qkj4b | jennifl | 1,331,062,001,000 | I think Rush does have a point when he said, "...wants us to pay for her to have sex..." What do you guys think? And for those who think this whole debate is about women's rights/rights to her body, can you please elaborate why you feel this way? I don't think the government should pay for this (why should it?) and I don't think it has anything to do with women's rights (seems like this is a common cop-out...not sure it really applies in this case?). Basically, Reddit, I want to hear your thoughts on all of this! | AskReddit | jewish |
qkhr3 | FrusTrick | 1,331,060,326,000 | I recently found out that due to the fact that I have not handed in enough IA's in physics SL I am not going to be getting the IB diploma at the end of IB2. however I am very reluctant to retake another year of IB because of only one subject so my question is as follows:
If I have the required certificates to continue studying within the economical field, will I still need to have the diploma?
I am thinking of attending uni in Sweden as I live here but very few people that I know over here have taken IB, let alone failed it...
Any help is appreciated! | AskReddit | jewish |

qkgra | zyzzogeton | 1,331,059,095,000 | I used to use EveryDNS, but it was acquired by DynDNS a while back and no longer hosts domain names for free. I hadn't bothered to fix the problem because the only thing I had on my domain was my CV.
Then I lost my job last week and I find myself in need of a low cost (preferably free) DNS host so I can direct the dozen or so hits I get a month to my skeletal site.
There are lots of free DNS's out there where you can choose from a list of root domains, but I would like to host my own root domain, and a single host (and mx entry). I can't (reliably) use my home internet because my IP address isn't static.
Anyone out there know of a good DNS host? | AskReddit | jewish |

qkf1j | SpecialOpsCynic | 1,331,056,977,000 | After reading about the Walmart CEO who makes more per hour then cashiers make annually I started thinking as a shareholder how do I feel about that. Does anyone in the company I am invested in deserve 350-500x more money per hour then someone else? Would that money perhaps be better for my bottom line if it was distributed differently amongst the employees, capping the differential at say no more then a multiplier of say 50 times. Same would be true for bonuses and the idea of forgivable loans or handing over massive stock options.
Obviously their would be screams of Socialism and or abuse from the 1%, or anyone making these massive salaries but I am ok with that. Privately held companies would be free to do anything they wanted, or maybe you feel no they should be capped to at some number.
Does anyone on Reddit have a well thought out position where you can tell me a company like Walmart, Goldman Sachs or any other publicly traded corporation should be allowed to do this? Or am I correct in my suspicion that the people making salary decisions are the ones getting the most benefit and they could care less what those of us, and by those of us I mean 90% of the American population, in the bottom percentiles think. | AskReddit | jewish |

qk20x | franktrainjr | 1,331,035,351,000 | I'll start. I used to swim in school. I was also on the summer team. One night right before a home meet I stayed out late, not doing anything wrong just not getting sleep like I was supposed to. My first event wasn't until 10:00 or so, and I was going to sleep in until around 9:45, we lived close to the pool, and just walk over in time to do my thing. Well my folks knew I was super tired and what not so to punish me for this my Dad signed me up for the first event, at 8:00. He wakes me up with 10 minutes to spare after around 4 hours of sleep. I have to run to the pool and if the water hadn't been freezing I very well might have drowned. I don't remember anything until I hit the water. Never neglected sleep before anything important again. | AskReddit | jewish |
qjtzy | kokobuttbean | 1,331,015,092,000 | My mom and I were having a discussion about health insurance, and in our work experiences (she was a nurse, I've worked for a bank) we've been told what company will cover our health insurance. I've read about insurance companies that are discussing to or have already stopped carrying coverage for birth control for "religious purposes." If this is the case, why should any individual be trapped in a plan because that's what their job only offers them?

qjm2i | TheMasque | 1,331,004,686,000 | I've always liked classical culture, especially classical dialogue (like in Spartacus blood and sand xD). As such, rather than delivering drole and superficial compliments, I have decided to bring out the heavy guns. My best example is "You are as wise as you are honorable". I typically use it ironically with a smile (often with an affected asian accent), but it can also be used sarcastically as an insult.

qjcj6 | xtqfh | 1,330,992,901,000 | I have had Auto insurance since last summer. I had put 7500 km/year annual usage on the policy, and I have already used it up. So I called to increase my annual mileage. Problem is they asked me where I work, and I said self-employed instead of unemployed. I donno what got to me..
Anyway he decided to follow up on the question, and I was too deep to back out ... He said what industry and I said real estate ... He asked what parent company, And I named a company. That was it. Then he moved to other questions.
I don't want to keep this. I have my policy exactly as it should be and I don't want a hiccup should I have to file a claim one day. I figured I let a few months slide then I call again and say I'm unemployed. Even if I get a job, it will have nothing to do with real estate because I don't even work in it - it was just the easiest to name.

