"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

The responsibility falls on the U.S. Federal government. No more excuses.
I'm just saying that event happening is why we have 200k deaths. Those orders issued by governors.

I will say this this, and there are many other examples. Coworker that caught Covid wears her mask properly. Obviously doesn't wear mask at home. Her husband kids didn't catch it despite contact with her. Seriously, any theories on this?

Nope. I’d rather not anyone get COVID-19.
You can bet your bottom dollar that if the shoe was on the other foot and if this was Obama's Presidency I would be hollering day and night about how dangerous COVID is, and how it's a travesty that he let 200,000 Americans die. And you would be saying he was placed in an impossible situation and capping the death toll at 200K was an amazing accomplishment.....

The previous administration successfully contained outbreaks H1N1 and Ebola without letting either explode domestically. Again, governments of the developed world managed to curtail COVID-19 without the massive death toll and completely wrecking their economies. The U.S. has failed on COVID19. Calling 200,000+ deaths an accomplishment is spitting on a lot of graves.
 

"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.

I do not believe Hillary Clinton would have handled COVID any better.

Many more will. None of the dead will be revived, though.
I graduated into the Great Recession. I could argue that my career has never really recovered by 2008. COVID has been a double beating upon my career.

Hillary Clinton is not President.
You are making an argument in support of the Democratic Party.

I'm not pleased with the whole COVID thing. It's severely interrupted my life and caused me massive trauma.

Something funny is happening in Europe right now, most of the countries have strong limitations and guidelines that needs to be followed while at the same time we have illegal immigrants coming through westerne asia and northern africa that despite testing positive in most of the cases are not only allowed inside but kept with minimum surveillance, I read of daily escapes from hosting structures.

What do we say about women? dont listen at them but watch their actions, should we do the same with those in command?

Regarding masks, I totally support it for the simple fact that they protect from many diseases and I hope they will be mandatory for the following months since most people regardless covid19 fail to observe basic hygiene norms while dealing with others.

Next the funny thing is the in the Us, people is concerned from the pandemics but apparently believes that gathering with other low lifes to waste public property does not pose a danger to the general health...guess corona is kneeling too and raising his fist.

I'm afraid many people got the movie idiocracy as a "how to" life manual....oh btw churches are working, probably the virus gets banned from the house of god too, the cross works on both vampires and viruses.

Facts matter. Leadership matters. Party is irrelevant. A competent, science driven administration wouldn’t need to try to spin having the highest death toll in the world.
 

"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.

For now, Europe must NOT take in ANY migrants, to contain the spread of covid 19.

In fact no country should take in any migrants.

Thats what mentally sane people keeps saying but the reply they get is "shut up fascist they run away from war".

If that was for me I would totally share current lithuanian policies, anyone getting inside needs to prove a negative test result and despite that needs to self quarantine for 14 days with harsh punishment for transgressors.

how you will test everyone if there is not enough tests for everyone? even if the situation on that is better now, there is still not enough
Exactly my point
 

"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.

You WILL be exposed. It’s inevitable. The virus is never going to die off any more than the flu or other viruses. Building a natural immunity to the virus is your only hope, if you are a doom sayer.
When it mutates, your immune system will be closer to the mutation’s new configuration. This is how the human body is designed. It is designed to survive.
This is exactly my thinking. We can never get rid of it and anything else is just buying time or a bandaid at best outside of anitbodies.

And now he's been admitted to Walter Reed. This is moving quickly. Fingers crossed he's ok after all he is a father and husband.
