"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.

Watching the show from half a world away here. 1% contained. Gezus. All the houses are made out of wood. That's problematic, because wood burns. Concrete and brick does not burn. Another thing, total inability of firefighters to contain the blaze. Problem is absense of proper aircraft. This entire world has only two aircraft capable of proper operations.

Be-200 and US-2

The deployed aircraft, simply does not do the job.


Furthermore, that suppose to be the most expensive real estate in the world. Why is it build out of same materials as my friend's chicken pen? Concrete. Concrete with rebar. That's what I imagine when house prices are around 1 million. Frankly speaking, even 100k, that's concrete with rebar, maybe brick. Wood and framing that's way way bellow 100k, close to 30k.

Anyway. There should be a brand new federal agency which responds to disaster situations, including fires, and there should be fleet of about 10 to 20 specialized aircraft. Otherwise, with all the cash in local city and state disposal, there simply isn't enough expertise and inadequate equipement to fight such fires.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Prior to California there was Hawaii, mind you. Another fail, for same exact reasons. It has nothing to do with politics, everything with technology and execution.

Concrete doesn't do so well in an earthquake.
I watched videos from Palesades. Dude rode on e-bike and filmed,. There are many many videos like that. There are indeed some concrete buildings out there. We talking rebar and concrete. So earthquakes obviously is not a problem. Those buildings were standing, while around them buildings were burned completely. Also, mind you, downtown Los Angeles is made out of conrete all those sky scrapers.

Hi Sevbucmach,
We have truly massive fires down here,I have seen the amazing damage they can do....In one fire near my previous town,they talked of temperatures at the firefront of 1,300 degrees C...I saw a Car similar to your US Chevrolet that sat in a burned down farm shed,the Aluminium Manifold was melted!!! You could have a concrete house and get cooked inside....In the Victorian Bushfires of '39,people jumped into thousand gallon water Tanks and were boiled alive!
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
