Welcome to R slash advice, where OP discovers inappropriate photos of herself as a child on her father's device. Our next Reddit post is from Gabriel. I found inappropriate photos of myself on my dad's device. I'm a 23-year-old woman. I'm very scared right now, and I don't know what to do. I know that I saw these photos he took of me when I was younger, but I didn't understand.

When I was older, I started to think about it more, and I had. asked a trusted adult if she had to take photos of her kids like that for any reason. She said, no, there should be no reason for that. When I looked up potential reasons that could justify the photos I saw, I pretty much read there's no real reason why taking those photos is necessary. I confided in my biological mom about this three years ago. She's a drug addict and got drunk one night and yelled at my dad about what he was doing. He immediately denied it and told me that if Someone said that he did that to not believe them. He said that he had to take some pictures of my body for a doctor one time, but it wasn't inappropriate. I didn't say whether I knew or not, but I did just ask him when and where these photos were taken. He said I was standing up and it was in our home, and I knew that that was a lie. I was sleeping when he did this, and it was at a family's house. I was very upset with my mom for tipping him off and giving him time to think up an excuse and destroy evidence. He works night with double shifts often and lives in a different state than the one he works in. He lets me go

inside his house whenever and says that I have a room there. I rarely go because he makes me uncomfortable and the house is very creepy. But when I was kicked out of my home, I had to have my pet stay at his house for a couple of months. I've tried to find evidence of what I know I saw many times and failed. I went into his house this week and just felt extra compelled to look further and I found a one terabyte flash drive. I didn't have the cable that was compatible with it, so I took it home and ordered the cable online. I'm at work now, and I just plugged it in, and there's years worth of photos. I was on a shared desktop, and people could walk by, so I was quickly browsing through childhood photos. I then found the bad ones. I quickly unplugged the flash drive and closed out every tab and

reset the computer. I'm in shock right now, and shaking. I called my brother so I could tell him just to say it out loud. It's hard to focus at work right now, and I just need to get this off my chest. When I get home, I'll look through everything. What would you do? Also, I only have contact with my dad because he supports me a lot financially. He's buying me a car tomorrow and pays for my college and a lot of bills. This puts me in a tough position. O.P. Lawyer first, cops second. Some people in the comments are saying, wait for the car first, then lawyer, then cops. Which is an option,

I guess it's kind of up to the individual if that seems appropriate or not. Personally, I wouldn't even mess around. Even possessing a hard drive like that, it would feel like having a bomb in the house. They could go off any second and just blow up and destroy my life. So I would want this situation resolved

as soon as possible, personally. Still, O.P., sorry you went through this. This sounds awful. Our next credit post is from Requirement Due. My girlfriend smells, and I don't know what to do. We've been together for five years, and not once has she really had a hygiene-related problem that was significant enough for me to comment on until just last week. Out of nowhere, I got smacked in the face by a horrible, rotten smell when she hugged me.

I didn't even think it was her at first. I honestly thought I might have forgotten to wash my hands after using the bathroom or something, so I went and tidied up. Then we went out to get some groceries, and I got to have. a waft of that same smell while shopping. I finally realized that it was coming from her, and I could smell it from about three feet away. I couldn't believe it. Absolutely rank. I had to tell her. Some of you might say I'm a dick for that, or how dare you? I don't really care. I'd want someone to tell me if I smelled like something died. I did it in the nicest way that I possibly could, and she actually

took it well. She's showered when we got home, brushed her teeth, etc. But yeah, that didn't help. The thing is, it isn't even really hygienic per se. She showers every day, has a hygiene routine and everything. It's not external dirtiness, it's literally coming from inside her. When she sweats even just a little bit when we're in bed, or when she gets home from work where she's been up and about all day, I'm hit with these offensive wafts that smell like literal diarer. I'm not even trying to be mean. The smell is so putrid and repulsive, it literally makes me wince and want to puke. The worst part is, her breath has the same smell, even after brushing her teeth. This makes me think it's health-related somehow. I don't think I've heard of this being a symptom of anything before,

