taggartcontinental | I don't get what there is not to like about veggies! Each has a distinct flavor and texture, and sure, you may not like them *all* but there have to be some that you enjoy. If not, then you haven't tried enough to know. There's this stigma with vegetables that causes people to go in expecting to hate them, and it deters them from trying them in the first place. I guess first figure out your favorite flavor profiles: nutty, earthy, spicy, sweet, etc. And then figure out textures you like and dislike. For example, I love sweet and earthy foods, so I love green peppers and mushrooms. But I hate slimy textures, so I'll eat green pepper if it's chopped up or in a sauce, but I'll avoid eating it if it's baked because I hate how the skin gets. I guess from what you described, you seem to like the starchy stuff. That's a good starting point!
Once you've figured that out, you move on to ways of preparing these brand new vegetables you are so passionate about! If it really does kill you to eat the vegetables straight up, or it takes you some time to get used to it, there are so many other options to consider. You can use these vegetables as substitutes for other less-healthy foods. Let's say it turns out that you really like cauliflower and you never knew it! It's white, it's starchy, it's grainy, just like a potato! But you don't know how to prepare it or eat it. Well, how would you prepare the potato? Do the same with the cauliflower, substituting all or part of the potato for your new favorite veggie. Mashed potatoes and cauliflower, baked, roasted, etc. Now consider other veggies/grains/foods that are similar to those you like, that you can incorporate in similar ways.
we can throw recipes at you til you're drowning but that's what the entire internet is for. It's more imporant that you first find what you like, and then you'll be inspired to prepare or invent your own. Give a man a fish/teach a man to fish, yadda yadda.
Once you've figured that all out, and you do decide to prepare your own recipes, this is my personal approach, I could be entirely wrong, but it works for me: I break recipes down into 3 or 4 parts.
1. What does the recipe need to taste good? These are your spices, herbs, garlic, onions, dressings, etc. It's all subjective, so don't be intimidated (or lazy).
2. What does the recipe need to be filling and healthy? This is where I add in the base. If it were a painting, it would be the canvas. If it were a building, this would be the foundation. This is where I sneak in the extra vegetables or fillers. For example, if it's a spaghetti sauce, I shred some zucchini, mushrooms, etc. You can't taste them, and they're small enough that you don't notice them, but they make the sauce chunky and filling and you're getting the much needed nutrients.
3. What is it that I really want to eat that I am forced to prepare in a recipe because otherwise I would be considered a monster (why can't I just eat peanut butter out of the jar??)? so you have your canvas, you know what you want it to taste like, but this is the most important piece because it's what you really want to eat. For example, if you wanted to make a tuna sandwich, this would be the tuna. The canvas would be the celery and onions and your flavoring would be your mayo or your lemon or your salt and pepper.
4. And finally, if you're baking or making something complicated, what does the recipe need to actually work? This probably isn't relevant to you yet, since I'm guessing you're not yet a master chef, but if you were baking for example, this category would be your baking soda, your salt to boil water, your yeast to make bread rise. etc.
Woof. I hope that helps.
TL;DR don't judge all vegetables as the same. das racist.

scurf_ | I understand that it's a lot to load, but there's also an 8gb install. When you add up the lobby timers and entire minutes of loading screens for every single session change, it gets a bit tedious; especially for those with limited play time. If you're trying to grind, about half of your time ends up being wasted. Grinding is an absolute necessity if you want the full GTA sandbox experience. And you have to do *a lot* of it. To the point where you're spending more time grinding and waiting to grind than actually having fun. Then there's the cloud servers, the timeouts, the session kicks, the unable to connects, the progress loss, the *fucking* payout nerfs...
I've probably spent less than 1/4 of my time in GTAO actually doing what I want to do. That's a problem. And this is coming from someone who usually enjoys grinding. It's like farming the infinity pistol every, single, day.
**TL;DR** Time is money. Longer missions with better payouts to even out the waiting. Or, ranked and unranked lobbies.

DeathisOmega | I always thought that the hardest part for people starting out is how to reassess what we know about foods, portions, portion sizes, and nutrients.
I would love to see a daily/ weekly recipe up on a wall somewhere with a complete breakdown of ingredients, cooking instructions, macro information, and overall nutritional breakdown, sized for 2. For family meal planning and dates, makes it easier, motivates people to live it outside of the gym.
tldr: this may be a retarded idea, but I'm really hungry right now. | I always thought that the hardest part for people starting out is how to reassess what we know about foods, portions, portion sizes, and nutrients.

Xenko | I think it is a coding error. The wrinkler cookie sucking equation is:
me.sucked+=(((Game.cookiesPs/Game.fps)*Game.cpsSucked))
Game.cookiesPs/Game.fps is just your CPS; however, that multiplier is:
sucked=1;
for (var i in Game.wrinklers)
{
if (Game.wrinklers[i].phase==2) sucked-=1/20;
}
Game.cpsSucked=(1-sucked);
Which means that Game.cpsSucked is the total sucking rate (maximum 50%). If you go back to the cookie sucking equation, you see that EACH sucker will take your CPS times the Total Sucking Rate. Thus with 10 suckers, **each** sucker will be eating 50% of your CPS, rather than the expected 5%.
If we try it with your example: 112 T CPS with 9 wrinklers means each should be sucking 50 T per second (rather than the expected 5.6 T per second). Assuming 7.5 hours sleep, each wrinkler should suck 1.35 Qi overnight. Given the 10% bonus upon popping, you should expect ~1.5 Qi per wrinkler, or ~13 Qi total.
This is still lower than what you observed, but I am assuming you are running an auto-clicker for reds, which could help explain the larger discrepancy. Assuming 1 red every 150 seconds, you would expect 180 reds, with roughly 6% (~10 cookies) being frenzies lasting 12 seconds, giving 120 seconds x 50 T CPS x 666 gives an additional ~4 Qi per wrinkler (which is probably too low due to the 80% different cookie rule). Similarly, you would get roughly 50 clots of 132 seconds, reducing the wrinkler output by approximately 165 Qa (which is negligible). Even so, that puts you up to about 5.4 Qi per wrinkler, which is pretty close. If you actually got 16 elder frenzies (rather than 10), that would get you to 8 Qi per wrinkler.
tl;dr: The formula doesn't do what you'd expect it to do, and is likely a bug. | I think it is a coding error. The wrinkler cookie sucking equation is:

TqpU | I was hoping to enjoy a cold one using the suggested method and here are a few issues that I came across:
1) The top wants to curl into the can, you have to fish it out or let it clang around inside (think tuna can).
2) While the inside cut is clean and probably won't cut your upper lip (I did not confirm, see #3), the outside cut is jagged and looks like it will snag your lower lip.
3) Clean the can opener first, mine left bean residue all over the newly created opening (I should probably wash it regularly anyway, because it's pretty gross).
4) Even if you succeed past the above issues, the can opener wouldn't fully cut around the top and left it just awkwardly hanging there.

Wayne_Kenoff | A friend of a friend of a friend just broke up with his girlfriend. He is overly shy and very broken hearted and depressed. His buddies invite him to a party and convince him to go when he declined.
At the party our hero is being fed shots upon shots upon shots and is loosening up. His buddies find the kinkiest girl at the party and set them up.
The two start show and surely works up to making out, and eventually he is drunk enough to go home with her.
Back at her place they start tearing eachothers clothes off when she stops and goes to the closet. She comes back with anal beads and tells our hero she wants him to use them on her.
Our hero isn't all that experienced with that sort of thing but agrees. He puts them in and she instructs him. She is going wild and says "okay take them out now." Not knowing what to do, he puts one hand on her butt and yanks them out like he was trying to start a lawnmower.
Almost instantly the girl passes out in pain and he is standing there, naked, anal beads in hand, I'm a room covered with pieces of shit. He panics, grabs all his clothes and goes back to the party. Later he goes back to the girls house to check on her/appologize, and she is in the same face down position, moaning in pain.

PaulSach | I'm going to have to disagree, because I feel like you're making this judgement based on the beginning of this season. Historically, Lundqvist is not good in the month of October (or first month of the season). He's actually played pretty well in his last 3 starts, posting a shutout against an offensively strong Washington team (if you look at their roster). Plus, he was fighting a nagging injury that he suffered in game two of this season against the kings.
tl;dr making excuses, but at the same time, I'm completely confident that he will return to Hank form soon. | I'm going to have to disagree, because I feel like you're making this judgement based on the beginning of this season.

jchr11 | I don't often go on this subreddit and I don't even know if anyone is still commenting on this thread, but for me it is Ovechkin.
I went through the whole thread and no one even mentioned him, except to compare franzen's back checking to his. Maybe because I dont go on here often it's commonly accepted he's overrated, but I doubt that and I for see downvotes.
He's the most overrated to me because although he is an elite player and very, very exciting with probably the best shot in league I find that he is fairly one-dimensional, which is fine seeing as his job is to score, but I find he scores almost exclusively on the powerplay and/or against the tough (sarcasm) metropolitan division (one team with a winning record). I just can't understand why the leagues best player (last years hart winner) is really the leagues best player when he can only score at an advantage (5v4) or against the worst teams in the league. Shouldn't the best player be someone who does it in ever situation consistently?

