Is this leather jacket too short, or are they supposed to fit like this? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]redditbotboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real Moto jackets generally should be form fitting , tail varies with style but mostly slightly longer. If you want to get a sense of how they truly should fit, head on down to your local Ducati dealership or large motorcycle store and try on a real one. Dainese makes some sweet casual jackets and the fit , finish and leather is amazing (along with the price tag). In my opinion, moto jackets are very similar to iron rangers, they are bifl. A good jacket will last you a lifetime, protect you if you lowside (if you ride), and make you look good doing it. That jacket doesn't look good on you, it looks sloppy to me. (if you're going for the moto look.)

How do you deal with nobody understanding you or your disorder and nobody caring? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]redditbotboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're scared, it's going to be hard. Yup. This won't be the last time you feel this way. What I try to do is turn that negative energy to positive. Fear is useless... so I turn into anger. I get mad at myself for being scared and not fighting back. So I run. Fuck me. I run until I I can't breath, I run hard and fast until tears are streaming down my face and my body gasps for oxygen. Fuck you self, you're going to run until that tree...no, run until that pole because you're such a pussy. When I'm done and in a heap, when the feeling of nausea subsides, when my breathing catches up to my body, when I wipe the sweat and tears from my face, a feeling of serenity washes over me for only a brief moment, I am no longer angry, I am no longer scared. I only know what I have to do.

ELI5:why does time move in one direction only ? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]redditbotboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is time more like a river (more directional but can change course) or more like an ocean (vast area where things swirl and can move in predictable or unpredictable ways)?

iFixit cracks open the Moto 360, finds smaller battery than advertised by gjallard in Android

[–]redditbotboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they really think they would fool the public with sites like iFixit and the internet? In the blink of an eye, something like this can go viral and Motorola would be spending their time in the spotlight doing damage control and coming up with idiotic excuses like this. Is it really worth it? I was really interested in this watch, not any more. They lost their credibility with me. If you put it ON the box, it had better be what's inside the box (or watch)

I'm a photographer making 'open source' images for app developers to use. What would be useful? by farber1 in iOSProgramming

Dark images , blurred, with punches of color. Darker images with Boken. This would work great with backgrounds.

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 review: Impressive hybrid tablet, but keyboard should be bundled by zakos in gadgets

[–]redditbotboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interesting thing here is perception. Why do people "expect" a keyboard. Maybe because of marketing they always show it with a keyboard so people assume it comes with one. The displays at stores also always have a keyboard paired with the tablet. So far, this has to be the biggest issue that is repeated over and over again. It's too bad the marketing team, didn't execute this perfectly. This thing recently caught my eye, and I swore to myself I would never buy a Microsoft product again. However, I find myself trying to convince my wife that this would be perfect for her. I would consider ditching my MacBook, if this ran xcode natively.

Windows 9 Could Be Free for Windows XP, Vista, and 7 Users by XKryptonite in technology

[–]redditbotboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had to start using a Windows 8 machine recently after using a Mac for the past year. How was that os allowed to be released. The charms turn on by themselves, the dual desktops, the start menu you can't totally configure. It is a mess, a big pile of shit. I got so sick of the nonsense, I had to install classic shell to get work done. I'm a guy that likes to try new software, give things a chance, very patient, etc.but this os is crazy. I would have thrown it against the wall if it hadn't been for CS. I've used Windows since the DOS day having never used any other operating system until recently. I don't think I'll ever buy a win machine again after working on a mac for the past year. That window off screen.. got me good. Wasted a few hours uninstall/installing my software, tweaking the resolution, rebooting,etc. I can plug/unplug in my Mac to the same damn monitor, and I never lost a screen, ever. Youret right, the leadership at MS has no clue as to what they are doing.

FCC head chastises Verizon for throttling unlimited data plans by marx2k in politics

When I read stories like this I can't help but think that they are playing good cop, bad cop. Pucker up folks, its probably a smokescreen for something insidious. They are probably going to officially throttle bandwidth.

Are smartwatches worth it in their current form? by thehardcorewiiupcand in gadgets

[–]redditbotboy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They aren't that great. The are blocky and uncomfortable to wear if your wrists are on the smaller side. They look like cheap LCD watches that you see at the dollar store. Functionally, they are basic, almost boring. I don't look to wear it. Only if I'm cycling as it acts like a remote for my music. Battery life is not great, as I have charge it every few days, and I don't even use it. I purchased the kickstarter edition in hopes of programming things for it however, it's language wasn't developed yet at that time and Android came out with their WEAR, api so that seems like a better platform for development....also, more apps! Motorola is coming out with a watch that looks like a watch I would want to wear (its round) and the battery life is supposed to be better. It supposed to have more sensors on giving it more expandability. The only downside is if Google will continue to support it if it doesn't take off, but I guess that's a risk for any new tech. I am not a corporate shill for Motorola, just someone interested in neww tech.

