Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Reddit, give my brother some advice for this police encounter! POST: My brother has run into some minor trouble with the law, and I was hoping that Reddit might be able to give him some advice. I asked him to write up a brief synopsis of what happened:**** ----- I was pulled over for driving with my left taillight out. There were three passengers in my car, for a total of four people. There was no weed in the car, no one was high, and no one had smoked in the car since around 4 that afternoon. There was, however, a pipe and a grinder out of sight in the middle console of my car. The officer approached my car, and we had the following conversation. OFFICER: I pulled you over because you were driving with a taillight out. MATT: I'm sorry, officer. I know it's out, I'm working on getting it fixed as quickly as possible. OFFICER: Is there anything in the car that I should know about? MATT: No, officer. OFFICER: Would you mind if I searched, then? MATT: I'm sorry, officer, but I never consent to searches. OFFICER: Why? MATT: It's within my rights as a citizen. At this point, the officer says nothing else and walks away. One of my friends overhears him calling in a canine unit. However, he never informed any us that he would do so. He wrote me a citation for the taillight, and I signed/dated the bottom of it. However, he did not give it to me until after the canine unit arrived. The officer then instructed me and each of my passengers to leave the car, then proceeded to search each of us "for weapons" (even though I said that I refused to consent to a search) before the drug dog began to sniff my car. After he told me that the dog alerted on my car, I told him where the pipe and grinder were. He then confiscated them, searched the rest of my car, wrote a citation for the pipe and grinder, then gave me the citation for the taillight. TL;DR: . Assistant:
pulled over for tail light out, did not consent to search, drug dogs called anyway, given paraphernalia charge in TN for grinder and pipe

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Reddit, thinking about portraying PFC Bradley Manning for Halloween, good idea or bad idea? POST: For Halloween this year, I am considering going as Private First Class Bradley Manning (if you don't know who he is, Google the name). It's certainly not your typical Halloween costume by any means, but I usually don't do the typical thing. I want to represent Bradley in good taste while offering information to my friends and co-workers about the history of what lead up to the charges against him, the current state of the trial, info about Wikileaks and what we have learned from the various leaks, Julian Assange and the allegations against him, etc. I only intend on dressing up at work and at home on Halloween so as to not be viewed as impersonating a soldier or breaking the uniform law in any way. I'm not going to force my opinion onto anyone, just offer only the facts if asked. There has been some controversial costumes worn in the past, so I don't have any reason to believe that it would be taken the wrong way, but I also don't want to tread on taboo or anything that might offend or upset anyone at my work place. TL;DR: . Assistant:
So Reddit, am I off my rocker in wanting to be Bradley Manning for Halloween or shall I go for it?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [20 M] with my LDR GF[19 F] - Jealous Feelings Are Stirrin' POST: I am currently in a Long Distance Relationship with my girlfriend. We're both in the US going to college on opposite sides of the country. We were high school sweethearts and have made it through almost 2 full years of college. We have a very loving relationship and I'm very happy to be in a relationship with her. My girlfriend (let's call her Sue) is in a sorority and is very active in it. She recently went to a dance they call Formal, and had a blast. It's custom to take a date to these things, and since I wasn't there she took someone whose friends were going but otherwise wasn't technically allowed into the dance. I didn't have a problem with it because I figured they would just hang out with their separate friend groups once in the dance. Sue told me that's exactly what happened and how she even got stood up by the guy - he kind of just showed up with his friends at the dance instead of meeting up beforehand. I was glad she had a good time despite that. I just checked Facebook and Sue has a new profile picture. It's her and the guy from last night. She is laughing and having a good time, with her hands on his back, and he's doing a somewhat funny face. It's a cute picture, but for some reason her having another guy in her Facebook profile picture makes me uncomfortable. I scrolled through some of her other pictures and this guy turns up on more than one occasion, even before the dance. I want to ask her if it's the same guy, but she is currently in a dance *performance* (not the same as the Formal she went to last night) so she is unreachable. Normally I'm not very jealous at all, but seeing that picture just made me sad and feel like I was being replaced for some reason. My question is, is there any reason for me to be jealous? If not, please talk some sense into me! We've also been getting in a bunch of small arguments lately so I'd rather handle this in the easiest, most un-confrontational manner. I don't want to fight over this if it's nothing. TL;DR: . Assistant:
My LDR GF set her profile picture as her with another guy. I'm getting jealous feelings, how should I handle it?

POST: I'll keep this short as possible, anyways, I went to a restaurant tonight with my brother and when we got inside I saw my ex sitting at a table, to try and make it as less awkward as possible, I asked to be seated on there other side, so I wouldn't have to be "around" her. I order my food and step outside for a cigarette and as soon as I do that, she comes outside to talk to me. We chat for a little and she explains that she didn't want things to be weird and that she thought the reason o switched tables was because she assumed I hated her, which isn't true. So we talk for a little and she then tells me That's she is moving soon because mom got a new job. She then says that she would like to hang out one last time before she leaves. I am uneasy about this, so my question is, should I do it or not? TL;DR: . Assistant:

First post, I had contemplated posting my journey prior to this but I got caught up with other things and didn't see at as entirely necessary but now that I made my previous milestone I am looking for advice/help/suggestions for the future. I started Jan 1st at a weight of 286 lbs and being in the Military I had to get my act together...or else! I shook my head at myself in the mirror and got to it. I started small and slow, running short distances at slow speed, rode the bike and eliptical for lower impact exercise. I'm now up to a consistent mid-8 mile split when I do my daily three mile and that feels good. Long story short, lost 32 lbs by the time I had my Physical Fitness weigh in and cut a considerable amount from the mid section. Wearing a belt I hadn't been able to fit since Senior yr in college, granted it's on the last hole... but the one I had been wearing is on the opposite end of the spectrum so I'll take a win where I can get one. 286 to 254 in roughly 3 1/2 months. Lost roughly 4- 4 1/2 on the waist. My issue now. Since that milestone I've sort of lost my willpower. I haven't stopped running altogether but nowhere near what I was doing prior to the weigh in. Put on about 4-6 lbs but it's holding steady... which is great considering the amount of crap has made it's weight into my diet again. My next goal is to lose around another 25-30 prior to early August for my friends wedding and ultimately I'd like to finish the yr at around 225-230 and about 15%. I'm around 260 and about 21% right now and would like help getting motivated again as well as healthy ways to lean out and lose weight the correct way. Thanks for reading. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Lost 32 LBS since New Yrs. Previous goal met need healthy ways to motivate and lose to make the next set.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/AskReddit TITLE: Is it right for a coach to pull someone out of a championship? POST: Hi folks! So here's the situation: My brother was going to participate in a championship meet in his high school for a 4-man relay team, but had the coach replace him for someone else. Now the thing is, the other kid was late an hour from when he was supposed to meet the team. My brother inquired about why he got pulled from the race, and the coach said it's because the other kid has a faster time. Now does that really send the right message for a team? "I can show up anytime I want because I have a faster time then all of you."? Shouldn't discipline and team respect be precedented over time? My brother is really upset about this and I wanna know Reddit's opinion on this. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Brother got pulled out of a championship just because the other kid who was faster showed up--though was late. Is that right or fucked up?

After the first year and half we were constantly arguing and we broke up and got back 3 times. This is the fourth time. We have many experiences together and many memories that are just hard to let go. I miss her so much i really want us to get back but I don't know if i should go for it or not. I know that I'm still young. But I've never felt this way towards someone. Because i miss her so much we ended up talking one day. The conversation was going fine then we started talking about us. She said the only reason she broke up is because of the constant arguments and we never seem to stop arguing, she said that she is happy because there are no more arguments but she said that she misses being with me. I feel that way too. I really want her back but i just don't know what to do. Should I go with the no contact rule? I'm afraid she will move on really quickly. Also i forgot to add that the arguments are both because of my insecurities and jealousy and her anger and not wanting to lose an argument. I just really miss her. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Miss my girlfriend after a break up. We have broken up and gotten back several times, but i dont know if i should try to get her back.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationship_advice TITLE: [22/m] Thinking of breaking up with [22/f] of 2 years, has all her belongings at mine. Need advice POST: Hello sub. Throwaway for obvious reasons. This has been a long time coming and maybe I've been delaying it for a while now, but I'm feeling like this relationship isn't going to work out. I still do care deeply for her, but now I don't believe we are right for each other. She's an absolutely great person but we have our differences, not just what we like but our morals, values and culture. We've had talks about this before and I always believed if we tried to accommodate to each others likings we would be fine. But I'm now worn out, I'm frankly tired of trying to like the things that she likes and loosing time and money for things that I would want to do (She's not really keen in my interests though she has tried). She's been away for holidays for a while now and has left all her belongings at mine as I agreed to help her move out to a new place when she got back. She would be staying at mine until then (few weeks) This was before I felt like we needed to break up. I too went overseas for holidays for a while and I had time to think for myself. I need your thoughts on what to do sub. I did promise I'd help her move out and don't really want to break up while she doesn't have a place to stay. There's also a few celebrations coming up that I don't think I would be able to celebrate with her, I feel horrible..but I'm thinking of telling her today after work. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Relationship not working out, gf left belongings at mine while overseas and I promised I would help her move. Don't feel like breaking up while she doesn't have anywhere to stay.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by having a bonfire on cement POST: My boyfriend and my dog and I were having a bonfire in the backyard. There's a nice cemented area with a firepit in the middle of it and benches around it. Now, this fire pit has gotten a ton of use, and it's gotten to the point where the bottom of it has melted through. We decided for this bonfire, we'd just move the fire pit out of the way and have the fire on the cement with metal from the fire pit surrounding the perimeter. Well we get about two hours into our bonfire, and my boyfriend is standing about a foot away from the fire with his back turned towards it, and I got up to refill our dog's water bowl. As I'm walking away I hear a full explosion. I turn and I see the entire cemented area and benches surrounded by fire and embers. I then see my boyfriend run out of the fire with embers all over the back of his shirt, and I see my dog running away from where he was sitting under the benches. My boyfriend stops drops and rolls in the grass and I'm chasing after my dog trying to make sure he's okay and to keep him away from the area because the entire cemented area and benches has flaming logs all over it. For a few moments I was convinced we would be spending the night in the hospital, but we got really really lucky and everyone was fine. We were extremely lucky that my dog was under one of the benches and protected from falling flaming debris, and also that my boyfriend had his back to the fire and escaped with only a ruined shirt and pants. So what happened? After a some panicking and some puppy wrangling, we were able to assess the situation. In case you weren't aware, cement expands when overheated. Basically the cement over expanded, shattered, shot up, and caused the entire bonfire to shoot up as well. We feel pretty stupid about what we let happen. TL;DR: . Assistant:
The moral of the story is that cement explodes when overheated. Don't have a bonfire on it. Also make sure your fire extinguishers work.