He's the most overrated to me because although he is an elite player and very, very exciting with probably the best shot in league I find that he is fairly one-dimensional, which is fine seeing as his job is to score, but I find he scores almost exclusively on the powerplay and/or against the tough (sarcasm) metropolitan division (one team with a winning record). I just can't understand why the leagues best player (last years hart winner) is really the leagues best player when he can only score at an advantage (5v4) or against the worst teams in the league. Shouldn't the best player be someone who does it in ever situation consistently?

flowm3ga | Before that there was the whining about how 1.4 was the bee's knees. Before that there was the whining about how 1.3 was the ultimate CS experience. But, the thing is, the only real changes made were to balance the game and make it less broken. Why anyone would want the game to remain broken is beyond me.
The biggest hissy fit I kept hearing among friends and on boards was that they got rid of bunny hopping. Well, boo hoo, you can't traipse across the map like a jackass in a game that tries desperately to be realistic.
TL;DR - I fully understand why devs like Phil Fish want nothing to do with the gaming community at large.

spaceemotion | That will not be possible. Minecraft itself will set the IDs of certain blocks. This change has been made in preparation for the Plugin API - if a mod adds a new block called "mymod:marble" Minecraft will try to assert an ID, lets say 20! When you don't have that mod, but maybe another one, the ID 20 will have a completely different block stored than the one you want to get.
TL;DR: Minecraft handles IDs internally, which can mean that Stone might not be ID 1 in some worlds (theoretically). | That will not be possible. Minecraft itself will set the IDs of certain blocks.

HG_Johnny | That extra MoC/OA actually sounds very doalbe and something I had never thought of.
Concerning your rotation and the lack of *ensuring* the MH is active prior to casting BF. Lets assume your MH attack speed is listed as 3.0 and you OH attack speed is listed as 2.5 as seen on d3up. Lets also assume that your MH weapons damage is 100K. These are all arbitrary numbers but they make the math easier ;)
So, if you follow the bell before BF method:
- (100000 * 3.0 * .75 * 12 * 1.48) * [(3.0 * .3) + 1] = 7,592,400
If you skip that and wind up casting BF while the OH is active then you will end up with:
-(100000 * 3.0 * .75 * 12 * 1.48) * [(2.5 * .3) + 1] = 6,993,000
thats about an 8% difference. Not huge but still not optimal. Again, thats over the course of the first 3 sec.
So your method would keep that extra 48% buff going for the duration. So after BF the damage per bell is:
- (100000 * 3.0 * .75 * 12 * 1.48) = 3996000
as opposed to the "normal" after blind value of:
- (100000 * 3.0 * .75 * 12 * 1.24) = 3348000
so then your method increases the after BF/ inital MoC damage by ~16% as you have indicated.
So is it better to have an 8% increase for 3 sec or an 16% increase for 2 sec? In a perfect world you would want both. In that case we could change the steps to include the MoC refresh.
For simplicitys sake:
- (Bell then BF) 3 * 7,592,400 = 22,777,200
- (BF then Bell) 3 * 6,993,000 = 20,979,000
- (MoC not refreshed) = 2 * 3348000 = 6,696,000
- (Moc refreshed) = 2 * 3996000 = 7,992,000
So, ideally doing both the Bell before BF and MoC refresh = 30,769,200 per Nirvana cycle.
Doing the BF before Bell and not refreshing MoC = 27,675,000 per Nirvana cycle. Thats about an ~ difference of 12.54.
That checks with out individual differences of 16% and 8% as (.16 * .08) = .0128 or 12.8%
TL:DR: Do **both** the Bell before BF and MoC refresh to maximize DPS :) | That extra MoC/OA actually sounds very doalbe and something I had never thought of.

one-pump-chump | This is an extremely weird sentiment to be expressed by Grohl.
He talks about Nirvana from its genesis but the fact is that he was Nirvana's third (3rd) drummer. While the story about kids sucking and then getting good is (sorta) true, it's only true about Kurt and Kris. Meanwhile, Dave was by far the most musically (technically) talented member of the band and an established drummer when he joined. So, while Kurt knew maybe three(3) chords and screamed a lot, Dave was a fan of Rush. Think about that: Kris Novoselic (a veritable music illiterate) was the bassist for Nirvana; effing Geddy Lee is the bassist for Rush.
**tl;dr** - Grohl is overselling hard work and underselling technique; this is crazy b/c IRL Grohl stands out **in Nirvana** for his technical ability. | This is an extremely weird sentiment to be expressed by Grohl.

rawrasawrus | 21 year old male here. Had same problem, concepts taught in high school were generally easy to understand. Got away with last minute projects (and got good grades most of the time). The logic is basically to maximize work efficiency - better to put in 10% of the effort and get 90% of the grade than put in the other 90% of the effort for an extra 5-10% of the grade. I used this method to coast through high school and learned almost nothing from it. Caused me to suffer through a year and a half of college before realizing I was not prepared at all for it.
I would say half of the issue is that high schools are terrible at teaching kids what they *need* to learn, and the other half is he probably wants to spend the least amount of time possible on school work. It's almost bad that your son is intelligent enough to realize he doesn't need to work hard, because it will most likely screw him in college (happened to me at least).
To make matters worse, parental discipline doesn't really change his attitude in the long term. My dad would be *furious* anytime I got anything less than an A, yet here I am. It's something he's got to learn on his own, and what has helped me to realize this is getting a job, and then seeing how hard it is to save money. After about a year and a half making around minimum wage (I was paid commission), I realized how much it sucked to be eligible for jobs with minimal pay. A college degree looks a lot more appealing now.
I may be going a bit further than necessary, but I just found this particular story to be a familiar experience. At the very least, make sure he's doing something productive if he continues to have minimal interest in school.

Holla-back-at-cha | I found this out the hard way.
I was camping with family at this one place. There were plenty of other people there, and they had a few public bathrooms nearby. So one early morning I wake up having to shit really bad. I only made it worse by spending 15 minutes looking for one of my flip flops (I already had one). By the time I get going, I'm running to the bathroom because I really had to shit. I get in a stall, drop my pants, and take a shit. Then, a girl walks in. She gets into the stall next to me and starts peeing. It was loud as hell so I knew it was a fast stream. After realizing my mistake of going into the girls restroom, I covered up my ridiculously hairy legs with my pants to make sure no one realizes I'm a guy. So there I am, a guy taking a shit in a women's restroom while 10+ girls come in to pee. I knew the line of girls wouldn't end so I just walked out. I'm not sure if anyone saw me; I just stood up and walked out without looking back. It was pretty embarrassing.

I was camping with family at this one place. There were plenty of other people there, and they had a few public bathrooms nearby. So one early morning I wake up having to shit really bad. I only made it worse by spending 15 minutes looking for one of my flip flops (I already had one). By the time I get going, I'm running to the bathroom because I really had to shit. I get in a stall, drop my pants, and take a shit. Then, a girl walks in. She gets into the stall next to me and starts peeing. It was loud as hell so I knew it was a fast stream. After realizing my mistake of going into the girls restroom, I covered up my ridiculously hairy legs with my pants to make sure no one realizes I'm a guy. So there I am, a guy taking a shit in a women's restroom while 10+ girls come in to pee. I knew the line of girls wouldn't end so I just walked out. I'm not sure if anyone saw me; I just stood up and walked out without looking back. It was pretty embarrassing. | Went into the women's restroom early in the morning, had to hear several women pee while I took a shit. |
thraxicle | I used to think that I could progressively adapt my body by jumping from increasing heights. First I jumped from the first step, then the second... etc The goal being probably jumping off the empire state building. I think I got as high as half a story. I can't recall why I stopped... probably a lack of ambition, or pain.

ohsuchris | So, I have two girls (near teenage) and a teenage boy. For me, when they were babies, I was surprised about how inherently different they (or at least mine) are. Example: My oldest and youngest daughters (now 15 and 10) would gently pick things up, gently look at them in her hands and softly set them back down again. My middle son (now 13) would pick something up, look at it and bash the fuck out of it against the nearest hard object. Then he would move on to bashing the next thing.

ductyl | This was me... I basically went from straight A's my freshman year to doing the bare minimum to graduate high school...
I did better in college, largely because they were less ridiculous with the homework assignments (that is, they were more meaningful assignments, not just "do some exercises every night"), but also because my GPA in college actually mattered for something (still not a lot, but there was scholarship money on the line).
tl;dr; I can offer no advice, except that my parents pestered me about homework, I didn't like it much but still sort of tried a little more, and then eventually I turned out to be a hardworking (when I need to be) contributing member of society. Good luck! | This was me... I basically went from straight A's my freshman year to doing the bare minimum to graduate high school...

