    [–] ELI5: Chicago has poor conditions for building due to the swampy soil underneath the city, so how are tall buildings like the Hancock and Sears/Willis towers built in these poor conditions? How were older buildings like the Tribune tower and Wrigley building built? docious 1 points ago in explainlikeimfive

    Access to the resort for a season

    [–] [Image] if you quit now docious 1 points ago in GetMotivated

    I switched to a new industry (that I enjoy more) and switched from what I think of as a very comfortable salary to basically commission only. I finished my first year last week and only made $24k in that 52 weeks period... however I have $30k in unpaid commissions that I should receive before the end of this calendar year. I estimate my next year will be 3+ times what I made in my first 52 weeks.

    Just hoping my little story might make a motivational post like this more real.

    Just. Keep. Going.

    You got this.

    [–] I accidentally scraped someone's vehicle, I came back to leave a note and they left. What do I do now? docious 2 points ago in legaladvice

    You’re painting a very bleak/harsh/worst case scenario that doesn’t at all sound likely given what OP wrote.

    In short, you’re being overly dramatic.

    [–] Bought a Basil plant yesterday, repotted it with potting soil, watered it, and put it by the window. After just one day it's already dying. Please help. docious 2 points ago in gardening

    The amount of eater for a single watering isn’t really something to worry about— just saturate it when you eater it. More importantly is you want the soil to get more or less completely dry between waterings.

    Don’t listen to this one OP

    [–] A Nebraska high school senior sent her graduation pictures to a photographer to create "angel pictures" of her and her father, an Army captain who died from an IED explosion in Afghanistan more than a decade ago. docious 2 points ago in pics

    When a redditor outs their own lack of humanity while thinking they are just being clever.

    I didn’t see them til I read this comment.

    [–] hmmm docious 1 points ago in hmmm

    The fact that we successfully discussed and identified two unique nuanced views of what the art could be about refutes that.

    Also I think you added an extra word in your comment but I think I interpreted it right.

    [–] hmmm docious 1 points ago in hmmm

    Why would it have to go over anybody’s head? It’s a nuanced piece of art with various potential interpretations. Im14andthisisdeep suggests that only a child would find it meaningful/deep...

    TL;dr: the /r/im14andthisisdeep is a tired trope of a comment and isn’t really even accurate most of the times it’s commented.

    Insofar as I can tell— it’s pretty clearly a double entendres referencing both the Disney brand’s role in dystopian capitalism and also Disney’s rumored Nazism/anti Semitic beliefs

    I don’t think most people on Reddit are aware of the accusation that Walt Disney was a closet Nazi. I don’t think he was one— but I don’t think most people are even aware of that old conspiracy theory.

    [–] Vaping may create dangerous toxins that temporarily reduce blood flow and damage blood vessels, according to a new study. What's more, these effects were seen when people used e-cigarettes that did not contain nicotine. docious 1 points ago in science

    This is in: inhaling chemical vapors is bad for you. In other news....

    [–] My boyfriends new apartment floods. It has soaked his bed a couple times and the bed is beginning to mold. Landlord won’t do anything to fix and is threatening to throw him out. docious 0 points ago in legaladvice

    It doesn’t sound like the basement is intended to be a bedroom so if the landlord is charging/marketing it as one it could be on her... otherwise stop sleeping in a basement.

    You don’t get it... it’s not what you know it’s who you know.

    That’s a funny way to write “I don’t get the meaning of this art”

    [–] Mother whines and complains after Florida teen arrested for making school shooting threats on video game docious 1 points ago in JusticeServed

    You are 100% correct regardless of whatever anybody responds to you with. It is only natural that she would want to protect her child... there really aren’t any winners here... there is very little to celebrate here.

    [–] Mother whines and complains after Florida teen arrested for making school shooting threats on video game docious 3 points ago in JusticeServed

    That’s because you have the empathy of a child. There is nothing going on that should bring anybody joy— it’s good that a potential threat is being taken care of but that’s different from something that you should “love to see”

    And if you are not a child than you should probably see a therapist to talk this out.

    [–] LPT: Never leave water bottles, reading glasses, or anything else that can focus light in a spot that could get direct sunlight. A significant number of house/vehicle fires happen every year because of this. docious 2 points ago in LifeProTips
