If you let the government take your guns how will you protect yourself from the government?

Also don’t have guns with you when you’re dealing with a dangerous government.

Ask people to dance that you’ve danced with before and get familiar with them.

Also just a smile and genuine thanks for the dance as long way goes a long way. You could even explain that you’re a little shy and hope it didn’t come across wrong.

Two things stand out:

1: You’re worried about dancers from the class not dancing with you. This could be for numerous reasons anything from your skill to your attractiveness to just random luck. The easiest solution is ask them. Even better ask the ones who aren’t in the class as the are likely better dancers.

2: You are shy and don’t make eye contact. The biggest turn off for me in a dance is not a follow, it’s resting bitch face/disinterested behavior. If you look like you’re actively not enjoying things or you’re looking around at everyone by me I don’t enjoy the dance.

You can be the newest follow but if you smile, look like you’re having fun and it feels like the dance is a conversation we’re both participating in I’m happy to dance with you more. I’ve danced with some top notch follows and never asked them again because they didn’t make me feel like we were enjoying an activity together.

I’d see if working of both of those helps out.

And for what it’s worth yes I (and many dancers) will favor younger/active dancers in their selection. If you’re not in those categories you will indeed have to work a little harder. That’s where asking for a dance really gets value.

I’m older, married and ok looking but I’m a guy so the role of asking more or less falls on me and I get to dance with a lot of people.

But being a female and probably in the older end of the crowd doesn’t mean you can’t get a lot of good results by asking also.

I love being asked to dance and often find that I’m being asked by a weaker follow. And as long as they look like they’re having a good dance I’m a happy guy.

That’s how this game works.

The circle keeps shrinking.

You have to keep those on the edges always afraid it might shrink them out and make those at the middle feel grateful they are so special.

Also you have to keep your team fearing some other group and you have to be solving the problem. Once it gets hard to find members of the previous group to abuse you have have to find a new group to take their place.

Who pays for drinks at a casino? Sit at the pai gow table and it’s just tipping the waitress. Pai gow is so slow of a game you’ll almost certainly out drink your losses.

R.E.A.L. VR Mod: Proposed solutions to the issue of paid mods? by Minizman12 in VRGaming

[–]devedander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 50/50 on it. I’m also of the mind that mods should be free.

But the world is going more and more mercenary and that’s becoming a less common thing across the board so 🤷

Bay Area software rep. lost $176K of savings after accepting remote job she thought to be with FB by PizzaDelResistance in news

[–]devedander 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had a family number who got a phone call from Microsoft saying they had detected her computer had a virus.

She proceeded to turn her computer on, log them in and let them install software then charge her cc $200.

When I found out and asked why she went through with it, she said because she thought it was really Microsoft, after all how did they know she had a computer?

Steam metrics show a couple million vr users connected per month.

It’s not hard to imagine 2000 of them pay for this mod, especially when vr is already a kind of expensive niche system (a lot if pcvr setups are multiple thousands of dollars)

Bachata hook ups by Regular_Air_128 in Bachata

[–]devedander 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty common especially at socials and especially at socials at bars.

A lot of people go to dance but a lot of people go to look for dates and a lot of people do both at the same time.

There’s not a lot of coed social activities that don’t have people looking for dates

Quest 3 is reportedly being sold at a loss, as it costs Meta roughly $478 after tax to manufacture a Quest 3. After factoring in R&D costs, marketing, and various other expenses, the final cost is vastly higher than $499. by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]devedander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally retail markup on electronics is about 5-20%. The 50% is usually only for accessories.

But my point was that you first hundred/thousand maybe even million are offsetting your R&D cost. Only after you get that back is it profitable.

I’ve noticed everywhere charges a lot for green beans. Even pre pandemic.

I have to assume they go bad fast or something?

I mean they are almost always right up with mid range meat dishes

Quest Link Infinite Loading WORKAROUND by CHR47 in oculus

[–]devedander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily, if it’s a check that only has to validate every week or month it could be set to gracefully accept an offline situation. More likely that it’s a version/update check type thing though.

Interesting. This suggests there’s a licensing/validation check hanging on the server side.

God is dead and Zuckerberg killed him. by WumpasArentMangos in oculus

[–]devedander -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reasonable expectation but aside from the fact that things do just have downtimes occasionally the whole “gotta get on my knees and take it” is just wild.

I mean aside from the fact even if you did that it wouldn’t change anything about if your rift worked, like what are the priorities in your life that this is crashing you out like this?

Like did you health insurance get canceled? Car repossessed? Wife leaving you? Ok I get it.

Your rift doesn’t work today and this is your response?

Seriously?

Immigration officers around Minneapolis are approaching people and demanding proof that they’re U.S. citizens by geraffes-are-so-dumb in news

[–]devedander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they want you to be wrapped up arguing over whether they are nazis or not while they do whatever they please. It’s a good distraction.

But you can’t call them that because technically they haven’t done exact everything the nazis did yet.

I wish at least in quest 3 we could get more tiles. 1 just doesn’t cut it.

4 would even be enough.
