"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

After reading about the death of Dith Pran about a week ago, I rented the movie that was based on his life: The Killing Fields. It is a very good movie and I would recommend it. It is amazing to me how evil humans can be to each other.

Dith Pran lived through things that just boggle the mind.

Here is some info on him for those who don’t know much about him:

"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.

It is considered a Top 10 movie for people very much into photography. Harsh yet unparalleled.

i've beent here

it really is quite dull. its just a bunch of paths and big holes in the ground, some of these holes have water in them

sometimes when you look down, you can see people bones buried in the dirt along the paths.

if you go to S21, headquaters, where they tortured people in the rooms, its more daunting.

it was a small room, and they ****ty bloody stained beds, and instrumetns of beating lying around

pretty horrific to think that many peopel got tortured so badly
