Yeah I get that, but are we talking about injecting phantom images into our brain so that the mouse thinks it sees the left lever's light luminate? Or are we talking about injecting 'knowledge' into the mouse' brain so that it 'knows' that it should push the left lever? Because if it's the...

Pretty cool. I doubt we'll ever use a brain to brain interface over verbal or written communication though. I'm no neurologist but it seems like it'd take a tremendous change in the human brain in order to quickly encode and decode messages sent via wire. Still, any kind of 'automatic' input...

Good choice. I always tell friends who want to sell me something big (house,car,whatever) that I'm not going to buy unless I'm giving the seller a bad deal and I don't want to give you a bad deal.

I'm thinking we could make a new one every month or something but we'll see how it plays out. We'll definitely give the Rerolled region a try.

Bro come on. Here's how I feel when I get my refund. (If any, fucking Obama)

turbo tax is great How I feel every year doing taxes:

We should make another contest for you to win. Biggest city/region population maybe?

Fine. FINE. I'll get it. edit: You and me both, Vvoid.

I think you're extrapolating beyond reason.

I hope so.

I don't think the comparison needs to be that specific.

Big problem with diamond's ability to retain value is: 1. Women don't want 'used' diamonds. 2. Diamonds being rare is entirely dependent on DeBeer's desire to restrict supply. 3. Diamonds being rare is also dependent on the manufacturing of synthetic diamonds not decreasing in price (As well...

Are you arguing that because sometimes people do dumb things we should feel okay to do dumb things? I don't understand. And if I'm coming off as an insufferable douche then I apologize. I don't mean to. The only reason I'm so forceful on this topic is because I don't like seeing my friends...

My wife's father paid for nothing for my wedding. Which is why I organized my own wedding. I'm not sure if you're contending that the wedding industry is NOT built around convincing brides to spend daddies money or you're arguing with me about moissanite in an indirect way. If you have a...

Are you under the impression that the woman's father pays for the engagement ring?

I think I'd be more upset about this shit if I ever played a game where an inferior player could gain advantage on me with $$$. The worst pay-for-shit thing I've seen has been a deliberate attempt by developers to create a shitty grind and then make it easier to progress through it with $$$.

I want like 10 of them and I am cutting costs everywhere to provide for their future.

Yeah except I'd have less freedom and leisure time at my socioeconomic status at every point in human history than I do now. I'm a middle class nobody with no connections and average ability, but I can literally go to any populated place in the world at any time I want and can choose pretty...

It was funny going to different wedding bullshit stores and the salespersons getting rustled at me. They'd give looks and make statements at my fiance like, "Plz get this reasonable person out of here so I can fleece you." this isn't directly wedding shit but the bed bath & beyond wedding...

Wedding costs are as dumb as diamonds. It's an entire industry built on convincing girls to spend daddy's money. I planned my wedding and it was the best shit ever and I made a profit off it. Women are bad at shopping in general, but they go full retard when it comes to weddings.

Is... is that a skinny and presentable jack black?

What would get me excited about AC4: 1. Removing all the boring community building aspects. I'm fine if you build an assassin empire, just hire a consigliare to navigate the menus to spend the money, ok? 2. Putting the game in a scene with magnificent and interesting historical buildings. The...

What I like is saving my friends from buying a bad product.

Building a marriage on dishonesty isn't a good idea. And getting it appraised is perfectly acceptable given that it's a good idea to insure expensive jewelry. You also don't need to be a professional to tell a moissanite from a diamond. The biggest indicator is that a moissanite will be...

Don't do it.

Oh get the fuck out of here and go live in the woods somewhere.

Take her to see some moissanite before you use too many words to convince her.

I've never seen Eomer brag about money.

Not surprised Gavinrad did everything he could to shut that shit down as soon as possible. He's one of the most jealous trolls I've ever known.

False.

There's massive differences in quality between a CZ and a moissanite/diamond. Basically CZ looks like shit. And draegan I doubt the moissanite company is even public. Not that I'd buy into their stock. Their business model is dependent on scientists not being able to make diamond production...

There's actually been a huge uproar in reddit talking about his fucking eye switching from left to right. Which made the fact that the played the mirror joke again in the last episode hilarious. Merkins why are you following Lyrical around posting random dudes of color quoting him?

Do you say hi / try to talk to admin/reception every day when you walk in the door? What about when you pass people in the halls moving about your business? It depends on your personality and preference. Personally I always greet people by their name. People like hearing their name and they're...

Sorry to be a negative nancy but I can't imagine ever sharing my wife or violating our fidelity so openly.

Here's an important distinction: If you settle on a budget for a ring you can get a vastly better ring if you go with moissanite. If you're normal and want to spend $2000 on a ring you can get a very forgettable and unimpressive diamond ring or you can get an incredible setting (Or in my case a...

between having a digital library that'll never get destroyed vs a bunch of physical copies I can masturbate on I'll take the digital copies. That being said I've kept all my game manuals in my closet and the only thing keeping me from arguing with my wife about how cluttered our closet is, is...

Yeah I don't think telling your woman you're not getting her a diamond is a materialism test as much as an intelligence and independent thinking test, or in many cases simply an information test. If all a woman has heard is that diamonds are far apart the best clear stone then it's not her fault...

Gentlemen, exhibit A: The result of good marketing. Diamonds weren't used commonly until the 1930s when DeBeers launched a massive marketing campaign to usurp tradition. A few decades later and now a shit-gem is an irreplaceable part of a naive bride's concept of tradition...

This kind of salesmanship works against them when the customer is informed. If you educate a buyer on the common lies told by salesmen their words sound as sinister venom to ones ears. This is especially true with such trivial and discrete evidence like a fucking rock. Show a woman a moissanite...

I find this really hard to believe. Virtually all the big department stores (Kohls, JCPennies etc) and half of the shit mall stores carry moissanite.
