Now to be clear, I know where I stand and I know who I am voting for when the time comes. However, I wanted to have a little fun, put my political ideals aside and to write a question that is not surrounding how stupid republicans or liberals are...let's face it, those are annoying and incredibly childish. I assume that mature teens, young adults and adults exist on this site (somewhere..) and can answer accordingly so...if you are not mature then please don't answer, go to one of those stupid questions and post your "well thought out" opinions there. I enjoy debating, learning how people think and why. I want to know, by as many people as possible, what is your motive. Don't tell me because it's the lesser evil, tell me what drew you to them. Give facts, feelings and act like mature human beings...you are not gladiators and this is not Ancient Rome.

In the end, it is easy to ridicule the other side because you don't share their beliefs, but can you convince the other side is the question. Debating can be entertaining, but debating is NOT biting other people's heads off because they don't agree with you...that's just being a big baby and please leave if you cannot handle disagreement. I feel like I shouldn't have to say this, but sadly I do.

So if you feel up to answering, I'd like to read it. My main reason for posting is that I cannot understand the other sides reasoning and I'd like someone to clear that up.

Doesn't anyone find this interesting? Honestly, it all makes sense now. It is the main reason as to why their answers are the way they are, why their thought processes seem so childish/immature and why they can't possibly think with higher intelligence...frankly because they don't have much to go off to begin with. Now, I understand a few are probably college students, but the vast majority are the lowly educated/uneducated folk of America. Go look at the studies if you don't believe me, it is solid proof, there are no lies in what I am writing. Just curious as to your thoughts on the matter. I expect intelligent and non intelligent answers...that's sadly just how this site works.

Yes, I am a studying nurse and we can get quite paranoid but this has gotten a bit annoying and I am in hopes of finding another opinion. Lately my feet have had random shooting, electric, burning pain and tingling nearly all through the night (if it is not one, it is the other). As the night progresses it might travel up my leg or affect my hands with a single electric shock, but this does not always happen. I drink a lot of water because my mouth and throat are always dry which evidentially leads to visiting the toilet quite often (at night as well). The newest symptom has been me waking up in frustrating cold sweats, to the point that I want to do nothing but shower. Now, I could just be being paranoid, however, I would appreciate helpful feedback.

Thank you in advance :).

I m 22

108-110lbs

5 1"

Background: The story is a coming-of-age-esque alt. universe 1900 with a touch of steampunk :)...it honestly sounds more complicated than it is, haha.

The character is a 14 year old male.

Since the name isn't popular I can't find any opinions...so here's to my last resort. What do you guys think of the name:

Alyus (Al-eeus)

Tell me your thoughts, and or similar name ideas. please be mature and thank you for your help :)!

I am a writer and am attempting a steampunk/Victorian style book...however, I've been searching for a main character boy name for days, and it has gotten pretty annoying, haha. I love the names 'Alois/Aloysius' and 'Ciel' but it upsets me that the first thing people might possibly think is that I'm stealing from anime or something of the sort. So I'm looking for help, I am open to an array of names but something that sounds nice...nothing like archibald...not a fan or a ridiculous answer that won't help at all. Please kindly help :)!!!

Thank you in advance :)!!

I am very curious in learning the art of the sword and have always had a strong interest in all martial arts formal and informal...I just have a few questions :)

-Will Kendo cause me to grow large muscles? I am trying to tone up my slightly flabby arms lol...but don't want more muscle than I have already got...

-Will Kendo help tone my core? I am fairly skinny already but I've always wanted a nice but not overly toned stomach...sounds lame but I think it looks nice in a swim suit

-How will Kendo help me mentally?

-Is 20 too old to start Kendo?

-If I have arthritis, technically Lupus, would Kendo hurt me more than help me? If you cant answer this its fine, I know yall are not doctors, lol.

-Will Kendo help with self defense, I am well aware it is not a self defense sport/art but will it aid in anyway.

-Will knowing a basic level of Karate help or hinder?

-Is Kendo fun to learn, I love challenges and I know Kendo is tough so no worries there, I just want to know if you enjoyed learning it?

-What muscles does Kendo tone?

-How long (if I am dedicated) will it take me to get good at Kendo?

-I know it is a male dominant sport but are females looked down upon for doing Kendo?

-Does strength play a big factor in Kendo, because I'm fairly small, short and not very strong...I am not a weakling, just average lol

-How do I know it is a good Kendo dojo?

If you can answer most of these questions, I would appreciate it :)! Thank you so much in advance!!

1) Is the name Ha-Neul male, female, both or it doesn't matter?

2) What are some NICE name suggestions for a Korean boy :)?

3) Do you have any suggestions for nick names to go along with the names?

I am aware that this may not be the right place for this question, but hopefully I can still get some help! Thank you in advance for your answers, please help me out if you can :)!

So I am writing a book, and I really love the name Lu Han/ Luhan...yes one of my main characters is Chinese...However, this happens to be the same name of a member from a Kpop group called EXO. Technically it is his stage name, but I don't want to get into trouble...so I am just wondering will I get into trouble if I put the name in my book.

