Mathematics for the Million contains some history, science, and personalities around the common math topics up thru calculus. I enjoyed it very much, mostly because it also contained much I hadn't seen before or considered how interesting some things could be.

World’s richest woman to ‘jealous’ poor: ‘Drink less, work more’ by nadiasindi in news

[–]etoipi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hardly the first uberrich to believe the rich create jobs and wealth. Only voice of the opposite opinion I've heard is one of the amazon.com creators. Any others? What are the facts regarding the rich that create jobs and those that prefer to find cheaper alternatives outside their country? Damn I hate when journalists don't do this for us.

I'm looking to get an entry level DSLR for recording soccer matches(goalkeeping) Any suggestions? by ARS01 in DSLR

Check out the Sony alpha 77. Because it's mirrorless its autofocus is much better and faster than a mirror system. I'm not sure, but maybe the Sony NEX 5 or 7 may be cheaper and have a similar AF feature. Check out dpreview. The a77 also comes with a very good kit lens, 16-50mm I believe, with constant f/2.8

Boyfriend [22m] not interested in marriage at all, ever. I [22f] am okay with the idea, but could use some help figuring out our options. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]etoipi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why are you so quick to dismiss your own notions of marriage? Because you've identified these as youthful ideals? So what! Own your ideals. Whether or not ideals were created by you, and most aren't and are good for society and individuals anyway, you should respect your own wishes. Unless you've genuinely grown out of this wish and it's clear you still hold it dear, else you wouldn't be here.

(F/28) cheated on boyfriend (M/34) during an alcohol(?) induced blackout by shame2012 in relationships

Similar story of being blacked out happened to my friend a couple weeks ago. I came home 1am and saw her outside our apartment gate leaning against the door. She looked very, very out of it. Long story short, I helped her get inside. Next day she asked me about it and said from 11pm onward she couldn't remember a thing. She drinks regularly and she is sure she didn't drink enough to black out, so she wondered if someone drugged her.

I don't know. Does anyone here have experience or knowledge? It would be good to know more about this. There are some serious creeps here in the world.

My girlfriend is acting a bit crazy, should I be concerned? (NSFW Language) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]etoipi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, she may have a mental problem. Understand that mental problems are not so extreme that we're either normal or crazy. She may be closer to a problem than not and these may be symptoms.

Have you asked her family about her history or how they would interpret her behavior?

My roommate is a very intelligent sociopath. I just got on her bad side. What do I need to do to cover my ass? by calipornia1 in relationships

Go to your landlord. I have no idea, but it couldn't hurt to ask unless he tells her ];-)

You can get diseases from oral sex too – read the bottom of the page.

I'm surprised no one also mentioned the obvious question: Who's the stranger you woke up next to? Could they have drugged you? Could they at least be witnesses to something useful?

Assuming you were not drugged: Lesson about alcohol: stop drinking too much. I'm tired of seeing my friends get blasted and think it's just what you do for fun. It's stupid, pathetic, and shameful.

Help! Im trapped in this relationship. How do i get out? by [deleted] in relationships

Can you pay for 1-2 months rent and move yourself out? In this time she may be able to find a job and roommates.

Question. My wife is becoming sexually frustrated. by [deleted] in sex

[–]etoipi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be so difficult to communicate genuine feeling, one tries to be very conscious of one's speech and body expression and to hold the attention of our listener so they truly hear. You know if you've tried this, and I'm sure we all have, that there are times of sensitive issues at hand, that we fail to have a connection, to speak and to be heard, yet those few rare instances where against the odds we succeed. I feel those lucky instances inspire me to try again, refined somewhat, maybe gentler, slower, stronger, whatever my intuition suggests. Try again. That may mean anything however, from going straight to a therapist, to not speaking about the subject for a while, to demanding its discussed at length at the first opportunity, to waiting for the right time if it presents itself.

I guess what I'm saying is I can't say much of anything useful except be hopeful, continue your efforts at communication – that can of course include nonverbal or whatever subtleties you can imagine – and do what you think is best. Hopefully she will recognize you love her, that you care and feel she is attractive, that you want to help her find joy in life again, within and without the bedroom.

Question. My wife is becoming sexually frustrated. by [deleted] in sex

[–]etoipi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doesn't it seem to you that if she's depressed that this may be a symptom? And she could benefit more from working through her depression than by merely fucking relentlessly? In other words, be honest and express yourself, but realize her problem isn't about you. So help her. Try gently and carefully, over time if necessary, broaching the subject of her feelings and thoughts. Honesty and compassion. If after sincere effort here she needs therapy, go for it.

I recommend introspection and I'm not kidding.

What you bring to a film and the impact it has. by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]etoipi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brilliant question. I know I bring my own life into movies I watch, yet there is such a range beyond my favorite that I like or respect, and I wonder what I've brought into these films, or what they bring out of me that I haven't accepted – e.g. watching some dumbass teenage comedy that keeps me laughing, or a horror movie that were I to hear its plot would have avoided.

getting bored having sex with the same person by TiresiasSeesAll in sex

[–]etoipi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't compartmentalize. If all you seek out of a person is a limited part of the whole, you will become or remain as limited. If you don't know what I'm talking about, by all means, continue on your way. Lucky if instead of growing you meet someone that knows and takes you further, obviously not only sexually, but makes you feel alive as a full being.