This starts with me getting a code for the beta from a mac user so a friend can have a game that we can play (long story with that so wont go into details here may do in comments) so after giving the code I try to open the xbox app in hopes of finding my friends xbox id (so we can do multiplayer) fastforward slightly, this is after me trying to force the xbox app to log out and log in again, im in a remote service session with microsoft support, they try everything from refreshing the windows store to reinstalling the xbox app nothing works so then they go to start a windows re-imaging process (basically reinstalling the os) before they get chance to do anything they get disconnected, I wait about 10-20 mins letting my net settle because wi-fi for me can be funny, nothing. I end up having to make sure they cant re-connect because I have to go to a friends to do some minecraft recording (modded minecraft not windows 10 edition). Yesterday I reinstalled windows 10 from the image I made myself a few days prior, thinking that it would be the pro edition i thought nothing of it, did a few things around the house while it was installing and updating got back and realised it was the home edition, at first i thought nothing of it tried to do some modded minecraft and it ran at what felt like negative frames per second. thought something was up and found out that home couldn't give enough ram for what i was needing so i ended up reinstalling windows 7 ultimate to get it to windows 10 pro (via free upgrade thing) but that produced problems because i didnt have a product key that would work (i used to run windows loader to get the keys to work and used it to install windows 7 on friends and families machines) thankfully I found a windows 10 disc that has pro on and ended up using that. TL;DR: . Assistant:

How to respond? POST: So I recently moved to a new city with my best friend. I've been crashing on his couch for a while (2 months?) now. We're both currently looking for work (he doesn't have to pay rent since his grandparents bought him the place). Anyways, I moved to the city beforehand with the explicit intent to live with him and told him that I wouldn't move to the city unless we were going to live together and we we were able to find a space to live together (this was way before I moved). Lo' and behold a few months later and I find him not wanting to live together. He's nice enough to let me stay with him and says I can stay as long as I want, but he no longer wants to live together. It's kind of frustrating for me because I'm not as wealthy as he is, and I don't have a place to go (additionally, I don't have a relationship with my family so I can't go back to them or anything). Basically I've got not fall backs. I'm kind of upset with my friend in this regard. Part of it is obviously my fault. I guess I shouldn't have been so trusting and formed a fallback, but I am a little upset that he's changed his mind. Am I in the right in that regard? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Backstory: Bekkah and I have been friends for 3 years and she was the nanny to my daughter for over a year. She is very religious and because of this she is in a huge rush to get married (a different issue all together) and is having a wedding with little to no money. She is having children at the ceremony but not at the reception and although my daughter was invited to the ceremony I declined and said that she would probably cause a commotion and I thought it would be best if she stayed at home. Although I did offer to dress my daughter up and for Bekkah and I to do photos before or after the ceremony which Bekkah was more than happy with. The issue I am having is that even though it hasn't been officially said I don't think she is giving me a plus one. I do not know ANY of her friends and family or her fiance's so I will be all by myself during the ceremony and the reception. Even if I had chosen to bring my daughter to the ceremony, I would still be alone at the reception, where the socializing happens, as children are not allowed. The invites haven't been sent out but she did mention that "there would be a few tables of random friends" when I expressed that I wouldn't know anyone there. That hurt. Because of this I am assuming there will be no plus one. I understand that they are tight on money but honestly I am not sure if I even want to go to a 4 hour long reception and eat dinner so I can socialize with a bunch of strangers and get a total of 5 seconds to see my friend. We are close and I want to support her on her special day but it feels sort of tacky to ask to bring a plus one but then again I feel it is sort of tacky to not include one in my invite. Maybe I am wrong. TL;DR: . Assistant:
My friend is getting married and it looks like I won't be receiving a plus one. I don't know anyone else who will be attending.

POST: My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years. I have had minor crushes in the past and I have told him about them, and he was okay with it. A few months ago I developed a crush on a guy in my classes. I looked him up on Facebook and saw that he liked one of my favorite bands. I have one of their band t-shirts and I like to wear it out in public because I love when someone makes a positive comment about it. I was excited when I saw that he liked the band and decided to wear it to class. I wanted to talk to him about the band because I was excited to meet someone who likes it, but I guess a part of me also wanted him to be impressed/attracted to me. I would NEVER do anything remotely romantic or sexual with him, though. He didn't notice, so I wore the shirt again a few weeks later. He noticed that time and complimented me on the shirt, and I immediately felt extremely guilty and basically cut off the conversation after saying "it's one of my favorite bands." I feel like I cheated in some way and I've been beating myself up over it for weeks. Should I tell my boyfriend about this, or do you think it's too minor of a situation/it would do more harm than good? TL;DR: . Assistant:

We share one class together, sit next to each other and often have conversations. We don't really see each other outside of class, walking in the halls and all that, but when I walk into class and sit down, she will ask me how I am and I will return the question.

POST: Let me keep this succinct and sweet. Perhaps best with bullet points - me and said friend work in the same lab (both graduate students doing short-term projects, I'm affiliated with the university, he's a visiting student) - became interested in him because, as per his body language, he seemed interested in me (and he is pretty much my type physically speaking) - didn't realize he was gay until I finally struck up a conversation with him (he appears very hetero in terms of almost everything) and he made it abundantly clear (didn't make it abundantly clear because I expressed interest but just in context of our conversations) - got to know him A LOT better (spending more time together than before) and realized he's even my type, personality-wise - he seems to like me a lot back but only as a friend - he leaves for Germany at the end of this coming week - I want to tell him how I really feel but I'm afraid this will not only spoil our friendship, but he'll think I've only been hanging out with him because of my feelings for him (and ergo, spoil friendship) TL;DR: .

How can I stay close to her AND her new boyfriend, without feeling bad? POST: Classic situation, friends for a LONG time (for 13 years, we are both 18). Boy goes to senior prom with girl, asks girl out, rejected, dejected, good night. Only the next day do I realize how seriously bad I feel. She has 2 proms. Mine which was yesterday and her other friend's (let's call him Pat). I sweet talk her, I mean seriously. I tell her how much she means to me, how I feel, and how I want the whole "more than friends shebang." Cheesy, you betcha. She stepped back from us slow dancing as I said this and from her face I could just tell it was going to be a "let him down easy" moment. We are now just as good friends as before but I now know she is crazy about Pat. THE TWIST: I'm part of a group of friends who is seeing her off next week for their prom. I shouldn't be so selfish. She is my friend and I value that so much and she is happy with this guy who is actually nice. I feel like such shit though. I know I should just move on; she just does not see me as anything more than a good friend. But I can't do it. I'm such a hopeless romantic, really. I do not want to "give up" on a relationship. I'm crazy about her guys. How can I hang around with her and Pat to stay close to her, but not feel like crap everytime I do? Any other advice is also greatly appreciated. Thank you. TL;DR: .

About a 4 weeks ago she told me that she wants to meet with her ex [who left her for HIS [reboud ex] as friends, and that she did not see him for four years. I should have said no right then, but I didnt want to seem like a controlling person. Now she broke up with me. Basically on last Saturday she told me she doesnt love me, but she wants to keep trying for a few months. Naturally I agreed, as I still very much love her. Now on Friday she said she wants to quit. Now it is Saturday [week since she told me she doesnt love me] and I came home to find her and the deucheshigfuckingcockbag in her room. Now the worst part is, that I still live here. I have a bedroom where all my stuff [computer] is and I live in this cave. Why dont I leave you ask? Well moving out is not a easy process, esecially before a payday [monthly here]and she owns me money. She ows me a large sum of money, to which we had agreed that will be payed by rent [I will live here, I will not pay rent until the debt is settled]. As working night shifts only, I do not know how to exist during the night, especially now that I hear them moving over the apartment. It is the worst I have ever felt in my life.

