    Bluetooth Borg Headsets Dying?

    I noticed recently that I am barely seeing these out and about lately.

    Have people finally realized they look fucking ridiculous walking around with these things permanently on?

    Did the late night talk show hosts make fun of it a lot and slowly enact positive change on society?

    Or are people just not using them as much?

    I know you believe you understand what you think I said. But I am not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.

    I can only hope so. I kept calling my ex "Lobot" and I noticed that last time I saw him, he'd lost the headset. Now I'll have to think of other names. hehehe.

    At least you can see them. It freaks me out when someone is talking to themself and you can't see any identifiable headset or microphone anywhere. There's always the chance that they are having a conversation with God and are being told to strip the meat off of your ribs and make some tasty broth with em.

    Hahahaha. Yeah, I don't have an issue with people wearing them when they are in use. But the people who just leave them on all the time while they go about various tasks (grocery shopping, eating at a sit-down restaurant, etc.) are out of control.

    Fortunately, the latter type of use seems to be on the decline - at least in our area. I was wondering (hoping!) that maybe that kind of use had been the butt of jokes on the late night tv circuit or something like that, and trickled down.

    And here I was wondering if there was some kind of bluetooth device to help you with combat in Threshold.... SEE the spam scrolling past you, HEAR the frantic beeps of your companion as he tries to bring you back to Threshold, SMELL the smoke... or maybe something not quite as bad... when you get that skull.......
