Yeah I know about that. It should be default though.
I never keep my cookies, they clear every time I close my browser. And I usually browse any social site in private mode anyway.

You're just trapping yourself for no reason. Stop taking social matters so seriously, only then do they usually start falling together.
Yep. And once you start not caring so much, you are more confident (obviously), and people don't treat you the same way.
Perfect example. Foreign girl was barely talking to me, didn't smile like she did at first etc. I talked to her today and she was happy and talking and laughing like normal people do.
I've been wondering recently why I basically haven't talked to anyone in Uni (just a few short conversations) and people seem to dislike me, and I realised yesterday or the day before that it's because I lost my confidence (due to all that shit which is irrelevant to this discussion). I only know one person's name, I didn't introduce myself to anyone besides the teachers and nobody knows my name.
If you haven't even introduced yourself and talked just a tiny little bit, people are not going to care about you. It's obvious when you think about it; they don't know you at all.
Also don't get disheartened if you do this and some people still don't like you.
Another example, I talked to this other person in another class and she seemed like she was kinda wierded out.
And yeah, that's what made me realise, I didn't even tell her my name. I don't know her name. So when we started talking about classes and other stuff, it creates a weird feeling.
If you are happy and approachable, 70% (estimate based on experience) of people will trust you immediately, and will like you.
If you're awkward or whatever, it's irrelevant. Play off of it and just be weird! People will like you and trust you.
This doesn't mean you're good friends, people are just very trusting in general, and like to talk to other people.
You make friends by whittling down the previously mentioned people. Once you talk more, you either realise they aren't your type of person, or you aren't theirs, or whatever. Remember that, it's important.

@tommo - I looked for your previous post about this in meta, and didn't find it. Could you please point me to it?
Also, not fair to say that we ignore things. Every meta thread is read and replied to . Whats fixable on-site, we fix. Such as your previous request to be able to include more than 1 video per post. What's not fixable on-site, maybe you guys have noticed that that's Swakes territory.
Can't really be bothered to find it right now, tbh. It doesn't really matter, sorry if I sounded critical of you guys!
I know you try, it just kind of annoys me when people get dismissive responses to things which a lot of people have issues with.
It's only a few of the mods who do this, not all of you.

This is the thing. It shouldn't be necessary to click "remember me" every time. It should either be selected by default, or the default cookie-expiry time should be much longer, like at least 30 minutes or an hour. The 10 minutes or whatever it's set to is ridiculous.

You can see the yellow text on right bottom part of the window that says "auto-saved". It saves every 60 sec.
I bet it's still there, tommo.
Yep, I'm really glad that feature was implemented, it's saved me frustration quite a few times now.
It didn't work yesterday though, I tried what you said last night (i.e before posting again) and it just loaded the quotes I'd selected without any of my text.

Just "satan"???? Bit of a Freudian slip there buddy? Or did you forget to lie? You are satan himself, I fucking know it. Don't try to hide anymore.....
coming in here with your devil, hippy ideas trying to turn us in to sinners.... I'm on to you mate.
Rave: I finally answered a question off the cuff from one of the lab supervisors.
It felt really good. We were doing fermentation today, and I was about to do one of the steps, when she comes running up to me
and says "wait!, wait!, stop". She said I need to fill the test tube all the way to the brim. I wasn't really sure if I should or not, so I just filled a cm or so below the brim.
She asked "why do you think it need to be filled all the way?". I didn't know and just kind of thought for a bit.
She then asked "what kind of reaction is this?" and I thought and said "fermentation"
She then asked "so why should it be filled the whole way?" or something like that and I thought and said "oh, yeah it needs to be anaerobic".
Fucking hell yes!
She understands the Socratic method. Barely any teachers get that. You don't give people answers, you ask them questions which cause them to figure out the answer by themselves.
My group supervisor does a similar thing, but not as well. She asks closed questions instead of open questions.
Fortunately she's super pretty so I try to come up with good, full answers.
I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm retarded though.
She said she would give us a small talk about a few things for our essay, in another room, and somehow I just completely missed it.
What the fuck? I honestly can't even comprehend how that happened. My whole group of 20 or so people was gone for 5-10 minutes and I had absolutely no idea.
How does that even happen?
I also continually fuck up my graphs and today I missed that we were supposed to record the results every 5 minutes instead of 10 like the lab thing said.
So I didn't fill the table or graph.
But she's really funny, every time I do something wrong, or my work is really messy and that sort of thing, like today I hand in my graph and table and I say "I completely screwed it up" and she's just like "that's okay!" in a really comforting and happy and reassuring way.
Like.... it really doesn't matter if it looks like shit or all this stuff is crossed out and whiteout everywhere, only the results matter and if I understand it.
I dunno, she's really weird, but I like it, haha.
RANT: Have to do a presentation next week....
Gotta acquire some xanax.
We're doing it in "groups" of 3, but we're each doing separate presentations, which doesn't really make sense for me.
On the plus side, we're only presenting to 3 people, plus the teacher I assume, and those 3 people mark us.
We did something similar in high school where the class marked us, and there were parameters like "body language" and stuff.
I put my hand in my pocket, but quickly remembered I wasn't supposed to do that and took it out, but they still took off a mark for it.
I'll probably get a shitty mark, but it's worth 5% or something so I have to at least try.
HELP NEEDED!!!! Just in case anyone is skimming and sees this. Has anyone got any ideas for a presentation?
We are allowed to be as creative as possible. They said one person last year made a little video game. (I don't have time to do that).
Any ideas are very, very appreciated. Specifically any ideas which would reduce anxiety and make it fun for me.
I've considered dressing up in a virus costume, but NFI how I would make that.
Seriously, give me any ideas, even completely stupid and infeasible ones. I'll make something out of them!
