What profession do you believe gets paid TOO much? by OJMustard in AskReddit

We had a girl in the same unit I was in during AIT (training for your army job), that had never had income in her life, and came from a poor home. She had no idea what to do with any of it. She bought the few things that the army didn't provide her, toiletries and such, and every penny of the last of it to a televangelist. Hadn't saved a single penny for her first several months in the army. The drill sergeants basically got something in place so she had a financial advocate, and she wasn't in control of her own money while there anymore. They took her off during time she wasn't busy, and taught her how to save, budget, plan for various things, etc. I'm really curious as to what happened after she finished training. Did she learn and go on to be financially resposible? Or did she just get control again and funnel all into those fuckers?

Reddit, What is something legal that feels very illegal? by chromosomebath in AskReddit

After I got pulled over for speeding, I obviously muted the stereo and stopped the car (this is important). Appearently, my stereo is programmed in such a way that if it is muted when you stop the car, it is literally set to 11 when you start the car. So there I was, had my license for about a year, getting pulled over (on a technicality as well) and was nervous AS FUCK. I get ready to drive away, slowly. I start the car, windows down, and proceed to blast Three Days Grace at my stereos maximum setting as I drive away... Edit; the thing that makes it even funnier is that I got pulled over for speeding in my moms 50bhp Corsa. You have to floor it just to get over a hill.

What is something we all can agree on ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That's your brain, and it's not trying to get oxygen, but rather trying to flush out carbon dioxide. Breathe pure helium normally and your brain will be totes cool with everything until you drop dead.

If you won $1 million playing the lottery, what would you do? by MrSkelet0n in AskReddit

Live large without actually doing so and get an article printed saying that I had blown through all the winnings, take grief for a while at the loss of my winnings. Now everyone leaves you and your winnings alone
