In Corvallis, Oregon, a 19-year-old is facing a public indecency charge that might put her behind bars for filming herself masturbating in the campus library of Oregon State University.

Oregon State Police charged student Kendra Sunderland on Tuesday after obtaining footage of her video, which shows Sunderland flashing and mooning the camera several times and touching herself. The video was taken in October on the sixth floor of OSU’s Valley Library. (She was a student at the time of the video’s production, though now, as The Smoking Gun has indicated, she is not currently enrolled in classes.)

How To Be A Good Friend

$

best friends

by Nick Notas

Good friends are family.

They aren’t just buddies we have a fun time with but people we treat like our own blood. They can be profound connections that are forged for a lifetime.

I remember sitting in the car with my girlfriend and a close friend when he opened up to us. “Listen, you know how much I care about my mom and brother. They have the best intentions but sometimes they don’t truly understand me. But you both do. And I want you to know that you’re my family, too.”

It was one of the most honest and meaningful statements someone had ever said to me.

The other day I was excited to see a “How to Be a Good Friend” article appear in my feed. Reading through it was severely disappointing for a topic so important. When I searched for similar articles on Google, I was amazed to see how many contained idealistic advice that lacked any substance.

Here’s my list of ground rules that I follow to be a good friend.

  1. Don’t be a fair-weather friend. You have to maintain your own life and set boundaries for your time. However, being there only when it’s beneficial or convenient for you is selfish. Friendship should be a mutually valuable connection.

    This especially applies when starting a new relationship. Don’t forget about your friends or let your partner dictate who you’re allowed to see. Even though you have less free time, keep in touch and make plans when you can. How can you expect the friends you ignore to welcome you with open arms if the relationship ends?

  2. Never pressure or guilt them into something they don’t want to do. And don’t allow it to happen to you, either. Everyone has to take responsibility for their actions, but we’re easily influenced by our close friends.

    Back in the day, some friends thought it was funny to push our already drunk buddy to take a huge dose of shrooms. He then had an intense mental breakdown, sobbed for hours, got caught by his father, and was taken to the hospital. Moral of the story: recognize when a friend is being pushed too far and respect their wishes.

  3. Be happy for their success, even if it’s something you wanted. Don’t be another crab in the bucket. I see this especially when dealing with self-improvement and confidence with women. Men get jealous that they aren’t pushing themselves and try to deter others from excelling. Support your friends in all their productive endeavors. Don’t let your own insecurities prevent you from being fair and supportive.
  4. Don’t talk about them behind their back. If you have a problem with a specific person, speak to them directly. You have no right to complain if you haven’t addressed the issue with the right party. Also, when you speak behind someone’s back, the listener is usually wondering what you say behind their back. Which leads me to—¦
  5. Don’t fault them for what they don’t know. Give your friend a chance to resolve the issue or share their side. They may not even realize they’re doing something wrong until you explain it to them.
  6. Listen intently. That means much more than hearing the literal words coming out of their mouth. Care deeply, be genuinely interested, and empathize with their emotions. Most of all, listen without judgment.
  7. Be a source of positivity. It’s perfectly okay to express when you’re feeling down. But always being cynical, whiny, and negative is taxing to those around you. Your endless drama will eventually lose its impact and become a burden. We’re attracted to friends that enhance our quality of life.
  8. Give them space when necessary. Just like in dating, nobody wants to deal with a clingy person. If they can’t spend time with you, don’t hound them about it. If they never make time to see or even speak to you, then they’re not as great a friend as you think.
  9. Communicate honestly. Let them know when they’re crossing your boundaries. Be a voice of reason when they’re acting irrationally. When asked for an opinion, give them a constructive yet candid response.

    Don’t just tell them what they want to hear, tell them what they need to hear. Say your friend’s girlfriend dumped him because he was treating her poorly. Don’t tell him, “You’re way too good for her anyway.” Instead, go with the truth, “I understand this sucks. But, you have to admit you weren’t investing that much time in her.” It may be hard to hear but a true friend will appreciate your input.

