No, you don't ask for advice, you submit/receive unsolicited advice.

Here's mine: Don't ever ask for advice on any subject on the internet. Ever. They will only make sexual advances at your wife and/or pets.

If a woman tells you she's not angry about something/not disappointed/not (insert negative feeling here)...

She is. She's not even lying when she says she isn't. She just doesn't realize that she really does feel that way even if she says she doesn't.

What I'm really trying to say here is this: be careful of the fairer sex. She is beautiful and at times an absolute delight to be around... but as the saying goes, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." Don't take her word for it, boys. If she says she's not angry, yet her eyes burn like the devil's... uh, that's when you run.

A struggle against idiocy is a futile struggle. It was probably dumb of me to give that advice. But maybe, someone... maybe... YOU! Yes, you! Think about it for a bit.

Exactly the same meaning I'm using. Hell, I even used the word "ignorant" and referred to education.

And in psychology it's about mental disabilities.

It doesn't really get used much in modern psychology to my knowledge. I'm fairly certain "idiot savant" has been replaced with just "savantism" or something on those lines.

Don't argue semantics in fake advice threads. It only makes you look like a huge nerd.

There is no problem that can't be fixed with the proper application of explosives. You just need some creative thinking as what to blow up, or whether to blow them up.

Girlfriend leaving you? 30 bags of fertilizer and other ingredients put in your competition's basement, and one quick anonymous call to the authorities, and he's under arrest. Better yet, the ordinance can be remote detonated to "accidently" go off before bomb squad can arrive, and no doubt left in anyone's mind that he was building a bomb. You remove all trace of your involvement, and after she suffers the heartache that her new boytoy was a terrorist, you swing in and are all like, "Man, is it true that your boyfriend was in the IRA or something?"

If someone says "Hang on," they probably need you to wait a second. Not that hard, but very valuable.


Also, where possible force people to argue face to face. It's way harder to get angry at someone when you're looking at them and they're being civil.


Finally: Having lots of Josh Groban and Michael Buble on your iPod is never a bad thing. EVER.

a person is smart.
people are dumb.
the Internet is genius though, because there are too many people and they made the dumbness loop back around to smart. When you think about it people only exist in the eye of the beholder. It's an illusion caused by distance: When you try to observe a number of people at the same time, you lose perspective of them as individuals and they appear as "people", which makes them stupid.

That means human stupidity is contingent on one's ability to distance oneself from, sum up and prejudice against others; dependent on how easily we fall for the very persuasive idea that other people are less capable of independent thought and in fact less self-realized individuals than ourselves.

That means if we understand that we're not automatically better than other people, if we take responsibility for our own perceptions, we can make the world better for everyone. I just blew my own mind. O_o

Great. Now who's going to clean that up?

Also, I just read a book! So, for you, things!:

Develop the Gratitude Attitude
Having people list 3 things that they are grateful for in life or 3 events that have gone especially well over the past week can significantly increase their level of happiness for about a month. This, in turn, can cause them to be more optimistic about the future and can improve their physical health.

Be a giver
People become much happier after even the smallest acts of kindness. Those who give a few dollars to the needy, buy a small surprise gift for a loved one, onate blood, or help a friend are inclined to experience a fast-acting and significant boost in happiness

Hang a mirror in your kitchen
Placing a mirror in front of people when they are presented with different food options results in a remarkable 32 percent reduction in their consumption of unhealthy food. Seeing their own reflection makes them more aware of their body and more likely to eat food that is good for them.

Touch people lightly on The Upper Arm
Lightly touching someone on their upper arm makes them far more likely to agree to a request because the touch is unconsciously perceived as a sign of high status. In one dating study, the touch produced a 20 percent increase in the number of people who accepted an invitation to dance in a nightclub and a 10 percent increase in those who would give their telephone number to a stranger on the street.
And there's lots more in that book, too.

Honesty is the the best policy.

If you don't speak up, people will assume you agree with them.

If your boss knows you, it's harder to make lies stick to you. You also get more clout when you say there's a problem.

Respect is earned.

Always be decent to everyone. Only focusing on the people you think are important indicates you have ulterior motives, and even the lowliest janitor is the one with the keys to the meeting rooms. Businesses are not run by the managers. The managers simply manage the workers running the business. If they didn't have an important job to do, they wouldn't be there.

As much as it's within your rights and probably your best interest to be a pain in the ass to the man, I believe in telling the truth. It's always worked the best for me in the long term. Being dishonest, or even holding back information, always bites you in the ass eventually, no matter how great the short term benefits may seem. Of course it helps that I don't have a choice, I'm actually incapable of telling lies. But I think I'm not entirely biased.

Funny story about telling the whole truth and withholding nothing, when my condition can be established scientifically I'm virtually untouchable. For some reason it's the right of every person in civilized countries to lie even under oath - I don't recall the wording and I can't find my source, but anything you say when influenced by anything that makes it hard for you to lie your ass off is inadmissible in court. If you cannot lie you may not speak either for or against yourself. I think it's mostly laws to prevent torturing confessions out of people, but truth serums, hypnosis and Wonder Woman's lasso of unvarnished truth are all equally useless in a legal sense.
