What are /r/cringepics' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

There's an ENTIRE album of that all ages club.

That's like a week's worth of cringe right there....well, perhaps not to us cringe junkies...

$2k cables?

I'm conflicted. On one hand, yikes.

On the other hand, you really have to respect her for being so up-front and giving fair warning about her issues. She deserves props for doing that. Most people wouldn't, and she probably saved some guy a lot of unexpected suffering thanks to that thoughtfulness.

Also, you just know some guys are going to call her anyway, because she's got a piercings and she's not fat.

For your own sanity, it's best to remain ignorant. But if you really want to fall down a terrifying rabbit hole, here you go.

Nah, it's actually the most common reference for anorexia on the Internet. Tons of forums that specialize in "Pro-ana" discussions, basically people that glorify eating disorders

I'm pretty sure this is actually a fake post though. The tag "ana" is banned from public searching on Tumblr, along with "ED" and "self harm". The only person who could have found this post was someone who already followed her and in that case they would know her name was Ana.

This is the message you get when you search Ana on Tumblr

Rate My Professor, a website which allows college students (and anyone with an internet connection, really) to 'rate' professors based on factors. It's horribly unreliable due to the fact that students who fail classes invariably blame the professor for being 'too difficult.'

I'm not religious, but I minored in religious studies in college anyway. Most religious texts are fascinating, the Old Testament in particular; in my opinion, people who claim that religious texts are "boring" are either just trying to be edgy or have failed to understand the text (especially the OT works, which are anything but boring).

I recommend picking up the Oxford study bible or a similar version, which has footnotes that explain the metaphors and stuff like that. It's good for someone who doesn't have a lot of background in reading religious texts and would need some analysis alongside them.

square (adj.) c.1300, "containing four equal sides and right angles," from square (n.). Meaning "honest, fair," is first attested 1560s; that of "straight, direct" is from 1804.

Almost. It's a concept of a young Yoda.

5 minutes of "Hey guys what's up? It's ya boi! Make sure you smash like and subscribe. Hit that notification bell, check out my Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitch, Facebook, Myspace, Google me, and check out my Snapchat for daily updates!"

And don't forget the 5 minutes at the end "Thanks to our sponsors at NordVPN [insert spiel about VPNs] and make sure you subscribe and smash that like button. Let's see if we can get this video up to 50k likes guys, that'll really help out the channel!"

Snapprefs is the one I've heard most about, but I think there are a few others too. Snapprefs seems to do loads more than just silently saving media/taking screenshots. I can't really vouch for any of the modules since I don't use Snappchat. (And note, Snapchat is trying to prevent root and xposed users from using the app, but I did a quick google search and it seems to be more or less trivial to get around that.)

E: The stealth screenshot thing seems to be part of their "deluxe" features. I'm not sure what that means, probably that you have to pay for them.

Different than ground beef. Tartar is normally ground from particular cuts.

I was speaking of store bought ground, which has been known to contain all sorts of bad stuff.

From an article: Undercooking steaks may increase your risk of food poisoning, but ground beef is more problematic. Bacteria can get on the meat during slaughter or processing. In whole cuts such as steak or roasts, the bacteria tend to stay on the surface, so when you cook them, the outside is likely to get hot enough to kill any bugs. But when beef is ground up, the bacteria get mixed throughout, contaminating all of the meat—including what’s in the middle of your hamburger.

It's hardly a "misuse" of the word and we certainly didn't misspeak. In addition to the google definition (the one in the post), Dictionary.com, Encyclopedia Britannica and presumably every other up-to-date source defines it broadly as a couple and their children. It was quite deliberate, and in context, which you would assume most functioning adults would consider, it is not at all offensive.

Op, if you have any difficulty pressing the button to make a screenshot, let me help you. If you have a computer with Windows on it (XP, Vista,7 or 8) or a Mac I recommend Puush. Link: http://puush.me/. It instantly creates snapshots of your screen and you decide what area. No need to paste it into paint anymore! It also lets you upload it directly to keep your harddrive free from screenshots.
From their site: Use keyboard shortcuts or drag-drop gestures to quickly capture any portion of your screen. These screenshots are near-instantly puush'd, leaving behind a short URL in your clipboard, perfect for sharing. Paste these easily into your Twitter, IRC or IM clients. Share them with the world or make them private, for your eyes only. Hope this helps you and us in the future of postsharing.

