for offering very high value conversation - you say a very small amount of interesting information and then the person talking to you opens up and talks about it, or questions you further. It makes them more likely to be initiated and into the conversation. It is especially important when you are first meeting somebody. You want the other person to be contributing to the conversation as much as possible (to make them want to talk to you (people love talking and don't like listening), and also avoid making it look like you are trying to impress them or get their attention), so say as little as possible and give them topics to say as much as possible - i.e. be concise. This high-value conversation makes you appear as a high-value individual to the other person. Once you establish yourself as a high-value individual, that is the time it is safest to open up and unleash your passions upon them. I would suggest that you avoid being passionate with somebody unless you know that they look up to you. You can be high-value to somebody without having spoken to them remember - If you have social status (everyone has seen you / knows you, you look cool, people talk about you) you can be passionate to somebody almost immediately. Girls go crazy when they see you be passionate. It is sometimes great if you make the other person have to "earn" the right to hear your passions. Open up about your dreams and such after the other person has contributed something interesting about themselves (or you can do it after kissing or having sex). They will escalate to a new plane of loving you and wanting to know more about you. This makes you a mysterious dark horse that can only be "tamed" (or opened up) by their love and affection.

Feeling as if I have just reached "Aha!" moment number one (finally grasping the basic definitions) for fiber bundles, I'd like to sharpen intuition by asking some natural questions. * Are there any sort of properties two bundles share if they have the same trivial bundle? Maybe existence of a homeomorphism? * [wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_bundle) has exact sequence-like notation for fiber bundles. Is the similarity between these purely notation or can we think of bundles as sequences (maybe if they are topological groups)? * I'm still unsure about the hairbrush example (in the wiki). E is the brush, B is a cylinder, F is a line segment, and the projection maps any point on the bristle to its base on the cylinder. So let's choose a base point of a bristle and grab a neighborhood U around it in B (a curved disk region) and assume there are no other bristles in that region. The part I'm stuck on is that pi^-1 of U doesn't seem to look much like UxF (a curved disk with a line sticking out of it and a curved-base cylinder, respectively). I just can't see a homeomorphism between a line and a cylinder. Could someone clarify? * [This wiki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_bundle) states in the introduction that the hairy ball theorem shows tangent bundles to be non-trivial on 2n-spheres. Seeing as the theorem is quite old and may have been developed before the bundle language, does anyone know if there are "easy" modern proofs of this theorem using bundles? Thanks

Here's the setup: JavaScript is being constructed on the page itself based on input from the query string. It looks something like this: <script> var someVar = 'CONTENT GOES HERE'; var info = { asdf: someVar, dddd: 'SOME OTHER CONTENT', eee: 'SOME OTHER OTHER CONTENT' } </script> In all of the inputs, single quotes are being turned into an HTML entity (&#39). Backslashes are not being escaped. I've also noticed that it's possible to add newlines by including %0D in the input. Is it possible to break out of the strings here, or are we effectively trapped? I'm thinking that we're trapped (the best I've been able to do is caused an "unterminated string literal" error), but I figured I would see if anyone else has some insights to share. :-)

