"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.

Russian Coup in progress?!?

"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 way can this 'coup' win that guy is signing a death warrant if he tries to fight putin for actual power. This is just some attention-seeking behaviour I think he is not stupid enough to think he can control russia.
 

"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.

The move will clean out some of the questionable top brass of Russian Military with Putin staying out of it, so maybe there was some plan to clean up Russian military top brass but those are beneath Putin and Putin can now remove them without anyone blaming him so it should increase his power.

"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.

There is a possibility Putin did a false flag to root out staff that wasn’t loyal to him. We will never know the truth one way or another…

It’s irrelevant what you think of CNN, the news was in multiple euro outlets including RT.

I do find it peculiar that folks dismiss news outlets that don’t align with their world view, labeling it fake, but hey to each their own.

I don't believe anything media puts out during wartimes.. Propaganda is a word our media never mentions, but we're the purveyor of the most propaganda ever here in the USA and the UK/France/Spain/Italy (Allied Nations)

I mean we tried to convince the world that VIetnamese people were cannibals who ate and raped women and children to justify that war.

We also created this whole idea that arabs/Muslims are terrorist's and bomb sht, when not only have their countries not started any wars, not any more of their people have caused terror in foreign countries more than CHristians/Europeans/whites, but the western Europeans/AMericans have bombed more **** than any of them.. including 2 major cities in Japan with an Atomic bomb, countless places in the middle east, killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, destabilized whole regions, whole economies, not only in the middle east but in places like Cuba, Bolivia, Venezuela, Libya, etc etc

To this day, Muslims and Arabs have some of the best statistics out of any other race in major countries like US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, etc. their countries that havent been wrecked are statistic utopias on Earth
 

"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.

Very logical assumption there. Putin obviously has a problem with his military leadership, proven by this conflicts length, the involvement of mercenaries, and known munition shortages…

This whole thing played out in Russias favour, I believe it has all been orchestrated by them to get Western media to put the story out which has the benefits of moving the narrative away from the Ukraine war, thus in ppls minds ending the conflict, shows Russia and Putin in a strong position which also means ppl associate them with winning the war, and also removes and humbles troublesome elements in the establishment.

Just curious, what do you all think about the chances that this conflict could escalate into World War III / Nuclear War?

It was easier for Russia to invade itself than to invade Ukraine. They're an obvious third rate power.

Nevertheless that general dude is headed for poisontown. Better hire a food taster.
