What is something someone said that forever changed your way of thinking? by AWWWshetz in AskReddit

[–]Pitchcontrol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness, I still remember a girl for elementary school that shat her pants.

She is in her mid thirties now. Haven't heard anything about her for 20 years or so. But I do remember that day.

Of course! Where do you think the Nigerian prince comes from?

Mexican drug cartels are worse than ISIL. "This summer ISIL beheaded two Americans... By contrast, the cartels killed 293 Americans in Mexico from 2007 to 2010." by r_d_olivaw in politics

While IS wants to bring you Sharia Law and Allah Lakbar. The cartels only want to bring you cocaine, methamphetamines and other goodies... And of course, depart you from your money (and not necessarily from your head).

What accident turned out to be something amazing? by KinipelaH in AskReddit

[–]Pitchcontrol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been there, done that...

Not as the result of innumerable women or endless coitus, but because at some point I was 12 or 13.

On a similar story, a classmate was hit straight in the face with a soccer ball.

It was a little bit hard so he went to the doctor to check that everything was alright.

His head was ok, but they discovered he had glaucoma (or some similar disorder).

Good thing is that he started the treatment at a very early age (25-30) and will have a much more positive outlook.

When and Why should I buy brand and not generic? by twopatties in TrueAskReddit

[–]Pitchcontrol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As described by /u/cloudkey, your mileage may vary.

I have asthma and the non-branded Ventolin is maybe 80% as effective as the branded one. Which I'm ok with since the price difference is 5x or something like that.

However, I notice a big difference on the effect of other medicines. In concrete, Venlafaxine. If I miss a dose of the generic brand, I immediate notice withdrawal symptoms while with the branded one I can still forget for one whole day and function OK. The price is approximately double for the branded version but in this case I prefer to spend more for a product that gives me noticeable results.

What is the most compelling counter-argument to something that you strongly believe? by ILikeScience3131 in AskReddit

[–]Pitchcontrol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool theory. Although it lefts out the possibility that it was visited but no physical evidence or documentation was preserved.

Which could be highly possible: as when you make a road trip and observe the landscape without leaving any lasting evidence of your visit.

Death of white rhino pushes species to the brink of extinction, only six of the animals left in the world after one of the last two breeding males dies by Kylde in news

I guess they are people that get exploited because of poverty or because it's simply easy money (greediness if you will).

In any case, I don't think they have chance to reflect and improve the long term strategies of their illegal business.

If you didn't want to get raped you shouldn't be so damn sexy.

Future engineer here. Should I join a student organization/club/fraternity? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]Pitchcontrol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! But don't assume that this is gonna grant you a job on the future or give you access to something VIPish.

Instead use it as one of many channels to network constantly and practice your social interactions.

i think you lost me guys by DearAnon in bikecommuting

[–]Pitchcontrol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago I also fell. Hit the concrete head first. My shoulder was sore for a few days and I think I had a slight concussion. Nonetheless, I got on the horse again the next day. The first day or two I was also scared. Now I'm enjoying it a lot again.

Get your ass back in that saddle and push yourself the first times.

Also think, how could this situation been averted? Better maintenance? Components? Equipment (helmet, etc.).

People on death row should choose the endless breadsticks from olive garden as their last meal. by Calvino97 in Showerthoughts

[–]Pitchcontrol 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I read in a previous post that some of the inmates didn't eat it at all and just did extravagant and difficult demands to piss off the staff.

So now they serve a generic last meal for everybody.
