This is the furthest I have been in a relationship so far and from our conversations I know she has had previous boyfriends. She also talks about sex stuff in a relaxed manner. I really have no clue what I am doing in this field of matters, so I am just guessing on things to say/do. Further background, I just started school at a new area and I live by myself so I have not developed that large of a social network. Also, her and I are in our early 20s. She doesn't really take the lead in a lot of situations so I have to make the 'first' move on a lot of things, which I have been a bit nervous about. We kissed after the second date but things stalled after that until the last date. I didn't really have the guts to ask her up to my apartment and she didn't want to make the move on her own. I think this may of been frustrating for her?? I have not told her that I have not dated anyone before. Should I mention this to her? We also have not had 'lets be BF/GF' chat. How do I know when/how to do this? On the last date, we had dinner. During dinner she asked me if I am lonely. I sorta dodged the question, but I think she saw through it. While walking her back I asked to visit my place, which she agreed. We fooled around for the first time and I walked her back. We typically chat a decent amount on gchat/phone/text. I tried to talk to her in the past few days but she has been completely off the radar. I'm so confused on what to do. =\\ Did I move too quickly?", "label": 1, "domain": "social", "token_count": 380, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}

My dad has since moved to another country for work, and since both my brother and I moved for college, she has a lot of free time. I'm back home for a little while as I transition to post-college life, so sometimes, we hang out and play video games. This is awesome, except she's terrible. We started with New Super Mario Bros. Wii, because the whole family could play it. That was fine, since every additional player was a failsafe (if my mom fell into a pit, well, she'd just end up in a bubble). After we beat that, I tried to get her into Mario Galaxy, which my brother had bought before leaving the Wii at home. It turns out, she has a really hard time with the whole three dimensions thing - she can't aim, constantly runs off edges, and has the tendency to panic. So I went ahead and downloaded a couple Kirby games, figuring platformers would be more up her alley. She's not doing much better. Sure, she only has two worry about two dimensions, but so many of the basic abilities my brother and I developed as kids seem to be missing. She has a hard time remembering controls; her timing tends to be off; and she can't get certain moves down (such as wall-jumping in Mario games, or exhaling to fall faster in Kirby games). It makes me cringe. I know she enjoys playing games, even though she gets frustrated occasionally. Sometimes, I help her out, but I'm starting to take it personally that my attempts at teaching her how not to die have failed. How can I make my lessons stick? Also, I'm pretty sure she isn't sucking at these games just to spend time with me. I've come home from work a couple times to find her playing. EDIT: I guess the reason it gets to me is that she gave up on Mario Galaxy cause she was frustrated. She's also become kind of a completionist, but can't always get 100% because she just does the same thing over and over.", "label": 1, "domain": "social", "token_count": 457, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}

No phones ringing off the hook, one receptionist actually \\\"receiving\\\" us, and another was surfing the www, looking at dresses! High call volume??? Riiiight!

It smelled and tasted awful. They decided to extend the length of time she was on it, but didn't inform me. I found out from the school nurse who spoke to them about givng the meds at school. The culture came back, and they needed to change the antibiotic anyway. The assistant who called to tell me that they had called a new Rx in to the pharmacy said that she couldn't tell me what type of infection my daughter had. I told her to have the doctor call me back, but to give me about 30 min. to get home so that I could write it down. Of course that part of the message didn't get through because he called me 10 min. later while I was drivng and could take down the name of the infection. From what I could remember of the type of infection, when I googled it, I couldn't find anything, so I still don't know what it was, and have put in another call. When I asked him about the antibiotic, he had trouble telling me about it.

Their official claim is they are severely overweight with a touch(?) of depression. They are aware their claim is bogus and they admit they are fully capable of working in an office environment. My friend is in their late 20's and has only had one temp job that lasted 2 - 3 months.

They live *entirely* off of the government's dime. AMA.

It makes me furious to know that my friend is one of the reasons why my family members had to fight tooth and nail to prove they really were disabled, because people attempt to abuse the system so much. We have had numerous drawn out fights were I've voiced my complaints about their unethical abuse.

It spit out a receipt that said, \\\"Transaction Failed.\\\" Be warned - the service fee is an unreasonable $3; however, since I doubt this thing ever works, you won't pay the fee (you also won't get any cash).\\n\\n- Prices are outrageous. With the ATM down, I made my way to the soda area so that I could buy a Diet Coke and then get cash back from the register. Their soda prices are a good $0.30 higher than anyone else. I shouldn't be surprised, nor should I be complaining about this, as it's no secret that Walgreens generally charges a premium for anything in their store.\\n\\n- Checkouts are slow. I got into line to check-out with my Diet Coke. I was 7th in line. One cashier. After 5 people were checked out (only one more person in front of me), the cashier fires-up the microphone and asks for more checkout assistance. Ugh.\\n\\n- When I went to check out and hit the \\\"cash back\\\" option, the kid who was running the newly opened register informed me that he didn't have $20 in his drawer to give me for change. Really? He had to get a $20 from the other checker.\\n\\n- You can't enter/exit from University; you have to enter from Branch Street\\n\\n+ At least it's bright in here and the store feels fairly clean.", "label": 1, "domain": "review", "token_count": 432, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}

The other harder thing is that most of my friends where I live now happen to be guys, so at times it's somewhat hard to flirt with him while in a group, and there are few chances to see how he interacts with other girls.

