I have thousands of roms. Come at me bro.

Emulators are straight-up awesome. They've been my friend since the mid-to-late 90s.

A $1500 expense that's unexpected is going to impact most people's liquidity. If you're sensible, you've got some money set aside for unplanned expenses, but if you use that money, you've got to refill the kitty. Skipping a few meals eaten out is a great way to do that.

A person must be very desperate for a cold can of soda. I looked on Staples website, and a can of compressed air cost $7. Why not try ice?

Whitson, you forgot the one you can never downgrade without getting absolutely pissed off about: speedy internetz! xD

Gross. Other than a coat/jacket or gloves it's absolutely disgusting to wear a piece of clothing for multiple days without washing it—ESPECIALLY an undergarment. That's just gross.

Credit cards are for suckers. If you play with snakes, you will be bitten.

What? Not if you read the text—it's a photo of whiskey—which is perfectly applicable to the words beneath

Toured through 7 countries in Europe this summer. Paris was clearly the leader in the most attempted scams witnessed. Bracelet guys, survey people, rose sales, street games, found ring, and pick pockets (including one purse snatching while in a church). Westminster Bridge in London near the London Eye was a distant…

I used to go to Russia occasionally for work. There was a scam there where a guy bumps into you and drops his wallet. If you pick it up, he thanks you and takes it back, but then yells at you for taking cash out. Nearby cops (who are in on the deal) will come and threaten to throw you in jail if you don't give the guy…

No, its just that most of the people that are handling your food items (especially as they are grown in the fields) are migrant workers ... it would be stupid to say "Monsanto CEO feces" or "Investment Banker feces" or "Web developer feces" when referring to commercially grown organic vegetables now wouldn't it? But…

Also, how does this have anything to do with race? Are we not allowed to mention common themes from certain cities/countries?

Beware of pickpockets in public transportation.

while visiting Rome, a fellow asked me for the time in English and I told him. Then he started a friendly conversation saying he was just returning from working in USA and loved Rome and began pointing out interesting things.

The CD scam is also in the Bay Area (around the UC Berkeley campus). Usually two or three guys will be handing out their music on CDs in an attempt to get you to take it. Usually, they try to just tell you to take it to listen to it but once you do, a few other guys will approach and insist that since you took it, you…

This is good to know. I just got back from Nigeria and had a wonderful (and potentially lucrative) conversation with recently deposed royalty there. I'll let you know how that works out, as soon as I wire transfer some money to him.

Your paying 4x less for a non-local item is a false economy. They use a factory to make the stuff, they pay their workers as little as possible and oftentimes it's workers in another country, too, where there are fewer labor and environmental protections. People in this country need to *make a living*. They are not…

Organic agriculture uses biologically-based pesticides (except for the copper-based fungicides, which are still pretty basic [no pun intended] chemically), and those will wash off of the harvest and not persist in the environment.

Conventional agriculture uses natural-gas- and petroleum-based pesticides BECAUSE they…

give me a break, I'm using Flickr here, not a photographer I'm sending out to arrange whiskey on a shelf specifically for this article

Artisinal Pencil Sharpening, however, is totally worth it.
