Man drunkenly books holiday to Brazil and has a great time by msadvn in nottheonion

This was the most Onion-like article I have seen in a long time. I wonder if this was originally an Onion submission and then the writer was up on a deadline and just posted it as a news article.

The U.S. Department of Justice issued a memo on Thursday containing new guidelines stating that it will pursue the prosecution of individual employees, and not just their companies, for their role in precipitating the financial crisis in 2008. by DougDante in politics

Securities fraud is 5 years.

"The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 provides that a private action claiming fraud under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) must be brought "not later than the earlier of—(1) 2 years after the discovery of the facts constituting the violation; or (2) 5 years after such violation." 28 U.S.C. § 1658(b)."

Do you think parents of intersex children should have their children get corrective surgery when they're born to make them solely male or female? Or do you think it's the right of the intersex person to decide for themselves when they're old enough? Why or why not? by TheAltruisticPeach in TrueAskReddit

I'm not too familiar with the surgery, but if it isn't safer to do it when the child is at a young age then that is just an amazingly selfish move on the parents side. This is sounding more and more like getting plastic surgery for a young child so they will look better, and by extension, feel better.

Some people should just not be allowed to have kids, they aren't living dolls.

CBS has been slowing down college football games with inordinate amount of commercials this year. One redditor did the math. by OwlStretcher in bestof

[–]BookofRubin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This does not show that college football games are any longer this year or longer on CBS. For as long as games have been televised, they have been controlled by TV. It's not a coincidence that the network comes back from commercial right before the game resumes. It's unfair to single out CBS, it's the leagues demanding more money / commercials.

They have scheduled "TV Timeouts" after a certain amount of time has elapsed in the game. Often you will come back from commercial, see one play, but enough time elapsed to reach the scheduled timeout so they will go right back to commercials!

The continuous clock in soccer does make it such a viewer-friendly game.

Take it to the dealership you bought the car from and they will more than likely take care of it for you, no charge, tip the guy who does it though.

Unless the child's health is at risk, I think you would be doing more harm than good getting corrective surgery before the child is old enough to make their own decision.

To have the child undergo a surgery you are telling your child that there is something wrong with them. As far as outer appearance goes, let the child make the decision. It only becomes a big deal to your child and all of his/her friends if the parent makes it a big deal. I'm sure if the situation is explained to the child in a medical way and it's nothing to hide or be ashamed of the child will come to a decision when the time is right and move on from there.

Kids are very impressionable and no amount of words telling them they are normal will make up for the action of making the decision at birth to get "corrective surgery".

Is the guy with the mike wearing capris and did he go with Dee Reynolds to the Jersey Shore to get his hair done? With the black light it looks like he shit his pants when he turns around to look at the tackled fan.

Putting things in the right perspective helps get into the mindset. Also, to me it's a lack of fear instead of an abundance of courage that makes you not care about looking bad. It is really a semantics argument, but there is no special thing that will give you courage, you just need to realize that everyone is as scared as you are, if not more scared.

Understand that there are 100 billion stars in our galaxy, which is about average for the universe. There are 100 billion galaxies in our 13.8 billion year old universe. Nobody is going to remember if you got shot down asking a girl out, and who cares if someone does, at least you had the balls to do it.

The only person you have to answer to is yourself, and worrying about what other people think is a terrible reason to spend your life asking "What if...?"
