1f92rx | Nixons_BACK | 1,369,804,346,000 | If you can identify where this scene was from I'll be eternally grateful to you, because for the past few hours it's been bugging the hell out of me and I can't find the answer on google. The scene was something like one man telling another about how he tortures and kills people, and that in their final moments people will show who they truly are. In that sense, you can know someone for their entire life and still not know who they really are if you don't get to witness how they handle their final moment. And this character went on to this that from that perspective he knows the people he's killed better than anyone else in this world, because he got to see who they really are in their final moments.

1fbqi6 | GuthanBrawl | 1,369,901,828,000 | I'm currently a senior, although I'll expect to graduate in about two years because classes at my univ are slim pickings. Anyway, I currently have a 3.81 gap(I'm trying my damn hardest to hit the 3.9 mark just to get summa cum laude recognition). I'm majoring in history with a minor in Russian. I should also note that I have not taken or practiced for either the LSAT or GRE. However, I've read up on their format and know their style of questions. I've also been a pretty strong standardized test taker. That's not to say that I'll get the highest score, but rather that I'm very good at taking tests and thinking under pressure.
I've had this internal struggle between law and graduate school after college. The more I think about it the more I feel as if I'm stuck at a fork in the road. I do have a deep interest in law, specifically criminal law. I've taken some pre-law(crim pro, con. law) courses at my school and my professors have told me that my thought process is perfect for law since I have great memory and can think on my feet. I also really enjoy studying history. I can easily see myself working as a historian.
Now, one of the main reasons I can't decide is because careers have a fairly poor employment outlook. I cannot see myself doing anything really that isn't academically related or isn't related to law. (Note: I've interned at law firms and assisted with legal research and writing. Currently, I'm a university-sponsered internship where I work with a museum curator researching Soviet history and artwork. So I've had some exposure to both of my dream fields. How should I go about this, Reddit? After speaking to several friends and professors, I've learned that in graduate school I have a much better chance of getting a PhD debt free(or close to it), while in law school I'm pretty much guaranteed at least $150K+ debt unless I qualify for an immense scholarship. | AskReddit | jewish |

1feua8 | ImNoEinstein | 1,370,018,076,000 | So my wife and I are pregnant for the first time ( yippee!! :-D ). She is of Ashkenazic Jewish decent so the doctor had her do some genetic testing ( ok, first child, Doctor says we do something, so we just do it! ). I didnt think much of it, and in hindsight perhaps I should have... we've done blood work plenty of times in the past and its usually $5-$30 after the insurance company negotiates it down ( we have a ridiculous deductible based plan )
My wife tested positive for cystic fybrosis, so the doctor told me that I have to get checked out ( this was all before I ever saw the first bill ). I said of course I will, and got checked as well.
The bill comes in the mail and blind sides us, $1600 for my wife and $800 for the cystic fybrosis test alone! Of course of all the tests, cystic fybrosis is by far the most expensive, and happens to be the _only one_ that the insurance company didn't negotiate down.
So now I'm suddenly in debt an extra $2400 out of NOWHERE with a baby on the way, what am I to do???
I tried talking rationally with the insurance company and the lab, both said there's nothing that can be done! I don't believe this can happen, suddenly I'm in debt so much without so much as a warning or given an option.
My current stance is that I'm refusing to pay unless they bring the exorbitant price down. They said they will send it to a collection agency and not allow us to use LabCorp services at all until its paid in full ( strong arming me! ).
Reddit, please help us!
Edit: Just to be a bit more clear on this: so apparently the insurance company considers this "covered" but only after I reach my high deductible... They did adjust the prices of some of these services, but didn't on the $800 x 2 cystic fibrosis for some reason. So technically "covered" but I'm still in the hole $2400 | AskReddit | jewish |

1fdv3k | crocomut | 1,369,973,179,000 | From the paragraph herein what do u understand regarding the pension scheme - you get it after at least 10 years of services and you cummulate 1.9% or 4% per year of services ??? meaning after 10 years of services you are eligible to 19% of ur last basic salary as pension or to 40% ??
So essentially, my doubt is if u collect 1.9% or 4% each year?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 3: Pensions and invalidity allowance Article 77 (8) (96)
An official who has completed at least 10 years' service shall be entitled to a retirement pension. He shall, however, be entitled to such pension irrespective of length of service if he is over 63 years, if it has not been possible to reinstate him during a period of non-active status or in the event of retirement in the interests of the service. The maximum retirement pension shall be 70% of the final basic salary carried by the last grade in which the official was classified for at least one year. 1,90% of this final basic salary shall be payable to an official for each year of service reckoned in accordance with Article 3 of Annex VIII. However, in the case of officials who have been assisting a person holding an office provided for in the Treaties establishing the Communities or the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single Commission of the Communities, the elected President of one of the institutions or organs of the Communities or the elected Chairman of one of the political groups in the European Parliament, the entitlement to pensions corresponding to the years of pensionable service acquired while working in that capacity shall be calculated by reference to the final basic salary received during that time if the basic salary received exceeds that taken as reference for purposes of the second paragraph of this Article. The amount of the retirement pension must not be less than 4% of the minimum subsistence figure per year of service. The pensionable age shall be 63 years.