###MeetLGBT Featured Member: December 29, 2010 #[theirfour](/user/theirfour) >##Stats >>* **Age:** 24 >>* **Gender:** Cismale >>* **Location:** Oakland, CA >>* **Pictures:** [Here's me repping a college I never actually attended](http://i.imgur.com/vlVqN.jpg) and accompanying [the sadness that most male-desiring women get when they find out that I can't want them](http://i.imgur.com/bWPrO.jpg). Also, [Cheez-its? WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE?!?!](http://i.imgur.com/xT5W6.jpg) >##Life >>* **Job:** I'm a middle school math teacher, so pretty much 90% of my life revolves around what goes on inside of my classroom, whether it's planning for it, grading from it, or avoiding it all together. There are a lot of great things about teaching, but there is also a grotesque amount of unconquerable bullshit, and I already know that I'm going to burn out in the next couple of years and have to (heartbreakingly) leave a career which a large and deep part of me really loves. >>* **Hobbies:** I love listening to music and can, with alarming accuracy and decent pitch, replicate a staggeringly large number of song lyrics on command. Once I finally get around to saving up enough money, I will buy a nice stage piano for my apartment so I can begin creating music again, rather than just consuming it. Other enjoyments include reading, writing, the occasional videogame, bowling (not the sport), and running. Given that I expend solar amounts of energy being surrounded by and responsible for kids all day every day, I tend to be rather introverted in my free time to balance things out. I hate going out to bars/clubs, and an evening-in is almost always my idea of a good evening. >>* **Pets:** I wish. My apartment complex (which I love) has a no-pet policy, and I don't have enough time to be able to take care of one, but later in life, once I'm really tired of being alone, I'll definitely pick up a dog or cat or seven. >>* **Political views:** I haven't educated myself well enough on most issues to take a discernable and unshakable stand, so when political issues come up I find myself spending more time gleaning information than asserting my views. That being said, I'm beyond passionate about educational issues and can talk anyone's ear off about how the major power players in educational reform are offering solutions to misidentified problems or how standardized testing has narrowed our definition of academic success to a powerfully negative focus that is actively hurting the lives and learning of millions of students nationwide. >>* **Religious views:** Empathetic atheist. Your faith or lack thereof is yours, and I support you in what you believe. >##What makes you _\_\_\_\_: >>* **Laugh:** Quick wit. Wordplay. My students, who say and do downright hilarious shit every single day. >>* **Happy:** Good time spent with good people--preferably one-on-one or in small groups. Bowling. Being able to help someone get something. Music (especially while bowling). My students, who are beautiful and talented and funny and endearing. >>* **Sad:** Hate--my students could effortlessly repeat to you my mantra: "There is already enough hate in the world. Please don't add to it." (it pains me to see queer people and atheists hating on Christians as much as it pains me to see the reverse). Myself, as I have internalized some very dark things that, on long and lonely nights, tend to get the best of me. My students, who often come from broken or abusive families and violent cultures. >>* **Angry:** Education and [everything else that gets tied up in it](http://acommenton.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/october/)--the system is broken and failing, and the people who are doing the most to help counteract that [are the ones who are getting shit on the most these days](http://acommenton.wordpress.com/2010/10/07/fuck/). My students, who often piss me off because, let's face it: I'm human and they're eighth graders. >>* **Pet Peeves:** List items (such as this one that I created for the express purpose of having an example) that don't fit their intended structure. When my shoes stick to the floor in public restrooms/movie theaters. People in public who inconsiderately block the whole sidewalk/aisle/street. Cheating. >##Favorite things: >>* **Movies:** My all time favorite will always be The Truman Show, but I'll like any movie that can make me consider something or humanize a circumstance that I would otherwise never have insight into. >>* **TV Shows:** Arrested Development and 30 Rock are two sublime comedies. Firefly and Lost were my sci-fi loves. Modern Family and Glee (despite the latter's terribleness as of late) are the things I currently keep up with. >>* **Books:** Off the top of my head, some that have had the biggest impact on my life have been Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Randy Shilts's And the Band Played On, Neil Stephenson's Snow Crash, Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, and others that I'm surely forgetting. >>* **Drinks:** I don't drink alcohol, but I pound Diet Coke like there's no tomorrow. Also, I drink milk like it's water, which often creeps people out. >>* **Items:** I simply cannot live without my laptop, my phone, my pipe, and my porn. >##Sexuality >>* **Orientation:** Kinsey 6 Gay. The presence of facial hair raises that to 11. >>* **Coming out:** I posted a [rather bleak Readers' Digest version of my coming out story](http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/e1kz6/why_do_some_gay_people_live_in_the_closet_and_lie/c14k2zp) a while ago. It was really, really difficult, and I'm still living with and getting through a lot of the issues it's created. What my writeup didn't capture, however, was the good that's come from it. I've watched people grow and develop and confront the issue and come out on the right side despite their initial prejudices. I've seen love win out over hate, and I'm constantly amazed by the sheer number and integrity of people who value me and others for who we are and not who we're pretending to be. >>* **Relationship status/background:** TWENTY-FOUREVER ALONE. I haven't actually been in a relationship yet, as my interests lend themselves to falling deeply and lengthily in love with straight men who only realize their own latent bisexuality years too late. Given my introverted nature, I don't really meet a lot of people, but I'm planning to try online dating for the first time in the coming year, which means I'm gearing up to experience, in my mid-twenties, the heartbreak and drama that most everybody else got out of the way in high school. >##Misc. >>* **Self-promotions:** If you want to internet friend me elsewhere, hit me up on [last.fm](http://www.last.fm/user/theirfour), [rateyourmusic](http://rateyourmusic.com/~theirfour), [or shelfari](http://www.shelfari.com/theirfour/shelf). If you want to read my overbearingly pedantic rantings and chronicles of heartbreaking woe, hit up my blog. >>* **Subreddit Promotion:** I'm kind of loving [/r/LGBTrees](/r/LGBTrees) and [/r/lookatmydog](/r/lookatmydog) right now. >>* **Reddit highlights:** To save people the tedious process of poring over every last detail of my user history (because I'm just that interesting, right? Right.), here are some of the more prominent things I've done on this site: >> I laboriously aggregated over 4000 users of r/lgbt to make a [username collage](http://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/crzym/rlgbt_this_is_us/). I posted a clever [grammarfuck sentence](http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/cj7j7/til_that_redditors_who_dont_parse_this_title_it/) that got frontpaged. I got an overwhelming/amazing response from readers who liked my [summary of things most straight people don't understand](http://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/ed8v0/things_most_straight_people_just_dont_understand/c178scr). And I wrote a [two-part rant](http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/bisxx/what_teachers_are_up_against_nowadays/c0mzx2b) about educational issues that I feel gives a decent insight into some things that most people outside of the profession don't necessarily consider. >> Anyway, thanks for reading (I'm a hopelessly wordy pedant, so commendations for sitting through all of that), and feel free to ask me anything (seriously--anything). ---- If you'd like to be a featured member, **[click here for details](/d880k)**

