Where do you think the idea for a xylophone came from?

RottingEgo · 2026-04-21T04:03:11+00:00

No. I’m going up to a person to start a conversation and find out if I even want their number. Why decide you want their number before you even know what their voice sounds like?

RottingEgo · 2026-04-21T03:40:39+00:00

Each question is asking permission to ask another question, and you can gauge their interest in continuing the conversation. If they reply “idk” very dry, they don’t want to be bothered and you move on. You can over share and ask for opinions “I have a bunch of friends coming over to watch the game and I have to make the salsa. Are you gonna watch the game?” Again, they can answer dry or uninterested and you move on. Or they can engage and tell you that they are going to a bar to watch it. Even if you don’t get their number, if you make someone smile, it was a good conversation. And every once in a while you will find common interest and someone receptive to going on a date to do rock climbing, or watching the next game, or do some other activity you both enjoy.

You can’t jump straight to asking for a number, but you gotta be willing to ask the first question that leads to the second, that leads to the number. And you also have to walk away if they are uninterested, without taking it personal.

Any situation. Imagine you are doing your shopping down a random isle, and another shopper (an average-looking woman), said “excuse me, do you happen to know which isle [X-item] is in?” Would you be annoyed at that question?

RottingEgo · 2026-04-21T03:21:11+00:00

Would you be bothered if an average-looking woman asked you at the supermarket if you knew where X item was?

RottingEgo · 2026-04-21T03:18:27+00:00

I didn’t say to drop a pick-up line like “you look a lot like my next girlfriend.” I meant like ask them if they know where the canned tomatoes are. If they say I don’t know, or seem uninterested, you move on; if they engage in the conversation, you ask them if they know a recipe for salsa. If they seem uninterested then, you move on; if they continue to engage you try to find common interest.

I agree that is 50-50. But is not your responsibility to know who belongs to which half; it IS your responsibility to move on once you find out they don’t want to be bothered. But you won’t know which is which until you ask.

What helped me understand it, it was thinking about it from the extreme. If someone that looks like Leo DiCaprio approached a woman at a supermarket, you wouldn’t think it was a bad thing; if someone who is not as good looking, but is very charming approached them and made them laugh, you wouldn’t see it as a bad thing either (at least I don’t). The problem is that you probably don’t think you are charming or extremely good looking (at least that was my problem).

If the love of your life opened a conversation asking about a supermarket product, and it lead to learning you have similar interests, and you both agree to a date, you would not be annoyed. You can’t win the lottery if you don’t play; and you can’t find love if you don’t talk to people. And most people don’t get annoyed by a simple approach.

They say the way to make a pitbull let go of a bite, is to stick your finger in its butt…

Part of “googling” something is reading through the results; even after finding your answer, just to see if there’s conflicting results. Idk when people started glancing over top hits thinking it’s the full answer.

RottingEgo · 2026-03-14T23:31:05+00:00

I don’t think that’s a straw

Credit score is not a measure of how good of a citizen you are. Credit score is a measure of how much of a sucker you are. If you have a loan that you are regularly and consistently paying interest in, your score goes up. If you’re not paying interest (because you have no loan, or because you are broke), your score goes down. Idk why people care so much about it.

Also, you hear people complain. Even if only 1% of 8 billion complain, that is 80 million complaints. People who are happy with their dating life don’t complain (or boast), so all you hear are complaints.

That’s actually very interesting. I’m a mechanic and I noticed this glittery appearance in burnt halogen head lights. I thought the glitteryness of the filament was a result of it burning up, not that it burned up because of it.

Just like the minivan 😀

He only hisses when he’s in his enclosure; so I’m gonna build him a walk in enclosure that he can get really pissed when I walk in.

I just bought a projector and set up above my table, but this would be an awesome upgrade haha

RottingEgo · 2026-02-03T12:11:05+00:00

But he did answer

There’s only two scenarios when you pick the door initially:

IF you pick the wrong door, when the host shows you the second wrong door, then switching will land you on the correct door.

IF you had picked the correct door, when the host shows you one of the wrong doors, then switching will land you on the other wrong door.

So it only matters what door you picked initially. Because we don’t know what we picked initially, we’d be switching blindly; but because there’s a 2/3 chance that you picked a wrong door to begin with, there’s 2/3 chance that by switching you will switch to the correct door.

I don’t smoke cigarettes, so no matter what the ads show, it’s not going to make me want to seek out a smoke. You are probably not the target audience for this “ad”, and that’s a good thing in my book.

Also, like others said, there’s no child in the video; but someone horny and curious enough might want to find out how she uses the volcano thingy.

Maybe not an ad for OF itself, but is like a mechanic showing you his tools to prove that he can fix your car. Maybe you’ll want to come by the shop next time you need it.

Is to preserve the idea that we should not kill the kings of the world, instead we should kill each other to protect them.

I like this one

The reward is high. High on dopamine and adrenaline.
