    Also, the title is wrong. You don't -win- friends, you -get- friends. You definitely don't get free friends playing lotto.

    Well, I'm currently living in the kitchen of quite a nice house, but I feel like I'm mooching off of another's kindness. I'll have to check it out- Though, no offense, Melanne.

    Well, I know that, but it was a reference to the old Earth book How to Win Friends and Influence Enemies.

    My suggestion? Size people up. Think to yourself: "Can I beat this motherfucker in a fight if I have to?" If you think you can, approach them and strike up a conversation. If you think you can't? Walk away from them and practice until you think you can. Trust me, it's a good idea in this fucked up galaxy with fucked up people.

    ...Where'd all the cool people go, man.

    I don't have a whole lot of money, I'm afraid, but thank you for the offer.

    As for this, I'm not good at fighting. I've never been in a fight in my life, so I guess I gotta develop these kinda skills.

    This reminds me of an old friend, who got enslaved and later killed because of that: she lacked those skills too.
    The universe is cruel.
    Get a taser.

    Ah, it's cool. Just gotta pick up a few street fighting tactics, watch people get into fights on the street and stuff. ..Wait, no one uses their fuckin' fists anymore, they all cry and hide behind their guns.
    Get a shotgun or something, those'll protect you. They're like walls of punishment if they're designed right. I'd also recommend something like a smoke bomb or something if you're light on your feet. ..Should also carry a shiv or something. Shivs'll save you in a tight spot if you need to stab a dude.

    I still vote for a taser, it isn't lethal, and it works.. unless the target wears a rubber suit.
    But you stay away from those.

    You say that now. Wait until some kartaaking slaver uses that pistol to whip you, then you'll wish you had failsafe explosives instead.

    A taser huh? I've been doing some research, and I think I have a suitable alternative. Thank you for the suggestion however.

    And this still seems really extreme.
