"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I didnt realize this thread was so active. I was just reading this on another board. If you are there, maybe it will help. Good luck to anyone who chooses to ride this out in place.

Scrolling around Friday (so not Friyay), we kept seeing advice about how to stay as safe as possible when Hurricane Irma rips through South Florida (H/T @Cata Balzano)

One really useful —and super easy — pro tip: Shut the doors.

According to the info packed website disastersafety.org, you need to close all the doors in your house. We’re talking bathrooms, closets, laundry rooms. Every one of them, inside and out. The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety — which conducts studies in order to help consumers strengthen their homes and businesses against natural disasters and other causes of loss — found that during such intense hurricanes as Irma winds can rip through a house and cause immense upward pressure on the roof.Closing interior doors helps compartmentalize the pressure and cut down on the force on the structure that keeps your house intact — the roof.

“The roof is your first line of defense against anything Mother Nature inflicts on a home, and during a bad storm your roof endures fierce pressure from wind, rain, and flying debris that may be outside,” said Julie Rochman, IBHS president and CEO. “But the roof also must withstand internal pressure if winds get inside. The pressure in your home can build like air in a balloon, eventually causing the roof to fail and blow apart, which – particularly in a hurricane – allows water to come pouring in.”

Other great tips provided by the Disaster Safety site include check doors, windows, and walls for openings where water can get in. “Use silicone caulk to seal any cracks, gaps, or holes– especially around openings where cables and pipes enter the house.”

What's interesting in illianois? From your window?

Where is this picture from? It looks like a place on the Illinois River not too horribly far from where I live.

My mother is actually flying back down today with my sister. Looks like the only damage was a small tree in the yard.

I was sceptical when I first heat about this thing, I forgot now when and from where. It looked liked it would go west. They always exagerate things on the news, it's bussiness. But on the other hand, if it hits, it's like sh1t will hit the fan, it will be nasty. In your case, condo, forget about everything, and stay in it. On the other hand if you have a house, you have to be thinking what kind of house, concrete, drywall, if latter, then move, otherwise fvck it.

P.S. Nobody in Russia builds a house from drywall, it's stupid. We do have wood tho.

Homes in Texas are typically wood framed and then insulated, with brick on the outside and drywall on the inside. Drywall on the inside is then textured and painted to be appealing. Maybe there is drywall framing both sides of the insulation, I'm not sure.

Anyways, homes here are made out of brick, wood and drywall. Not just drywall.
 

"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.
