A dififcult question for which I will need to think deeply to struggle with an answer, which will be fun but I don't have time for right now. However: if the tree was not accessible, would that not mean that Adam and Eve had "free will," but no free choice due to lack of choices? That does not sound like an idyllic place to me, but rather a prison for the mind. But that's rambling and will spark more debate than I've pondered, so let me instead respond with the goofy Pulp Fiction answer:

Put your hands together, friend, and give both. Then tell her you'd like to go out with her so its clear you're not just a nice guy, but have real interest. Worst thing that can happen is she thinks you're sweet but does not want to go out with you. Then you have a friend.

Question the First: Dear Gydyon, how do you get self-confidence around women if the only thing you get to draw off of is a rather impressive list of failures? And alongside that, once you get self-confidence how do you make women like you?


Question the Second: Dear Gydyon, who will win the NL Central? Will it be the Yankstros, the Old-School (Hopefully, ha ha) Cubs, or maybe a surprise run the by Brewers?

Question the Third: Dear Gydyon, if it's de_dust and the terrorists are running an AWP camp in both tunnels, and all I have is enough money for a TMP, and my team is all dead, how do I win the game?

Question the Fourth: Dear Gydyon, my opponent in Madden 2004 is playing as the raiders, and I'm playing as the Texans. My opponent runs streaks and chucks the ball to Jerry Rice, and even with triple coverage I cannot seem to stop him. What is a good defense to kill the terrorists?

1. Self-confidence is a state of mind. It's not something you "get," it's something you decide to have. If you're convinced you're useless, then you've convinced yourself not to have confidence, and there is nothing you can do to get it. Someday you'll either decide to get over that, or you'll find someone with a similar neurosis who will want to be with you despite this issue. THe key is not caring whether you "score," but instead deciding to juyst enjoy yourself and lay off on the pressure.
2. Cubs or 'Stros, depending on how the Astros retread pitching staff performs. I'd have to give the edge to the Cubs until I see how that rotation in Houston works. My Pirates will be in the cellar alongside the Brewers.
3. The only winning move is not to play.
4. Hitting your opponent over the head with a controller.

Dear Gydyon

I also have a serious question. I am, at the moment, debating between majors. My current planned field after graduation is Journalism. I have a good amount of experience in said field already. My plan WAS to major in this.

BUT.

I have always WANTED to study Philosophy and Religion. Thing is, I am not sure if I can get a job with a degree there as opposed to with the Journalism degree. Note that each of these would eventually end up as a 6 year degree at the very least. They will be 4 year for now, then I pay off bills for a bit, then go into a masters program.

Not possible. We're talking about shagging and a person on the Internet. Nothing necessarily wrong with that sort of relationship, but they often come off desperate no matter how you handle it.

Gastrointestinal changes like that are generally due to changes in diet or irregularity. Take a fiber supplement and see what you're eating differently and stop.

1. Major makes absolutely no difference, although some majors prepare you for the problem-solving in the LSAT better than others.
2. Head into business first and take it at night. Scholarships are rare for law school, so you can expect to fork out $30,000 plus per year in tuition financed by loans. That results in a loan debt the size of a mortgage. If finances are not an issue, go straight through and intern in businesses and law firms.
3. Fall of your senior year, in any case. If you do badly, take them again when you're out.

Major in journalism, take philosophy and religion electives. 6 year programs in liberal arts will just take too long and be too useless for a career. You can always learn that stuff on your own if you run out of electives.

Delid, that was not a question.
