r857n | TheMasque | 1,332,406,731,000 | I mean, blowjobs are great. It's nice to get them sometimes, but I feel that they are hit and miss and sometimes you can not be bothered with the general "Will I or will I not cum" from a blowjob. I also feel that handjobs are more intimate, as you can kiss or talk whilst getting them.
Edit: Also more control over the pacing of the orgasm. | AskReddit | jewish |

I work as a server at a fine-dining restaurant, and today at lunch, a table with 3 elderly ladies came in around 12pm and began what seemed to be a great lunch together.. After they finished the meal, we heard loud noises from the dining room.. I walk up to a servers station that is right near the table and i hear " obama is the worst you idiot! He doesn't do anything! You damn democrats are too old to know what is happening!! You will not have any money left for your social security!! (says the lady that needed help seating down to the lady who appeared to be about 90 years old..) And the 90 year old replied " I AM 90 YEARS OLD! I DONT NEED SOCIAL SECURITY!! I NEED THOSE DAMN REPUBLICANS TO STOP GIVING ME HEADACHE, AND YOU ARE ONE OF THEM!! ... I walked away laughing as hard as I can.. 5 minutes later, I'm standing next to the door, and all of a sudden i see the "republican" get up from the table and bolts thru the door as she yells "I AM GOING TO STRANGLE HER IF I STAY HERE 1 MORE MINUTE"..

ra5nq | Carobu | 1,332,520,916,000 | About a month ago, my parking brake failed to disengage while I was driving, and I realized something was up pretty quickly, albeit not as fast as I should have. I took it to a nearby service center, and had them look at it. They informed my my rear parking brake, and back brakes were totally ruined, and had to be replaced, so I paid the 300$ or so, (from my broke ass college student fund) on a credit card I didn't have the money to pay because I needed my car. Everything was fine.
Now, about a month later or so, I'm driving at night, and go to hit my brakes, and they are almost totally non-responsive, normally a light tap works on them, I had to jam them into the floor to slow down. After driving a bit, it's become obvious my rear brakes are totally non functioning. I called the place back, and I'm going to be taking it there soon to see what they have to say, but I'm a bit hesitant, as they JUST worked on my brakes, and I feel like they might be trying to double dip for laxidasical work. I really don't have the money to keep making these repairs, and I'm not very knowledgeable on cars, so I can't say I know what the problem is. Can Reddit help?
Should I go to them again? Get a second opinion? Does any other Redditor happen to know what might be the issue, and if it'd be their fault or not? I can find out the exact work that was done if need be, and I can update later with exactly what they tell me the issue is.
If it helps, I'm driving a 2002 Ford Focus, thanks a lot Reddit!

ra3a5 | Inoku | 1,332,517,844,000 | Americans often get flak from the Old Country for saying "I'm Irish" or "I'm Polish" or "I'm Chinese" or whatever, when we don't have Irish or Polish or Chinese citizenship. So how is it perceived in the Old Country when Americans do ethnic-specific activities in order to stay in touch with their heritage? Do you think of these things as Americans really trying to stay in touch with their heritage or are they perceived more as ethnic kitsch?
Examples:
* This [wonderful clip](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS1aFVVOJmg&feature=player_detailpage#t=208s) about "Greek school" from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Similar after-school or weekend heritage schools exist for many groups, like this [after-school Hebrew school](http://www.boston-ics.org/) for Jews or this [Saturday school Lithuanian school](http://www.blsm.org/index_english.htm) for Lithuanians.
* Private schools like this [Armenian school](http://www.ssaes.org/) near Boston that teach either entirely in the heritage language or bilingually in the heritage language and English.
* Heritage cultural groups like this [awesome Armenian folk dance group](http://www.sayatnova.com/index.html) or this [Polish amateur theatre group](http://www.patobinc.org/)?
* Ethnic heritage-themed summer camps, like this [chain of Hebrew-language camps for Jews](http://www.campramah.org/) or [this Armenian camp](http://www.camphaiastan.org/welcome-letter/).

