Tool Pictures August 5th, 2009 Toronto Ontario | So I flew through Toronto to catch a Tool show on my way back from vacation in 2009. I was seated next to another dude flying solo at the show, he ended up taking a bunch of pictures, I asked him to email them to me and he came through, stand up fellow. Thought I'd share.
It was your standard 10000 Days setlist]( Also, [this is the poster from the show, might be my favorite from the three I have.
Yeah some of them are blurry, but there are a few nice one's in there. Unfortunately this is the best resolution I have. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
My motivation is fleeting and dependent on urgency. It is also easily forgotten. Very quickly I am back to my old self. Any advice is much appreciated. | Just as the title says, all throughout my life I have not been able to stay motivated. I shift into high gear when there is a deadline/perceived deadline for something. The moment I am allowed to operate without a deadline/when i realize that I remembered the deadline wrong (and in fact it is much later) I shift into this mellow state again. When I am in this state I find it easy to relax and cruise, even with the thought of what I am supposed to do drifting in the back of my head, until once again the deadline has come about.
How do I stay motivated regardless of whether or not there is a deadline for what I need to stay motivated on, and how do I *remember* that I have something I need to do, for those times that I, out of habit, start going back to my old ways and need that little mental jolt? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[TOMT][videogame] a mortal kombat game for sega genesis | now I don't know if my memories of this game or false... but I downloaded UMK3 today, and that's not the game.
in this mortal kombat game, there were the standard a,b,c buttons. but you could also use the x,y,z. so there was powerful punch and normal punch. powerful kick and normal kick. also you could run towards your enemy (and the character would usually scream while running).
also on the character select screen, there was a dragon logo that would sometimes randomly flip over to reveal a secret character (I think it was smoke).

I have a bit of a question regarding getting back on your feet after restoring a toon. | Hi /r/wow. I've recently (Just now, actually) restored my first toon ever, a Troll Warrior, who I deleted when I went on a 4-month hiatus on WoW (Was levelling him to play with a friend - friend quit WoW, I got mad and deleted toon, only to find I enjoy the game a lot (This all happened in late Vanilla, early BC).
So pretty much, I got my lv 63 Warrior restored, only to find I had deleted all of my gear before deleting him; My brother, who still actively played WoW asked for me to sell everything and send him the gold, which I agreed with (Why keep my gear if my brother could have more fun with it?) And now I'm sitting in Orgrimmar, without gear, wondering what the hell I should do to get this toon back on track. I'm planning to use him as a low level pvp-er and as a way to relive the lower level content through a way I actually enjoy: On the character I took my first flight on, the character I did my first BG on, etc.
So, /r/wow, now to the point: How to get a naked Troll Warrior back to being geared without having too much risk of being ganked or dying to mobs? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Can anyone help me find these two gentlemen? | In the fall of 2007 my grandmother took me on a trip to Ireland. We then got to take the Queen Mary 2 back to the states. During the entire trip we had the pleasure of spending time with two men by the names of Bob and John (I am in the middle of the picture). They were great company to both of us and we promised to keep in touch. Shortly after getting back my grandma realized she had lost her paper that contained their contact information. This is pretty much my last hope of finding them. The small details I remember is that they lived on the east coast. The longer haired man was into photography. They possibly spent a lot of time in southern Florida. Thank you for any help it would be amazing to reconnect with these great guys! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Stuck? Cheat on your first story by having an affair with a second story. | Hello again, fellow procrastinators!
I recently ran into a wall with my primary story and didn't touch it for weeks (I know, a sin). However, I just started a second and completely unrelated story about something else entirely in a different genre.
**And guess what happened?**
The ideas for the *primary* story started to flow and my brain decided to work again!
The second story is by no means a mere distraction, but it seems that focusing so hard on one story may be detrimental to my writing process. Taking a break and "cheating on it" with something else seems to free up those braincells and allow them to think without stressing.
And, of course, when I get stuck on the second story, the primary story welcomes me back with open arms (or at least it is none the wiser that I've been cheating on it).
This has worked for me and I'd be interested to know if it helps others.
Cheers!
BONUS TIP: Always write down those random ideas, or you **WILL** forget ;) | reddit_title_body | 25 |

In which SRD moderators protect special snowflakes. Querying greenduch on relationship status is strictly verboten | From I noticed that greenduch refers to Laurelai as "kinda an asshole".
Querying why she would refer to her present parnter as an asshole is apparently frowned upon, as my questions were deleted by the moderators.
However, greenduch herself admitting "close proximity" to Laurelai is acceptable.
It would appear that SRD is heading towards full integration with "The Fempire" at this rate.
Their hypocritical and inconsistent moderation is shameful. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
A friend wants me to read "A Skeptic's Search for God." What atheistic/agnostic/humanist book should I ask her to read? | I figure that if she's asking me to read a book to try to make me a Christian, I should be able to ask her to read a book, too.

