Don't worry y'all, I'm an expert at interpreting chart data. What this tells us is that although you lose your childhood resilience over time, your wall-punching resilience increases from your teenage years through the rest of your life. By 70, you're guaranteed to be indestructible when it comes to wall punching.

Sometimes I'll be kinda zoned out and realize I just signaled because the road curved.

This reminds me of the time that I learned that the correct answer to "what's up?" is "what's up?" At least in the context of that one coworker who would say that to me as we were walking past each other.

I've since learned to recognize these things as a "bid for connection". It generally has little to do with the content of the question or the answer and everything to do with relating.

So basically there is no wrong answer. And there are lots of good examples in this thread!

Personally I tend to answer "not much" as a knee-jerk reaction, but sometimes I'll remember to say something else after that.

It is so weird to mention Monsanto in this headline.

I don't think your existence depended on your having sex with your wife...

I think you're still giving them too much credit with the for loop and regex and everything. I'm thinking they exported something to Excel, got 60k rows, then tried to add a lookup formula to them. Since you know, they don't use SQL. I've done ridiculous things like that in Excel, and it can get so busy that it slows down your whole computer, which I can imagine someone could interpret as their "hard drive overheating".

Charlatan?

Uh, you're either supposed to complain about censoring or over-analyze the meme. What is this clever, amusing comment? Are you sure you're on the right site?

I get the joke, and certainly not all self-help books are good, but also people are unique and at different places in their lives. With just a little introspection one can probably tell which book would be better for them. Maybe they say yes too much and would benefit from learning how and when to say no; or they say no to everything and would benefit from learning to embrace new experiences.

Or, you know, pick one up and thumb through a few pages.
