Archived I sexually identify as an Attack Helicopter, my college diversity officer just yelled at me that I was being insensitive. AMAA (IAMA)

submitted 6 months ago by Marsog to IAMA (+232|-4)

  • 198 comments

Basically they had us fill out an "anonymous" form about any diversity issues on campus. Since they had an option to write in your gender I wrote in Attack Helicopter. I just got done with being reprimanded for writing the "wrong" answers on a supposedly "anonymous" form.

I'll respond to any questions that don't harm my privacy. And don't worry if I'm not answering questions for a bit, I still have class today and I'll get to it after class.

EDIT: What I think they did to find out who turned in that form:

When we turned it in, it was passed to the person in front of us, then the person in front passed it over to the left. Since it was a smaller class I'm assuming they easily figured out what order they were passed in, and then figured out who sat in what seat based on that order. This is just a theory though.

My other theory is a bit more conspiracy ridden: Basically they have these policy keys that we must have on our computer at all times to access the internet. This is also tied to our student #'s. I believe that they are logging what websites we go to and what we do online, and if this is true, it wouldn't be too hard for an AntiFa desk worker to put Voat/8chan/VPN user to Attack Helicopter Paper.

However if that second theory isn't true then I still believe that they are keylogging everything we type in.

Archived I'm the owner of a company that makes shitty chinese knockoff sunglasses! AMA! (IAMA)

submitted 5 months ago by Grifter42 to IAMA (+195|-80)

  • 214 comments

A little backstory, I'm a faggot who wants to hawk shit to Voat.. I was looking for some good quality sunglasses, but even still found them for at least $40 online. I wanted to undercut the market, with even shittier knock-offs. I did a little research and found out that if I used the chinks to make the product, that they could be made cheap enough to sell to stupid goyim. That's when I decided to create www.shittysungrasses.dotucommu, to rip people off on shitty sunglasses, flimsy, shitty gamer glasses and the worst prescription frames you've ever seen, we have recently added prescription lenses for $60 including the frame! What a great deal for fuckin' chinese crap.

Fuck you, /u/ImBeefy and /u/ImBeefy2

Your shitty astroturfed post is spam, and you should kill yourself.

  • 116 comments

Edit: October 14th 2016 Thank you all for your questions and comments. It's great to touch base with people's opinions whatever they might be. While I do get a lot of the same questions over the years it's still interesting to get them and see if I still reply in the same way. Because when I suddenly have a different answer then I know that something has changed me and it's really interesting for self reflection. I'll show up again some time in the future for yet another round. Until then stay safe and keep in mind: A stranger is a friend you've never met before ;)

Hello everyone, I'm Thor from Denmark in the north of Europe. I'm here to tell you a little bit about OUAS ;)

This is day 1,099 and we have reached 116 countries across 4 continents!

You are welcome to Ask Me Anything, read up on it here below or watch this short video to get some quick answers: https://youtu.be/igfIQ8STDco

Welcome one and all! :)


What is OUAS?

Once Upon A Saga is a complicated logistical challenge of historical proportions! It also has great humanitarian value and a source for inspiration for many who cross its path.

In short, the "Saga" is the quest for 1 man to reach every single country in the World in a single unbroken journey - completely without the use of flight! Although the World has been conquered geographically by travellers many times throughout history, a flightless journey is a feat that has never before been achieved...until now.

In order to understand the "Saga" better it can be seen as 3 individual projects:

1) A journey to every country without flight with all of its complicated logistics (203 countries).

2) A positive promotion of each country sharing stories of positive experiences to counter the negatives often seen in the media.

3) A positive promotion of the Red Cross Red Crescent movement, which was founded in 1863 and today spans across 190 nations.

As such, the Saga is known to provide three elements for those who partake: - Inspiration - Entertainment - Education

So, join us on the journey by spreading the word, that A STRANGER IS A FRIEND YOU'VE NEVER MET BEFORE! ;)

Thor ;)

NSFW Archived Former dominatrix, voluntarily swapped $250+ per hour for a $40k/year "desk job." AMA! (IAMA)

submitted 6 months ago by Tambourine to IAMA (+35|-7)

  • 99 comments

EDIT: I'm glad there's interest in this! I will get to all your questions to the best of my ability, although I will be in and out of the thread so your response time may vary.

Background:

  • the new job is pretty groovy. small company, casual environment, decent co-workers, career-building opportunities, etc., but if I remained a pro domme and really hustled, I could've saved up enough within 10-12 years to basically retire, give or take some part-time work.

  • I am 23 and have a 4-year degree

  • My parents did not know about my work as a domme, but my SO did

  • My work as a domme involved low (but not zero) risk of bloodborne pathogens, STDs, or legal trouble. I did not have sex with clients.

I made the change for a lot of reasons, including (but not exhaustively):

  • staying the course was a little risky; if I didn't succeed in saving the cash to retire, it could be hard for me to change careers around age 30

  • I felt like I was slowly losing my self-esteem and sense of dignity and was becoming cynical about the world, people, society, etc.

  • I felt that my work affected my ability to connect intimately with my SO

  • There was some risk to my personal safety, although I did my best not to meet clients in places where there could be an opportunity to hurt me

  • I couldn't help but feel there were ethical issues - people using my services when what they really needed was a doctor or a therapist

  • I am not a therapist; seeing that many lonely, "successful" men day in day out was, as silly as it sounds, very painful.

happy to elaborate on any of this or go in a different direction as requested!

Archived I think a spammer just subtly implied he would sick /v/Conspiracy on me for removing his obvious spam post. AMA! (IAMA)

submitted 7 months ago by TheBeautifulOne to IAMA (+33|-5)

  • 31 comments

TL;DR Spammer is trying to pressure/blackmail me using /v/conspiracy's community. Ask me anything about the situation, or my approach to modding!

Yesterday I removed an obvious spam post (mod log) made by LockedPost and subsequently banned him from /v/writing as a spammer. The decision wasn't made lightly; it was a result of going through is submission history first. For further reading, here is are just some of his archived posts, seemign to advertise the same sites over and over: http://archive.is/eiUvx, http://archive.is/5mahh, http://archive.is/Rb6Zy .

This morning, I woke up to this message:

https://voatpic.me/image/E9BD63D812

The fact that his post had received exactly five upvoats so quickly in a sub which, in my experience, has traditionally punished such spammy posts was the second red flag for me. In fact, it prompted me to go through his submission history, which I highlighted in this reply to him...

https://voatpic.me/image/A0E82127E9

... only to realize that he had also sent me this message, too...

https://voatpic.me/image/1A9B4042FA

I don't think he's actually asking for "permission" to repost anything I say. Now, I could be wrong, but it read more to me like he was trying to threaten me with a witch-hunt. Why would the fact that I banned one person who made what appear to be obvious spam posts be of interest to /v/conspiracy?

Ah, but this isn't /v/AskConspiracy. This is /v/IAMA.

So, feel free to ask me about @LockedPost's post removal and banning from /v/writing for being a spammer. Or, ask me about my approach to modding. Hell, you can ask me anything, really! I have to jump off for work soon, but I'll be back tonight to answer what I can!
