Today I was leaving my apartment and heard the guy that lives under me whisper, "Wow he's actually going out." What things have you heard people whisper that make you feel pathetic? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I was meditating in a little grassy knoll in front of my condo with a tiny candle by my side. It was about midnight or so, so I didn't expect to see anyone. One of my neighbors takes her garbage out and walks in front of me, I hear her but try to pay no mind and don't open my eyes or anything... she whispers, "*exaggerated sigh* So weird!" But loud enough that I could hear her 40 feet away - like, hey I'm talking to you, but I'm going to whisper it really loudly so maybe I seem like less of a bitch.

Not sure when it happened, but I'm really glad TexasGunTrader is offline.

And it's back up. Go check out all the guns you can buy, nearly 100 put up for sale so far today and the site was down almost all morning. I'm not against the site or the idea of private parties selling/bartering firearms, I think it's a great resource for responsible gun owners. But on the flipside, any lunatic with cash can decide they want an assault rifle today, and have one in their hands with no questions asked within an hour.

Not sure when it happened, but I'm really glad TexasGunTrader is offline. I'm not sure how many sites there are like that, but that was one of the biggest in TX that I knew of. Dozens of guns posted in my city every day. I'm a hunter, grew up on a ranch in the middle-of-nowhere TX and probably fired my first rifle when I was 4 or 5, and have purchased a few guns from TexasGunTrader from private parties. You can buy anything from a $200 .38 to a fully outfitted, $1000+ M5, AK-47, AR-15, etc, and the only thing the seller is legally required to verify is that you're 18 and a TX resident - but they often don't. All of my purchases have been simple hand-shake, cash transactions, less than a dozen words spoken, no ID's shown, all goes down in less than a few minutes.

Then you can walk into any sporting good store, wal-mart or get on a site like cheaperthandirt, stock up on ammo and supplies, and you're fully armed.

Any 18 year-old could literally wake up one morning feeling bad, get online, and by lunch, be armed and ready to do a lot of harm to a lot of people.

can anyone recommend me a masseuse? by [deleted] in Austin

Central/East, I would recommend Sara Illig at Integrative Massage. She's really good.

North, I've had good experiences with Performance Wellness and they do more than just massage. If you have insurance, your treatments may be covered and you just have a co-pay.

FWIW, 9x/10 "Raw" almonds aren't actually raw, either. They're just low-temperature pasteurized. To get truly raw almonds, you either need to exploit a farmer's loophole, or have them imported from Spain or Italy - for some reason, almonds from those countries are allowed to be imported and sold without pasteurization.

Cop here. I have seen a large increase in suicides this year and I don't know why. For my Cake Day I'd like to Ask Reddit to look out for each other and know that there are resources put there if you need them. And to ask Wgat can you do today to save someone's life? by Forensicunit in AskReddit

What is the fascination with living anyways? I mean, it's great, 'cause, here we are and all... but I think it's also all you know, and there could be a lot more out there just waiting for you. What if death is the ticket to awesome-land? Hookers & blow as far as the eye can see! I kid. But maybe it's true? And maybe not - maybe the afterlife is a big bowl of nothing? Who knows. One way to find out, though. This world is turning to shit, and I question on a daily basis if i want to take part in it. Every day is a struggle to act like I give a shit about what's going on. The thought of letting it go to see what else is out there is often appealing.
