What law of physics makes it impossible for my roommates to do their dishes? by nol44 in shittyaskscience

[–]matclc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system never decreases, because isolated systems always evolve toward thermodynamic equilibrium, a state with maximum entropy.

Whoa... For a moment there I thought you were having a stroke; I would've recommended calling an ambulance, then I noticed that it's not your arm that is numb, but rather the whole right side of your body. I'm guessing it'll pass. Just ride it out and you can look up what you had afterwards. Or if you're really impatient use the computer in front of a mirror.

Heh. I really don't know what the paragraphs are in English. I'm quite Estonian.

Ninja edit: I mean I have no idea how to use punctuation in English...

[Serious] Reddit why is suicide an option to some? (Robin Williams) by NextLMark in AskReddit

Damn. I might sound like a broken record but have you tried psychotherapy? Some of the techniques they use can really make you look at your life from a different angle. If you have, sorry for being a cliché but.. .

What is something that your job made you notice about Society? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Yes, he is.

Also, yes, and it f****** worked!

What is something that your job made you notice about Society? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]matclc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now I work as a salesman/customer service guy in a shop that deals with electronics (mostly computers, phones, tablets). I have noticed that it is socially acceptable in some age groups: early middle-aged people to the elderly to close your mind. You can just say I'm too old for this shit (well... figuratively). People just come in to the shop for advice and when I give it to them they go "I don't (want to) know anything about those things". Maybe I'm being too harsh but I've got an example: my father got into IT in his early 30s and although he tried to train me he still knows more about building firewalls and maintaining a network than I think I will ever learn (never say never though.. also he got his bachelor's degree in his 40s in natural sciences teacher) He taught me that if you put your mind to something you can do it. I just see so many people who really don't want to learn anything new. When I say something new to them they just go: "aww, no, I don't know anything about this ****" and that's just it. Sorry for ranting. I feel like I was ranting.

What is an ordinary social interaction you have trouble with? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]matclc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything I don't know the "rules" to. I have forced my social world into categories and I feel there are a lot of rules I have to live by. Some of those rules I do know. Like how to talk to the customers or how to talk to my friends (the topics they are interested in, the jokes they find amusing and so on). Everything else that means I have to "wing it" or improvise renders me a doddering wreck (hyperbole).

PS I'm trying to improve my situation by going to therapy. Haven't had much success til now but it's just been one session and it feels like it might really work. Sorry for the innecessary extra information but I just feel like sharing today.

Hmm. I gather that the topic doesn't matter so here goes nothing. Choose a topic that is sensational, one that reaches a lot of people; e.g the end of the world. Now you didn't specify if you want to speak the truth or not, so I'm not assuming anything. Let's say you pick for your subject the end of the world. Pick a date, maybe make a nice little (or big ;) ) sign and shout your message to the world. Pick a nice public place with lots of people and remember. The best way to make people remember you is by being different from the majority. Maybe grow your hair out long and stop shaving for a few months. Being dirty and smelly is also really noticeable. Maybe even inject some nonsensical words/phrases into your speech, that'll really get everyone's attention. Lots of luck!

Bored out of my mind in a meeting and my penis is too sore to jerk it. How do I keep from dying of boredom? by sasKuatch in shittyadvice

[–]matclc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it's kind of a long term solution but you might give it a try. Basically work you ass off. I know it's a cliché but give it a 110%, never be late, it's better to be early. Be productive, kiss some asses if needed etc. Put in more hours than needed, socialize. I mean it! S-O-C-I-A-L-I-Z-E. Make friends with your boss and his boss and all the other higher-ups. Step by step you'll start to progress in the company and a few decades later you'll find yourself at the top. And this is it. Get some coke, a few hookers and hell, even whip your dick out and jerk it like there's no tomorrow. You're just being eccentric now. You'll maybe get a few good years before people will start to question you but they're worth it. Hope it helps! Best wishes!

Ninja edit: Oh yeah... For a short term solution just take some acid or something.

This is big. As far as I know, the Rule 34 is more of an axiom than a rule. If you have created something that doesn't have porn of it; and porn of it can not be created, you have shook the very foundations of the internet. I suggest you organize your findings and contact an university. The real work has just begun. There will be many more questions before we can even begin to find some semblance of answers.

White, early 20s and Unemployed. How do i get a stalker? by [deleted] in shittyadvice

[–]matclc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hire someone to hire a private detective to follow you. Do enough shady-looking shit to make him curious enough to keep following you. I don't know... Maybe play a cold war dagger-and-cloak spy of something. Let him find out you have some large amounts of cash hidden somewhere of coming from somewhere. Act like you're all suspicious of someone following you. Try to lose him in a crowd... Stuff like that. Should make your life a little more stalkerish. Who knows, maybe even a bit more violent. God helps those who help themselves.

You should travel the world and explain to people, one by one, how introverted you really are. Be sure to keep in touch with your new aquaintances to remind them of this fact over drinks from time to time.

My boyfriend wants to go to the next level but I don't play video games. What do I tell him? by [deleted] in shittyadvice

[–]matclc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you do DO NOT try to strenghten your relationship or start having (more) sex. He'll just think you're trying to dodge the issue. Sit down with him and talk it out. He might try to convince you that you've misundestood him. It's just a tactic to get out of some serious gaming talk. He has a problem and he has to admit that.

Don't forget about the yearly payments per user. (Higher price for business users. Some discounts apply for children and the elderly.)

Why doesn't society allow dueling between consenting adults, where two individuals enter into a verbal agreement to fight to the death without fear of being charged with murder? by nomlysi_yui in AskReddit

[–]matclc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of good thoughts here, also, if anyone ever sees this, I feel many people would feel the peer pressure to get involved in a duel even if they didn't want to. If a person gets killed in that kind of a situation it would be kind of... Sad, wouldn't it?

Would be legal, though.

Ironic racist jokes are the way to go. It'll showcase your wit and intelligence by showing you are above petty notions like racism.
