omukx | nekroleptik | 1,326,950,641,000 | Does anyone else think there may be a link between ancient egypt and the cats they worshiped and the internets and cats? Maybe ancient egypt had the internet? Maybe cats invented the internet? Conspiracy, maybe...Idk I'm not Giorgio Tsoukalos so I don't have all the answers, but there might just be something here.

omuc4 | lemmetakealook | 1,326,950,343,000 | Today was my last day working at my local stop and shop until summer, because I go to school a few hours away. Anyways, I was in the last 20 minute stretch and really just wanted to get out when a lady came through my lane (I'm a cashier) with 112 dollars worth of groceries. I rung everything up trying to be as friendly as possible despite my just wanting to leave, when she went to pay her debit card didn't work. I grumpily assured her that this happens all the time and she should just try again but she insisted on checking how much money she had in the ATM. So she left her groceries and went to check the ATM and I told the woman behind her that it may be a few minutes. Most people get very aggravated when people move too slowly through the line but this woman was very understanding.
Anyways, the woman came back from the ATM and said that she didn't have enough money in her account. At this time the CDH (the person in charge of all the cashiers and baggers) came over and offered to hold the woman's order in the cooler for the night and she could pick it up tomorrow but the woman said she wouldn't be able to pay for it tomorrow either and she needed some of the items tonight, she was clearly very frazzled. So the woman who couldn't pay for groceries stepped a few feet away with her cart and just kind of stood there while the woman behind her came up and asked me if she could pay for the other woman's groceries. I was so surprised that this random lady was willing to give 112 dollars to a woman she didn't even know to pay for her groceries. I said sure and she paid for them and planned on leaving quickly before anyone could tell the other woman that her groceries were all paid for, however word got out and the woman started bawling her eyes out and came over to hug the woman and thank her for paying. She said that she had just lost her job and their house was completely run out of food and her kids were hungry and she desperately needed to feed them tonight. She also offered to pay the woman back for the groceries as soon as she was able but the other woman refused and instead just told the other woman to stay healthy and find a new job. I meanwhile was standing behind the cash register trying not to cry, because adding a random crying cashier to the mix might just make it awkward.
Anyways, they hugged and the one lady cried and eventually left still crying. No one besides me, the CDH, the bagger, and the two women were ever even aware that this entire event took place and I've never been so impressed. So anyways, I really just feel like I have to share this story with everyone to restore hope to humanity, maybe inspire someone to help another person out, and give this awesome lady some credit :) | AskReddit | jewish |

omjzl | Hook3d | 1,326,939,561,000 | I see and hear this all the time on, in real life, on reddit, etc. where there will be a discussion about some subset of people (minority race, gender, nationality, etc.) and, after someone makes a comment (that isn't even necessarily critical or derogatory) they will then justify that comment by claiming membership in that group they are talking about.
Why? Shouldn't our statements stand on their own? It seems like the logic behind stuff like this:
>Oh yeah, black people do have more natural ability to dance. It's ok, I'm black.
>As a girl, you have a nice face. Off to /r/ladyboners with ya!
is the same as the logic that is often used to justify the use of the words "nigger" or "wetback," e.g. "Mexicans are allowed to use that term because they have reclaimed it/etc." Isn't this just propagating and encouraging racism/misogyny/nationalism?

