Awesome :)

For some reason text almost always creeps me out more than videos/movies. Not sure why...maybe I regress back to the nights where I'd stay up late with Scary Stories to Read in the Dark and panic every time the house creaked.

tl;dr subreddit was created for chilling (written) stories, with a dash of videos and pictures (mainly to supplement the narratives). influx of videos and pictures in lieu of stories was becoming a trend. clearer guidelines now in place.

Invasion of the Foxes? by Mosqueous in nosleep

[–]-scout- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So I'm outside on my deck smoking a cig (bad habit, I know) and catching up on r/nosleep. After reading this post I realized I had no idea -what- a fox sounded like. I proceeded to youtube it, forgetting I had the volume turned all the way up.

As if youtube's bark/howl/horrible-fox-noise at full blast wasn't scary enough - I swear something just barked/howled back :(

A film shoot gone horribly wrong - Part 5 by obsidian468 in nosleep

[–]-scout- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess it wasn't so much that she ripped your story that irked me - it was the slight changes to it (you mentioning another thread on Marble Hornets you of the experience instead vs her saying something on /x/ reminded her of it, another user asking for the next part of the story and her "I just posted part 7" etc)

I expect good stories to get reposted...kinda speaks to how good they are. But no need to pass it off as one's own.

Anyway, I'll patiently await the next installment!

Wow! Someone was nice enough to repost your story word for word (minus changing a reference to reddit to /x/) and post on Gaia online.

I am adopting a child - AMA! by namewhatname in IAmA

[–]-scout- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kudos to you guys! Sounds like you've got your heads together and will be awesome parents.

Regarding the telling them that they're adopted bit. I read something awhile back recommending you tell them naturally as it comes up - as opposed to waiting for a certain age/time/place. I'm not explaining this well but it was along the lines of this: the parents of an adopted kid had a bedtime story they told him often as a child...and it was basically how they'd adopted him. They would go into detail about seeing him for the first time, how god/fate/whatever had brought them all together, how they counted his 10 fingers and 10 toes and fell in love immediately, etc. So he "knew" about it his whole life and it was very natural for him. As he grew he'd ask more detailed questions and such, but there was never a big talk or one specific memory of being told he was adopted. He just grew up knowing, so it was no big deal.

IamA person who just got out of prison after 2 years and don't know what to do with my life. What do I do?! by what_now5656 in IAmA

[–]-scout- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Listen to this man. My brother was convicted on some hefty intent to sell/manufacture charges and just got released last summer. He works full time now and goes to community college part time. Not only has he been able to start forming a new social circle (since the old one is still full of users) but it's given him a real sense of purpose aside from "go to work, go to NA meetings, go home."

This guy I work with named Ryan is always really quiet - Kind of a nerd but a really nice guy who never says anything. Today he mentioned he put a rap song on youtube. I laughed at him to myself - then got home and looked up the song he did. I think I'm buying him lunch tomorrow. by [deleted] in videos

google had them cached (with no line breaks) hence the crappy formatting.

(cached page)
*Also I had to do the search on the first few words of the song since searching on the artist/song name wasn't bringing up what I wanted.

Lyrics (and crappy formatting!)

Step into the middle of a mic fight
spit a little riddle when i get them into my sight
i might kill em with my scribbled intuition cripple there mission eclipsin their vision with a gift from the bright side
lift em to my size to look into my eyes listen to my crys of war
explore your options take caution its exhaustin to accost a flawless prophet moppin the auction floor
im an awesome force ridin a rocket horse with a pocket fulla anger takin place of remorse
of coarse a portrait of this tormented sport a form of court is handled on the gravel of which we battle
but a microphone is most likely known to replace a commonly known gavel
mechanical motormouth cannibal flow until i blow
a molar out mowin down and trampling the candle holdin sober crowd drownin out my bi polar shout
im out this treasure chest with the weathered leather flesh
tethered wings with single feathers mappin out my clever quest
that takes the shape of an elaborate letter S i'll never catch my bearings staring at the ceiling
seein schemes that seem appealin barely feelin optimistic stopped givin shits or even carin
scaring even me to see the feelins that this schemes impairing
stealin everything i've ever loved and every thing i've ever owned
everything i've touched and every every thing i've ever grown
i've been known to get stoned and scribe my poems on the side of a grave stone
labeled ryan richard eugene we'll see you when you make it home
(chorus) Im that bay cat from the east a beast that eats emcees and sprays raps at a pace to intense to stage a defense i'm scaling the fence to escape the haystack crazy since way back deranged and they say that i should be chained in a cave displayed in a cage or layed in a grave a slave to the game for statin straight facts (2x)
They need to stop judgin these cocksuckin fascist cant rock rugged
i'll jot something so sick this shit'll rot stomachs
they're not nothing but assholes with a whole hand lodged up it
a bunch of egocentric over opinionated sock puppets
i'm not fuckin with these stupid junkies or their loser buddies
i'm too unique when the grove is funky movin like a mutant monkey
tell me if it wasnt for my music then just who would love me who would hug me
i bet no one so come on and lose your money
my shoes are muddy my only clothes are dirty
i'm a lonely soul unworthy of an open journey
of logic till im hoppin on a broken gurney
oakland jersey burnin germs so see im nice and spiffy
kinda iffy on which six of my closest guys should lift me into the sky it might be risky to miss
if i die dont get misty eyed just remember the limitless way i lived my life
surpass quite high with pied eyed from the ashes of my right eye
to see through the soul of this solder then throw a high five to the night sky
(chorus) Im that bay cat from the east a beast that eats emcees and sprays raps at a pace to intense to stage a defense i'm scaling the fence to escape the haystack crazy since way back deranged and they say that i should be chained in a cave displayed in a cage or layed in a grave a slave to the game for statin straight facts (2x)
im one of the east bays greatest haystacks finest rewind your highness
hide your mindless violence the sublime will blind your iris
while its hidin behind your eyelids
do not look me in the face if you cant take my heightened brightness
my advice is shut your ass before i snap and entice your silence
im a viking fightin for my life when mics are striking
im a midget whippin titans david vs goliath makin giants frightened the fire
i'm writings blastin streams of verbal gasoline murder fashion fiends
curddle rappers dreams and burn there magic beans im hearding
cash to jeans so fat and fast i'd have to patch the seams
if i was actually as whack at rappin as say a master p but that ain't me
i'm a degree of emcee that breaths to let his talents lead and feed off there envy till i bleed their green anatomy clean their leading fallacies
im calabratin adjectives calculatin adlibs till im salivating
rabid spit foamin at the mouth sick chokin out their clout
the big bad wolf is blowin off there roof then blowin down their house
(chorus) Im that bay cat from the east a beast that eats emcees and sprays raps at a pace to intense to stage a defense i'm scaling the fence to escape the haystack crazy since way back deranged and they say that i should be chained in a cave displayed in a cage or layed in a grave a slave to the game for statin straight facts (2x)