GTFOScience | I'm 29. My Dad rebooted and had more kids when I was 20. I'm constantly amazed at how little their personalities and disposition are effected by their upbringing. I think that many things: manners, ethics, morality can be effected by their parenting but at the end of the day one is an asshole and the other is mega-beta. We all have similar opinions about right and wrong, for instance, but our foundations - the corner stones of our being could not be more different.

That happened to me and a friend recently. My friend wasn't looking and about to walk on the street and get run over so I stopped him. Then the guy in the car slowed down and waved us over, my friend started walking again, but I hesitated. Suddenly, that motherfucker accelerates and almost runs over my friend for real. Then he throws his hands up in some kind of "I'm sorry" gesture while grinning like the stupid motherfucker he is. Made me so angry.

ProffieThrowaway | If there is something that I wish to teach my children it is this:
If you are sick or think you are dying, I want to know. You won't disappoint me, you won't upset me, and it is something I want us to face together.
As a kid (about 10) I started having chest pain. I told no one. It turns out that it was a weird combination of minor asthma (which has recently flared and I was diagnosed and I'm like OMG THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH) combined with my rib cage growing. But I didn't know that.
I actually gave myself panic attacks lying in bed thinking I was going to die. I had heard stories about my uncle who died when he was ten of a missing heart valve. He wasn't allowed to walk up stairs or go anywhere alone, his parents carried him. I knew that if I had heart disease and my mom did that to me that the kids that bullied me would most likely kill me the first time that a teacher left the room.
So I told no one.
We went to Church then and I prayed so damned hard for another year. And when that year ended I freaked the heck out and thought that god had granted me a year and I was gonna die. I even wrote a letter to my mom apologizing.
Now yes, I was rather well read for my age and.... not entirely normal... but this hiding illness thing? It's one thing I don't want my kid to do. I put myself through all sorts of bullshit stress *and* I could have been diagnosed and put on freaking inhalers and other asthma meds way sooner. I could have run faster (something I could never ever do without getting winded no matter how much I trained, took ballet, or did karate). My life would have been so much damned easier. Even now I did NOT want to tell my mom that I had been diagnosed with asthmatic bronchitis (primary symptom: not being able to walk anywhere without being winded, whereas days before I was running miles on the elliptical). As usual, she is freaking the heck out and adding to my stress of already being sick. Ugh.
tl;dr how does one foster a relationship with their child in such a way the child feels comfortable telling them when they are scared something is really wrong with them medically? | If there is something that I wish to teach my children it is this:

sig863 | Female with one sibling; a sister, five years younger than me.
We were both tomboyish and our dad was kind of the nerdy type who never minded if we wanted to do he occasional girly stuff. It wasn't so bad for him... **UNTIL**
I moved out for college when I was 18. That same year, my sister hit full-blown puberty and my mother started going through menopause.
Even as a girl, I look back on that time and pity my dad and thank gob I got out just in time.

squamesh | Not exactly. My brother did ballet until he was thirteen. He was very, very good, getting the lead role in the nutcracker twice in a row. Our parents couldn't have been more supportive. Then came eight grade and suddenly he's done because all he's friends are calling him gay. The final straw was when he missed school for a performance and his douchey math teacher complained that he got to miss school for his, "fairy fun time."
He's 23 now and still doesn't want to talk about his ballet years.

Freduude | as a newly turned 20 yr old guy here are some tips from someone who was/is one of those lazy guys: i don't know how old your son is now but; finding ways to motivate him is key
cooking/food: if you want him to help with cooking or something (i kinda like cooking and will help my dad sometimes (more often now than before)) make it fun for him, maybe have him maybe start with just cutting veggies but make sure to show him how (the whole finger tuck thing with the knife), and give him more and more "fun"/challenging tasks. try to get it as often as possible but just know sometimes he'll just refuse, but something as simple as just "can you peel the potatoes" and then seeing you/husband do some of the cooking might motivate him.
keeping his room clean/chores: make a check list of things that need to be done by (lets say) every friday before midnight (relatively clean room, maybe vacuum the house, clean the toilets, etc.) and give him a base allowance every week, for everything on that check list that isn't done you retract a set amount of money from the allowance (be it each one has the same value or some more than others) (you should also check the different "cleaned" things the day he does them to make sure he actually did it and just didn't say "yeah yeah i did that", and give it thumbs up/down and if on the verge of down make sure to say "clean more here next time" (or something along those lines)). this should motivate him to actually do something, and while it might not be the most active thing it gets him going and will add to the psychological effect of "doing good things around the house= good for me", though be nice about it and while you should help with tips/advice don't be bitchy if he did something wrong or didn't do it that week, just remove the allowance and say why.
Schoolwork: ummmm this is a tough one seeing as you getting involved in his school work (such as being in contact with his teachers.....thats bad=too attached and although he won't say it, is really embarrassing for him) can be quite annoying for him and while the method of getting x money for y grade might work its not really that good i think (especially with siblings, differences in academic skills would only cause problems there).
One thing i could think of would just be that at the end of every week he has to give you something like 5 facts (not just something simple like bats are mammals) from every subject/class he has and is in regard to what they are currently learning (maybe just talked over casually during dinner or something, shouldn't be a like a lecture/quiz, that's boring and annoying. also the fact amount can change depending on how detailed/engaged in the conversation he is), or have him devote at least 30min-1hr everyday to homework (basically saying you aren't allowed to use your phone/computer during this time), pretty much just extending his school day by that extra amount.
Those ideas are basically just to make him do work, then to actually motivate him make sure to congratulate him on doing well (make sure if he has tests to ask how it went). lets say (just for simplicity sake) he is a B student, if he gets a B tell him good job and a small hint of try to do better next time (don't always say it, will lose meaning), if its an A or high B just say good job, maybe subconsciously make dessert that day for dinner/something good, not like ohhh sweetie you did so well so here's a cake (embarrassing). and if he gets a C or below, just say ohh well what went wrong and have him analyze himself. only scold him if he really didn't put any effort AT ALL into studying and totally flunked it (like worse than an F).
IMPORTANT: last point on the topic of school: he will do well at topics he enjoys more, make sure to realize that, he will be more engaged in certain topics and not so much on others, try to find out which ones he really likes and push him towards wanting more of that, will help for career choosing (and no he doesn't have to be a super doctor/CEO, let him find his own path), as for the topics he doesn't enjoy just make sure he doesn't ignore them, and if you can try to make him enjoy them a bit more (talking about different topics in that could work, like history, give him some fun facts) but don't force it.
i think thats about it, let me know if this was too confusing/you need more advice :), and good luck, we can be a handful but know that below our annoyed attitude and emotion repression as long as you care for us and don't be the biggest bitch out there we will always love you :3

Those ideas are basically just to make him do work, then to actually motivate him make sure to congratulate him on doing well (make sure if he has tests to ask how it went). lets say (just for simplicity sake) he is a B student, if he gets a B tell him good job and a small hint of try to do better next time (don't always say it, will lose meaning), if its an A or high B just say good job, maybe subconsciously make dessert that day for dinner/something good, not like ohhh sweetie you did so well so here's a cake (embarrassing). and if he gets a C or below, just say ohh well what went wrong and have him analyze himself. only scold him if he really didn't put any effort AT ALL into studying and totally flunked it (like worse than an F).
IMPORTANT: last point on the topic of school: he will do well at topics he enjoys more, make sure to realize that, he will be more engaged in certain topics and not so much on others, try to find out which ones he really likes and push him towards wanting more of that, will help for career choosing (and no he doesn't have to be a super doctor/CEO, let him find his own path), as for the topics he doesn't enjoy just make sure he doesn't ignore them, and if you can try to make him enjoy them a bit more (talking about different topics in that could work, like history, give him some fun facts) but don't force it.
i think thats about it, let me know if this was too confusing/you need more advice :), and good luck, we can be a handful but know that below our annoyed attitude and emotion repression as long as you care for us and don't be the biggest bitch out there we will always love you :3 | guys are lazy, find ways to motivate them and make them want to do things not just telling them do this, do that. |

the_iron_cock | Reminds me of when I was playing with my neighbors as a kid! We were playing baseball as a kid. I was pitcher and the younger one was batting and the oldest was catcher. Anyways, he hits my (surprisingly well thrown, I was no pitcher) ball and I chase after it. The ball soars into the outfield and since we only have 3 of us, its my job to chase it down. So I run after it and heave the ball as hard as possible towards home plate. Matt, the older brother gets it and tackles the younger brother as he slides into home plate.
Commence a minute of arguing whether or not he was safe or tagged out before they realize that the younger brother broke his arm.... Commence 30 minutes of crying and a trip to the hospital. Usually playing with them resulted in crying though so this wasn't new

Koomin | “It’s really a story of what happened to neutral clothing,” says Paoletti, who has explored the meaning of children’s clothing for 30 years. For centuries, she says, children wore dainty white dresses up to age 6. “What was once a matter of practicality—you dress your baby in white dresses and diapers; white cotton can be bleached—became a matter of ‘Oh my God, if I dress my baby in the wrong thing, they’ll grow up perverted,’ ” Paoletti says.
The march toward gender-specific clothes was neither linear nor rapid. Pink and blue arrived, along with other pastels, as colors for babies in the mid-19th century, yet the two colors were not promoted as gender signifiers until just before World War I—and even then, it took time for popular culture to sort things out.
In 1927, Time magazine printed a chart showing sex-appropriate colors for girls and boys according to leading U.S. stores. In Boston, Filene’s told parents to dress boys in pink. So did Best & Co. in New York City, Halle’s in Cleveland and Marshall Field in Chicago.
Today’s color dictate wasn’t established until the 1940s, as a result of Americans’ preferences as interpreted by manufacturers and retailers. “It could have gone the other way,” Paoletti says.

cran_baisins | Yes, IINM your eyes are just unable to "adjust" fast enough. But you have to realize that in this case 'adjust’= muscles in the iris(?) contracting to narrow your pupil and let less light in. During the day those muscles in your eye are constantly contracting and relaxing while they 'adjust' to different lighting scenarios that you happen to be in at any given moment. That's why your eyes can see in low light and bright light (with reasonable loss in clarity) whereas a camera that works in one scenario is virtually useless in the other. Unless of course we manually adjust the settings that control the amount of light coming into the lens (aperture, ISO, etc.)