but honestly, what else would it be? Totally random. This has never happened even once. I just don't understand. She's smelled like this for almost two weeks straight. And honestly, the part that worries me most, aside from it being health-related, is that she doesn't even seem to notice it. I can guarantee with certainty that her coworkers and friends certainly do. It just sucks. I'm finding myself avoiding being in close proximity to her, and I don't want to make her feel bad. What do I do? Anyone know why she smells? Does she need to see a doctor? Then OP posted an update. I do have a few revelations to share, and one of them actually pertains to me. It turns out that one of the antibiotics I'm taking amplifies my sense of smell to bloodhound levels.

I'm smelling all things a hundred times from distance, including my girlfriend. Keep in mind that it isn't altered but amplified. Secondly, she visited the dentist, and they told her that she has gingivitis. Now now, let's not celebrate yet because we don't know if this is the culprit until they've treated it for a week. But this is very likely the candidate. Then another update. First off, the culprit has been confirmed. Rot gingivitis.

Turns out the smell that I was picking up is better classified as rotten eggs and it's consistently associated with gum disease. The dentist gave her a heavy-duty mouthwash and within days of using it the smell has slowly tapered off. Crazy. Now for the squirrely parts. I didn't include this in the previous updates, but this whole process has made her very insecure. At first, she seemed to deal with it quite well, but in the days following, she started

behaving really badly towards me. Where she was agreeable in the beginning to get checked out and get the issue solved, later she actually started to retaliate, blowing off the dentist's appointment, refusing to use the mouthwash they gave her, ignoring me, blowing up on me over little things. Long story short, her disrespect got to a point of no return, and our five-year relationship is actually over. I ended it. I'm really shocked, and I'm sure whoever is reading this is as well. The bright side, she's now dealing with her death breath. The dark side, the situation brought out something in her that I didn't know existed.

I'll be damned, gingeritis. Down in the comments, people are sharing all kinds of stinky infections that they've grappled with, and apparently some people can smell cancer. One person mentioned that her husband had bad breath, and it turns out his lungs had melanomas, and another person said that their mom started stinking, and it turns out that she had breast cancer. So I guess the moral of the story is if you start mysteriously stinking, go see a doctor. Our next Reddit post is from Ephib.

My husband, who's in his 60s, found out there's a woman who apparently could very well be his daughter. How do he and I best proceed prudently from here? My husband did the 23 and me thing last year to find his genetic background. It was mostly just a lark. He had essentially forgotten about it, but yesterday he got an email from the site that he had some more relatives. Until now, these had been third or fourth cousins, no biggie. But it showed that he had a 50% DNA match. Her name is visible on the site.

He immediately knew that it was probably no error, as he had a fling with a girl with that unusual surname for a few weeks after high school, before he went off to the service. We have no children, and we've been talking about this wild bit of news nonstop. We're both optimistic this could be a wonderful new part of our lives, and it's exciting, but we want to navigate this carefully and thoughtfully. What first step should we take? Then OP posted an update. My husband and his newfound daughter, Eve, had a very good and cordial Zoom call that after a few minutes of jitters became surprisingly relaxed. I leaned into view,

said hello, and left them to their own. Eve's face is exactly a female version. of my husband's very handsome features, which somehow gives me a smile inside. The following info is what my husband relayed to me after their lengthy call. Eve is in her 40s, successful, and content in a happy marriage. No kids. She was adopted and raised by her biological mom's brother and his wife, who were and are her mom and dad, and always will be. She got their reassurance and permission to seek out her bio-dad, so as to not cause any hurt before she did the DNA quest. They shared quite a bit their life stories, both being pretty gregarious and surprisingly comfortable after a while. They exchanged contact info and plan to do more talking and eventually meeting in person.

