What has caused you to say "no" to an attractive woman trying to sleep with you?

I don't know what it is with me, but girls used that tactic on me a bunch of times in my life. And every single time it turned me off, and ended whatever was or wasn't building up between me and the girl!

The most memorable time, I was at a bar with a girl that I had sexual interest in, and her female friend. I had to leave for like 45 minutes. When I came back she was making out with this guy that was at least twice her age, who was wearing mental-patient velcro sneakers. I had spoken to this guy once before, and I would bet he had never kissed a girl in his life. The way she was acting, it pretty much was designed to tease me.

I left. I had to pull over immediately because I had that broken-hearted feeling pretty badly. But she really turned me off with that, and I lost all interest in her.

I flip houses in New York City and Nassau County, and I invest with and learn from great people who are real estate masters. We're doing fine in this market.

I sent you a message to see if you might be interested in a meeting with us.

(I'm not sure if this is considered advertising, and I only want to be a positive member of this subreddit, but for anybody else who has cash or hard money- I can hook you up with pretty much the best deals in New York City and Nassau County. My mentors work directly with the banks, and sometimes sell to whales including a billionaire investor. Just to give more thorough disclosure, I am a licensed real estate salesperson, and I could benefit from you by receiving a commission if I show you properties and you buy one. I would prefer to talk to anyone interested through private message or phone.)

I hear you. I can't believe this is happening to poker. When they banned online poker, I was kind of assuming there was a master plan going on, where the U.S. government just wanted to get in on the action and make money. I'm really in a bad mood after seeing this White House official statement.

It is a serious question for the U.S. poker community: Where does Romney stand on U.S. poker, and online poker specifically?

I'm 6 days late, but I think this list could be a little better. There may be other things that could be improved; I don't know. But these are the moves I would make. I am not offended if this gets ignored.

Pierre-Paul instead of Fred Robbins, definitely. If he can play DT on a team that wins the Super Bowl, I'm pretty sure he can be listed as a DT.

Rolle instead of Wilson should be obvious in my opinion.

I'd put Cruz instead of Toomer or Burress. It's close and people will disagree, but I would put Nicks, Cruz, Burress in that order.

I found a part of the pdf on page 3 that summarizes it decently. Acknowledging that

it is surprisingly difficult to get a meaningful estimate of the total cost of the Afghan conflict, total spending on Afghan forces, and total spending on various forms of aid,

this pdf explains:

If the CRS and OMB figures for FY2001-FY2013 that follow are totaled for all direct spending on the war, they reach $641.7 billion, of which $198.2 billion – or over 30% – will be spent in FY2012 and FY2013. This is an incredible amount of money to have spent with so few controls, so few plans, so little auditing, and almost no credible measures of effectiveness.

It is also clear that the end effect has been to sharply raise the threshold of corruption in Afghanistan, to make transition planning far more difficult, and raise the risk that sudden funding cuts will undermine the Afghan government’s ability to maintain a viable economy and effective security forces.

There was another version of this, that I must be the only person in the world who saw, because it isn't even mentioned on the internet. It had Giants actually wearing their uniforms. 3 of them in particular were doing most of the dancing in it, and the only one I remember was #66 Roberts. I swear I'm not making this up.

Anyways, while I was trying to find that video, I found a cool article about why they couldn't wear their uniforms. I guess they destroyed the video that I saw because NFL made it illegal for them to release a video wearing their uniforms.

My grandfather (dad's dad) passed on the sports teams to the rest of the family. He started rooting for the Giants the first year they existed. The Jets didn't exist yet. I was taught from birth that the Giants are my team. I was 9 when we won in 1986.

As for fair weather fans, every sports team gets a ton of them when they are winning. I know a guy who is pretty into sports who was born a Bills/Knicks fan and is now a Patriots/Heat fan! He also talks a ton of trash.

Banks prefer short sales. Link 1 Link2 Link3 Here in New York, people fight foreclosure for years, and the bank has to pay for homeowners insurance and high taxes out of their own pocket for years. Long foreclosures also tie up money that the banks would like to have.

