"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.

You can't separate those two things, chief. Trust me fellow, everyone wants to do what is in their personal interests, and, generally speaking, they don't give a damn how it affects everyone else. Look, that's human nature.
I agree, that's why we have gov as I wrote:Gov. (justice) should ensure that individual rights don't collide-fair trade, not polluting your neighbor etc....

You have to have an impartial third-party group seeing to it, as you said, that individual rights don't collide. That's where government comes in. I think you are a bit unfair to just presume that public servants only make decisions based on votes. If that were the case, wouldn't every politician just be for whatever issue is most popular in straw polls?
Public servants have to follow Constitution, so they don't side with 51% and rob or shoot 49%.

Its also human nature to want to be "cake-eaters". What the "right-wingers" never think about is while they are all screaming for individual rights, it apparently never occurs to them what will happen when EVERYONE ELSE also has individual rights, that won't coincide with their own.
I'm not following here, being right wing, please explain:wave:

You mean forced solidarity...giving money to one big pot, so cake-eaters can get some cakes?

Or do you mean social rights? That is tricky. Having social rights is eroding individual rights, bc you have to use force to have social rights. And you make injustice, bc you give the money to someone only...who cries the loudest...unions etc.
 

"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.
