  I’ve been to Vegas a couple of times, many years ago. I enjoyed the shows, food, and silly debauched spectacle of it all. But it gets old after a day or two.

  Did almost no gambling at all. The machines are very boring to me, and I’m too intimadted to play at a real game with other humans. I would misunderstand the rules and the odds, and screw up the etiquette. I know enough to know that the house has a significant edge in almost any game you play against them. Even on the “best” odds games.

  One of the guys that I went with made a decent chunk of money at Texas Hold’em. He said he really wasn’t that great at it, he just got lucky and found a table full of drunk tourists who couldn’t play for shit, and yet they would try to chase after it.

  The casinos that have popped up in my home town all look dreadfully depressing.

  It’s sad how normalized gambling addiction has become.

  This same phenomenon is how Trump rose to power. A lot of Americans are dumb AF and traditional politicians sound “fancy” and condescending when they speak, making them notice their own stupidity right in the feels. People like CK and 47 talk at their level and make them feel good about themselves, their regressive ignorant hatred of “libruls”, and so on. It’s Idiocracy in real life.

  You’re both right, IMHO. Washed-out colorless designs and angry fruit salad overly-colorful designs are both bad at conveying information. And hopefully they keep colorblind folks in mind, too.

  People mature at different rates. There are myriad reasons for this. But it’s OK to be a little bit immature for your age. There’s no shame in it and it’s very common. Being an adult mostly sucks, anyway. You’re already aware of it, so that’s a good thing. Pay attention to social cues and behaviors of your peers and you’ll figure it out.

  Yeah, it was weird. Most restaurants had a non-smoking section because allowing people to smoke everywhere was the norm. Leaded gasoline. Little kids playing with real fireworks. The 70s and 80s were a wild ride of irresponsibility.

  It wasn’t all bad, though. It was cool being a kid at times. Playing outside almost every day until dinner time with the other kids in the neighborhood.