I've never had anyone complain about me, and whenever I talk to people I try my best to be cheerful and pleasant. I frequently make jokes and go out of my way to help everyone and have even received nice comments on comment cards. My store leader however feels that I do not smile enough. Smiling is one of the \"team member standards\" at Whole Foods, which I suppose makes sense. He previously asked me if I enjoy working there because he never sees me smile and I should do it more often because customers will think I am miserable. I explained to him that when I talk to customers or co-workers I try and be as pleasant as possible, but I have depression and it is very hard for me to pretend to be happy 24/7. Also, somehow it managed to trickle down to everyone else that I have depression. The assistant store leader told me in passing that my store leader had wanted me to be let go for not smiling, but he stood up for me and told him that I was the best employee they had. I guess what I am trying to ask is, is it legal to fire me for something that I cannot control? I try really hard to look happy, or at least not depressed, but it is very difficult. I feel like I was forced into telling my boss my private health problems, not to mention that I have this constant looming fear that if the Assistant Store Leader leaves, my Store Leader will find a reason to let me go.

He's been in the Marines for 8 years and will (hopefully) be discharged honorably in October of this year. He's an MP (military police for those who don't know the acronyms) and has been to Iraq 2 times. He's got no record, nothing saying anything bad about him, except that he was on the Marine's version of \"fat camp,\" which shows up as \"remedial\" at some point or another (but I'm not worried about that). He also has his high school diploma, but no other schooling other than his training to be in the marines/ MP school/ varies military related classes. In other words, he's qualified to work security jobs... and that's it. This is where we are having issues. He's having some trouble with finding jobs since many of them are online applications that require fantastic resumes. His resume lacks a lot of \"real world\" achievements (i.e. college, volunteer time, etc...) which he and I are afraid will prevent him from being qualified for a lot of jobs. We've looked at a number of sites that post government security jobs, but most of them have passed their window for applying or he doesn't think he will be qualified for. Plus, he doesn't want to be a \"cop,\" since that's what he's done for the past 8 years, yet that is pretty much all he's qualified to be. So, to avoid the \"cop\" profession, we've been searching for airport security, musuem security, TSA, etc... type jobs, but as I said before, either he doesn't seem qualified, he's missed the window, or we just can't find anything in some cases.

I recently shelled out for a 1TB HDD that I installed ubuntu on, but before that everything was on my old 80 gig hard drive. However, I'm ridiculously incompetent at comparing things, so after about an hour of looking online, I've decided to defer to reddit for advice. My current card is a GeForce 8600 GTS that I've had for quite awhile. It's a bit buggy and prone to overheating, but I've fixed that with a ghetto cooling system consisting of a wall-fan blowing air directly into the open face of my case. It's served me well enough but it's starting to chug on the newer games unless I run them on pretty low settings. I'm not an intense gamer, but I'm definitely getting Diablo III when it comes out and there will surely be other games I want, so I need to know whether the gt 240 is a decent upgrade over what I have, and whether or not it will last me for a year or two before another upgrade. Unfortunately, as I said before, I am not hardware savvy enough to know, especially since this is the GDDR3 gt 240 as opposed to the GDDR5 model.

Also, it might be nice to hear from anyone else who is currently using one to see if they had the same problems I did (though a quick Google search showed me that I wasn't alone). I purchased the Blu-Link remote back in January 2010 because it was the only really affordable remote I could find that would control a PS3. When I fired it up for the first time, it easily connected to the PS3 and I had functionality for all of my components (Panasonic Plasma TV, Pioneer Receiver, Time/Warner Cable Box, Unbranded Component Video Switch Box) programmed within an hour. Most of them only needed me to enter a manufacturing code that was provided in the Blu-Link's manual. After about two months of use, I started to have a problem where the remote would be unresponsive after it was set down. When I pressed a button, nothing would happen for a few seconds then the blue light would flash and I would be able to control the PS3 again. As time passed, this problem began to get worse. Now, the remote will disconnect in mid-use: I'll be pressing the down arrow to scroll through a PS3 menu and the remote will just stop working. In a few seconds, the blue light will flash and it will reconnect, only to lose connection again a few seconds later. This will repeat until I'm frustrated enough to grab my PS3 controller off the shelf. I contacted customer support to explain my problem and received a message a few days later suggesting only that I check the batteries (this is something I did immediately once the controlled began acting up even though the PS3 reported that the remotes batteries were fully charged). I responded to this message saying I had indeed changed the batteries and have yet to receive another response. I've been following up every couple of weeks to no avail. I seem to remember the remote first acting up after I installed on of Sony's PS3 updates, so it's possible the problems with the remote were caused by this. But, whether the fault lies with Blu-Link or Sony, the result is still the same: I need to find a new universal remote.

My intention is to get her off as well, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to just push her over the bed and have my way with her in whatever manner I would like.