ra2pd | Tarkaan | 1,332,517,131,000 | **Back Story:**
I just moved to Brazil with my wife. She's a university student. One of her friends came to me, wanting me to "check" a translation that was made by a professional translator, for a 5-page abstract of a medical journal article (Portuguese to English).
It was TERRIBLE. It was like they ran it through Google Translate and shipped it. It just was not a functional translation. It was not usable as it was. I spent a few hours with it and made it beautiful, and I sent it.
***She paid R$400 (US$200) for this translation.***
Now, I loathe when people rip off college kids. I was there once. So I printed up some flyers and sent my wife to her university to put them up.
**Story:**
So I'm sitting here thinking, well, all professional translators use some kind of software, so I downloaded SYSTRAN. Now I understand why this idiot's translation was so terrible.
I've tested SYSTRAN. Putting a paragraph through it and google translate yields MUCH better results from Google Translate. For example, the name Ivan Fuentes was translated to "Ivan Sources", and the "reunida" was translated to "reunited" instead of "met" in SYSTRAN. Google Translate does not make those mistakes.
**Questions:**
Should I be using something other than SYSTRAN?
Is there something that integrates Google Translate and MS Word that I can use instead?
Do I even need this crap?

r9z6v | Whiskeybent341 | 1,332,512,389,000 | True story. Buddy of mine came over to hang out, drink, and watch movies. We found out about a house party, and decided to go. I told him to hang tight while I took a shower. I have this bad habit of turning the shower on, then shaving, brushing teeth ect. while the shower runs. Drives my girl nuts, seriously. Anywho, done with shaving; I notice I don't have a towel. So I went next door to my room to grab a towel.
I open the door and my buddy is in there. He shoots up quick, pants around his ankles, and erection bobbing up and down. I just stood there shocked. Then I noticed my sister's teddy bear in his hand..
"Dude..were you seriously jerking off...with my sisters teddy bear....? What..wh.." I was just floored. I mean who does that?! He just mumbled something about clean up after her tossed the bear on my bed and pulled up his pants.
I'm still struggling for words, and starting to get really pissed off as the audasity of his actions start to sink in. Finally, I tell him to grab the fucking bear and get the fuck out of my house. He just slunk past me and I heard the back door slam.
I noticed that he left fappy the bear on the bed, so I grab it and ran out of the house, up to his car, opened the door and threw it in his face, "You forgot something asshole!" | AskReddit | jewish |
r9ywj | Turnshroud | 1,332,511,988,000 | Reddit's been known for sticking up for people, helping bully victims and being very charitable. By posting a single link, Reddit (and other communities as well, but let's focus on Reddit) can make a difference. Word spreads, and although a few people might be skeptical or bash the original poster, the majority of people shun them in favor of helping the person, or people in need.
Most people will know that the bystander effect states that when others are around in the presence of a person needing aid, people are less inclined to help because "someone else will do it." Furthermore, it states that (or another theory or idea, I forget which), unless someone decides to aid the person, no one else will step up to the task. Unless someone initiates the process, everyone else will just (for a lack of a better word) stand by.
So Reddit, what’s it about the internet that makes you more willing to help someone? Is it because you’re anonymous in a crowd of thousands (and even millions)? Is it because you know that hundreds of people will rush to post? Or are you genuinely being altruistic and just wanting to help?

r9sfk | TheNessman | 1,332,497,336,000 | >We're Listening. Seriously.
By Macon Phillips, Special Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Digital Strategy
Back in September when we launched the We the People petitions platform, we really weren't sure what to expect. This kind of online engagement was brand new for the U.S. Government, but it quickly became clear that there were thousands of Americans across the country who were eager to tell the Obama Administration about the issues they care about most.
From the beginning, we promised that every petition that crosses the signature threshold will be reviewed by policy experts in the Administration. Each of the 97 petitions that have crossed the signature threshold so far have been carefully reviewed by experts here at the White House and in agencies across the federal government, and the majority have already been answered, with more coming every week.
To help you better understand how we review petitions and create responses, we put together this short video:
We may not agree with the policy views expressed in every petition (for example, we believe we do take these petitions seriously!), and gathering enough signatures to meet the signature threshold does not guarantee that the Administration will change our policy on a specific topic. But in many cases, petitions posted on We the People have helped spur discussions of important policy issues here at the White House and across the Administration, and we've used the We the People platform to announce changes in policy or continue a dialogue with people who have an interest in the issue.
For example, in January, the White House outlined what we will and will not support when it comes legislative approaches to combat online piracy in response to two petitions. The popularity of these two petitions helped to spur a discussion among policy experts at the White House that eventually led to the response.
In September, a group of animal rights activists started a petition asking the Obama Administration to crack down on commercial breeders who sell puppies online. In response to this petition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced that they were in the process of developing a proposed rule that would cover internet breeders under the Animal Welfare Act.
Another petition asking the Obama Administration to digitize federal records caught the attention of the National Archives and Records Administration. In response to that petition, David Ferrero, the Archivist of the United States, held a conference call with petition signers to get their ideas on how to move forward and how to prioritize which records were digitized first.
These are just a few examples of the many ways that the We the People platform has contributed to policy discussions that have taken place throughout the Administration, and we're looking forward to many more to come.
The bottom line is that launching We the People is another step we've taken to harness the power of the internet to include more Americans in the work of the White House. We're the first to admit there's more to do -- and we could use your help figuring out how we can improve. You can submit your feedback here or using the #WHWeb hashtag on Twitter.
Thanks for taking the time to participate in We the People. We look forward to hearing from you again.

