I have stuck with the same look since uniand its coming back into fashion, this now makes me look like an aging hipster prick. I dunno what to do Sporters should I change my look so it isnt coming back into fashion or should I just stick with it and use it to try and pull a young bird for a bit on the side.

I'm a nice combination of both.Slightly behind with owning a lot of new tech as I'm not that into it, but I know how it works and what it does. (Apart from spellcheck - AMIRITE?)
Music, I still know who all the artists are on compilation adverts. So popular culture I'm on point. Nullo prick breakbeat underground cool trendy shit, not so much.
Clothes, yeah, I'm on trend. Starting to look at items and wondering if I can still get away with it. I can though.

I'm always about ten years behind with music, but I'll catch up with all of it eventually.Men's fashion doesn't really change that much, apart from minor variances in the cut of jeans.
Being a skinny cunt, it suits me that the current vogue is for a tight fit.

The value of recorded music has gone through the floor with the free availability of it.Technology is weird - I was watching a gadget programme on telly the other day about the latest thing - curved-screen TVs. I mean - what's the point?
I think we're going to go full Matrix soon, and just become beings wired into completely immersive sensory stimulation devices.
Gradually and hopefully we'll die out.
My lunch was delicious - a homemade meatball wrap - it's Mrs V's birthday party this weekend, and she's using me as a guinea pig to test the dishes she's going to cook for it, which is nice.

Curved tv screens apparently fit the curve of your eyeball, giving a better feel of depth or some other shit.I would LOVE a 4k curved screen but I assume it would cost about 5 grand.
Technology does seem to be wanting us to sit watching the box, eating loads and becoming a fat whale. Far cry from the hunter-gatherers we are designed to be.

Wouldnt that only work if the screen was a parabola, otherwise you would get different angles of refraction so the image would distort...

or some other shitExactly. I can understand the military application of such, perhaps, but entertainment-wise - it all seems a bit overkill (ironically).
I mean - a video's a video. Clear, in colour, on a big enough screen is great. I don't see how a curved screen is really going to make any difference.
Mind - our telly's 20 years old and showing no signs of packing up, so I don't see why I'm so bothered.
I just get a distinct feeling that people are employed to create problems in order to sell us shit to solve them. No one knew they needed music while walking along until the walkman was invented.
I'm sorry - I appear to be taking the internet seriously. I still like breasts, though.

Plus also you get more floorspace per screen size because it's bent (but naturally the depth increases).Where 'curved' comes into its own is with portable devices, imagine being able to 'fold' your phone in half, or having the sides as part of the screen for other functions (ie, in a 'closed' state, you can still recieve notifications on the side).
Flexable OLEDs doesn't always mean Bendable, but it does mean that you can have other shapes rather than flat rectangles.
