yes but will it sweat blood and tears?
With the right modifications it will.

Mind you, it won't produce them so you might have to hook up an orphan siphon or something, but we've already got comp towers that spew decorative smoke and stuff, so blood and tears isn't exactly a stretch. I imagine the money saved from not getting overcharged by a brick and mortar joint will cover the cost of installation :P

... concrete isn't that bad. So long as it's flat. An actual blanket over it, like. Helps. You can bunch it up appropriately to support you as you please. Two blankets would be better.

What I'm saying is you need more blankets and more pillows, and then you can macgyver yourself comfort. I've been sleeping on shitty spring twins or the floor all my life. You learn to compensate. Given sufficient bedding mattresses become largely irrelevant.

Running late to it due to getting food, but congrats Janet! T'hell with the laws, embrace that significant other!

In much less significant contributions, I now have a pound of cinnamon rolls to consume. And garlic bread. It's small things, but... it's nice, yo'.

Interaction with other humans adds a psychological layer, yes. Face to face isn't requisite for that, though, y'know? Most that does is inject another layer of cues into the experience. Also webcams, man, they're a thing. Not my sort of thing, but...

I've read more than a couple after-action reports and similar suchlike where what went down went considerably beyond "strictly statistical".

Have you tried having cheese with cheese?  It might not be self-compatible. 
One thing that doesn't go well with cheese is Diet Code Red Mountain Dew.  Don't ask why I know that. 
It depends on the cheese. Often, adding different types of cheese together does, indeed, improve the experience.

As for the latter... you might need a different cheese. I know for a fact that mountain dew occasionally does alright with bread (actually, you can make bread with the stuff as a primary ingredient -- I've seen it done, it tastes alright. Sprite, too.) and I also know you can make cheese-infused bread that is excellent. Combine the two processes, tweak a bit, and... there might be something functional in there.

Though you might not manage it with diet. I don't entirely count diet drinks as something consumable. Kind of in the same category as, like, battery acid. Can't stand most artificial sweeteners, stuff just tastes horrific.

Cheese is for everything, so... yeah, I guess it's for fries and hotdogs, too.

I think I need to get more aggressive in putting cheese in things, so I can get around to finding out what doesn't go with cheese. It's a task compounded in difficulty by the variety of cheese out there, though :-\

But, so far, cheese is 100% compatible. Everything I've put cheese in or on has been improved by the addition. Even ice cream. (You doubt? Cream cheese is cheese. Try putting ice cream on cheese cake one of these days. It's like sin and debauchery decided to have a sit down luncheon in your mouth.)

You can't play bluff games on a computer.
Dominions 3 would like to disagree.

So would a lot of games, actually. You don't need a face to bluff someone :P

Was having hot dogs and french fries for dinner today.  Open up fridge to get ketchup and mustard, ketchup and mustard not there.  HOW DO YOU EAT FRENCH FRIES AND HOT DOG WITHOUT KETCHUP AND MUSTARD?!
Hahaha, with ease!

Actually, I've never had french fries or hot dogs with ketchup and mustard. Mustard is vile, to me. Don't like the taste. Or the look. Or the smell.

Ketchup, though, yes. Prefer BBQ sauce, but ketchup is alright, too. So's plain, though. About the only way I don't eat potatoes (in terms of cooking, if not garnish) is raw. I think. I've never attempted to eat a potato raw, but undercooked ones aren't very tasty so I assume the quality extends accordingly as preparation reduces.

Hotdogs must be cooked, but... similarly, the method of cooking is largely irrelevant. Grilled, baked, boiled, broiled, fried, stir-fried, microwaved, cold. Probably more. I have consumed many hotdogs in many ways. But sauce is something that's a variable.

Cast off your monocondiment oppression! Free your taste buds to sow their oats among the fields of freedom! Eat the damn food and stop complaining.

No choice, sky. No choice. You're going to have to mix your own. It's the only way.

And, like. I'm not kidding. It's the only goddamn way. I've had a good dozen or so different kinds of mixed PB&J over the years. Not a single damned one had an even mix.

No choice. Want it done right, do it cherself.

BOARD GAMES ARE AMAZING
And you can play a lot of them on the computer, sometimes even online *eyebrow waggle* They tend to be relatively trivial to code, compared to more complicated/sophisticated computer games, so there's a lot that's been ported over.

There's actually a couple of kind of generic card/board game engine-thingies, iirc, that you can basically make the rules/materials for and then use on a computer. So even the ones that aren't already done, somewhere, can be made relatively easily.

Burn it with fire.

... or I guess hit it with some boiled water? Till it thaws enough to slough off. That'd be my guess.

Horrifying memories are okay! I can support that. It's caustic graphic design that irks me, y'know? Aesthetics are important, and proper utilized makes horrifying memories much more stylistically pleasing. The contrast between style and content heightens the effect, in my experience.

Moxie makes for masterful mindfuckery, is what I'm saying. You must give your words moxie. Not megaglyphs.

Could... could do without the huge text, really. Smaller is fine, usually. Somewhat larger for emphasis, sure. Huge like that... not so much, unless maybe used sparingly. Not for whole posts.

Is eyesore, yes? Yes.
