"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.

The US is too cool to be like the rest of the world. They're special. Honest.
 

"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.

My biggest complaint is that I grew up solely with the metric system, but we still use SI for a lot of things.

Actaully, SI is another name for the metric system.

I think you mean to contrast SI/metric units with customary/imperial units.

Actually, unless my memory mistakes me, SI is an international standard of measurements used in science and engineering. Depending on what you are measuring (i.e., rotational force, energy, volume, work, momentum, temperature, etc...) you use a certain unit of measurment (i.e. joules, grams, newtons, kelvins, cm, etc...) not exclusively metric. It just so happens most SI units are metric.

Though I will admit, I could be wrong.

Many Americans do use the metric system virtually every day, especially those in public schools. There, they learn vital knowledge regarding the proper methods of measuring and paying for grams and ounces. :rolleyes:

The reason its still around is because its always been around. It's just easier to keep it than to ask EVERYONE to change it.


But I got to admit. I thik it's a horrible system with all those fractions. Decimals are easir to make sense of than: What's bigger? 3/5 or 9/16?

Duuhhhhh.........



I'm stll thinking.

3/5 ;)

It just depends what you've grown up with. The systems each person has grown up with have become second nature, it's difficult to curb habits that are built into your brains hardware.

The term for the system used in the USA is the 'US customary units' based on the old English Imperial System.

The International System incorporates the metric amongst other things.

We have it f*** up in the UK, as we use both.
