Another from reddit:Redditor posted:So tonight, I decided it would be a good night for me to get high. I was home alone, and had all the wonders of drugs and internet porn at my hands. I decided to jerk off, and during that magical act I decided to try to suck my own dick. During the heated attempts to thrust my penis into my face, I got a bit too excited and tried to clamp my mouth down. I was off by an inch or two, and nibbled pretty sharply on my head. I immediately regretted it & stopped, and now I'm trying to sober up while cradling my dick in pain. (Sorry about my typing, I'm still pretty baked)

FrozenVent posted:It won't necessarily work in all fifty states, you're better off just calling 911. That being said, people have apparently attacked women by pretending to be cops and pulling them over. It will work in all 50 states, but not necessarily on all phone providers. 112 is the international emergency number, and a requirement of operating GSM service is that you provide 112 facility - so any US carrier that uses GSM *must* provide mapping to the local emergency service, whereas CDMA providers *may* provide it.

moerketid posted:18 is/isn't plus size in the UK. Almost all high street stores will have size 18 as the top or 2nd top size of the normal clothing line. So most people who are size 18 will never need to think about buying from a plus size section. At the same time, plus size sections tend to begin at 18. Still sounds distinctly like this person in the story is in the US, where a US 18 is definitely going to be plus. 'Fired on the spot' pretty much guarantees it's not in the UK (except that you could probably consider the language involved as "gross misconduct" in a retail setting, which is legally permitted to result in instant dismissal, but you'd still need to do it in writing with all the right legal paperwork and you'd probably say 'dismissed' rather than 'fired' as a result)

Yes, my first portable cd player was a toshiba 'bitstream' player that I bought in 1994, it had 30 seconds of buffering and ran at 2x (or 4x, idr) so that you could jog with it, and as long as it could read some data in between the bouncing, it was fine.

Han & Leia are standing in front of the doors to the shield generator after fending off stormtroopers, the AT-ST rocks up, and they figure they're busted so lower their weapons, the AT-ST fires... and hits the doors, blasting them open. At which point Chewbacca emerges from the AT-ST hatch and does his roar thing.

Rudager posted:I can understand a restaurant doing this, but every time I book a motel or seat on a plane, they take the money up front right there and then at the time of booking, that seems to pretty well lock both parties into it. People with more money than sense/cares often do this thing where they won't know exactly which day they plan to travel, so they book, and pay for, the same trip on several days, and just no-show on the days they don't actually need.

Something eerily similar to this happened at (one of) my local guitar shop when I was at college in the 80s, so I can believe it *could* happen (in the case of the place I'm thinking about, it was all documented by the local paper, from the mid-night break-in to the idiots trying to sell the guitars back to the shop, and the police being called to arrest them). Criminals are generally pretty dumb.

Drunk Tomato posted:Also any musician who leaves instruments in his car overnight is a huge idiot and deserves to have everything stolen from him, and his house burned down, and his dog shot If he's a performing musician it might be an insurance thing - if you're working then you need extra coverage on your car and house insurance for the instruments or they're not covered, if you're tight on cash only insuring the car means you can leave it there and it be insured. It kinda sucks if your home-owners insurance is perfect except for being a oval office about your instruments being 'tools' that have to be covered with a huge waiver.

It's right there in the text quote:(I’m a high school student working at a fast food restaurant in a very small town. One day, a girl from school comes in who is known to be a little more than friendly to guys. A fairly good looking older guy comes in after and she takes notice.) Also, he's the same guy that stands up for the cashier at the end: quote:Guy: *looks at the girl* “Okay, this is taking so long. Anyone with a grade school education knows that two quarters, two dimes, and a nickel is only 75 cents. Now, please, give her the money and get going. I’m in a hurry. And don’t throw it at her this time. She’s obviously way smarter than you and doesn’t need to take any crap from people like you.” Which is why she's embarassed to the point of never looking at the cashier again at school. e: ^^ it's a way that some people wrongly describe a kind of facepalm, like this:
