otkxd | BabbaFeli | 1,327,361,100,000 | Okay, so here's the story.
A young friend of mine, he just turned 18, so basically he's fully responsible for his actions, went to a skiing-trip last week. It was a school trip. That being said, there was this other girl. She is currently in a relationship. They had a few drinks and eventually they ended up in his room where he ate her out. Not the wisest decision so far, but that's just my humble opinion. The next day, they are in the bus back to our hometown, she spreads rumors about him having raped her. She said he ate her out without her consent, he stuck a finger up her ass and he wanted to stick his fleshrocket into chocolatepuddingland (to describe it sorta sfw-like) without consent. He claims everything was consensual. Fast forward, today he had several people walking up to him, threatening to beat him up, several facebook-messages of girls saying stuff like 'you know, I always liked you, I never thought you'd rape somebody'. He wrote her a message, asking her about that. She said she didn't want people to think he raped her, they probably misunderstood it and he should keep his mouth shut because she doesn't want his boyfriend to find out about her cheating on him.
He told me about this today, crying, and I don't even know what to say. I told him he has evidence, because there are those facebook messages she sent him, and he should tell her boyfriend about it, make those messages public. He said he doesn't want to, because if someone has been accused of being a rapist, this kind of reputation sticks to him. He fears that father could be fired, that he could not walk around town safely and he basically is a nervous wreck.
He said that if this reputation stuck to him, he may commit suicide. Although he isn't sure yet if he got the balls to do it.
I don't think it should come to the point where he tries at all.
So, my advice would be to print out what she wrote, to tell her boyfriend and to walk up to teachers and tell them the story before they hear it from other folks.
Reddit, you never disappointed me. Let the hivemind speak.
Any advice you can give? Thank your in advance.
I am sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes I made, I am not a native speaker.
Bonus fact: We're in Europe, so basically, if there would be a court case, facts decide, not a bunch of stupid-ass jury guys.
**TL; DR: Friend is falsely accused of being a rapist, has sort of evidence to prove it wrong, is in massive fear and thinks about suicide.** | AskReddit | jewish |
otina | Scipio817 | 1,327,358,470,000 | Sure, most of us pirate music, including myself, but I would not mind if a bill was made that made piracy very difficult or even stopped it outright. | AskReddit | jewish |
othkd | bitparity | 1,327,357,285,000 | Whenever you look at photos or videos of WW2, its always the infantry man's perspective. Shooting this-a-way and that-a-way. Followed by random artillery dropping around you. You never "see" the enemy but obviously you feel their presence. And you do your best to not get shot.
Moving a step up from this, you have the tactical, lieutenant view. People are firing at you from that direction. You know the lay of the land, and you know if you don't move people to cover that gully, the fire from that direction could decimate your squad.
Above that, you have the general view. We have reports of the 5th panzer division at the crossroads here of Belgiumtown, there were some small engagements along this river, but we think this is a screen for a diversion from their main thrust through the forest.
In each one of these scenarios, no one ever actually "sees" the enemy. So what exactly does the battlefield look like in their mind? Whenever I hear stories of like "we have engaged the 5th bavarian grenadiers" or whatever, what does that "formation" look like?
I'm reminded of what someone said of war photography once, good war photographers understand that war is primarily an emotion, and its their job to capture that.
Given that so much of modern war seems to be about shooting at ghosts and being bombed by what seems at random, it sure feels that way.
It really makes it seem like modern war is simply the world's biggest mind@#$%, and that modern games interpretation of combat as being able to see the person you're killing, is a complete illusion. | AskReddit | jewish |

ot202 | Whiskeybent341 | 1,327,338,504,000 | My dad and I were amature storm chasers, and were on the hunt for a tornado we had just gotten notice about.
We had almost given up looking for it and stopped at a gas station for something to drink. We got out the car and I spotted a stop sign falling from the sky. We looked up and there was a huge funnel cloud above us! We were just glued to where we stood staring upward..just stunned.
We just watched as it passed over us. We didnt see it touch down, but we followed the debris and wreckage into town(Fort Wayne, IN). It jumped again, and landed in the parking lot of a Best Buy..the damage wasn't severe, but still quite amazing.
One of my favorite afternoons ever. No one was killed that day.

