"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Do you believe the cancel cultures will go after old movies?

The owners and CEOs are the ones who cancelled because they caved to economic pressure.

And I'm glad they're gone (i.e. redskins, indians, etc). All racist/condescending titles in my opinion.

Racists should never be memorialized... Stone Mountain memorializes Jefferson Davis, who, like a psvussy, fled the battlefield in the midst of humiliating defeat...and Bob E Lee, the Benedict Arnold traitor, who should have been hanged at Appomattox.

So I'd like to see racist monuments cancelled, and in my opinion the government should require the daughters of the confederacy to fund their deletions. Make the racists pay for it. I don't want my taxes being used to cancel any racist monuments, statues, etc.
Redskins was not racist. Period.
 

"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.

Lee was no traitor. He remained loyal to his home.

I'm kinda afraid they will start to remove old movies (80s action ones and stuff) from mainstream platforms first and everywhere later or worse yet demand them to be edited.

I know it sounds extreme but we learned to never underestimate their madness.

Is it a good idea to stock them up on hard disks?
Highly doubt it. But schools are def a big of it. Thankfully we have written books and men walking as living examples, and hopefully, we stay away from finding instant gratification (and effectively distraction) in Television altogether at some point.

I guess I should add, the Asians are hyper racist against one another. The Chinks hate the Japs and vice versa. The clips up top were of Korean's 'culturally appropriating' the Chinese and the Indians. Luckily they DGAF what anyone thinks and their programming is hella funny. As soon as you start getting all bent out of shape over stereotypes and symbolism, no one wants to invite you to the party or be around you for that matter.

I gotta say though, if you're wearing jeans, a t-shirt or socks, you are pretty much culturally appropriating the West. No reparation required, just throw yourself off a bridge.

Cancel culture and George Floyd destroyed the Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians, Aunt Jemima, Hey Reb (UNLV mascot), and numerous historic statues. If they go after statues, books/movies are next.
I have always wondered why UNLV chose the Confederate mascot; it was always a Union state (heck it became a state only 6 months or so before the war was over). OTOH, for Ole Miss (U of Mississippi), the mascot was as perfect as it could be.
 

"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.

On the 2nd sentence I agree: he was 100% loyal to the confederacy.
There is something to be said about the idea that prior to the 14th Amendment (1868), USA citizenship had never really been legally defined, and so it would be natural to consider the several States in defining it themselves, and thus having one's allegiance to his State was the proper course of action. I say this as someone carrying the Y-chromosome of a private serving one of the States of the Confederacy. :eek:
