  • I found this one.

    1. Assume interesting shapes

    Hard to understand geometry can inspire curiosity. Intrigue her by adding more complexity to your configuration!

    2. Playfully interact with her as different people

    Hate to break it to you, guys, but not having a personality isn’t going to impress anyone. What will impress a lot of people is having 7, 8 or 9 different personalities that come and go as the mood changes.

    3. Get close!

    Close bonds often reflect a close geography, so try to be in the same room she’s in as much as possible. If she wanders into the kitchen for a soda, wander in yourself to wash your hands. If she’s talking to a friend in the hallway, talk to a different friend in the same hallway.

    4. Be funny

    Comedy can be extrapolated from this base formula:

    P = ¬P

    Such an expression being true would require the dissolution of all fundamental axioms of logic and reason, and is therefore funny. Try explaining this to her.

    5. Be mysterious

    Nothing is more sexy than a masked man of mystery. Show her how mysterious you are by playing ominous sounds while describing a job you don’t know you have, and people you don’t remember speaking to!

    6. Be

    The best way to make yourself available to a woman is to have an existential presence in our natural world.

    7. Share the things you have in common

    Impress her by ovulating with her!

    8. Don’t be afraid to be saucy

    Demonstrate your wild side by flopping about or rubbing against nearby objects and furniture.

    But don’t get carried away. Being too floppy can be off-putting. Try to match her level of floppiness.

    9. Gifts make the heart grow fonder

    Gifts are a great way to establish a connection and to show how much you care. Try giving her the gift of self-love, or the depth of pure sadness. You could also teach her to be less co-dependent!

    10. Try MDMA!

    Ecstacy looks really weird in movies. This could be a great way to experience something new together!















  • Well, firstly, because I did think for a moment you were going to start defending tobacco companies—that would have been wild. Thanks for not doing that, I guess.

    But secondly, because there is nothing actually wrong with this word choice. Like, this is kind of a literacy issue: smuggling is more than just moving physical goods, it is to sneak them across lines and borders maintained by authorities. The advertisement here is the good being smuggled; it’s a perfectly apt metaphor. The implication is either that regulators don’t know this is happening, or are by some technicality unable to do anything about it.

    Broadly, this is related to arguments I’ve had with people about whether ‘genocide’ is an appropriate term for what the US is or wanted to start doing. And, what do you know, we now have our first internment camp. I’ll pause for applause; you gotta love an achievement.

    Hell, I remember arguments about whether Isreal was technically committing a genocide. They are doing that. People were just calling it ahead of time.

    I desperately want to see people stop particulating over the details of at best mildly incorrect word choice. This is a kind of anti-intellectual behavior. It’s refusing to see a metaphor, or even a perfect application, for what it is. You actually work against positive forces by constantly dragging the discussion down.


    Anyway, sorry for the long post. I just thought thoroughly explaining would be better than going back and forth 17 more times.