Juxtaposition is, "the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect" and I was having a go at fat people by saying I perceived no contrasting effect. What's your point?

"A few months later, as Turner sat in jail waiting to be sentenced, something astonishing happened. Police investigating a new rape compared the alleged attacker’s DNA with samples from other sex crimes, and found a match. It was Turner, who of course had an ironclad alibi — he was in jail.

Was Turner innocent all along? Against astronomical odds, could there really be another rapist with his DNA profile in the Milwaukee area? If so, that would shatter the entire premise of DNA technology.

As it turned out, the DNA was indeed Turner’s. Milwaukee authorities discovered a clever scam:

Turner, determined to cast doubt on the science upon which his conviction was based, had smuggled a sample of his own semen out of jail,"

Brown is a pedantic prick. And he's wrong about the "flaw" thing - it's actually a result of the brain assembling an image based on imperfect vision. Your eyes cannot focus on everything at once so your brain assembles the rest based on what it does see. Without this ability we would have large blank spots instead of a full frame of view.

Another result of this so-called flaw is that we can register an entire word without actually having to focus on each letter, allowing us to read faster. The brain can comprehend words incredibly fast but is limited by our eyesight. If we were to look at every single letter we would read very slow. See the following link to understand how fast your brain can understand words when you are not limited to conventional text placement - http://www.spritzinc.com/about/

LOL, no the wifi is so you can control the bed with your phone instead of the remote it comes with. I find it handy because once I raise the head I can't reach the table to put down the remote. This way I can just do it with my phone or tablet. I know this is a total first world problem. "Oh no I can't reach the remote for my $9,000 bed and I want to raise my feet 3 inches, FML!"

Nobody has replied yet and I'm starting to feel bad. See here: https://images.google.com/ and https://www.tineye.com/. Both sites let you do a "reverse image search", where you provide an image and it attempts to match it online. Google images indexes billions of pages and has a very, very high success rate. Most every picture you've seen online would be found.

I just use these.

Dropped one briefly into a full sink and have showered with them at least 50 times.

I just gently pat them dry when I'm done and try to not put them in the charging case (which is also waterproof) until they are dry.

Theyre cheap, so quality control might not be great, but mine have been fantastic and as advertised.

You're wrong walls of a bathroom stall are one of the greatest forums for the exchange of ideas. I bet if Aristotle was around today all of the Nicomachean Ethics would be found on one of these walls.

Adam Smith wrote "The Wealth of Nations" and paved the way for capitalism in Europe.

here's a conversation on NPR about it

https://edition.cnn.com/2017/08/17/politics/tbt-clinton-grand-jury-testimony/index.html

Quote:

The question: "Whether or not Mr. Bennett knew of your relationship with Ms. Lewinsky, the statement that there was 'no sex of any kind in any manner, shape or form, with President Clinton,' was an utterly false statement. Is that correct?"

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is," Clinton responded.

Holy shit, when I was in college I charged $60 flat.

That got you:

• 1 1/2 to 2 hour shoot time

• ALL the photos taken with no limit on how many I gave them.

• DVD with with original resolution photos.

And even with it only being $60 I still had people try and haggle me down because, "Dude we're friends" or this one particular asshole who refused to return the DVD of the shots, but also wanted a refund...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/blondeguy/ if anyone is interested, but I'm not whoring myself out. I went back to shooting for a hobby instead because money involved just made me bitter.

It's pretty racist that you'd specify African Americans. There's no need for that. Also, you may wanna check your sources instead of just spouting wtv [ http://www.openculture.com/2014/11/harvard-students-fail-the-literacy-test.html ]. And honestly, you sound pretty fucking pompous.

Seriously, the above image contains a bastardized George Carlin quote and every time it gets mentioned on this website there is always someone who has to rush in and explain how average and median are different things. Thing is though, human intelligence is normally distributed, which means that the median and the average are the same thing. So even though the quote is just generalized and not supposed to be literal, it is still technically correct.