Why a newbie thinks the "MFA Uniform" is good. | As someone who's a fairly new subscriber to MFA (maybe a month or so), I've already seen a fair bit of stuff happen here. Granted, I haven't watched the subreddit grow from only a few to 80 thousand subscribers like some of the consistent commentators, but I've seen some cool things happen. One of the most common things I see, though, are two types of posts: the circlejerk of other recent subscribers posting themselves wearing the MFA uniform, and the anti-circlejerk circlejerk of people complaining about the MFA uniform.
While I understand the response to the repetitive posts of people wearing the same thing over and over again, I think there's more to it, so I thought I'd share my take on the MFA uniform.
The uniform provides new users with a set of clothing that can be the fundamentals of a wardrobe. It shows them what fits look good on men, and how to put outfits on instead of just clothes. "But wait!", you say. "If everyone wears the same thing, it completely kills style!" This is a very valid point, which is why I think that when the MFA uniform is mentioned to new people, it should be with an explanation of WHY the items work.
Take the Timex Weekender, for example. A watch I've seen so many times in my short time here that when I see it in stores I turn my head. But there are very good reasons for recommending it: for a fairly low price, it gives you a watch with a non-cluttered, easy-to-read face that blends well with almost any outfit. It is the cheapest example of what are considered "stylish" watches. Clark's Desert Boots fall much into the same mold; they are shoes that go well with almost any outfit due to the material and the colors. Slim fit jeans and chinos, OCBD's- I see the items of the MFA uniform mentioned all the time, but what I don't see are people explaining WHY these items work well.
I think that if we focus on explaining the principles of style/clothing that are why the MFA uniform works, instead of only recommending the the same items, we can help people to start daring to branch out, get items that work for the same reasons, but that come from different manufacturers, or have bold new color ideas, or clash in a way that works beautifully. The MFA uniform has the capability of segueing smoothly into a personal style- we should try and help that process along, rather than divide along the line of "wear these and shut up" and "never wear these again".
Sorry if this post is irrelevant/unnecessary, it was just my two cents. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

If you are getting frustrated that you can't LD, please read this. | You can't think like this. Here's a quote from Stephen LaBerge as to why.
> "Before going further, I'd like to offer a piece of advice which may prevent some frustration. Sometimes people develop mental blocks that effectively prevent them from intentionally inducing lucid dreams. **Typically, they think of lucid dreaming as a very difficult state to achieve. Believing this seems to make it so.** However, I've learned how to have lucid dreams at will, so I know that it can be done, and i also know that it's easy--once you know how. My experience with teaching hundreds of people how to have lucid dreams suggest that almost everyone who diligently practices these techniques succeeds."
-LaBerge, *Exploring the world of Lucid Dreaming* (p. 57-58)
But don't look at this too quickly and say "I know the techniques and it doesn't happen!" I did the same, read this and was refreshed...
> "You are not likely to learn lucid dreaming by quickly skimming through this book. Like most anything else worth learning, lucid dreaming requires effort. Motivation is an essential prerequisite; you have to really want to do it and make sufficient time to practice. If you persevere with the exercises and procedures, we are confident that you will increase your proficiency at lucid dreaming."
-LaBerge (p. 6)
You can learn the basics of WILD, MILD, DEILD all the ILD's but it leaves out much that can actually help you. Your motivation has to be there and also persevere through the time it takes to get there.
Hint: There's a lot of testimonies about first time LD's and it may seem like you're one of the few who hasn't had one yet. Do not lose hope. A lot of the time this is because that first time LDer just read an article on LDing and got lucky. (Not always the case and not a bad thing either.) **That is not what you want.** You want to learn to control your dreams, not by chance, but by will.
Don't give up or slow down. Believe you can do it. In the words of Morpheus, "Don't *think* you can. *Know* you can." | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Is being a "career" politician a bad thing? | Many have criticized, over the past three or four years, some politicians as being "career" politicians. Is this necessarily a bad thing to be?

