my city

wearing video glasses is dumb and creepy? but how is that destroying san francisco, is it some kind of keep austin weird / anachronistic anti-guilianism thing



it's more that anyone wearing google glasses is almost definitely part of the privileged yuppie tech crowd invading the city, and the fact that one showed up at a sorta punk bar and started calling everyone else white trash while recording them triggered some hate

I used to work in mobile software, pre-iphone. We had a company wide brain storming meeting on how to handle the new capabilities of smartphones. My contribution was that we should call our applications "plics" instead of "apps". Long story short, within two years I was a night janitor at a meat processing plant.

i think its more of an issue of you not remembering the dreams you have rather than not dreaming at all



i guess surely you can appreciate the value of the expression "deep dreamless sleep"



don't worry i know what you mean, having dreams start up again when you stop smoking regularly is

it's pretty cool (gaey) that for the first time in human history we now have a permanent and plausible justification for abruptly ignoring someone who you've entered into conversation with while not having to physically leave their presence

i hate the illusion of busy-ness, productivity and excitement that all these dumb gadgets create

Iwc, serious question, do you find as a self described 'high beta male' that you have trouble telling people to put their fucking phones away.

i mainly just associate with people who have some etiquette although i have dropped a few pointed 'sorry was I boring you?'s when talking to strangers in bars.

but no joke this story is straight truth: the pub trivia i go to takes itself pretty seriously and there's a strict no phones out rule while it's in progress. One team had this jackass who for the prior 2 weeks had been whipping it out under the table but thought no-one had noticed... if they did then nobody said anything, presumably to avoid making a scene.

Then when he did it on the 3rd week the quizmaster Jon, an engaging and quixotic old Yorkshireman, nonchalantly walked over, snatched it out of his hands and threw it on the ground where it smashed into a bunch of tiny pieces before turning back to the room and launching into the next question without missing a beat. The offender looked shocked, then shamed, then looked at his beer coaster for about 3 minutes before quietly slipping out and never returning.

and that's the difference between a high beta and an alpha

all posturing aside you can ask if there's an emergency, and then really directly tell people to put their phones away and they'll do it because they know they're being bad. if they don't you're not worth their time. It's never happened to me yet. Also when people ask if something's an emergency I always say "yes" without hesitation.