What?

Egalitarianism: "a belief in human equality especially with respect to social, political, and economic affairs" Source

Feminism: "the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes" Source

How can you believe in political, economic and social equality for all humans without believing in political, economic and social equality for the sexes? You can't, so you cannot be egalitarian without being feminist.

I've never actually tried one, but now I'm curious.

There's this one which only takes stills, but it's motion-activated, which is cool.

And here's a motion-activated app that records video.

Of course, you could always just start the video recording app and leave the phone rolling while the screen is off. You'd have to prop it up on your desk somehow either way. This method would just be slower to wade through the results.

You can install a separate camera app without the shutter sound. UVA Silent Camera is handy.

At work, I sometimes have to get the serial off the backs of computers that are under desks while people are sitting at nearby desks. It weirds people out if the guy next to you puts his phone under the desk and you start hearing the shutter sound.

My uncle owned a very expensive digital camera around '96-97, which I used to create a picture of myself for my geocities page. You had to manually transfer it from the hard drive in the camera to a computer using a SCSI cable, and we had to reduce the picture quality immensely to even upload it. Looked like a selfie, but wasn't though, as my uncle actually took the picture. He wouldn't let me touch that camera.

Still, it was hardly unique, as I only got the idea from others with Tripod and Geocities pages. And I think people must have used even earlier digital cameras and scanners to post some crappy quality pictures of themselves to bulletin boards and Usenet groups.

And it's not like people weren't narcissistic before the digital age, even in the 1800's: https://imgur.com/iSo2gAM

I recall a couple of articles about it. His name is David Wirtschafter. I've tried to find the info, but several links have "disappeared". Here's a screen shot someone kept about the info, though.

It helped Kanye cultivate an image of "Oooo! He's a naughty guy!", and simultaneously boosted Swift's central theme: "Poor Taylor! Men always mistreat her!". All this, while keeping them in headlines for well over a week.

He caused himself 300 pains to get those jeans. Maybe he found one of those mom and pop clothes stores where they'll offer goods in exchange for being allowed to cause some pain?

I'm on Windows 10 and fully updated. This thread is the first time I realized that Microsoft just straight up literally doesn't have any emojis implemented for most of the flags. I was going to call it homophobic as a joke but then I realized that's actually one of about five that they do have lmao

I'm not sure if you're aware, but basically the emoji standard is always being updated, and it's up to each individual company to ensure they keep adding to their emoji resources in a timely manner. It's not perfectly uniform across platforms, which is also why you can see different styles on different devices.

I watch them carefully from their front window as they read the reaction they have determines how and when I kill most occasions I even leave the letter at the scene of the crime.....I am not in my 40s nor am I even that's not what bothers me the bothers me the most is if I had used NordVPN on those websites, I would still be working at that animal shelter.

NordVPN is the only way to go!

I cut off contact with the person, not by choice. Then I read a lot; most books by Alexandre Dumas, specifically the unabridged version of The Count of Monte Cristo several times, most of Alan Watts' books, Buddhist books by D.T. Suzuki and others, Siddhartha, some things by Camus, Moby Dick, Mindfulness in Plain English, a lot PUA stuff (which is bullshit mainly but the question of how to improve is valid), some nonfiction works like The Prehistory of the Mind, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, The Chalice and the Blade, others books, a shit ton of articles from Psychology Today, etc. I isolated myself during this time. I meditated. I began taking psychedelics. I started running and got fit. I hugged some trees and I liked it. Then things just snowballed from there: I became more social, started having more sex, met a cool chick whom I love, etc.

That was my process. I guess I overcame it by loving myself a little more, building myself, and cultivating my mind in silence, without external influence and only intrinsic motivation. I'm still a dick sometimes. I'm still an odd fellow, but in a good way; probably in the best way. I'm my own person.

It wasn't a thing to overcome; it was more about no longer lingering on false things.

edit: It wasn't about the person either. She was just a symptom.

It's a very convoluted way to type, and a lot of what you said in response to him wasn't really necessary to the point of the conversation. I suggest you buy and read On Writing by Stephen King. A lot of good advice for aspiring authors or in general anyone who just writes.

