No they haven't. Thanks for asking.

Per some of the comments above - add urgency, being in / not being in control, exertion are all part of it.

Finishing a half marathon

Attending a concert with 20k other people and singing one of my favourite songs at the top of my lungs

The 30 to 40 seconds after my first experience scuba diving

Surfing, believe it or not. - the feeling of being picked up and pushed forward at the same time, then being in control / out of control and elated at the same time

Dancing in darkness to uplifting music, sometimes even exercising in the dark

Riding downhill trails in the dark (wirh headlight of course)

Plastic straws, clothes pegs, bottle caps, bottle rings.

It's a bower bird performance centre. Quite literally. They make an area where they can perform for a mate.

They like the colour blue so collect heaps of blue things and decorate their bower with them.

This one has got a bunch of milk bottle caps, milk bottle cap rings, blue plastic straws and what look like pegs.

It sounds funny till you think about stuff that humans do for exactly the same reason (to be "interesting" to a prospective partner)

Bingo. I think that's the key to it - if you do it with the intent of getting something from someone, people will work that out pretty quickly and resent it. It comes over as being...greasy.

If it's done from the perspective of having genuine interest, care and empathy it makes it easier to work as a group.

Yep. There's people that want to keep distance at work and don't appreciate it. Just have to respect that and leave them to it.

Not the most manipulative but

Keep a log of the birthdays, hobbies and names of spouses and children of colleagues, managers, team members and customers.

I learnt this from a guy who did executive search. People remember you, when you remember what is important to them.

When I've lead teams it's one of the first things I find out - note down when someone says "yeah Gary that's my hubby, he's super into gaming"

• Gary (husband.)
• likes gaming

When you're a manager, your teams families, partners and friends know your name. Reciprocating that - learning who is important to them - is really important.

I honestly don't know. Maybe a carry over from print journalism?

Yes

However without experiencing the previous version of bad there isn't a frame of reference, so whatever bad experience is now is the bad experience

Guys....

Take a deep breath

Be thankful for what you have

Be compassionate for others sharing the same experiences

You will feel better.

It is that simple.

Why?

becoming an officer in the salvation army requires signing documentation. Likewise ministers need to be ordained.

So maybe expand the definition of regulation to include public institutions which have defined rules or codes of conducts. Leaving out the clanging irony of the multitude of crimes committed through organised religion.

Journalists is a weird one. I think back in the day it would have been that they trade on their public reputation. Less so now when I can start up a blog on college sports and call myself an investigative journalist.

Certification, regulation, proof of identity, of public note or public record..

Basically - you are known and can be found.

This is very much how I feel in leadership

But why are they still talking about in in 2100 in the comic? I don't get whether it's shitting on the Bernie supporters for not moving on, or taking the piss out of the democratic party not getting its shit together.

Oh wow

I am conflicted, halfway between genuine concern for you as a human being and being completely unsurprised at six paras of unhinged ramblings.

Suffice to say - this only exists in your head, and there's a reason you're finding it hard to build meaningful relationships.

Good luck, I hope you feel better soon.

Swing and a miss mate, can't threaten me with a good time.

I live in Australia, voting is compulsory, women don't have to withhold sex in order to foment political change.

You didn't answer my question tho, what's stopping you from understanding why young men in the us voted for trump? Especially young men who would "normally" vote democrat?

extremely effective form of protest

...i honestly dont think it's going to achieve anything and it certainly won't undo the election result

I mean you could go the opposite route and do a FWB style approach to votes in the next election. If withholding sex is the stick, what's the carrot? Offering sex?

A decent proportion of votes for trump were protest votes and a disproportionate amount were young men. Why not invest the effort in understanding why it is they feel that the Republican party offers them something that the democratic party does not?

Gr8 b8 m8

This one's low hanging fruit tho, need to try a bit harder

Hot take bruh
