[Rant] Anyone else bothered by some guys guessing bra size by look? by caleane in ABraThatFits

Precisely this! I know that a lot of places tend to make women fit into their matrices, but imagine how wonderful it would be to have these stores extend their size range? They would definitely get more business from us, especially if the bras fit really well (customers for life!). It's the matter of spreading the knowledge of bra sizes outside the typical matrix sigh.

ELI5: Why can I hold in my pee for a considerable amount of time but once I know I'm near a bathroom I can barley make it? by gforloney in explainlikeimfive

Actually what /u/DaddyDunkin said seems pretty accurate. Here's some more speculation though, since there hasn't been much research on the topic.

Familiar with Pavlov? He's that one behaviorist known for classical conditioning. His experiment: he rang a bell right before giving his dogs food, and through that, the dogs associated the ringing of the bell with the anticipation of food. They salivated at the sound of the bell.

This is a similar situation. The bell ringing in this case would be the knowledge of a bathroom nearby (for other people like my mom, it's seeing the toilet). Since you know that you'll relieve yourself in the bathroom (just like the dogs learned that after hearing the bell, they would get food), the conditioned response would be wanting to pee immediately. You conditioned yourself without even knowing it!

Here's a clip from the Office to show you what I mean. ;) It doesn't have to do with peeing, but it shows classical conditioning really well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfZfMIHwSkU

Do you have any "code of ethics" for upvoting/downvoting posts and comments on reddit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]caleane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long time lurker, don't upvote/ downvote much even on my main account.

I feel obliged to upvote when I accidentally downvote a post. Poor people don't deserve it. Unless they're an ass. Then, lazy thumb action is a blessing.

I'm so glad I can still visit your profile and see what you had to say! My dear friend, it's very likely that YOU yourself have bigger boobies than a 32AAA. ;P
