"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.

"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 just pop the pc version of the cd in a mac and expect it to work.

I think there is some way to emulate a pc on a mac which would allow you to play pc games, but I hate macs with a passion and thus have never taken the time to figure out how. Maybe someone else can help.

Aaaah Total War series rocks! Can't wait for Empires! The other RTS companies should shut their shutters and go home.

sell it and buy a PC is you want to play games

i also hate Macs, why havn't they gone redundant by now?

and the Total War series is very different to other RTS's, there will always be a spot for more diversity, such as Dawn of War and CoH style play, and the traditional recouse gathering CnC and Starcraft style of play

you can dual-boot on a mac. as in you can install windows on it and play your game. they have intel chips now so its the same as running it on a pc.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

The Mac doesn't have enough memory. The memory is too slow. It needs a videocard. The CPU is slow. And the screen is not 24-bit. Its only 6-bit. Able to display about 200,000-300,000 color. It simulates 24-bit color by the use of patterns which looks like crap.


Get a real computer. Not some glossy, ridiculously overpriced novelty.