/r/Shreveport, let's talk about the sidebar | **Upvote this for maximum visibility (it's a self post!)**
I'd like to add a sidebar that's beneficial to newcomers and regulars to this subreddit alike.
Sooo, without further ado, name three items per category, and I'll tally them up and list the top 3 (or more!)
** *Favorite places-* **
* to eat?
* to drink?
* to relax after a long day of work?
* to meet with friends?
* to meet with coworkers?
* to meet new people?
* to have fun
* to buy food?
* to buy specialty items?
** *Least favorite place-* **
* to eat?
* to drink?
** *Area's to avoid* **
In this section, just list any area's that you (a wise Shreveporter) avoid for any given reason (dangerous, speed trap, etc.)
** *"Can't miss" areas of Shreveport* **
In this section, if you had a relative visiting for one day, list the place you'd take them to first!
** *Suggestions for /r/shreveport* **
Lastly, this won't go to the sidebar, but feel free to offer any suggestions you may have for this subreddit or our moderation crew. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

What's an awesome costume party theme? Needed to defeat nemesis boys! | Every year my improv team has a BNO/GNO (Boys Night Out/Girls Night Out). Each gender independently comes up with our own costume theme and the guys beat us for best idea every year.

Would be nice to see a practice mode with full champion roster. | I have just recently started playing the Smite Beta, fun game but im not sure it will replace my LoL addiction. It has one feature i really like and it would be nice to see this come to LoL in season 3. There is a practice mode with a single lane map where you can try out champions against a computer AI. This is similar to a custom game with one AI or a co-op vs AI game with the one exception. You can play as any champion on the roster, not just the few that are currently unlocked as free. This gives you can chance to see what the different champions are like to decide what you may like to purchase with gems(RP) or Favor(IP). With so many champions in LoL now it takes forever for some champs to come up in the rotation so it can be difficult to make choices over what you want to unlock. I think, bringing this game mode to LoL would be a great idea, would make new champion purchases less stressful and reduce the need to give out refunds.
Just a thought. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
How do I cook beef top sirloin steaks? | They were given as a present, but I have never cooked steak before. I don't know what to season with or how to cook them. I want to make two of them and they are 4ozs each. Hope someone can help. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Why not cocked and unlocked? | It is generally taken as obvious that one should not carry a hammer-fired single-action or DA/SA pistol with the hammer cocked and the safety off. That used to seem obvious to me as well, but modern pistols and carry doctrine seem to contradict it.
While the Glock, in factory form only preloads the striker to about 80%, most Glock-like pistols are true single-actions. The ~~M&P~~, PPQ and XD come to mind here, but I suspect there are more. Of those, only the M&P offers a manual safety, and that version is usually shunned. Modern carry doctrine is more or less:
* Always carry in a quality holster that covers the trigger guard with something rigid.
* Modern guns cannot fire unless something pulls the trigger. Even a malfunction that releases the striker will not fire the gun because the firing-pin block remains engaged unless the trigger is pulled.
* Never touch the trigger unless your sights are aligned with something you've decided to shoot.
So what's the difference between carrying an ~~M&P or~~ PPQ ready to fire and a CZ-75B or PX4 cocked and unlocked?
I think it's mostly cultural. For decades, it *was* unsafe to carry cocked and unlocked. The Glock was perceived as safe in part because it was seen as double-action and in part because Glock did a lot of marketing about how safe their pistol was, even calling its operating mechanism "safe action".
I'll preempt the obvious "the trigger is lighter" answer by repeating that nothing should ever touch the trigger unless you mean to be shooting. It's also unlikely that it would make any difference if the trigger snagged on something while holstering; it usually takes more force than a Glock trigger to push a gun in to any holster with decent retention.
Edit: M&P appears to be preloaded rather than single-action, at least in factory form. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Why is MLB 12 the show so difficult? | I have always played the show and been fairly good. I love baseball and I'm a huge fan of the game. However this year the game seems to be extremely difficult. I haven't had more than 3 hits in a game and have yet to score a run. The computer has had 5+ runs in every game. I can get two strikes and then they foul off 10 pitches and rip a double or something, its ridiculous. The pitching is too difficult, they never chase. I can't even play the field, and the don't get me started on the batting. I have flown out more times than I can count! Its not even that I'm striking out either. Anyone else have this problem? What do you think of the game? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Why does the Klingon Empire have a "Defence Force"? | The only thing I can think of is it parallels restrictions placed on the Japanese after WWII in that they could only ever have a defensive military. But we are something like 100 years after the Praxis incident, and the Klingons clearly have a fleet that goes well beyond a purely defensive nature.
Hell if I were Klingon I'd be steamed to be serving in something some innocuously-named as the KDF. Grand Imperial Fleet of Glorious Conquest sounds more like it! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Do you think it's important to tell people you're dating whether or not you've dated transpeople in the past? | A new guy friend of mine wants me to set him up on a date with a girlfriend of mine (I'm a straight female). I have no problem with it, but the thing is that he identifies as heterosexual and has dated/had sex with transwomen in the past.
I'm all for people refusing labels or labeling themselves however they please, but would it really be fair for her to get into something with him without him telling her that he has had sex with people who have penises?