And I had to leave my beautiful 5 year old chocolate lab behind in my hometown with some family. It's killing me to be away from her. We currently live in the basement of someone else's house, and they aren't fussy about having another dog around. We planned on moving out of the house this summer and getting our own apartment.. The thing is, animal friendly apartments are hard to come by around here, and me and my boyfriend both work 7 on 7 off and wouldn't get to see her for a week at a time. Even before I left she was always inside moping, I felt so guilty. I know she's happy where she is now, always going hunting and playing with other dogs, but due to past experiences (being forced to part with animals I loved, promising to take care of a rescue and being unable to do so) I feel obligated to take her with me.

If you were me, what would you do? POST: Basically, I've had to get an AVO (Apprehended Violence Order) against my downstairs neighbour. We live in a really old building with little to no insulation, so noise travels *really* easily. But he takes offense to the smallest things at really random times (11am, Sunday morning, being on the phone with my Dad and wandering around the apartment was cause for a 7 minute tirade in the stairwell about how I'm a dumb white cunt who's always walking around. I don't know if he expects me to teleport or hover between rooms, but unfortunately, I can't do either. He's threatened me a couple of times (raised fist, prevented me from exiting the building, tried to kick down my apartment door the other day) the last time he did it, I'd been watching TV with a few friends (normal volume) - no-one else has ever witnessed these events before and they encouraged me to call the police. Police suggested I get an AVO, and so I did. Next day, I call the real estate and say basically, okay, look. I need to leave or this guy does, because I am terrified of him, and this seems to be escalating. They decide to evict him (he's being served papers today) but with 90 days notice, I'm basically going to have to live with an enraged junkie for three months. So, I'm not sure what I can do to either protect myself, should I just move out and bear the cost of breaking lease five months early..

POST: So our subdivision is consisted of a bunch of racist assholes....It's a pretty well off upper-middle class area. My "situation" begins from the community facilities area (where the pool, basketball, tennis courts are). They implemented a really retarded security gate feature, that requires an electronic keycard. Now the entering process with the card is really annoying to me as the gate never opens, and it just beeps.. So I just jump over it...There's 2 gates, one gate for sidewalk opening and another for cars to pass through....It has security cameras (god forbid someone trespasses to play tennis or what have you)...So apparently they caught "me" and "a companion" opening the car part of the gate on camera.. Pictures were taken and distributed to all residents, but *someone* out of honesty replied saying it was "us." Now the board of directory is claiming that the gate was tampered with and all this exaggerated bullshit, even though many people pass through the same way, but we have no proof...they are denying access and claiming to bill "us" of damages....Judging by videos/pictures they can't necessarily "convict" it to be us... because "I" haven't confessed to be any part of it... Now bear in mind there has been many robberies in our neighborhood, I've been robbed for at least a grand of things in my garage including mail...yet they chose to add security to an unnecessary area.. Now what can I do in my defense? They are not buying that we didn't do anything in terms of damage, it's pretty evident that nothing was necessarily damaged, just the gate was yanked open....It is a huge metal gate that's magnet retracted....So in my defense what can I say/do?

One of these cards charges me about $100 per month in finance charges as it has $6,000 on it. I have 4 other cards that have 4,000 combined. One has 1,500, one has 1,000, one has 1,100 and the last one has 400. Anyways, I'm tired of the finance charge from the biggest card and have applied for a personal loan to consolidate my debt. I was denied for my $10,000 loan and offered a $5,000 loan as they could only offer a loan for what I currently make per month. I talked to my parents and they are willing to SIGN for the loan and I'll be a co-borrower so their credit will get me the full loan. Their credit score is around 750. Before they go into the bank, I just wanted to make sure I'm doing the right thing. I'll pay about $300 per month for 36 months for this loan. I plan on paying it off much faster but can't afford to do an 18 month loan where I get stuck with $600 per month at the minimum. Any tips for this? Is this a good idea? TL;DR: . Assistant:

I met him at work and we got close pretty fast. I would never leave someone over the fact that they have cancer. However, he does not talk to me very often. Sometimes, we go days without texting. Sometimes, we go weeks without seeing each other. He says he's always busy with friends or family, and it makes me feel like he doesn't want to see me. It makes me really sad to know that he has such a limited time, but he doesn't seem to want to spend it with me. That might be selfish, and I hate myself for being upset by this. I will always be there to support him, but I guess what I'm asking is if we'd make better friends? TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: A little background, I've been to a few therapists before and none have really helped. I decided I go to another and just try it again. My dad just picked one out and she happened to be a really hot, young woman. And I am only 17, but I have a full grown beard, I workout and I'm big, and everyone I know says I don't look my age. Anyway I've been seeing her once a week for the last 4-5 weeks now, one time twice a week. Every time I'm there she'll mention something sexual, ask me how old I am with a cute smile (even though I've told her several times), and shit like that. I don't really look her in the eye much, but when I do she's either checking me out (usually staring at my arms, chest, or my dick), or she'll put on a cute smile if I look at here eyes. I saw her today and she did the same thing. But today she got up several times to hand me things, and every time she'd bend over in front of me. She also told me to try out this breathing exercise and she grabbed her chest and said, "breathe in and out like this" and smiled at me. Before I left she did say, "don't just come here to see me! I want you to get better. I want you to trust me and talk to me so you feel like you're getting the best out of this! Ok?" and smiled like she usually does again. Which is funny she mentioned that because I haven't been feeling like she's been helping, but I don't have really anyone else to talk to and it's nice going there. As I was leaving, she has one of those big ass tube tv's in the lobby, and I noticed her looking at my ass and she motioned to her coworker to look over. Honestly I don't know if she's just toying and leading me on so I keep coming back, or she's just naturally flirty like that and she really means what she says. TL;DR: . Assistant:

There was one point where we were talking and he seemed into me, but he mentioned that he was looking for friends since he's new in town. He asked for my number to see if I wanted to meet up later to go out. I gave him my number thinking "yea, sure! why not" Ended up not meeting up, but I got a text this morning asking to get together before I leave town. Now in retrospect, I realize how giving my number to him may have sent the wrong message...and in all honesty, I have no idea how to respond, especially since how he wasn't very nice at first. I'm always down to getting to know new people, but my friends already were talking about how much of a dick he is. And I agree -but there are a lot of sides to one person, so maybe it was a wrong first impression. But I don't want to meet up and be berated with insults for an hour. Although he was a dick, I understand the vulnerability and courage it takes to put yourself out there...so I don't want to be rude. I was rejected fairly recently, so I understand how it can suck...

She smokes pot A LOT. She has told me she has a prescription for it; though we do live in an area where smoking pot is illegal. Her living room is immediately below my bathroom/bedroom. The building is old and has poor insulation which therefore means every time she smokes it fills my bathroom (and bedroom) with the smell of pot. When I first moved in I enquires with all the owners at a meeting (very small building and it's not professional managed) and each one claimed they don't smoke pot. I knew someone was lying as it cannot be smelled while outside, only inside my unit. One day I approached my neighbours door for something unrelated and was hit with the smell of pot as soon as I approached. She's since confirmed that she smokes pot but refuses to stop or smoke it outside. Beside the fact that I've never done pot and find the smell disgusting, I'm intending to apply for my city's police department. They have a very strict policy regarding drugs (for example, cutting out family members who do drugs, asking someone who rents to move, etc). I am very concerned that by ignoring this problem and smelling pot all the time I will be affecting my chances of being hired. I do not want to involve police if possible. It's a small building and this would cause a lot of animosity. I am looking for advice on how to escalate this and hopefully come to a resolution. I have already brought it up but she will claim she's not smoking and has no idea why I'm smelling pot. I'm not sure what my next steps should be (formal complaint, written complaint, etc) Any advice in how to approach this and (hopefully) maintain an amicable relationship would be appreciated!

When I was in third grade, I ended up in the class of one of the coolest teachers I'd had yet. She was funny and witty, she was down to earth, and I didn't hate going to school. Things were great...but it didn't last. There were no warning signs leading up to what happened, it just kind of happened. One day in class, an average day like any other, our teacher engaged another student in conversation during a lesson. My memory is foggy about what led up to the incident, but what happened is burned clearly into my memory. As far as I can remember, she said or asked him something in a joking/sarcastic tone. He stood up and said, "No." And that's when she slapped him across the face. I couldn't believe it. I did what I thought any rational kid would do: I went home and told my mom. And because I was lucky enough to have an involved and caring mom, she took it straight to the principal. Again, it's foggy, but I remember being harrassed by all the other kids who were there that day. I was called a liar by almost everybody. Nobody admitted the truth about what happened, not even the kid who got slapped. He said she patted him on the head. It blew my mind that he would cover for her. But even now, even despite the foggy recollection of everything else that happened before and after, I know the truth. That's when I learned that sheep have the tendency to follow one another, even when they're not headed in the right direction. I was the stray from the herd, and I became the outcast.

