Pro tip from me:
Learn a musical instrument. A good one. Piano, guitar, cello, flute, something that can carry itself. Man up, take some lessons. Practice hard. Listen to masters play that instrument, and work up to some genuinely difficult pieces.
Not only will you be developing a very useful skill, but you can impress the heck out of people you want to impress(read, girls, lol), it's a great stress reliever, you'll feel a lot better about yourself, and you'll expand your music library.
I'm a pretty shy guy by nature, am not confident at all with girls, and don't make new acquaintances easily. But I screwed around with piano a lot when i was younger, so I finally manned up and took lessons, picked up cello, am taking lessons at that, and also am teaching myself guitar. I can play a lot of cool songs on the three instruments, and not only have I developed a lot of friendships and acquaintances through music, but am seen a a mini-god by half the people that know of me.
Amazing returns for an hour or two a day that i would probably be spending browsing the internet and screwing around in video games.

Learn to be stupid. The number one reason people procrastinate and fail to start important things is because they think too much. Just write out a schedule or to do list and do it without thinking.
Stop thinking too much and start being a retard at life.

Bring it to one of those Asian Tailor shops, There honestly is no easy fix your zipper problem. It is an easy fix for a tailor, and its cheap.

Drawing can fulfil a similar purpose, but it doesn't help if you get so much into it that you're like "stfu! Can't you see that I'm drawing?" to anyone who dares approaching you.
Also, after watching someone draw something in the lecture hall for half an hour, asking "did you draw this?" makes you sound stupid.

I've noticed a lot of "advice" doesn't apply to people in general, it's more results oriented experiences which teach them (not necessary wrong things), but things that certainly don't apply to every situation.

when you're writing a paper and are trying to shorten it to meet the length requirement, you can cut a a few lines by going to the paragraph box > line and page breaks tab > unselect widow/orphan control. this stops word from moving lines from the bottom of a page to the top of the next page to keep paragraphs looking pretty. and if it doesn't seem like it's working, check it again, cause I've noticed it likes to revert back to selecting widow/orphan control.

Dont ask a girl if she is pregnant, because if she isnt you will be in an awkward situation.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but how exactly does flushing the toilet while pissing save any time? It's not like anyone stands around waiting while the water is flushing.

Toilet mechanisms are not globally standardized. Some require you to hold down the lever/button/chain for 5-20 seconds.

Like this?
If you have a child, don't pull at his/her arm when it is in a pronated position, you may sublocate the radius. Although it may be relocated quite easily by extending and supinating the arm, this should never be done without an x-ray.

yes and it also happens if you don't flash your lights
if it doesn't work every single time under the same conditions on the same light, it doesn't work. period. working from time to time = coincidence.

Works for every browser. Some go to the next tab, others work like the alt+tab and go to the last tab(s) you used.
