 If you are one of those people who does not like to dream, avoid eating just before going to bed. I've learned this can greatly reduce the chance of you dreaming. If you piss yellow, this is an indication you need to drink more water. Pissing clear is what you aiming for. This next one has to do with masturbation: + Show Spoiler + If you are one of those people who wants a better feeling orgasm (so... everybody), tug lightly on your nutsack right as you come. It feels better. You may have to find exactly how hard and when to do so, but once you find your zone.... :D <-- will be your face If you really want to "warm-up" your legs before running a race or something, you must actually warm them up. So no matter how hot it is, run those beginning laps around the track wearing sweat pants, it'll loosen you up. If you want to high five someone and actually hit your target, look at their elbows when going in for it (not too unknown, has probably been posted before). Remember, CALORIES AND FAT ARE NOT INHERENTLY BAD. I know that many people get this idea in their head to avoid ALL fat and ALL calories. Don't do this. They are good for you. Avoid eating more calories and fat than you think you would actually use in a day (eg don't gorge yourself on a day when you are going to be sitting at home playing games and waxing your carrot). If you have a cramp (a "stitch") while running, in your side, continue running and it will go away. The cramp is caused by your spleen filling up with blood, and so continuing running will circulate the blood quicker. DON'T WALK. If you consider yourself a "weak" person, but really don't feel like the gym is the right place for you (maybe it is overwhelming), start by doing 10 push ups a night. I remember I used to be a little nubling, so weak that anything more than that would get me tired. Then after a time, increase it to fifteen. Then twenty, etc. Now I know that this won't necessarily make you "stronger," but it can improve your self esteem, and get into fitness. Buy (or pirate, it's not hard to find) Auslogics Bootspeed. This is one of those programs that is supposed to clean up your computer and make it faster; this one actually does. It is very all in one, and allows you to really customize your PC to be secure, fast, sexy, whatever. HIGHLY recommended. Remember that for every single study out there, there is another study contradicting it. The effect of video games, global warming, what to eat... make up your own mind, and use solid facts. Remember that many of this studies are biased or based on misinformation. Make a good impression on people. This is really important (I'll post a little story in a spoiler). -Have a good handshake. Make it firm, but not bone crushing. People fucking hate bone-crushing hand shakes. BUT don't go the opposite route and do a dead fish. That can give people the idea that you are weak and easy to push over. -Look people in the eyes. If you are having trouble with this, look at that spot just between the eyes; it is very difficult for them to tell if you are looking at them or not. Make sure, however, not to stare them down: it can be intimidating and off-putting (although sometimes that is what you may aim for xD) -Don't assume anything. Pregnancy, relations, country of origin... getting these things wrong will make you look fucking dumb. If you must know, try to find out in a more subtle manner ("So, what is your heritage?"). -Don't be a jackass. Don't try to act hardcore or anything. It really doesn't help, especially once you are an adult. You will appear childish. -SMILE. Even if it is fake, smiling will prompt others to smile, and you will share some happiness. Makes you more approachable and likely to be on good terms right from the start. STORY: + Show Spoiler + So I when I was younger, I went to a place called a Residential Treatment Center. This is sort of like bootcamp, but with a therapeutic edge. In this place, there was school and activities and group therapy and all that; each day you would get a sheet of all the activities you would be doing in that day. The staff who was with you at the time (staff was ALWAYS with you) would then rate how well you did in each activity using a point system. You wanted to make at least a 75% point rating, or else you would get on this thing called Reorientation and you lost privileges and couldn't talk without permission and stuff. It sucked. But anyway, back on topic. The point I am trying to make is the power of first impressions. When kids usually first arrive, they are defiant little fucks who will antagonize the staff at any chance they get. I was not like this, and immediately got on the good side of staff. Not only did I discover that they were all actually quite cool people, but also I got higher points. WITHOUT EVEN TRYING. It is hard to explain how big of a deal this was at the time. Have you ever tried not speaking at all for a week? There was a lot on the line, and simply being friendly made my first couple of weeks VASTLY easier than most. It just made life easier, and, although it was still hell, made that place more enjoyable. It made it bearable. | ||

If you have some really cold icecream that is hard enough to bend your spoon when you try and get it out, get some hot water and soak the spoon in it. It will make the spoon hot enough to cut through the icecream fairly easily. Same goes with butter. If you are the kind of person who regularly drinks soft drinks, STOP. Seriously. You are supposed to drink them because they taste good, yes? But after a while you stop paying attention to that and actually drink them because you are thirsty. Then you don't really appreciate the taste, do you. Start drinking water instead, and then if you want to chill out get a soft drink when you are no longer thirsty, and instead have it for the pleasure of it being sweet. And if you need caffeine to stay up, I recommend tea. It's healthy and effective, and doesn't fuck with you as much as coffee does. From what I've seen. Install AdBlock. You can find it here: + Show Spoiler [Chrome] + + Show Spoiler [Firefox] + And if you're not using one of those two browsers, get one. Really. Catch up with the rest of the internet. ALTHOUGH there is this thang called SRWare Iron which is pretty much chrome although less data is sent from your browser. So it's for people who fear Google. + Show Spoiler [Link to download] + | ||

Stop buying packets for crying out loud. Buy rolling paper, filters (if you bother spending that 1euro that will save your lungs all kinds of misery) and tobacco. Watch a youtube video on how to roll a ciggerete by hand and start doing it. I learned how to make good looking ciggaretes after 1 day of rolling. First they will look like a mess but be smokable. The more you roll the better they will look/smoke. Remember, its an art to roll. I buy raw tobacco that costs 5 euros, that lasts me for like 2months, and I smoke a lot. You probably wont find that cheap tobacco in shops tho, they might cost 10euros depending on brand and shop. Im poor, I have no income, I smoke a lot. This has saved my life because now I can afford food. | ||

"what kind of weird porn is he looking at? is it weirder than 2 girls 1 cup? because that's in his history" no, I'd rather have people be able to see exactly what kind of porn I've been looking at. I have nothing to hide. | ||

& When you meet new people, ask 3 questions for every 1 that you answer. People love talking about themselves and are more inclined to connect with you after a 5-10 minute period. This is invaluable in making new friendships, doing business, or having a meaningful network. | ||

Cut your toe nails right after a shower. The nails are realy soft then and verry easy to cut nicely. Vinegar also helps against nettles ! (beside insect bites) | ||