Public transport in Warsaw is big network, on every bus stop you got info what time its on, starting and destination stop times and what streets its going thru. Use trams too. Buy tickets in small one person Kiosks on the street everywhere. If you don't and you got lucky, you gonna meet 3 person official ticket controler squad which hires only sadist and other lowest kind of people like poeple who steals candy from children.
In villages like Ustanow there's propably only one bus stop on the main road going in and out of the village, now usually operated by private small 10+ person buses(pay at driver). Yep -> [busstop](
Things to do? Teenagers? Usually all youth run away to big cities because there's no live after 6pm in villages and no work. Lot of them live down there but commute to work/university in city. Lot of them don't mind to give you a lift to the city so wave your hand. Just be openminded because when you last expect can meet the craziest folks, people are openhearthed and friendly. If you're not a dick or some sweetfarting baron, you'll find greatest people on planet. Seriously it can even save your ass. Story time... eeee no its beginning to be wall of text already. Except never ever expect being treated like human being from goverment workers who 'serve' you from a window or desk i.e. train tickets on train stations are sold by old witches living still in comunism, they don't speak word of english and gonna call security on you if you look wrong or dont speak polish. In those situations just find someone younger around, we all speak basic english, even them folks across the old witch from the ice-cream booth.
TL;DR [warsaw bus network]( - 103, 518 etc. are bus line numbers and dots are busstops. with google maps and specific adress you'll be fine.

thickeningdick | Okay, I'm gonna' chuck some balls in the air see what happens.
being a citizen of a post colonial antipodean paradise (that is not Australia) the mechanic of distant devotion is well known to me.
Okay. Royal family. No, not [Lordes]( backing band.
What are they comprised of?
Men and women of the most successfully violent family in the surrounding area.
As a reaction to the removal of the spectre of death at another violent persons! (a foreigners!!) blade. the royal becomes revered. Vassal Safety makes the royals godlike.
The common folk subjugate their own hatred of oppression as to overthrow it meant that the violent guy down the ,road, hill or lake or over the sea etc. will come for them and rape them, steal all the family has or will just kill them. A system of demi tyrants sprang up all over England each extracting money and sex at will as was their right. given by God. Say since 1066(after the shock troops of Frances decisive thrust into the English Heartland) how many people fell victim to this?
Have no idea how to approach this math....
In the wars... of Roses....Crimean.....Napoleonic....WW1 etc etc ...how many have been grist for the mill....The Royal family live off the blood of this...they have legitimised the parliament process in the eyes of the public.....countless millions have died......Nazis and the Royal family differ in in support not mechanics....the baubles, the progressions of science and arts would not have died(bad word I know) under Nazi regime, they would have re-written history and remoulded the desires of the people and we'd have new fairy stories to tell. "If you don't go to sleep liebling, Iron Arthur will spin you on his Torture Table" The life of the ones at the bottom of society would more or less be similar, who knows Von Braun might have got us to the moon in '60.
My belief is that due to the nature of humans' past we glorify the violent and the powerful. As society, resource gathering and distribution, education and morals have all evolved past "Might is Right", Might has not. It still broadly bluntly and disappointingly works. To differentiate between Nazis and Royals is to be in adolescently be in thrall to an elite you can't bear to be seen as a monster. The face cares little which boot stands on it.
TL:DR
Royals and Nazis are opp sides of same coin. Both should be leant from as antediluvian systems of population control. We can do better than both. | Okay, I'm gonna' chuck some balls in the air see what happens.

deadlyernest | Kessel was in the box for roughing. Coincidental with Burrows. They were cheaping each other out, no idea who started it, but clearly Burrows did something that pissed off Kessel, because suddenly he had his gloves half off, and was likely the one who challenged Burrows to fight. Burrows drops his gloves, grabs Kessel and does a judo-esque throw that leaves them both on the ice. The linesmen jump on them. He's probably pretty choked at that point.
Clarkson then takes some fool roughing penalty a couple plays later while busily being ineffective and mostly annoying for 6.5M a year or whatever it is. He sits down beside a steaming Kessel and says something dumb...and roll cameras. Nice job by CBC's producer, or whomever's choosing the feed.

Mr_That_Guy | [GPU's can access main system memory through DMA]( so they bypass the CPU and its caches when requesting data. I'm no expert but after looking into this, it turns out that, [PCIe multicasting was to be implemented in the PCIe spec as of 2009]( but it appears dependent on whether or not the chipset/PCIe controller and/or PCIe switch support DMA multicasting.
This PCIe SIG paper specifically includes GPU's as an example for uses of PCIe multicasting, but I cannot find any information regarding whether or not this is actually in use for current GPU's, chipsets, and PCIe swtiches in regards to SLI and Crossfire.
The best I have found is this article from [Anandtech about the PEX 8747 PCIe switch]( Additionally, [PLX Technologys]( states their PEX 8747 chip DOES support multicasting as part of the PCIe requirements. Anandtechs' gaming benchmarks later in the article suggest there is minimal to no performance overhead from using a PCIe switch, which indicates that either, a) these games dont require significant transfers over PCIe, or b) multicasting is being used in the multi GPU setups.
Even after all that I still cant find any specific information about whether multi GPU setups use PCIe multicasting, but it would seem implied that this is the case.
**TL;DR: According to my googling, it would appear that SLI and Crossfire setups use PCIe multicasting to keep RAM <-> GPU transfers to a minimum. This also implies that multi-GPU setups should only be bottlenecked by the bandwidth available between the CPU and the PCIe controller, like on AM3/AM3+ platforms where the CPU<-> PCIe controller bandwidth is ~10.2 GB/s, which is less than a single PCIe 3.0 slot.** | [GPU's can access main system memory through DMA]( so they bypass the CPU and its caches when requesting data.

needsmorerage | No offense to you OP, but... in a way this is kind of a stupid question. Think about it this way: Unless what you're saying is "Should you buy/stream BEFORE ever watching a show?" (To which, the obvious answer is stream, because who buys something they haven't seen yet?)

Even suggesting classics of the medium like "Akira, Evangelion, Bebop, etc. is pointless. If the viewer doesn't like the shows, why the hell would they buy them? Just to make claims like "I own it 'cause it's essential, but I actually hate the show."?

SuperEmoKid | There is no such thing as the "best" blade. There is something called the "best blade for you". Some would argue that Feathers are the best; plenty of people on this sub don't like Feathers. Personally. I hate Astras with the burning fire of a thousand suns, because they do nothing but give me terrible razor burn while leaving stubble.
**TL; DR** Get a blade sampler, Maggard's has a great selection. Definitely pick up some Astras as well as some other brands so you can find the best blade for YOU.
**Edit**: just saw that you are looking into a sampler. Really nerd to not use reddit on my phone anymore, it keeps eating everyone else's comments. | There is no such thing as the "best" blade.

zecg | No sense discussing list-style gaem journalism, but here goes: Fallout 3 over New Vegas is bullshit; Arkham Asylum deserves mention; SO MANY indie underdogs completely absent -- The Swapper is better than 75% of that list; Bioshock: Infinite is schlock gameplay with a shitty plot and deserves no spots anywhere; the first Dead Space is a masterpiece; Rayman: Origins OR Rayman: Legends (if not both) need to be in there; I'd forgive them for missing Deus Ex: HR, but Dishonored?