Importance: High FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Greetings Australian Government Officials, Members of Local and International Press, and the General Public. We are Anonymous. Austrailia - 2/8/2010 - Over the past several years, we have maintained a close watch on the actions of the Australian Government with particular focus on its stance towards internet censorship. Australia's laws on internet censorship are already among the most restrictive in the western world. Their government filters more internet content than any other Parliamentary Democracy. For some elements within the Government, including Telecommunications Minister Senator Stephen Conroy, this still is not enough. Late in January of 2009 he proposed legislature that would lead to mandatory ISP filtering for all of Australia. The stated goal is to prevent Australia from viewing \"illegal and unwanted content\" on the internet. Anonymous' concern with this legislature is twofold. First, the ambiguity of the term \"unwanted content\" is completely unacceptable. No government should have the right to refuse its citizens access to information solely because they perceive it to be \"unwanted.\" Indeed, the only possible interpretation of \"unwanted content\" is content that the government itself does not want to be seen. More importantly, Anonymous does not approve of the steps already undertaken by the Australian Government to control what their populous sees. Claiming to be cracking down on \"simulated child pornography,\" many depictions of women with small breasts in pornography have been banned. Officials cannot claim that they believe the models in these movies are in fact underage, as the production the titles that have been affected are heavily regulated to ensure the age of the models. Instead they are relying on earlier ambiguous wording that allows pornography featuring models that \"appear to be\" under 18 years of age to be treated in the same manner as actual child pornography. The repercussions of this censorship of a natural body type on the psyche of Australian women cannot be understated, but this is not Anonymous' concern. The Australian Government will learn that one does not mess with our porn. No one messes with our access to perfectly legal (or illegal) content for any reason. We are Legion. We do not Forgive. We do not Forget Expect us.

Even though it doesn't run as many things as its more dominant competitor, for the programs it does run, it tends to run them exceptionally well. Also, its smaller market share can sometimes cause its users to feel bullied, which occasionally leads to disagreements with the more dominant Windows. Asian nations are like Linux. While it is powerful and adaptable, it is also complicated and lacks the polish and user-friendliness of the other two OSs. While the complexity can often scare away other users, it also has great potential for future dominance, leading its users to ask \"Is the 21st century going to be the century of Asian dominance?\" Where does Canada fit in to all of this? Canada is the Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. It's like regular Windows, but better. ;-) Discuss.

Why do people in the U.S. go so utterly apeshit over taxes? We have whole political philosophies devoted to the attempt to justify the moral rightness of failing to pay one's taxes. Everything stands and falls on taxes. Decline in education, infrastructure and even growth can be partly attributed to a hatred of taxes. States like California are foundering entirely on the inability to raise taxes.

We're selfish and it is every man for himself (2) It's a kind of peculiar and witless attempt at seeking personal freedom, stemming from the rhetoric we learn surrounded the revolutionary war.

Also you must bring a change of clothes for your kid to change afterward, because the smell from the stingray's food (frozen fishes & shrimps) smell HORRIBLE.

My daily diet is made of 5 meals (+1 post-workout meal on lifting days): 120g of carbs, in the first two meals of the day. 200-250g of protein from pretty healthy sources (think chicken breasts, turkey breasts, tuna, and 90%+ lean beef/pork and protein powder). 70g of fat, from sources such as walnuts, almonds, PB, stick cheese and others. As far as I can tell, this all adds up to about 2400 cal on non-lifting days and 2800cal on lifting days, which is still about 500cal below my needs according to some calculators. I actually skip the 5th meal sometimes, simply because I can't fit that much chicken in me right before bed, so make that 2000ish on some days.

I have read articles on the issue and the trans community itself seems to be split on what should be done. On the one hand, disclosing to someone up-front is considered by some to be the \"honest\" thing to do, especially when dealing with a potential love interest. It helps to weed out the trans-phobic and bigoted types and helps take a burden of one's shoulders. However, you can pigeon-hole yourself fairly easily with this approach and your trans history quickly becomes common knowledge and people you know WILL find out, and in all likelihood treat you in a disrespectful way. On the other hand, deep stealth has its allure. You are a woman/man, you live as a woman/man, and people have no reason to treat you differently. If you are particularly passable, casual dating with your preferred gender becomes much more simple and easy. If you have had sexual reassignment surgery, your sex life may even be unaffected by you history. You can live how you deserve to live, without having to fight the little battles and insecurities that can come with being openly trans in our relatively intolerant world. However, there is also a platter of issues that arise from this choice. For one, you will always wonder if someone, in some way will discover your personal history and out you to everyone. It becomes your worst fear if you have created a life of complete stealth, and it can jeopardize relationships and careers. You could also be put in a position of physical harm or even death, and there is a stigma within the some of the trans community that this is inherently a \"dishonest\" way of living.

But eventually the amount of code grows and grows, and working with one file becomes cumbersome. So then you move to phase two: having several files sitting in the same directory. All you have to do is *import* the files you need! svn_trunk +- mainfile.py +- helperfile.py +- and so on... Eventually you end up with a directory containing 100 Python files, and so you need to move on to phase three: putting some of those files in packages. svn_trunk +- mainfile.py +- usefulfile.py +- helperpackage +- __init__.py +- helper1.py +- helper2.py Things are good for a while, but then phase four comes when you realize that you really need to write another new program to solve some other related problem.

Many of her geeky friends had watched the whole six movies though and so—like the birds and the bees—we knew she would soon hear about who Darth Vader really was from her peers and we wanted to be the ones to tell her so she would learn about it the right way-- watching the series like we saw it: 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3—not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So we told her that “Empire” was the Star Wars with all the secrets to Star Wars revealed and she was really into it. Totally shocked when Vader told Luke he was his father. Worked through the logic that if Luke was the son of Anakin and if Luke was the son of Vader, then Anakin must also be Vader. She even figured out at the end that if Luke was powerful in the force because of who his father was, and if Yoda said there was another, and if Luke reached out to Leia through the force, then Leia must be powerful too, and maybe they were in the same family, maybe they were actually brother and sister, and maybe Luke was a secretly a Prince from Alderaan!!!