r974p | Micosilver | 1,332,461,786,000 | Here is mine:
We were in Vegas, and my wife booked a couple of shows to see on different nights. Or so she thought: on the night on the second show ("O" by Cirque Du Soleil) we realize that she booked both shows on the same night - yesterday night. My wife is in tears, the vacation is ruined. I tell her: OK, you screwed up, but let's give it a shot, I have a feeling they might help us.
We go to the ticket desk of the show (I think it was at Bellagio), the show is sold out, tons of people are picking up their tickets. We stand in line, get to the customer service lady, and I explain to her the situation - that we know it is our fault, we realize they are not obligated to help (they didn't even have to refund us), but we wanted to see if there is anything they could do for us.
She says that she needs to check, leaves,comes back in a couple of minutes and says: "We can't get you the same seats that you had for yesterday - sorry about that, but if you are willing to pay for the difference - we have a couple of seats for you IN A BETTER SECTION!"
The vacation was saved right then and there.

rbqkb | MrDNL | 1,332,618,179,000 | We should be giving credit where credit is due. Unfortunately, we often upload images to imgur instead of linking right to the source of a photo. This sucks, though, because it doesn't give creators and curators the credit they're due. Let's fix this.
My idea: Allow for text with non-self submissions; encourage people to link directly to the source; and in the optional text area, encourage people to put up links to mirrors.
Imgur is preferred for two big reasons:
1. Because a lot of sites can't handle the traffic load from reddit and
2. To reduce blogspam
This fixes the first problem. It could make the second one worse, but if people are spamming, nuke them -- don't take out those bloggers and others out there for whom a reddit front page hit could mean the world of difference to their site.

Why in america can we live in a society where I TV and movies we can show an underage male or female swearing, stealing, commiting acts of violence or anything else along those lines and no one will even bat an eyelash at it, but if the idea of an underage person (age 14-17) having "underage" sex people go into a frenzy! I just want to know why this is? Any parents that could help me out? I know redditors have strong opinions (one of the reasons I joined reddit) so I want to know from your guys/girls explanations of this! | AskReddit | jewish |

rbfoe | guraqt06 | 1,332,601,620,000 | I'm a casual computer user, one of those people who use their mac to connect to the internet (although having a mac has made me a lot more interested in computers, I didn't need it nearly as much as I thought I did at the time). I've become very interested in computers (and technology in general) since I've started reading reddit and I'd like to learn more about them. I try to google things and keep up when computer people weigh in on threads, but I'm overall very lost. I started the free beginning coding class on Stanford's website, but I was confused by the third lesson. Any advice about how to get started? Resources I should check out? Thanks in advance! | AskReddit | jewish |
rbfai | AliDimayev | 1,332,600,893,000 | Long story short, there was the girl that I was friends with who I started to have feelings for. I told her and she told me she just wanted to be friends. So for the following 4 months I did that- I stayed friends with her and didn't say or do anything weird/otherwise. The problem was I still really liked her so about half the time I was with her it was like mental anguish going on inside my head.
This was further compounded by the fact that she had few friends, so all the stuff we would do 'as friends' (go to movies, go out to eat, go to museums, boston, nyc, cook and eat dinner together) was always just the two of us. So my feelings never subsided.
Finally on Christmas (we went to the movies together), I told her I still liked her. She just shrugged her shoulders. For the following month we didn't see/speak. At the end of January she went to visit her family (in California). She was there for six weeks. During those six weeks I contacted her via email once to wish her a happy birthday. She didn't respond.
For the rest of those six weeks, I forgot about her. I just did stuff. I made some closer friends with coworkers and I wasn't missing her or anything.
This past week she arrived back here and she emailed me asking me 'How have you been???' and saying a few other things.
Now in the past, I would have responded as soon as I read the email, but I stopped and thought 'but she ignored me the past 2 months and couldn't even merely say thank you when I wished her a happy birthday?!'
So should I respond or not? | AskReddit | jewish |

