doesn't that mean you're lowering your expected lifespan??

Ooh, idea.
Wait until you're 80 to have a mid life crisis, live until 160, ???, profit.
[QUOTE=RusselG;40921245]doesn't that mean you're lowering your expected lifespan??[/QUOTE]
People do things adventurous during a midlife crisis because they realize that their life is "half over" and they haven't done half the things they wanted always to do.
The key is to realize life is fairly short, even at an average of 75 years and it's best to do such things you've always wanted to do as soon as you can.

Don't be afraid to be tutored on subjects, just because you're being tutored doesn't mean you're fool. Some people learn differently and sometimes the teacher is the problem.

When you're driving a car, don't drive into any people. It's mean.
If you're not on a toilet, don't do a poo. It's unpleasant.
If you or someone you know has just had a baby, and you're holding it on the 5th floor of the hospital, really fight the urge to throw it out the window. It leaves a mess that someone else has to clear up.
Never vote for the Conservative party of any country.
Always pay attention to "best before" and "use by" labels. A lot of people confuse them as being the same thing.
- Best before means something is made to taste better before that day and afterwards the taste may deteriorate
- Use by means the product shouldn't be consumed after the date you run the risk of food poisoning or similar health risks.
- If stored right sugary snacks can last very long after their rated best before date.
- The expiration date on most soda's is just when they'll go flat. You can still consume it past that date but the taste will be rather nasty.

Long ago, on this very website, i was told that playing Max Payne 3 was an excellent cure for depression.
Today i realize that it is very true. Give it a go some time.

Never make eye contact when talking to someone, they will assume that you are challenging their dominance and treat you accordingly. I found that out the hard way.

This is why I look people dead in the eye even when I'm not talking to them.

I've made that a goal of mine. It's so funny when I see them break first.

would rather deal with the occasional asshole every now and again than look like a total wimp staring at the ground when people talk to me
truly not meaning to come off as a dick here but man up

rubbish. As long as you don't stare into their soul like a psychopath, eye contact is perfectly normal while talking.

You don't stare at the ground, that would be rude. Obviously, look at people when you speak with them, that's just common courtesy. Just not the eyes.

looking a person in the eyes when you talk to them, when paired with a friendly smile, is a show of friendliness, confidence and sincerity.
if someone got angry with you over simple eye contact then the most likely possiblities are:
1. you looked at them wrong
2. they've got issues
honestly mate, from now on always try to look people in the eyes when you speak to them.
nine times out of ten it'll do you more good than harm
this tip is for the under 16 crowd on facepunch:
i know you really cant wait to turn 16 so you can get a job and get money to buy things, but don't get that job.
when you get a job you will become too tired and not have enough time to spend the money you make.
enjoy your free time while it lasts. don't get a job until your parents tell you to, or if you need to start saving up for college.
after all, whats the point of getting money if you can't spend it
-snip, broke my automerge-
Eventually, everything is funny. Comedy = tragedy + time.
Did you fuck up something big today? In a little while you'll look back and go "shit that was funny"

In addition, laugh everything off. Everything is [i]miles[/i] better when you learn to laugh at yourself.
Know when to take things seriously, though. If you can't be serious when you need to be, nobody will give you responsibility.

Enjoy your life of debt, cheap apartments in bad neighborhoods and living paycheck to paycheck.
[QUOTE=153x;40930779]Eventually, everything is funny. Comedy = tragedy + time.[/QUOTE]
on the contrary i think the comedy formula is: comedy = tragedy < time
the more time has passed the less the tragedy effects people once you pass the time based on the size of the tragedy it becomes funny.
example: boston bombing was a pretty bad event, but not that bad. it wasn't acceptable to say the race ending was a blast until maybe a week after.
wheras 9/11 wasn't funny until maybe a couple of years later.