**tl;dr:** There is a spectrum of masculine and feminine ways of thought. Women think more in terms of emotions, so to persuade them you need to empathise with their emotions more rather than bombard them with logical arguments. When a woman is arguing with you stand your ground if you believe you are right and never give in for the sake of making the argument go away. Do not act emotionally in an argument as it is a beta male trait - remain unmoved. Pay full attention to your woman when she is arguing with/at you and *wait for her* to finish and leave. Men and women are just different when it comes to some things. Neither way is right or wrong - if while writing this I am at all patronising to the sexier sex then it is unintentional or merely playful (what is life but an iteration of jokes?). Some generalisations are made. To please both, men and women should be treated equally, but differently (this is difficult and the cause of many problems in the world). --- **There is a spectrum of masculine and feminine thought** This way of presenting the male and female minds as a spectrum was first presented to me in "The Way of the Superior Man". Its is a simplification, but a nice way of representing the way men and women think. It makes great conversation. Talk to a girl and ask where they think they are on the spectrum, and what they want in a man, etc. Said in the most basic way possible; On the left-hand masculine end of the spectrum is logic, and on the right-hand-side feminine end there is emotion. A very masculine man (an alpha male) will have a mind which is very far towards the left-hand masculine side. His actions are declared by logic and reason. A very feminine woman will be at the far right hand side, and her emotions will govern nearly every action she takes or word she says. To find what kind of long-term partner you are best suited to place a mirror in the middle of the spectrum, and see where the point you are is reflected to. e.g. **A very masculine man is well suited to a very feminine woman** (she will thrive off his stability and strength and not settle for any less. Because of her strong emotions she will show strong physical and emotional love to the man; which is what he wants. Sometimes the man lets his emotions out and they break up spectacularly, then later have passionate sex as they are both so physically attracted to the other). **A fairly feminine man is well suited to a fairly masculine woman** (they will be more similar to each other than the polar opposite man and woman. A slightly masculine woman will be more logical and not cause as much stress on the man. The feminine man will be able to relate to the girl in ways a more masculine man wouldn't, creating a stronger emotional bond at the expense of possibly losing some physical attraction.). A very dominant woman who is more in the masculine end of the spectrum than the feminine side is likely to pair well with a very feminine man. Often when somebody is *friend-zoned* it is because they are a male close to the centre of the spectrum (which also makes them somewhat of a beta-male), and they are after a very feminine woman who is not anywhere near their reflection. These men are better suited to slightly more masculine women who are not as emotionally needy and more logical. By now you may have a couple concerns. "I kind of wouldn't mind marrying a logical woman, but you are telling me to be an alpha male at the far left of the spectrum - which would be incompatible", I hear you logically reason. Well, I aspire to be an alpha male to attract women as I am at the point in my life where I wish to experience many passionate short term relationships. I am not yet at the stage to want to meet the girl I want to marry. When I wish to get married I will have the ability to move my position on the spectrum from the far left to somewhere closer to the centre - wherever I feel I naturally belong at that time in my life. Remember: This spectrum is for measuring the successfulness of relationships. A masculine man will generally always be more attractive, just as a feminine woman is to us (as she will be more passionate and loving, which is what we desire). --- **How to react when a woman is very emotional** Us men are usually repulsed or terrified of a woman who has suddenly become very emotional. In such a case they will say things they do not mean, or behave irrationally. Things they do might be illogical. - **First mistake a man may make:** Trying to fix a bad situation (e.g. if a friend has been mean to her then suggesting ways to fix the friendship is a bad move - listen to her complain and agree). When a man tries to fix a problem a woman is emotional about she sees it as very patronising - she wants you to listen and talk about it. It is the opposite for men - if you talk about it with them then they see it as patronising, but if you try and help them fix it then it is respectful). Just be a shoulder to cry on when you are needed. If she wants you to do something she will let you know. - **Second mistake a man may make:** Walking away or avoiding her when she is irrational and emotional. One of the greatest pleasures to a woman is when a man stands strong and unreactive to an emotional tantrum directed at him. She *needs* somebody dependable and strong, in order to trust and love him. If negative emotional attack is being directed towards you and you are logically in the right, then don't get mad or show an emotional response. You can say that you believe she is in the wrong. Don't back down. Wait for her to finish venting, and let *her* leave. Listen to her entirely and give her your full attention, and remain unmoved. --- **Indirect questioning and empty complaints** A complaint about a certain thing from a woman can usually be about something entirely different. E.g. "Why are you spending so much time on reddit when you still don't have a job?" - You could have 4 job interviews the next day and be totally prepared for them. The worst reply to this is: "I'm only on here for an hour or two". A slightly better (but maybe still bad) reply might be "What?! I've got 4 interviews tomorrow!" - purely logical replies are worthless if she is fighting emotionally. A good reply would be cutting through her question and demonstrating that you know what she is actually saying (women love this) and also emotionally reassuring her: "I know you feel insecure about the job situation. I'm ready for the interviews tomorrow and pretty confident that I got a good shot. I'm just relaxing a bit right now". Her complaint about the job might not be about your current financial situation - it may be that she is worried that you are becoming lazy and unambitious - which are unattractive qualities. As well as reading reddit you could have a couple tabs open on "how to ace interviews" or something else vaguely productive towards your life mission. --- **History is less important to women than to men** Men base their opinions of others on their track record. A man who cheats and lies all the time with be untrusted by other men. A good man who became a dick for a day will still be a good man, but temporarily treated with caution. Women typically live in the moment - A saint of 30 years who says one mean thing to a woman will be treated as if he has been a douche all his life. A serial liar and cheat who unexpectedly brings flowers will be rewarded like a white knight. Women can be surprisingly forgiving when in a good mood, and surprisingly unforgiving in a bad mood. --- To change a woman's mind: you need to control her emotions more than focus on logical arguments. I'll have a whole article on persuasion at some point.