LandfrTeeth | I think it could, but Butler has to be more flexible on his branding and more aggressive with promotions. Brooklyn Flea Philly failed, first and foremost, because he failed to take into account the fact that Philadelphians are sensitive about being the "sixth borough" and resent a Brooklyn event showing up without renaming itself/making any effort to adapt to the local market. When you add that with the fact that there was barely any promotion/signage for the event, it's no wonder it shut down.
TL;DR: It can survive, but it needs to be approached intelligently and not assume that the Brooklyn brand will carry it to success. | I think it could, but Butler has to be more flexible on his branding and more aggressive with promotions.

jaypee1 | 1.yr 9 in highschool (uk, i was 13). a much bigger somalian guy was being racist about me and he kept trying to throw a ball we were playing with as far as he could. so when he went for the ball i kicked him as hard as i could, he got angry and we were both filled with rage. he grabbed me and was trying to floor me, i twisted my body round and swung my fists at his cheek forcing his cheap glasses to fall off. then he stepped on them and broke them
2.yr 9 as well, playing football (or soccer). i managed to tackle a different smaller somalian kid, he got angry and tried to punch me. we didnt finish the fight

stickytoe | 1. Middleschool: A kid threw my basketball and took the hoop I was using so I put him in a chokehold. - 1 day in school suspension for me, nothing for him.
2. Middleschool: A kid took the PE mat me and my friend were using, so I went over to him and ripped it out from under him and pushed him over. He headlocked me and we proceeded to punch each other, me in his stomach, him in my face. - He was suspended for 5 days, me 3
3. Highschool: A kid kept hitting me with a stick during PE. I grabbed him, punched him in stomach, then threw him on ground (he easily had 30 pounds on me) and kicked him in the side. - He was suspended for 3 days, I was kicked out of PE for 2 days.
4. Highschool: My friend kicked me during a game during lunch. I immediately head locked him. He proceeded to struggle and punch me in the back of the head until my other friends broke it up. - No punishment for either of us.
TL;DR - I got in about 4 fights throughout my life so far. I'd say i won 3 (1,3,4) and lost 1 (2). |

Urbannn | Do motherboards actually make a difference in Gaming at all? I'd assume that they're just for putting graphics cards, RAM, CPU etc. on it. But I found an MSI motherboard for $90. Then I found another one for $150. What's the difference?

evange | Yup, for a while I did laser. Cost $50 per session for upper lip and you need 8-12 sessions.
Not only that, but it only works on dark hairs. Of which I don't have that many, my facial hair is mostly light brown to blond. The technician told me straight up that if I wanted to get all the hair I'd still need to get electrolysis afterwards. So I quit laser when I realized it was going to spend $400-600 to *semi*-permanently remove about 10 hairs.
Now I'm doing electrolysis. It costs $2/minute, which brings each session to around $50 or $60. I do it every two weeks, and can expect to have to keep that up for the next 1-2 years (bringing the eventual cost for mustache removal to $1300 to $3120).
For those unaware of how electrolysis works, the esthetician inserts a small needle into the hair follicle and then electrocutes it. I take an extra stength advil before my appointment and the esthetician also applies a numbing cream when I get there, yet it still hurts so badly that I end up crying.

euThohl3 | Top two answers are wrong.
During launch, engineers want to avoid air resistance. The way you do this is have the rocket start out going up, then as you get above the atmosphere, pitch over and do most of the acceleration once it's out of the atmosphere completely. In fact, to achieve a stable orbit, it's mathematically required that it be above the atmosphere when the engine shuts down.
During re-entry, air resistance is kind of the point. Theoretically you could stop the rocket at orbital altitude and fall straight down, without needing much of a heat shield, but that would require a ton of delta-v, so it's not done. Re-entry is just about making sure the angle is right so the deceleration is not too intense.
TL;DR: at the same altitudes, the rocket is going much faster at re-entry than at launch. | Top two answers are wrong.

genuinelyanf | Great question! [Warning: Longish story follows]
One time I was eating M&M's out of my hand. I looked down and realised that I had only blue ones and orange ones left. Out of curiosity I put my hands together and started to shake them around. Then, while still shaking my hands, I looked inside and I saw a new colour.
It wasn't blue and orange mixed together, because when you mix them together you get brown, but it was blue and orange in the same place at the same time.
So I called it "blorange", it is a colour I invented.
[Let me pause the story for a second and provide some filler information, after this eventful day of colour inventing I started to recount the tale exactly as recorded above. Well, suffice it to say, the story was quickly well know among my friends and church mates and also the skill with which I would tell the story with the exact same words every time. Additionally, following the point I met my wife]
Before my wife and I got married, for Christmas one year, she presented me with "blorange" thongs. I thanked her and was very happy but then tentatively asked "you know I am going to wear these right?" feeling worried that they were in her mind a joke gift, and that she would be embarrassed in public with me and the odd thongs. She replied with a giant smile "Of course! That is what they are for!" and it was at that moment that I knew she was a keeper.
[Actually I knew she was a keeper beforehand but that is another story]
So I wore those "blorange" thongs for 3 years at every opportune moment, and was well recognised for it as well until they developed holes in the bottom. Regretfully, I had to retire them and so with a sigh of defeat I place them into the back of the shoe draw for the last time. When I saw my wife next I told her of the fate of the "blorange" thongs and she suddenly pulled out the next pair! See, she had just bought a pair of blue thongs and a pair of orange ones and then stored the opposites all those years. So now I am working my way through those and that my friends is the story of my "blorange" thongs.
TL/DR: Go read the whole thing as a punishment. | Great question! [Warning: Longish story follows]
One time I was eating M&M's out of my hand. I looked down and realised that I had only blue ones and orange ones left. Out of curiosity I put my hands together and started to shake them around. Then, while still shaking my hands, I looked inside and I saw a new colour.
It wasn't blue and orange mixed together, because when you mix them together you get brown, but it was blue and orange in the same place at the same time.
So I called it "blorange", it is a colour I invented.
[Let me pause the story for a second and provide some filler information, after this eventful day of colour inventing I started to recount the tale exactly as recorded above. Well, suffice it to say, the story was quickly well know among my friends and church mates and also the skill with which I would tell the story with the exact same words every time.

GigaPotato | He has an awesome diversity of attacking moves...
Earthquake, wood hammer, stone edge, shadow claw, dragon claw, poison jab, payback, aerial ace, hammer arm, gyro ball, seed bomb, power up punch, giga impact, needle arm, body slam, and that's just listing the most powerful ones. Chesnaught has awesome coverage and power. Plus he has access to moves like pain split, leech seed, belly drum, spiky shield, spikes, synthesis, and quick guard. It can sweep, or jack up its defense while dealing damage with spiky shield and leech seed while behind a substitute and stall out almost everything.

OP (or rather [the real OP]( that /u/Aiken_Drumn is stealing this from) should not have taken these photos.
Several people have said this already, and been downvoted to oblivion by people arguing that the photos are necessary so that everyone can see Auschwitz, even people who can't physically visit it. This is true, and that's exactly why the museum's website has hundreds of photos, including many photos of the exhibits that visitors aren't allowed to photograph. For example, [here are many photos of the hair](
If you want to see the horrors of Auschwitz without going, you can do that easily via a variety of official sources (including but not limited to the museum's website). You don't have to go in person, and you don't need to look at shitty cameraphone pics taken by some random tourist.
The thing is, those who have actually visited Auschwitz in person will know that *visitors* are asked very clearly not to take photos of some exhibits, for several reasons:
1. First, thousands of flashes a day can degrade some of the exhibits.
2. Second, the museum is staffed in part by survivors and family of survivors, and many survivors and family members visit it. It is a bit disrespectful and can make them feel weird if they see every single person lining up to take a picture of the hair of their dead friends, just like it was a photo opportunity in a zoo or something.
3. The tours at Auschwitz are very carefully managed and planned to create a certain atmosphere and mood. They want people focused on learning about what happened, and trying to process what that actually means, ***not*** focused on trying to get the right lighting, capture a non-blury image of the hair, etc.
**TL;DR** If you haven't been to Auschwitz you can easily see photos of all of the things there, [taken by professionals and sanctioned by the museum]( "Showing the horrors to the world" is not an excuse for tourists to be disrespectful and violate the very clear rules of the museum. | Please actually read this before downvoting:

daveonline123 | Software causing the console to lock up is nothing to worry about in terms of physical damage unless it caused the processor to run in a loop and heat up. There are thermal shutdown circuits built into virtually anything with a chip capable of destroying itself, which would kick in and kill the power in this event long before any damage occurred.
TL;DR Don't worry, it is very very unlikely a software bug can cause hardware damage.
It could potentially cause data corruption, but the console would still physically work, it would just need a factory reset. But again, this isn't all that likely.

eehreum | It's pretty much the exact opposite of what you said. There's plenty of photographic proof that's not too hard to Google, or you could compare the list of cities by land area and then the list of cities by population.
Jakarta is 1/4th the size of Chicago with nearly double the amount of people.
Also standard of living doesn't have much to do with it. You can afford a mansion sized home in many of these countries if you are willing to live outside of the city for the same price you pay to live inside the city.