It's cringey because it reads like there's a thesaurus at your desk. Way over-doing it.

Come to think of it, I've met far more atheistic Jews than Jewish people who believe. Even the "practicing" Jews I know don't have any faith in a god. This seems to be a fairly common post-Holocaust belief, one which Viktor Frankl discusses in Man's Search for Meaning.

I have a cheap projector I got from Amazon I use outside and it's only $150, made by some Chinese company. It's actually 1080P native and if I was willing to forgo that, it would've been even cheaper. Projectors are dirt cheap these days even you're willing to compromise on quality, which, for using outside, it'd not even a major concern.

I linked the product but it's not exactly an endorsement. And take the reviews with a grain of salt because shortly after I purchased it, they send me a postcard promising $50 GC if I leave a 5* review. I had already left a 5* review at that point, heavily factoring in the price and the acceptable quality. I didn't change it, but who knows how many reviewers got the offer before leaving a review. But the point is, you can get a cheap projector suitable for outside viewing for around $100-150.

Agreed. I was just pointing out that some people live without water. A very unhealthy lifestyle. But they do.

Ah so it is the feeling of a liquid. Do you have some kind of skin condition? When did it start, if you don't mind me asking? Because if I had a child that hated taking a bath and wasn't able to express why they were feeling upset/uncomfortable I would be very confused.

Dang. That is a very difficult situation. I know they have waterless soap. Have you tried that?

Having worked at a retirement home it was something we used with people that weren't mobile.

There are a lot of shitty, free to use VPNs that absolutely steal and sell user data. Pay to use services, like NordVPN, or ExpressVPN shouldn't have this problem, but we can't really know unless the code is open source. It is uncommon for a shitty new free VPN to show up, accrue a few hundred, or thousand users. Steal the user data (passwords, email addresses, etc) and then disappear.

Looks like a magnetic arm for holding a smart phone or tablet.

Something like this

For people who are vulnerable, unsafe, or roping with serious emotional trauma, they absolutely need to be able detach from toxic people in their lives.

Full stop.

For the rest of us, we should be aware we live in an increasingly tribalized society where we may be one of the few or last anchors to reason, rationality, and humanity. The last thread keeping them from a media hatred machine that radicalizes vulnerable people.

And there is no better person to reach these people than those they love. But if the person they love doesn’t have an effective, field-tested persuasion technique at their disposal, they are doomed to fail.

This is why — for those of us who have the motivation and composure to fight — we need to be strategic to steal voters from the other side and add them to our own.

And we can only do that by using techniques that work. This book is packed with the science of how minds change and showcases the field-tested technique that has the highest conversion rate.

I don’t blame you for thinking you can’t change people’s minds. The instinctual way we typically go about it is maddening and frustrating because it’s like talking to a brick wall. Which somehow feels worse than if you had never even tried in the first place.

But there is a counter-intuitive method for changing minds that has been field tested. It doesn’t work 100% of the time, but when it does, the effects are durable. It’s a type of formalized strategic Socratic questioning where you provide a “safe space” for the other person (yes, I’m aware of the irony). I’m unable to give the thorough methodology here, but if you want to help convert some to our side, check out the book How Minds Change by David McRaney.

there you go.

I actually use G-Board so like you ಠ isn't one of the options. The app I use for reddit has those emoticons built in:

This is bad...but honestly, not as bad as Rachel Ray's Late Night Bacon recipe or her $20 "garbage bowl".

For anyone genuinely curious about the nuance to this position, there's a wonderful movie called Pervert Park about released perpetrators of sex crimes and their experience re-assimilating.

Warning it's very tough watch as there are descriptions of truly heinous crimes, but it is also a very humanizing and interesting film.

The Amazon reviews are absolute gold from the true believers.

"In the battle with my neighbor's 5gHz cable hotspot, I have tried many things. The pendants worked well outside the house with the usual cacophony of EMF noise, but my house was being invaded. I couldn't sleep, I was sick, it sounded like a jackhammer in my brain..."

This is just one example. You can find more further down. Enjoy?

