"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.

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.

 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