DarthCookies | I'll take a shot at it. Major spoilers BTW. All the following is my own interpretation and is subject to inaccuracies.
Basically the matrix has a few flaws in it. There are certain conditions that it can't emulate properly and causes it's users (the humans) to reject the reality. (In the second film it states that 99% of humans won't reject the matrix.) The man in the picture is a AI program called the Architect, his job was to program and oversee the matrix and see if he could improve it or not. The Architect with the help of the Oracle devised a solution that would make the matrix work by allowing those who reject the system to be ejected from it. (This next sentence is my reasoning and is not necessarily true.) The machines didn't want to invest in the energy or time or materials to handle the rejects. So they devised a solution that would allow the humans to think that they were in control, while simultaneously clustering them all in one place. Zion was the idea of the machines. Every so many years (decades/centuries) the machines go out and wipe out Zion and restart it, think of deleting a bunch of trash error logs on your computer. In total there were 5 "the ones" before Neo and each played out their role that was expected of them. (this would be matrix v6.**)([/u/snausages21 goes into detail on the job of "The One"](
The premise of the last two films, is that Neo finds out about this big plot and tries to stop the inevitable reset that the machines try to do. So he travels to the machine city to try to do something his predecessors never did and bargained for peace between the machines and humans. He succeeds and it went OK.
Now you may be wondering "WTF was Smith doing???!!" Smith become corrupted when Neo killed him in the first movie. This corruption allowed him to override others to become copies of himself. However Smith wasn't limited to just taking over humans he could also take over programs. This is the bargaining tool Neo used to make the machines consider his offering of peace. Smith if he broke out of the matrix could take over every program in the machine world and the machines weren't to likely to take that lying down.

whittlemedownz | Sometimes I wonder what I would do in your situation.

| allthingsprotoss | t5_2tkqb | cd9i49l | Sometimes I wonder what I would do in your situation. I guess if I wanted generic information for a really popular video game I just might [try google]( If for some reason I decided I don't want to use this simple and reliable solution to solve my information gathering problem I might try posting to a relevant subreddit. I'd probably hit the "Submit a new text post" button which would bring me to [this page]( where I'd probably notice the gigantic notice that reads
"Please search the subreddit and check the sidebar before asking for builds"
Since you apparently did none of these things I conclude that either you're so fantastically lazy that you'd prefer to waste other people's time asking for readily available information rather than follow easy instructions and find it yourself, or you suffer some weird kind of illiteracy that renders you able to post questions but not able to use Google or read either the sidebar or the notices telling you to read the sidebar.

da_ballz | Popular music is by definition the music that appeals to the most amount of people. Most people aren't particularly passionate so whatever music that can hit that lowest common denominator is going to be considered mainstream/popular. If you are passionate about music you are more than likely not going to enjoy whatever is uber popular at the time because you seek a particular niche or a level of quality which is not found in popular music. So I would argue that popular music was and will always be "overrated" (if that what you want to call it) to someone who is "into" music. There are equivalents of our Beibers and Miley Cyrus' throughout musical history.
Tl:dr no shit popular music is shitty, it has been and will always be shitty.

stingharkonnen | Some people shouldn't be an interviewer. I had an interview with a company that went south within 5 minutes of the start of it. The interviewer just got more abusive and I terminated the interview. I said we weren't a good fit and wished them luck finding a match.

You are attractive! In the the teal dress w/ pool cue pic, you look *very* attractive. With that said, I think you have the right idea. No need to drop into the 120's.

Blenderhead36 | In certain age demographics, particularly the coveted 16-24 year old, definitely. But different demographics didn't have the same issues. My father is 54 years old. He's never pirated an album in his life. He used to buy 2-3 CDs every week; now he just cherry-picks iTunes.
I think that's a representative example of the older demographics. Most people who were over 35 when Napster was a thing never used it. They had adult incomes--stealing music wasn't necessary. But iTunes offered a real service--not having to drive to the Best Buy/Walmart/Record Store/Whatever, flip through cases of CDs, wait in line, and then drive home.
Compare to pirating. This required knowing what a torrent site was and how to use it (The file for this album is only 73 kilobytes? Wow, that is *is* compressed! Now, how do I make it play?). It required the primary software, a bittorrent client, along with secondary software like PeerGuardian. Unless they owned an MP3 player (unlikely until around 2010), they also had to know how to use CD burning software. The big issues is putting the time in to do all of this stuff. For teenagers and college students, the choice is often "Pirate" or "Don't listen," and there's enough free time available that this is a worthwhile timesink. For employed professionals making $35000+ a year, having someone like iTunes do all the work for them at $10 an album is a pretty great tradeoff, especially iTunes can burn to CD with 1 click in the same program.
This is a generalization--obviously there were some middle aged music lovers who pirated the living daylights out of Napster, but I feel like most of them switched from buying CDs to buying MP3s.
TL;DR: Pirating is worth it if you have more time than money. For-pay MP3 services have a superior appeal to people with more money than time. | In certain age demographics, particularly the coveted 16-24 year old, definitely.

l4mbch0ps | Really interesting analysis on leaf blowers in Freakanomics. The usage of a leaf blower is a socially unsustainable activity. Unless you gather them up, you're only ever moving the problem somewhere else. The only reason they work is because not everyone is using them. If everyone (including city street clearing) used them, the leaves would just be constantly moved around, and no-ones yard would be clean.
TL:DR Always according to the principle that "if everyone did this, it would still be sustainable". | Really interesting analysis on leaf blowers in Freakanomics.

avengere | For as long as I can remember my mom has had a feud with our neighbor. To this day we are not sure who started it. My mom swears she saw him tossing his golden retrievers shit over the fence into our yard. He claims it was her (Which is weird cause I was the one on Poo duty). This went on for a few years. It all culminated one day, she was working in her garden next to the fence and next thing she knows poo just starts raining over her. She freaks out and starts yelling at him and throwing a pile of compost back. They start fighting and he gets his hose and starts spraying her. Finally they both come to their sense and realize they are having poop fight and go inside. To this day they have never spoken about it. I won in the end tho. Took his youngest daughter's virginity on his water bed.

Last year my school bus got hit while at a stop. The other driver was in a medium sized truck (think ford ranger) and was going over forty MPH at impact. Texting and driving, so no brakes were applied. I was in the last seat listening to a podcast. I was three feet from the hood of his truck. Had I arbitrarily made the decision to sit on the other side, I would be dead, but because I sat in that little seat on the left I survived. People in the front were covered in glass, but I didn't get a single piece on me. I don't mean to start a discussion about what I am about to say, but I had been depressed for a while, and I think that day was God's way of telling me I am meant to keep on living.

Gred-and-Forge | I had to choose between about 8 different basic level art classes one semester in college.
The one I randomly chose led me to meet someone who asked if I wanted to film a small movie with him as a costumer and stunt man.
The small project gained popularity and eventually was bought by a studio.
The movie was shelved, but the studio asked some of us to work with them on another movie.
After this, I was hired on full time at my first salaried job. I was then asked to film another movie as an assistant director.
I was able to quit my retail job, move into a house, pay off all of my debts, and work the job I love.

Wolfatron | Grew up in Utah and as a non-Mormon, I got invited (at the suggestion of church leaders) by my friends to go on the summer camps. I always went because it was mostly just hiking and exploring for a few days in the mountains with my friends. One of the camps, I discovered when I got there, was an actual Boy Scouts camp, the kind where you spend the whole time in classes trying to earn merit badges. I was not in Scouts. Fuck.
When we arrived, we set up our tents and then had to go to an orientation meeting with all the other troops. At the end of orientations, the dude that ran the camp said, "Okay, go sign up for classes; there are limited spots for each class." And with that, some hundred or so kids scattered to sign up for the best classes. This was my first (and last) scout camp so I was left standing there, dumbfounded. The only other kid there was an autistic boy, Stan, from my group and he looked just as bewildered as I was. I figured I was stuck at this stupid camp and didn't care about earning badges so, to make the best of my time, I'd help this kid out. So, I introduced myself and together we signed up for the shitty leftover classes. We got to know each other over the week and when camp was over, he'd call me to watch a movie or play video games up at his house. There, I got to know his older brother, Lars.
Lars and I became best friends, and still are. Seven or eight years later, when we were in college, Lars got a job in an assembly line and got me a job there. His sister was the manager and I developed a huge crush on her. She was married, but her husband was an ass. I can wait this out, I thought. She quit the job though, and I didn't see her again for a long time.
I went on with my life, but since I was really close with her brother, I'd hear about her now and again. She did end up getting divorced, but then she moved to another state. One day about twelve years after I had met her, I got a text from her. She had moved back and started working again at the company where we met. She needed a date for the Christmas party and decided to ask me since I still knew quite a few people there. We hit it off, dated, got married, and started a family. All because I got tricked into going to Scout camp.

