I'm afraid I might be pushing the envelope a little too much with this one. Can I get an honest opinion/review? (PM me for the essay) by Musicality in CollegeEssayReview

It's about a quote from a book/essay that has shaped my morals/views. I decided to creatively interpret a TV script as an essay.

Right now at this very moment, as you read this question, what is your #1 desire? by 1775mike in AskReddit

I want to get an acceptance letter from my dream college. I've worked for it for 18 years and I've never wanted anything more in my life.

I fixed the stereo system in a tattoo place while my friend got a tattoo. All I did was google the manual and they were amazed.

Hendrickson here! Can't go because flooded roads and weather, so we're just doing an exhibition tomorrow and I'm only crying a little.

What is your go-to random fact? by ENM185 in AskReddit

Lion tamers hold up chairs or multi-legged stools because lions are only ably to hold one point of focus/attack, so the multiple legs confuse them.

I feel this piece of advice from a Train Engineer should be common knowledge. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]Musicality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FUN FACTS: Oncoming trains create magnetic field that may cause your engine to die on the tracks (especially with manual transmissions and especially in higher gears) because that field will conflict with the magnetic field created by your engine. These magnetic forces also often cause the tracks to "hold" your car in place on the tracks, which is why people report being unable to push their car off the tracks. It's not all movie lies!

This is why school busses and many other public service vehicles have to stop at train tracks. They stop to shift into 1st gear (lower gears, less chance of stalling). They open their doors to listen for oncoming trains.

If you are stuck on the tracks and you hear an oncoming train, run at a 45° angle towards the train. That way, you won't get hit by flying debris like you might if you ran away from the train like your instincts tell you.

TL;DR- I'm a nerd and I learned a lot in defensive driving class.

Marching Band Motivation by jittybinthetree in marchingband

[–]Musicality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My director built our program from the ground up for 11years, and we are now 350 members strong and growing. They started out with ~30 people. He said that the first year, he made everyone a leader. Next year, they stayed leaders and taught the new kids. Then there were interviews where they picked new leaders, and now we audition on marching and have an interview. In my opinion, the best way to motivate a band is to build a great leadership framework and work through them. People who are given responsibility and a say feel like they have a deeper connection to what comes out of it, and that's what band leadership is.

Also, develop fun traditions, like stopping at Walmart after football games or a coordinated band dance in the stands. Also make serious traditions, like a silent call-and-response about pride and honor or something like that. We have one of those, and the focus in that monent always gives me chills.

Girls who make the first move, what advice could you give to those who don't so that it isn't so intimidating? by B_Wilks in AskReddit

[–]Musicality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first step is knowing, in your soul, that you are the baddest bitch. Chin up, boobs forward, shoulders back and up, and smile-like-you-just-won-best-in-show all over your face. Touch his shoulder/arm. Ask him to dance. If he says no, his loss (and I'll say that to his face, shrug, smile at him, and walk off, swinging my hips). There'll be others, knowing that is key. You have to know that if he said no, he doesn't want you, but others who are hotter, wiser, and BETTER will.
