License? To write for a tabloid? Is that such a thing that exists? Who'd even regulate that? Other tabloids?

This is britain, im sure theyve got a bueau set up just for that.

Sooo, ahhh.


Decided to try finding girls though social networks, in part because I figured it couldnt hurt.

Turns out its not nearly as painful as it could be.  I guess, provided you look decent and/or have a decent job and/or good pics of you not being a creeper.

Ive had several actual people (and a few suspected bots) find their way into my phone's notification box.  Its only been like 3-4 days now.

- Teacher from Italy visitng her fam.
- Holy shit hot manager lady Im afraid to even talk to over text.
- Financial planner ladty from Jersey who even made the first move (suggesting she pays the site for extra benefits (such as knowing who 'liked' her))
- chunky gals who look pretty and have good solid jobs (and are 25-33)

- Some clearly whorish gals (and guys on the other side of that too, I assume)
- depending on the specific app (I've tried 2) they get ritzy or trashy.  On tinder most of them seem to have law degrees and travel the world as often as I shampoo my hair.
- plenty, absolute truckloads of young ladies that I filter out
- And many looking for a temporary if not extended relationship

am impressed.  And also not paying money to enhance the experience, even though it appears that what they offer for money would improve the experience.


I even saw an old high school 'popular girl' on it.  She's a fitchick now, and unmarried afaict from facebook.  But we go way back to 6th grade.

Welp, that pretty much disqualifies me.

Was playing a gamebook online, and there's a section that says "select a random number from the table. If x, y, and z skills added together equal 9 or more, add 2 to your random number."

The thing is, though, that these abilities all start at 3, so will always equal at least 9.

So... it's a bonus to anyone who actually reads the instructions and fine print?

Well it's a bonus to everyone, so it's a redundant thing to add in.

It did take me 'til playing it a few times before I realised it, though.

One lightswitch controls nothing, we checked exhaustively.  Another controls the dishwasher.  The kitchen ceiling lamp seemed powerless, until we looked behind the refrigerator.
Another controls a power socket across the room, but that mostly makes sense...  Though they did place it between two ceiling-light-switches.

The switch in my room controls a power plug, fine.  Leaving the ceiling lamp uncontrolled except by cord...  And the controlled power plug is a 6-plug, and by far the best location for my computer.  Controlled by a switch right as you walk in the door.  Fine.  Fine.

We just need some duct tape and post-its...

An Aussie guy died after falling through a wood-chipping machine. The only thing more horrific than that would be not dying after falling through a wood-chipping machine ... think about it.

i dont want to

[Egan_BW]

Jeez it actually happened. That was supposed to be a figure of speech.

[pisskop]

just take a few smiling selfies with a phone camera.  then get somebody to take a picture of you standing by a nice park or cool looking building.  and smiling like you're friends.

then a pic of the target gender and you in casual embrace.  like you have experience with being friends but could have more.

confidence seems to be the key.  you see girls without confidence?  a lot seem to come out with lines such as 'honk if you use this on the toilet', 'looking for the real thing', and posting the same old pose in different clothing up 6 times.

... that sounds a fair bit like whoever did the wiring thought they were meant to "do" it more in a fornicative sense than functional. Totally explains the one that does nothing, even, as that would be the one that finally shocked sense into them by way of electric groin infusion.

Can only guess hope it was DIY rather than someone actually hired, heh.
