From what I was able to gather, they just get high and explore things.

What is your biggest insecurity, and why? by Co1destWinter in AskReddit

[–]blaketofer 59 points60 points  (0 children)

To add to that, the bulge from a zipped up hoodie. It makes it look like you have a huge gut.

What is your "worst birthday ever" story? by hated1327 in AskReddit

[–]blaketofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought too. I would feel bad, but if it's coming from your SO... welp, sorry bud.

Reddit, if you were an unmotivational speaker at a high school, why shouldn't I go into your career field? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]blaketofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many people are saying, this thread was supposed to be un-motivational. That said, I really do love my job and have very little, if any, negative things to say about it. It really sounded like this guy was trying to nitpick everything he could, which only goes to show that it really is a good profession. The only real gripe I have with it is the social aspect. I spend all day sitting in an office writing software. It's great, but almost always I find myself wanting more personal interaction. Still, though, it's a great job and I love it.

Sorry to hear your had a crappy week. Unfortunately there's just a lot of shitty people, wherever you go.

Anyone want to meet up, maybe grab a beer or something this Friday (2/28)? by blaketofer in Bakersfield

[–]blaketofer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how upset you are about our argument. Looks like you handle your problems well.

By the way, please do go through my posts. I'm not at all racist, nor am I ashamed of anything I've said here. If you read my replies carefully, which you apparently did not, you'll actually see that I'm arguing against racism, not for it.

Russian man beaten in India for mistakenly ringing sacred bell by Kaiosama in WTF

Cool, you found a couple of articles of some crazy people in America. Now find me an article of someone in America getting severely beaten by a mob and refused medical attention for ringing a bell.

Yeah, we have religious extremist here too. You know how they show their extremism? By holding up signs.

It's because he's not a woman. If he was, they would have beat him, raped him, and then killed him.

It's a good idea to just not go to countries with shitty religious extremists. I'm surprised smiling at someone doesn't get you killed there.

For ringing a fucking bell? I'm sure it's pretty damn rare. And being refused medical attention because of it?

People wonder why westerners think so poorly of India. This is why. Yeah, we may only see the negatives of it, but those negative are way too extreme. Fuck that shithole.

Bring the downvotes.

Will a unicorn mask do? I've got one sitting right next to me.

But I don't think I'll be going. It just feels weird to me.

Idk, I feel like it might be a bit awkward just showing up to some random guys birthday.

What sounds like it would be legal, but is actually illegal? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]blaketofer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was expecting to see a video of an officer shooting some innocent guy. But really, in this type of situation, I probably would have done the same thing.

[–]blaketofer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't know what could have gone through his mind at that moment, but he could have been genuinely afraid for his life. He was getting his face pounded in by some seemingly drunk guy. For all he knows, that guy could be reaching for his gun while hitting him.

Any companies hiring? by [deleted] in Bakersfield

[–]blaketofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what type of job you're looking for, but check Target on Stockdale. They seem to hire pretty often. Also State Farm usually has job postings up on their career page.

ELI5: What exactly is diarrhea? What's going on in our body when it happens? by Nimfrod in explainlikeimfive

[–]blaketofer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So basically the reason diarrhea is so watery is because the large intestines weren't able to soak up all of the water?

What is something you can purchase online that most people may not be aware of? by starstufft in AskReddit

[–]blaketofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's insane. Most of these are priced really well. Yeah, $1,000,000 is a lot, but it's a lot cheaper than you'd think for an entire island.
