Things are lining up. Some retards will fall for it.. again.

The IDF is more a threat to the US Navy than Persia, China, or Russia ever was. Besides, the Persians didn't bite during Gaza, I seriously doubt they'll bite now. At first, I thought it was because the Chinese, Russians, or their own people were keeping things calm, but I forget that from top to bottom, whether young, or old, Shiite, Sunni, or other, everyone in the region absolutely hates Israel with a passion that burns brighter than a thousand suns and it's been interesting to see how absolutely laser focused that hatred can manifest itself. You could take out the entire topmost military command of any Arab country, and it would still maintain it's focus to hammer Israel in the ground, while sorting out the appropriate promotions.

While the clowns here are moaning about Israel, I've otherwise noticed more interesting things in my neck of the woods. Firearms sales in the US have plateaued and it might soon be legal to own a sawed off shotgun in Texas. I'm curious as to what specifically has prompted this particular move for Texas government to want to liberate Texans in this way. Argentina's also looking to legalize previously banned firearms, which is interesting. I'm sincerely curious where this might be heading, especially with what's going on in the world.

Texting strategy is wrong?

First and foremost im well aware of the only text for logistics but is there any nuance to texting?

For example I lose a lot of girls on the first one or two texts and I don’t have anything to compare it to in terms of response rate, idk if its me or normal. Almost all of these girls who I’ve texted have already agreed to a date.

I literally just say hey it x from so and so where we met. They reply whats I up i give a short answer about what im doing ask hbu and then 3-4 texts having a convo then confirm the plans.

But I lose so many girls simply by saying im doing x wbu. I dont know if im being vague or boring or whatever. I recently read OmLaLa post about texting and saying as few words as possible, but im thinking nowadays girls are so overstimulated that they cant keep there attention on anything that isnt entertaining them.

Is there any merit in sending a more interesting text and then after rapport toning it down.Im not sure if this is just part of the churn. I’ve kind of become jaded now assuming they just met a guy they like better but its just such a dropoff I assume this is the result of infinite options on their end.

Do yall ever give second chances as well as I gain more experience Ive kinda stopped trying again and just pursue a diff girl.

Edit: Title is referring to my texting strategy not overall texting strategy

Study the book. Use it to help inform your approach going forward. Any further input from us until you've actually done this and seen positive results would be a waste of our time and yours.

The suggestion you refrain from texting is solid practical advice. Others already explained why you should limit texting females to logistics for dates, but you're clearly determined to do your own thing. I doubt it will deliver all the positive outcomes you maybe seeking, but it's your life to live. Best of luck to you out there.

Google is censoring searches about "juneteenth." Think about the implications of such a large organization whose main value proposition is to connect search terms with the results people are looking for, and then blacking out entire ideas because they might come to a conclusion contrary to the new religion.

In a rational, objective world, this is business suicide. Your product is proudly proclaiming it is unable to achieve even its most basic of functions.

To the new religion, this is standard behavior and makes complete sense inside their framework.

For any sane, rational adult, this is as clear as a signal as you can get that this organization hates you and deems their religion more important than your access to information. They will always side against you. Act accordingly.

And yes, that's google telling me that there were only 2 results for my "juneteenth" query that had hundreds just a day before.

The religion of the Left has this pet theory that if you allow yourself to be exposed to ideas, you will adopt those ideas uncritically, no matter what the ideas are.

It's a useful model for them, they avoid right-leaning arguments because they have little in the way of counter-arguments for them, and they may be swayed, which must be avoided at all cost.

But the theory doesn't really hold up for non-Leftist new religious nutjobs.

I keep seeing troons, lgbt, feminism, and nonsensical Leftist ideals in movies, television, and on social media and none of it comports with my observations and experience. Without a convincing argument to explain why I should believe my eyes and ears are lying to me, I have to assume what I observe is true, and that they are the ones lying.

Adopting a worldview by osmosis only works for idiots.

LTR of 5 years - Haven’t talked in 3+ weeks

Need some advice here. I said something rude to my LTR of 5 years about 4 weeks ago. I didn’t realize it hurt her and she brought it up a few days later. I see now this was probably a shit test and I took it way too seriously, you live and learn. I called her, listened, apologized and have been trying to move on since then. Looking back I DEER’d a bit too much during the convo but overall I thought it went fine for the most part. I didn’t lose frame too much, I tried to keep it brief, own it sincerely, and then moved on.

Anyways she’s all pissed about it still, feels like my apology wasn’t real, and we haven’t been talking in 3+ weeks now. So far I’ve been just going about doing my own thing, STFU and working towards my goals - lifting, work, hobbies, etc. Every 4-5 days I’ve been inviting her to go do something to try and get things going again. Simple invites like “I’m thinking of hiking here at x time, you wanna come?” I’ve been keeping the convos light and brief. Everything’s been getting shut down and no effort from her to fix, talk, or meet up about anything. Kind of at a loss to what I should do now, I mean 5 years is a long time to be together so I don’t want to really call it quits. But if it comes to that, it is what it is and I’m prepared mentally it could break.

My plan right now is to go total no contact until she reaches out to make something happen. This might break things completely but I don’t see another option that doesn’t come across as needy.

Any other suggestions here? I see my only options as: total no contact until she reaches out to make something happen. Literally go show up at her door and get this shit over with (beta but at least it gets sorted out). Or somewhere in the middle, like texting her something like, “when you’re ready to talk or see each other let me know”.

Consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.

Iran could have surrendered its nuclear program

This represents a simplistic and very dull mainstream take on the topic.

Iran has been fully cooperative with IAEA inspectors. Trump's own National Security advisor told him clearly that no evidence exists that Iran is currently, or has going back to the early 2000s, working on any kind of nuclear weapons program.

You know what nation in the region is NOT compliant with IAEA and other standards about a large undeclared nuclear arsenal that they possess? Israel.

Israel's unprovoked attack on Iran in the midst of Iran cooperating with international inspectors, goes to show that perhaps Iran SHOULD have possessed a nuclear weapon as a deterrent!

Now Pakistan has stepped in, to announce to Israel that they will use their own atomic weapons on Israel if it uses any on Iraq.

Are you really sure about supporting Israel's actions here??? Have you thought the situation through and looked deeper than what MSM is saying about this developing situation?
