What's New Online

He obviously didn't come up with the idea himself.

1. Whose idea was the AMA, originally?

2. How much did you know about Reddit beforehand?

3. Was Woody Harrelson typing these responses himself, and reading the questions with his eyeballs, or was that someone else's lane?

4. Would you consider AMAs for promotions in the future?

5. How much did they pay you for this clusterfuck?

Edit: You must be reading this, unless you're just too dumb to live.

Here's what you do: tomorrow morning, you go Newt Gingrich on it. Burden of proof rests on the accuser in a court of law, and it can be made to rest on the accuser in the court of public opinion. Go grab some college kid with good grades who knows what the hell Reddit is and understands trolling; he's now your damage control.

Practice radical honesty here. Let us know that the guy behind the keyboard of iamwoodyharrelson isn't Woody Harrelson, but rather a handler. Have Woody answer legitimate questions in the order in which they're received; have the handler tear up accusers to the best of his ability.

At least, that's what I'd do.

Today at school, a lesbian couple (possibly sophomores, but certainly at least underclassmen) were "caught" kissing in the hallways by our Dean. Our Dean routinely witnesses straight couples making out in said hallways, but has yet to write up a single one.

Not only did he write up the lesbian couple, he--despite the pleading of one of the girls--called their parents and explained what had happened. The girl who had been begging the Dean not to call had in actuality not told her parents of her sexual orientation, and despite being made aware of this fact, the Dean proceeded to make that call and out her.

My question is this: is there any kind of legal action that can be taken against the Dean? Is there any group (such as the ACLU) that could be notified for potential further action? Could my school's district be informed to then take appropriate measures, if there are any?

I know plenty of school officials have had to resign over discrimination and specifically homophobic conduct; I personally cannot see why such a thing is not warranted in this case.

EDIT: This is high school, sorry if I didn't make that clear.

UPDATE: The girl's parents grounded her, whether it was for the revelation or the alleged "extreme PDA" as the Dean is now calling it is as of yet unknown. The Dean has also called for some kind of meeting to take place on Monday, open to anyone who wants to go, to discuss the incident. Rumors coming in about our school cop's involvement in the incident, but I've yet to get anything solid on that.

Some people know that you get those psychedelic-like colors and images when you close your eyes after rubbing them or while pushing down on something. Is it light that's penetrating your eyelids? That's just a shot in the dark, I honestly I have no idea whatsoever. It amazes me what I see, and always had me wondering what exactly makes those images appear.

It's 1:30am where I am now, on my 23rd birthday. I'm single, have no friends or family in the area right now, I can't sleep, nobody's online (I have precisely one person on my Skype contact list, and they're offline) and I'm lonely as hell. The only people I know around here are work colleagues, I have no friends in this entire city and haven't done since moving here 2 years ago, except for one person - the one person I'd love to have wishing me a happy birthday but won't ever, because I've ruined things with her to the point I've had to stop myself from contacting her.

Make me feel less alone, Reddit. Please.

Thank you Reddit for being fucking awesome, and putting up with my swearing, and not vomiting yourselves inside out at that picture of me. Seriously, you have made me feel so much goddamn better. Sorry to anyone who I haven't been able to reply to or whatever, trust me it's all very much appreciated, and thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you all for your kind words, wishes and advice. It means a lot.
