"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.

I just placed a huge wager on imawildandcrazyguy. If this was a regular allowence race he would be 3 to 1.. he finished a half a length behind the fav Curlin (who I think will actually win) in the Derby, and was at least 5-6 wide the entire trip, and didn't go to the Preakness, so he's fresher.. i was watching the tote board since this morning and he was HAMMERED down from 20 to 1 to 7 to 1.. seems like I'm not the only one with that in mind. he's bred to go a route of ground as well.

I like Curlin, I think he will win, but picking winners and making money are two different things when it comes to handicapping... there are too many questions to take curlin at 6-5, distance, is he tired... I think he will, but I can't take 6-5....

didn't even mess around with exotics, no need to
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

update:

best race I have seen all year. I actually did a little bit (by litteraly a couple of dollars) better than breaking even.. I had imawildandcrazyguy HEAVY, but I also liked Rag's, and I hated hard spun, so the only logical play besides imawildandcrazyguy was rags/curlin excta box, with tiago/imawildandcrazyguy on the bottom. might have been the easiest race to handicap in a while, but I was trying to hit a homerun, and if hard spun would have done what he was supposed to, he might have, they went the half in :50 that took Tiago and imawildandcrazyguy out the race.

Larry Jones (trainer of hard spun) keeps trying to rate (means hold back) an unrateable horse. hands down the fastest 3YO in the country, he breezed 5F in less then 58 seconds before the derby.. under 1 minute flat is considered a top quality horse. I figured this was the race that he would actually go to the front and press the issue. but no, dumbass trainer. Anyway, it was a hell of a race
