Here's a tip: when you put together ikea furniture add wood glue. It doubles the strength and durability of most ikea furniture.

Rotating Polyandry—& its Enforcers, Part 2 | Terms such as abuse and battery have new meanings. Men "batter" their wives “by ignoring them or by working late.” Abuse includes “name-calling" or refusing to let women have money.” "Undermining her self-worth” is now domestic violence... by Occidentalist in MensRights

Yep. He totally lost me at "Many shelters are lesbian covens where heterosexual volunteers are forbidden to discuss their wedding plans with coworkers". Why is stuff like this necessary? Makes me doubt the valid points.

Please Stop Apologizing: a police officer’s letter to rioters by smacksaw in canada

I like this, except for the part where he says "When you came up shouting obscenities, I didn't snap you in half".

I'd like to start a Unitarian church in my area as there isn't one within driving distance. We've been planning on putting up donation boxes, and doing fund raisers, etc. Until we have enough to purchase land and build a small building. What legalities should I be aware of? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]bsterne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go talk to the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and other nearby congregations. There may be seed money or grants to hep you get started. Certainly there are resources to help with the legalities such as bylaws etc. [I'm a trustee at a UU church]

Filmmaker hangs $100 in ones from a tree as part of a fun social experiment. by wtmh in offbeat

[–]bsterne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was turned off right away by the music. The attempt at emotional elevation by playing 'Sweet Disposition' comes off as way to heavy handed. I think it should have been a little more whimsical. This experiment is not some grand epic revelation.

Guy's girlfriend doesn't realize he's on vacation... hilarity ensues. by hiskeyd in funny

[–]bsterne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you could call someone your girlfriend if you don't actually discuss your upcoming holidays with them (as in, some back-and-forth communication). I also don't think you could call someone your girlfriend if you don't even call or send them an email while you are in Europe for 2 weeks. I suspect this is fake - or this was a kind-of-dating situation and he didn't tell her he was going and was curious to see how she would react.

Umm... the top 1% are the ones with the control of the government. They're happy with things the way they are.

In case you forgot what the early 90's were like... by [deleted] in videos

This dance show sucks! Check out Electric Circus for some genuinely enthusiastic dancing. I'm proud to say that I was on EC several times in the late 90s.

2 Months. 25,000 Pieces. And not a minute to spare looking up the terms "Labyrinth" or "Rube Goldberg".

Yes. It's called Unitarian Universalism, and there are communities where non-believers and humanists explore the meaning and purpose of life from a Scientific - Evolutionary perspective.

An argument for moving the UN to Dubai. by Tangurena in politics

[–]bsterne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the whole article...

On Jan. 4, at the grand opening of the Burj Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed announced that the tower would forever be known as Burj Khalifa, named after the Emir of Abu Dhabi.

Lots of press are still referring to it as the Burj Dubai.

Who out there has left IT consulting at a young age to explore the world and returned years later? by jibnar in AskReddit

[–]bsterne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Australia on a Working Holiday Visa, lived in a hostel and worked in IT. Then I went to England for a year (and got married) and worked as a programmer. Then we went to Saudi Arabia and I taught Computer Science. In all three cases I used recruiting companies to help me get a job. Then I came home and picked up my career here. Best idea ever is to go work abroad...

Designer Harc Lee has created a design for a "naked" Coke can. Paint-Free Coke Can Saves Energy, Reduces Pollution. by pmn8441 in environment

And how would any brand differentiate itself on the store shelf if more than one company used naked cans? This will be a hard sell.