3vyn | Not me, but a friend of mine.
My Friend was 6 years old and at her dad's house. The dad had to leave early in the Morning to take her to her Mom's house so he could board a flight for a Business trip. My friend didn't want to leave the house and her dad, so she went to the bathroom before they left, and pretended she had diarrhea, just so she wouldn't have to leave. Eventually, her dad was practically yelling at her to get out as he was going to miss his flight. She eventually gave after about 15 minutes in the bathroom, and left for her mother's house. The Dad rushed for the airport, but missed his flight by about 8 minutes. Apparently he was super pissed, so anyways, he went on and tried to reschedule his flight to L.A. There was a standby ticket for a second plane to L.A, but it would leave within the next 5 minutes, he thought about it,but then said fuck it and declined and just went home frustrated, but rescheduled for a flight the next day. Later that morning, get's a frantic phone call from ex-wife saying if he is alright, tells him to turn on the news. watching 9-11 unfold before him, 5 minutes in, second plane crashes into WTC. He is in Utter shock. A couple hours later he finds out the flight numbers of the airplanes that crashed, American Airlines 11, and UAF 175, The airplane he missed and the airplane he declined to take. After that apparently, he rushed to his ex-wife's house, burst through the door and just ran and hugged his daughter, crying and saying. "I'm so sorry for yelling at you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...." Apparently he still has the original flight ticket. Talk about being lucky.
I told this story to the best of my memory, so don't exactly quote me on every single detail.
TL;DR- 6 year old Daughter makes father late to first flight by Faking stomach problems. Father declines a second flight to L.A. Cries and hugs daughter after he finds out both those flights, the one missed and the one he declined hit the WTC. | Not me, but a friend of mine.

The Dad rushed for the airport, but missed his flight by about 8 minutes. Apparently he was super pissed, so anyways, he went on and tried to reschedule his flight to L.A. There was a standby ticket for a second plane to L.A, but it would leave within the next 5 minutes, he thought about it,but then said fuck it and declined and just went home frustrated, but rescheduled for a flight the next day. Later that morning, get's a frantic phone call from ex-wife saying if he is alright, tells him to turn on the news. watching 9-11 unfold before him, 5 minutes in, second plane crashes into WTC. He is in Utter shock. A couple hours later he finds out the flight numbers of the airplanes that crashed, American Airlines 11, and UAF 175, The airplane he missed and the airplane he declined to take. After that apparently, he rushed to his ex-wife's house, burst through the door and just ran and hugged his daughter, crying and saying. "I'm so sorry for yelling at you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...." Apparently he still has the original flight ticket. Talk about being lucky.
I told this story to the best of my memory, so don't exactly quote me on every single detail.
TL;DR- 6 year old Daughter makes father late to first flight by Faking stomach problems. Father declines a second flight to L.A. Cries and hugs daughter after he finds out both those flights, the one missed and the one he declined hit the WTC.

My Friend was 6 years old and at her dad's house. The dad had to leave early in the Morning to take her to her Mom's house so he could board a flight for a Business trip.

BMurda187 | When I was in senior in high school I took the SATs a second time to see if I'd get a higher score. I went to a boarding military school but took the test in my home town on a weekend. My parents happened to be out of town, so I brought a bunch of friends home from school and got super hammered the night before the test. My score went down 180 points and I never told my parents what actually happened, but it undoubtedly changed the selection of universities I got into. I ended up going to a very inexpensive engineering school in Canada (I'm an American with Quebec residency).
Jumping ahead, I failed my first year of University and several classes thereafter, and spent 7 years in school, but it was so inexpensive that I was able to finish last May, and now I'm working as a Mechanical Engineer, starting at 65k. If I had gotten a better SAT score, I would have gone to a more expensive school but still would have failed out, without the option to continue on for 6 more years because my parents would have cut me me off.
TL;DR I got drunk, bombed my SATs, went to a lesser, inexpensive school that wasn't too expensive to keep failing classes at, and now I'm working as a Mechanical Engineer in the oil fields. | When I was in senior in high school I took the SATs a second time to see if I'd get a higher score.

Seekin | I'd like a bit of discussion on the word "arbitrary". First, I appreciate that you used "arbitrary" rather than "random". However, I'm not sure it's even all that arbitrary.
Certainly, there are minor nuances that may be arbitrary. But I don't think the answer to the question "Is murder moral?" (for example) is arbitrary. Any inherited tendency that arbitrarily answered that question in the affirmative would tend to not be as frequent in future generations, it seems to me. In the same way that any inherited tendency to find nutritious food distasteful would tend to not be as common in future generations.
Of course, there is a lot of complexity we're not getting into here (in-group vs. out-group altruism, for example) but I'm just not sure that a social species has as much "freedom" to set itself on any course as your post suggests.
**TLDR:** I think only the nuances of cultural ethics are arbitrary and that the core tenets of morality may be driven by necessity in order for a social species to survive in the long run. Sincerely interested in any counter points you may have to offer. | I'd like a bit of discussion on the word "arbitrary". First, I appreciate that you used "arbitrary" rather than "random".

Rhiah | Not personally, but I know it should. Using it so flippantly as something negative is not good. When I was a kid I used to use it too.
It makes you think where we have to draw the line, though. I mean, calling someone 'gay' meaning something other than gay isn't THAT awful, but then you wouldn't turn to a friend who's being an idiot and say 'You're so Asian.'
I suppose it comes from the word 'Queer' it was an insult to gay people but also meant 'strange', now it's a politically correct name.. Go figure.

ChaseSays | I agree with this, but I wouldn't mind them activating another NPC somewhere random, and starting another quest line. This one would need to be more difficult through and you would need your at least Relic to do the quest. Maybe even exchanging in your relic weapon or +1 for a new quest weapon etc... however make it much longer and harder. I feel that the current relic quest is a joke.
Ifrit is simple, Garuda is so fast, and titan is rinse and repeat mechanics.
I just want something not really a grind like (kill 30 of these), but rather a series of killing mobs, bosses, completing quest etc.
TL:DR Buff up the relic quest on steroids and make a badass new weapon and quest line to go with it! | I agree with this, but I wouldn't mind them activating another NPC somewhere random, and starting another quest line.

Sigurn | I think I'm pretty lucky I managed to stick with it, to be honest.
I moved into my own house last June, and had been telling myself for months that once I did, I would take up running (wouldn't have parents asking me questions about where the new-found activity increase, I'm self-conscious about EVERYTHING). So all summer, I ran.
I couldn't run for a full minute when I started, but I followed a program and worked my way up to running for 20-25 minutes without a break, over a range of about 3 miles. Once I hit that target, the weather turned as summer ended, it was dark by the time I finished work, and all my running routes were in areas without street lighting, so I gave up.
A friend of mine had recently started hitting the gym about the same time I had taken up running. Once I had given up on running, he asked me to join him, to keep me active. So I started to hit the weights. And damn, if I thought my running ability was at rock bottom, I was about to find just how awful this unhealthy, skinny body could be (age 22 then, 6', ~140lb).
I went to the gym for about a month, felt self-conscious the entire time (could squat about 65lb, bench something similar, couldn't do a pullup/chinup, couldn't keep my back straight for deadlift so just didn't do them, OHP I couldn't even manage the empty bar - my friend was lifting at around triple my weights, though weighed 60-70lb more than me, though I didn't make that connection at the time). During this first month, I really hurt my left arm, and it swole to 2"-3" bigger than my right arm. Had to take a break from lifting for a week, and once I was ready to go back, my friend had hurt his chest somehow while squatting. He was out of the gym for the foreseeable future, and I was too much of a pansy to go alone, so I quit.
A few months pass, we hit New Year, and my old gym friend was around for our New Year party. We're chatting with a third friend, and all say we need to get active (third friend hadn't been active since cross-country running 4-5 years previous). So back to the gym we all go!
Start out on StrongLifts program, progress as far as we can over a few months, then start adding in accessory lifts. Having friends to go with meant I HAD to be there, or I was letting others down, so I couldn't pussy out and skip days. Having folks to compete against really helped too. Slowly increased my lifts, all the time thinking "Damn, weight is getting heavy, won't beat this next week," then hitting a new PR the next week anyway. Except for bench, been stalled on that for a loooooong time now, but finally think I'm starting to push through.
I'm still pretty weak, but I can perhaps call myself average now rather than a weakling. I remember thinking I'd never hit 60kg squat, now I can hit 10 reps for 3 sets at 60kg pretty easily. Every month, being able to look back at my previous weight and say "Wow, I actually have increased... Not bad!" is a great feeling. It doesn't hurt that I've put on ~32lb of bodyweight by trying to fix my diet (lunch is still awful, sandwich and yoghurt, but breakfast and dinner are 1k - 1.5k calories each), so my clothes fit nicer, I can't see my ribs anymore, I can actually see my biceps now and damned if I even knew I had triceps before.
It's been a lot of changes for me over the last year. I'd say if you're anything like me, you might fall off the fitness wagon. Don't worry if you do, just don't give up on everything all at once. If one activity drops off, give something else a try. Once you have it in your head that you want to improve, there's no reason you can't. I KNEW I wanted to get fit, but I kept finding excuses not to go by myself. But it was always on my mind, so I just kept looking for a workout partner in my downtime so I could get back into it.
Now that I'm not laughably weak, and have realised for myself that no one else at the gym gives a fuck what I'm doing, I'm quite happy to go by myself. Skipping days isn't an option now, not because I have a gym partner I'd be letting down, but because if I skip a session I feel incredibly lazy, and by the day after I'm climbing the walls wanting to get rid of my excess energy.

