Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"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.

Offload your data to some other storage, make sure it's formatted in a way Linux will read easily. A USB attached drive is a cheap solution. If you're into games Linux isn't going to serve you well, or if you absolutely need to collaborate with peole who use MS Office.

Outside that it's a really nice system, I use it on my servers all the time.

Because Linux is hardly suitable as desktop.



To install Linux I'd buy a new hard drive, remove my old hard drive, and install Linux onto new hard drive..

Not a bad plan. There are a lot of people hwho use linux as a workstation OS, it depends on what role your 'desktop' serves. I know several who even play Warcraft on it, but more advanced or less popular games are gonna be a real PITA.

If you need Office you can run it, but if you're gonna pay for Office you might as well save yourself some trouble and just run Windows.

I used it for a long time as a backup OS in case my Windows locked up and I needed access to files on my hard drive -- which happened more than once.
Not to get too technical here, but you should look into partitioning off a part of your hard drive and installing a LILO onto the master boot sector (I think that's what it's called). I haven't done any computer stuff for a few years since I discovered my real life :)

Linux also has a great advantage for Internet users/servers: Many widely distributed viruses will not have any effect on the system.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
