Leisure Suit Larry was hilarious. I heard other guys talk about this game, but I never actually played it. I got the new Zelda Skyward Sword for Wii as a Christmas present so I'm off to rescue the princess haha!
"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.
Our generation was doomed from the start lol
- Thread starter backbreaker
- Start date
"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.

The aforementioned kid in a bathtub, who struggles when his head is held under water, does not do so out of any "instinct" or otherwise supposed form of automatic knowledge; he struggles as a response to pain.Zodiac said:
Though without any contextual understanding of his experience, he feels pain, which is a barometer of one's well-being. So it is through his senses that he detects danger against his life and acts to avoid it, which means: through a process of reason.
I do not believe that man possesses any "instinctive" knowledge. Everything man can know must be acquired willfully by the effort of his mind and through his five senses.
Modern psychology and psycho-epistemology have made thorough attempts to reduce man to the level of a pre-programmed biological robot, and I can see that they have mostly succeeded.
I reject the game movement's obsession with biocentrism, you do not know how much you are stunting your own mind when you reduce the achievements of the mind to a series of chemical reactions or "reinforced behaviors".