It seems to me that we're right at the centre of a pendulum swing and the whole of western society could either go strongly toward authoritarianism (and acceptance that personal privacy is antiquated and improper), or just as strongly toward extreme distaste for government interference in peoples' lives (and increased personal privacy).

So this morning @ 4:50 am, my roomate (who thank god, spends every waking minute on Skyrim) woke me up with the word "Fire. Dude i think the fridge is on fire." Me, thinking the house is actually on fire, flies down the staircase, and we discover the Kenmore elite refridgerator that once served our house so faithfully, is now spewing black electrical smoke.
Cut to 5:10 am, we unplugged it from the fridge and call 911. Well, not only did the firetrucks come, but so did a police car, ambulance, and helicopter. The brigade came inside and opened the fridge, and, their was a ton of smoke.
So now, at 6:44 am, its on the front porch of the house, and the contents of the fridge are in the trashcan. A Kenmore Elite refridgerator who once served my house faithfully; has now died. But, i can give a shit less. Im thankful my roomate moved in less than 3 weeks ago, because if it wasn't for him....i probably wouldnt be typing this right now. So reddit????

I decided it might be fun to become penpals with someone, so that I can write letters at night. But not just one person. I want to be penpals with Reddit. All of Reddit.
So, if you message me your address details, I will send you a handwritten letter, plus some kind of doodad (like a key or a button or a sticker) or drawing. You can decide if you want to write me back or not, my return address will be on the back of the envelope.
I have already written one letter, and I'm up for more. What do you say?
Edit: To all those asking, yes, I will send you a letter. I do not care where you live. If you can give me an address where mail can be delivered, I will send you a letter. Even you. Yes, even all the way out there.
Edit2: Remember when I said I had already written one letter, about two paragraphs up there ^? Yeah, make that fifty-one, not one. And yes, I am still up for more.
Edit3: Everyone who asks and provides an address will get a letter. Not everyone's letter will go out today, but regardless of when you ask, you will receive a letter.
Edit4: Not that it matters, but I'm female. Kinda getting over being called "Sir". :P
So far, letters are going to:

qlcj3 | sparr | 1,331,098,558,000 | I communicate with a lot of different people in a lot of different ways. For most of the people with whom I communicate most often, I do so in multiple different ways. I have always been disappointed in the lack of integration between different forms of electronic communication. Here I'm going to catalog all of the ways that I communicate with people, and some of the solutions I've come across to combine and integrate them. Hopefully someone can point out some additional ways to improve the situation.
I communicate with voice. I can initiate this in my phone's Dialer app to other phone numbers (which identifies me to the caller by my mobile phone number), in my phone's Google Voice app to other phone numbers (from my Google voice number), on gmail.com to a phone number (from an apparently random number that rarely changes for a particular call recipient), on gmail.com to another Google Talk or GMail user (from my gmail name), on voice.google.com (from my Google Voice number), on Skype on my desktop or phone to another Skype user (from my skype username), on Skype to a phone number (from a random number). I can receive calls to my mobile phone number, which rings my phone or falls through to my Google Voice number and voicemail box, or directly to my Google Voice number which rings my mobile phone and voice.google.com and gmail web interfaces, or to my Google Talk account on my desktop but not on my phone.
I communicate in instant messages. I can initiate this on my desktop or phone from an app specific to the IM service being used, or from a multi-protocol IM app. I can receive messages the same ways, with varied per-service caveats for trying to use the same IM account from two devices at the same time.
I communicate in SMS. I can send SMS from gmail.com on the desktop but not on my phone, and receive similarly, and they appear from a number that might be random but doesn't often change for a specific recipient. I can send SMS from the Google Voice phone app or voice.google.com on my desktop, which appears to be from my Google Voice number. I can receive SMS in all of these locations as well.
I communicate in email. I do this using a number of accounts, and can initiate or receive from mail clients on any device or from the web interface for the account. This is notable for being the *only* method of communication where it is always easily possible to make historical/logged communications visible to all devices that might access an account.
I communicate in website messaging systems. Facebook, OKCupid, etc. Each of these has its own proprietary web interface, and often its own mobile apps. These usually allow centralized storage of contacts and message histories, but not always.
Those are the primary ways that I communicate. I use almost every one of them every day. The ways that they integrate with each other are much less numerous...
Many IM services can be combined into one desktop or phone app, or one web service, with contact information merged across services. GTalk + AIM + gmail.com SMS can be combined on gmail.com. Phone numbers + AIM + GTalk contact information can be synced on my Android phone, with additional syncing for Facebook and other contact locations provided by apps. Email from multiple providers can be handled by one email client on each platform, or centralized with a webmail service.
Some of these integrations provide very handy shortcuts. If I am on gmail.com on my desktop and we are chatting using gtalk then you go offline, I am given the option to immediately switch to SMS. If we are talking via SMS and you come online, I am prompted to switch to gtalk.
Some of them have horrible caveats. If you send an SMS to my gmail #, it will not be visible to me on my phone in any way other than logging into gmail.com in a browser and explicitly viewing my Chats history. If you send me a message on gtalk, it may appear on my phone or my desktop web interface or my desktop gtalk app, with little predictability, and I might not see the message until I get back to the platform it showed up on. Most IM apps provide no way to synchronize logs, so I can't recall on my desktop what we discussed on my phone, or vice versa.
Obviously it is unlikely that anyone will ever integrate all of these forms of communication. What I'd like to find is a way to integrate even 25% of them. I'd love to find some way to get my gmail.com SMS and voice.google.com SMS to work together. Or to get my phone dialing and voice.google.com dialing and gmail.com dialing to work together. Or to find out when I receive an email somewhere other than gmail that the sender is online on a non-gtalk IM service. Or to place a phone call to someone who has just sent me a non-gtalk IM. Or...

