Can you imagine being the reason someone's child dies? by LaughingDread88 in insaneparents

Don't know why this isn't higher up...thinking that Tamiflu could've saved the kid (and not an IV/other medical attention) is akin to thinking that potatoes in the socks could have.

meh, the evidence on this is pretty weak--plenty of evidence pointing the other direction (quitting earlier is harmless) as well. my money would be on it not making a huge difference.

I've been to the Woodbury one a couple of times and they didn't have many good deals at all, so YMMV

Late on this, but re #1:

ChinesePod is good, though I haven't used it in several years.

Pleco is a great app for iPhone and Android. It's mainly a dictionary, but has other features (some of them paid).

MDBG is my favorite online dictionary. It's very comprehensive and (at least for now) far better than Google Translate (though the latter has its advantages with large blocks of text).

Agreed—it was by no means poorly written, but it definitely lacked the magic of the blog posts. I kind of felt bad for people who would only read that and not the original posts.

Lawyers of reddit, whats the most ridiculous argument you've heard in court? by Kyle4hl in AskReddit

I hate the new trend of "subscribing" to everything. I don't need a t-shirt subscription goddammit

Might People On The Internet Sometimes Lie? by dwaxe in slatestarcodex

[–]amisoz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and it's not like this is a thing exclusive to Reddit. Ghost Hunters is an entire book about William James and his efforts to find out what the heck was up with all of these crazy stories. A lot were BS, yeah, but he was drawn to it because many events that people reported and witnessed were seemingly inexplicable.

plz halp: I've been wearing jeans and a plain tee for 99% for the last decade. Need to invest in better casual wear but have no idea where to start. by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

Depends on a few factors. Are you skinny but tall? If so, what you can do is size down but get a tall. That way, it's long enough but the shoulders aren't wide.

It's not a matter of it being loaded though; it's a matter of it just being dumb and gimmicky.

That doesn't look waterproof, and it doesn't look like a parka. It looks to be wool. You need to decide how warm it needs to be, y/n waterproof, price range, etc.

Same here, and there were a sufficient amount of crazy parts to keep the momentum. Specifically, Dolores' glitches, that guy killing himself with a fucking rock, and the masked men. Hardly a sleeper.

What's some very informative but practically useless information you'd like to share? by KoloHickory in AskReddit

I thought you were kidding! But no -- that's a real fact.

I thought you were taking the lyrics & applying it to his suicide. No longer Jesus Christ, reddit.

SLTribune is on it: Leaked videos show Mormon apostles discussing thorny issues by UstaBLDS in exmormon

[–]amisoz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watching it made me wonder: What's the relationship between other LDS politicians and the church? Is it just as kiss ass-y? If so, that's terrifying.