omjn2 | Whiskeybent341 | 1,326,939,267,000 | I'll start: (context)I work for a local carpet cleaning place so I drive all day.
This particular day included me avoiding three near car accidents. All three of them were the kind of near misses that shake you up to the point where you just wanna pull over and have a good cry and re-evaluate your life before you move on.. I also got a $209 ticket for "rolling" through a stop sign(The asshole cop was no doubt just trying to make his quota). All that, plus a million shitty things that put me in a rotten mood. Like jamming to Pantera ("Walk") while im driving, to helping me vent my turbulent mood. I eventually look over to the next lane to see a couple of faggot V-necks mocking me...really laughing it up. Any other day, I might have laughed at myself and continued singing..This day? I just stared moodily at the road till they passed me.
ON TO THE MAIN EVENT: I was called into to do an out of town water extraction at some out of town factory. Turns out an employee with bad eating habits, took a massive shit, clogging the toilet. This floods the entire restroom with an inch of standing shit water. When I get there, the owner of my company is at the entrance to meet me. He ushers me to the shit water flood restroom and just sort of nods at it..not much explanation was needed. He leaves to get air movers I start to unravel hose to get to work...also cursing myself for not staying in college. While I was sucking up the shitty water in the bathroom I noticed that the vacuum wasnt sucking as good as it normally did; Pissed off already, I snatched the hose off the cleaning wand too hard sending a big glob of shitty water into my open mouth. I sort of blinked for a minute..like the Coyote does in the last seconds he has before gravity kicks in and he falls to Earth..you know after the Road Runner pulls another one on him? Anywho..the taste finally registers and the effect is immediate..I blew chuncks into the nearest receptacle. My nearest receptacle happend to be the over flowed toilet. After I got done puking up the coney dogs I had for lunch, I then did the most retarded thing I could have done in that situation. I flushed the toilet. So not only did I have shitty water all over the floor but now I had partially digested coney dogs floating around in the mix. After about 5 minutes of..sort of laughing and crying at the same time, I pulled myself together and cleaned out my mouth as best I could in the sink and then quickly got back to work to try to get as much done before my boss got back. When he got back he wasn't very happy about the lack of progress I had made. I didnt really feel like telling him what happened.

omjgv | shoasaurus | 1,326,939,120,000 | Is there a way? I'm an artist myself, and for all of the complaints over the years, the best way to make money as an artist has been to be attached to a major label or studio. If the studios go out of business will Google help fund, find and nurture young artists to success? I'm not sure that everyone involves actually cares that much about people like me, that's why this is all so much noise for me, and not so fruitful at all.

ope3t | Achalemoipas | 1,327,095,844,000 | I've realized that when I encounter a comment that makes a quote I know, I start to read comments very quickly in the voice of the person quoted. So I started to actively notice at which point I adopt the voice. And as far as I can tell, based on more than two dozen quotes, I adopt the voice right at the first word every time. If I don't know the reference, it doesn't work.
Another thing I've realized, is that I do the same thing regarding the tone of the speaker. For example, when a comment is obviously sarcastic, I start to read it using the same intonation as I would if I was saying it sarcastically before I even know it's sarcastic.
Many people say they read comments in somebody's voice. Do you also *start* to read in that voice?
And finally, is it because we actually comprehend it before we even read it? Like how we can know that there 3 objects in an image without having to count to three? How does it work?

opb7l | hflol | 1,327,092,284,000 | So my friends and I got into an argument over if porn was demeaning to women. It was pretty much guys against girls, guys saying it wasn't and girls saying it was.
They're reasoning was that the girls were having sex against their consent and it wasn't sex it was abuse.
My friends and I reminded them that that would be rape, and illegal. All porn actresses consent to being in the video/photoshoot. It's their choice, and many porn actresses enjoy their jobs.

However, I dont understand why everyone is up in arms for the security of Palestine. Yes they are being discriminated against and driven from their homes, but they constantly respond with a lot of terrorist activity.
Throughout the late 19th, Arafat commanded the PLO to use terrorist tactics, and today, the Hamas continue to do the very same.

Hey Reddit,
I'll keep this short and sweet. I'm a photographer who shoots fine art photography (in addition to other things). For a while now I've been wondering how one would go about selling artwork to a hotel. Who do I contact at the hotel? Can I contact my local hotel, or do I need to go through the corporate office? Where do the big hotel chains get their artwork? If I'm dealing with a chain/franchise, is it possible to sell to one hotel, or is the artwork in some of these places standard (if that's the case I'm going to cry)?
Thanks!

oqag2 | dumbchuck | 1,327,161,882,000 | I'm older than a lot of you on here, nearly 60. I don't "support" or "belong to" any political parties and usually I'm pretty common sense and middle of the road, but I must say, the current lineup of candidates in my opinion is the weakest of my lifetime, and there have been some pretty damned weak ones!
1.President Obama. We all know by now what he is about. Only a "dye in the wool" Democrat would take him serious.
2.Romney. "Nixon Lite." Even has those dreaded shifty eyes to go with it. He would be a total disaster as a leader of anything, except maybe his Sunday School down at the Cult.
3.Gingrich. Fought Clinton (1994-2000) at every turn during the most amazing transformation of government business in decades. Has a lot of knowledge on governmental affairs I think, but it's misdirected and pays special attention to religious and other groups. I liked the way he stood up to CNN John King the other night! That was classic and Newt was right on!
4.Santorum. see: http://spreadingsantorum.com/
5. Paul. Claims to be a Constitutionalist and talks the talk. Whiny voice but he's probably my pick because he's not REAL Republican acting and could probably think outside the box when working with others.