  10. Keep your word. Don’t share their secrets. Follow through and show up when you say you will. Be someone they can count on. Your word is your bond and it’s the most powerful tool you own. Once you break it, it’s extremely hard to get back —” and sometimes you’ll never regain it at all.
  11. Stand up for them when disrespected. If your friend is the instigator, no one is asking you to jump in. But if someone is attacking them, you should be there to help. That could mean telling them to walk away or speaking up. Most men know this rule but overlook that it applies with women, too.

    I’ve called out and walked away from many girls that were rude to a friend. Unfortunately, I’ve also watched many men stay silent or even playfully join in against their companions. Then they try to defend their actions as “I’m just having fun!” No, all I see is a guy who’s so desperate for sex that he disregards his friend’s feelings.

  12. Never hook up with their ex without talking to them first. If you care about your friend, you owe that much to him. If he gives you the go-ahead, awesome. If he doesn’t, you’ll have to decide if she’s worth it but understand that you may lose your friendship.

    I had a friend who pursued a girl I dated the day after we broke up. When I confronted him about it he said, “All is fair in love and war.” I would have given him my approval but his lack of respect was hurtful. Needless to say, he’s not a friend anymore.

  13. Give when you can but not when you can’t. Only guarantee your time and effort when possible and reasonable for you. It’s better to set your limits than backtrack on your promises. You shouldn’t feel entitled to the same from your friend, either.     
  14. When you give, do it with no strings attached. The worst thing you can do is help someone out and expect something in return. It shows that you only did that favor for selfish, manipulative reasons. If you can’t give freely, you shouldn’t give at all.
  15. Don’t be desperate for their approval. Do you know how awkward it is to have someone constantly trying to impress you out of insecurity? You don’t need to “win” friends over. You just need to treat them with respect and have a fun time together. A real friend likes you for who you are and not what you can offer them.
  16. Know when to distance yourself from negative influences. Cutting ties with friends is painful but sometimes necessary for your mental health. You have to be aware of when someone is adding unnecessary stress, using, or abusing you. If you’ve already addressed your feelings more than once and nothing has changed, it may be time to separate yourself —” at least for a while.

    Part of being a friend is self-preservation and surrounding yourself with good company.

  17. Be a great wingman and never fight over women. You should be assisting each other in meeting women, not sabotaging one another’s chances. Only insecure men try to one-up their friends, tear them down, or steal the girl they’re talking to.
  18. Educate and grow with each other. I can talk about anything with my best friends. Yes, we enjoy bro-ing out about video games and hot women (who doesn’t?) But we also have deep conversations about humanity, our greatest fears, and becoming a better person.

    We’ve shared our life lessons, insights, and failures. We discuss ideas that benefit all of us. We aren’t afraid to open up and be vulnerable because we trust each other. And our lives are enriched because of it.

What happened to Detroit?

The decline of the American automobile industry was not helpful, but it was not the primary cause of Detroit’s decline, which started beforehand, and was not reversed or slowed during the 90s SUV boom when the Big 3 were making record profits, increasing their market share, and hiring new workers. Rather, the first major event that caused Detroit to become what it is today was the race riot of 1967, in which so much of the city was burned that it resembled a war zone, thousands of businesses were looted, snipers took pot shots at white people on the streets, and President Johnson literally had to send in the army with tanks and live ammunition to restore order. The trend of “white flight” immediately hit Detroit harder than anywhere else in the nation, as white (ex-)residents, and many middle-class blacks, understandably, feared for their lives.

The shift in racial composition meant that Detroit elected its first black mayor, Coleman Young, in 1973, and he would continue in that role until 1994. Unfortunately, Young was an extremist demagogue who was openly hostile to whites, and what remained of the white population quickly left during his tenure, taking almost the entire Detroit property tax base with them, leaving the city unable to pay for basic services like street cleaning, garbage pickup, the fire department, etc. Young also made the main theme of his mayorality harassing, cutting funding for, limiting the operations of, and attempting to sue or prosecute members of the police force.* With the police cowed into submission and most of the force’s veterans intimidated into quitting, criminals could act with impunity, and Detroit quickly gained a reputation as the most dangerous city in America, and was hit harder by the crack epidemic and related gang violence than pretty much anywhere else. Young did nothing to stop this crime wave and only continued his demagogic campaign against the police as it happened. The mayors that followed Young were arguably even worse. Thus, Detroit as it has been for the last 40 years.

