"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

we will all die from wuhan virus

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I suggest reading The Plague, by Albert Camus. Moral of the story: we’re all gonna die.
doctors in Wuhan already gave up on life:

its over man.

also its already in many states in usa and soon it will infect hundreds (if didnt yet) already.

yet twitter is featuring death of some basketballer kobe LMAO

its over for humanity and even if not then its certainly over for huge part of china

As much as a global epemic is a serious harm for the whole world, we cant deny that it will be a great inspiration for RPGs and first person shooters next season.

Im sure netflix is already creating a show about a transgender mulatto immigrant who holds the cure to save the world.

True story
its actually interesting some sources claim the virus was created in china lab and linked to creating bioweapons:
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It would not surprise me in the least bit if this is a bio weapon that China has been working on, hell it might have gotten out as a test on the local population to see how it works and they just lost control of it. People are so wrapped up in so much stupid shiit in this day and age that they are not seeing the real important things happening around us. I think Most people have no clue of what is coming at us and are not prepared in the least bit and are going to be very surprised.

For all the evils China has done against the Environment,Uyghurs,Tibetans and to Hong Kong they fully deserve this.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

He was a great man, who had the kind of drive and determination someone like you could learn from, with all your self pity threads...I shed tears over Kobe today
Indeed. His death proves once again that no matter your financial status, age, or anything else you have going, when your ticket gets punched it’s time to get off the train. As a result, I prefer to not spend my time worrying about some disease that may or may not happen to me, but to be personally prepared to accept death when that moment does come to me.

Since we are all gonna die might as well enjoy this cool video first of the hospital being built in China that is supposed to house 1000 beds for patients for this virus and be built in 5 x days.


I'm not in construction but I can't understand how building this in 5 days will be possible even working 24x7.

On the other hand, hats off to them for getting right to work. In America the crats in suits would have to spend 5 years in offices talking about it first. Then breath down the worker's necks to build it in 5 days.

It's possible with modular design.

The Chinese aren't exactly known for their hygiene and they live in close contact with livestock. This is why these diseases come from China.
If you're a westerner who doesn't eat bat soup or duck vaginas, doesn't **** in a hole and you wash your hands now and again and basically act like a civilised modern human being, you'll be fine.