ostbo | jokkel | 1,327,323,776,000 | You see lads, I'm tired of being that guy. You know the one. You go to his flat and watch a DVD together but the pathetic cunt doesn't have widescreen. At parties you sympathise with strangers, disassociating yourself with the outcast; 'Oh don't mind him, he doesn't have a widescreen monitor... No friend of mine. Fancy another drink?'. People tell you they're busy and can't go out but later you see them all on facebook photo albums enjoying themselves at parties you were ostracised from because of your poor resolution.
I went on a date a few days ago. We chatted, flirted, shared interests and made seductive eye contact. Things were going swimmingly until she asked what resolution I use. With what I imagined was bravado I responded '800x600'.
She froze. Neighbouring tables in the restaurant fell silent and stared. Traffic stopped in the street. Chinese schoolchildren sat shocked as televisions were wheeled in and satellite imagery of my sweating, cringing face was broadcasted around the globe as I admitted to my inferior monitor resolution.
Then the laughter. The entire restaurant clientèle erupted like hyenas and my date, at first shocked, threw her drink in my face before leaving me with the cheque. I walked home miserably as I was pelted with fruit by jeering crowds. Do you know what it's like being hit in the face with a month-old pumpkin travelling at the speed of an express train? It hurts. It really hurts.
And now, having wiped the last of the fetid vegetable pulp from my hair I ask you:
What monitor should I buy? What's a good brand?

CS agent: (literally all he said) "They know."
Me: *longer pause* "How will they know?"

So here is what i ask: All reunion stories. Did you not want to go but did anyway and had a surprisingly good time? Were you looking forward to it and it was a bust? Did you run one and have any good stories?

ou392 | Se7enwolf1 | 1,327,383,256,000 | ok so my ex will probably see this but thats ok. From my understand is I am not in any legal wrong here. I have pictures of my ex, some she gave me and some I took myself. I have posted some of the pictures on the internet over the past couple years but none of there were of her naked or doing anything sexual. Just posing and some in some what sexy outfits. To my knowledge all the pictures she sent me was of her 18 and 19 yrs old. Though today she claims that some of the pics she sent that I had posted on the net was her under 18 (im thinking 17). I never knew this and from my perspective she sent them to me with the assumption that she was of age.
Again none of the pictures posted on the net were of her nude or doing sexual things. Just posing under her own will and consent (pictures taken by her, some taken by me).
I did not post them to do harm to her or for revenge. I simple did it because I thought she was beautiful.
Though now she is threatening legal action against me if I dont have them all removed from the net. Which I willingly did but she was pretty nasty about it.
From my knowledge, research and understanding, in the US and PA (where I am), nothing that I did was illegal or of wrongful doing. She gave me the pictures wanting me to have them. Even after we had broken up and remained friends, she still would send me more from the past that she took but never gave me.
So what say you reddit?
Don't know why she is being so nasty about it but I do not wish her any harm either way. | AskReddit | jewish |

Mine is Charlie Chaplin's speech from the Great Dictator. Epic shit. | AskReddit | jewish |

