Joined Reddit & Time Wasting Ensues

The World Famous(?) Reddit Alien

After this forum has been around my life (via YouTube videos and current events) for quite some time, I finally took the plunge and decided to create an account and be part of massive online community for better and for worse. In my short time of being a Redditor, I've learned quite about myself: I have very little willpower to curb my time online at Reddit. On one hand, spending lots of my free time has allowed me to find great sub-reddits, but on the other hand, I've wasted precious free time dicking around some of the more hilariously stupid (sometimes NSFW/L) learning new things, keeping up with world in news and tech, and even just having a much need laugh in a lousy day. Below, are some great subreddits as well as some of the more...interesting...subreddits. Enjoy, and you're welcome ;-)

Some interesting subreddits (for better):

• /r/CarTalk
• /r/ListentoThis
• /r/InternetisBeautiful
• /r/ExplainLikeImFive
• /r/PersonalFinance

Some interesting subreddits (for worse):

• /r/FiftyFifty
• /r/AdviceAnimals
• /r/TIFU
• /r/GoneWild
• /r/Incest (What you're thinking at the moment is 1/10th of how Reddit felt upon its discovery)

I'm still finding some new and interesting subbreddits. The goal is to find more productive and thought-provoking subreddit forums while trying to dodge to the more inane forums. As you can see, I've found several that I've taken a chance on and failed. Miserably. Well, until next time!

Another Update to the CRL

So rather, going all the way back to January 2014's entry post highlighting my updated Comprehensive Reading List (compare this list with the original from Jan. 2013!), I decided to just create a new post instead (and it'll make it easier for me to go back in case I add (0r subtract books in the near future, which probably will happen quite soon).