When I met my boyfriend, this resulted in me spending a lot of time in his room, to the point that I really wasn't around. This year we decided to live together again, but I have been around a lot more. I also started waking up at 6am to go to the gym. Now, when I get up I quickly turn off my alarm, tiptoe out of bed, go in to the common room, get dressed out there, and head out. She still wakes up because she is a light sleeper, but I think I am respectful about it. Since then she has become increasingly passive aggressive. For example, it started with sighing and slamming doors, moved on to taking my things and putting them on my desk if they were in common areas on her stuff and generally got to the point where she was just nasty whenever I was in the room. I pointed this out to her and she denied it. The behavior kinda stopped for a little bit, including an apology, blaming it on PMS. Fine. Next, about a month down the line, my boyfriend and I were cuddling together alone in the room. My roommate walks in. We both say “Hi” and so on, and the first words out of her mouth in a really really REALLY bitchy tone are “Wo-ow you two are messy.” Naturally I got very upset but my boyfriend replied explaining that those were his clothes and that he would grab them when he left. She responded with a catty remark about how it was on “her side” of the room, even though it was in the middle, towards my end. I realize I need to talk to her. I was hoping to do it in private so I didn’t confront her right then and talked to my boyfriend instead. She proceeds to walk out 5 minutes later or so with another bitchy remark saying “I would appreciate it if you two had clothes on when I came back” and slammed the door. At this point I was ready to talk with her right then, and I was waiting for her to come back, which she never did. I had to leave, but I left her a post-it and shot her a text saying that we have to talk. She responded by saying that I was disrespectful to her. When I responded by pointing out that she had no right to be so rude to me or my guests she tried to counter with the fact that we were naked in the room. To which I reminded her that this is my room and that I can be as naked as I please in it when I am alone. Furthermore I also pointed out that this was a conversation to have in person. She never responded and hasn’t been around since. I don’t know what to do or how to approach this. I want to talk to her, and point out that the best way to deal with any problem she has with me to talk to me about it, not act passive aggressively. I am hoping she tells me something along the lines of “I would like to not walk in on you naked with your boyfriend” to which I would respond something like, “Okay, can you do me a favor an knock before you enter then?” or something similar. However, like I said, she is avoiding me and highly passive aggressive so I doubt she will be open about it.
TL;DR: My extremely passive aggressive roommate refuses to openly communicate her problems with me and I don’t know how to reach out to her.
EDIT: Okay, so everything ended up working out between us. It took us a weekend of not seeing each other (she was sleeping at her boyfriends and we kept missing each other when we were in the room) before we finally ran in to each other and talked. I brought up what I felt and a few great points you guys gave me and listened for quite a while. We came to a resolution (I would text if we/I was in the room naked and she would text when she was on her way back and it would work vice versa as well). Thank you all so much!!!

oq3y2 | SirDerpingtonIII | 1,327,142,837,000 | I personally found $500 in 10 x $50s on the floor of restaurant/lodge on a snowy mountain, I was 10 at the time and casually looked under the table we were eating breakfast at, the money didn't belong to any of us, I handed it in, I really didn't need the $500 even though at that age it makes you feel like you can buy anything.
So what's your story reddit? Can you best $500?
Edit: forgot to mention, the very next week the apparent people whose money it was, had recieved it back and decided to leave $100 for me and also one for my brother as thanks, My brother gave me his cut, manly tears were shed. | AskReddit | jewish |

opv2k | AyeMatey | 1,327,121,210,000 | This has happened to me on /r/worldnews.
Basically I post an article, it doesn't show up. I message the mods and ask them to free the article from the auto-filter. They decline to do so, citing a reason. Among these reasons they have said:
- "The title was wrong - when posting a link to a news article, you need to use the *exact title* from the original news article."
- "That is about a study done in a University in the UK. It is not appropriate for worldnews, it should be posted to /r/UnitedKingdom."
- "That article is about technology in China. It should be posted to /r/Technology."
In each case I responded that those reasons for blocking my posts don't seem to apply to other posts, in particular the posts on the front page of /r/worldnews. In other words, three out of the top 4 posts on /r/worldnews do not use the original headline from the news article. There are posts about events in the UK. There are technology posts. And so on. None of the cited reasons are really applied generally. They seem to be reasons of convenience, only for my posts.
When I provided that response to the mods, and asked for more clarification on why my posts were blocked, the mods refused any further substantive response, and then blocked me.
I actually RE-posted one of the items, and used the exact headline, as the mods directed, and they refused to unblock that one too. I have never once been insulting or rude.

