"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.

So like, is it time to buy Rubles to make some cash?

Rubles are now backed by gold and the Rubles to USD ratio is quickly rising to pre-war levels. Anyone wanna gamble a little?
 

"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.

How you supposed to buy Rubles with the sanctions blocking it?
How you supposed to buy Rubles via FOREX when you have to buy blocks of 10,000 at minimum? Which, right now, this morning would require $7000.00 cash to do?

That's potentially like buying a lottery ticket that you can't cash out, depending on what stupid sh!t the US government decides to do next. Yes it is quite a gamble
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I took a 15% hit to my portfolio by trying to knife-catch Russia this last go-round. Of course, I'd been successful a few times in the past, so I basically gave back those winnings. :(

Fortunately, cannabis is about to explode, and I got in early. :).

I don't think I'd touch Russia for a long time - and that includes the dyevs :(.

The Gov will step in on Bitcoin and any Crypto as well. People are going to get a rude awakening who think they are safe with it. Just ask the Canadian Truckers. Actually the Canadian Truckers should have used Rubles,...the Gov may have had a harder time getting in the way.

This is how black markets are born. In the soviet union, alcohol was used as an alternative currency from everything from buying cigarettes to houses. And then alcoholism went on to basically destroy the country.

But the moral of the story is that people will find a way around any kind of stupid regulation a government puts into place. There are already platforms out there like telegram which are decentralized and built around privacy. These will probably be the wave of the future since what is now old-school internet has just become another giant corporate hell hole.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Read up about a telegram a bit more. It's not decentralized nor built around privacy. The owners have a plain text copy of every message ever sent.

Any app that wants traceable information to create an account is a problem. Telegram requires your cell number that is text-able to create the account and uses the phone number as your "log in". Your cell phone is intrinsically tied to you (and your bank account if using autopay) via your phone service provider (and Google or Apple) and your phone is a means to know exactly where you are and what your travel patterns are via the GPS in the phone.

Interesting that "Multi-Factor Authentication" that is supposed to be so amazingly secure more often than not uses your cell phone. Yes, yes, that makes it hard from someone else to fake themselves as you,...but it is horrible from a privacy perspective.

I just work in technology,...doesn't mean I trust the technology,... or who/what is behind it "pulling the levers".
