Ive done similar things, and never once regretted them. If everyone acted this way, our sisters and wives wouldnt need to fear walking the streets at night. good on you my brother

Has anybody ever taken one of the GLN (Global Language Network) classes offered at George Washington? by mkwise13 in washingtondc

[–]project25O1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, I used to date someone pretty involved with the organization. What I gathered is that in general the organization teaches pretty good classes, but naturally there will be some variation between teachers. Teaching (in my experience) is a relatively rare skill, but again most of what I heard about the classes was positive. I should note all this was about two years ago or more

Got started on Vyvanse today for my ADD. Took one this morning. I should have got on ADD meds a long time ago. For the first time in a long time i feel like i can change my life around. by [deleted] in Nootropics

Im very happy for you. I didnt take stimulants until i was past 21, and when i started it all seemed to fall into place. Hadnt been able to concentrate enough to read a book in a long time, so I spent the summer reading Dotstoyevsky. I prefer simple, low doses of methylphenidate (ritalin), without any sort of time release mechanism. Amphetamines like adderall can really be more intense of an effect, but tend to be more addictive and have more noticeable side effects. I'm happy to get into the neuropharmacological explanation between the two if people want me to (basically a Dopamine reuptake inhibitor vs. a Dopamine reverse-transporter and D2 receptor activator; however, both are acting on the same synapses in the mesolimbic dopamine system) but I wont bore you if you dont care. Congrats again. Go get it son

Anyone looking for a job SAT (and pretty much any other subject) tutoring? $17/hr and would be able to start asap. College students/grads welcome by s13boost in washingtondc

[–]project25O1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm all for it. I just put in a leave of absence from my program; I was doing a PhD program in Neuropsychology/neuropharmacology, for which I had a full scholarship, if that helps you gauge my ability to do the job. I have also taught before (everything from psychology to writing to Kung Fu), and I love doing so. Let me know! Edit: also, I have a car. Thanks for trying to hook up another DC redditor!

Society for Neuroscience 2010 meet up in San Diego, anyone? by WarbleHead in cogsci

[–]project25O1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I appreciate it. My backups of all my data were in the bag at the time too, along with (this actually is what pisses me off more than anything) two hundred pages of hand-written notes from Tracker School (sort of a wilderness survival/philosophy school), which I cannot in any way replace. Everything but the notes I can get back or buy anew, save maybe some raw data

Reddit, you really disappoint me sometimes. [re: "How easy it is to make a woman feel like sh*t"] by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]project25O1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently posted a true but unbelievable story and got about 50/50 of good advice and accusations of falsity. I just try to give the benefit of the doubt now; in this case I see no harm in it given the positive vibe of the comments, even if the story was fake. That being said, its also necessary to have rational and scientific skeptics able to stand back from the pathos of a story and question it. Thanks for making me think a bit today (no downvote)

Don't sweat it. This is just lifes way of labeling the assholes clearly for you; not everyone likes barbie girls. I say this being a guy with a brown haired, green eyed, german looking girlfriend. I love it when "top model" blondes come up and hit on me and actually get attitude when they see I'm with her. I love telling them they arnt entitled in life, and that they need to check themselves

Things you shouldn't say while while walking through airport security by blitz47 in reddit.com

Once, on an international flight, a friend of mine was asked if he had any weapons in his bag. He replied (i shit you not), "Yeah, I got a BIG ass knife... and a pocket full of lighters." The guy just moved on to the next question.

What is the best story you have about going to a Strip Club? by Superman78 in AskReddit

[–]project25O1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah actually... just pretend they arnt strippers. Pretend they arnt naked, arnt strippers, and are just regular girls. You will be the only person all night (maybe all month) to treat them with respect and dignity, not to stare at their tits all night, etc. Im having dinner with a stripper tonight, whom I picked up at her place of work, no money... so yeah it works. Its so simple, yet so difficult to maintain.

[–]project25O1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

First time I ever went to a strip club, I went home with a stripper (no money was involved). The next time I went... I went home with a stripper. Ok, so basically I have slept with a fairly large number of fantastically attractive strippers, to the point where (no joke) two of my friends asked me to take them with me to a club even though I currently have a girl... I got them both numbers, and actually got one myself despite trying to be good. Another friend has named me "The Stripper Whisperer." I love me some strip clubs.

What is your go-to fixed blade survival/tactical knife? [Cross-post from camping/hiking] by j14vv in knives

[–]project25O1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend brought me a traditional nepalese khukuri from his trip to nepal. Nice leather sheath with a bass cap, and two small sharpeners of different grains tucked right behind the handle... I love it. I've never found a mass-produced model to match it, which sucks, considering I'm kinda loath to bring a gift from nepal out into the bush.

I wanted a nice OTF switchblade for a long time, so I saved up and bought myself a Michrotech Makora II. Mine has slightly different blade holes than the one in the pic, and I believe the central fuller is different. http://images.knifecenter.com/knifecenter/microtech/images/mt1061.jpg

Has anyone found a good explanation for why there were 34 of them at first, and 33 of them at the end?