rba0t | FutzBucket | 1,332,586,159,000 | I'm 37 years old, single, never married, no kids. I currently have virtually no friends short of online buddies (heh, so I guess I have virtual friends), and, of course, no current girlfriend.
I consider myself a rather normal guy. I'm average looking, average intelligence, I work a pretty standard job, and I think most consider me rather laid-back.
The problem is I've started to really think about all the relationships I've had, and I've been coming to the conclusion that I've never really ever had a friend or a girlfriend. Don't get me wrong, I've had people in my life that I spent a lot of time with, and I enjoyed that time, but when I look back now upon the entire relationship, I realize that that person wasn't what I thought they were.
Every one of my relationships have come to an end, and with that ending I would realize that while I was thinking that person was with me because they liked me (and I'm sure that was a part of it), the truth was they were only with me because of some other reason. It wasn't me they wanted to be close to, it was my car, my apartment, my wallet, my couch, my job, something other than to just be with me.
I'm started to think that...well...that that's just how it is. Like, this whole concept of always knowing someone's there for you and you're there for them is bullshit. That people just don't really connect like that. That the only way you could ever get that, is by figuring out what it is that the person *really* wants from you, and then do everything you can to make sure that is always something you can offer. And who the hell wants a relationship like that?
But then in this sadness the true horror starts to show. See, people do have life-long relationships. I see it. I hear of it all the time. People say things like, "yeah, I'm getting together tonight with so-and-so that I've known since childhood." I've never said that. And you know what, I never will.
My parents got a divorce when I was very young, and I then spent my childhood moving from area to area. This began when I was in the 2nd grade, and went on till I was about 18. At some times, I spent as little as two weeks in a school before we moved somewhere else. I learned to adapt, and I took friendship as I could. I learned to accept and be grateful for any kind of connection, and to also not allow myself to build any feeling toward someone, as it's only a matter of time before someone just decides that everything is going to go away.
So, it's not people...it's me. I'm fucked up. I'm broken. Maybe I'm not. Maybe I've just had bad luck. Maybe I have poor taste in who I call a friend. It doesn't matter though, because here's the most fucked up thing about it...
I think I'm okay with that.
For as long as I remember, I've almost constantly beaten myself up for not having that connection. I've hated myself for not being like I see other people. When I started to see that the problem, whatever it is, is me...well, that means this problem is going to always be an issue with me. So...if it's just always going to be there, then what's the point in giving a shit about it?
Don't get me wrong, I still fantasize about things like...you know...I'm cooking something in the kitchen and I hear a knock at my door, I yell, "it's open", and in walks in ol' dood. He's all, "sup, man, whatcha up to?" "Nadda, just cookin' 'sketti. You wanna help me eat this shit?" "Fuck yeah, man. I was thinking about that new Spiderman movie later." "I'm down." Then we go check it, score a six-pack and head back where we kill it while playing Tekken. Then he's all, "Man, fuck, I gotta head home before my girl flips", we fist bump and say "lata".
I know most people dream about being a ninja, or really rich, or banging some supermodel, but that's what I dream. I know this is gonna sound kinda fucked up, but I'd think of jokes and shit we'd say to each other and I'd for real start to laugh out loud. Then at the end when I realize that all I'm really doing is just eating spaghetti alone I would sometimes break down and just cry. It fucking killed me for years.
But now that I know that it's just never going to change, I don't hurt about it anymore. I still have that fantasy, and I still laugh, but it doesn't hurt anymore. It's like...some people were born without an arm...I was just born alone. *shrugs* Luck of the draw.
It's got me worried though. Everything in my head tells me that this isn't natural, and I might be making a mistake or something...but everything in my heart tells me it's okay, and this is just the way it is and to just stop thinking about it. "Hey, man", my heart tells me, "dood, if you're really wanting company, just get a cat."
And you know what? That sounds like a pretty fucking good idea. | AskReddit | jewish |

rb4o9 | matty127 | 1,332,569,288,000 | I'm currently scheduled to debate this topic in my politics class, I was assigned to the side against legalizing gay marriage. Personally I Support Gay Marriage, My Belief is it doesn't effect my life or happiness so why should I be able to effect what happens in their lives and effect their happiness. However my feelings don't matter on the topic it's solely graded on a persuasive 10 minute arguement based on the side you were given. That being said I'm not a religious muslim so I can't argue why they believe it's so wrong or impure (homosexuality in general) or christian, so I can't argue from a religious viewpoint of why marriage is a sacred union between a man and a women due to the fact i'm not observant. the only religion i've seen that really doesn't care about ones sexual orientation would be Judaism but again not affiliated with the faith so I can't argue from their viewpoint either. What do you guys think? should it be legalized on a federal level, Made Illegal on a federal level or stay in the hands of each individual state? Why do you believe whatever option you do?