What's with the libertarian love on reddit? | I consider reddit to be a heavily progressive/liberal community, but I am constantly surprised by the number of pro-libertarian comments/posts I see on reddit.
I am a liberal and long ago thought that I would agree to libertarian principles sooner than I would republican ones, though now I have done a 180, so to speak, and also think that most redditors would agree if they truly understood the complete libertarian platform (more than, "oh cool they would legalize marijuana!")
Libertarians are in complete and ideological opposition to the social safety net, progressive federal legislation that has advanced civil rights and worker's rights, or any regulatory agency, (financial, environmental, commerce, etc...) yet for some reason it seems as if most redditors respect these positions more so than those of republicans.
Besides the fact that it seems conservatism is more strongly linked to those in the republican party than the wide variety of people who call themselves libertarians, why are redditors less critical of libertarian views and policy than those of conservative republicans? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
VERY frustrated with my 3 year old's behavior...need emotional support. | In a lot of ways, our 3 year old is totally normal and really awesome. But lately, he's backtalking a lot more, and "testing" us - where we'll ask him to do something and he'll yell "NO" or he'll just not do it, then parade in front of us like he's going to "win".
My problem is that I keep forgetting that when you argue with a child, you're going to lose. Worse problem - things turn into matches of yanking things out of each other's hands and someone gets hurt. For example - today, I'm getting ready for work and he grabs my shirt. My wife was trying to get him up on the changing table to get him dressed, and he wouldn't give me my shirt back. Now, if that weren't literally my last clean shirt, I'd normally just walk away and get another and me ignoring it would diffuse the situation. But I asked him to hand it over. I told him to hand it over. I did a 1-2-3 count. Then, I grabbed it. He pulled back, the shirt came free, he fell backward. So, now he's hurt and I feel like a jerk for indirectly hurting my kid - which isn't my intention. But I don't know what else to do. Then, I try to explain what's wrong with his behavior and he literally puts his hand up toward me and says "NO, STOP TALKING."
I mean, I get the whole "terrible twos and threes" thing. And I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel. But it's so hard to see that far right now, and I think just need to keep hearing that he'll snap out of this.
Thanks for reading, guys. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Anyone interested in starting a f2p pking clan? ~28-40 CB? | I've been wanting to create a clan for ages, but most people are interested in 1v1 pking (something I'm not very good at, so I prefer to rush as part of a team). Would anyone be interested? All it would take would be to quickly train an account to like 40-50 range or something. For a clan like this it's not as useful to have multiple combat disciplines as when you're 1v1ing, and you're just focussing on piling newbs. Alternatively I have a cb level 53 pure with decent stats (70 range and mage, and 60 str 40 attk 1 pray 5 def hp in the 60's) that I use on a day to day basis

Coming back to shortwave radio after a 20 year hiatus -- what happened? | So, my wife bought me a Grundig G3 Globe Traveler radio for my birthday. Started poking around the various bands, and I was horrified by the lack of good content. No more RCI? Weak VOA broadcasts. Virtual take over by Christian Radio stations. WTF is going on?
Not going to return the radio, but I am thinking that picking up a copy of WRTH 2013 might be helpful, but good grief, shortwave seems like it is in crisis. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Was anyone else a bit disappointed that Paragon seemed to be favored over Renegade? Spoilers Inside | Overall, I felt like Bioware rewarded a full Paragon route over a full Renegade route, examples being:
* Saving the Rachni allows you to obtain them as war assets (where Renegades play the same missions but can only have war assets removed)
* Keeping Krogan support is much more beneficial than Salarian support, and you can't keep both (I think, but I'm not sure)
* Saving the green Asari (from ME1) gives you a small bonus war asset
I feel like choosing the hard decision should have paid off more in small ways, like not having to deal with the reaper rachni (which could have been replaced with a different enemy), etc.

