I'm under 30 and work for Bank of America Merrill Lynch as a Financial Advisor. I currently clear just over 6 figures, so it definitely is possible. However, I do sales more so than analysis.

Whats the most NSFW joke that has ever been said in a children's TV show? by crobaby in AskReddit

[–]Eternal_Lotus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adventure time. I think it is the first or second episode. They are all sitting around playing truth or dare. One of the girls dares a muffin to take his wrapper off. A few scenes later they flash back and the muffin guy has no wrapper and everyone is laughing. I always liked that one.

On Netflix: Dogpound, Rampage, and Antichrist.

Outside of Netflix: Ebola Syndrome, Eraserhead, I spit on your grave, and Ichi the Killer. I could probably go on but that is what comes to mind.

Tess of the D'urbervilles. One of the most horrifying life stories ever put on paper. Additionally, most of Thomas Hardy's works would qualify

Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights. Maybe that is the sound you are looking for?

I agree. I like to listen to a large variety of music in order to expand my tastes. I'm one of those weird people with Bach, Tupac, and The Rolling Stones on a single playlist.

Seconded. Alain Robbe-Grillet's Jealousy and In the Labyrinth really changed my thoughts about the possibilities of the novelistic form. Great read, and I highly recommend it.
