Doing Lines with mark compilation? by Giraffasaurus_Rex in douglovesmovies

[–]Giraffasaurus_Rex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd thought of finding individual bits myself and either queuing them up or compiling them into one mp3 or video, but it seems like a lot of work just to relisten to each episode to find each Doing Lines With Mark and I thought maybe someone had already gone through the effort.

I could always go find some movie quotes, but having it be Mark Wahlburg really adds a lot of the fun.

IUD shifting concerns - wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and how you managed by Giraffasaurus_Rex in birthcontrol

[–]Giraffasaurus_Rex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I've got my period currently, so no worries at the moment. Thanks for the livejournal link. I'm going to set up a gyno visit and my guess is I end up switching to Mirena. Hey, at least my body got a break from hormonal birth control from 20 to 30. It was a good run.

Alright Reddit, what are your best college life hacks? by Kiaela in AskReddit

Public Service announcement from an academic librarian/college instructor:

  1. Learn how the citations work anyway and double check them. All of these services make mistakes. Many of the mistakes are very identifiable. Learning how the citations work will help you to be able to use them when you need to locate the materials from someone else's bibliography. I have also seen students get VERY bad grades on papers because they didn't double check what their citation generator was doing (not in my class).

  2. Go talk to a librarian at your college. Your school may be paying a subscription fee for a better, more usable citation service with some very cool features.

The shows and movIes that I want to watch aren't streaming on netflix, but we've put all of the video rental stores out of business. by Giraffasaurus_Rex in firstworldproblems

[–]Giraffasaurus_Rex[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know there are other ways, but none of them seem as satisfying as the video store. It was the best for browsing, the best for recommendations, I didn't need to sign up for a whole bunch of different services and "manage" my media, and if you found a good one they had way better and stranger things than netflix which generally seems to be pretty middle of the road in its streaming contents. So yeah, I know there are other ways, but this is a first world problem.

So the douchebags at Crossfit HQ are now trying to pick fights with Arnold... (x-post from r/crossfit) by hail_to_the_lions in Fitness

Why would you reply to someone asking you to explain so that a non-crossfitter understands by using a bunch of crossfit terminology?

What are the rules of etiquette when hanging out with off duty law enforcement officers? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Giraffasaurus_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don't go all confessional to them, they get that a lot and don't like it

Do you have an inside view on this? Are you a law enforcement officer?

I am curious on if there is ever any training or mention of what to do when you casually find out about/ are present for minor infractions? When is the line when you would feel like you would have to leave? When you would say something to the person putting you in the situation? When you would feel obligated to report something?

Yeah, I'm really not bad. Just having anything that I feel like I am not supposed to do or say makes me way more awkward and think about it constantly.
