What the universe cares about

The universe doesn't care about anything normal people consider, but it does care about extraordinarily minute details... like where an electron should be in the next femtosecond based on everything going on around it. Ironically, by keeping track of only those details, it has constructed machines (humans and maybe others) that *do* perceive a much more global view. The universe perceives and acts on itself somewhat rationally through the machines that it builds.

Variety of tastes

Variety of tastes is so extreme because there is no one optimal solution. Depending on available food, one taste may be more optimal than another. Best to hate poison and like good stuff, but there's no guarantee. So, with a variety of tastes, somebody in the population will probably have a near optimal system.

Women in pairs

Women almost always go to clubs in pairs and it makes sense to meet both of them, and focus on one. Talk to one about the other if it makes sense in conversation, the other is often a useful topic.

Compliments

Common advice is that compliments aren't good openers because they make you seem sort of easy and don't lead anywhere. My experience is that if the first thing you say is a compliment, it doesn't exactly lead anywhere. Like if you just say "you're cute" that doesn't really go anywhere. However, if you ask where she's from and make some observation about facial features, ask more questions etc., then complimenting is totally appropiate and does lead places. So it's a good thing when used conversationally. Women feel more at ease once they know what you think.

Women write that they want someone who makes them laugh in their online profile

Women write that they want someone who makes them laugh in their online profile. This is worthless information because pretty much everybody wants somebody who makes them laugh. It's also worthless because it doesn't actually specify what the woman is looking for. Different people laugh at different things. A woman will laugh more at a guy who she's attracted too. In fact saying that she wants someone who makes her laugh is pretty much the same as saying she wants someone whose personality is attractive to here. It would be more descriptive if she said what kind of humor she liked, like dry or silly or British, whatever, that would start to say something about her personality.

Heavy napkins

Somebody should invent heavy napkins that don't blow away in the wind.

Why does turning technology off and on fix it

It seems too easy, but 90% of the time turning it off and on fixes it. I believe it's because you are returning it to a state where the engineers who built it tested it the most. The longer it's on, the more likely that it's state has drifted into some state that is untested and a bug may occur. Who knows, maybe human brains sleep for similar reasons.
