"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.

Your thoughts on the latest abortion ruling

"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.

Deflection. What about it?
“States rights” we all know what it really means.
Not much for a sense of humor, eh? Oh well.
States rights exist so people in New York and Iowa can't tell each other what to do, they can each have their own laws, up to a point.
By the way, forget the identity politics, it's the biggest poison this country has ever had.

Oh yeah? Well, what about when the states legalize marijuana, while it's still a crime at the federal level?

Drops mic. /end thread.

Ashcroft v Raiche declared that handing a bag of weed to your neighbor, even if you grew it yourself and charged no money, substantially affected interstate commerce enough to be declared the jurisdiction of the federal government under the interstate commerce clause. The fact that such activity is neither interstate, nor commerce, did not matter. The feds still retain jurisdiction to lock up every legal med pot patient, but simply choose to not do so. They still can if they want to, the states have no right to object in a constitutional sense. So state's rights are not relevant to that situation.

... every time you have a wank or if a woman ovulates, it’s potential down the drain. We don’t weep over flushed semen.
…8Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.” 9But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother. 10What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.…

Some people use that passage as an example of masturbation being sinful, although what really is at issue is that Onan is cheating his brother. In any case, semen is not a fetus, nor is ovulation.
 

"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.

You would have more credibility posting passages from a JR Tolkien novel.
Tolkien himself was a devout Christian, and his faith was intrical to his work on Middle Earth.