We are now going into our second year of college. Despite apprehension on his part, we tried the long distance thing last year. It didn't go well, understandably considering he's not the most communicative by nature, and we study at opposite ends of the US. It came to the point where at the beginning of the summer, I impulsively broke up with him out of frustration from lack of contact. We got back together and decided to see how the summer went [we are in the same city for now]. It has gone very well, however come September I fear it's gonna be the same old story. After extensive ruminating and mulling it over, I think I've come up with something that could work for us. I am confident that we could work together very well if the circumstances were in our favor, but they aren't. In addition, I feel that we both need some time to grow and discover ourselves apart from each other. My idea is to propose that we table our relationship, until such a time as it is viable/the circumstances are better/more in our control. Right now, no matter what, we can't be together properly. So, I want to say to him, let's table it and revisit it again at the end of college, if it's still something we want when we can actually make it happen. What do you think? Is that insane and selfish of me, or does it make sense? From a guy's perspective, does it sound utterly mad? TL;DR: Boyfriend from high school, going into our second year of college. Studying at opposite ends of the states. I want to say to him: \"I want to be with you, but we need to be realistic and see that long distance doesn't work for us. So we could table our relationship, while we are in college. Not give up, just recognize it's a bad time, and revisit it later, when we have more control.\" Is that reasonable, or selfish and crazy?", "label": 1, "domain": "social", "token_count": 440, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}

Oh and by the way, this slowness doesn't just end with the initial setup of your site. It also extends to running the site. If more than two people try to access it at the same time, your site will buckle. This sounds terrible doesn't it? Sounds like the thing you should call or chat with tech support about. The problem is tech support will never say the site is running slowly. No matter how long it takes for a page to load, they will tell you it's running just fine. Maybe they have their wires crossed on their end, but you'll never hear from them if the site is running slowly.

+{"id": "frustration_test_pos_0145", "text": "I've been working for an SAT prep company for awhile now, and I sometimes wonder if what I'm doing is slightly immoral. First of all, many of my students come from wealthy families and attend private schools. Nearly all of them are weaker students, and thus really do benefit from the course. So what of the slower students who don't have the kind of money to enroll in my classes? For instance, let's take the famous twin paradox but change it slightly. Say I have Twin A and Twin B, and for reasons unknown they grow up separately but are equally intelligent. Twins A and B would both receive 1500 on the SAT unaided, but because Twin A's adoptive family is wealthier, Twin A takes a class and receives a 1600. The Twins apply to the same school, and Twin A gets in while Twin B does not. The only difference here is a three-month course and some expendable cash. Second of all, am I really helping these students in the long run? If colleges operate on the assumption that standardized testing is really standardized, then am I helping students enter institutions that have workloads they can't handle? Am I helping them go to colleges that will only leave them confused and exasperated? I believe this is pretty different from a licensed educator choosing a rich neighborhood to teach in, since the purpose of SAT prep is to give students a leg-up on the competition, and not really teach them anything new or impart knowledge on them. In this sense I find SAT \"teaching\" to be intrinsically educationally vacuous. I realize that this is not a black-and-white problem, and that the economic inequality question can be applied to poor and rich neighborhoods everywhere, not just SAT prep. But I can't help but feel that I am guilty of perpetuating an economic opportunity gap. I'm not looking for validation or anything, but I am genuinely curious if any other instructors out there have pondered the same moral dilemma, and if there are any other viewpoints, arguments, or interpretations that I haven't considered.

It reminds me very much of Mystic Cave Zone from Sonic 2, especially the step-down that occurs 0:45 - 0:47.

So much so that the student was allowed to come over his house to work on cars (he restores old vehicles, and many other students came to help just because). * He told me that the family of this student was abusing her. That they were opening her windows every night in the dead of winter, and that they weren't' feeding her breakfast or lunch. He did the right thing, and called social services. * Two days later, out of revenge the mother of said student came and reported to the school that the librarian was having an inappropriate relationship with her daughter. **Note** *This librarian was personally responsible for regenerating a dead theater group at my school. Without him it would not have lived. He gave much blood and sweat to make it happen. He's a very good person. That's why students would come over and help him out, just because he's such a great guy.* Right now the county he works in is pending firing him, it happened months ago. I just want to help him anyway I can. He told me the worst part was that if he hadn't reported the situation to social service he could have had his teaching certification taken away.

Everything seemed normal in terms of relationship progression: we went out, did activities together, and were sexual. A few months into dating, we had a conversation about making things official. I told him I wanted to be his girlfriend and he said he wanted to be my boyfriend. I was pleased, and we fell asleep. A few months after the conversation, I began to feel frustrated because I didn't think he was being affectionate or \"boyfriendy\" enough to me, so I brought it up in a conversation one day. It became clear that his memory of our conversation that night was that neither of us had made any commitment about whether or not we wanted to be official. He told me that he felt he was too busy to commit to a relationship right now and just wanted to be friends. We're both grad students and are both busy, so I understand where he's coming from, but like I said we're *both* busy. I don't think I've been that demanding of his time or attention, so I don't think he was feeling smothered or anything. What's weird to me, though, is that in the past few months, nothing has really changed between us. We see each other for several days a week, stay over at each other's places on average two nights a week, have sex, do activities together, hang out with each other's friends, etc. For all intents and purposes, we're still in a relationship, just minus the official title. As far as I know, he's not dating anyone else nor is he looking to date anyone else, but I could be wrong.