Discrepancies between lifetime and last-12-month statistics in domestic abuse studies. What's going on? |
If you look at page 43 of the above report, you find that 15.3% of men and 20.9% of women have experienced domestic abuse since they were 16 (from the "Experienced any psychological / physical abuse" column).
On the next page, statistics based on the last 12 months are reported. For men and women they are 5.3% and 5.0%, respectively. Can someone explain to me why these two pages show completely different results?
I have two ideas to explain this:
* Domestic abuse was perpetrated more by men in the past, but now things have reversed in slight favour of women. The 16-24 age bracket is similar for both men and women, but the 25-44 and 45-59 age brackets show significantly more abuse towards more women. This seems to contradict early research by Erin Pizzey, who said that most domestic abuse was reciprocal. If it was mostly reciprocal, even the older people should have similar figures.
* People misremember things. Women, not remembering quite how things transpired in their 20s, assume they were abused. And women would be more likely to see things that way, after so many media campaigns only portraying evil men battering their innocent their innocent wives. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

How does your "state of mind" affect the quality of your training? | It seems to be popular to "multitask" during training - for example, watching TV while using an exercise bike. I wonder if this has any noticeable impact on the results of your training, compared to if you do the exact same exercise but put all your concentration on it.
How could the brain affect your training? Well, in my high school a teacher claimed that visualizing can be an important part of training. She also said studies had found that visualizing something, e.g. shooting a basketball, had a measurable positive effect on your actual performance. (I haven't checked if this is true though.)
Basically, I want to know if the brain plays a significant part in how much we get out of our training (fat burning, muscle building, increased lung capacity, ...), or if it's just a function of how much you exercise your muscles, lungs etc. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Why doesn't Ronaldo play striker position? | I know he's always played as winger, but he has the speed to outrun opponents when aerial through balls come his way. Also, he has a ballistic shot if he were to hit it from 30-35 yards out. Instead of working his way to the center from the wing, he would be there naturally. I think he could score more from a central position, definitely has the ability.
And Benzema and Higuain are just as capable as playing wings and kicking crosses like Ronaldo did against Malaga. Any input? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

[TOMT] Teenage girl book that spoofed Birth of Venus on the cover | It was about a dorky girl trying to deal with typical high school problems.
It was kind of like the Georgia Nicolson series. I remember something about the girl having a gay dad. There was a guy named Ben (I think) who played soccer as well. He was like the main love interest, but ended up being gay. I also remember that it had a title that made me vaguely uncomfortable. But they spoofed Birth of Venus on the cover.

Six states in America constitutionally ban atheists from holding public office.
Maryland: "That no religious test ought ever to be required as a qualification for any office of profit or trust in this State, other than a declaration of belief in the existence of God; nor shall the Legislature prescribe any other oath of office than the oath prescribed by this Constitution."
Arkansas: "No person who denies the being of a God shall hold any office in the civil departments of this State, nor be competent to testify as a witness in any Court."
Mississippi: "No person who denies the existence of a Supreme Being shall hold any office in this state."
South Carolina: "No person who denies the existence of a Supreme Being shall hold any office under this Constitution."
Tennessee: "No person who denies the being of God, or a future state of rewards and punishments, shall hold any office in the civil department of this state."
Texas: "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being."

Question about water quality in a barrel system, help please? | We have a single barrel system that is only a couple of months old. Everything is going pretty well, we only lost 3 fish out of 20 since the start. In the past week or so, the water has gotten very cloudy and I am wondering if this will be a problem or if it is normal. I just scraped the sides of the barrel with a brush to clean up some, I guess it is algae? or just general gunk? It looks black to me, although the barrel is blue, so I suppose the color may not be true. pH is at about a 7 - 7.3 and all other levels (gh, kh, nitrates, etc) look normal. Any help will be very, very greatly appreciated!
photos
EDIT: added photos
Edit2: When I got home and took the photos (not the greatest quality, I know) The blotchyness at the bottom does turn up a greenish color. I am thinking now that this is just algae. Without the photo's flash, the water just appears murky brown and I was worried that there was too much fish waste per plants. As I mentioned before, it is a young system.
That being the case, what is the best way to keep algae growth to a minimum? Will too much algae affect the fishes growth/health? Thank you all so much for your help. This is our first barrel and it is a definite learning process! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
EFLI - Pro Football in India | The EFLI is a brand new pro football league founded last year by people including Kurt Warner, Mike Ditka, and Mark Wahlberg. It wants to expand the sport of american-rules football into South Asia (India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) where there is a huge untapped market. They have brought in tons of trainers, coaches, and experts from the NFL to grow this into a legitimate football league.
The first season's games will air on TEN Sports starting September 15. The season schedule will consist of the 8 teams playing the other 7 teams once each, and then the top 4 go to the playoffs. They are using american rules (not canadian or australian) and the commentating is in english, so it's very easy to jump into.

