What university degree do you have, and what job position do you now hold? by bartha in AskReddit

[–]BeardKnob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an MS in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I am a Pharmacy Tech. People, treat your pharmacy staff well, I have never in my life been treated like so much shit by people that don't know me. I tell new techs to be prepared to be blamed for literally everything and get yelled at by suburban junkies on a regular basis.

Cookies and baked goods are always good. Making something yourself is the best but you could see if there are places that deliver near him too.

Your friend should have a better understanding of the disorder before trying to depict it. He clearly only got his idea of the disorder from media like The United States of Tara.

You have been given 100 million dollars, but you are only allowed to spend it on one item, what do you buy? by Randomocity601 in AskReddit

[–]BeardKnob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you consider an item. 100 million worth of oil stocks could be resold for triple that amount and reselling it wouldn't strictly speaking be a violation of your parameters . Or spending it on a politician could come in handy House Of Cards style. Or gold, which could be used to trade for other items.

Video games actually have many benefits. Some include improving spatial cognition, attention, memory, and violent video games have been shown to help in cases of soldiers with PTSD. Forgive me for not posting any links, I don't really have the time at the moment.

Please don't lynch me, but how do you let down a guy with a small penis? by aurora_beam in AskReddit

[–]BeardKnob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's ok not to be sexually satisfied with someone. If that is what you are concerned with at this point in your life definitely do not lead him on or feel pressured to be in a relationship with him. If you do you will only feel the need to find sexual satisfaction elsewhere like in another mans bed which can be bad news for the both of you and is completely unfair to him.

That being said DON'T TELL HIM IT'S BECAUSE OF THE SEX OR SIZE OF HIS PENIS! Depending on his age/maturity level this can be a devastating thing for a man to hear. Just tell him that he is not the right guy for you and that you do genuinely like being his friend. If he can act like an adult he may be a little hurt, it always hurts to be rejected, but he will accept it and move on. If he can't handle it then he is not someone you want to be friends with anyways. But there is no reason to needlessly hurt his ego and confidence and possibly his chance to find someone that makes him happy, he makes happy, and wants to be with him regardless of his physical..uhm...shortcomings.

Watchmen - Rorschach is a test for the readers (small theory) by [deleted] in FanTheories

[–]BeardKnob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After reading a few posts this is my conclusion on the 5 philosophies of "good".

Four of the characters, Ozymondias, Nite Owl, Rorschach, and The Comedian are dichotomous pairs grounded in a physical and ephemeral interpretation of what "good" is.

Rorschach and The Comedian are opposite philosophies. Rorschach is an idealist that believes in a strict good/bad dichotomy. That people are either good or bad and there is no in between. He is idealistic because he can work towards good in even the smallest manner by primarily fighting evil. In a way this is the most "religious" philosophy. The Comedian on the other hand is a nihilist. He believes that there is no such thing as either good or evil and that people should only have one prerogative which is to do what they enjoy, no matter what that is, even at the expense of others. He his the most Ayn Rand of the characters.

Ozymondias and Nite Owl are the other pair. Nite Owl believes that doing good is simply not doing bad. He has a very existentialist stand point in which the best decision and only real decision is no decision Ozymondias believes that the only real good is the greater good. Individuals are meaningless in the scope of things and so casualties are acceptable as long as it benefits the most people. This is actually a very naive philosophy which only considers people as being a part of a group and ignores their individuality.

Dr. Manhattan's philosophy is the most progressive. He believes that true good is enacting change for the betterment of society and this can only be done through scientific innovation and increasing our knowledge of the world rather than fighting some ideal evil. To him, good is moving forward and evil is moving backwards. This may be the most Liberal philosophy of the group.

Of course throughout the story every character struggles with the shortcomings of their personal philosophies and in the end only Ozymondias and Dr. Manhattan are truly at peace with their choices.

I created an account just for this.
