It does feel weird to randomly start conversations with people I dunno at all. :/

My father told me not too long ago best to just trim facial hair and keep it neat, so you can still be manly with your manly facial hair.

the only way you shave your facial hair is, by not shaving it.

There's an obnoxious show-off suck-up jackass in all of my classes (same guy).
We just had a lecture in orbital mechanics from a professor who's been doing rocket science longer than this kid has been alive.
The kid tries to show off and grill the professor on some stupid, completely-beside-the-point point today. Eventually he lets out (in the most sarcastic, condescending voice possible):
"Have you never seen a USGS topographical map?"
So sick of this damn kid, he makes my blood boil every time he raises his hand.

I had a grad lecture class where, and I'm not kidding, this guy would always preface his questions by mentioning he studied at Oxford.
"When I studied at Oxford, I came across a paper on..."
"At Oxford, I was in a reading group that discussed..."
"Oh, this author studied at Oxford. I bring this up because I studied at Oxford and..."
Sometimes he would remind us two or three times a day.

For some reason, this actually sounds worse than "my mom used to tell me".
I have to admit I sometimes use the latter on purpose to scare people away when I don't feel like talking.

you sure they're not just trying to quote Forrest Gump and you stopped listening to them early?

Reminds me of this Russian (?) kid who was in some of my uni classes. He wasn't so much a show off as much as he was showing off his anti-capitalist opinions, which isn't wrong in and of itself, but was annoying because he'd do it constantly and passive-aggressively and in the most random and unnecessary times. And whenever the professors got questions from this kid they'd sort of have that "oh god why does this kid ask these annoying questions" look.

Oh god. I knew a similar guy back when I studied at Harvard. I mean, he wasn't socialist or anything, he would just talk about his dog constantly. We were at Harvard, and he was from a town that wasn't Harvard, but he should've anticipated missing his dog when he decided to go to Harvard! I accepted not seeing my bird when I decided to go to Harvard. You would think someone who went to Harvard would be smarter than that. Harvard is a great school, but it occasionally attracts students who aren't as smart as the rest of us at Harvard. Besides that, though, Harvard was great. Harvard.

The Niger Delta is a microcosm of everything that is wrong with this world.
Shell and the Nigerian government grow fat from the oil there, while the inhabitants never see a dollar of the wealth it's creating. The fish are dead, the fishermen are broke, the forests are gone, the water is polluted, the farms are greasy and poisonous with the slick of the oil, the people are poisoned and poor, and the seas and roads are infested with pirates and terrorists who fight the government and the corporations that have destroyed their lives. Meanwhile, the rest of the world buys the oil to fill the cars that they don't want to part with.
There's no hope.

English, you mean. In other places pastimes have to do with sheep.
And, really, in Ingerland it is also a pastime to boil the taste of food indoors while the sun shines.
