"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.

If the entire internet would change a celebs birthday because they know we know it was a ritual. What else you think they're hiding? Ask yourself that question.

It does show age 42 in the wayback machine that takes snapshots of websites throughout time.


You can use the way back machine to find other sites too before they were changed.

 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I really hope government or the "special" interest groups don't take over that site because that is one of the few things we can reference these days in the digital age.

digital = manipulation
analog = truth

Think about how many history eBooks could be changed at any time vs analog hard copy books? Same for photos and such...
I'm just afraid of reality manipulation in the digital environment we live in.

They are currently debating what to do with the Black Panther character. They have basically two choices:
1) Recast T'Challa
2) Let another character become the next Black Panther (possibly Shuri).

At first glance, #2 seems like the better option. It's consistent with the comics concept, and it avoids possible accusations of disrespect toward Boseman. Really, the only drawback to this option is that you lose the T'Challa character, which is a classic character, so I'm not sure it's the best idea. Other actors have played The Joker after Heath Ledger's death, and will continue to. Batman has been recast, as has James Bond. Would Chadwick Boseman want T'Challa to disappear from film? I actually think it might be more respectful to recast him.

Chadwick is so synonymous with T’Challa at this point. I think the better option will be to have Shuri become the Black Panther. Chadwick as T’Challa is iconic.

This is one of my favorite SNL sketches, T'Challa on Black Jeopardy. This is from a few years back, but Boseman does look pretty thin here.