The reason why you (should) get searched by only people of the same gender is to avoid any sexual motives for the full body search. I am sure no guard would try to fondle someone he/she is \"searching\" but it isn't just to prevent unwanted sexual harassment, it is also that you do not want to expose yourself to someone who might derive any sexual pleasure from seeing you. The easiest way to do this (in the old world) was to just say; guys only like girls, and girls only like guys, so guy can only search guys and girls can only search girls. We no longer live in a world where \"guys only like girls, and girls only like guys\" is a valid assumption. What should we do now? Problems; * A straight man would probably not want to be searched by a gay man. A woman might just refused to be searched by any man (if he is gay or not), because she doesn't know him and she isn't sure about his sexuality. * What about people who are bi? * Trans people? Possible solutions; 1. Have security guards screened for their sexuality and only let them search people who are comfortable being searched by someone with that gender and sexuality. *(This in my opinion is a terrible idea since it forces people to state their sexuality to their employer.)* 2. Just be quiet about it and institute a \"don't ask don't tell policy\" where the punishment for telling is just that you are no longer allowed to do any body searches. After all, what the person being searched doesn't know wont harm him/her. *(again, I don't like this idea because it seems dishonest)* 3.

She was too proud to admit that she was wrong or even look at the sign. She just kept saying that I should watch out or I would get my \"ass run over\".

I'm sure you all get frustrated at the power inequality between cars and bikes on the roads, so my new proposal for deterring cars from buzzing cyclists is: Stand in front of the car with your bike for up to 5 minutes... a la car blockers at Critical Mass. This is an obviously controversial tactic so here are some initial thoughts... 1. Non-violent protest is better than impotent rage, or potent smashing in windows with U-locks. 2. There must be repercussions for drivers who feel it is their right to teach you a lesson with near death experiences. This is a long-term strategy for making it known that buzzing cyclists is not good for anyone. 3. They are probably in a hurry, so this is a sufficient punishment. 4. Its important that your are at a populated intersection for your own safety. 5. This allows a chance for the police to get involved in a reckless driving incident. 6. When driving my car on the expressways I used a similar technique of removing my foot from gas pedal (but not braking) to shake tailgaters. At 50mph they were pissed, at 40 mph they moved. Always good results. 7. I am aware that non-violent protest doesn't always work out for the protesters. I open the submission to discussion.

Unmedicated, I can take to my bed for weeks at a time. Anyway, cannabis has been a great thing for me. I cannot believe how much fun I am having, and the annoyances from depression that make it hard to do things (like \"I don't want to listen to the vacuum\" or \"I don't want to have to look up an address\") become trivial and easy to ignore. I just do things. The other day, I saw that the floor was messy while high, and just decided it would be good to mop. I usually put off mopping 3 days or so. I also spend more time with my family and enjoy things more. I usually never watch TV or movies with my family, but I've done it several times this week. I'm no longer a closed off recluse at home. Anyway, if an SSRI or amphetamine from my psych did this, I would so be telling my mom about how great I felt, and how wonderful it was that medicine came up with something for me that finally works against the diseases that cause me to feel so awful. And she would tell me how I've been, and if my impressions of how the drug worked were correct, which would be really valuable to me. However, she's given me a lot of talks on how \"pot\" is not okay, and that it makes people unmotivated and lazy. She's pro-legalization as a liberal, but mainly just because she doesn't like paying for the drug war. She doesn't think people should smoke, but she doesn't think they should go to jail over it or get fined, either. She's skeptical of MMJ, but I get the feeling if I were in a state that offered it and my psych wanted to try it, she would let me. So, anyone else really feel like it'd be great to talk to their (non-cool) parents about how they use cannabis and the experiences they've had with it?

Their behavior is more a product of law than anything else. But laws are not immutable. It is the responsibility of governments and hence the voting public to alter the law if it doesn't serve the public good. If corporations are doing terrible, reprehensible things in the world, then governments and the public are complicit by turning a blind eye while we reap the benefits. The public may be slightly less guilty because we are deliberately deceived. But governments carry extra guilt in my mind because they have, in some ways, engineered the immoral situation we find ourselves in. They know that in certain resource-rich but otherwise poor countries, lawlessness, disorder and corruption (with the resulting human cost) allow the multi-nationals to operate at ultra-low cost and supply us with all our cheap stuff. We've gone so far down the path of exploiting poor counties that to do the right thing now would ruin western economies. It doesn't just mean we'd have fewer SUVs and LCD TVs, the world economy would contract and we'd have less of everything. Less food because of higher transportation costs, fewer social services because tax revenue would be down, fewer advanced health care procedures and treatments because they would be too expensive to support, certain business models would cease being economically viable, many products and services would disappear, as well as many many jobs. No western government is going to invite this on themselves so they do nothing, or worse, maybe they do things to perpetuate disorder and impede real development in poor countries to preserve the status quo. I'm not saying we can't change things for the better, and I'm not absolving corporations of their evil deeds, but I put a lot of the blame on governments.