I use firefox. Is there a plugin to destroy them? | AskReddit | jewish |
ou043 | thecheatah | 1,327,379,185,000 | I'll start: At the end of this week I will be "homeless". Our apartment lease is going to expire and BOA hasn't approved our loan for the house we are building. Even though it has been 3 months since we applied. I FUCKING HATE BOA. They are doing everything imaginable to delay it. I just feel very helpless. I will be staying with family until then.
I can't imagine how it must have felt for real homeless people. | AskReddit | jewish |
otzwo | digmachine | 1,327,378,939,000 | Yes. It's true. I've never seen Blade Runner. Part of the reason why is I've never figured out which version to watch as my first exposure, theatrical cut or director's cut. With some movies, the theatrical cut is superior, being leaner and leaving more to the imagination, while, with other movies, the director's cut prevails, adding scenes and elements that indeed turn out to make it shine.
Which one would you recommend and why? I'm likely making too big a deal out of it, but I don't want to watch it one way only to immediately hear from everyone on earth "Ahhh you should have watched it the other way lolololololol" | AskReddit | jewish |
otz3w | bornenormous | 1,327,377,962,000 | Is all that "arrrrrrr" and "yarrrr matey" real, or just fiction?
And if it's fiction, who made that up first? | AskReddit | jewish |
otx9g | Rampant_Durandal | 1,327,375,727,000 | Just something I was wondering about. | AskReddit | jewish |
otwms | niftyjack | 1,327,374,961,000 | The other day, I learned a (female) teacher of mine does roller derby. She's a relatively aggressive woman, heavier-set and black, so her doing roller derby must be AMAZING. I'm going to try to go see her one weekend. | AskReddit | jewish |
otpzm | GeneralFalcon | 1,327,367,185,000 | This is something I've noticed coming from some (not all) conservative pundits, especially Rush Limbaugh, and I don't really understand where the disdain lies. Wouldn't you want your leaders to be intelligent and worldly rather than high school grads or drop outs? | AskReddit | jewish |
otpks | Doporkel | 1,327,366,676,000 | Albeit I started one of the "what do you find physically attractive" posts, all of this focus on physical features is making me sad.
Let's get some substance up here - that's what makes redditors so damn cool!
Edit: The best answer I ever found was posted by a plastic surgeon in an AMA a couple of weeks ago
"Being attractive goes beyond being well-groomed and fit. Those things are important, but most importantly, be someone that other people want to be around. Have fun, live an interesting life. Don't go out trolling for ass. Go out with the intention of having a great time with your friends, enjoying a few beers, a few laughs and telling some great stories. People are attracted to the things they WANT- happiness, success, stability and interestingness. If you are living and have an aura exudes those things, people will be attracted to you." | AskReddit | jewish |
otnl9 | brodayday | 1,327,364,216,000 | Either from crime rate, or poverty, or the people living there, or really whatever. | AskReddit | jewish |
owrh9 | m1kepro | 1,327,534,265,000 | Look, I know that this is a rather touchy subject, but I thought I'd ask Reddit's opinions about the matter. As far as I understand it, a jury of 12 random citizens sat for over a month, observing evidence and listening to testimony. Following this, they could not conclude that she had in fact committed murder.
Meanwhile, the American public was fed the sensationalized version of a FEW of the facts by a news media that's more interested in advertising dollars than the truth.
So all that said, my question is this: Why does America continue to rail against the walls, screaming about her (And to a similar extent O.J. Simpson,) getting away with murder, when the proof was obviously not enough for the people who saw ALL of it? | AskReddit | jewish |
owrc9 | psychie | 1,327,534,104,000 | Today, I was in an elevator with three other guys. I'm a female and we were all getting off at the same level, since there was only one button pushed. As the doors open, I stood there. For a good minute, no one moved, I didn't even budge. I started to burst out in laughter, until one of the guys walked out of the elevator. They were all expecting me to walk out of the elevator first and I didn't. I probably made them feel really awkward after that.
What have you done, reddit? | AskReddit | jewish |
owknp | iiRockpuppy | 1,327,526,048,000 | I'm here at school, about to head off to work. But I wanted to get this stench off my shoe... I've got a sink, some rubbing alcohol (I don't want to to ruin my shoe, but if that's the only way then, well...), paper towels and about 15 minutes to let it dry (as of now, at least!)
It's been on my shoe for 3 days now! I could go home and wash it, but maybe there's someway I can get it off here? I should've taken care of it earlier, I know. Should I just completely drench it or would that only bring out the smell more? Anyway, any advice I'd really happy to take! Thanks! | AskReddit | jewish |

Burly 1: What they do?

owhew | phi_is_all | 1,327,522,237,000 | I went to grad school and now I work for a small company and I fill my days with posting stuff on facebook that I found on here to piss off/educate people.

owdm5 | ARMAcre1 | 1,327,517,586,000 | The place where I work used Groupon/Google offers and it was good, but they took most money from the whole thing so we never really made anything from it.