Today I finally got a chance to install them and long story short they arent what the guy said they were. Even worse I think that he took other parts and mismatched them in order to deceive me.
I still have the guys phone number and address saved in my phone but I dont even know how to try and approach it or if theres even anything I can do, ya know?
My room mate suggested that I start out by sending him a text saying there might be a mistake and see how he handles it, which I think is a pretty good start but I want to hear your guys opinions.
Also, I know he's somehow affiliated with an auto repair shop (he mentioned this when we were talking although I met him at his house) Dont know how that fits in but I thought it might be useful information.
(for those curious: It was suppose to be a DA Integra master cylinder and brake booster but now that I'm looking more closely, it appears to be a 13/16 Civic dx MC with an integra brake fluid reservoir attached.)

I don't talk on the phone very often, and when I do, it's pretty rare that I'm far from a wifi signal. I want to just buy an itouch and use voip and if people can't reach me the rest of the time, that's just fine by me. I'm paying my own way through massage therapy school, so every bit of money counts.
But if I cancel, it's gonna cost me $160 right now. If I stick it out and wait until my plan is up in 5 months, that's gonna cost $300 (but stretched out a little more).
The way to get out of this is to transfer the account to a real life person. So if there is somebody out there in Internet who is thinking about getting an AT&T phone anyway, maybe we could help each other out.
Alternatively, if anybody has any good advice on other ways of breaking the contract, I would appreciate them. | AskReddit | jewish |