I loved ranger in GW1. Will I enjoy ranger in GW2? | I didn't get into any of the beta's so unfortunately I didn't get the chance to figure out which class I want to roll come launch time. In GW1 I played a lot of PvP, mostly as an interrupt ranger. I loved the survivability of the class and especially loved how (in my opinion) the ranger was the most diverse/well rounded class. The ranger always seemed to have the biggest number of viable builds in the metagame and in my opinion was the most balanced class in terms of being good at offense, defense, and utility. I was planning on rolling a ranger in GW2 but from the videos I've seen they seem quite different in playstyle from their GW1 counterparts.
I'm basically looking for the class that strikes a good balance between offense, defense, and utility. Is the ranger that class? In GW2 is the ranger the "jack of all trades" like it was in GW1? Any and all tips which can help me pick a class are more than welcome! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Implanon BC.. Raging Hormones? Am I crazy? | TwoX, about two years ago I got the Implanon birth control implant. It's a small stick, like the size of a toothpick, that was inserted in my arm. At the time I weighed about 150 pounds, but since then I've lost about 15 pounds.
For the past two years I haven't had a period, no spotting, and no noticeable PMS/mood swings.
With this new weight loss, I've gone back to pre-BC style PMS. I have the worst cramps, I'm very tired, and a raging hormonal mess. I've cried several times this week, for no apparent reason. I've even been creating problems in my head with my boyfriend that don't really exist.
TL;DR- I've been on Implanon for about 2 years but am now having problems. So, am I crazy? Has anyone else experienced this crazy hormone issue? I'm not nearly attached to this BC, so removal is an option. | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Question about losing weight in arms and thighs | Hello r/loseit! I've been reading your stories often for inspiration.
I've lost 30 pounds in the last 3 months (195-165). Most of this weight that I've lost has come from my stomach, and It doesn't appear to affect my thighs or arms. Part of my physical therapy (knee problems) is to do leg lifts twice a day, a total of about an hour. Along with that I do an hour and a half of cardio a day.
I was told that I can't lose weight, "tone," my thighs and arms until I lose weight all over my body first.
If it matters any, I'm a 5'2, 20 year old female.
**TL;DR** Do I have to lose all of my excess weight before I can tone my thighs and arms? Or will they gradually get more toned throughout my weight loss? | reddit_title_body | 25 |

I would think there is still a plentiful market for dirt cheap new cars in the US. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Time to think about r/crossdressing_xxx? | As most regular visitors would be aware there has been a certain amount of debate with regard to the suitability (or not) of some of the postings on r/crossdressing. I can understand and sympathise with the feelings of those who see r/crossdressing as a 'family friendly' site with the emphasis on the innocent pleasures of dressing and make-up. At the same time I can also sympathise with the confusion of those who arrive at this sub-reddit as the first point of contact, bravely show themselves in (what seems to them) a sexy pair of panties and who are then promptly redirected to r/gonewildcd where they are expected to rub shoulders with an 'anything goes' crowd of hedonists - not the easiest of introductions and possibly a chastening experience that inhibits further involvement.
I've looked around at different x-dressing reddits and I have to say that there's not much choice available between the two extremes. Where would someone who happens to be into lingerie, nylons or nightdresses post? They'd upset r/crossdressing and be ignored in r/gonewildcd . The drag sections wouldn't be interested and the tgirls are a whole different country, so don't even think of going there! What I believe is required is somewhere that accepts the sexual aspects of dressing from a sensual viewpoint. Can people find males in nylons arousing? I'd hope so and I don't find anything reprehensible in that at all. Do people find hairy rears filled with toys enjoyable? No doubt some do, but I personally can't see much of a link to x-dressing as the primary focus is on the rear and the toy, not the clothing. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it but it all comes down to a matter of degree and defintion.
However there is an alternative. r/crossdressing_xxx was set up for lovers of lingerie and more intimate apparel where sexuality is implicit, but not necessarily 'in your face' - a half-way house as it were. It seems to have languished unused since its inception but now is surely as good a time as any to utilise its potential? A place for people to post pictures they are worried are too contentious for r/crossdressing or too tame for r/gonewildcd. A place for the cross-dressing sensualist who enjoys to tease, the cross-dresser who would rather flutter eyelids than butt-cheeks, the cross-dresser who is comfortable with the notion of 'adult' but who doesn't necessarily desire the blatant. r/crossdessing's racy older brother maybe?
If it comes to that it could also be a showcase and harbour for those who might feel themselves to be minorities; for the female to male dressers to show us their swagger or for photos of dressers with their sympathetic 'others' in pictures that show mutual support and love. And with the Paralympics just starting it makes me wonder if there no people with disabilities who cross-dress? OK, I won't get carried away but let's just say that r/crossdressers_xxx *could* be a tolerant, libertarian halfway house between two extremes. I'd still post on sub-reddits as the content demanded but I've been in, dusted it down and put in a couple of albums to get things underway. It feels a bit like putting some old furniture in a bare flat and heaven knows I'm no glamour puss so if you've a nightdress shot or a photo of a splendid pair of nylons that you've had tucked away for years why not come and share it on r/crossdressing_xxx. You'll be doing everyone a favour by providing an alternative and you can always come back here afterward...we won't tell ;-) (strangely there were already 175 viewers even with no content!)
As a suggestion could I also propose that any re-direction from this sub-reddit might be to r/crossdressing_xxx in future, rather than to r/gonewildcd? With luck it might be more sympathetic and less of a culture-shock for all concerned!
OK, that's my speech over. Now let the discussion begin! | reddit_title_body | 25 |