Sure. First one is always work top to bottom so hair first. I shampoo with the Paul Mitchell tea tree stuff. Then, I use the aveno apricot scrub on my face and work it in with an exfoliating pad. Then I let it sit on my face.

While the shampoo and face mask do their thing I wet my (charcoal infused) luffa with the Nutrogena body clear body wash and start at my neck and in a circular motion work my way down to my ankles. Then I rinse the shampoo out and rinse my body off.

Next step is putting the conditioner in my hair and massaging it in. While it sits I get a pumice stone (I’ll leave a link for good one below) and scrub the bottoms of my feet with it. The ones I found are fantastic and have a heavy duty side and a polish side. After that I let some body wash into my hands and wash my feet off. Then one extra rinse and I get out.

Important next step is lotion. Find one that’s not greasy and steer clear of cheap brand like Vaseline. I use this Bath & Body works lotion with Ocean scent. It’s very important to get atleast your face and feet with lotion. Anywhere you exfoliate needs lotion or your skin dries out and looks bad.

If you do this and get a good luffa and body wash and shampoo ahead of it, it will become muscle memory after like a week of doing it.

Even in houses here where wearing shoes inside is the norm, it's still usually understood that you're expected to remove your shoes at the door if they are noticeably dirty/muddy/snowy/etc.
I'm pretty casual about shoes inside at my house, but I'm not letting anyone track mud through. If you can't get it cleaned off with the hedgehog, you've got to take them off.

It came back on Cartoon Network. Specifically Toonami (which starts around the same time adult swim does). According to some, they decided to cancel it in 2009 due to some kid who suffocated in a sandbox imitating Gaara's Sand Coffin jutsu (Video link for those who don't want to read), but I have no definitive/reliable source for that, so I may very well be wrong. I also read that they stopped showing it for a while so they can prepare more Shippuden episodes, so that could be the case too (I personally believe the latter)

Hello, I'm a bot! The movie you linked is called How Did You Get Here?, here are some Trailers

no no no.

you can advocate for it. you just can't say "should be pronounced", since there's no reason whatsoever it should sound like the word it happens to be derived from.

Oh and for reference, it's not derived from there, it's invented as "meme" with the pronounciation rhyming with cream from the Greek mimeisthai (and an intent to echo gene). So "mee-mei" is a more valid pronounciation than "mem", and "meme" is more valid than either since there's no basis for the argument from etymology.

(EDIT: i'll source that, just in case; http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=meme&allowed_in_frame=0 sourced from the oxford etymology dictionary, with a direct quote from The Selfish Gene.)

If you'd like to talk about why you think etymology should determine pronounciation and attempt to establish a case there, feel free, it could be interesting and I love etymology.

Oh my goodness- that first time you look in the mirror and you realize you can see your jawbone, you feel like a model. I guarantee that you are going to look and feel so gorgeous. You probably have the weightloss stuff figured out, but my personal tip is to not necessarily stop eating the stuff you love, but to cut down on your portions by 50 to 75% (depending on what it is). That's what I did/still do and it really helps. My boyfriend also uses myfitnesspal and has had great results with that.

Keep going with it! You're going to feel great- not only because you lost the pounds, but because you know you have the willpower to do it! Good luck, and the internet is cheering for you! :)

Just do everything in mills instead of fractions: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousandth_of_an_inch Then get a decimal tape measure: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0859JR8KC/ That way you can keep using inches and feet (like your coworkers), but avoid friggin fractions.

Unsurprisingly, the diamond thing isn't accurate. Sierra Leone isn't even in the top 10 of countries that have the largest number of diamonds, and barely squeaks in at #10 for profits from diamonds.

Based on that logic, we should have started Ebola epidemics in Russia and Botswana instead.

I don't really care if my ISP or advertisers know I watch porn, though. Like I said, it's mostly to keep it out of my auto-complete.

Were I really to be paranoid and/or do crime, I'd probably use an OS like Qubes or Tails, and do everything over Tor and/or other anonymizing networks, as well as whatever other precautions I don't yet know about, but which I'd read up on first. ;)

That paper is stretching the scientific method nearly to the point of being pure conjecture. I'd hardly say a single paper debunks the mountain of opposing evidence.

