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!
"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.
Our generation was doomed from the start lol

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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".