rcqje | PaperTowelBear | 1,332,689,631,000 | Hey Reddit,
First, I hope that this is the correct subreddit to ask this question in.
Second, **tl;dr Bought my first house, was never told that the back yard floods. Got an estimate today which is just shy of $4000. Do I have any recourse or am I SOL?**
Finally,
I bought my first house in Indianapolis, Indiana and closed after thanksgiving. I thought I had done my due diligence by getting the house inspected.
I was informed buy my real estate agent that this property is not in a flood plain (which is true). However, I'm now finding that the backyard floods whenever it rains, leaving it unusable for a few days because of standing water, and then for a few more days after that until the ground dries up.
When I had moved in the neighbors asked me if I knew that the backyard floods, and if the real estate agents had told me about it. I said that no I didn't. I figured at the time it wouldn't be too bad, and that when spring comes I'd figure out how I could fix it, and how much it would cost. Well, spring is here now, and I had someone out to take a look today and give me a quote. The guy that was here said that I would need to get a french drain installed, the estimate he gave me was just a bit shy of $4000.
I had bought the house from an owner-agent. This person had purchased the home at foreclosure at the start of 2011, and fixed it up and listed it 5 or 6 months later. I don't see how he would not have known that the backyard was flooding.
Do I have any recourse? Or am I SOL and should just chalk this up to a lesson learned and pay for it myself?

I never light three things (cigarettes or what not) with a lighter without putting it out, waiting, then relighting it at least once. Silly, I know, but here's why.
My grandfathers and many of their brothers were WW2 vets. When I was a kid my grandfather was lecturing me about fire safety and, tangentially, told me that this was a soldiers' superstition. It's origin, he said, was in the trenches in WW2. If you and some buddies decided to have a smoke, an enemy sniper could spot you in the dark by the time you lit the first one, draw a bead by the time the second was lit, and shoot on the third. Obviously it's rather silly, but I always followed it consciously as a reminder of him, and after all these years its just a reflex.

My dad's friend has a son that goes to a public school (12 year old and also Jewish). They had to do a project about someone they strive to be.

Another student decided to do his project on Bin Laden and was also quite insulting to both Jews and Americans.

Even though he was only joking, the answer would be obvious. As long as we can see things for ourselves, we can use our intellect and understanding to make sense of a situation.
So what are some of the things we see going on around us?
We see the Israeli government sending the most advanced medical teams to Haiti & Japan to aid in their recent emergency recovery efforts.
We see Israeli scientists teaming up with representatives of other countries to assist them in turning their arid deserts into fertile lands.
We see throughout history the Jewish Fundamentalists, you know - those guys with the long beards, black coats and black hats - building schools, soup kitchens and charity organizations to benefit themselves and their neighbors.
We see thousands of Jews of all backgrounds pouring out into the streets to find one lost kidnapped boy.
We see modern democracies basing their laws and ethics on the principles laid out in the “Old Testament”.
We see Jews at the forefront of every major social movement initiated for the betterment of man – even if they don’t always turn out that way.
We see Jews in every country on the globe living peaceably with their neighbors.
We see more medical innovations and patents coming out of the Jewish nation than all other nations combined.
We see Jews being granted Nobel prizes far in excess of their overall percentage of the world’s population.
We see Jews fighting alongside Christians for school vouchers to benefit all private school children and to protect the moral and ethical standards of our society.
We see Israeli hospitals treating injured suicide bombers, pregnant Arab women and the critically ill of their warring neighbors.
What do we NOT see?
Jews in Arizona slitting the throats of Mexicans who dare to invade America.
Jews in London blowing up train stations to protest against escalating anti-Semitism.
Jews in Mumbai recklessly shooting hotel guests and passersby who differ with their ideology.
Jewish suicide bombers.
Jews massacring Nazi, Arab, Christian or czarist children while they sleep.
Jews destroying religious sites in America, France, England, Russia or even Germany.
Jews sending rockets into civilian areas to drive their enemies into the sea.
It was the Jews who brought the concept to the world that “He who saves even one life, is as if he saved the entire universe.”
For 2,000 years, no one has ever seen Jews as aggressors anywhere in the world. So what makes the world believe that we are doing that now in the land of Israel?
I ask you - who are you going to believe, the media or your eyes?