Also, a guy said that if we can't support ourselves on a 100% organic, vegan, all-natural, diet without pesticides or genetic modification that some people (maybe a lot of people I'd assume) in the human race need to die. Awesome.
I have nothing against people who are proponents of organic food. I just think this particular group of people were REALLY crappy at doing it. So I argued against them. They said that I made them "lose faith in humanity" for my earth-hating views that GMOs may not be the thing which destroys our universe.

And speaking of hair, we would wash out hair once a month.
Also my mother would wash hers under the kitchen sink tap…
Of course, nowadays I hate myself to guts if I go more than 24 hours without a shower (but I don’t always wet my hair, still)… | AskReddit | jewish |
o0709 | TheIncredibleFlow | 1,325,538,784,000 | For me, hydrogen peroxide is my favorite chemical. I primarily use it on my teeth as it has exceptional whitening power (boosted by including an occasional baking soda scrub). Not only does it help whiten, but it also makes your mouth feel clean clean. Best way to get rid of beer breath - hydrogen peroxide. Also, by pouring a little hydrogen peroxide on your toothbrush, you can rest assured it's much cleaner than it was before.
Dental hygiene is a "maker-or-breaker" for me, and this is a powerful way to combat halitosis that manages to survive even regular brushing. | AskReddit | jewish |
o06kf | emdx | 1,325,538,149,000 | When "Airplane" first came out, I went to see the french-dubbed version (english is not my first language, but I’m fine, now, thank-you).
At one point, they say "better do this before the shit hits the fan", which was translated by "*ça va chier dans l’ventilo*" ("it’s gonna shit in the fan"), which in french means nothing at all.
It didn’t make sense to me at all…
Some weeks later, my boss gives me shit about something, warning me that if I don’t do it, "the shit is gonna hit the fan".
At this precise moment, I understood the joke in the film, and, of course, I started to laugh uncontrolably, so hard that not only the whole office came to see what happenned, but my boss started laughing, too, so hard that he forgot why he was giving me shit for in the first place… | AskReddit | jewish |
o05z2 | misterraider | 1,325,537,297,000 | [Inspired by this post.](http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/nzwjq/i_once_won_1000_by_googling_myself_has_internet/c3dapbu)
I'm adopted, and have been all my life. Sometimes (not too often, only every few weeks when the subject of adoption is mentioned) I wonder what my biological family is like, if they even are a "family." I like to imagine that maybe my mother just wasn't ready to/financially capable of having children, and decided to give me a chance, but what if they're still doing badly, and expect me to do favours for them? What if they are criminals, or illegal immigrants? I know I'm jumping to conclusions, but these are lifestyles generally associated with being poorer than average, as is giving children away for adoption.
Has anyone here met their biological parents? How did it go? Any advice? Any horror stories? Have you tried to integrate into that family, or at least include them in your everyday lives (even introduced them to your adopted family)? | AskReddit | jewish |

nzrzi | ESAsher | 1,325,513,687,000 | Please explain the joke I am obviously missing.
When I see comments that have become hidden due to a large number of downvotes, I also see a note saying "This comment has scored below threshold. (4 children)", or something like that.
Can someone please explain what that means, and why it refers to children?
**EDIT: Cool, thanks everyone. I'm honestly surprised that it has a logical answer. Reddit is full of so many silly little jokes. I was sure this was one of them.** | AskReddit | jewish |
nzrf9 | Dragon029 | 1,325,512,115,000 | I was reading [this](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16367042) before and saw this specifically:
>"There is also an interesting legal dimension in that outer space is not governed by the countries over which it floats. So, theoretically it could be a place for illegal communication to thrive. However, the corollary is that any country could take the law into their own hands and disable the satellites."
So, for example, the "hacker" satellite gets electronically jammed by China for giving it's citizens access to restricted websites. In retaliation, a second satellite from the same group performs counter-electronic-warfare against the jamming station.
Despite it's unlikelihood, would in this case, the US have to punish the hackers (should they be based in the US)? Are there laws that would come into play here?
I wouldn't expect the satellite owners to be able to claim compensation if their satellite is damaged, but would (eg) China be able to do anything to them, other than complain to the US to take action?
What if the civilian group's satellite actually destroys expensive equipment in the other country? | AskReddit | jewish |

nzg8e | Microsoftt | 1,325,482,808,000 | So if anyone has seen the movie Apollo 18, it tells you multiple times to go to the website "Lunartruth.com". It says it based its movie off of the 100 hours of film that was published there. Thing is, the site has no trace. Now if I were to think, Publishing a website they claim to exist in a movie that was very popular, they would break some sort of rule or code. Am I wrong? I must also point out I dont believe in conspiracy's but this got me thinking. Usually when a website dosent exist, it will give you the 404 cannot be found message, but whenever I try; it takes me to a search engine result. Another thing is that with that popular of a movie, I would assume someone would have taken that domain name. Got me thinking, reddit, what conspiracy's do you beleive? | AskReddit | jewish |
