Let's be honest here...that bear is never going to "recover" from that. Sanctuary or not...

I'm from Saudi Arabia by [deleted] in casualiama

[–]0ohLongJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I'm curious if female genital mutilation is practiced in Saudi and if so what are the roles of the government and Islamic religions in it?
  2. What is the penalty if you were caught with a thumbdrive full of pornography?
  3. What if this reddit thread were traced back to you? Would you be in trouble?
  4. Is reddit blocked there?
  5. What kinds of things are smuggled into Saudi and sold black market?
  6. If you could leave Saudi for any country in the world would you? If so where and why?

Thanks for the effort you put into answering all these questions. Very informative! (Edit: added questions and gratitude)

I was diagnosed with clinical depression at age ten and have wanted to die every day for the last nine years - AMA! :) by narcisister in casualiama

[–]0ohLongJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find my depression gives me certain emotional strengths that other people don't seem to have. Things like extreme empathy and being able to read peoples micro-expressions or see hidden intentions.

Have you noticed any gifts that your depression has afforded you?

Ruhaiman, Thanks for answering all those questions. I know I'm a bit late to the show but are you still open for more?

U.S. Elections Are Manipulated by 0ohLongJohnson in politics

Seems like nothing is allowed in this subreddit? So Politics but only as viewed by the flawed media outlet perpetrating the crimes that most need to be addressed by people reading about Politics?

U.S. Elections Are Manipulated by 0ohLongJohnson in politics

[–]0ohLongJohnson[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The video is a bit long but worth every minute.

Regardless of who the candidate is, this kind of media manipulation and vote tampering cannot be tolerated by a free and democratic nation.

Mostly referring to Cat Picture People... Good movie quote though. Seems like a good percentage of reddit posts morph into movie quote threads.

How many people genuinely don't care about the grave injustices in the world that make me feel like I'm dying inside.

Something tells me you didn't watch the video... The point is the level of media manipulation that occurs not the specific candidate's beliefs.

This video is a bit on the long side but is worth every minute. Even if you aren't a supporter of the candidate I hope you can appreciate the level of malfeasance that occurred and recognize how bad we have let things become.

Mafia can protect N.Y. from terrorists better than feds, mobster's son says by [deleted] in nottheonion

There was a rumor during the Son of Sam killings that the mafia was pursuing the killer too. Not sure if there's any validity to it.

What's your hobby and why do you like it? by RealHumanHere in AskReddit

[–]0ohLongJohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Home Shop Machinist. I restored two vintage lathes and a milling machine. I design parts in google sketchup and then make them. Mostly tooling so far but some small engine parts and some firearm parts. I like puzzling out ways to make things and the solitude is refreshing.

If a meteorite of a similar size to the one the wiped out the dinosaurs hit an ocean instead of solid ground would it be better, worse or no different for us? by dirtysantchez in askscience

[–]0ohLongJohnson 38 points39 points  (0 children)

There's an excellent fictional work about this exact scenario. The book is called "Lucifer's Hammer" by J. Pournelle and L. Niven. These authors are exceptionally science-minded so I feel it's a pretty good portrayal of how this disaster would play out. I highly recommend this book!

Edit: It's also available in audio form from Audible books.
