Ooo that’s a great one! Helping someone else makes me feel good basically 100% of the times i do it. And it doesn’t even have to be a major help, or even a moderate help, just helping someone in a minor way gives me a good feeling.

Bike ride outdoors. Stationary bike doesn’t boost mood for me, only actually biking through space does it.

Most people don’t consciously think about these things very often at all. Generally there’s only a very occasional sudden realization that you’ve been starting at a person’s eyes for a bit too long and so look away for a moment. But really this is only a very very occasional thing. We almost never consciously think “ok where should i point my eyes now?”

Or at least that’s how it is for me. I guess I’m assuming that’s how it is for most people too.

(Not an insult) i assume you’re autistic or have some autistic traits, so maybe people in the autism forums could help too.

Generally you can look at anything and everything you want to look at, but just don’t do it for more than a few seconds in a row.

Like for example if there’s two of you at a table and you’re having a conservation then it would go something like this. look in you tablemate’s eyes for 3-5 seconds, then look at your plate for a few seconds while you’re using your utensils on your food, then look in your tablemate’s eyes for another 3-5 seconds, then look at the wall decor for a few seconds, then back at your tablemate’s eyes for a few seconds, then back on your plate to look at what you’re eating for a few seconds, then back to your tablemate’s eyes again for a few seconds. Now that i talk it out, i think it’s right for about every other look to be at your tablemate’s eyes.

Basically it’s the same as any situation where you’re having a conversation with someone. Look at their eyes for a few seconds, then look at something else for a couple seconds, then look back at their eyes again for a few seconds.

Holy fucking shit literally laughing out loud over here!!!

Dude you just aren’t discerning enough to be able to appreciate the complexities and subtleties of a truly artistic song like that

Oh i absolutely boost my own comments because it’s bizarre that it isn’t done automatically like every other site with voting in existence does. What i don’t do is use an alt account to boost it a second time

Dude you’re grasping at straws. I’m sure you think you’re a genius, but you’re not. You’re wrong about this, but nothing anyone says could ever convince you if it.

Bzzzt. Incorrect

THE /S IS ALWAYS NECESSARY

I don’t know how anyone could live through the last decade and not see how important it is to denote when you’re being sarcastic. “It ruins the joke” is preferable over it ruins society. Without the S idiots will read what you wrote and think there’s people out there who actually support their idiotic ideas

You clearly never checked, because it’s a name used for both genders

I don’t know, but Trump is the one who said that. He went on a long screed about how Mexicans who are crossing the border are criminals and rapists and drug dealers, and then at the very end of the rant he quietly threw in “and some, I assume, are good people”

3 human drivers 24/7 would be too expensive. And suburb subdivisions are perfect for autonomous systems, it’s a very unchanging route with rarely any other people or cars on the road and the speed limit is already capped at a very low number

They already exist

I wonder if this might be a situation where autonomous vehicles could really solve a problem. Like if there were like 2 or 3 minivan size vehicles that you could summon to ferry you from your house to the nearest real bus stop. The vehicle would only have to go like 20 miles an hour to make it safe for pedestrians and be compellingly worthwhile to make people take the bus instead of drive

Just torrent the music you want

Godfather. Omg so boring. I fell asleep every time i tried to watch it

Nah it’s fine as long as it’s all upfront. Personally i don’t mind doing a couple of simple quick chores -which i would like to be sure of before renting, and i know that some people don’t want to do any chores -which you should be allowed to filter out those listing. Everyone wins except the scamy userous airbnb hosts.

They need a rule making the chore list part of the listing.

Yup, knock on wood, I’ve had lots of Seagate drives over the decades and I’ve never had any of them go bad. I’ve had two WD drives and they both failed
