Hi minimalism! I'm not exactly a minimalist myself, I still have a lot of unnecessary junk in my life but I'm trying to trim it down. One of my problems is my mother - she is a serial consumer, and will buy any old junk for me. Most recently she bought me a tiny frying pan for one egg (I don't eat eggs) and a olympics souvenir book (I wasn't especially interested in the olympics). I appreciate the gesture but I really have too much crap. I've told her in the past that I don't want junk, but I find it difficult to explain to her that I literally do not her to buy me a single thing more. One Christmas I said I didn't want anything at all and she wouldn't accept that answer - she had to buy me

Lovely topic, combining farting and periods. Ever since I've had periods, my fart frequency would skyrocket whenever I'm on. I haven't been to the doctor about it as I don't mind it too much, but I've never really thought about whether it's normal. Is it just me?

I realise there aren't really going to be people who answer 'yes' exactly (myself included, love him!) but I thought I would try and start a discussion about his bad side, his weaknesses and how dangerous he can be. And if there is anyone out there who doesn't like him, why not?

I think when he gets all angry at Rose for being 'another stupid ape' (Father's Day) that was a low point in my opinion of him - what did he expect of her?!

I can't for the life of me remember the name of an anime I watched when I was quite young, I had taped on a video and I watched it over and over but I never knew the name.

So, there is a girl, with blonde hair. She has a little mirror with her all the time, it is flower shaped. I think it had powers? It was important anyway. At one point, she is on a train when she sees a fire in the distance. She forces the driver to stop the train, and she goes to the burning building and saves some people. Later in the film she is underwater floating in and out of conciousness. Flowers and rainbows feature heavily in this film if I remember correctly.

I really can't remember much else. Please help!

Hi reddit. I feel like this is a rather noobish question but I can't figure out why my computer is so slow.

It's a Toshiba satellite A500 17X running Windows 7, I have McAfee internet security that runs scans every now and then and brings up nothing, I don't download films or music (maybe the odd thing off of itunes, and I do have a fair bit of music that my friend gave me from an external hard drive).

It takes 10 minutes for my computer to be useable from turning it on. Everytime the computer shuts down it spends about 20 minutes configuring roughly 5 updates each time (once or twice a day).

I just thought this was standard computer behaviour, but I used other computers and saw that I
