6 Habits That Make Others Like You

Have you ever wondered what makes people light up the room?

Is it their charming good looks? Their sense of humor? Or something else entirely?

Your likability can be perceived differently across people. While you can’t be liked by everyone all the time, there are a few subtle things you can do to make people feel more open and warm towards you.

Here are these six habits!

1. Spend time with them

To get people to like you, you have to do much more than watching them from afar!

Spend time and find common ground with the person you’d like to know. Ask your classmates if they’d want to hang out after school, or chat with a coworker during your coffee break. This reinforces what is known as the familiarity principle—or the attraction we get towards people and objects that we see more repeatedly.

2. You own your flaws

Relive the Trauma of the Evangelion Anime Films before 3.0+1.0 Releases in Digest Video.

With 8 years since the release of the last film in the Evangelion anime film series, Evangelion 3.33, Studio Khara on February 8 was kind enough to release a digest video recapping the first three films in the tetralogy, reminding you of all the sweet moments between Kaworu and Shinji.

This is, of course, to get you up to speed before the release of Evangelion 3.0+1.0, the fourth film on June 27. The digest video was edited by director Hideaki Anno and was initially released as part of Operation 0706 in 2019.

if you read in a frog paper “specimen was released in the field immediately after capture” chances are very good that what it actually means is

“i dropped the damn frog and despite the fact that we fell all over each other no one could recapture it”

[blueelectricangels]

sometimes when i am sad i go read through the tags on this post, because they are 70% other biologists saying things like “AND ALSO FUCK FIELD MICE” and “THAT CRAB ALMOST BROKE MY FINGER” and I am reassured that I am not the only one who has bobbled a wood frog right into their cleavage.

plus six or seven people who just….can’t figure out what a frog paper could possibly be. (guys it’s…a scientific paper. about frogs.)

and this one

which made me laugh despairingly because i mean

bro you don’t even know.

[jumpingjacktrash]

what is the code entomologists use for “i stepped on it, i’m so sorry, it was dark out and the specimen was very small”

“Impromptu dissection was performed under less-than-optimal lighting conditions.”

‘impromptu dissection’ is an alarming phrase in any context and i thank you for it

Expanding this, NASA has a few gems from their report language:

“Underwent unplanned rapid disassembly” – it exploded, and it wasn’t an explosion we wanted to happen

“Lithobraking maneuver” – it stopped because it hit the goddamned ground.

“Engine-rich exhaust” – the engine bell melted or evaporated, or the engine ejected itself out the back of the rocket without having a very good reason to do so.

“Fishing orbit” – the craft is in the ocean instead of space and we didn’t mean to put it there

“Thrust was observed along an undesired vector” – the engine leaked and the rocket spun off into oblivion.

“Wearing his manager hat” – a moron who shouldn’t be an engineer (a reference to the infamous quote “take off your engineer hat and put on your manager hat” in the meeting in which the Challenger was cleared for launch)

“Received an unrequested transfer” – he’s dead.