As soon as the installation was finished, I was getting weird ata messages at the console every 10 seconds. Since I was always in X and that it didn't seem to affect the rest of the system, I just ignored it. I then tried to configure my wireless card, a Ralink RT3090. The driver is available only in Linux 2.6.32; Karmic ships with 2.6.31. Doh! Fortunately, I found a PPA repository with the driver. The installation worked flawlessly and I was quickly able to connect to my network with wicd. Fast forward a month and a half, I perform an `apt-get upgrade` and I see that the rt3090-dkms package has been updated. I reboot my laptop and as soon as wicd tries to connect to my network, kernel panic. (wicd wasn't updated.) I tried reverting to the old package version, but it wouldn't install because the module couldn't be built against the kernel (which had a couple of packaging updates). I talked with the developers of wicd and with the maintainer of the rt3090-dkms package and neither party knew why this happened or how I could fix it. Being fed up with not being to use my wireless card, I installed Arch this weekend. The kernel that was installed was 2.6.32 and my wireless card was (almost) instantly usable. I installed wicd and in 3 seconds I was connected and my kernel was still humming happily. Bonus points, I don't have the ata errors anymore either.

It is the only metaphysical position which stands up to scientific, logical scrutiny. An atheist, most succintly (and precisely) defined, is one without belief in gods. An atheist does not necessarily assert that no gods exists, although it is sufficient (while simultaneously illogical) to do so. He may assert that particular gods do not exist, and can prove these assertions by demonstrating the logical paradoxes they create (e.g. the problem of evil w/r/t the Judeo-Christian diety). I have argued with theists that faith is not an acceptable source of knowledge for rational, intellegent beings. To use faith as a source of knowledge is foolish at best, and insane at worst. I continue to assert this position. I have also argued with those who identify themselves as 'agnostics'. Agnostics claim they cannot know if god does exists, and so they withhold a commitment to the theist/atheist question. My argument to them is that they have in fact chosen a side, and that they are atheists. They lack belief in god. That is, as previously noted, the very definition of an atheist. I further argue that 'agnostics' are just as foolish and insane as the theist. An agnostic claims they cannot know if god exists, or more foolishly, that god's existence is unknowable by anyone. The agnostic claims knowledge they do not have (what a god might be able to do to prove its existance, or what other people can know), on a topic that cannot be proven (that something is unknowable). This is the case of trying to prove a negative: logically impossible. Therefore the self-proclaimed 'agnostic', who denies that faith is knowledge of god's existence, uses faith to under-gird their chosen unprovable assertion. The agnostic, then, is a faith-believer just the same as the theist, and equally deplorable. Agnostics... consider this. Realize the absurdity of your position, and deny faith as a source of knowledge. Knowledge, whether epistemological or metaphysical, is nourished from the same well-spring of evidence and reason.", "label": 1, "domain": "social", "token_count": 460, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}

It was like a morbid guilt for having suicidal thoughts, because they are so not-okay. I felt like I was perverse and just not right for having these suicidal thoughts before. Last night I just kind of walked away from the computer and felt better, they came back a little bit but I was okay. Now today I got them again, maybe 10 minutes ago and they aren't fully over right now. Today I baited myself in this state, I asked myself if I was worth living and I felt sub-human without any real rationalization for feeling that other than feeling suicidal before. Right now I feel so awful for having had suicidal thoughts. The suicidal thoughts seem less like a progression due to events/feelings and more like, I don't know, something else. When I get the morbid guilt thoughts as I can describe them, my forehead feels like it is burning. And it's traumatic afterward, not that I am quite there yet. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Any guidance on what to do? I don't want them happening often. Also, these happen when my sinuses are acting up a lot, not like a runny nose but head aches/dizziness/pressure. Anyone heard of a connection? I hope I calm down soon.", "label": 1, "domain": "social", "token_count": 380, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}

He didn't say the man was a criminal, doing drugs, cheating on his wife, beating his kids, or anything like that.

He concluded by stating, to paraphrase, that \"that's how Satan works, he makes you not go to church. If you just go to church you wont have that problem (which would be not going to church).\" Then he rambled on about how the only thing better than being saved yourself is \"bringing someone else to christ\" and how happy it made him to \"witness\" to people (I do not know what that means but it sounds awkward).

+{"id": "frustration_test_pos_0254", "text": "Most of the subscribers here moderate somewhat popular reddits; presumably, you're all familiar with the mod queue. However, you may not be aware of the way the spam filter was intended to be used. When spammers post spam, you remove their posts. This teaches the filter to pay closer attention to those users. If their new posts are very similar to their previously removed posts, the filter soon learns to remove those posts automatically. You have \"trained\" the filter to remove the spam. If you ban the user, many persistent users will just create new accounts, and you will have to once again train the filter to recognize and remove the posts from the new user. To avoid that, the admins have recommended in the past to simply let the filter continue to remove their posts silently; they never know about it, and you don't have to do anything. It's like your own little \"shadow ban\" within your own reddit. This works well, up to a point. However, on larger or more active reddits, the more egregious spammers may post dozens of spam posts a day. This quickly fills up the mod queue with entries that you know are just going to be confirmed. Problem is, until you eventually memorize the names of the serial offenders, it's time consuming to examine each entry to see if it's one of the people that you previously decided was a bad actor. If the mod queue has too much stuff in it, it gets overwhelming, and if there aren't enough determined and committed moderators, it can fall behind, leaving the few false positives to languish, buried amongst the flood of spammers. So I'd like to start a discussion about ways to handle this issue. How do y'all deal with it now? What steps can be taken to make this problem more tractable? One idea would be to have the filter apply a custom style to \"repeat offenders\", similar to the pale red used for shadow-bans. Another would be to have a separate \"mod queue ignore list\", that a mod can add serial offenders to, and the mod queue would style those differently. Worst case, the mod queue could just tag each entry with \"class=username\", so you could use your own bookmarklets to handle serial offenders.", "label": 1, "domain": "social", "token_count": 454, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}

