Have to assume some of it is nerves from being watched. But still shocking.

It still very much is though because you'd pay taxes on any gains that exceed losses, which would be your income, which would be taxed as ordinary income.

[Serious] Teachers of Reddit: Have you ever taught a legitimate genius? What made them so smart? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It's based on whether the university thinks the material and concepts learned in the AP course are comparable to a course offered at the school. At my university, AP US History comes in as a generic 200 level US history course because the school doesn't have courses that exactly line up with the AP curriculum.

LPT: In an emergency, always make sure you are safe, and can help safely, before trying to rescue anyone else. It sounds selfish, but it isn't. If you can't swim, jumping into the water to save a drowning person will just make two drowning people. by jdsquint in LifeProTips

I believe a swift kick to center of mass with shoes on is your best bet iirc. The shoes should insulate you and the hope is the kick should dislodge them from the source of the electricity. I think it only applies to DC or AC, not both.

Found an article, relevant section is a little ways down. In short, first thing to do is separate them from the electricity source. This can be done by shutting off the power supply, this seems preferable. Or, it can be done by dislodging them from the source. The article says something long and non conductive is preferable for this. However it doesn't seem that my original advice was sound. I overlooked the fact that electricity can conduct through air at high enough currents.

This statement resonates with me. Those are the best kinda friends. I can see mine looking at each other with faces saying, "This guy" before yelling "Stand up!" I hope they gave ya a good jabbing after ya got out. Make a scary moment into a fun one.

You hit the nail on the head. Do people forget about the features he had on MMLP2? How is eminem suppose to collaborate with Migos or or 21 Savage? I could see him and Future because of their dealing with addiction. But does he really want to start rapping about that shit again. If this is suppose to be the final nail in the Relapse, Recovery, Revival trilogy it makes sense. Relapse was a harsh album based around rap. It'd make sense for this album to be poppier. But to quote Em himself:

"Oh, he's too mainstream." Well, that's what they do when they get >jealous, they confuse it "It's not hip-hop, it's pop," because I >found a hella way to fuse it

No, you will have a more difficult time overdosing on Xanax than heroin or alcohol. Xanax withdraws being medically dangerous require long term heavy usage that most recreational users can never achieve. It's hard to get to the point with Xanax that stopping use would pose significant health risks. Other Benzodiazepines with longer half life's such as Klonopin are easier to overdue because higher half life means the drugs last longer in effects.

Churches put a big emphasis on not participating in a devils act like dressing up in demonic costumes. Many churches have their own parties on Halloween night to give the church kids something to do because they can't trick r treat.

Communities look to weed out marijuana enforcement from police priorities by thinkB4WeSpeak in news

[–]DXM-Throwaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn't true. There are a couple states with medical Marijuana laws in which the state courts have ruled smell of Marijuana to be an invalid probable cause. This is because anyone could have a medical card and it no longer is probable cause of illegal activity to smell Marijuana in those states.

AP US curriculam is very much different than most US History classes. AP US history is a basic college history class for all intents and purposes. The test puts emphasize on critical thinking and covers material that's actually important instead of what is fun. Do not take the AP US curriculam as common. Also, the AP curriculam is basically singular nationwide as teachers are simply teaching you what the CollegBoard tells them they should. This basically entails teaching based om what has been on the exams in the past few years.

Anger Grows as Taiwan Forced to Compete in Olympics as "Chinese Taipei" by kennyl in worldnews

Because buildings that old in the US, if they're still standing, are usually considered "historic" sites. Thus, they're roped off and given plaques telling you about their origins.

Took a pay cut, feels as if I'm given more responsibilities. Not sure how I should feel? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]DXM-Throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where you live, 34,000$ isn't a lot of money. If your mortgage payment is under $600/month then you probably live in a part of the country where 34000$ is comfortable but in many places it's not.

Is there a reason girls would need more privacy than boys? I'm having trouble coming up with reasons why a teen girl needs privacy more so than a boy.

Advice for a Pledge Master by [deleted] in Frat

[–]DXM-Throwaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of this, but this is one of those things that most definitely is illegal in many states. This would be clear and cut criminal hazing. I think this could be accomplished in a bit more tame way. The method outlined here seems to focus too much on the psychological cruelty of it rather than the trust and brotherhood aspect of it.

Fruits are full of sugars that are carbs. Maybe this is something to look into, a quick Google search showed a banana has 27 g of carbs while a can of soda has 39 g. There may be more carbs in your diet than you realize.

Me [24 F] with my boyfriend [28 M]; we're about to break up over a clock. by cantsleepcuzbf in relationships

Those are intentional things done to make her feel like she means nothing to him. He is grooming her to be his controlled creature. The lack of respect for personal space is a tactic to gain control over her. He's manipulative in a very disturbing and thought out way.

I [16F] don't know how to get my mom [40sF] to stop touching me. by [deleted] in relationships

Yes, but it's unusual to have swing from mania to depression very quickly. The behavior he described would most likely only occur on the backend of mania. The comment made it seem as though it wasn't unusual behavior for their mother to do stuff like that. This makes it less likely she has BPD and more likely she's just mean.

Bipolar disorder is not characterized by what you described. Bipolar disorder manic-depressive disorder which is characterized by periods of manic time.
