"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.

How possible is it, do you think, that somewhere in the leaks you should find on things like 9/11 being fake (if it was)? They're like hundreds of thousands of leaks, there should be something on the major conspiracies. Although no amount of proof will be enough for the disbeliever or the believer, respectively.
 

"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 think the leaked messages were all well below the security level of "top secret." The guy's followers are holding on to one encrypted file that they call "insurance." Supposedly, that has the good stuff in it. The file is encrypted with a 256-key code that, once again supposedly, even the NSA can't crack

Interesting. I would love for them to come out with top secret UFO files. That would make my day

It won't. Pretty much everything he has released had already been known by some alternative media or another. It makes me think if there is not some other alternative motive at work here. I don't know.

I too think they're not releasing the REALLY hot stuff. Maybe for insurance, maybe they're selling it or whatever.

The stuff you can read now is interesting, but it's nothing really new.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I think the two most disturbing things about this situation are:

1) The US response. **** freedom of speech and the press, it looks bad on us let's freak out!

2) That there is some terrible **** in here, and people are just shrugging it off and saying, "nothing new".

For example, a Texas company was involved in pimping out little Afghan boys and the government is aware of this.

The US illegally spies on UN diplomats.

And lots more.

Maybe it's all stuff we knew or suspected before, but the question is, now that there's proof, why are we not making a big ****ing deal about it? This sort of thing should not be par for the course.

Shell Oil brags about infiltrating the Nigerian government with their own paid "representantives".

Various unreleased video footage and testimony that is not supposed to exist from the twin towers disaster. Interviews with firefighters and workers. Maybe it's got value, who knows.

etc.

There's lots of dirt which should have been covered by the domestic media, but they're too busy sucking government members off to do some actual reporting.

You are learning fast.

If you dig a little, you'll figure out why there has been no dope on Israel and why there won't be.

What if Wikileaks is actually government released or sponsored to be released by a certain group. By making the whole fiasco with Assange, the government cements his credibility and Wikileak's crediblity and no one will question it because why else would the government interfere and try to shut it down so badly? For all we know everything in Wikileaks is set-up and not as true or painting the full picture as we are led to believe.

It may have been unknown to some people, but some of this is genuinely old news for others.

And how could there be news on israel when they own the worlds media?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
