"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.

This is starting to get crazy...want to build muscle? Pretty soon you might be able to simply eat a tomato to load up on BCAAs...

They increased BCAAs, including leucine, the most important amino acid and the one the body uses as a marker for knowing protein levels, between 9-64x normal...

Coming soon to a store near you...

 

"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.

My issue with genetically modifying foods is not in the chemistry, but in the fact that increasing nutrient composition disrupts the food’s biological packaging. I don’t want to pay more for a tomato that’s added nutrients I am either going to piss out or cause my blood mineral contents to get too high based on interactions with other fortified foods.

Yeah humans always think we know better than nature but usually find out a few decades later that they don't due to things they never even knew interacted with each other until much later.

Kinda like with skim milk...turns out the fat is actually there for a reason...to prevent the milk sugars from spiking insulin levels to all hell.
