And one can say you've been deaf for months too.And I’ve legitimately been asking the same question for months - what does “fear mongering“ have to do with COVID-19?
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.

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
but that is what happen, people fishing alone, 3 cops go after him to arrest him, people walking around without a mask being fined when they are alone, course the cops never go alone after you, they are always on 2 or 3.Yes. We need police. However, no one should actually be incarcerated or charged for not wearing a mask. Masks have an epidemiological benefit if most people are wearing them (80%+). Mandatory mask laws get us to that number. Some people will always break the law but the mask wearing doesn’t require 100% compliance to move the numbers.
In NJ, masks have been mandatory since April. Everyone in every public building I go into wears one. The law works. Result is we have consistently had one the lowest positivity rates for months.
gonna explain this again, because I know you still don't get it don't matter how many times we tell you (or are being disonest so you can look like smart, but you don't fool anyone)And I’ve legitimately been asking the same question for months - what does “fear mongering“ have to do with COVID-19?

The families of the 190,000+ Americans that died from COVID-19 wouldn’t call it overblown.so like always stop saying crap and check the facts before anything

the covid problem was over blow, too much fanfarre for a small problem, nothing who was projected happened, not even half of it, and not it was NOT because the whole mask thing, the all it was needed was to isolate people from china and the old and sick, letting everyone else live they lives, and working, but we can't have that, now everyone is a coward who don't even leave they home, and now we are getting the post fear mongering deal, several places closed, a lot of people without work, products prices skyrocketing, but of course you will ignore or don't acknowledge it, and now will give a half ass answer, trying to look smart AGAIN
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Hey. let me help you out - No one is calling for police to arrest people who don’t wear masks. In fact, I said the opposite:National Association of Police Organizations endorses Trump
Like seriously, how do democrats plan to use the police to enforce their idiotic mask mandate when all police departments across the country are against democrats....?????.....

National Association of Police Organizations endorses Trump
A coalition of police unions and associations across the country is endorsing President Trump’s re-election bid, recognizing his “steadfast and very public support” of law enforcement officers. The…nypost.com

One argument is how many of those 190k+ deaths were really from Covid. That's one of the sticking points with just believeing in any figure you hear at face value. You seem to be a big believer in what the officials say so it would be natural for the beliefs you have without doing any of your own in depth research outside of the official channels.That is not what is happening.
The families of the 190,000+ Americans that died from COVID-19 wouldn’t call it overblown.
You guys were saying back in March that covid was a hoax. What’s the story now?
So you’re accusing every state, municipal, and federal health agency of lying about covid deaths?One argument is how many of those 190k+ deaths were really from Covid.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Lockdown isn’t needed if everyone wears a mask. Most economies can’t stomach another lockdown.Everything is debatable.
It seemed like quarantine was more effective than masks.
Wouldn't work anyway. Just takes one Typhoid Mary type to spread it all over the globe again.If we tested everyone and quarantined the positives, we could practically eliminate the virus and reopen the economy. Unfortunately it won't happen that way.
you mean a real quarantine with no one leaving and everyclose? or this joke of quarantine who people could ask for delivery? and only half population(normally the poor ones) would still have to work?But it's still more effective.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Always just say it's satire because then even if the feds get on you you cash just say it was satire.If one candidate wins the election, Covid cases will start to go down immediately. Then around February-March it will be reported that Covid is gone enough to open the country back to mostly a previous 'normal'. The media might even give this new president credit for saving humanity.
If the other candidate wins the election, Covid will be reported as a 'pandemic' for the next four years. AND/OR, a new 'pandemic' that is far worse than Covid like the Black Plague or some other problem to keep the country in chaos will be reported.
Disclaimer: In the spirit of not breaking forum rules, I'm not going to differentiate between potential presidents I reference above. Both statements are hypothetical and for entertainment purposes only.
This makes no sense to me because the same people wanting the national face covering mandate are also the people wanting to get rid of police. So how would enforce this is what I want to know?? They just gonna pay a bunch of Karens to walk around Walmart and harass customers, same as they do now but pay them????National face covering mandate coming...????....
I fear we're entering into a new Salem Witch Trials era where disgruntled neighbors will falsely report each other for mask violations simply out of spite....This makes no sense to me because the same people wanting the national face covering mandate are also the people wanting to get rid of police.