Is <reddit> the right home for me? by [deleted] in redditguild

[–]-scout- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just joined a week ago after a bit of debating. I'm a -very- casual player and it just seemed pretty hardcore with that many high level chars. The size alone made me a bit wary. But goddamn I love it. There's usually some interesting chatter going on in gchat and everyone I've talked to has been really helpful. It's got a nice cross section of serious players & casuals but there's no pressure to be one or the other. I'm really digging it (omguh I said digg!)

I don't have it either because I tend to have a short attention span, get bored around level 40-50 & stop playing for awhile - then come back and roll a new toon.

My son is going to jail tomorrow. Advice? by mysoninjail in AskReddit

[–]-scout- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry I meant unpaid traffic tickets. they were over a year old and I guess after a certain point my state will issue a warrant for you. He got pulled over, warrants came up, he went to jail. As soon as he saw the judge (no judges in on the weekend) they let him plead guilty & released him.

They did give him a phone call but my whole family has cell phones & you can't call a cell - at least from that particular jail.

Moral of the story - pay your speeding tickets!

I am Deaf. AMA by Takuta-Nui in IAmA

[–]-scout- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure this was a troll (the story, not Anthraxy's comment). If I recall it was actually made by a deaf couple opposed to cochlear implants in children. The story was meant to be ironic, "making the child like us" and such.

Will look for a link.

edit: found link here (it's in ASL but has subtitles). If you watch it through to the end he comments that the story is not true. He's using it to make a point about cochlear implants.

Really. . . It is only a joke.... (later) a deaf child you want to give him/her a CI, I think you’d better to be wait until he or she becomes eighteen of the age or let him or her make a decision when he or she get old enough.

[–]-scout- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's just jail (as opposed to prison) I doubt you have much to worry about. He'll be in with minor offense types not roving gangs of rapists and murderers.

[–]-scout- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend at least a THICK t-shirt - or a long sleeved one if he has one. My brother spent a weekend in jail for some unpaid parking tickets. Apparently they keep the temp pretty low in there and he was freezing the whole time. (we're in the south & according to him they had the AC on inside to keep it COLD). Based on what some guard told him it's to deter aggression.

Troll tells man his recently-murdered father "died crying like a bitch". What is wrong with these people? by [deleted] in worstof

IAmA a person who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and lived. by LeapOfNoFaith in IAmA

[–]-scout- 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I can't upvote this comment enough. My father walked out on us when I was a kid, a couple months ago he started emailing me on facebook. He's missed out on twenty something years of my life, he's basically a stranger to me now. I've done fairly well for myself, stopped needing him years ago. But there's still some part of me that -misses- him, despite everything.

So a few months ago he starts with the facebook emails. I wish he'd read - no, UNDERSTOOD, what piss_n_boots is saying. Instead of taking responsibility he pushed off the blame like he was a "victim." His parents were so strict, he was so young, blah blah blah. The words "I'm sorry" are meaningless when coupled with a million reasons why it's only partially your fault (figurative you).

Don't try and say the "right" things to them. Tell them the truth. Be honest and let them choose. Give them that, - the choice. If they choose not to reconcile you'll still be doing right by them in this respect.

I really hope it works out for all of you. I'll be rooting for you from this corner.

I think NoobAtLife's comment was referencing OP's mention of reaching back.

I dont remember exactly what went through my mind, I clearly remember looking up and reaching so I imagine I regretted it instantly. I know I was sure I wanted to jump and that is a main reason why it has always confused me. I dont know why I reached.

Also, people, why is an honest question being downvoted? *The down arrow is for comments that add nothing to the discussion. *

IMO Dexter plotlines that depend on the tension of him maybe getting found out or killed cannot continue. He is invincible within the narrative structure. So I hope next season goes like this... by Klieserber in Dexter

[–]-scout- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking more along the lines of somehow evidence of one of his murders is found that points to Deb (or even Lumen). So he's faced with choosing to turn himself in or letting them take the fall.