Every other team/GM/Owner/Gary Bettman hates the Devils and will do whatever they can to ensure their failure. I sometimes fall into that group, but I don't necessarily disagree with the NHL's decision, although it seems arbitrary to me. Lots of fans are saying Bettman just hates the Devils and wants to hurt them, but thats silly. In any case: Lou Lams made some odd comments at the Kovy press conference: > Kovalchuk's cap hit will be $6 million because the contract is so long. That's a modest hit and would cause some to suggest it illustrates just what is wrong with the current collective bargaining agreement. \"I might agree,\" Lamoriello said. \"But there is nothing we have done wrong. This is within the rules. This is the CBA. There are precedents that have been set, but I would agree that we shouldn't have these.\" At first I thought maybe these comments were the justification for the NHL voiding the contract, since he basically said \"yeah I'm breaking the spirit of the CBA\" but two writers, Burnside at ESPN (Who many Devils fans legitimately think hates the Devils) and Puck Daddy at yahoo (Who is a hardcore Devils fan) think that Lou knew BEFORE the press conference that the deal was going to be voided: And of course Eklund's site has its goofy take: Supposedly this was part of a gambit on Lou's part to get Kovy's rights or permanently destroy deals of this type, so he went through with a press conference for a deal he knew would be rejected. I don't know about that. The theory is now since Kovy's not a Free agent, but officially Devils property until after 5 days pass and the NHLPA does or does not elect to fight the decision (I believe), meaning Lou has 5 days to renegotiate a contract on better terms.

Original post remains below for posterity. --- Basically, I'm doing a group project in which we are adapting current artificial sphincter technology to patients who have had colostomies. I'm trying to draw the interior of the device (which is fluid-based) in AutoCAD, but I'm terrible at it. The basic design calls for a cuff, with an external and internal reservoir. When water goes into the internal reservoir, it occludes the center of the cuff, thus keeping stool within the colon. When the patient needs to eliminate waste, he or she presses on a bladder which causes the fluid to flow from the inside of the cuff to the outside, relieving pressure off of the colon and allowing the patient to elliminate waste. When the patient is done, he or she merely allows the interior cuff to refill, as the interior material is more elastic than the outside, and thus the fluid is forced through a high-resistance element into the interior cuff. I've got a mockup of approximately what I want the exterior to look like, and a concept drawing of the interior components. Let me know if the notes on the plan are totally unreadable.

They didn't have the Pumking beer from Southern Tier I was looking for last time I was there though...Booooo (no Halloween pun intended...or was it?)\\n\\nIf you're really in to your wine...Frugals is hit or miss...it's not exactly a place to go discuss the nose and finish of your favorite Cabernet. The best part about the place is that it's across the state line...and we know we'd rather purchase booze in SC than in NC. The prices aren't coupon quality...but they're not horrible either.\\n\\nTry: Those buckets you fill with liquor...yes...the ones you've always rolled your eyes at. You will be surprised at how convenient they are to stick in the freezer at the beach.\\n\\nAvoid: Urinating on the side of the building. I mean really...what the hell dude!", "label": 1, "domain": "review", "token_count": 314, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}

Today there was a long wait at the cutting table, which was (at first) staffed by three different people. The little number-giving-out machine was empty, so we all just stood in an orderly line. One of the women at the cutting table left right after I got there (there were five of us in line then) saying that she was already late for her break. I didn't like to see her go, but I understood about the break thing (sometimes you *really* need your break, and sometimes your manager *really* wants you to take your break at the scheduled time). \\n\\nIt took a long time to get my stuff cut because one women kept cutting but the other one was helping a customer track down some numbers on a fabric. If I was that customer I'd have been thrilled at that level of service. \\n\\nSo I finally got my stuff cut. The woman cutting it was very efficient (but I think a little rattled from being so busy) and admired my choice of fabric (hey, I love to be validated). \\n\\nI went up front and stood in line some more. There were, unusually, three different people working the registers. The woman who checked me out was mellow and chatty and also admired my fabric (I'm starting to think it's not my great taste but some new policy). \\n\\nSo not a great visit but not the worst, either.", "label": 1, "domain": "review", "token_count": 307, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}
+{"id": "frustration_test_pos_0293", "text": "I used to walk past this place all the time for the last 3 years and finally had the opportunity to come here with my boyfriend. We were craving pho, and normally we go to Cravings for that but he had come here with his boss and swore it was better here. Noting the couple in front of us eating the beef version of pho I got excited. We ordered the seafood pho.\\n\\nWhen it came I noticed there was something immediately wrong: the noodles looked suspiciously like Top Ramen egg noodles instead of rice noodles but I dug in cos I was so hungry. My boyfriend was a little annoyed since he had gotten something completely different. It also had no garnish (bean sprouts, basil), no lime, and there was no oil that normally comes in the soup. \\n\\nWhen we inquired the lack of garnish or lime, we were informed by a very nervous waitress that our pho was \\\"special\\\". We then asked for srirarcha (sp?) and got a tiny dollop of it. All in all we paid $16 for beef Top Ramen with seafood floating in it. It was very salty and unpleasant. I felt disgusted that I actually ate half since I was so hungry.\\n\\nMultiple theories as to why we were treated this way. The couple in front of us had the beef pho and it had the garnish and the lime/oil and rice noodles.\\n\\n1) We didn't look Asian enough: I'm Filipino Italian (look at my profile picture) and my boy is Filipino but could pass for Latino sometimes. They were too cheap to serve us the real thing or thought they could get away with serving us the ramen since we \\\"didn't know any better anyway\\\".\\n\\n2) They were out of ingredients and were too lazy to bother telling us and offer alternatives or a refund.\\n\\n3) A combination of number 1 and 2.\\n\\nI guess it serves us right for going into a Chinese restaurant for pho but Cravings serves multiple Asian dishes as well and they got it right. What made us the most angry is the fact that the Asian couple in front of us got exactly what they wanted and we left unsatisfied. My boy swears he got good soup there but his boss is more Asian looking and could be the reason why they got it right.

