Depends on which social skills. Regardless of the end goal, you need to start with empathy and consider the other persons situation. Importantly, that they might not be looking for new friends. Be ready to face rejection and that's nothing wrong with you.

Your first goal is to Open or start a conversation, and hopefully keep the other person engaged long enough to let the relationship develop and grow. Typically this is as simple as listening, complimenting or "peacocking" or standing out in attempt to attract the same. Speak your mind, you are trying to find your people! If you comment on appearance be polite, indirect, and be sure not to objectify the person not ~"nice ass", aim for "I love your anime shirt!". It's going to take some attempts before it feels more natural. That works out because you need to engage with a lot of people. Note: If you can't find people, you need to start a hobby.

Next goal is to engage the person and act interested, at this stage you should celebrate opening. Few things to try to keep in mind: Eye contact, questions, active listening, repeating to assert understanding, mirroring, match vocal tone/pitch. But most importantly "Yes and". This means, accept their addition and add to it. Shutting stuff down is easy, contributing is hard. You are trying to build.

Lastly close. Did you have fun, did you share energy? Tell them! Validate that feeling and ask for a followup contact information. From here you will need to balance give and take in the relationship and try to make it mutually beneficial.

My favorite openers:

  • What are you passionate about today
  • When/what really pissed you off recently
  • You made me smile, are you looking for new friends
  • Relevant comment based on location/accessories
  • I'm bored, got any stories

Everyone appears to be telling you to skip it, but they don't understand the question. You'll be cutting moisture and binding agents, you can replace it with an egg but that will add more rise, or by replacing it with a 1:3 ground-flax-seed:water after letting it sit for 5 min.

Go to Ali Express, and filter through the "mp3" results. They will cost less than $10, be made of the cheapest material possible but meet your requirements. Otherwise you are thrift store shopping

Irrational soft magic system - anything can happen for any reason, so the story doesn't matter at all.

I would recommend a food journal, odds are that you have a mild allergy to something like mustard or sesame with a 24 hour delay.

I've done 2 of the technix cars 1000-2000 pieces. They are fun but expensive. They take up a lot of space when you are done. The Ferrari had a lot of loose pieces for the price. As others have mentioned, look into led kits before you build it.

xkcd 1:10000 The other half of this conversation is that I can't explain every detail to every person. Mention it's an important event, let them know it's fun to learn new things, then move on and don't care if they look into it

Grab a 4 free AOL disk from blockbuster, use 3 of them as frisbees. Take the last one home and spend 10 minutes waiting the interface to install. Plug in the phone line and hear a series of beeps and schreeches before being greeted by an early robotic voice saying "welcome!" And often "you've got mail".

Afterwards you follow a guide to sign up for a mail account and a text like document with links to AOL platform tooling like chat rooms and search tools. You started looking for urls everywhere wondering what hidden gems you'll find in the virtual world and what kind of content was on cereal websites or Nickelodeon. There was a massive learning curve for multimedia, but you had a lot of pen pals from chatrooms. So much porn spam. Nabisco had an awesome gaming site

Couple things here, Maro is a designer for the game, not the CEO. He has a very active blog, including a podcast during his drive to work. He regularly shares his opinions; often times stating when he is opposed to the direction of wotc/hasbro but it is vetted by management because of trade secrets. MTG is a very inclusive community because it caters to the fringe communities that are inherently different. They really don't want to alienate their diverse fan base, they are a very expensive hobby that anyone can walk away from.

I am also going to recommend you actually read the article rather than a snippet/summary. He goes into detail about the user he was responding to is wrong, because he was unable to provide insight required for character building and how culture is whitewashed. This was not a push/PR piece he reached out to enlighten a user that was wrong. He is championing people to embrace diversity because it has visible value and gives examples. He is also doing this during an era of opposition which is when it's most important. Maro is an amazing person that has done significant work towards all kinds of game development, I highly recommend checking out some of his comicon panels.