owcuh | thoph | 1,327,516,633,000 | I have been reading and re-reading Psalm 143, even though I am not strictly Christian. Just spiritual. Especially Buddhism soothes me. I am trying not to lose it at work. | AskReddit | jewish |
owcs6 | Whiskeybent341 | 1,327,516,552,000 | I had this close female friend long ago, lets call her Penny. Penny and I used to hang out quite a bit until she got married and we just kind of stopped hanging out. I never told her I had a crush on her, but that was because we were both unavailable to date or fuck most of the time we knew each other.
One boring Saturday night, I was pounding down some stiff drinks and gaming when out of the blue I get a call from Penny. She obviously had been drinking a bit as well. She said she was nearby at a friend's house and that her friends were upstairs fucking and she was bored. Could she come over?
At that moment I knew immediately what she wanted and I had no intention of letting this oppertunity slip by. Maybe I was being a giant scumbag for even considering it, but I could not have cared less..My cock was definitely calling the shots that night.
I told her sure and got the address from her and rang off. I hopped in my car, zipped over and picked her up. We didn't really say much on the short ride back. She caught my eye only once on the ride back and I could read the look she gave me like an open book.
I open the door to my place(I had forgotten to lock the door), and before I could close it we were on each other. I tore her clothes off and fucked her on my floor. We didn't even bother using a condom. It was quick and animalistic. After we both got off, I took her upstairs to my room and we took it much slower.
We fucked all night and passed out around 6am. When we woke up she would hardly look at me. She took a shower alone and I took her back to her friend's house. I never saw her again. She tried to call me a couple of times after that, but I didn't pick up or return her calls.
I fucked a married woman and never spoke to her again, and the fucked up part? I don't feel a tad bit guilty about it. I don't really know why.. | AskReddit | jewish |
owcmj | SpecialOpsCynic | 1,327,516,367,000 | Was talking with a colleague today, and we were debating the current realities facing America and what can/should be done to fix them. His position is that if we just trust the elected officials and get rid of the far right obstructionists Obama can save the day. He basically feels that all of the ills that plague are country exist because of a few hard line politicians and continues to insist that Obama can save America and make good on his campaign promises of 2008.
I on the other hand think that the "emperor has no clothes." The the true power in America is the .0001% or some other small group of ultra billionaires tied in to both banking and finance. From my perspective this cabal has co-opted the entire political fundraising apparatus and effectively allows the masses to elect someone from their marketing department.
Where do you guys think the real power in America lies today, and has the location of this power shifted in the last 30 years? | AskReddit | jewish |

ow9w6 | goishin | 1,327,512,875,000 | I'm writing a paper on how well the adoption of 3d display technologies by consumers is doing. What I'm interested in are things like how's the use of 3d in movies doing, how's the nintendo 3ds doing, or how the 3d glasses for home video games are doing, or 3d tv's. The problem is I don't know how to find the research on this stuff. I'm kind of out of my league when it comes to market research. Any advice for me? | AskReddit | jewish |
ow94s | AssumeTheFetal | 1,327,511,889,000 | What if thousands of people just emailed the shit out of them and also sent real mail that explicitly stated that due to those annoying fucking commercials if I EVER have a structured settlement I will go **OUT OF MY WAY** to use a competitor. Or am I the only one that has actually cursed out loud when those commercials come on because they get stuck in your head? I can't take it anymore. The man must be stopped. | AskReddit | jewish |
ow8ua | TroyPDX | 1,327,511,476,000 | Isn't the fist time always the hardest for anything? In middle school I was quite the nerd but somehow won the affection of a popular, very pretty girl. I was supposed to meet her near the school one night to hang out. I got there early and when I saw her and her friend coming I hid in a nearby bush so as to jump out and scare them. (in retrospect a pretty dumb plan from the word go)
I hesitated a bit too long and they started talking about me. The friend was basically saying I was kind of weird and not good enough to be dating this girl. The girl agreed and then said she was going to break up with me that night.
Of course right then I made some kind of noise and they found me hiding in the bush.... humiliating and awkward. Now I was a creepy stalker guy hiding in a bush as well as the nerd. I tried to explain that my plan was to jump out and scare them, not spy on them, but it came out as a babble and I just ran off. | AskReddit | jewish |
ow8qi | hflol | 1,327,511,314,000 | I saw some chain letter about how 1/3 of our entire generation has been aborted (I think the author meant the 90's generation). That number seemed really high to me. Does anyone have any sources or anything? | AskReddit | jewish |
ow341 | bighedstev | 1,327,503,220,000 | I was visiting Wisconsin for the summer 17 years ago and got caught drinking. They wrote me an underage drinking ticket and gave me a court date. I went to court, plead guilty and headed back to my home state, never bothering to pay the fine.
I never heard another word about it until today. I received a letter from the clerk of court in Wisconsin saying I have to pay the fine or face penalties and income tax refund garnishment.
Am I legally obligated to pay this fine after 17 years? Is there a statute of limitations on this kind of thing? Thanks in advance for any help!
**Edit---I just remember that I received a letter from the state of Wisconsin around 7 years after the ticket saying it had been dropped and I no longer had to pay it. Of course I don't have a copy of the letter now...** | AskReddit | jewish |
ow2ma | Arithered | 1,327,502,357,000 | Specifically, how can I communicate to my supervisor that, as nice a guy as he is, he's kind of an idiot and he's not fooling anyone? To explain a bit: the guy never had much education beyond a couple of years of high school, and is only in the position he's in due to blatant nepotism on the part of his superior, a.k.a. his uncle. Though I and my coworkers are fortunate in that he's a fairly nice guy, he's also several years younger than any of us and clearly insecure about this disparity. To cover his lack of education, he seems to think that citing nonexistent "studies" that he's read or "documentaries" he's watched makes him some sort of Athenian sage. When pressed for details and sources, he mutters something about having forgotten the details, but that he's sure of what he heard. Often, these secret founts of knowledge to which he's privy completely contradict known facts. Some gems of his: "Hey, did you guys know that the main ingredient on beer is molasses?" "Hey, I read a study that apples are actually healthier than any grown food." "Did you know that modern psychology teaches that it takes six positive statements to counteract one negative one? It's just how our brains are wired."
Now, I don't want to destroy the guy, but his totally fake scholarly affect is beginning to annoy those of us who have encountered at least high school level science. Is there some delicate way in which to broach the fact that none of us have been fooled and all of us are getting really pissed off? | AskReddit | jewish |
ovzuv | botticellilady | 1,327,496,505,000 | What do you hope to do in life better than your parents did? My #1 answer is sex ed. My sexual education consisted of an explanation of periods when the time came to have the "What's Happening to my Body?" video at school and then making it explicitly clear to "Wait Until Marriage!" Nothing else.
With my kid(s), it will be different. I will clearly explain bodily development, sexuality, birth control, etc.

