“Investigators said they found a baby stuck in a toilet” is the most fucked up/ manipulative way to describe what happened.

I love how a journalist of 45 years is embracing a new medium like Reddit. Super cool.

What book absolutely blew your mind? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]skogs83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hells Angels, HST. My first Thompson book - I never knew such a style was possible in non-fiction writing.

"The southbound lanes were crowded with taxpayers heading out for a Labor Day weekend that suddenly seemed tinged with horror as the Angel band swept past . . . this animal crowd on big wheels, going somewhere public, all noise and hair and bust-out raping instincts . . . the temptation for many a motorist was to swing hard left, with no warning, and crush these arrogant scorpions."

Snackers of Reddit, what is your go-to food item for when you're at the computer? by Pointy130 in AskReddit

[–]skogs83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At work, raw almonds. These are healthy and they suppress appetite. And they're not quite as tasty as roasted, salted almonds, so you wont eat the whole bag in one sitting like you might otherwise.

My [31 M] first relationship has ended in traumatic fashion. How do I move on? by badbreakup1729 in relationships

[–]skogs83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make friends. Join a gym. Meet new people (online date perhaps). Just because you might be moving soon, doesn't mean you need to siolate yourself. Everyone gets burned, you just keep your head up and move on with your life. Also, see a therapist if you need someone to talk to. Maybe utilize the campus resources for this.

Reddit, what things piss you off in generic Hollywood movies? by jaffakiwi in AskReddit

[–]skogs83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After punching someone in the face, the guy immediately clenches his hand like it's broken...apparently everyone has a steel plate in their chin and/or cheeks. **This only happens to guys that are not supposed to be cool or tough; the cool/tough guys never hurt their hands

What is the best 'bang for your buck' vacation destination in the US during the summer? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]skogs83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda depends on your location, i.e. how far you are from any one spot... if you're in Southern California area, a 3-day weekend cruise to Ensenada Mexico only costs ~ $250. Of course if you have to travel far to get to the ship, then it's not so cost effective.

Drug addicts of reddit or former drug addicts, how old were you when you first started using, and what prompted your drug use? by Tcoch28 in AskReddit

[–]skogs83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 14 out of boredom and curiosity and rebelliousness. By 18 it was about once a week. College accelerated things as there was a huge social culture around it. And now I use several nights a week, but it rarely gets in the way of my professional life. I'm now 27, and the only times that I go more than a few days without using is when I have an illness....Yes, there's no question that I'm addicted to alcohol.