Should Ron Paul address vote count fraud? | As wikiquote quotes Joseph Stalin as saying, "I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how."
Many are crying blatant foul after Nevada, where we saw an actual drop in absolute votes for Paul all over the place. Does anyone think this actually happened? Paul lost voters over the past 4 years? He's up 3-400 percent in some states, while flat-lining over a 4 year period in others? Yeah, that makes sense...
Anyways, I want to leave the debate about the details of the fraud out of this thread. What I'd like to have a discussion about here is what should be done about this?
Clearly, Ron Paul and the official campaign are staying away from the f-word (fraud) as far as possible. We all know their reasoning; they'll look like sore losers, it makes them not look credible, etc etc...
Is there not a bigger issue at stake here than the results of these several caucuses and primaries? Isn't the whole premise that America has free and fair elections in question here? I find it amazing that "international observers" go all around the world to observe elections in various countries, but who is observing our process? I can only imagine what they'd say in their reports.
So bringing this back to the thread title: Should Paul address the issue in order to bring it out into the national spotlight? I don't see how Ron has a chance now or Rand or anyone else will have a chance in 2016 if the voting system isn't changed to ensure an accurate vote count.
The last point I'll make is that many Paul supporters have let it slide how far Ron has backpedaled over the past decade on issues like a new 9/11 investigation, and many accept that on issues like vote count fraud it's best to just be quiet, all with the idea in mind that Paul should just remain out there in the media plugging away the message of peace and a sound monetary policy, rather than get bogged down in the media storm that would ensue should he pursue any of the Unspeakables with a bit of vigor. Perhaps it is time we start to look at other strategies, because all I see happening if things continue as they are is that the message gets diluted in the rolling waves of the 24 hour news cycle while the hard hitting truths remain unspoken about, even by the candidate for liberty. That is all, thanks.