ovtzw | hesapmakinesi | 1,327,479,300,000 | No matter how much alcohol I consume. apparently I cannot get "drunk". After 1/4 liters of Vodk or a bottle of wine(or several Belgian beers) which roughly eqauls 100ml of ethanol, which is about 8 standard servings of alcohol, I hit the limits of my stomach.
I feel that my motor functions get slightly impaired and my reflexes get slower but that is all. I see people around me get sillier, and some even do not remember parts of their nights(or so they claim). I am mentally intact(actually can still do maths better than my sober peers.)
I have Asperger's Syndrome and am socially quiet awkward. I keep reading alcohol helps relaxing and make people socially comfortable, and even see live examples. However, I stay the same or maybe get even more self-consious. Does anybody else have similar experiences?

ovmy5 | Glossophile | 1,327,467,293,000 | So I brush and floss my teeth at least twice a day. In my 27 years I've never had a cavity. I still have my wisdom teeth. My teeth are in pretty perfect condition. I was talking to a friend who said she only brushes once a day, right before bed and hardly ever flosses. She claimed she had never had cavities either. Another girl admitted to brushing faithfully three times a day (or more) and flossing at least once a day and had had multiple cavities. How about you? What state are your teeth in because/despite your brushing habits?

ovjy5 | altpotato | 1,327,463,544,000 | Sorry, but not sure where else I can ask this. I searched "reddit suggestions" and "suggest reddit features" and no relevant subreddits were returned.
I think Reddit should provide us with the ability to *save* individual comments, not just the entire submission. Often times there will be a useful comment (such as one with useful links) that I'll want to save, but instead I can only save the submission it belongs to. This means that if I want to find that comment in the future, I have to search through the submission to find it. | AskReddit | jewish |

I have checked forums and the android market but I just can’t find anything that will let me stream videos to my phone. The best I could get so far was Skifta which only seems to work if I’m on my wifi network. Im not always home so this doesn’t help. Other programs either require 1 or 2 other programs and only seem to bring iffy results. Anyone have any ideas? I’m ok with PC’s but I can’t code, if I have instructions I can most likely figure it out.
