name a fad
« on: March 14, 2013, 08:06:01 am »
name something that you think is a fad whether it's music,movies,video games,tech or whatever and will the fad go away

smartphone/tablet fad aka the app bubble, out of all fads that are going on now a days, this is the one that scares me the most, everyone is making a smartphone,tablet or app and it can only going on for so long before the gold rush ends and the whole smartphone/tablet thing is reminding me a lot of the dot-com bubble of the 90s only worse and that scares me to death

I think the app gold rush is pretty much over. The only apps I tend to use now is a web browser and reddit is fun. I'll check out the occasional game but other than that, they really don't interest me. It's hard to call that a fad though because I don't think they'll go away.

when the app bubble pops, business struggle and some will die, when that's going on, smartphone/tablets will quietly become the norm and people stop talking about it, just like the internet and the dot-com bubble.

He secretly loves Beiber. He acts against him, as a cover. He has a ton of memorabilia stacked in a closet next to he Dragon Quest loot.  :)

I smoke a lot of weed, and I have never smoked enough to pass out.

Let me clarify, I've smoked enough to fall asleep. But getting sleepy and falling asleep, and passing out on stage are 2 entirely different things.

There's got to be more going on there than just weed.

It does raise your metabolism, that's what gives you the munchies. So if metabolism is related to blood pressure (not sure if it is or not), then I guess it's a viable explanation.

If you mix it with alcohol it can jack with your blood pressure.

Add that to the fact that he probably eats very little and you have a recipe for some passing out.

Done that plenty of times, too. Never had a problem with it. Just don't smoke when you're really drunk, then it gives you the spins. (I don't drink so much anymore, though.)
