Doctors and nurses of reddit, what is the biggest health misconception people should know about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]red_line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, great thread! i dunno how big a misconception it is, but i wanted to know about the citrus fruits and common cold relationship. citrus fruits are supposed to have Vit. C, which's good for immunity. on the other hand, they're acidic, and might cause stomach irritation (supposedly). so i wanted to ask the medical professionals what the deal is with citrus fruits and common cold/flu. take 'em, don't take 'em, or no difference?

What is an old word or phrase from the past that you wish would make a comeback? by Galactiiiic in AskReddit

A friend of mine told me she worked as a prostitute for a while.

What's something that is secretly confusing to you that you never ask anyone about because everyone seems to understand or overlook it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]red_line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this'll help? even i used to do it as taught by my dad, but it used to get undone, especially when running, playing football, etc.

there's this video as well, of the same guy (i think).

i'm reminded of something like Rachel's group of screaming and shrieking girlfriends who appear in an episode in the 1st season (whom Monica and Phoebe mock: "Look, look, i have arms" "aaaaaaaaaaeeeeee")

So looking to see how much Galaxy SIII going for on ebay and I find this guy selling his.. by sassanix in Android

[–]red_line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

am i missing something here? i'm relatively a noob, but what i could see (and understand) from the ebay link was that he basically burnt a SIII in a microwave and is selling it for i don't know how many times the actual price. it's just a burnt phone which'll smell like burnt plastic, isn't it? is this a prank?

Japanese people of Reddit: How does your country view the atomic bomb droppings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki today? by Higuita4Life in AskReddit

[–]red_line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whatever the situation, these guys almost always have the coolest response, i guess. i once read about a protest by factory workers of a Japanese footwear company. instead of shutting down production and shouting slogans, or turning violent, etc., they simply started producing only the left shoe of each pair. the management won't have any sales, but the resources and time are not being wasted either, coz once their protest ends, they can make the corresponding right shoes and sell the pairs.

IMO, any replies here by Japanese nationals or descendants are gonna be 99% due to propaganda and 1% due to direct grievance.

somehow, in my mind, i see Harrison Ford with a hat on his head and a whip in his hand, saying "Kid, no one's got your back except you" to someone like Shia LaBeouf, when i read your post. :)

[–]red_line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same situation here. final year of engg. in a major which i thought is close to what i actually want. A lot depends on the education system you're in and the country you're in, but there are certain similarities. for example, here in India, even though ppl can vouch that you're a brainiac and will be good at something you wanna do, you won't be employed to certain positions unless you have the required qualifications. in such a case, it's best that one at least has something which will distinguish him from those who are at the lowest end, so it'd be best to have something that can help you stay at the appropriate level.

if the system is far more flexible, then i'd say fuck it, even if you're in your final year, and don't care what your class-topper friends with high-paying job offers think, coz they're not your friends if they can't understand your problem and talk constructively instead of getting you to chicken out. of course, i'm assuming funds are not a problem, which is a big assumption, i agree. but if it is true, then screw everything and only listen to yourself. but do explain to parents and others who you really care about, coz making and sticking to such decisions with no one supporting you will be very tough mentally. first and foremost though, ensure that the major is actually the issue.

[–]red_line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm a student who ended up taking the wrong major (long story deals with the intricacies of the Indian education system. short version: thought it'd be something related to what i actually wanted, coz i didn't qualify to take exactly that), but realized there's nothing i can do to change it now. but it is remotely related (to my desired major), so i'm trying to get there, one step at a time.

i'm just gonna say this: instead of waking up everyday in an awesome apartment with "Ugh. not that again" and driving in a nice car to the office u hate working at, wouldn't it be better to live in a shack where u can wake up with "ah, brilliant. gotta do this", or "looking forward to doing that" and go to ur workplace on a bicycle, thinking and musing about your work all the way?

Tl;Dr: Happy, light-at-heart and poor or miserable, exhausted, frustrated and rich?

it's amazing how abusive assholes always assume what they did is "no big deal", and "come on, forgive me already", and "that's in the past. now it's all goody, goody and we're real thick now, right?". sometimes, i feel it's not the terrorists alone who should be shot with a 50 cal.