opq1c | watersign | 1,327,113,133,000 | I've worked in white collar and blue collar environments in terms of jobs, i'm 23 and about halfway through college. Every time I've worked an office job I couldn't wait to get the fuck out of there because I hate sitting in one position all day. I don't like office politics, working with women (who are usually the cause of drama), and feel as if they are all soul sucking propositions. The people are smarter but i'm usually the youngest person there and I don't care about their kids soccer games or their family lives.
I don't particularly care for labor jobs either as the people tend to be drunken morons, ignorant and miserable. My cousin works in the trades and he says he wishes he would have gone to college because everyone he works with is an old miserable drunk with a shot body and he said his back is toasted..hes 26 years old. I always find myself quite lonely as I have no one to talk to or relate with. On top of this, these positions usually get no respect in our society as they are frowned upon as being held by uneducated losers.
White Collar Redditors, do you ever wish you could trade your accounting degree for an Electricians license?
Blue Collar Redditors, do you wish you would have gone off to college instead of going the trade/apprenticeship route?

orl2h | iknowyouright | 1,327,252,275,000 | Further, at what point do you consider the TV/song/movie show you're pirating to be free information and no longer a product to be purchased?
These industries haven't kept up with technology, but given that people can access the content for free, lowering prices doesn't seem to stimulate sales. They can't just rely on advertising for revenue, as then directors and producers are at the mercy of Gillette and Advil, and going on a donation only basis is ludicrous for the creators (with the exception of music. It's relatively cheap to produce music compared to TV or film) because consumers are just as cheap and greedy as their supposed enemies. In [this](http://www.indiewire.com/article/piracy_may_be_an_indie_filmmakers_best_friend_discuss) article it shows pirating to be wonderful for PR, and bullshit for sales and recouping expenses:
"Nikolic posted the film to King's VODO site, where it's been downloaded an impressive 1.5 million times. He's received only around $10,000 in donations."
So, reddit, what business model is fair to everyone? People are saying it's the entertainment industry's fault for an outdated model. What's the 2012 model? What's the internet model that still produces enough cash to keep creating content? Honestly. I'm an actor who still wants to be paid and wants the internet to remain open.

or4c8 | Chanz | 1,327,208,719,000 | A friend and I had a bet revolving around the whole "a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square."
I was thinking that the fact that a rectangle is not a square is not always true as there is a specific case in which a rectangle is a square, when both congruent sides are of the same length. They told me that was just called a square but I disagree. A rectangle is defined as a shape with four sides, opposite sides being congruent and four right angles. So by that definition, I could draw a square and label it a rectangle as it is that single case in which the inverse of the "square is a rectangle" statement is true.
Your thoughts?
tl;dr; A square is a rectangle. A rectangle however is only a square in a single case, that four sides are equal. Correct? So the original saying is flawed. | AskReddit | jewish |
or1sz | odog502 | 1,327,204,105,000 | Not sure how many people are willing to volunteer such information, but I was curious. Use a throwaway account if you must...
I estimate that my music collection is about 97% legally owned. The other 3% is mostly music that is no longer available for purchase because the label is defunct and/or the band was small time and is no longer producing the song/album for purchase.
When I attempt to discover new bands, I download a few songs from an artist to give them a try. But after listening a few times I either pull the trigger and buy the songs or I delete them. While this process may not be technically legal, I think I approach it honestly. They make more money than if I didn't do this because Im not going to buy music Ive never heard before, plain and simple. Most of the music I like isn't very mainstream(not a hipster, just don't know how else to describe it, ha) so this is really the only way for me to hear new music. About 1% of the music I currently possess falls in this category.
I know the percentages quite accurately because I organize my music that way.(Insert OCD Otter meme here)
My movie collection is 100% legal. Im not that big into movies(have a small movie collection), so it's not that hard for me.