GREAT TRUTHS

The Thruth never changes.   1. In my many years I have come to a    conclusion that one useless man    is a shame, two is a law firm,    and three or more is a congress.    – John Adams   2. If you don’t read the newspaper    you are uninformed, if you do    read the newspaper you are    misinformed. – Mark Twain   3. Suppose you were an idiot. And    suppose you were a member of    Congress. But then I repeat    myself. – Mark Twain   4. I contend that for a nation to try to    tax itself into prosperity is like a    man standing in a bucket and    trying to lift himself up by the    handle. –Winston Churchill   5. A government which robs Peter to    pay Paul can always depend on    the support of Paul. – George    Bernard Shaw   6. A liberal is someone who feels a    great debt to his fellow man,    which debt he proposes to pay off    with your money. – G. Gordon    Liddy   7. Democracy must be something    more than two wolves and a sheep    voting on what to have for    dinner. –James Bovard,  Civil     Libertarian (1994)   8. Foreign aid might be defined as a    transfer of money from poor    people in rich countries to rich    people in poor countries.    – Douglas Case,    Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University .   9. Giving money and power to    government is like giving whiskey    and car keys to teenage boys.    – P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian   10. Government is the great fiction,      through which everybody      endeavors to live at the expense      of everybody else. – Frederic      Bastiat , French economist(1801-1850)   11. Government’s view of the      economy could be summed up      in a few short phrases: If it      moves, tax it.  If it keeps      moving, regulate it. And if it      stops moving, subsidize it.      –Ronald Reagan (1986)   12. I don’t make jokes. I just watch      the government and report the      facts. – Will Rogers   13. If you think health care is      expensive now, wait until you      see what it costs when it’s free!      – P. J. O'Rourke   14. In general, the art of government      consists of taking as much      money as possible from one      party of the citizens to give to      the other. –Voltaire (1764)   15. Just because you do not take an      interest in politics doesn’t mean      politics won’t take an interest      in you! – Pericles (430 B.C.)   16. No man’s life, liberty, or      property is safe while the      legislature is in session.      – Mark Twain (1866)   17. Talk is cheap, except when      Congress does it. – Anonymous   18. The government is like a baby’s      alimentary canal, with a happy      appetite at one end and no      responsibility at the other.      – Ronald Reagan   19. The inherent vice of capitalism is      the unequal sharing of the      blessings. The inherent blessing      of socialism is the equal sharing      of misery. – Winston Churchill   20. The only difference between a      tax man and a taxidermist is that      the taxidermist leaves the skin.      – Mark Twain   21. The ultimate result of shielding      men from the effects of folly is      to fill the world with fools.      – Herbert Spencer, English            Philosopher (1820-1903)   22. There is no distinctly Native      American criminal class, save      Congress. – Mark Twain   23. What this country needs are      more unemployed politicians      –Edward Langley,            Artist (1928-1995)   24. A government big enough to give      you everything you want, is      strong enough to take everything      you have.  – Thomas Jefferson   25. We hang the petty thieves and      appoint the great ones to public     office. – Aesop   FIVE BEST SENTENCES   1. You cannot legislate the poor into    prosperity, by legislating the    wealthy out of prosperity.   2. What one person receives without    working for, another person must    work for without receiving.   3. The government cannot give to    anybody anything that the    government does not first take    from somebody else.   4. You cannot multiply wealth by    dividing it.   5. When half of the people get the    idea that they do not have to    work, because the other half is    going to take care of them, and    when the other half gets the idea    that it does no good to work    because somebody else is going to    get what they work for, that is the    beginning of the end of any nation!

What did the roomba do?

Tried to eat my fucking sock

if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in the midwest, this is it. 

[jasperzilla]

You missed some of the best ones

[dragonastra]

the best part about it is that the art installation isn’t actually called the Bean. It’s called Cloud Gate, and artist Anish Kapoor (yes, THAT Anish Kapoor) hates that we call it the Bean.

But i mean, look at it. It’s a bean.

[vashthestampedee]

How could you forget this one though

[akamine-chan]

I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA THAT THE BEAN WAS CREATED BY ANISH KAPOOR.

[solongstarbird]

someone help me why is anish kapoor important what did he do?

[gay-jesus-probably]

Alright sit down for some Art World Drama bcause this is what I live for.

So, sometime last year (?) science invented Vantablack, which is the darkest possible shade of black. Art world got incredibly excited. But as it needs to be very carefully made in a lab, it’s hard to get a hold of, and is extremely expensive. Enter Anish Kapoor, aka FuckFace McGee. Anish Kapoor buys the rights to Vantablack. He is the only human being on the planet that can legally use it, and he’s kind of a prick about it.

Art world is not thrilled with that.

Enter Stuart Semple.

Stuart Semple is an artist, and also makes pigments to sell in his free time. Stuart Semple is astoundingly pissed about this Vantablack nonsense, and Anish Kapoor’s dickery. Stuart Semple makes a new pigment, the brightest shade of pink ever, called Pinkest Pink, and puts it for sale on the internet. To be bought by everybody except Anish Kapoor. Literally, to purchase, you need to confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, do not associate with him, and will not sell or give the pigment to Anish Kapoor or his associates. Art world has a good laugh, everyone buys Pinkest Pink because it’s awesome, and damn it we deserve something.

Anish Kapoor however is a penis, and will not take this lying down, because HOW DARE he not have literally everything.

Anish Kapoor gets his London associates to buy him a thing of Pinkest Pink, and being such a classy human being, posts a picture to instagram of him with his middle finger covered in Pinkest Pink, captioned with “Up yours. #pink”

Everyone flips shit, because. Y’know. Fuck that guy. Especially Stuart Semple. For context here, Anish Kapoor is one of the richest artists on the planet, and has repeatedly been referred to as everything wrong with the art world, and the epitome of the art worlds elitism problem. He’s a giant douchebag. Meanwhile Stuart Semple makes pigments just to get them out there. He turns 0 profit from his now enourmously popular pigments.

