I was reading an article that a friend of mine posted (that is such a poor starter) about "how to talk to women without harassing them." I realized that I would never be reading this article if I wasn't moving to the city.

For the life of me, I don’t understand the reason to be that vulgar to women. I think where I’ve gotten my feelings hurt is in situations where cultural norms regarding stranger-to-stranger contact were very different than what I was used to.
In the South, one strikes up random conversions with strangers, regardless of sex. I even saw my father do much the same thing, speaking to women in the checkout line at the grocery store. Here in DC, not so much. I once really frightened this poor woman who was not comfortable with such a degree of friendliness. She pushed away from me quickly and started walking away as fast as she could. My feelings were really hurt. I felt rejected. Where I am from, not engaging in conversation is often considered rude or, at best, odd.
In any case, that wasn’t street harassment at all, but it did remind me that definitions of privacy vary from region to region and culture to culture. I’m not saying that what happened to you or any woman in that circumstance is acceptable. The code of conduct I am used to does not include harassment as justifiable behavior.
see, if a kind and genuine man comes up to say hello, women might just treat him poorly. The gentleman's feelings were hurt in the story before. Like, are women treating men the same way they are being treated? There are nasty guys out there. Verbally, psychologically, physically damaging people. AND there is nasty, snobbish, obtuse women out there. It might not read as something nice to say, but if one is going to accusative we might as well get things sorted. Like great, I am thankful I got to read this but I'd like to respond and remind that there are mean women out there too. Ahahaha when did human relation become so combative? I also just realized I could say it the same exact way as "why are people so mean?" A lot of science seems like common sense. Like yeah, Newton figured that apples fall from the tree. So did Johnny Appleseed. I guess things like reincarnation stayed pretty hidden until now. Unless people actively realized that the animals or levels of reincarnation were symbols that represent a very mechanical quality... but then what are mechanic properties but a series of causal actions? I mean, sure, you could figure out the exact mathematical calculation to make the soap bubbles on the tip of your nose, or you could just play with bubbles. It makes the search for the ultimate meaning very boring because once you've found it, all you have is calculation. Like every flutter of your happiness index is a bouncing soul in the East Australasian current and we can map that out. Easy. Except it takes far more computer mass than it does subject mass. It's simple math. You don't even need to know anything about computers. Just a little biology and physics.
You take the smallest considerable bit and you assign it a flop- a single procedure. Of course if it's a complex behavior, you need exponential computation. The best computers in the world are going to work in teraflops, which is 1012 floating point operations per second. Think of how many flops in a single particle? A lot more than five. Think of how many single particles you have in your body. Each of them effecting the behavior of the whole. It's incredibly complicated and in fact, it's the most complicated thing in existence.
a simple calculator needs only about 10 FLOPS to be considered functional.- so says wikipedia.
Just sayin'
