Then you're not tricking them but what I'm saying still holds...

Pudge is right. The negative connotation of the word "manipulate" is making what I'm trying to say unclear. If you replace "manipulate" with "influence" do you still disagree with me?

not particularly, i more or less agreed with you initially. i just felt like being pedantic.

on a side note to this ridiculous discussion, on the advice of magicninja (RIP) i read How to Win Friends and Influence People a few years ago and loved it. It delves into and analyzes social interactions and people's motives but really avoids the manipulative feel. It really focuses on genuinely caring about other people and being genuinely interested in what they have to say. very refreshing and pretty amazing considering it was written so long ago.

It's the part where you said 'all communication', i think people assumed, as per Eagle's examples, that you meant in life in general. But i guess you mean talking to girls you wanna bang?

Panorama for drinks is awesome. Def better during the Summer when you can sit outside. Park Hyatt Bar at Avenue and Bloor is sweet to. Awesome view. Bit of and older crowd but really nice.

Panorama is a bad place to smoke joints on the patio. They arent naive to what weed smells like.

Park Hyatt bar is a bad place to lose ccr when your friends drink louis XIV or whatever its called.

Last year for winterliscious I remember checking out out Mistura. I had the wild boar raviolli and really renjoyed it.

Re - sushi inn. I was @ maxs the other night and we ordered E Sushi. Tried it again while grinding sunday tournaments and I think it may have overtaken sushi inn for best Toronto delivery. Their apps are way better and its not close. For whoever asked whats good @ yonge/bloor subway - just go north one stop imo and camel your line

If we are braggin about tickets :

Actually, it was just at this place called Zushi Puzzle. I had never really eaten there, just ordered to go from there since it is a few blocks away. Turned out they had this whole whiteboard of fresh fish from Japan that changed daily that I didn't see on the togo menu...and ffs it was fresh as hell.

It was half the price as sebo...but if I go to a place like that Sebo it is because I am going to try unique dishes and small plates...not overpriced sashimi and nigiri. Also, on the website it shows white people working behind the sushi bar...meh?

Def sit at the bar when you go to Zushi Puzzle, Roger (the chef) is awesome and will seriously hook you up. Also, I don't recall any white people behind the bar when I went.

wingsuit flying is the sickest and if it didnt take like 500 jumps from a normal airplane and base jumps to do it, then I would probably do it

being at the 200 level of a super bowl game is like being the brother of the guy who is the heir of the throne in England. sure you won't be in as many photos/tabloids but you're still better off than 99% of everyone else.