My husband promised to bring school pictures of her bio-mom and any memories and anecdotes about her that he can recall. He also let Eve know that there were no medical or genetic issues anywhere in his family that he's aware of. There was one huge dark cloud that isn't going away any time soon for my husband. When my husband asked about her biological mom, she deflected several times till near the end of their chat. When she told him that she was adopted because her mom died in her childbirth. My husband is taking this hard. Last night, he wept while sharing with me that he feels like he got somebody killed. As a result of him just wanting to get laid, I'm standing by this exceptionally great man of mine and will insist on counseling,

or help if he can't shake this off by ourselves. On the brighter side, it does look like the Bio Dad and Bio Daughter's relationship got off to a pretty good start. Our next Reddit post is from Zealous Ideal Ask. My dad started going to the pub a lot more lately, and I was actually quite happy at first because it sounded like he'd finally made some new friends. He kept mentioning The Boys, like he's 22 again. There's one guy called Marcus, who by all accounts, sounds a bit rough. My dad says, he's all right once you get to know him, which is never reassuring. Anyway, recently my dad's been coming in late, like properly late. And a couple of times now, he's just casually said they all went egging after the pub. Egging, as in throwing eggs at houses.

These are men in their late 50s. The first time I thought he was joking, but he fully doubled down and even started telling me which street they went to like it was a normal. hobby. Apparently, Marcus is usually the one suggesting it, which tracks, because he sounds like a bad influence. What to do in this situation? Should I just let him enjoy his new friendship group? What if he gets arrested? O.P., I think you're going to have to ground him and possibly even take away his devices. It's the only option. Also, the crazy thing about this isn't 50-year-old guys egging houses, but buying eggs in this economy and wasting them by throwing them at houses. Who's got the money for that. Our next Reddit post is from Ahamau. I've been pretending to understand my job for eight

months and I think I've finally reached a level where I actually can't fake it anymore. Do I come clean to my boss or just keep going? So for context, I have a master's degree in something completely unrelated to this job. I got hired because I interviewed well and apparently fast learner on a resume is legally binding. Eight months in and I've been surviving entirely on confident nodding, strategic use of the phrase, let me circle back to you on that, and a browser history that's just stack overflow, and what is this word my boss just said to me? The issue is, up until now, the stakes have been low enough that vibes could carry me. That era has ended. There's a meeting on Monday with actual numbers and actual questions,

and my boss just told me that I'm leading it in a tone that suggested he thinks that's a reward. have four days. I don't know if I should come clean, speed run eight months of learning in 96 hours, or simply walk into the ocean. What should I do? Then OP posted an update. Many of you asked about the nature of my work. I'm a data engineer at a mid-sized logistics company in Germany. The project was building an end-to-end data pipeline that ingests real-time shipment tracking data from about 14 different carrier APIs, normalizes it into a unified schema in Snowflake, and then feeds a dashboard that our operations team uses to flag delayed shipments before they become a customer complaint.

O.P, I didn't understand any of that. Here's what actually happened. Over the last 96 hours, I slept maybe 12 of them, consumed about the same number of Red Bulls, watched maybe 15 hours of YouTube tutorials, and brutally, I cannot overstate this, abused my chat GPT, and clawed. Many times I thought that I should just come clean to my boss, but then I would open this page and your comments would give me the confidence that I was built for this. The actual move that saved me was going into the meeting with three very specific questions prepared, not answers,

questions, thoughtful, slightly vague questions that I directed at the senior engineers in the room. Those dudes talked for 40 minutes out of total, 60. At the end of the meeting, my boss thought, stopped me and said, that's really impressive work. I said, thank you. I've been thinking about this for a while, which is technically true because I thought about it for 96 hours straight without blinking. After the meeting, I went to the bathroom and sat on the floor, sat on the floor for a little while. Once I got back to my desk, my boss came up and said he wants me to lead the quarter two project. So, to answer my original question, do I come clean or keep going? You keep going about it. Apparently, you keep going until you either actually learn the job or the whole thing collapses.

And today, it did not collapse, so here we are. Opie, I think the grand secret is that most people don't really know what they're doing in life. You just don't know what you're doing a little bit more than average, so don't sweat it, dude. You seem to be doing all right. I can say it does seem that you are, in fact, a fast learner.