First clue: no Happy Hour promos mentioned in the bar except for the Yeungs and Wings (which was not what we were looking for). We came close to leaving as my beer was off the draft list, but we decided to stay and were disappointed that my daughter's choice was already gone although still ilsted. The food was awful, the service worse. Maybe a busser should clean the table after removing the dirty dishes--our table was a sticky mess. The service: one beer to the table at a time. Next round I saw two beers go to a three-top, removed and sent to the bar, poured out and the glasses refilled and brought to us. Someone else's food was brought to our table, our fries came out --lukewarm---but our wing order never went in. So we got our garlic parm wings which tasted like old overcooked chicken and was way too crispy and greasy for my taste. We ate two each, then told the server we didn't want them. She offered to take them off, but we told her that wasn't necessary, so they took off 1/2 the price as a Customer service gesture. Still, we had a Happy Hour bill for 1/2 eaten fries, barely touched wings, and 6 drafts total of $45 at a dirty table. At least the place was quiet--there were empty tables everywhere. I think we're done here.", "label": 1, "domain": "review", "token_count": 321, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}
+{"id": "frustration_test_pos_0296", "text": "It's been a minute since I lived in Pittsburgh, but I frequently return to attend events and visit close friends from school and work. I think Pittsburgh has absolutely wonderful food, and I truly became entranced with the culinary scene while attending Carnegie Mellon and checking out local fare. Luckily for us CMU kids, Shadyside was a hop, skip, and a jump away. Therefore, it was naturally the perfect neighborhood to dine and shop.\\n\\nI had the opportunity to attend two group birthday dinners at Girasole. Both times the food was authentic. The place itself is very small and intimate, so it has a very nice, cozy, if not bordering on claustrophobic feel. That is not the impetus for my review. Both times I have dined here, the customer service was intolerable. A moment that I will never forget in all my life was at my birthday dinner, when the waitress came to our table as we were about to leave, and said to our group, (my friends who had graciously paid for my dinner) \\\"why is the tip so low? What was wrong with my service?\\\" My friends had left this woman at least a 15% tip. I will never forget this publicly humiliating moment for the rest of my life. This should serve as a reminder and a stark warning for all who work in customer service (as I have myself) that you should never, ever do something as atrocious as what this waitress did. There were so many alternatives to how she or the restaurant itself could have approached this, but I truly believe she acted in the least responsible, most alarming manner I have yet to see from anyone who holds a job. That is the prime reason why I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.", "label": 1, "domain": "review", "token_count": 360, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}
+{"id": "frustration_test_pos_0297", "text": "Hey everyone, I am a senior at a pretty big university and getting close to graduation, as it stands now I have two offers for full time employment. The first being at a big company doing client application development (Java, J2ee, SAP, etc) the other is working for the university (I currently work as a student developer and am being offered to stay on full time) doing .NET web development (ASP.NET, Silverlight, MVC, etc) Here are some pros/cons for each company that I can think of: Big company: pros: advancement, great training programs, structured application development, adds more diverse experience to my background cons: less pay, no continued education college job: pros: what I've been doing for the past year, laid back environment, higher pay, free higher education cons: less structured, development can get messy between people (no coding standards etc), stuck at same level until i move on or retire, and about the same pay I love my current job because it is very laid back, the people are great, and i enjoy working with .Net. At the moment I am leaning towards the big company because I want to be able to advance and become a project manager or lead developer at some point and also because I want the professional development experience of working with coding standards and all that jazz. What I would like to know from you guys is what your experience has been like working with a large software developer and if you've enjoyed it or just simply what advice you could give and what your thoughts are on my situation. Thanks! EDIT: Wow, thanks for all of the insight guys. I am having a tough time with this decision, I am leaning towards the corporate job for a few reasons, mainly I want to diversify my skills, secondly I would like the big name on my resume, also the job comes with an easy-out for moving out of this terrible state (MI) after 2-3 years so that is encouraging, I want to be here for a few more years but then I want out.", "label": 1, "domain": "social", "token_count": 417, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"}