Back in 1861, South Carolina, along with numerous other slave states, seceded from our nation when they learned that the Republican (the social equivalent of a Democrat, now) Abraham Lincoln was elected President. They believed (quite wrongly, actually) that Lincoln would pursue an anti-slavery agenda. These states banded together to form the Confederate States of America. The Confederates used this flag originally as a battle flag, and then put it on their national flag. So, basically, to anyone who isn't a white Southerner, it represents support for slavery, racism, and treason.

Uh oh, did I trigger a racist homophobe?

That’s too bad. Thought we were on the same page. Guess not. Also you think Reddit is the most popular website in the world? What reality do you live in lmao. Barely breaks into the top 20. 😂

Edit: ah, you ARE homophobic. Damn I struck a nerve lmao

No, they are referring to minors. Which means anyone under the age of majority. Some states have that as 18 and some as 16. So a 15 year old, as in the OP still counts.

Also, I guarantee there were text messages and online communication involved. This means even more charges as using electronic devices to solicit a minor carry even more penalties.

If they exchanged nudes, the dude could face some major time. Look up the longest prison sentences on record, the majority all involve decades in prison for child porn.

“State laws pertaining to minors identify the "age of majority" in each state (usually 18),”

Far from the people having fun ruining games - people who take games too seriously ruin them. Games are a leisure activity for people to blow off steam when they get back from work and before they do the dishes and laundry.

no disrespect to you here (your english actually isn't bad), but i just thought i'd point some things out.

the word "many" is used for referring to countable objects. otherwise, you would use "much." so in that first sentence, you should actually say "too much attention." here's a link to help you out:
http://www.gingersoftware.com/content/grammar-rules/adjectives/much-vs-many/

and although i suppose using "many times" in your second sentence would be grammatically correct, it sounds very awkward. a better phrase would be "a lot of the time," or even just "often."

once again, just trying to be helpful here. as someone who's currently learning a language myself, i think i would appreciate being corrected like that. keep it up :)

Libertarians are naive as babies when it comes to corporate behavior. They believe that government is always bad and private interests are always good.

Libertarians have no answer for things like the Bhopal disaster, or the abnormally-high rates of cancer in Louisiana's cancer alley. As both are caused by powerful private enterprise, there is no way for an individual to fight them.

Hilarious that you're telling everyone to Google something you yourself need to google. That's exactly what those words mean. Jealousy is when you're worried someone will take something from you. You're envious of other people's things. You can Google this shit in like 5 seconds. But please feel free to prove me wrong.

Mind linking me to some legit articles to back this up, pal. I've tried searching for articles from trusted websites and cannot seem to find anything that suggests the use of directed energy weapons on civilians. Also, this person isn't mentally ill (not diagnosed, anyway). He's my cousins delusional friend who is also a racist, homophobic, conspiracy theorist. I can show you proof of this if you like.

This is the link to the article he posted which literally starts off with "First, all 315 million Americans are targeted individuals. They are in an electro-magnetic concentration camp, under unbreakable electronic mind control."

I understand some people enjoy conspiracy theories but until they have actual proof they're nothing other than theories.

Here's the archived version if anyone prefers it.

I looked up the article out of curiosity. It is basically an amalgamation of random plus-sized women commenting on their personal dating experiences.

I didn't have any issue with any of their views. All of them were very reasonable. They were honest about who they did and didn't find attractive, but they didn't say other people couldn't have preferences either. Most even felt guilty over it, even though they shouldn't. Sexual preferences are fine, just don't expect everyone to be attracted to you. That makes you an ass.

Wow, you're right... They're pretty bad.

I was expecting worse though... Then again, I couldn't stand looking at anymore after the 4th I raped / was raped picture.

A lot of the MacBooks from like 2008 to like 2014 look really similar. While the oldest ones (probably the ones your company recycles) aren't worth much, the newer ones with the same design can go for several hundred $$$.

In this hypothetical male football cheerleader team, would they just re-use the female outfits? Or maybe have them wear leotards... something like this?