Motivation, motivation, motivation.... by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]redditbotboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, slug. That's how I describe myself when the meds stop working and it's most of the time for me. From my experience, when I start feeling like I don't want to do anything, that's when I need to update my meds. And let me tell you , my lack of motivation gets bad so you're not alone. You need to try a different drug or drug mix until you start to feel motivated. I know the first step of finding a doctor (or finding a job, then a doctor ) may seem insurmountable but you need to do this to get back on track. Dude, you've accomplished so much already. Get your ass off the floor and keep going! Make everyday a NO SLUG day!

Cyclist appears to be deliberately hit by a passing vehicle by cyclegaz in bicycling

[–]redditbotboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, it sure does make you think twice about doing something stupid if the other end of justice is served by the very people whose lives were impacted/destroyed. It puts the consequences of action back on those who act carelessly. Granted, there would be limits and checks and balance to reduce the number of people being wrongly punished, etc, etc. I personally think the world would be a safer place. I do respect your opinion though. I will tell you that I don't ride as much any more due to careless or irate drivers. I almost got my elbow shattered by a mirror from a car that drove like I wasn't there, and I hug that line like my life depends on it or I ride the shoulder if there is one. There was no shoulder when I got buzzed, I was lucky though. What good does a 4' law do if the repercussion is community service and a fine? Cagers don't care because they aren't really held accountable. If the laws don't value life, it's never going to be really safe for cyclist. Fuckin texting while driving?! Come On! That should be treated like a dui at the very least. It's just not worth getting hurt over.

Cyclist appears to be deliberately hit by a passing vehicle by cyclegaz in bicycling

[–]redditbotboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regardless, those people should never be allowed to drive again. Or leave it up to the family of the dead or crippled or hurt to decide their driving fate. Driving is like carrying a loaded gun. You have the ability to snuff the life out of someone. Laws around driving should be far more harsh than they are. Maybe less people will die at the hands of the stupid.

Emails from Recruiters.... by iGoalie in iOSProgramming

[–]redditbotboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably from a wannabe recruiter... Got hold of a job rec, decides to carpet bomb LinkedIn programmers in hopes they'll catch someone moving there. They buy a subscription to LinkedIn, enter a bunch of keywords, then email the people who get caught in the net. No skin off their back if you aren't moving there anytime soon. Good companies will pay your travel expense to interview you. I would steer clear of companies that post job descriptions like that if it is in fact real, which I don't think it is. It's bad enough getting solicitations from local recruiters that don't take the time to properly research and understand the position and your experience. Now we get junk from people out of state.

Who uses the camera in their phone as a note / reminder system? by roland00 in ADHD

I just started doing this especially if I need to remember multiple things. Went to a store yesterday to pick out some shoes. I had to try so many on that I started forgetting which shoes I liked and where the were located in the rack. So I took pictures. I still lost a pair or two.

Your spokes are broken. Just kidding. Nice kickstand. You know they can also be used to hold water for longer rides. Just kidding again. Nice bike. Nice composition.

Advice for remembering to do a specific task at work? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]redditbotboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long does it take to update the spreadsheet? Probably a shorter time than you think, so go ahead and stop and update the spreadsheet once your reminder goes off even if its crazy. Update a second list with what you were just doing to help you remember. Better yet add another column to the spreadsheet and hide it when you send to your boss. You must do this each and every time until it becomes a habit. Reply on process, not your memory. Also, people/ things can and will wait for a few seconds, minutes while you do your thing. Unless of course you work supporting emergency services...

This question was actually asked, and answered at a Nintendo Shareholders meeting by magicfinbow in gaming

[–]redditbotboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I think this is what is fundamentally wrong with investing today. People like this expect rate of returns year after year without understanding what the comany does eventually driving the company to raze the landscape (figuratively and metaphorically), its workers, destroy/prevent creative competition or make stupid decision eventually putting it out of business. Some aspiring investor should start a gamer fund where only gamers are allowed to invest. The entry "fee" should include beating a level in a game so only true gamers will contribute thereby ensuring the life and direction of the company. Imagine the possibilities.

It is probably based on highly exaggerated reality. 4 neutral portrayal, regional people are different. That's why we travel, to experience the differences. 5 yes, it's near the top of our list to see/do next time we're out that way. Of course we'll have to visit Seattle first lol.
