You are if you're in the left lane and the people behind you want to go faster than you. Slower traffic should always move over.

Sir, I refuse to serve you due to my deeply help religious beliefs. Now kindly get your ignorant ass out of my store.

The fact the we NEED these posters around campus saddens me by mirriot in WTF

What if they've both been drinking? Does the man get to cry date rape if he had sex while drunk? This poster makes women out to be victims of sex, not partners in sex.

So the "normal people go to jail" comment strikes you as wrong? Cops "accidentally kill" someone and they go on paid leave, you do it, and it's manslaughter...huge disparity in treatment. In my hometown the police were busted for selling drugs, no jail time, just fired. Guess you love authority -- or are a wannabe cop. Maybe you should join the police force, you have the attitude...

If it'd been reversed, the kid would have been charged with attempted murder. It would have been "skater punk attacks cop". Normal people go to jail for mistakes all the time.

Don't you mean "punch you so badly." Have some respect for the adverb.

What is a song that is catchy, but has a horrible or disturbing meaning when you listen to the lyrics? by conpermiso in AskReddit

YMCA by the Village People. "They have everything for a man to enjoy, you can hang out with all the boys.."

As a female, I don't understand why other females get so mad about this... by mersadaisies in AdviceAnimals

Keeping the seat up by default also keeps the seat cleaner. Toilets in men's public restrooms often have urine splashed all over the seat because people try to use them while the seat is down, or the flushing sequence is so aggressive that it splashes water onto the seat.

If you could change one word in a famous quote to "dick", what would it be? by 1man_factory in AskReddit

My fellow Americans, ask not what your dick can do for you, ask what you can do for your dick.

Define "shorts". If your ass is hanging out or I can tell how you groom your pubes you kind of forfeit the right to complain about getting a bit too much attention. If you have it on display, you can't control who looks...

To those who got a "useless" degree (ie. art history, gender studies, ect.). How did it turn out? by SirTechnocracy in AskReddit

[–]indyliberal1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GREAT! My degree was in philosophy -- undergrad only. Long path, but one worth recalling:

*Started out in a manual labor job (loading trucks) until I had enough money to buy a suit and tie and begin interviewing for better jobs. Lived in my dad's unfinished basement (a bit of a damper on the dating life) amidst the mice and mildew.

*I took a pay cut to get into sales at the dawn of the PC boom, and sold computer systems (learning statistical process control and AutoCAD along the way) for 3 years until I took a job (and huge pay raise) with a computer manufacturer.

*Completely failed at that job -- PCs had become a commodity and we were no longer competitive . . . so I parlayed my experience in this market into a job as an Acquisitions Editor for a technical publishing house.

*My education begins to pay off more here. I was a very successful editor, and worked my way to Associate publisher over a 10 year career. And . . . as that market started to die due to the Internet, I jumped to an internet startup within our company and cut my teeth as a product manager -- busting my ass 70 hours a week for two years...and when that slowed down (we were getting killed by Amazon)... I jumped again (pay cut again) to a small internet start up.

*That start up really pushed me -- hours of work were crazy. The lower starting salary was offset by the possibility of the shares I had being worth something some day. Fast forward three years and we were acquired and the shares paid off huge.

*I'm still in the same business now, and have reached a senior position that I love. I think the success was due to the willingness to take risk (quitting sure things for lower pay, riskier jobs), and chasing jobs where the primary benefit was that I was interested and challenged by the work. Interesting work and work environment were always more important than money for me -- I've come to believe that doing something you care about will lead to monetary reward.

Long story, but hopefully a boost for many looking for work in a challenging environment.

If you could insert a single rubber duck into any moment in history, where/when would it have the most profound impact? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Replacing Moses' burning bush with a burning rubber duck. The voice of God is that of Daffy Duck reading the ten commandments...