cat5hurricane | Get there early, find a good spot for the parade and wait. Darth's mall is pretty cool, be prepared to spend some money! They have lots of awesome artwork, toys, clothes and plenty of disney/star war crossovers. Last year they brought in a life size rancor to take pictures with. If you're really want to geek out, have mini you frozen in carbonite or turned into a stormtrooper.

dustedrob | Yo tenia una relación bastante buena con mi cartero anterior porque me facilitaba mucho la vida. Como en mi negocio hago muchas ventas y compras por internet, dependo en mayor medida de Mexpost para hacer y recibir envios.
Le pedi que les pusiera un poco de atención a los paquetes que recibiamos para que me llegaran sanos, salvos y a tiempo. Al vivir en unos condominios, lo normal es dejar toda la correspondencia en el buzon principal pero el cartero se tomaba la molestia de venir a entregarmelos directamente a mi puerta. Ademas cuando se trataba de paquetes registrados y habia la necesidad de ir directamente a la oficina de correos, el me avisaba por celular, hacia el tramite y los recogia por mi. Cuando yo tenia que hacer envios, el se ofrecia a ir a dejarlos a la oficina de correos.
Siempre fue una persona muy servicial y atenta. Por sus atenciones, yo le daba de $10 a $30 de propina por cada evento, ademas en el dia del cartero le daba $200 y en navidad otros $200. Despues de un par de años, lo ascendieron a administrador de una de las oficinas de correos.

Siempre fue una persona muy servicial y atenta. Por sus atenciones, yo le daba de $10 a $30 de propina por cada evento, ademas en el dia del cartero le daba $200 y en navidad otros $200. Despues de un par de años, lo ascendieron a administrador de una de las oficinas de correos. | Traten bien a su cartero! |

First of all. I think that I would be just as upset as you if anything similar happened to me. (if you want context, I'm 20, he's 22, we've been together for 2 years, see each other every few weeks.)
In fact, I reacted very similarly when he told me he was considering enlisting in the military, which I knew would (at least for a while) drastically affect how often we saw each other. (He ended up not enlisting. I feel bad for my reaction but I'm selfishly glad that he didn't do it.)
That being said, I'm not entirely sure that it's right. His career ought to be his decision. (Wouldn't you be angry if he tried to talk you out of a major career decision you wanted, just because he didn't want you to do it without him accompanying you?) And, ideally, your relationship (if it's a good one) could last despite the distance and time apart.
The way you say "it's so unfair" makes it sound like you are partly upset out of envy. I'm not trying to criticize or judge, but it is worth thinking about. Being envious, if you are, is your problem, not his. Alternatively, wanting to stop him from having major life experiences: the sentiment is understandable, but actively trying to prevent him from doing it might indicate insecurity / control issues. Again, just something to consider.
When he said the "I would have dumped you" thing, hot damn, that is rude. But he means he wants to stay with you DESPITE you doing this thing which is pretty destructive to the relationship. If he says you guys could still visit and it only lasts a year and he's talking like your relationship will survive this big move, then he's interested in continuing. In other words, if that's the case, he sees you as a more permanent thing than this job, and a larger / more significant part of his life. That's a compliment! And reassuring! Let it comfort you.
tl;dr I think you shouldn't hold him back on this one. | Yikes. Well...

PantsOnHead719 | I have thoughts like this sometimes where I just kind of need someone to listen to me. Happened a lot back in college when I didn't really have anyone to talk to besides my friends (who I didn't want to spill all of my crazy on). I would go home and sit down and just feel unfulfilled because while the people I would talk to for the most part weren't really listening, they were just waiting for their turns to talk.
I wanted to feel like someone acknowledged that they really understood, or even if they didn't that they cared enough to tell me that everything would be okay. My best friend is excellent at this, because he and I are different, but we think the same way. I can tell him pretty much anything and he'll have had that same thought at some point and be able to talk to me about it and make me feel like I'm not a crazy person. More recently though my girlfriend has done that and more, offering me a new perspective (rather than just my own) on how I think about things.
***TL;DR 'I just want attention.' could mean (or it means for me) that he wants to know that you understand how he feels and you care about him and acknowledge his feelings as valid. We all just want to be understood by the people we care about.*** | I have thoughts like this sometimes where I just kind of need someone to listen to me.

IAmADuckSizeHorseAMA | We were finally getting healthy. Aldon back. Manningham back. Wright ready to be activated as soon as we like. Even Crabtree is on pace to return soon. Our rookies, Tank Carradine and Quinton Dial are active as well now. All right, finally! Kaepernick gets some help in the passing game, which will help Boldin get open and clear some lanes for Gore!
LOL JUST KIDDING. Davis goes down. Iupatie goes down. Reid goes down. Our backup fucking tight end Celek goes down.
On top of the fact that we are so paper thin at WR, Kyle Williams, the guy I was rooting for so hard to redeem himself and make people forget about that fumble ^^Hold ^^me was so bad, he couldn't make himself valuable enough to hold a roster spot even though he was our starting KR/PR like two weeks ago.
Add to it that I live in Chiefs country and Kaepernick looked terrible (not blaming him) so I constantly have to hear "HURR HURR, REGRET THAT TRADE YET LOLOL" and I'm about ready to jump off the tallest building in Kansas which could potentially leave me with a bruised ankle. Who am I kidding? With how this seasons going, I'd tear my damn ACL.
TL;DR: Injuries, inabilities and idiots.

chuang-tzu | I bought something off of ebay and the seller shipped it to me via the USPS. After 12 days of waiting I decided to check on the tracking number (it wasn't anything exciting, so I didn't get too work up when it had not shown when it was supposed to). Damned if the website didn't tell me that the package had been 'delivered' three days before. No package showed up and my neighbors don't have it either. I have been calling the local Post Office for two weeks. The lady in charge of my zip code's deliveries has not ONCE picked up the phone. The best part is she hasn't set up her voicemail either, so I can't even tell her my situation.

NDLPT | I am currently a student. They flew over campus the Friday before the game doing some practice runs (or just having fun). I was standing out on South Quad watching them fly north to the dome. Then they turned east to do a very low pass east to west along over God quad. This is where the first picture was taken. After that flew some circles around campus, and they finally ended up on their approach to SBN over the lakes. On Saturday for the game, they did the flyover south-to-north at the conclusion of the Anthem. Then, they went east-to-west over the north end zone as the band formed IRISH. [Album]( from the game by the University photo staff.
Also, this was their first performance since the sequester.

Linksawake | It's important to note that cultural relativity is a fallacy. Just because people acknowledge there is a difference in culture doesn't mean they are not allowed to reasonably criticize that culture's habits if they have good reason. (Notice I said culture, not religion, there are some differences [just in case some athiest/religious/other fundamentalist reads this])
In this case, someone is highlighting the issue that carrying a firearm is more of a risk to people than the benefits. Therefore, a culture that actively accepts carrying a firearm is increasing the risk of deaths associated with said weapons.
It's pretty well documented that laws that prohibit and restrict firearms have absolutely had positive effects. Americans often point to their constitution as though the right to bear arms is the same as freedom of speech, but society doesn't work that way - it never has and it never will and the USA has ignored more important rights anyway, so why should they stop at guns?
That said, America has a broader cultural problem with their media, social problems and marginalization creating a prevalence of violence. However, this is not an excuse for lax gun laws, in fact, it almost necessitates strict gun laws in the US more so.

livinonnosleep | Ok, here's the thing is a game console worth your life? No. End of story but the thing that some people don't understand is that you have no way of knowing how far someone is going to go when committing a crime. They obviously have no regard for your personal property, whats to say that they want to leave witnesses behind to identify them? While some criminals want to get the loot and get out people who commit crime have a tendency to violence especially when taking things by force, so it's unpredictable what one could do especially when they've already crossed one line.
Carrying a knife isn't all that great of an idea because it's a close range weapon, if someone is a better fighter than you a knife won't do you a whole lot of good by the time you deploy it.
A gun can be the great equalizer in a fight, because it gives you as much or more force as your assailant. That being said, if you think just because you've fired a gun a few times (in real life) you're proficient with it to use it in self defense you're a fool. It takes long hard hours of training to get to that level, just like with any other sort of weapon/self defense.
If you don't have that type of training some things are easy to ward off. Safety in numbers has been proven time and time again, and is an effective deterrent as well as other common sense practices.

A gun can be the great equalizer in a fight, because it gives you as much or more force as your assailant. That being said, if you think just because you've fired a gun a few times (in real life) you're proficient with it to use it in self defense you're a fool. It takes long hard hours of training to get to that level, just like with any other sort of weapon/self defense.
If you don't have that type of training some things are easy to ward off. Safety in numbers has been proven time and time again, and is an effective deterrent as well as other common sense practices.
