Negging could be a misguided dating strategy
By Hicbd
"Negging ("to neg", meaning "negative feedback") is an act of emotional manipulation whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or otherwise flirtatious remark to another person to undermine their confidence and attempt to engender in them a need for the manipulator's approval."

A first kiss could be accomplished with the triangular gaze
By Hicbd
"The triangle method, or triangular gazing, is a non-verbal flirting technique that involves moving your gaze from one eye of the person you're attracted to, to the other eye, then down to their mouth and back up again," Deon Black tells The Knot. 'It's like playing connect-the-dots with someone's face.'"

"Describing it as the 'smart, dumb, sweet, evil matrix', Amy said that she and Grace had discovered that 'every man in the world falls' into one of their four categories. These are based on how the men they have dated have behaved, and how they use this behaviour as the basis for their categories."

People could have different friendship styles
By Hicbd
"The article and quiz, developed with the author Kasley Killam and based on her book "The Art and Science of Connection," explores how people can be one of four types of friends:
- Butterfly: A person who thrives with frequent social interaction and is an excellent party guest and host.
- Firefly: A person who limits social engagements and is highly focused when they're around friends.
- Evergreen: A person who feels most alive when they have many social interactions, but only with close friends.
- Wallflower: A person who is somewhat shy, has a light social calendar, but is also very attentive to others."

Public transportation could sell holiday merchandise / arrange festivals
By Hicbd
"San Francisco’s market for public-transportation-branded merchandise is booming, just in time for the holidays. BART unveiled its holiday collection — headlined by the fourth iteration of its ugly sweater — Monday, nearly three weeks after the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency unveiled its own cotton-acrylic jumper. Officials with the agencies told The Examiner riders have reacted positively to their seasonal offerings. The merchandise is effective at building camaraderie among riders eager to show their pride for transit agencies while also increasing brand awareness, they said."

Private credit could prevent corporate bankruptcies / create zombie firms
By Hicbd
"Now, however, with the rise of private credit, corporate debt is increasingly held in purely private hands, even for some very large firms. As a result, the entire chain of ownership and investment from the company to the ultimate investor is private, on both the equity and the debt side. The consequences of this are significant and potentially troubling: a very large segment of the US economy may go dark entirely."

Luggage / things could be transported / shipped easily at low cost
By Hicbd
"To send a giant suitcase to your next hotel — arriving next day, waiting in your room, handled with utmost care and gentleness — costs about $13 USD (maybe even less considering current exchange rates). Every hotel (from the humblest Dormy Inn to some oligarch-owned Aman) does takkyu-bin. Every hotel has the forms and will help you fill them out. 'Hi, I’d like to send my luggage using takkyu-bin.'"

Care kits with resources information for the homeless / humanitarian situations could be developed
By Hicbd
"Oftentimes access to resources is inaccessible — and providing essential care kits is a way to help provide immediate assistance to strangers you encounter in your day-to-day life. Care kits provide essential items for people experiencing homelessness. Things like toiletries, nutritious food, hand warmers, first aid supplies, and clean socks and clothing can help to improve their quality of life and make their daily struggles a little easier."
