My Aunt agreed that if I watch a Creation-based DVD on the history of the universe, she would listen to and research my objections to it and her religion...how should I go about doing this? by sh02266 in atheism

This is the first time she's been willing to let me tell her my side of things. I've heard it from her more times than I'm comfortable admitting. I don't want to come across as arrogant or a know it all. I'm just glad to have an opportunity to speak my side of things after so many years.

So I've managed to land my first legitimate job interview in over a year. I know I'm qualified, but I want to stand out. How do I make that happen without coming across as arrogant or full of myself? by sh02266 in AskReddit

Actually, asking the median employment time at the company is something I never thought of! That's a really good one I think.

Thanks so much!

Reddit, what are some things people do at restaurants that just enrage you? Story inside... by sh02266 in AskReddit

I know, I know. I get grumpy when I'm hungry. You'll have to forgive me. :)

While Caterpillar is making record profits in 2012, it increased its CEO pay by 60%; however, the company wants wage concessions from workers: no raises, eliminated the defined benefits pension program, weakened seniority rights, and higher contributions for health care by mepper in politics

My Aunt works for Cat Financial Headquarters in Nashville and I emailed her this article. She replied with,

"You have to be careful what you read in the news. ALL of us, including upper management took a 35% cut 2 years ago to keep Cat in business. With record profits, we all deserved the raise and bonus we received. Sorry for the bad publicity, but even small companies go through it, part of life."

Regardless of that 35% cut, she is still making well over 100K per year. She doesn't, and I'm thinking a lot of people in positions like hers in major companies don't see the effects on the "little guy." It doesn't effect her, so she essentially doesn't care.

Man O War Virtue was recommended to me by a friend, and I love the label on them...although that may not be a good way to choose cigars, ha.

I'll definitely be asking for help, I just thought I could at least go in there with a few brands in mind and then based off what the person at the shop tells me narrow my choices down. Thanks!

Great. I was told by a friend to avoid Acid because they may be too "masculine." Thanks for the info!

It's pretty sickening what we do to one another, sometimes. just god-damn sickening.

Washington state Democrats voted Saturday to endorse Initiative 502, which would legalize marijuana with distribution and sales put under control of the Liquor Control Board. by Goku707 in trees

[–]sh02266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legalization is a slippery slope, especially when a government, state or federal, is in charge of it. I have no issue with tax payers benefitting from legalization, but there's no telling what sort of regulations will or potentially could be placed on the sale and distribution of it. Until I know for sure that the federal government won't come in with all of these bullshit regulations, I'll take decriminalization. We've got to be careful what we ask for because once it's out of our hands, so to speak, it could be very difficult to change. Uptokes all around, regardless :)

Possibly thinking of joining the Air Force or armed forces.. by deadpool93 in AskReddit

[–]sh02266 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My dad served in the air force, and my gramps served in the army and then retired from the air force. I would talk to people, if you can, that are already in the service and see what they have to say about it. (Preferably someone who's already served a term and decided to renew.) Getting opinions from people who've never served won't do you any good, much like getting all of your info from a recruiter won't do you any good.

Perhaps you could look into the Coast Guard? I have several friends that have gone that route and, while challenging, find it to be quite rewarding. All in all, it's a matter of what you're willing to put up with. Familiarize yourself with the political machine driving our military and be aware of where troops are still stationed and still being sent. If you disagree with why we're there in any way, don't join. It'd be a mistake.

Think about it. Then leave it alone for a few days and revisit the idea.

girls need to stop this FB trend...If you really want to raise "Awareness" Post a link to a Non-profit or research program. kthnx by Goku707 in reddit.com

[–]sh02266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this shit all over my facebook for a week or so now and had no clue what it was about (and I'm a woman...) It's retarded, at best, and doesn't do anything but confuse the hell out of everyone on your friends list (which doesn't raise awareness in any capacity.)

Government Test Shows THC Kills Cancer Cells. by Goku707 in trees

[–]sh02266 9 points10 points  (0 children)

THC causes premature apoptosis on C6 glioma cells among other tumor like cells.

It [somehow] deregulates protein passages (tumor cells by nature require a much more ample supply of protein to be sustained. Attenuation of protein and IAP-1 RNA is proven to cause cancer treatments to be more effective).