I got On Numbers and Games for Christmas and I've been reading through it a little bit and Conway (like all textbooks I've read) doesn't really define addition he just assumes it. Now assuming the standard construction of the natural numbers i.e. 0:=|{}| 1:=|{{}}| 2:=|{ {},{{}} }| etc How does one define addition, it occurs to me that if you consider the sets that two integers n and m correspond to then n+m could be defined as the cardinality of their disjoint union. Then the negative numbers could of course be defined as their additive inverses, then define division and mutliplication, etc. Is there a more elegant method for defining addition?

Sorry to bug you guys, but after several attempts, I can't seem to track down the name of an Atari arcade game and thought you might be able to help. It came out in the late eighties or early nineties. It was a sit down racing game, but it was futuristic and set in space. It was on a free-floating track with twists and turns. The best way to describe the track is it was like the bonus round in Sonic when you go for the chaos emeralds. There were flashing spots on the track you try to run over because it would make you vehicle go faster. I used to play the crap out of it at the arcade in the Mall of the Bluffs in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

I've never done much B/W since I've gone digital, but I want to do some B/W portraits. There are a couple tones that interest me and I'm curious how to achieve them through lighting and post production. First, I've always liked this super dark tone: http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2010-10-08-assumenothing.jpg And the second, I know was shot on film but I would like to emulate. http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/11523653/ZiKill.jpg What do I need to know?

Right now, I have a few local stations, and a bunch of public stations bookmarked for listening to the radio online (most taken from [NPR's list](http://www.npr.org/templates/websites/musicstreams.php?t=10001). I'd like to get a bit more variety - all different types of music appreciated. Any recommendations for stations?