And I have never once heard of the bank going after a homeowner "for the deficient balance." The bank just simply takes their house back. There also isn't any bailout money on a foreclosed house.

EDIT: It looks like they teach everything computer related except for programming. I didn't delete this post though, in case you might still be interested.

I took classes at Career Institute of Health and Technology in Garden City. http://careerinstitute.edu/index.php?page=information-technology I loved the teachers- one in particular was one of those rare, special people.

I didn't take any classes in programming, as I consider that mind-numbingly boring. But I got my A+ certification there, and was working towards an MCSE when I realized it wasn't for me. My point really is that the price was right for the training you get- 1 class was about the price of 1 class at Nassau Community College (for a county resident.) And what's great is that if you put in the effort to talk to them, they help you find a job.

Since you don't have programming experience already, and I see this is about you finding a lucrative career, I'd like to suggest that you consider getting Cisco certified instead of learning programming. From what I understand, those guys are in demand, and they make great money.

Putting this subreddit into self-only mode is such a bad idea, that I can't believe there is even a discussion about it.

This subreddit is about doing, achieving, becoming great. It takes a couple of minutes to come to the subreddit, look at a few pictures, and a highly upvoted video, and go on with the rest of your day, on fire. But reading lengthy, time-consuming self-posts, that don't even motivate a large part of the members here, is counter-productive. And it encourages more lost time, because you may wind up writing a couple of paragraphs to respond to people sometimes.

Final thought: There is no need to "quit Reddit" like people sometimes advise here, if /r/motivated only takes a couple of minutes to motivate you!

They really should differentiate between that which comes out of your asshole in a flowing liquid, and that which is many droplets.

You ask "mind giving me a hand finding my inner domme?"

You have to want it. It would come naturally to you if you were really interested in this arrangement you have with this boyfriend. It sounds like femdom isn't what you want out of your relationship with him. I think you would prefer either 1) that he acts much more dominant, or 2) that you meet someone else.

I know most people would say "of course she wants to dominate him and own him. Who wouldn't?" But I'm just saying, the fact that you are in that situation with a stereotypical super-sub, and you haven't even started to dominate him, tells me that you don't want to!

I feel that sexuality in general develops naturally. Just like he developed into a guy who calls you Mistress, you developed into a woman who doesn't have his ass locked in her basement already. Straight, gay, submissive, dominant, etc- these aren't really choices!

Well there's not much substitute for actually being able to play. :) I mean, I did the chord one on my 2nd attempt without cheating. But if you really need a boost, the best thing you can do is pause the game, get your fingers situated, and keep doing that repeatedly. That can help you in ducks, super ducks, dawn of the chordead, big swing baseball, and maybe super slider.

On harmonically challenged, you pretty much have to write down the notes, because you won't be able to remember enough to get the achievement. Or I guess you could have a friend keep reading them off to you.

Super slider I hated, because I didn't enjoy it, and neither of my guitars could make the red string work properly. I stuck with it, and was able to get it done with a red string that usually didn't work! The best tip is to build up the screen early and often on purpose, to make huge combos early in the game. Keep doing that for as long as you can, until it gets too fast to mess around.

On Big Swing Baseball, I didn't bother bending strings at all. I just hit the note 1-3 notes away from the one it was telling me to play- depending on how big of a bend they wanted.

On Quick Pick Dash, you just have to practice. With practice you will get comfortable. I'd recommend trying Quick Pick Dash every time before you turn off Rocksmith, because if you are really practicing it, your wrist will be tired from it. I mute the neighboring strings with my left hand so that I can play faster without worrying about hitting the other strings.

The guitar in the picture is my good guitar, a 2010 Zakk Wylde Les Paul. I used a vintage Les Paul that had a repaired broken neck for most of my Rocksmith playing. I'm mainly a rhythm guitar player, and I really pound on a guitar, and I didn't want to destroy my $4000 guitar. Rocksmith is intense if you do it right. :)
