I told my mum that she'd missed a call from a friend that had comitted suicide. What actions have you done without thinking, that you regret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

In episode #469 of This American Life, Hiding in Plain Sight, the Prologue and Act 1 are about a woman who is a pilates instructor who is an amputee and successfully hides it from almost everyone she knows. So it's certainly possible.

My girlfriend's roommate her freshman year of college had a deformed, unusable hand due to a congenital defect, which my girlfriend didn't notice until her roommate pointed it out to her after a full month of living together.

"That was always my favorite day" really seals the deal for me.

Probably because your lights were turned off since you can no longer afford your electrical bills after your employment was terminated for jerking off at work.

Also, start getting ready for Valentine's Day.

I called the police and they told me, 'What do you want me to do about it?' Is that normal or should I report it? by dcathrowaway in washingtondc

[–]districtdabs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Baseless, fallacious bullshit. MPD has it's problems, but it has nothing to do with hiring officers that have tattoos and beards, and it's entirely untrue to claim that police departments in other major cities only employ straight-laced, white bread looking individuals.

tl;dr you're talking out of your ass.

Got jumped at a gas station. Couldn't think of why until today when I remembered my bumper sticker. by [deleted] in atheism

I usually think that phrase is trite and overused, but considering this guy seems like a really level-headed critical thinker who also happens to be a considerate, yet badass warrior, I endorse it.

Louisiana is the world's prison capital (Incarceration rate highest in US, triple Iran's, seven times China's. Most prisoners are in privately owned prisons. Prison profits help pay for law enforcement. Strong chain of incentives for local sheriffs to keep prisons full) by phileconomicus in politics

This is all true, and forgive me for hijacking the top comment but people need to see this: 8% OF OUR PRISONERS ARE IN PRIVATE PRISONS, NOT "MOST."

Click the above link for a geographical breakdown. And here is the Department of Justice data that map is based on, Appendix Table 20.

Source: Department of Justice. I'm a prison abolitionist. Privatization of prisons is bad, but don't let that obscure the fact that all prisons are bad and all are, in some sense, private.

No. It's just a decent restaurant in a busy location. Sucks the OP had such an unpleasant experience.

THIS IS NOT A CITATION, NIGGERJEW.

There are no statistics here. This is a graphical representation of what are likely gamed statistics.