Why is exercise that increases my heart rate considered good, but medication and narcotics that increase my heart rate are considered bad?

Narcotics (opiates) do not typically increase the heart rate, but drugs like cocaine and meth do, as they cause a sympathetic surge (adrenaline rush). Regarding cocaine, it not only causes an increased heart rate but it can cause your coronary arteries (the blood vessels to your heart) to constrict (squeeze), resulting in heart attacks due to not enough blood and oxygen getting to the cardiac tissue. Additionally, cocaine has been shown to accelerate the process of atherosclerosis (plaque build-up inside arteries) which can lead to heart attacks as well. In other words, you can make your 20 year old arteries look like those of a 60 year old.

Additionally, with this surge comes an elevation in blood pressure, which can cause things like intracranial bleeding (head bleeds), aortic dissections (tears) and other not so fun things.

Regarding exercise, a temporary elevation is okay, to a degree, but you’re increasing your heart rate while your blood pressure stays the same, or increases slightly. You do not get the squeezing and constriction that cocaine can cause. Additionally, over time, with exercise, your resting heart rate will decrease as the heart molds itself and becomes more efficient. Your heart is essentially stronger as a result of exercise, so it needs to beat less frequently.

If anything, cocaine will make your heart weaker for the above mentioned reasons, which is the big difference. Along with all the other bad stuff drugs can do.

What happens to a persons creddit card debt when they die?

The basis for credit card debt is a person’s promise to repay the money. If they do not repay the money then the credit card company can sue them to get a judgment and then with that judgment try to collect the money that is owed.

When someone dies, a probate estate is created that contains all of their assets. When someone dies, the credit card companies no longer have a claim against the person, but now has a claim against their estate. Someone (usually a family member) is appointed as the administrator (also called executor/executrix) of their estate. This person is required to liquidate the assets of the probate estate, pay the creditors of the dead person, and then if there is any money left over, they are to distribute it to the people who will inherit money per the dead person’s will. (Or if no will, according to the laws of the state they are in).

So why can’t you just give all of your stuff away before you die to avoid paying your creditors? Two reasons: 1.) Many creditors have collateral (such as a mortgage on a house or a lien on a car). The creditor’s lien follows the collateral and so they can always come back and repossess/foreclose on the collateral. 2.) There is a concept in the law called a “fraudulent transfer”. This typically occurs when you give away your valuable assets or sell them for far under market value, thereby depriving your creditors of the ability to collect money from you. If you do this before you die, your creditors can (in theory) sue the people you gave/sold the stuff to, in order to undo the transfer and then get paid by selling that stuff.

What does a DJ actually do apart from choose the next song?

A club DJ has one job: keep people dancing. Sure, he can simply create a playlist and let them play through with a simple pause between each track, but that is not interesting to the ear and, more importantly, it would interrupt the dancing. It would be even worse if the tracks played one after the other with no break between. One moment, you’re dancing perfectly in time with the song, and the next you’re completely out of step. It’s far too jarring and it makes for a bad time on the dance floor.

Instead, a DJ will create a playlist and blend it together into one continuous song, allowing the people to dance without obstruction. To do this, the DJ adjusts the speed of the tracks as the playlist plays so that the tempos match up evenly. This allows the songs to play into each other seamlessly, thus, keeping the party going. Creative DJs can enhance the performance by finding surprising ways of mixing the tracks, utilizing anything from effects to original samples.

 Why does orgasm immediately end sexual desire in men but not women?

Evolutionarily, it’s to increase chances of having a baby. If a man continues to engage in intercourse after ejaculating, he risks inadvertently pushing the semen out of the way, making pregnancy more difficult. For a woman, if she orgasms first, she needs to stay interested until the man is done in order for there to be a chance of pregnancy. Because of these evolutionary needs, men have long “refractory periods” (lack of sexual desire after orgasm), whereas women either don’t have them or have really short ones. The exact cause of the refractory periods in terms of body chemistry is still up for debate.

