Reddit is the most addicting thing I have ever experienced, thankyou Jay!

I will check out that app, redditisfun is alright but not amazing

I guess you browse the rest of the site aside from moderating the /r/relationships?

Yeah. I moderate /r/relationships /r/ihaveissues /r/breakups /r/dating_advice /r/relationship_tips and /r/gamernews (being a big gamer)

Aside from those I frequent /r/foreveralone a lot, possibly the most depressing place in the world. New guys coming here think they have issues...... I try my best to help out some of the guys in there. I also use /r/gaming and /r/music /r/worldnews /r/pics /r/comics and /r/iama a lot.

/r/assistance helped me out once during a rough period, I help people out occasionally there myself, depending on circumstances and if I get there first.

Spend a lot of time in /r/googleplus at the moment.

I'm sure there's a lot more I use it for... Writing this list is a little scary to be honest, I have no idea how I have time for all of this, without my phone moderating would take up all of my time in itself.

As for "it's great"... Yeah it can be, I have love/hate relationship with reddit, hivemind and groupthink behaviour can be a bitch at times.

I like /r/explainlikeim5 , /r/askReddit , /r/askScience , /r/itookapicture , /r/todayIlearned , /r/iama , /r/self , /r/doesanybodyelse

I may check out some you mentioned.. Some of the comments on the site are hilarious, some are very moving/emotional.. I can't believe I'd never heard of the site until you mentioned it on here..

There is some useful resources there, but only if you can hold back the vomit from all the circle jerking that goes on. I dont know how you put up with it Jay.
I ignore it altogether or get into arguments that involve 500 people clicking a little down arrow while telling me I'm wrong.

Reminding myself that I'm having a political/social debate with someone that often isn't even old enough to vote , or is only going to be able to vote for the first time shortly is often enough to get through the bs. There are however some fantastic people that frequent the site too, generally over 25. I understand that makes me a bit of a hypocrit, not even being from that age demographic. But I do speak generally.

The problem with reddit is that, while the actual spread of users is incredibly diverse and often full of very intelligent people it suffers from the same problem the offline world suffers from - idiots are often the largest group and like to shout the loudest.. We've all seen pub debates right? "I AM LOUDER THEREFORE I AM RIGHT" sort of behaviour?

I avoid going deep into comment threads that are clearly going downhill. 3 deep is often enough.

The subs I moderate are full of some rather extreme rules, especially compared to other subreddits, we police them extremely heavily to ensure the bullshit that happens on the rest of reddit doesn't infect us. As a result we've got some of the most loyal users on reddit. I'm pretty confident in saying that /r/relationships is probably the best place on the internet for people to get proper advice.. Though that's a bit bias, I have faith in our community and often it's spot on.

tl;dr: Patience and practice. It probably helps that I was originally a digger, there was a lot of hate sent our way when we had the exodus a year ago which I think immunised me to reddit's bs.

Peace,

Just been looking at Orange dongles, and saw this: Huawei E367 dongle | Choose your dongle | Orange shop

It says "uses HSPA+ technology for faster speeds".

As far as I'm aware, Orange don't operate on HSPA+?

The sky is the limit, people even have it set up to do stuff like wake their laptop when they attach it to their phone by usb. Crazy fly contextual control.

both sound pretty bad ass


love makin sh*t happen!

having had an iphone and now got an android
i would say the most useful app ive used on both especially for dating is
'Around Me'
it ties into google maps -- so say you tell some chick you are gonna meet her at such n such a bar in a strange city/town whatever-- you go park up somwhere near
go through bars and select the bar name in the app and it directs you on google maps to it
also really useful if you think- shit i need a chemist, it will find and take you to the nearest one
i love it anyhow


Make it Happen