I don't know the exact reasons why but then again I don't need to. She moved across the country right after she ended it, this was approximately four months ago. This past weekend she was back in town visiting and I consider her to be a good friend so I made sure to spend some time with her while she was here. She was very excited when I saw her because she had gotten engaged the night before to her new boyfriend (33m). Since it had happened so recently I was one of the first people she told and not many people know about it yet still. So my question is, should I tell my friend about her new engagement? He's still pretty upset about the break up, I feel like I should say something to him because I don't want him to get blind sided by a shitty status update or something insincere like that but at the same time I feel like it's really not my place to say anything since it's between them and I have nothing to do with it.

POST: We broke up a little less than two weeks ago. Although the breakup was amicable, it was one sided and I was hurt at the time. I deleted him and all pics of us together. I wasn't thinking, I was just being rash. That was far from what I wanted to do. I don't want to send the message that I wanted to cut him out of my life. Well, he noticed it and bought it up during our last interaction. I explained to him why and said I regretted it immediately after and he simply said to add him back on when I'm ready. Yesterday, I learned that he is upset/bitter about it. And he has been avoiding me. We have a mutual group of friends and they've been taking turn hanging out with each of us individually. I'm thinking it's due to me deleting him (?) or still torn about the breakup. I'm fine, I have no resentment or anger over the breakup. I care for him and I know he made the best choice for him. And I'm happy that he was honest with me rather than dragging me along. My question is, is it okay for me to add him back on so recently after the breakup? TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: [M/29] Does the traditional no sex/no cohabitation/no foreplay rules [F/28] till marriage actually lead to a stronger marriage? POST: My girlfriend 28 has grown up with a very strong set of beliefs that there should be no sex/foreplay/cohabitation till marriage, subsequently she has never had a solid relationship, has never had sex or fallen in love. To put things in perspective, she had recently achieved (her first) orgasm one night I had helped her though her cloths. So here we are dating... going out to dinner a few times a week, making out on the couch like teenagers. If I press her too far sexually, she then regresses back and that is not done for a few weeks. Meanwhile I am thinking, that I will never be close enough to marry her if we are not progressing the relationship (foreplay, spending the night, maybe even moving in with each other at some point). ------------------------------------------------------ When I asked her values she states the following. : "I dont want to be test ridden like a car". "If I am going to act like the wife, why not become the wife". "Its harder to just walk away when you are married". "I would feel less of my self if I was living with someone who did not marry me". "Marriage is great for taxes". "I need to be engaged before we do anything more than we are currently doing". "I know you want to buy a house, but I wont move in unless we are married (once we are married I want us to buy a joint house together so were both on the title and the partner could never say "this is MY house". "We could sign a prenump if you want". -------------------------------------------------------- Like this is some formula for a relationship, minus the love that would somehow fall into a good relationship. I dont see any of this shit above.. I want basic love, love that would flourish into a normal sexual life, and progress into a strong relationship, then marriage. I currently feel none of this and here is she talking about heavy, outdated formal dating. Dont get me wrong I like this girl, but every time she talks about this I drift further apart. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Current (relationship novice) girlfriend is making me jump through all the traditional dating to marriage hoops like its some sort of magic formula for a successful marriage, I am not feeling any of this and see it as a receipt for disaster.

We broke up in October after I left for college and he stayed home. Since then there hasn't really been a clean break (still have flirted and hooked up when i'm home) but he has told me several times, "I've changed, I want to be single and do my own thing. I still care about you and there's still a special bond, just not romantic" It hurts every time. But I don't really want a relationship either. I just don't want to let go of the past, so I'm afraid of really breaking things off (no contact style) and not seeing him over the summer (even though he would still live in a different town, just closer) I just don't know if it's worth the stress or if it's what I really want. It kinda makes me sick to realize how much I think about it. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: Obligatory: this happened just now and I'm still wallowing in shame, but not badly enough to wait until it wears off to write a post I keep a bunch of dinosaur toys on my desk at work. There's a triceratops and a stegosaurus. I expect every intelligent person to know the difference between the two but, just in case you don't [here's a handy explanation] Right. So my desk-mate pointed to the triceratops this morning and asked if it was a stegosaurus. Rather than smacking him for not being a paleontologist, I gave a super dank explanation: "No," said I. "It's a tricerotops. Cuz it's got tri, three, ceras on its tops!". So witty. So cool. That's why I'm the king of the workplace. Meanwhile, another coworker walked by. He said, "hey, that's what my Dad used to say when he was describing tricerotops." Now, a social adept person would have heard the phrase "what my Dad used to say" and figured there might be more to the story. Not me. "Hey!" said I. "That's awesome. Your Dad is awesome. Let's invite him to the office! Why has he never been here before? Can't wait to meet your dad!! He rocks." My coworker just stared at me sadly and walked away. Turns out his Dad is dead, and the triceratops thing was a fond childhood memory, not an invitation to remind him of his loss. Oops. TL;DR: . Assistant:

My friends are kind, caring individuals, who show the same interests as me but often before I go to hang out with them I feel this dread that I'm going to be talking to them. I make fun of them and belittle them in my head when I'm alone even though this goes away when I'm with them. I don't know why I feel this way but it's not the first time I've done this.

POST: Long story short, after he started using drugs every day and essentially changed his entire personality (including bringing me to tears on many, many, many occasions), my s/o and I cut ties with the guy who was our best friend for 10+ years. I'm afraid that since we were really his only close friends for that decade, he doesn't have anyone to talk to about his life/problems/ etc etc. Before when I thought about him, I would just get angry, but now I have a massive pit in my stomach that I've completely let him down and used the anger as an excuse to not reconcile this hostility a long time ago. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose both of your best friends at once, and I can't seem to get that out of my head. I don't know if he'd even care to be friends again, but I want to at least tell him that I'm here if he ever needs me. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could reach out to him?

I figured that it would be simple to request access through AT&T (that my old texts would be stored somewhere should they need to be retrieved.) When I called, they said there was absolutely no way that I could receive texts I've sent/received if they are no longer stored on my phone.

I feel as though I've read about court cases/situations where old phone records and old texts are recovered through the phone provider.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU by being high and trying to deep fry some french fries. POST: Last night after smoking a joint outside I go into the kitchen to fry me up some steakhouse style fries. The fryer was already out and heated up so I made the fries in just a couple of minutes, no problem. After they were done I turned off the fryer and got them onto a plate. Here's where my fuck up begins. The problem is that when we don't need the portable fryer we put it on top of the fridge, and my problem is that I am 5'1" so I am usually not the one to get the fryer down or put it up. In fact, I've never tried putting it back up at all. But there wasn't much space on the counter and I wanted to be considerate towards the other people in the house and put it up anyways. I managed to get it down slowly by standing on a chair before I was high, but when I went to put it back up while high I tried holding it like a waiter would hold a platter with my other hand solidly gripping the side of the wooden board that the fryer sits on. In hindsight, I should have done this after I let the oil cool down more. And it really didn't help that I was pretty baked. I put it up very slowly but when it was almost on top of the fridge the oil inside rocked the fryer from side to side and some of it came out of the top from under the lid and fell onto me. I pushed the fryer on top of the fridge without further incident but then I noticed that my chin and chest were burning. All I could think to do was put cold water all over where it hurt and try to wash the oil off. The oil hit my chin first before falling onto and into my shirt, but luckily my shirt absorbed most of it before it hit my chest. So all I got was a few mild and very annoying burns. And I pretty much spent the rest of the night reliving that event in my head and imagining what would have happened if I spilled it completely or if the oil was much hotter. The fries were delicious though. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Went to put the deep fryer on top of the fridge after I was done with it. Spilled some hot oil on me in the process.

POST: My girlfriend and I have been going out nine months and she's not the type to sleep around and she's slightly critical of other promiscuous people (especially those with a track record of going in bare and being reckless). Anyway, she has a friend she's not particularly close to and she made a comment that she would never consider dating anyone that has been with this friend of hers since those men are only there for the pussy, they use her friend, and any man who is dumb enough to fuck her without protection has no standards or any regard for his personal health. Well, I kind of fucked the friend. Three days before I asked my girlfriend out. She doesn't know. At all. She thinks I hadn't fucked anyone since the relationship I had before her because that's what I told her. I'd keep her in ignorance because if I could do it again I wouldn't have fucked the friend but we were both drunk and she was down to fuck and I wanted some pussy. Now, my issue is that their friendship is on the rocks and I feel that if shit hits the fan her friend will tell her we fucked and I'll be caught in a lie. I do know that she wouldn't be dating me if she knew I fucked her friend and she's the world to me. She's foreign and not as liberal with random fucking between strangers (which I'm not opposed to at all but she doesn't know that). I do admit that I find that quality in her super admirable but, again, I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place.

POST: A month ago, my ex-boyfriend (it still doesn't feel like it) broke up with me. It was a LDR, and we had very poor communication, and I was dealing with a lot of stuff and never great at completely opening up to him. I disregarded a few of his texts for a while because I was trying to de-stress myself. Then he finally called and broke up with me. His final words: "I'm done" and he's had enough. I know I was at fault for the bad communication. Been in a 7-year relationship before, but I never felt this strongly with another person before. He was almost everything I wanted in a person. Didn't have a hard time getting over the person of 7 years, but I did have troubles with the whole being afraid of getting hurt thing. Just when I started to open myself up again, my heart got crushed again. Maybe I still need to work on myself? We loved each other very much, and I know we are both trying to move on. We decided to stay friend, but not now. I think we are doing the no contact thing, and it's only been a month. The only reason I'm staying friends with him, honestly, is because I feel like maybe in a month, 6 months, a year, we might get back together. I think about him all the time. I have so many hobbies and distractions, but my mind still continues to wander. I don't want to 'wait around'...although, I can't help but think that we might get back soon.

