Gregory's ServerThis lady on the radio just said the way to get free booze at the bar is to look for the most pretentious looking guy and offer to buy him a drink and threaten his ego, and you know I’m all over that shit, this weekend. For science.

 @hacks4pancakes Need to figure out how to look pretentious. And like a guy quick. For research purposes. @hacks4pancakes Drunken Bob, the theory of Bob-osmosis, and the bar that was impossible to become falling-down drunj within... that was a free show. This... This seems closer to firearms, water-filled barrels, and fish; unchallenging.  @HoffmanLabs @hacks4pancakes "Bobsmosis" was right there, man  Shows what I know. I was thinking, if I'm an egomaniac, wouldn't gals buying me drinks stoke my ego? Like F-yeah, I'm so awesome the chicks buy ME drinks. @nimbus5000 @hacks4pancakes i reckon this is like the division between “men who say they would like more compliments” and mean it, and men who say that but get upset if they get them from another man @hacks4pancakes I was thinking if the target was pretentious me (I wear many hats), I would buy you a drink before you had a chance to attack. But d'oh! Then you already won, and my ego is then pre-threatened! 🤬 Diabolical in its simplicity! @hacks4pancakes I’ve read this several times, and I think it’s a compliment that no one offers to buy me a drink… but in a sad way 🤷🏻😂 Kudos for doing it for science though 👍🏻 @ebooksyearn I’m not sure even that part is necessary with that ego, but it’s implied @hacks4pancakes I think this is quite risky but wish you the best in obtaining free drinks @hacks4pancakes @ebooksyearn "no no it's just that you look like you could really use one is all" @hacks4pancakes Can you also please slide this into your research. “To what extent do you agree with this statement: ‘I am a narcissist.’ (Note: The word ‘narcissist’ means egotistical, self-focused and vain.)” Scale of 1 to 10 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0103469 Sara Konrath, Brian P. Meier, Brad J. Bushman  @vyrus eh, if he’s an actual reasonable person he just gets a free drink and a high five @hacks4pancakes eh, more un-prompted positive attention than I've ever gotten from a woman in public #notBad @hacks4pancakes some of the replies to this ... I am not surprised, and god I hate people sometimes. :/  At least the results should be more fun to write up than a pen test report. Looking forward to the results of your research. @hacks4pancakes  @hacks4pancakes Speaking as a former bartender this sounds very risky. Could end badly unless you like getting stuck talking to really pretentious looking guys at the bar. Good luck, though. 😬 @gulovsen if I did all the good advice people give me to stay safe I would not have a job or leave my home 🍸🤷🏻♀️ @gulovsen I mean it’s good advice. But I’ve also been told to not ride a bike or walk alone to the train. Which is also good risk management @hacks4pancakes As a backup plan if the radio advice doesn't work, becoming friends with the bartender - or better yet the owner of the establishment - will almost certainly result in free booze.  @SwiftOnSecurity the great thing is I buy drinks for random people of all genders all the time with no incident so this will probably truly only get the assholes. Everyone else just gets a free drink  @hacks4pancakes @SwiftOnSecurity Note to self, be both in a space with hacks4pancakes, and be interesting enough to get a drink bought for. 😁 @Stormgren @SwiftOnSecurity it’s true I recently bought an entire club tacos @hacks4pancakes @dustinfinn Lesley making it rain in the club: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=npjF032TDDQ @dustinfinn Oh, my sweet summer child... Their app has a $50 limit on drive-thru orders — I know this and I'm only ordering for a houseful of taco enthusiasts, not a whole club. 😂 @hacks4pancakes @SwiftOnSecurity You're really not talking me out of this here, tacos sound amazing.  @hacks4pancakes @Stormgren @SwiftOnSecurity Lesley, is there no end to your fabulosity? @wendynather @hacks4pancakes @Stormgren @SwiftOnSecurity seriously. I hope I get to finally meet them in person at defcon!  @SwiftOnSecurity @hacks4pancakes Now I am going to act like the most pretentious guy at the bar so women come up and buy me free drinks. @jerry @SwiftOnSecurity @hacks4pancakes Same. I just ordered a monocle and have spent the morning practicing my dismissive hurumph. @dscw @jerry @SwiftOnSecurity I mean everybody cosplaying a pretentious finance bro is also amusing for me so double victory @hacks4pancakes @jerry @SwiftOnSecurity @hacks4pancakes @dscw @jerry @SwiftOnSecurity I do not think I can pull that off without revamping my normal sartorial stylings @jerry @SwiftOnSecurity @hacks4pancakes I mean, I'd buy you a drink just for running infosec.exchange, pretention or no. @Stormgren the funny part is that I am perhaps among the shyest people there are and would probably melt onto the floor. Will try! Then when he least expects it I will take his drink and go home to masturbate! Head fake!  @hacks4pancakes And, yet, I find myself continuing to follow you all... @ohmu there’s thing inexplicable triad of bartenders, hackers, and engineers (usually mechanical engineers, but hey) @hacks4pancakes  @ohmu @hacks4pancakes that’s a perfectly logical worry. It’s really hard for a homogenous group (especially one that is relatively privileged) to get a holistic understanding of risk. @ohmu @hacks4pancakes @hacks4pancakes @ohmu That group of people is one that you should "NEVER" start a question with "I wonder if..." or maybe you should... you never know what you'll end up getting @ohmu @hacks4pancakes Eventually, as you gain context, the gibberish may begin to make sense! ...it's how we get ya. ;)  @hacks4pancakes where can I find you conducting this test cause I'll come be a scientific observer to document the successes and failures... 😂 |
@hacks4pancakes I cannot wait to hear the results of this.
