"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Or at least that's what the US government would like you to believe. They bullied the DNS company which was pointing the domain to wikileaks IP, but its still alive and kicking

Pass it on people, don't let truth be silenced!
 

"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.

Wait, stop. DNS is a distributed database system, even if they bully one of the organizations in charge of one of the root nodes, there's are plenty others where it could be found, so don't worry about it, that's not how they could possibly shut down Wikileaks.

Maybe something else is the problem? Perhaps they're changing servers and it takes more than a day to update information on DNS servers? A server change is plausible, seeing as they will have a lot more traffic coming in and that "Jester" hacker has been targeting them with DDoS attacks.

well amazon dropped them but I think someone else is going to pick up the tab. They might be going through the transfer which is why its down.

I am going on day old news, so could be wrong.
 

"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.

Apparently the US bullied their domain provider into discontinuing their service. You can now find them at wikileaks.ch

What we are seeing is a game of cat and mouse here.. actually more like a game of a thousand rabid leopards chasing a blonde gerbil. You know which one I'm rooting for.

Actually, one of the transfers is from an European server to another in Ecuador, facilitated by Rafael Correa, their president, who offered extra servers for them. Latinamerica operates under a very different root server, which takes a long time to refresh. The amazon cloud services could not host them any longer due to pressure from the GOP, which is pretty understandable, I don't want my documents in servers in my own country if I can help it.

Don't be so quick in screaming bloody murder. Sometimes, the explanation is way simpler.

Man that is some shady sh*t right there. I really dont like how they used the downtime to gain publicity and point a finger at the US. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Thanks for posting that NYG - I still believe that government transparency is a necessity for a truly free society, but it's good to have a balanced view of the situation.

Seems there are no saints in the cut-throat realm of information warfare.
