"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.

hi guys,
for the past 2 months, i've been working on a *old* 21 inch monitor. bad thing was that it was fuzzy on the left side. thought it would be ok because it's 21" and i set it up at 1024*768 which got me big readable letters and all.

now, i'm discovering my viewing distance is approximately half of what i could have done 2 months ago. i'm already wearing glasses (myopic) and i could see well at 30 meters (without glasses) now faces are blurry/fuzzy at 15 meters. i'm sure it's that damn screen because i've had watery and strained eyes everytime i finished working.

now, does anyones knw if this is temporary and if i can recover my previous "good eyes"? this is quite a concern because i'll have to change my glasses soon and i'm sure my opticician will give me those thick ones and this is a huge no.

or are there any exercices to be less myopic?.
 

"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.

No, you cannot "undo" myopia. It's basically the thinning/streching of your cornea. The key is to prevent it from getting worst. Remember to have constant breaks. If you're looking up close, try to look somewhere far away on breaks. Move your eyes around. And replace your freaking monitor. They're pretty cheap!

well from everything ive read your eyes will only get worse temporarily from staring at a computer screen. look on google for improving your vision without glass, i think thatll do it. there are a few exersices that are suppose to help. ive been doing some of them and i do think its working some. the naysayers can say nay but i say it works. ive only been doing them for id say 3 or four weeks and im noticing some improvement
