"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.

"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.

Maybe now companies will stop using Windows for enterprise/server needs...lmfao what clowns. You can keep a Linux server running for 15 years straight without needing to reboot.

I read an article today, that stats from Microsoft said that only 1% of computers/servers were effected. Amazing how such a global outage can be caused by so few computers.

Unlikely. Windows is much more user friendly. Linux is CLI based which means you need someone with a lot of experience and knowledge to be able to effectively run them versus Windows servers with a GUI that is much more user friendly and doesn't require as much experience and knowledge.

Windows based servers are also much more easily integrated with the other Microsoft products that most of these companies are using as well.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I can't argue that second point since OSS is garbage and proprietary/enterprise Windows software is unquestionably better...

Is it really that hard to find qualified Linux sys/network admins though?

Give me a UNIX kernel any day of the week. Linux has come a long way, a very long way - but I run a Mac m2pro, looking into a m3 ultra as soon as the pocketbook allows. More stable, more curated OS by far. BSOD’s are common in Winblows never had anything like it on MacOS, or Linux, even back when I was compiling my own kernels, leaving out all kinds of crap I didn’t need to make the kernel smaller and tons faster.

Crazy just how vulnerable our global IT systems are and how they are so interlinked.

Everything from equity markets, hospitals and airlines are shut down as well as some banks and other places due to a bad update that was pushed out by Crowdstrike which is a global IT security company.

Willing to bet some people are jobless after that one...
