My best friend moonlighted as a hospital security guard while in college. They received training in holds and takedowns, because the facility had a lockdown psych ward and “lively” ER.

SPCA all the way!

They should just drop the whole “having pets is wrong” position. Pet owners are the mostly like people to back PETA’s other causes. I believe in much of what PETA’s about. But when they hint that I’m a jerk for having a dog?

Dump a can of hormels chili in there and Bob’s yer uncle.

I’m all about Retro when on the road. On the road right now, with my corporate laptop loaded to the gills with retroarch & roms. Plus shaders to make it all look like I’m playing on a fuzzy 1982 TV. Played some Phantasy Star (Sega Master System) last night.

They could close every episode with, “In Beijing, they serve it as food”. Now I’ve never been, but I have been to Shanghai several times, have visited restaurants, and talked to locals about this very issue. Suffice it to say, if it moves, they eat it, and, like, every part of it.

Right - the image on a tablet is great. Their terrific to hold, and look at. Maybe occasionally swipe at. But holding and constantly poking at them is a bit uncomfortable for extended periods.

I’d strap a box jellyfish to my head if it meant I would actually feel like I’m inside an Elder Scrolls game.

Thing is: until and unless science finds a way to push visual information into the brain while bypassing the eyes (which would also be the end of blindness as a thing), VR will have to put stuff into the eyeballs, and block out outside info. Something like this or smaller maybe the best we could hope for (swimmers…

Yeah, and I like gross shit. Yuck, I’m ill. Had to stop after 2.

10 years ago I was taken to a hostess bar in Kabukicho by a local colleague. His English was only so-so, and he said something about going to a place "with girls". I told him, "No thank you - I'm a married guy." And he said, "Don't worry."

I didn't watch the video - what does Ric Okasek of the Cars have to say on this subject?

Same thing here - only I was 24. Was given a 485sx/25 with 4MB. Kept upgrading it. First with sound/dc room, then RAM, then a 486dx/50, then more RAM.

The amount of time spent on graphics supersedes gameplay mechanics

It's universally true that men are more desperate than women when it comes to dating. A decent-looking guy has to work harder than a decent-looking woman. That's just the nature of things. So it stands to reason that it applies not just to the 8's and 9's, but also the 3's and 2's.

Dude - we should totally start up a thing Bromatch.com. Endless avenues for finding women, none for finding new bro's to hang out with. Instead of short messages, just send URLs of "shit you find funny"

I mean this in all sincerity, and maybe you've already tried this. Why not ask an ugly, successful woman out?

late-30's/40's dating is a piece of cake. Most of those life pressures are off the table. Just a couple of people, either with kids already or no interest in having any, getting together when they have free time. Usually both parties have their lives together to some extent, and can't remember the last time they slept…

I agree - a midday coffee date has no built-in sense of excitement. No possibilities. It's basically "Is this guy/girl ugly in person? Is he/she a weirdo?"

You can venture off to parties and barbecues.