Confused, I see my friend, mouth agape, pointing at a car that was taking a turn at our corner. Apparently it was full of teenagers and one of the kids in the backseat had a Super Soaker or something. My first reaction was "OH HELL NO." And I suddenly decided to run after the car like a mad man. The blocks in our downtown are fairly short and the intersections off the main path are all 4-way stops. The teenagers kept getting held up by lines of cars waiting at stop signs, giving me ample time to catch up to them. I could hear them yelling to each other through the open windows, "DUDE, HE'S COMING AFTER US. GET OUTTA HERE." At one point, I was able to pound my fist on the trunk of the car. At that point they decided to just book it. They swerved into the oppose lane, run two stop signs, and then I see a cop car in the next intersection give chase to them, flashing lights and all. I'm gasping for air as I'm watching this unfold. My friend finally catches up to me after a bit and I told him those idiots were going to get pulled over.

We have been together for 8 months. I have a lot of student loan debt, she has about half as much currently but will have about the same amount as me once she graduates. I'm financially responsible and budget each month. I have no CC debt, but I do have car debt. She does not budget, has CC debt, car debt and house debt. She's in a much more financially vulnerable state than me -- mostly due to her refusal to budget or deal with money using "pencil and paper". I've told her that budgeting and managing finances is a deal breaker for me. Her response was that "she would do this for me, and agreed that it was a good idea for her independent of me." She's only been on this budget for a month ... and so far had been doing fine, but now it's the end of the month and she takes a trip to see a friend (seven hour drive). So she's pretty much blowing her budget. She gets very stressed out whenever the topic of finances comes up, but has verbalized that she will try. I've made it clear that I have no wish to micro-manage her finances, and that I only want to teach her some skills, and it's her job to apply them.

I love her, I believe she loves me, but our sex life is gone. Lately she has been very private about her phone, texting to some guys I don't know. If I ask about, it's just some old friend and I leave it there as I don't want to seem jealous and crazy. One time I happened to glance over my girlfriends shoulder when she was on her phone. She had the gallery open and I saw some pictures with her naked in provocative poses. This happened while she was texting with some guy I don't know (and old friend she tells me) who I saw send her an almost-nude-dickpick (underwear on but shape still very visible). I confronted her about it and she started crying. She said that was not meant for her, the guy was drunk and she already (supposedly) had to told him to not to that anymore. But the nude selfies I saw on her phone were not meant for me. She's never in our three years together sent me a nude pic. She told me that the pictures were for herself, she has low self-esteem and likes to take pictures of her body when she feels good about herself. I really want to believe her, but just can't. To add to all this, our sex life is non-existent. We've talked about it on a few occasions and she claims she doesn't want anyone else, and it kills her that she doesn't want me either. I want to believe that she is not cheating on me, just sexting at worst. I tried talking about it when I saw those things, she kept very defensive, apologized and told me she hasn't sent any pics of herself to anyone. I asked if I could check her phone but she wouldn't let me. Is it completely wrong for me to try and look through her conversations or picture albums on the phone?

POST: If you've read my other questions, you know some facts about the relationship, but here's all the background context: Her last exes spent a lot of money on her. They took her out on dinner dates very often, took her shopping, paid for her clothes and her gas, bought her necessities and luxury items, and even paid to have her car repaired (300-400 dollars). I, however, am not as loose with my money. I like the idea of equal and fair effort/spending for both parties. She is a nearly broke college student and I am a not at all broke graduate. I have told her that if she needed help paying for gas to get to my place and back, then I can help her out. This arrangement was fine. She only asked every month or two. Now she seems to be asking every time she drives down. This last time, I gave her the money and not 20 minutes later went out and bought herself 10 dollars worth of non-essential stuff. We argued over it and she said my money was not used for it and I said I enabled her to buy that item because I would not have given her the total gas money, just the amount she needed in addition to her own spending money for gas. She expected I'd pay her gas to allow her spending money, not give her gas because she has no spending money. In our argument over this, she brought up her ex claiming that HE would have bought her the luxury item AND paid for her gas. She also claimed that she has never been treated so badly by a boyfriend, and one of her boyfriends was physically abusive.

Many of the times, I am not with her but she always comes home to me and is faithful. She told me today that she was invited out for some drinks with a guy friend of hers, but she didn't have any money to buy drinks. He said that he would buy her a few to help her out. Here is where I chimed in. I asked, "Don't you think its a bit weird for guys to buy you drinks when you have a boyfriend.?" She doesn't seem to think so and lets guys buy her drinks at the bar all the time. She doesn't mind if strangers buy her drinks at the bar either. I just think its a bit weird that she lets other guys buy her drinks at the bar when she clearly has a boyfriend. Is it weird for me to think this way? TL;DR: . Assistant:

I would ask her out soon, but she told me awhile back that she doesn't believe she is ready for a boyfriend (we have been very open with one another) she says that she is too immature but still continues to flirt and do all those things listed above, She has even invited me to her home an hour away to a BBQ that her parents do every once in awhile. We've also gone out for lunch just the two of us. I would like to ask her out soon, but I want to do it at the right time.

I never really talked to her due to us not having classes till we each had a friend who came to gether and we were heavily involved which lead on to us talking more often. I was upfront about it that i like her cause i had not much to lose and she liked another guy. We talked alot and watched tons of netflix through skype/facetime and at school, she gave me a hug before class. So i started hugging her before her classs and we sat together at lunch. I really started to think she was getting to like me when one time she snuck a kiss on my cheek before class. And then one day at the end of school i was getting to hugh her and she pushed back and went home. When i asked her what was that on text, she simple told me "I couldnt hug you because my crush was right behind you". And now ive just been depressed. I feel like its my fault for getting my hopes up too high TL;DR: . Assistant:

We got kind of lost and wind up unknowingly walking through the projects. My friend goes down an alley to go take a piss and i'm standing next to a dumpster allegedly committing the same offense according to police. I'm standing there, on my cell phone showing no sign of urinating. I turn around and walk past the alley where my friend is and all of a sudden i hear a voice from the distance, and I turn around to see a few police officers walking from the street a good 30 feet away. They ask if we were just taking a piss and i don't even have time to answer before they take our IDs and walk off leaving us with a couple other officers. Not to mention one guy pulls up in a fucking taxi cab that was an undercover police car. Anyway, we don't even have a chance to plead our case, and to be frank we don't really bother because we know it's a lost cause. They tell us how we're walking through the projects and that we were putting ourselves in danger and all this crap because they heard gunshots earlier. Meanwhile we're standing there for about 15 minutes like sitting ducks with the other officers who are extremely on edge and jumping at any noise while this officer who disappeared is writing out citations. They play it off like it's nothing and say we can pay it online for $25. I get home and here I have a citation that makes no mention of paying online, and simply says to plead guilty you have to appear at the court date shown on the front, or to plead not guilty you must send it in before 48 hours is up and await a court date to arrive in the mail.

POST: The other day, my friend was explaining to me that "Fraping" (Facebook/rape. Y'know, someone leaves themselves logged into FB, leaves an odd status, profile owner later claims it was "hacked".) a gay person would be difficult, because you would have to leave a status update saying "I'm straight". Apparently that wouldn't work, because it would be a "compliment". Yeah. Apparently, if you're gay, being called "straight" is a compliment. I asked him, if he were gay, would he take being called gay an insult, and straight a compliment. "Yeah, of course! Why would I want to *seem* gay?" I had to drop the subject. He's said plenty of stupid things in the past, but he's pushing it. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Apparently it's an insult to be called gay, and a compliment to be called straight, regardless of whether you're actually gay or straight.

But what bugs me is that because I am open 'nice' or whatever, she feels the need to be very close to me, which I enjoy in our friendship, but it also attracts me to her. this has happened before with another girl and my solution was that I just shut her out of my life after telling her. but I can't do the same thing with this girl on account that we're going to be in all the same classes for the next 2 years. I am thinking of telling her how I feel, and telling her that I know how she feels, and that a potential solution, would be to keep the friendship superficial. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I've managed a very small part-time job in addition to being full time student ($2400 in 2012, which I will file taxes on!).

There were only 3 other students in the class and there was a pair of good friends making the feel of the classroom bubbly and fun to be in. I had a good time so i whipped out my phone and music and started my way back to the train station. As i was really happy what had happened today i wasnt looking at the path i was walking on and this is where i TIFU. my foot encountered a slimy surface as it walked over it. curious as i was i looked behind me... and there is was a huge piece of shit smeared over 30 cms long. i thought it mustve been like that. i look at the bottom of my shoe and it went from a black surface to a complete brown colour. so i spend about 3 minutes trying rub my shoe in te grass but the genius i was it sunk into the cracks of my shoe. best part was if i wasnt trying to clean it i wouldnt have mossed my train and now i have to wait 20mins...

