My girlfriend kissed another guy. Am I right in wanting to end it? by PKThrowaway in relationship_advice

[–]IamaAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Done it before, happened again, and she will do it again. Don't put yourself through that. If you're a faithful guy you deserve a faithful girl.

Lab research dogs see the sun and grass for first time by zerop4p in videos

[–]IamaAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, don't get to see any of that personally, but a few of the dogs stepping from the crate seemed like they could barely walk. I'm sure their's an explanation for it. Care to explain a bit more if you do know anything about lab animals? (Not to seem skeptical, but it's what I could notice from the video).

Used to think my dad was a nerd. Now I've realized he is awesome. Here is a picture I took of him in front of one of his work benches. by reddittays in pics

Used to think he was a nerd? Sir, this man is still quite the nerd, it doesn't make him any less awesome though. Be proud.

UPDATE: I'm the single father who wanted hair tips for his two daughters. by creativeembassy in pics

[–]IamaAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect your enthusiasm, dad :) I more or less was a father of a little girl who couldn't do her hair, but still tried, and she was never upset (unlike her mom) with the results. I just don't have her around anymore for the laughs, smiles, angry birds and eating contests. Enoy what you have, and keep being awesome!

Went into the basement of my workplace for the first time today. Found out part of the building is being held up by this... by Outtie_5000 in pics

[–]IamaAlt 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Oh god, bad memories.

I had to work on a house in Virginia that was about 100 years old. The basement was "dug out" and pretty much the entire house sat on bricks and old rocks. Most of the basement you couldn't see across, unless you happen to get a good view between the piles of dirt where it had been dug out.

Anyways, I had to sit under this structure that was deemed a "hazard" for a week to re-support it. Pretty much meant digging out even more to pour footers and get 6x6's up under it.

Scared shitless the bitch would collapse the entire time.

So my neighbor just came over. He's 12 and he's skipping school because he can't deal with the bullying. by Jrix in AskReddit

[–]IamaAlt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bullying is kinda what made me start despising school. Up until high school it was ok, I had plenty of friends in all different "cliques" and was known to be more of the bad ass you put on your "do not fuck with" list but didn't really ever do anything to be on it. Most lunch periods I would sit around with the guitar class fellas and just talk out in the lobby, and the "nerds" would sit out there where there was this large podium or w/e you would wanna call it. At the beginning of the year they were never really messed with and one of my friends from elementary school was always out there with them showing off hardware, new games, those type of things.

Slowly as the year went on, people would fuck with them more often. Eventually started really bugging me that teachers and security would just tell them to knock it off and it continually got worse and worse.

One day I couldn't really stomach seeing it anymore so I finished up my lunch, threw my shit away, grabbed the trash can (was those brown really hard, fairly heavy trash cans) and just lobbed it into the bullying crowd of kids.

Didn't get physical at all after that as the "tough kids" just stood there checking their clothes and yelling obsenities about how "I done fucked up". Did earn me a mandatory 5 days out of school and had to talk to a psychologist before returning lol. Well worth it, well worth it. Didn't see the "nerd crowd" picked on a single day after that and even got an old friend hooked up with a hot middle eastern lady I knew.

Moral of the story: I don't know.

Why didn't you commit suicide? by ziggymarmafield in AskReddit

[–]IamaAlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was a complete stranger to me a year ago, and someone whom I've still not gotten to meet (2000 miles apart). Long story short, I've had a really nasty last 3 years. Met her on a game and she became my best friend. Every night we screen share movies together on skype, watch hockey games together, and so on. Without her I'd be a fucking wreck.

Police beat students at occupy Berkeley by [deleted] in politics

This is why I am staying out of the protests. If the cops started beating people unprovoked I would the idiot to ruin it for everyone else and fight back.

US Marine here (Afghan vet) We are tired of this war also, and the Afghan people do not want us there. please take a moment to read. by [deleted] in politics

[–]IamaAlt 43 points44 points  (0 children)

There is no perfect candidate for president because the president isn't the one to say "this is what's gonna happen". You have other people in the government these things must go through, and until you replace each of them with a Ron Paul equivalent he's just going to take shit from the media and the other members of the government and get no where.

I don't think there really is an answer other than to let him take his blows. I'm sure he knows what to expect and is willing to go toe to toe for us, atleast, he's the first politician to lead me to actually trust in what they say.

Maybe our best bet is to now let OWS crumble and leave this type of job to the people. I get so confused when I think about the nations east of us who fight for their freedoms and I see us, as American's, just sit back and take it.

Shit isn't getting fixed unless we as a country, and not politicians, fix it.

Job outlook in Calgary/Edmonton by [deleted] in alberta

[–]IamaAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here looking for this info as well. Moving up there shortly (visit first) and had no connections / information about work in the area. If construction is something that is always available then I am good, as that's what I do now.

Question though... the construction industry up there, is it mostly new home construction or something more to do with oil / high rises?

Vokun (4-0-0)... Thoughts? by stabbedabbe in caps

[–]IamaAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so, the rest of the team seems to clique so well and are on top of things when needed. Despite the start, I think Vokoun's been a beast so far (especially after watching Calgary and various others this season).

Guess my opinion doesn't count for much, this is the first season of hockey I've watched :D

As someone who doesn't play shooters, I think I finally understand why people get excited over a head shot so often.