Thanks in advance! :)

One of my close friends is having another baby boy! I'm really excited, she already has an adorable little boy named Eliah!! She is looking for a sweet name that goes well with Eliah, but has its own uniqueness. We are looking through a lot of online sites and I figured maybe someone on the internet could help :D?? Her and her husbands only real preferences are that the name is

-Unique (or not common)

-Nothing too crazy, but they are open to foreign names

-Any length, but not too hard for the baby or his brother to say and write.

* Doesn't need it but she likes names that can have nicknames (Eliah "Eli").

Thank you so much for your help in advance :D!!

So my older sister has been recently diagnosed with mono. She is 21, so it is more towards adult mononucleosis. I was wondering if anyone had any information about how to cure it, doctors say there is not really anything they can do. I would appreciate it if you all would not say rude things and anything you know could help. I do not want to lose my only sister to this stupid virus, I will take anything from home remedies to personal experiences. I will be frank, do not explain to me what the Epstein-Barr virus is, I already know that...just tell me how to combat it, please :)!

Here are some examples of why I like...

King- Lauren Aquilina

Greenback boogie- ima robot

My body- young the giant

Basically I- Robert DeLong

Run boy run- Woodkid

A song for the weary- David Hodges

Foster the people in general

My chemical romance in general but not the screamo songs

Mikky Ekko in general

I can talk- two door cinema

The loneliness and the scream- frightened rabbit

Mumford and sons in general

The scientist- Coldplay

Ed sheeran in general

.....I like a lot of varying music particularly indie, rock, pop and classical...anything...however, I absolutely hate rap and screamo. I would appreciate any help I can get, fit as many songs you'd think I'd like into the answer...I'll appreciate it trust me :)!! Slow songs, upbeat catchy songs, emotionally moving songs, easy going songs...anything that is not being over played on the radio at the moment haha :)! Thank you in advance!!

Does anyone know any Young Adult (YA) books that have brothers as main characters? I really love stories with strong sibling relationships and close bonds. I like supernatural, dystopian, and where the love story is not the main focus. A few examples are like the Infernal devices, The mortal instruments, elemental...I just would love a story that has brothers in it, or a little brother/older sister story.

Please help, I'm a very avid reader, but I just want a good brothers story :)!!

Thanka in advance!

The plan I'm supposed to follow is

15 mg for 5 days

10mg for 5 days

5mg for 5 days

Done.

However, everything I've read about it is a living nightmare! It's just a trial because my doctor is unsure if I have RA or Lupus (getting blood test back soon) but I'm so scared. My question is how can prevent weight gain, or any of the terrible side effects. And adding to that will I even get them due to the low dose and short time? I'm not stick thin but I'm slim/healthy for a 5'2" height and I don't want to lose that, I just turned 20. I work out and I try to eat healthy...I just need to know...can anyone help ease my anxiety about this steroid, please.

For nearly my whole life I've had joint problems; but it wasn't until my teenage years when they stared to really hurt. I'm now 20 and my wrists, knees, ankles, hips and thumb joints hurt and are stiff. It's all bilateral and the pain is definately above a 5. I've also recently become very tired, I'm a college student and don't have the best hours but I try...however, no matter how hard I do I'm always tired. And to top it all off, today I found a light pinkish, hot, tingly section on both my cheeks and lightly on the bridge my nose. I've been dealing with very bad joint pain for a good 4 days or so now but this is completely new. It looks like I applied a very light blush to the apples of my cheeks, but I'm not wearing any make up at all. I would just like to know y'alls opinions. Should I be concerned or is it just normal? Help if you can, and thank you in advance. :)

Extra: I do plan on going to the doctor for the joint pain; but should I tell them about this or no?

I simply want to learn how to defend myself and do it very well. Getting into shape and being active are pluses of course; but my main goal is to be able to stand up and not fear.

-I just turned 20

-My physic is semi toned, 5'1 1/2, smallish figure, 117lbs (used to swim competitively for 11 years of my life)

-No shortage on endurance

-I have a drive to learn, always have

-I am a college student and I am going to take 'martial arts' in the upcoming fall.

I would appreciate some tips and which style would be best for my physic. I don't really believe i could flipping anyone haha. Nevertheless, thank you, I appreciate the help :)!

I have no idea if this is even in the right category but I have recently become very immersed in the anime world (with no regrets what so ever). I blame shingeki no kyojin (my favorite anime so far)...but I'm looking for more.