I'm freaking out a little bit. I've been suspicious of him for a while, and recently there have been more and more convincing signs (him being out unaccounted for during the evenings for hours at a time, leaving in the middle of the night for hours without telling anyone, and him being up very late in the garage talking to a woman on the phone), but this is the first definitive proof I have gotten. Honestly, with the way our family life is (mom is a hopeless alcoholic who he is most certainly not attracted to anymore, and my brother [14M] and especially me being something of failures, I'm not surprised that he felt he needed an out like this. I am really just in shock and I have no idea what to do. I could confront him, talk to my mom, or pretend I don't know anything and that this didn't happen. I struggle with depression and bipolar disorder myself, and this has just hit like a very hard blow. I was on my way out to smash my bong, and trash the last of my weed, cigarettes, and alcohol (something I have been meaning to do for too long and finally summoned the courage to), when I saw him in the garage sitting in one of the cars on Skype. Listened in on the conversation for a minute or two. I can't deal with this tonight this late, and there is no way I'm going to be able to sleep sober tonight. TL;DR: . Assistant:

I am 100% aware that the relationship is over and I am 100% trying to move on right now. My friends are extremely supportive and they always chill and distract me until late at night when they go home. I also got new hobbies like lifting, got a new haircut and did changes to my life to try and be a brand new person. However, I am having problems like not being able to sleep at night and even if I do, end up waking up extremely early. At night, my heart will keep on pounding like a race horse when I am alone and no matter how hard I try I cannot distract the feeling. When I watch a tv show or play games the feeling stays and distracts me from whatever I am doing. When I finally fall asleep at 3AM I always end up waking up at around 7:30AM~ with strong thoughts on her and my heart pounding really fast again. When I go out and eat with my friends, a regular sized pho is usually an easy finish for me but lately I am struggling to eat even half of it. I lost all my appetite. I am trying really hard to get over this but it is so hard for me at night and in the morning, is there anything I could do to stop these feelings from getting to me? I have a counselor appointment booked for this weekend but for now I am really trying to get recommendations from all you experienced and amazing people to help me not get those pounding feelings anymore and to be able to eat. Thank you so much for all the responses from my ex post, it really helped me make up my mind and I cannot thank you all enough for helping me through my toughest times. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/legaladvice TITLE: USPS mysteriously sent me someone else's package - readdressed it to me [US] POST: Mysterious situation. Sorry about the text wall. Located in the United States. A few months ago, I bid on (and won) an auction for tools and other supplies on a popular online auction website. The package was mysteriously delayed during shipping at one of USPS's sort facilities due to what I assumed was the rather extreme inclement weather. Once I received the package, I found a letter from the postal service INSIDE the box stating that due to a mishap at the facility there were packages that became dislodged during shipping. If any problems arose to send a letter to their complaint department. The package did not contain the tools but rather an incredibly large number of sealed DVD sets to a very popular TV show. I contacted the seller and he had no idea what I was talking about with DVDs. He stated that he sent only the items pictured in the auction. I have no reason to believe that he was being disingenuous because when you compare the price of both items on Amazon, the overall value of the DVD sets is much, much higher. After some back and forth with the USPS I was able to reach someone who started an official search at the three USPS sort facilities in the region. After three months they terminated the search and stated that my item was not found. I also inquired what to do with the DVDs that I received. Initially they said to keep them sealed because if my original package was found, they may need me to send the DVDs back to the sort facility. But later they essentially told me on the phone that they didn't know what to do with the DVDs. Months have gone by, and I decided to try and recoup my money so I've started selling them locally. I've only sold a handful, but I began to wonder what kind of legal ramifications I could run into ? Also I became paranoid that the DVDs may contain some kind of elicit or illegal material so I unwrapped several of them and skimmed through them on my computer. I could not find anything out of the ordinary. They appear to simply be the entire DVD set of the TV series. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Mysteriously sent huge box of boxed DVD sets of a popular TV show. USPS lost my original package. Seller had no idea what I was talking about. Want to sell DVDs to get my money back.

We have been madly in love for around a year now and visit each other as much as physically possible (Very LDR). She has always been the type to have more guy friends than girlfriends and i've never had jealousy over that, as we are both pretty laid back. The problem recently is my SO and her best friend tend to go to shows / bars and then some how end up back at people (normally guys) houses. Before the obvious ''she is cheating on you'' comes around, I can wholeheartedly say I trust her with my life and know she would never cheat on me. Last night she went to a show and the same thing happened, I woke up to a message, ''we went back to some people's house after the show, they were nice though!'' and it annoyed me a lot, and i'm not sure why. When I was last over visiting she mentioned if her ''new friends'' would be out (she hadn;t remembered there names(2 guys her and her friend dont seem to know to well but go and chill with sometimes (they smoke them out))). Upon saying this, her flatmate asked ''do they know about'' and pointed to me while I wasn't really looking. Too which my SO replied ''I don't know, I don't know when I would have ever really said''. This all sounds very dodgy and maybe it's just my head painting it in that light, but she is a very transparent person and like I said, I whole heatedly trust her. My only confusion is in my country, to go back with some people (girls for my case) I met at a show, that would mean a lot of back and forth chatting while out, and a lot of suggestion towards something sexual. Maybe it is very different in America? I'm really not too sure. I'm confused as to whether me hurting and being angry is me misdirecting new insecurities now we are in a serious relationship or if I have a right to be annoyed. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: I was about 4. We had a HUGE white dresser (probably just a normal one, but in my memory it was HUGE). And I put all my clothes in the top 2 drawers. That way, I had empty space at my level in which I could play games, or hide things, or whatever. Also, I used to climb on top of the dresser a lot and heavy drawers were hard to pull out to make steps to get on top of the dresser. This created an unstable equilibrium which I was not aware of at that time. Well, I was playing near my dresser one day, and bumped into it and it came toppling over on top of me. It ended up falling half onto the bed, so it didnt squish me. But I was terrified. And that was my first lesson on "center of gravity." My roommate thinks I am strange and she never did that.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/personalfinance TITLE: Back Door Roth IRA POST: I've been reading about investments and Roth IRAs sounded interesting. I can afford the maximum contribution on what I make part time. However, I looked at the income maximums. Because I live in NYC and am planning to go into a STEM career (something programming related, probably won't get an MS though), I know that I have a greater chance than others to be fortunate enough to pass the income limit sometime in my lifetime. Plus, a Roth IRA can be maintained until I'm 70, and a lot can happen in that time. The income limit for married partners is higher, but I have no desire to get legally married regardless of whether I have an SO or not, and from how I understand it, the taxes only help if one partner makes significantly less than the other. Again, considering my occupation and even my current SO, I'll likely be making around the same amount as my SO, though obviously I can't be sure. I also heard about back door Roth IRAs and tried to read about them but the jargon confuses me and I don't know if there are notable differences between it and a normal Roth IRA. For record, I'm still in undergrad, so yeah, I'm jumping the gun a bit on everything. So TL;DR: . Assistant:

But now I have a new problem. This group of friends go out for breakfast every Saturday Morning. It's become a tradition that we've come to look forward to. We go to the same delicious restaurant with fair prices, and the wait staff knows us all by name. My ex and I continued to attend after the breakup. We looked past the awkwardness because the tradition had become so important (and fun!). But now a new obstacle has presented itself. He has acquired a new girlfriend who has no taste for my presence. Thus, he set an ultimatum for our friends circle: It's either him or me. What do I do? Do I continue to go with my nose high, saying that he can stay home (since this is just childish)? Or do I put my pride to work, and step back so as to avoid any of this ridiculousness? Which option would make me more mature? :: TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: I [27F] was accused of being racist by [23F] POST: This isn't an immediate problem but something that has been playing on my mind. It was the ex-housemate of my boyfriend. A stranger, not his friend. My boyfriend and I are long distance and both complete introverts, and so when we get to spend time together we keep to ourselves. She lived in the house for about three months. I said hi when I saw her, but nothing beyond that. It was civil enough but mostly she wore headphones and spent time in her room. Quickly, my boyfriend began having problems with her. She was stealing his food and damaging his utensils, and playing loud music at antisocial times. He confronted her when I was there (politely, because he is also shy) and she lost it. Screamed at me and him. Said we were racist and rude to her, ignoring her. Called me a white princess. I never saw her again because she moved out, but before she did, she had another rant at my boyfriend where she called me "beautifully white" (I'm technically mixed race) and again made the racist accusations. My question is: what on earth do I do when I'm accused of racism? Racism is absolutely terrible and it really saddens me to think that anyone thinks that I dislike them for no reason. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Was accused of being racist by a girl I exchanged less than 10 words with. Feeling confused and not sure what to do in future.