qn1nb | politicaldan | 1,331,190,182,000 | I have a plan that's been slowly working itself out over the past few years in the back of my head. I decided to write it all down for posterity. Contrary to popular belief, I don't ever want to be President. There are people much, much smarter than I for that role but I do have a few ideas just in case I wake up someday as POTUS.
Our great country is infected by festering sores of urban blight, high crime and little to no quality education. Even if a child can somehow make it out of these scenarios, it's almost virtually impossible that they can attend a university. (And even more impossible that they can do it without crushing mountains of student loan debt.) Children as young as 9 years old have been arrested for armed assault, 14 for prostitution, and 12 for larceny. The solution up to now has depended on whatever side of the political spectrum has tried to help. For the left, it's handing out free condoms and no parental notification on abortions to keep the birth rate down. For the right, it's community centers and faith based programs.
Neither of these work. People still have unprotected sex and find a teenager that wants to go to church. While social workers do their best, horror stories still abound from the hopelessly overworked system of Child Welfare Services. In some areas of the country, up to 80% of the populace is on some sort of public assistance.
So what do I propose?
I believe that corporations should be legally allowed to adopt children. If my plan were to be enacted, employees of Google, Microsoft, or Apple for instance, could register with the company their desire to become corporate foster parents. The list of couples waiting to adopt runs into the millions, and it only makes sense that a lot of these people would have comfortable jobs working for Fortune 500 companies. Google would then legally adopt a child from a high risk area (say, inner-city Detroit) from a candidate parent that would meet the qualifications (for instance, a teen mother, a mother with a history of substance abuse, extreme poverty, etc) and place them in the care of their two parent corporate family unit. The "corporate parents" would then receive additional bonuses from Google for the health and welfare of the child. In addition, Google would then receive tax breaks from the Federal government, providing incentive as well as a financial stimulus. It's a win/win situation. The mother would know that her child is being raised by more than capable, deserving, loving parents with a great shot for a real future. The child would escape the violence and decay of the street "culture" he was unfortunately born into.
The child would grow up as any normal child, but would go to a specialized school at the site of the corporation, for children adopted by that corporation. He would learn all the normal subjects, but from an early age, also be immersed in the corportate culture and know how to run a boardroom, invent the latest technological breakthrough, sell the best product, etc. At graduation of corporate high school, the child would be able to apply anywhere he wants to go to school knowing his adopted parents can afford it. The child would be getting a million dollar education, for free, and the corporation is raising the next generation of CEO's, CFO's, engineers, etc who have grown up knowing that company and how it works.
Should the child not want this lifestyle, he would only be obligated to spend four years working for that corporation before he could be free to choose his own employment elsewhere. It would be a slap in the face to the corporation who invested nearly two decades and millions of dollars training him, but ultimately it would be the child's decision.
The other half of my plan involves families who are morally/economically capable of raising children but still need to rely on public assistance, ie government welfare, such as EBT and WIC. This plan is simpler. Welfare checks would still keep arriving at their regular intervals with no change in amount. However, in the case of WIC, the parents would sign a contract stating that upon the age of 18 or graduation from high school (whichever comes last) the child would be commited to four years of government service. Typically, this would be the military where the child could serve his country and repay Uncle Sam for his financial kindness when he was growing up and at the same time learn a valuable trade, have a strong sense of discipline instilled in him, be paid for it and be eligible for the Montgomery GI bill, providing up to $50,000 for college, (something his parents would have a hard time doing). At the end of four years, around age 22, his obligation to the federal government would be paid in full.
Should the child not be fit for military service or not willing, there are many other humanitarian options that would be a viable alternative, such as Teach for America, Americorps, various civil service projets, etc. Again, a four year commitment would be the only stipulation for service.
With my plan, the government gets a little something back for their money and a better trained and equipped workforce with lower numbers on public welfare and lower crime rates are the results. Instead of the current system of relying on the government for everything, it's a mutually beneficial arrangement.

qmun1 | KSW1 | 1,331,179,830,000 | I will say, before I ask my question, I just discovered r/racism, but this something that has bothered me for a long time, and I would love to hear some other opinions on it. So, rather than barging into a subreddit I know nothing about, I'd like to ask you guys here.
I am a white man. Most of the people in my city are black, so I think I have an interesting, but certainly not superior view on this topic. But, I think the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it. And to get specific about it, I think i have to step on toes (which, hilariously enough, can bring out cries of "RACIST!").
I'm tired of white people assuming someone is ghetto because they are black. The color of your skin need not affect how you carry yourself, regardless of stereotypes.
I'm tired of hearing the black people that demand they stop being oppressed for being black. Maybe it's totally different where you are from, but here, on the news, in music, in art, the black man is still "held down". What I see as evidence that that is untrue, is the fact that black people are sometimes given preferential treatment for their color, specifically so that a workplace or school will have an equal distribution of colors. That doesn't bother me, but when color takes precedence over qualifications or ability, that's just as racist as refusing treatment to a black man because you think his color is inferior. It's what some people call "counter-racism" and if I bring this up to people who are very race sensitive, they would likely say that I myself, am a racist and I fail to grasp how judged the black man really is.
An example of this, that I often hear, is look at the amount of black people in jail! Most people in America that are in jail are black, therefore, America=racist. I've honestly heard this argument come up in personal discussions, and in public, as far broadcast as NPR. It's not a legitmate point. The people who harp on this, in my opinion, do the same thing that a company does when it hires a black man because he's black: They are looking at the color, and not the qualifications (in this case, committing a crime). Now we could get into why so many black people commit crimes (and arguably, why so many white criminals *aren't* in prison, but that might be another subject)
Reddit, I know this is so long, and it isn't very well worded. For that I apologize. But I would love some feedback. Am I alone? Do I hate black people? Do you? Talk to me.
**TL:DR; "If you want to eliminate racism, stop calling me a white man, and I'll stop calling you a black man." Is this a valid idea or not?** | AskReddit | jewish |