As of right now my list of what to watch stands at:

Shingeki no kyojin (watching)

The vision of escaflowne

Evangelion

Fairy tale (watching)

Ao no exorcist

Pandora hearts

07 ghost

Tokyo majin

Phantom

hakkenden

Blackblood brothers

Jormungand

Gundam00

Jyu oh sei

Rainbow (watching)

Katekyo hitman reborn

Psycho-pass

Now I've seen and loved FMA, Brotherhood, TTGL, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 and Ouran! (Seen naruto and not interested in bleach or death note) I've experimented with some shonen ai and yaoi but not too much (I don't mind it though). But I'm very, very picky, I don't like an all girls cast nor do i like girls as the main protagonist unless she has an equal boy along side her. And I hate ecchi. I absolutely love brothers, and anything with a protective older brother and younger one, like Gurren Laggan or brotherhood. I suppose what I'm trying to say is can you suggested some really good anime with:

-lots of boys in the cast

-humor, drama and lots of action

-boy main protagonist

-brothers!!! (Please :)...or big sis little bro)

-Mentors or protectors over main boy character

Also am I really missing out on skipping Clanned?

I appreciate your help xD!!! I apologize for being so picky and long, it's just brothers are so much more awesome than sisters or girls and I'm a girl btw. I'd love some new anime if there are any that fit, thank you! :)

Hikaru and Mako

Two brothers, Hikaru is 15 and Mako is 10.

I liked the meaning behind the names. Makoto (Mako) means Sincerity, while Hikaru means Radiance.

I am not Japanese but I am doing my research so I don't disgrace their beautiful culture. Thing is...I can't find a single last name that is meaningful enough! They are a proud, respected family and I want these boys to have a strong surname :)!

I appreciate any help! I like names that are long and unique :)! Thank you!

First off, I had seasonal asthma when I was a kid (I'm 19 now). I had occasional attacks nothing life threatening, I was pretty active and as the years when on it went away. Now it only occurs in the winter, and the usually just result in wheezing...generally nothing that I can't handle without an inhaler. I can count the times on my hands that I've used my medicine over the past 5 years or so. So to my question...

Today my tongue had been tingling, literally all day long from waking up to now or (6am-3am). just small bursts of tingling, really quite random actually. However, today my body was physically drained, I honestly had little to no energy. And for the first time in a long time it became tough to breathe, at first it was nothing that I couldn't hide...just merely annoying. But as the day dragged on and the more I stayed active, the worse it got. The constriction, the coughing, the wheezing, the pain in my chest all came back just randomly. Laughing or talking became nearly impossible and my throat felt constricted. I put up with it until I could no longer and had to ask my friend to drive to my house so I could get my inhaler. I know old medicine is not good to use, but it was the only thing I had...and believe it or not it actually helped. Now I'm just fine, like it never happened...but it was just so random and not during the winter. Do you guys think something triggered it that I don't know about or maybe it's just going to start affecting me in the summer as well?

I would love any kind of help I could get! I honestly don't know where the attack came from...maybe it is just because I haven't had one in so long that I've forgotten what it's like. I just would like to know if it is bronchitis or something else besides asthma...and no, I didn't eat anything that I would be allergic to today (the tongue tingling). Just wondering y'alls thoughts :)!

Thank you :)!

He is about 15.

The youngest.

Has two older brothers named Levi and William.

He has dark brown curly hair and deep blue eyes.

He is strong willed and is more reckless than his older brothers.

The setting is dystopian.

I had thought about the name Sebastian but for some reason it's just not fitting. I like names that can be made into good nicknames, since his is their baby brother. I want one that is annoying to him yet cute.

I really like unconventional names! I do not want any generic names...something unique, different and fun but that still has a nickname. Help me out please :D!!

I will appreciate any help I get :)!!!

You are a college freshman and have planned your academic career carefully. You will complete college and receive your Bachelor’s degree in five years. You were fortunate to have found a part-time job that is guaranteed for the five years and that will allow you to pay your bills while in school. We will call this Job A. After working at Job A for 25 months you are offered two other jobs at the same time, Job B and Job C, both of which are guaranteed for the remaining time (35 months) you are in school. You must make a decision whether to stay with Job A or switch to Job B or Job C. The decision must be made right after the 25th month; it cannot be delayed.

Job A: This job pays $1850 per month plus a bonus of $250 per month. However, you will not receive the bonus on a monthly basis. It will be placed into an account (paying no interest). After you have worked for the company for 30 months you will receive, in a lump sum, all the money in the account at that time. If you quit before 30 months, you will receive none of the bonus money. Then, beginning with the 31st month, the $250 bonus will again be placed into the savings account each month for the remaining time you work for the company. At the end of 60 months, you will receive, in a lump sum, the remaining bonus money. If you quit before 60 months, you will receive none of the bonus money that accumulated beginning with the 31st month.

Job B: This job pays $2250 per month, but offers no bonus.

Job C: This job pays $1700 per month and offers a one-time bonus of $21,250 at the end of the 35 months.

Remember that your decision is to be made when you have worked at Job A for exactly 25 months.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT

For each job, give the equation (function) that calculates the amount A of money earned after m months. Your answer should involve piecewise-functions.

Explain the advantages of each job from a financial standpoint. Remember that you have only worked at Job A for 25 months, and will receive no bonus from that job if you quit now.

State which job you believe is the best one for you and explain, in a logical and convincing way, the reasons why. There is no correct answer, but you must support your decision in a logical manner, and acknowledge the results of your mathematical analysis.
