"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.

No.. vaping can NOT "deliver toxic metals like nickel and lead into your lungs." (No, that's not metal *long pause* in your lungs)

What, just because a black kid says it, that automatically makes it true?

Give me a break

Just to be clear, I don't vape, but propaganda disgusts me.

In the 30s they told people that weed causes insanity and was made by Satan or.. something.

Growing up we were told that people were gonna try to pressure us into drinking/smoking as part of some agenda that didn't exist.

Now this inhaling metal ****.

Nobody with a brain wants to hear it anymore.. especially from someone who looks like he belongs on a "notliketheotherminorities" subreddit that would be absolutely hilarious if it existed.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Cbd and thc vapes are made from cannabis extracted with a solvent, then that material is mixed with a different goo from china to make the viscosity right. (The same goo is in nicotine vapes.) It's fine when done right, but there are several possibilities for contamination. Plant growth regulator hormones are popular with growers because they make the buds look swollen and fat. They also lower thc and, even better, make the plant suck up heavy metals from the soil. Whatever is in the weed gets extracted, that can also include pesticides, once again, same with tobacco.

As I understand it the entire inhaling metal in whatever solution a person vapes evolves from the fact that a thin wire is electrified to produce the heat for vapor production.

Choosing the wrong vaporizer from China with a substandard metal element combined with the wrong vape liquid base plus usage time can result in chromium or whatever other metal derivative being in what is inhaled…

Some time last year I saw an anti-vaping commercial which claimed that a risk of vaping is heavy metal poisoning.

It turned out that the producers of the commercial applied an environmental standard for if every single breath you took throughout your entire day was vaping.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

This I'd believe over any scientific article some **** tries to shove in my face.

This is correct. There is a very tiny amount of metals released from the coil of a vape, but with typical use it's well below safety limits. Metals are everywhere, in the air, in food and a range of other things we're exposed to. If you're eating with a stainless steel fork you're essentially licking a miniscule amount of nickel off it every time.

Yes, some smoking products are worse than others but at the end of the day, your lungs is not a filter.
Don’t smoke or vape.

I totally get where you're coming from. It's hard to know what to believe these days, especially with all the conflicting info out there. About the whole metals in vaping thing, I always try to dig a bit deeper and look at actual research instead of just going off what's being said online or in the media.

Interesting, I'd never heard that before. I don't vape, but it's never made sense to me why vaping would be more harmful than smoking cigarettes, because with cigarettes you're actually inhaling smoke including who knows how many particles? But you're saying it's not the vape, it's the vaporizer. That makes sense.

Anything you put in your lungs that is not oxygen isn't good for you, simple fact, to try and refute that is a state of denial.

..... that said, I prefer flowers.
 

"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.

Vaxxing, not vaping, is what delivers those toxic metals.

The metal concern with vaping isn’t about the liquid, it’s the vape coil. Cheap or low-quality coils can release trace metals like nickel or chromium when heated. It’s a materials issue, not a conspiracy.

There are different coil types depending on the device: https://ecigone.co.uk/collections/coils-pods

Vaccines are a separate topic and kind of off-track here.
