"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Panic buying creates shortages and it can be hard to predict, because it often isn't logical. I remember the first corona shopper mob who hit the grocery store near me picked it clean of every potato, except the sweet potatoes. No one touched them, the bin was overflowing, because people are dumb and don't understand nutrition. There are people who think they are going to starve if the local McDonald's shuts down for a few days. Some shortages will be irrelevant to survival.

Yeah I never understood why people freak out about no food on the shelves. I just buy what nobody else wants, and as you said, people are stupid. Not to mention we can get by on much less food than we actually eat.

I do not see a food shortage coming, personally. "Shortage" has been the buzzword for nearly 2.5 years now. If it does happen, yes, there will be chaos in the poor areas that will spill over into liberal city downtowns like what happened in 2020.

DOOM AND GLOOM!!!
 

"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.

It's just unusual because in the US, this is something we haven't seen before, or at least not in my lifetime. Hasn't really been a problem for me though. Certain different products disappear from time to time, and so far it's just a matter of waiting until they show up again. Then they'll come back and something else goes missing.

Because there's not a real shortage. Supply-chain still working itself out, combined with panic buying from time to time. When COVID first hit, while it was hard to imagine back then, most planners were saying 2023 before things truly return to normal. And if you're worried about higher prices, well, all this high pay due to bailouts combined with higher gas prices make goods go up. It's already trending back down.