23 yrs old (male), going on my first date ever, never kissed a girl and freaking the fuck OUT! Help me! | Just thinking about this right now, is getting me nervous. I've been a virgin all my life, never been on a date, never even kissed a girl. BUT....
I'm going on my first ever date right now, the idea of going on a date doesn't really scare me as much as kissing. I don't know how to kiss, how i'm supposed to do it, if i'm coming on too strong, how to use my tongue? How do i know when to kiss her or if its the right moment. I'm on in 3 hrs, HELP!!!!
UPDATE: Holy cow! first off thank you so much for the advice, i wanted to reply while i was on the date and give an update (while she was in the restroom, of course).
It went extremely well! Started off very nervous, which she immediately noticed but turned around pretty quick half hour into it. I think she kind of picked up on the fact that i haven't dated that much (i did not tell her this was my first date), she was very outgoing and that helped out tremendously with the conversation. If i had to put the conversation ratio between her and I, i'd say 10 to 1 (for every 1 word i said, she said 10), is that bad?.
And now for the moment i have been waiting for, oops, i mean, you've been waiting for, we kissed, i initiated, although sort of bumped her nose going in the first time, she started laughing, which was sort of a sigh of relief for me :D . I didn't realize just how wet a kiss is. A little bit of tongue was involved, or maybe it was just because of how wet it felt, i don't really know. Serious question though, how am i supposed to stop myself from getting an erection while kissing, i kinda had to shift my lower body away during the process?
I am so tired right now, but too exited to go to sleep. So thankful for all the advice! am going to seriously print this thing out or save it somewhere.
UPDATE 2: Just go into work :D. This rarely happens, me smiling at work haha! :D I just got the confirmation, that it went well on her end, just texted me saying "we should hang out again soon! xoxo"
Again, thank you guys so much for the support! I'll try flexing next time i kiss her, hopefully that will help! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
IWTL about Charleston's most interesting residents. | I'm looking to do a story about our city's interesting residents - the 89 year old farmer still plowing the field his family has owned for generations, the tiny little widow living above a bar because she loves her Charleston apartment so much, the refugee from a violent nation who has found peace here, etc. etc.
Who do you know of that should really have their story told?
I'm going to be driving around this weekend looking for these people, but I'd welcome any stories or leads you guys might have! Life is all about connections, right? :) | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I faked an orgasm during our first time having sex and now he's way cocky | We just started seeing each other and have only had sex once. I think he was nervous, it wasn't amazing and was lasting forever so I faked an orgasm. He didn't finish at all. Now he thinks he's the greatest damn thing in the world and is acting pretty cocky. Everything he says now kind of seems sex-related, but I wanna be with this guy. Any suggestions guys? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Reddit, my work colleague committed a heinous act. I need ways to begin a campaign of education as to why you don't mess with another man's biscuit supply... | 'Judas' as he shall be known stole biscuits and left a note which said "Hey Idiots, Team 'Judas' FTW" with a picture of him eating said biscuits in a provocative manner. What can I do to not just get even, but ensure that my team's precious biscuit supply is never tampered with again. He used to be on our team, and as such part of the biscuit devouring society, but he has now moved to a different part of the office. We still invited him to the "biscuit summits," as we liked to call them, which he accepted whole heartedly. This is a step that can't go unpunished, but we don't want to just get even...this is a campaign of education...you don't mess with another man's biscuits...
Things we have done/are planning to do:
Swap the keys on his keyboard round to say 'Judas'
Place one of the biscuits in the bottom of his food container. He often brings in cold food leftovers, curry, risotto etc, and heats it up here at work, so a choclatey biscuit at the bottom would certainly be an interesting find
Head of tech mentioned he may have remote access to his machine...and may allow us to play fun and games with this access upon his return from holiday.
Moving various desk ornaments
So reddit, your best office revenge ideas are needed! Help us exact our sweet sweet biscuity revenge on 'Judas'!
TL;DR Guy in office stole our biscuits, need office prank ideas to get revenge on him | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Let brother in law borrow a phone. He sold it. What can I do? | I let my brother in law borrow my Mytouch 4g a few months ago.
He recently switched carriers, and I wanted it back. It was made clear is was a loan until he got a better phone. I asked him if he wanted to buy it, he said no, he would get a better phone soon. He never did.
I asked for it back today, he told me now, he turned it in for credit on his new iPhone.
It wasnt his to do that with and I am reaaaallllyyyy pissed.
What can I do? I am not sure I still have the box. I did purchase it directly from the carrier, but it was a while ago. He needs to know he cant just sell peoples stuff! | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Things you don't like about Ron Paul | Paul supporter here. I only hear EPS people belittling us and calling us names. I am seeking out any people of this subreddit drowned out by this hatred to have a civil discussion with a Paul supporter.
What are the main things you don't like about Ron Paul? Is his honesty - weather or not he is right on anything - not enough to push someone to admire him? Personally, I believe one would have an obligation to vote for the only honest man on the field. Personally, I would vote for him even if he was a statist. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
I'm doing a project for a Social Sciences class linking the Baltimore, MD area to the rest of the world. So world, what are fishing techniques in your area? | Pictures and stories like this are awesome:
Here in Maryland we have a large bay. We have a major crabbing industry. As spring turns into summer, Stripped bass become huge game to catch for fun and food. Net fishing is limited in the area, mostly to just the Ocean. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Good World Political Map in SVG | I'm looking for a solid (doesn't have to be super detailed) world political map (non-mercator) in svg format **other** than the CIA version, which I have had lots of problems with. Any ideas? | reddit_title_body | 25 |
Tips on speaking with doctor to get the most out of your treatment? | Wondering if anyone has advice on speaking with the doc? I just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of my treatment. Might be thinking about it too much, but I often feel like I might not be expressing myself very well, as lately I feel as though I am in a cloud of confusion. I have only been diagnosed for a few months now and trying to pull myself out of this depressive episode. It's hard to know whether a behavior is due to symptoms of the disorder or if it is just circumstantial. | reddit_title_body | 25 |
