40 Bits Of Knowledge People Learnt That Feel Almost Illegal To Know, Shared In This Online Group Unionization saves you more money than it costs you, you cannot be punished for attempting to do so, and it is NOT in any way illegal, rude, or improper to discuss your salary with your coworkers.

It feels illegal because every company on the f*****g planet has tried to make people think unions are evil monsters trying to get you to pay union dues for no return. This is false because union dues are much less expensive than a company underpaying you and trying to work you to death, which a union fights against. Unions are there to prevent worker exploitation, stop it if people were being exploited when they got there, and get you a fair wage that will actually let you live off of one job instead of needing 4-5 or to work criminal amounts of overtime.

My late husband got a low number in the Viet Nam war draft lottery. Knowing he would be drafted into the army soon, anyway, he made the rounds of the different recruiters. The Navy, Marines, and Air Force all told him wonderful stories about the benefits of signing with them. When he go to the Coast Guard he asked what they would give him. “A hard time” was the answer. He said, “Where do I sign? You’re the first ones who haven’t lied to me.” They said, “It doesn’t work that way. You don’t choose us; we decide if we want you.” Turned out that they did.

I understand *sometimes* cops lying to catch a criminal, like trying to catch a pedophile or telling them they already know the truth to make them relax and spill because they think they're caught anyway. But military recruiters lying in order to get someone to sign up to possibly die without knowing the ramifications should be really illegal. I'll never forget watching that Michael Moore doc about 9/11 where you see the recruiters hunting kids down at Walmart and s**t, talking about them like they're literally animals. And it was always poorer neighborhoods. You never saw them do that crap in a rich neighborhood. It's put to them like 'this is an amazing opportunity to make a lot of money and you probably won't even have to fight anywhere, and you get free college. And you'll never be able to do anything else because you're poor so you'd better sign up.'

Cops can and will say they're going to get you on something really bad but they'll lighten the punishment if you just confess to __________. Do not trust this. If you get picked up by a cop in the US, ask if you're being detained. If they aren't detaining you, you can go. If you are detained, don't say anything without a lawyer present. And be careful how you word it - you can say "I won't say anything without a lawyer here" but that won't get you any closer to actually getting the lawyer there because it's not actually a request for a lawyer. Side note, somewhat unrelated: if a cop ever takes off his badge while standing in front of you, you get the hell out of there

A military recruiter will lie through their teeth to get you to join. That is how they get their bonuses. They will also recruit mentally disadvantage people for that bonus. I know I picked up a whole bunch of them on a US military base while I was working in Iraq on the bus. They had a sergeant that was their handler he was escort them back and forth to the DFAC. and no they were not allowed to have weapons. I asked him why. He said it was all about the numbers..

I was a recruiter and guess what? Lying is thoroughly discouraged and frowned on. Depending on the lie, you can be taken out of recruiting and sent back or, in some cases, processed out of the military. Maybe, at one time, you were allowed to lie, but anymore, this is a hugely false statement.

I've said it before I'll say it again. 1) If you do not have a warrant for your arrest, you may leave at any time. 2) DO NOT say you "want" a lawyer. Say "I invoke my right to a lawyer". Saying you want one is like saying you want a new car for them. It's saying a desire, not putting into drive your rights. If you say this, and they continue to try to question you, you may be able to sue. 3) You have unlimited amount of phone calls. Hollywood just likes to make things more dramatic and make it seem like you only get one. Many people have been wrongfully imprisoned because their nerves got the best of them. Do not answer anything. They will turn it against you. That doesn't mean they're monsters, it means, like with anyone else, they have confirmation bias, and they have their entire town/city, along with their bosses, down their throats to find someone, they don't care if it's a scapegoat. Be safe all!

40 Bits Of Knowledge People Learnt That Feel Almost Illegal To Know, Shared In This Online Group Read a personal finance book that recommended calling your providers once a year (credit card companies, TV/internet providers, cell phone company, etc) and demand a lower rate or price. I’ve been following that advice for two years and have not been denied once.

Last week I saw a commercial for my internet provider offering a super low introductory rate so I called to demand that I get that rate. They said no problem and now I save an extra $700 a year because of a 5 minute call. I am a very passive introvert so it’s not the most easy or comfortable thing but the money I save is worth it. They may so no initially but if you ask a few times or ask to speak to their supervisor they very usually give in.

When you do a kfc survey you get free food, you can do them over and over again Steps- go in the survey site, it’s usually (franchise)listens on google Next enter a random code and keep refreshing for a good 15 seconds, then do anything on the survey because they don’t care, then just show them your code at the register, they also have to do it because it’s part of their job, this also works for crispy cream and other places to, don’t do it heaps because it’s sorta scummy (but enjoy)

I don't know why, Thermite itself itsn't actually all that useful or destructive. It burns hot sure, but it's not going to melt anything very well without a proper vessel to contain and direct the heat into the thing you want to melt.

Having started as a content creator that made articles for Bored Panda from scratch I climbed my way up to being and editor and then had team lead responsibilities added as well. So it was a pretty natural transition from writing articles and titles as well as preparing the visual part for the articles to making sure others are doing those same tasks as I did before well, answering their questions and guiding them when needed. Eventually I realized editing gives me the most enjoyment and I'm focusing only on that right now.

My (now long time latent) anxiety disorder made me realize some truths about life, nature and our place in the universe that I don't discuss with others to not bring them existential despair. I'm doing OK by the way.

The small dirt lot down the street from me has a water spigot coming out of the ground. That's where your "bottled at the source" Northern California spring water comes from. Big tanker trucks pull into this dirt lot off the street and connect to this little pipe with only a padlocked little fence around it and fill up with my town's water and then sell it in fancy bottles for $$$$$

That's gotta be a big spigot. Most tankers fill from 4-6 inch lines because a regular spigot would take something like 50 hours to fill a taker truck.

In Ontario Canada a resident of a long term care home cannot be evicted for non-payment. The LTC can remove perks like cable and move you to a cheaper room but cannot make you leave. If you really want to play it smart one could give their kids most of their money as an early inheritance (also saves taxes since it is a gift) and keep enough to pay only a few months. Hopefully the kids will spend money on a good ipad and internet plan for you and buy you some nice meals

I use to be able to reset or clear the admin and user passwords to Microsoft Windows computers really easily. Normally did it when people forgot their password. People always assumed I was some kind of dangerous hacker and not just an IT tech willing to help.

Former long term employee of a large sporting goods company. When you go to any store to get a regular soccer, football, volleyball, ect. it doesn't matter what brand you get. Nike, Wilson, Spalding, & many more meant for stores in foreign countries ALL come from the same manufacturering plant in China. It was relatively common open a box of "our" deflates only to find a competitors product in the box. So unless it's 'An Official Game Ball' (ie made of real leather) then it doesn't matter what brand you buy it's literally all the same. Just pick the design you like best the Brand Name means nothing.

In the US if you want to avoid taxes on a small amount and you trust your spouse, you're allowed to make a one time gift to them of up to 30K tax free as long as it goes into a separate account just in their name. You can really give it to anyone, but the recipient then doesn't need to claim it on their taxes. So if you trust your spouse, give it to them and file taxes separately. You'll lose other benefits of filing jointly, but if you don't have kids or really benefit greatly from that filing, then you can keep gifting 30k to each other every year and take it out of the bank and hide it under your mattress or whatever.