Stuart Semple launches an investigation as to who the fuck leaked Pinkest Pink, and plans to strike back. He does so by releasing two new products. First is Diamond Dust, which is a glitter made from glass, so that a painting is still visible after it’s applied, but glitters like a mofo. It’s the most reflective glitter out there, and is available to everyone who isn’t Anish Kapoor. And it being made of glass, if you stick your finger in there, it’s going to hurt quite a bit, so that was Stuart Semple’s way of saying “shove your middle finger in this, asshole, see what happens”. Except without saying that, because he can get an insult across while still being fucking classy.

He also releases Black 2.0, created with the help of over a thousand artists worldwide.

Black 2.0 is the answer to Vantablack. Black 2.0 is a slightly less black black, but looks functionally the same to the human eye. It’s completely safe, smells like cherries, and costs four pounds. Vantablack is highly toxic, potentially explosive, needs to be applied in a special laboratory and sealed properly, can’t be moved across borders, can reach 300 degrees celsius if you’re not extremely careful, and costs thousands of dollars. Anish Kapoor is the only human being who can use Vantablack. He is the only human being who cannot use Black 2.0.

So I think we can guess who got the better deal.

And thus the feud ends, Kapoor defeated.

…But not quite.

Kapoor, in this entire afair, has made exactly two comments to the public. The first being his charming message about aquiring Pinkest Pink, the second being claiming to Buzzfeed that he and his small army of lawyers will be suing Semple, an extremely poor artist who cannot afford a lawyer.

No lawsuit has been made yet, fyi.

The point is, Kapoor is a prick, and doesn’t like talking to the lower classes. So one day in July 2017, he decides he needs another floor on his London studio apartment, and starts making arrangements to have it built. His neighbors are fucking pissed, because this will ruin the light of their apartments. They call to Semple to save them, or at the very least piss Kapoor off some more.

Semple answers to the call, and releases two new paints, Phaze and Shift, as always, banned to Kapoor. They change colours, Phaze with temperature, and Shift is just iridescent. Shift needs to be painted over Black 2.0 to work, and Phaze just works on its own.

So that’s been the art world for the last two years.

Basically, get fucked Anish Kapoor your bean sucks and so does your vantablack.

[todayiwrotenothing]

Stuart Semple is organising a bean-kissing event for Anish Kapoor’s birthday.

[secretsfromwholecloth]

Reblogging for “By attending this event you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, you are in no way affiliated with Anish Kapoor, you are not attending on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. To the best of your knowledge, information, and belief this event will not be attended by Anish Kapoor.”

ALSO HE JUST POSTED THIS!!!!!! LIGHTEST LIGHT!

I know this isn’t my art blog but this entire post gives me life

im sorry is that man holding a real actual miniature star in his hands

[cat-vee-deactivated20240417]

Y’all missed the best part about the lightest light, called aptly ‘Lit’. This is from their product page:

[claydart]

Two things:

1. “Anish Kapoor is however a penis” is the best line in this post.

2. I wish to be half as petty and half as awesome as Stuart Semple

[speckled-light]

I hope Stuart Semple is making a lot of money. What a good person.

[0-memento-mori-0]

Go support him the paint’s are pretty cheap and you get the added bonus of being one of many to help piss off Anish Kapoor

[theresagooseinthemainframe]

He is my fucking role model for pettiness oh my god

[politicalcdnmama]

It got better! I’m also excited because he just released biodegradable glitter in non plastic containers! How amazing is that?! Stuart Semple, good guy for the planet and artists, fighter against the rich elite artist like asshole Kapoor.

This fake yarn is supposedly better for sheep.

Aimed at people who don’t know where wool comes from, it’s 100% plastic. Yes, plastic.

So any garment you wash will release microfibres into the sea. It’ll never decompose.

You’re supposed to believe that sheep shearing is violent and cruel. There are imbeciles out there that work in an unprofessional manner while shearing, but that’s not the case overall.

Sheep don’t suffer from having their fleece removed.

Left on, the fleece can become a home for fly eggs and the subsequent maggots which can eat the sheep. Chemical treatments are available to prevent that happening. It’s much better for the sheep, the land and the farmer to avoid chemical use.

Don’t be fooled. Wool is a sustainable material, one we should make more and better use of.
