@A.W.E.S.O.M.-O: A lot of people look away because they are afraid, but the funny thing about avoiding eye contact, it does the opposite of protecting you. If you look away, it attracts predators, while if you look, they stay away. In addition, if you look, you can often judge intent.

@Talthybius: You can't hack people, but you can hack yourself. It's counter-intuitive, but if you behave in a certain way, you will find yourself feeling that way to. Act confidently, and you will find that you actually feel more confident than you did before. Act interested, and you'll discover that you actually…

@Chris Jones: That's why the quick eye contact in the street is so good. It gets you in practice.

@jchen1: Who do you think is going to pay down the debt?

@jchen1: We're broke because of tax cuts. Those tax cuts are theft from the next generation, because the same people who passed them didn't cut back on spending to match, in fact, they increased it.

@TheFu: Banks aren't short of funds to lend. People are short of money to spend, and that's why the banks aren't lending. You wouldn't spend $90K to capture $10K in revenue unless you failed Econ 101.

@jchen1: the tax cuts are not "giving" money to anyone.

@michaelgibbons: Buying beer makes jobs. Liquor store clerk, delivery driver, warehouse worker, trucker, brewers, farmers. That $100K dropped on beer would do a lot more for the economy than $100K in the bank.

@Pucksr: Many people have the same thought. It's generally referred to as the prosperity gospel, because the people who start those little churches become very prosperous.

Mark Cuban has credit card debt he can't pay off? Either he's an idiot or a liar.

@seanpat12: xackly. The problem isn't the caffeine, it's how much alcoh0l there is in that can. A six-pack for $2.50? That's just begging for kids to die.

Reminds me of when my little brother took notes on an acid trip. He got about half an hour into it before he forgot about the project, but that half hour was pretty funny.

I find that a discreetly wielded key can get the same message across in a much more effective way. People who park like assholes aren't going to care if you point out that they are assholes, they're going to say (see below) "I have to protect my luxury car!"

@404notfound: I like trackpads. I tend to have a very cluttered desk, and prefer to sit the trackpad on my knee and operate it with a finger. The only place I find it has a disadvantage is in gaming, since the buttons aren't quickly available. But I don't PC game.

@Ydnam: Stan Lee's superpower is the ability to whore himself out, and yet still be lovable.

@kelz: ...if by "kicking ass" you mean "blowing the case badly."

@perry05: I'm trying to think how gas ovens have their burners laid out...if they let grease drip from the oven chamber onto the burners, they must keep you guys busy on more than just Thanksgiving.

@wastedlife: Awwww, ma! You never let me do anything fun.

@Kenro199x: Fans should be thanking whatever god or giant spaghetti monster deity in they sky that he even bothered to do a HULK movie...even if he did a crap job of it...

I use turkey in a basic coq au vin recipe, bring it to a boil on the stove then leave it in the oven at 200 for six hours overnight...amazingly, no one has ever died from it. Go figure.
