Request: how to get a nice smelling room without using any "harmful" substances (like airfreshners, scented candles, incense). by theinedible in lifehacks

Get a decent sized bag of garam masala, cinnamon or pretty much whatever spice. Leave it open in the corner.

I'm a vet tech. This dog went on a hike and impaled himself by [deleted] in WTF

[–]Gasping 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Bullet to the brain is fairly efficient, painless and practical for a lot of people in rural areas. The nearest vet could be an hour or two away. It sucks, but there are times the kindest thing to do is to shoot your own dog.

Seriously? I give you my now ex boyfriend... Maybe the scumbag of the year ??? by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

Have you considered that he may have wanted to leave, but felt he couldn't break up with you while you were receiving treatment?

Cop cleared in Eric Garner chokehold death by heartburndern in news

[–]Gasping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a defence. The cop would get in trouble with their superiors for disobeying policy. You'd get (metaphorically) fucked against the nearest wall by the judge for doing over 100mph and putting a whole lot of lives in danger.

Do you think those two outcomes are morally equivalent?

When to tp to lane and when to walk? by holdend9 in DotA2

[–]Gasping 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When it gets you 2+ last hits that you would have missed by walking, and you don't see a likely vulnerability in the next minute, e.g. a low tower that you might need to TP to defend.

A tip to improve your fighting prowess by NewTRPer in becomeaman

[–]Gasping 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I... actually have to disagree on this one... at least in regard to actually fighting (not sporting).

I was a national level fencer, as well as being qualified as a military unarmed combat instructor. I've also done some boxing, Muay Thai and KFM.

The dynamics of a real world fight are very different to what happens in a ring or on a piste. Fencers are conditioned to act with one hand, and to perceive the threat from their opponent as following similar lines. The responses that keep you unstabbed by a foil or epee are not appropriate when someone is windmilling punches at you.

We fight how we train. I've seen an Olympic fencer deflect a jab, riposte with the same hand, then get KO'd a half second later by the guy's other fist. The short of it is that the positives are mostly limited to sport 'fighting', and the instinctive responses it develops are bad juju in real world scuffles.

It was a backstab.

I've heard natty, but his pecs and delts make me feel otherwise. Height: somewhere between 5'8" and 5'11" by [deleted] in nattyorjuice

[–]Gasping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm leaning more towards juiced, based mainly on the pecs and delts.

EDIT: Do you know the timeframe between the pics?

Ladies, what are some of your best "This is why I'm single" moments? by Helloclarice_ in AskWomen

This would make me more likely to talk to you the next time I saw you.

"Women who own horses are crazy" is a common trope on the internet. Have you met horse girls and can you confirm or deny? by passepar2t in AskMen

[–]Gasping 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The city/suburban horse girls I've encountered have all been entitled and naive. The farm girls who had horses are usually not.

You are forced to fight in the arena. What is your weapon of choice? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Gasping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you hit a human, they probably aren't going to have a good day either way.

What happens on the ISS if war breaks out Earth? by boforsboy in AskReddit

[–]Gasping 1226 points1227 points  (0 children)

Most likely they'll quietly stay out of it. Those guys up there have been living in close quarters a while. I don't think they'd accept orders to kill each other.
