  1. SAD bad or mad on How Do You Deal with Depression Around Christmas? · · Score: 5, Informative

    First off , if you are suffering from any kind of depression that is seriously affecting your day to day life then see a doctor . There is no point suffering in silence especially around this time of year when it can be amplified by many many things.

    A depression around winter time in the northern hemisphere can be caused by a few things :

    1: Seasonal affective disorder .this is caused by a chemical imbalance due to the lack of daylight . A high powered solar lamp can help you here will alleviate many many symptoms . Again see a doctor , if you can not see a doctor due to area or if you are in the USA for example (due to your medical insurance not covering this) then have a look for some local or online support groups .There will be people out there who can advise you on things that really help remove the strain .

    If you suffer from a condition such as Bipolar affective disorder then chances are you will also suffer from Seasonal affective disorder , just keep taking the Medication and supplement it with some time by a solar lamp (Again see your doctor)

    2: past trauma/upseting events/Loss of a loved one etc. : Any upsetting event around this time of year can be amplified due to the fact that most people appear to be having a good time . Feeling alone and miserable at a time when everyone around you is so happy really does tend to make things feel a whole lot worse .
    Talk to people about , find a support group , anonymous if you need to if you can then surround yourself with family and friends, but do not suffer in silence . Just accepting the Depression can be catastrophic for your health.There are many people out there who will be more than happy to help.
    Your doctor will be able to point you in the right direction , that is what they are there for

    3:Mental illness : If you suffer from a mental illness and feel that symptoms are worsening around this time of year then immediately talk to your doctor . Chances are they will supplement your medication or find some other way to help you . ...
    It is important that you speak to someone and do not feel silly about it if you have to go to a doctor . You are not wasting there time and depression can be a serious illness , but there are many many remedies which can really help. Do not suffer in silence.(sorry to repeat myself)

    This is by no means professional advice and may not even apply to you , but if you do feel any of it applies to you then see your doctor as soon as you can .

    " It will be interesting to see how this plays out."
    I hear Iran's president recently brought up some anti-Semitic stuff and is trying to push the Nuclear program .. or so the propaganda says.
    This appears to be a nice rug for them to sweep it under , also gives them a lot more oil.

  11. You know on Algorithms Determine Mona Lisa's True Emotions · · Score: 3, Funny

    First time I saw the painting I said "She looks bored ".
    She had likely been sitting there for hours having her painting done , likely irritated , in need of the toilet and bored .

    Perhaps since the knew study is out , we have discovered that Da Vinci painted naked and was fairly good looking . She was probably thinking "Oh dear lord , he is nude . Oh wait , fairly hot body though .. must not look interested , I don't want to appear easy , but Meooooow"

  16. Sorry to be rude on EFF and Sony Disclose New DRM Security Hole · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But first you install stealthy and quite possibly illegal software with one hand , and on the other you install DRM with a Security hole that hardly anyone will patch because they will likely not hear about it.
    Way to go Sony , you truly are a bunch of arse-holes .
    Well at least if this gets major press coverage it may cause an even large headache to ever encroaching wave DRM

  20. Re:Run By Hasidim? on Consumer Strikes Back at Crooked Online Retailer · · Score: 1

    This is not all Hasidic Jews . I have no real knowledge of the Local Hasidic community over there , but even if it were to be true (which i doubt , but honestly do not know) that would not be cause to say that about all Hasidic Jews . The Talmud still applies to their branch of the faith and mistreating Gentiles like this is wrong .
    In my experience Hasidic Jews are not hostile to gentiles and are really rather nice people (at least the ones I know) , That book is apparently written by just one nut. Though the article does have a lot of quotes that are totally out of context .

    Just as with all peoples , there are some members of the community that stray from the path . This is not a reason to tar everyone in the community with that brush .
    After all , It would be wrong to think America was up of people like G.W Bush, all Arabs as Terrorist or all Scottish people as stingy (I am though .. I kid I kid )

    For risk of being totally off topic here..
    You can not really wish to put people in jail for their opinions .
    You should work to change those opinions , many people have been indoctrinated with false ideas , we should consider it a mitzvah to help them lose the hatred .

    I always associated Hasidic Judaism with the works of Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer , with great interest in the non academic side of Judaism ,but the roots of revelling in the religion (Than and the rather cool distinctive costumes).
    Ripping people off would really not be very Hasidic and would call for a great deal of penance .