Long distance love btw. POST: Almost every day we discuss/fight about my fears, about being cheated or changed, or being left behind. Our clocks are 7 hours difference and that makes it even worse. I know he loves me, and he wouldn't never hurt me, I understand it, and I'm fine until I start to overthink and I get insanely crazy about it. I'm also pretty secure about myself, i have a good self esteem, but when I think about other girls they suddenly look like they have something that make them better for him than me. It gets so but so so so hard to deal every night, I dream about him fucking random girls and I'm afraid of losing us every night. If someone have read "the unbearable lightness of being", I'm exactly Theresa, but without the real cheat from her partner. Deep inside knowing that is all bullshit, not true and is just in my mind. He's most of the time really patient and supportive with that, but I'm afraid he's getting sick of it, like it's obvious. I'm also getting so tired I have suggested several times to break up, not because I want to, but because it seems to be the only way to let it go and being relax again. But he's telling me we won't break up because of this. I'm really exhausted of this thoughts because they're there every second. I've spent weeks reading about jealousy, and it haven't help. I need to stop and I really don't know how. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Wouldnt stop screaming until I left. POST: Jill and I share the same friend group. I have actually know Russel [25m] for about a decade now. Jill thinks Russel has a crush on her and always talks about him like he is some sort of Hercules. In reality, Russel and I have slept together in the past and continue to do so. I don't share my sex life with people and Jill has been told by Russ that he doesn't like her, has other interests, and really would prefer she kept it cool. Russ invited Jill to a BBQ and told her to tell me, and two other girls (Megan and Tina) (24f). Jill told them, but not me. Megan finally asked me for a ride to the BBQ and asked if I had made anything. I called Russel and asked him, he said I was invited, and was surprised I didn't know. He'd told Jill 3 weeks ago, since we are all really close (and Jill lives with Megan, who I spend a lot of time with). I brought Megan and Jill freaks out at the BBQ, accuses me of stalking her, trying to embarrass her. She was trying to hook up with Russ the whole night. She pretty much screamed at me until Megan and I left, Tina staying to calm her down. I am not sure what to do about this. I like Jill, but I am not sure what made her freak out on me like this. I am not sure why she thinks she can talk to me like that. I just don't deal well with conflict. What happened? TL;DR: . Assistant:

I'm currently trying to lateral into a different division and have met with a person who did a similar switch. He said he would ask his manager... which he did and then said they were currently working on winning some engagements and that they may have a need in the future. This was 2 weeks ago. Fast forward to yesterday... met another two guys in the group at a random after-work event and they offered to meet with me and talk more about the group and everything. The first guy introduced me to them. I also reached out to an alumni from my school doing similar work at a different firm (not trying to move, just informational), and he said he was good friends with the head of the group at my firm and would be happy to introduce me via email. I said that would be great, but I'm hesitant. I'm worried that I'm coming across as trying too hard now. The only people I reached out to are the first guy for coffee and then the alumn, but I feel like meeting with too many people in the group and expressing an interest is being overambitious (even though I never even asked to get coffee/be introduced, except for the first guy). Should I proceed with the meet-up with the head of the group? Advice appreciated. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: We have been together for 7 years and have 2 small children (2 and 3). We have both had issues with impulse control and stepping out of the relationship or causing distance when stress gets high, but we are the best of friends and partners when things are going well. It feels like our biggest issue is communication, we never speak about the tension until the bomb is already going off. There is no history of abuse or drugs. There was a social drinking problem on my end for the first few years of the relationship which caused me to be much more distant than I would like. I've been struggling with being the person I want to be for me, her, and my family since the start, but I've often failed. Relatively recently I have been succeeding in showing her how much I care and who I want to be. She seemed to appreciate these changes. We have had several breaks over the course of our relationship where she gets space then eventually comes back, but we have never really "started over" We are currently having one of these breaks, but this time it looks like it may end in divorce. I'm struggling to keep it all together for us and the kids. I don't know what to do. She doesn't want to discuss, talk about, or go to counseling. My current game plan is to give her space, be nice and present as much as possible, and hope for the best. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: We dated for about a year, getting together while we were both in sixth form (UK, not sure of the US equivalent) and I broke it off a couple of months after leaving for university (I live away from home, about a 3 hour drive) pretty selfishly as I wanted to experience the life of a single lad at uni. After enjoying myself for a bit, I realised how much I missed her and took her for granted, you know the little things like having somebody to talk to all of the time, somebody to depend on and her in general. I isolated myself from all of my friends and eventually became depressed about the situation as I discovered she had practically wiped any existence that we even knew eachother. Then, out of nowhere we suddenly begin texting again, leaving me completely and utterly confused about where I stand with her. To make sure I didn't end up becoming depressed again, I made my feelings absolutely clear that I wanted her back and essentially issued her an ultimatum, to which she responded saying she knew what I was going through but claims a lot has happened and that I need to understand that she "isn't saying no". I come home for a couple of weeks at the end of March and she wants to meet up and see what happens. TL;DR: . Assistant:

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/loseit TITLE: [HELP] Want to become fit and stop the depression POST: * Hi /r/loseit, I'm making this post as motivation for myself to start the path to losing weight. I'm a male, 18 years old, 5ft 7in, and weighing in at about 180lbs now. I have always been a little overweight, recently varying around the 160-170lb mark. In the summer of '10, I began to lose weight from around the mid to high 160's and got down to around the mid 150's. That didn't last too long as I began to go off that course and back into the mid to high 160's, occasionally low 170's for brief periods of time, until I would start watching my weight again. I fluctuated around this weight for a long time, and even up until recently, as recently as mid November, I was in the 160's. The plan was to start losing the weight, and finally go into the goal weight zone I was hoping for. * Things somehow soon went downhill, with a combination of incredible amounts of stress, and finding relief in partying and eating as much as possible. As I reach the tipping point of 180lbs, I just continually slip into depression about my weight and lose self confidence, which was already lacking before, which just adds on top of the incredible amounts of depression and stress I have about other things. I know that 180lbs isn't exactly a huge overweight mark or life threatening, but at this point, it's one of those things that's adding to a huge pile of depression, so I just want to take a step to fix that. * All I really want is to start working out and get myself down to the goal of 145lbs, and fit. That's 35lbs, and gaining some muscle. I'm asking /r/loseit for just some support and tips, how to lose weight and gain some muscle. I'll start to put up some before pics soon. Thanks for reading. TL;DR: . Assistant:
Gained ~15-20lbs in a month in depression, want to make a change. Seeking advice and workout plans.

As I reached back, I felt a big fart coming - the "this is gonna really feel great to get out" kind. I let rip. Long and hard. It was loud, and thundering. The bed shook a bit. A subconscious "ahhhhh yess" joined the symphony. Just as I put the phone down, I felt it buzz. Confused, I looked at the screen. Why had it sent a voice note to this beautiful girl I so looked forward to seeing on Thursday? Weird. Unbeknownst to me, I had activated a voice note with my thumb.

POST: Backstory: Because of a very unlikely string of events someone I consider family left his email account signed into on my phone. Of course mobile view is enabled and I found it difficult to log off. While trying to do so I saw this email and my mind was blown. He's going to college, trying to get his life back on track after some mistakes in high school. I'm not directly related to him but he's considered part of my fiancee's family and thus I consider him an extension of my own family, and I stick up for family. I'm all for responsible drug use however bath salts and a lot of the other herbal products they discussed via email all have some kind of risk associated with them. I keep thinking of him flipping out and killing one of the dogs, or ruining his college career, and me being the sole person who knew and could have done something, anything, to prevent this situation from spiralling out of control. Telling my mother-in-law is out. He'd get kicked out and go back to the same shitty home situation as before. My father-in-law would probably have a heart attack and it would be game over then. For both of those reasons that idea is out. Also, he hasn't actually ordered anything as far as I'm aware. But those are very recent emails. I'm just at a loss as to how to approach all of this, as I know he's a good kid and just trying to keep his nose clean and get that urge out of his system with a replacement. I just can't help but feel that the entire string of events leading up to this moment was for this reason, so I knew and could do something about it. The only question of course is what to do. TL;DR: . Assistant:

POST: My ex and myself are very good friends (strictly platonic). We dated for two years, nearly a decade ago, so much time has passed. We were good friends before we dated, and are even better friends afterwards. From what I can tell, there's no intentions or signals from either of us get to get back together. We had one rough point - and this is kind of important to note...very shortly after breaking up with me, she started dating my best friend. And my entire circle of friends knew about it, but they were given explicit instructions to keep me in the dark. That circle of deception, targeted to one person...me...was something I was very angry about. We eventually patched this up, but it took several years and a long tearful cab ride together to sort things out. Anyway, back to present day - I met her roommate a few weeks ago when my ex invited me over to a BBQ, and the roommate and I had a great date tonight. If things keep progressing well, I would like to tell my ex, considering how badly I got burned beforehand in a somewhat similar situation; I feel like it's only right for her to be among the first to know. My ex and I are pretty much best friends at this point in time, but I would feel very weirded out if I ever saw her over to hang out (much less sleep with) my roommate privately in his room. I'm sure she'd feel the same way if I were there just to hang out with her roommate and not her. So...I know the general advice is to dump the ex and never see her again, but to those rare few that are on good terms with their ex's...any advice on how I should proceed? TL;DR: . Assistant:

This is super childish, I know, but I'm pretty rattled about the situation. The MOH, Erica, has been a terrible person for the duration of the wedding planning. Without getting into too much detail, she has made every aspect of the wedding about her. In addition to this, she has really upset the bride, Ashly, with the financial aspect - Erica can't afford to be in the wedding, but had an absolute fit when she thought she wasn't going to be MOH. Erica and I were close friends for a couple years but have drifted apart due to her moving to a larger city a few hours away. So, onto the issue at hand: I had bought a few cute outfits for Ashly's kids for Christmas. Ashly didn't know I was getting them anything, it was a surprise. I was pretty excited about the clothes, and had sent Erica a text with a picture of the outfits. So, she texts Ashly with, "so OP got your kids clothes for Christmas, what can I get them that's actually memorable?". Reddit, I know Ashely probably shouldn't have told me Erica said that. And I know I probably shouldn't have called out Erica on how rude she was..... But I did. I was pissed that she ruined my surprise. I could write a novel about the aftermath, but Erica flipped her shit on Ashly, and said some pretty mean stuff to her. I feel pretty bad for Ashly. Is there anything I can do to help my friend?

