Also, back to the subject of cursive handwriting, how do the non-cursive people write their signatures? I am envisioning it like big, awkward block letters like a 1st grader.... and I was going to say "That would look stupid to sign a mortgage that way" but then I realized that like very few millennials will ever be competent enough to see mortgage papers. Maybe the answer is that none of them will ever do anything important enough to need a signature.

They come up with their own "mark" and that's what they leave instead of a signature.

I forget who posted this but thank you it identifies all the obnoxious things that I couldn't put my finger on, and also cured me of this weird desire to go to an expensive restaurant with contemporary decor every weekend. The guy needs to lay off the quotation marks though, goddamn.

I'm just glad I never made an Instagram account and never will. One time I went to an expensive burger place with some friends and once our food arrived everyone at the table but me whipped out their phones—I was stunned. It's like hoarding but for memories of things you spent money on instead of the things themselves.

Oh right, .jpg

quote:

If You Use Periods When Texting, You Might Be Coming Off Like A Jerk

Their research method was pretty straightforward; they had their subjects read a series of texts, each of which were a question and a one-word answer. Think along the lines of texting somebody to ask if they want to split a pizza. The responses that didn’t end with anything were rated as far more sincere than those using the right punctuation, so, at least for 126 college students, proper punctuation is a sign of rudeness. If you were wondering, an exclamation point sounds really sincere over text, and this doesn’t hold true of handwritten notes; the same study found that there’s no effect on perception if you use a period when jotting something down for a friend.

Thick, crisp lettuce is okay, but if you're going to put shredded lettuce on your burger you might as well just save yourself the time and throw it in the toilet, seeing as it'd be redundant to re-poo poo a turd

Writing with pen and paper is fun and having good cursive handwriting is a good skill that most people respect. Its practical too. Taking notes by hand helps with information retention and sending an honest to god hand written letter to friends and family will make them genuinely happy. If you don't feel happier after finding a letter from somebody you care about amidst the torrent of junk mail that fills your mailbox then there is something broken in you. Writing in a physical rather than electronic journal is another good thing to do. Keeping a journal while traveling or just day to day gives you something valuable to look back on later in life. Writing instruments are cool too. Fountain pens in particular are stylish and make a good impression on others in much the same way a high quality watch does.

Also, whats with the burger purists in here? Part of the joy of burgers is the endless variety of toppings.

I wish I could look down on the oily, tattoo'd hipsters in the pictures here but their type are some of the only generally happy people I know. So maybe there is something to be said for whatever the hell it is they're doing. Probably has something to do with them developing a sense of community and belonging rather than the cynical isolation that nerdy mooks like me exist with.

Stating something subjective as a fact is a surprisingly effective way to diminish anyone else's opinions. Expressing opinions as concise, clear facts, then following that with some sort of health or financial benefit dissuades a conversation even further. An honest to god terrible opinion can be made to sound as if deserving respect. Suggesting disagreement with your statement implies ignorance work well too. If you don't feel better after stating some opinion you have as fact, then there is something broken in you.

What about a good choice of fine hat? Fedora for example. Does wearing a fedora whilst utilizing a fountain pen exponentially increase the good impression if I'm seen writing a check in public utilizing both these stylish items?

The only people who notice high quality watches are people who want to tell you about their watch, at length, at the worst possible time.

The only impression a fountain pen creates is 'try hard'.
