"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Just curious what everyone else thinks.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Most definitely. I'm guessing but hoping that it will not be "The West vs Iran, Iraq (and other Muslim countries), Russia and China.

Japan would probably be on the Wests side, hopefully they got operational Gundams by now :D

If nukes get used we are all dead.

Sweet links fuzzx. Maybe I've seen a bit too many giant robot animes but I seriously believe that mobile suits are the future of war :whistle:

I like the newest one, Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The concept is very interesting, a heavily armed group sets out with the goal of ending all conflict, all wars. It would be very useful in todays world. It would end this stupid Iraq war.

With the way Japan is progressing with robotics I don't think that an actual, movable, combat ready mobile suit is very far off. I would die if the first one was codenamed RX-78 :crackup:

Depends. The only thing I could see causing a world war is fighting over dwindling energy supplies. I can't imagine anything else plunging the whole planet into a war. If we can find some alternate source of energy for cheap, I think a world war will not happen. But if we continue on the path of dwindling oil supplies with all the powerful nations taking a grab at what's left, WW III is very likely at some point.

I doubt we'll see a world war, but I suspect we'll see a lot of very ferocious local wars as more and more nations develop sophisticated military forces, potentially including nukes.