I've recently realized the harmful effects of porn and my addiction to it and have gone about 34 days without masturbating or looking at porn (don't plan on ever doing it ever again). Because of this, I realized I've been missing real human connections. I've never had a girlfriend even though a couple girls in high school liked me but I was still clueless and never made any advances. So while browsing /r/relationships, /r/relationship_advice, and /r/AskReddit I've noticed many problems with relationships but the one big thing is the amount of cheating. I know sex and emotions can be separated but at the same time I think sex is an act not only for pleasure but an act to show the intimacy of a relationship--something done with one other person that you made a commitment to. But looking at how long-term relationships can end either abruptly or slowing suffocating, it makes me wonder if I can open up and allow myself that vulnerability to another person. I know one person cannot meet every desire of another person and I also know there is no "perfect" one out there. We all have our flaws and we can love it or hate it. I also have friends in relationships and some say being in one isn't as great as it seems while another one has been dating for 3 years contemplated a few months ago about breaking up with her if he got into an out-of-state med school. Which made me realize our ability of apathy after love. So what I'm asking for are some successful marriages/relationships that may or may not fit my ideas about an intimate relationship and how you and your partner(s) have made it work (hopefully permanently).

POST: My father is a depressive pessimistic alcoholic hermit. He is currently unemployed. He has been fired from several jobs for various irresponsible reasons, which he will argue are/were out of his control. He pulls the pity card any time I try to rationalize his situation with him and look for a way out. I have to admit, I have been enabling him. I have allowed him to remain on my cell phone provider's family plan (for free) as well as utilize one of my checking accounts to pay some of his bills with the small amount of money he has to his name. Tonight I found out that he has overdrawn on the checking account, so I am going to close that tomorrow. I have also since switched cell phone carriers to be on my wife's family plan (to save money), so the cell service is going to be cancelled tomorrow as well, seeing as it is only burning a hole in my fiscal pocket. I can talk with him until I'm blue in the face. I can take responsible action concerning my end of things. But there seems to be nothing to motivate him. He has had ample time to go out and get a job. He was a big rig driver (all of those jobs he squandered), now he could at least go out and get a menial job just for the income, but he doesn't. He's exhausted his retirement, fails to drawn on his pension (because he believes that he can't 'yet', so he doesn't try...either way I think it is small and he only gets half because of a divorce settlement), and he's in the process of losing his house and everything he owns.

I am also fully aware that audience outside of the UK may have difficulty understanding the UK academic system however in all honesty the back story is not dependent on responding to the premise. Anyway, onwards: My girlfriend, of 4 years, suffers from performance anxiety after being bullied during her early teens (before she knew me and for the for the first year of our relationship). She got good grades at GCSE (yep, from THAT side of the pond) from grades A-C in 10 subjects. Since then she has failed all but a couple of modules in her A levels. I am not too keen on submitting exactly what her A levels are, she has been known to browse reddit on occasion, but lets say they are not easy subjects. She currently has offers from 4 universities in the UK, all requiring very low grades that reflect her AS level performance, however her school are skeptical as to whether she will meet them. I have always been supportive of my girlfriend and would never want to even discuss any alternative arrangements as I don't want to make her feel as if I am doubting her, however should things not go to plan I don't want to find myself in an awkward situation, unable to help. I am worried that she may not get into university and really just wanted to know how reddit felt, without it turning into a circlejerk on pro/anti-university. It is stressful for my girlfriend as she works so hard, gets good marks in her practice papers only to see the grades slip through her fingers when it gets to crunch time. I have offers to do Economics to 3 Top 10 Universities and can say hand on heart she has alot to offer. I will however be very busy once I start my courses in late september and will therefore not be in the best position to help her at all times.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [17 M] with my friend [17 F], dilemma POST: Hey /relationships, just a question about where to go with my situation. I'm a senior in high school, and single after a rough breakup with someone I was very attached to. My friend, (S), helped me through the breakup, was supportive and listened to my unhappiness. I heard through a mutual friend that S was interested in 'hooking up' (vague high school terms) with me. I'm conflicted. S is an attractive, funny and smart person and under normal circumstances I wouldn't hesitate to engage in 'activities' with her, but since there's an emotional/very friendly connection between us I'm worried about ruining a friendship. I was assured by the mutual friend that S doesn't want to mess up the friendship either, but she is still very into hooking up. What do? I don't want to offend S by denying any advances she might make, but I'm a horny and lonesome teenaged boy. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I'm sure you could be spending it doing something more productive. TL;DR: . Assistant:
my friend is interested in a sexual relationship with me, some emotional baggage exists and I don't want to upset a friendship

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [23F] with my boyfriend [23M] of 5 years are in a LDR for the first time. How do I manage this? What works? POST: My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 5 years (like 15 days shy) and living together for 2 and he recently left to go overseas for a graduate program. We are both in MA programs but he is in England and I'm still in the States. We have a very strong relationship and have openly discussed getting engaged in December (we are both pro that idea). The LDR would end in 2 years when we both graduate and then we agreed to go to PhD programs together. I am uncertain how to handle the stress and loneliness of a LDR. He has never cheated but with him being so far away with a close female friend I cannot help but worry. The time difference (8 hours) makes it very difficult to talk with him and feel like we are still part of each other's lives. I don't know if there are any tips for LDR or how to keep the fire alive sorts of things. I guess, my main issue is that I'm a terrified that since I can't be there to meet his needs he'll find someone else who can. I have already initiated a plan to lose about 15 pounds before I see him again as a kind of "Surprise baby, I'm sexy now!" thing. I am busy with my own program so I'm working towards that to keep me busy. I have a few friends here but since I'm late to graduate many of them have moved away. My family is also fragmented since the death of my mom so family support is minimal. If there is anything else you need to know, I'll try and check regularly to answer anything I should have included. I'd mostly like opinions on what I should do to try and make the LDR successful and what helpful hints might be out there. Or hey, just your opinion on the matter too. Like, how do you shake this fear of infidelity even without evidence there is one? Thanks! TL;DR: . Assistant:
Will be apart for 2 years (on and off) and need to know what works and how to handle the stress of being alone and fear of him cheating.

POST: I am interested in a lot of things and can do many other things so I guess you can say I'm a 'Jack of all trades yet a master of none.' If money and time weren't an issue I would love to keep up with photography, crafting, and baking. I would keep up with music (I can play and sing) and I would learn how to play new instruments. I'd like to also keep up my love for helping people and exploring wildlife. If possible, I'd learn new things too such as how to snowboard, rock climbing (not on a wall in the gym), and even how to drive a race car (big fan of top gear and racing would be fun). To sum it up, I'd try to learn everything I possibly could. TL;DR: . Assistant:
snowboarding, rock climbing, race car driving, basically anything I've always wanted to learn but never had the chance to or I would improve what I do know to be better at it.

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [25 M] asked [22 F] on a second date, she cancelled. Where to from here? POST: So after a good first date I asked her out again a week later, just over to mine, watch a film, pretty relaxed and casual compared to the first date, she said yes and sounded enthusiastic. I text her that day to see if she was still on for watching a film later at my place. She said yes and would give me a txt before she called over. A couple of hours pass and then I get a little paragraph of a txt to the effect of - She'd been in a terrible mood all day. She felt she wouldn't be good company for the night, that it was for my own good and that she'll have to rain check. I simply replied 'No problem' and left it at that. I feel her reason for cancelling is pretty valid and I haven't questioned it. But my question is, where do I go from here? Do I contact her and try rearrange or do I just leave it and wait for her to make contact with me? TL;DR: . Assistant:
Girl cancelled date, not sure whether to contact her to rearrange or wait for her to contact me to rearrange?

Human: Summarize the following text : SUBREDDIT: r/legaladvice TITLE: Can my boss take money out of my paycheck if I'm not going against my contract? POST: So I'm quitting my job and gave my two week notice to my boss. I offered to stay longer than two weeks but he seems to not care about when I go. In my contract, I get 8 paid days off. I have only taken 6 so far. I told my boss today that I have not used all my paid days off and would like to use the remaining two next week. His response was that he doesn't want to pay for my vacation since I'm leaving on short notice. I'm not leaving on short notice-- two weeks is protocol everywhere. There is nothing in my contract that says it has to be approved, whether those days are sick or vacation, etc. It literally just says "8 paid sick and personal". So if I do just wing it and take my days off, can he take it out of my paycheck? TL;DR: . Assistant:
can my boss take money out of my paycheck for days taken off even though it is outlined in my contract that I am allowed to take those days off?