 If you pull an all nighter, will you forever be behind in sleep until you make up for it?

When you miss an entire night of sleep or are under sleep deprivation for not getting enough sleep multiple nights in a row your body basically goes into extreme recovery mode the next time you get to sleep. This is called a REM rebound. On a normal healthy night your body goes through 4 stages of light to heavy sleep followed by a REM cycle. REM is when your mind gets a lot of its recovery time. The cycle goes from 1-2-3-4-REM then resets in different intervals throughout the night. You go through this process 4-5 times a night.

When you are “behind” on sleep your body basically skips the beginning of parts of the cycle and stays in REM sleep proportionally longer than usual. You also dream during REM sleep so this is why you can (in my experience) have insane dreams after an all night. But to answer your question, no because after sleep deprivation, your body will correct by having REM rebounds with basically extra REM sleep until you are recovered.

Bonus: Fun Fact about power naps. The first total sleep cycle is about a 20-25 minute cycle. This means the end of your first REM cycle will be after this point. From here the cycles get progressively longer. So by sleeping for only 20-30 minutes you are getting the most recovery (most REM) in the shortest total time. Which is why you can feel so rested after a short time.

Why is fraud a crime but being a ‘psychic’ not a crime

They generally get around fraud law by using phrases such as ‘for entertainment purposes only’. While they’re clearly presenting the image that they can talk to dead people, or find missing persons, they cover themselves with legal technicalities.

 

Why do I see articles daily practically saying we have found a cure for things like cancer, yet no cure actually exists?

We haven’t cured cancer, but we have cured MODELS of cancer.

Scientists will often use MODELS of cancer, because there are so many types of cancer. For example, we will take a biopsy of a live person’s breast cancer tumor, throw it in a dish, and do crazy stuff with it to make that cancer able to live forever in said dish.

This is now a “cancer line”. For example, a cancer line of triple negative breast cancer. Specific cancer to find a specific cure.

Nowadays how this starts is we analyse this “cancer line”. We look at all of its DNA to find that it lacks “gene x” or “protein y” compared to normal healthy cells. We find a target that is very different (or totally absent) in the cancer, and a target that we like, and think, “hey, if we fix that one thing, can we fix the cancer?”

So we find a drug or a genetic treatment and target it to fix this problem.

Many times, this “gene x” or “protein y” that is wrong in the cancer cell is so important, that fixing that one little thing out of 100,000 other things can save the cancer.

So anyways, we take this cancer line, and take an inbred mouse family with a real shitty immune system. We inject the human cancer cell line into this mouse and make sure the mouse’s shitty immune system is too weak to fight off the cancer. If the mouse can ‘get’ the human cancer, and the cancer spreads and kills the mouse, success!

Then we give the mouse this simple treatment to restore ‘normal’ function to our target gene or protein. And lo and behold, the mouse is cured of all cancer!

This is a lousy way of curing human cancers, which are all unique and merely follow trends, however it gives us more insight into these trends, as well as understanding of how exactly the cancer is spreading and killing people.

It also cements our classifications of cancers. When we find ‘treatment X works in this model of brain cancer but not that one’, then we can know in real life those patients need to be treated differently.

 What is snot and how can I produce a seemingly infinite amount when I have a cold?

Your nose (and the rest of your respiratory tract) produces mucus (snot). It is always being produced and pushed up and out of your nose or into your oesophagus (which leads to the stomach). Its function is to trap inhaled particles (like dust) and microbes so they can be removed without entering the sensitive parts of the system.

When you have a cold, you have an infection. This causes your body to put mucus production into overdrive as there’s more germs to get rid of.

How do we know what the universe looks like today when all the light we see is from millions or billions of years ago?

The picture we have of the universe is a picture of the past universe. The reality is that what the universe is like now is irrelevant, because we won’t experience that in any menaingful way until the future when the light reaches us.

We can of course make predictions about where these galaxies/stars are today even though we’re seeing them thousands or millions of years in the past.

The only “real” universe is the one we can observe, and that’s the one that’s limited by the speed of light.

everything is limited by the speed of light, even your kid’s soccer game, but the difference doesn’t really matter because it doesn’t impact us. The same thing applies to space.
