I just started playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. - http://raptr.com/griswold
what do you think? i dont like the mulitplayer as much, too easy to earn higher ranks and the game version...still getting my thoughts together on that
- JCANCU
I think they've outdone the original in almost every respect... while I hear you about ranking up, I think the new system is better at consistently rewarding you for everything you do -- from long shot kills, to taking revenge. I only lament that they now have so many levels for things that I will be up all hours for the rest of the year trying to achieve it all :)

"Overlay sites/experiences are great - and hold much more promise - but it's gotta be dead simple... you also really need well-planned support to get the experience popped out in a big way (unless you have uber traffic at your beckon call... in which case, good for you!). GirlSmiles is by far the best example thus far, though moving into gaming could really break out.

"A long time ago in a galaxy not too far away, I introduced something called the "Planetary Model of Primary Politics". It is basically just a fancy way of noting that there are generally two dimensions by which candidates position themselves in Presidential primaries. One is along an ideological axis (liberal/conservative). The other is what I then called an institutional axis -- whether a candidate seeks to work within existing institutions or to reform them. I now conceive of the institutional axis as more of a populist axis. Does the candidate stress his connections within the elite, usually expressed in terms of his purported experience, competence, or technical knowledge? Or is he an "outsider" who claims to represent the people in contradiction to the elite? Is he a technocrat or a populist?"

How can Palin still be in any universe!? Let's hope Romney stops acting like a faux-servative pandering to the most radical corners of the base, and embraces why people DID want to vote for him -- to turn around a party that's lost its way.

Watchmen was a cinematic revolution. Oh wait, I havent seen it yet. Is twittering about an embargoed film I havent seen against the rules?:P
No - the studios wont' know about twitter for another 4 years so you're okay. Wish I hadn't missed the screening.

I'm not answering that :)
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
Ok, so I am low maintenance (emotionally and materialistically). I either: a) pick the wrong ones or b) am too low maintenance because my super duper high maintenance gfs are in really good relationships, while I always end up screwed haha. According to them, guys really like high maintenance chicks.

HELL, no. A girl that is high-maintenance just means she's a pain in the ass and expects me to do everything for her without doing the same in return. If I want something high-maintenance, I'll get a vintage car or buy Twitter.

I still say there's a difference between looking high maintenance and acting high maintenance The two may often go hand in hand, but they don't have to.

@Spidra Not all of us. I don't put up with BS from anyone but my relatives, and that's only because they'll cause me even more grief. (Some days, I think I was born into a clan of internet trolls. Other days, I know.)
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Absolutely false....at least for me. High maintenance = issue-fest.
- Chris Luckhardt
i think it depends on how you define maintenance. i love the spa, totally moisturize head to toe, love bliss scrubs, good lingerie, to be dressed well. guys seem to be ok with this kind of high maintenance. the drama type though no.

i have a feeling you mean "pay attention to." low maintenance is likely preferable in itself, but a low maintenance person is easily dismissed. i know nothing of this area of life, though, so i'm just guessing.

did ya tell him what ya love about him too? :o)

There's nothing wrong with girls who like shiny things, but to me being "high maintenance" means that they're needy emotionally. Bad.
- Will Higgins™
disagree with Jason - I love to look at the high maintenance ones, and I like hanging out with them too.

Low maintenance with a splash of high maintenance in them. Not too much or i will leave them by the side of the road. (Maybe that is why i am still single)!

+1 Oldengrey
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
A high-maint chick EXPECTS me to pay for her nails, hair and feet. A chick I would actually like APPRECIATES that kind of treatment.

I think girls should at least supply their own feet, Rah.

Well put, Rahsheen!

And, the opposing question: http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Totally depends on the guy. I myself, do.
- Daniel Miessler
another vote for Tinas comment, spot on!
- Peter Efland
Actually the answer is no. It kind of reminds me of this G4 thing about dealing with girls who are crazy, yet who are hot. So I say it's a personal scale with a crazy to hotness ratio. Usually 3:1. My scale would have to be 5:1 or 6:1 on that though.
- Shawn aka ringking
I meant my scale for maintenance is 5:1 :)

Yes and no, depends on what aspects are high maintenance.

I can emphatically tell you from personal experience with other men that this is patently false.
- Helen Sventitsky
False. But then I've only ever given my heart willingly to one girl, she's trouble but it's the spark within her that draws me to her. That and I'm trouble too so we're a great matching, it's never boring ;) I've had "high maintentance" girls apparently show interest in me, I say apparently because I never noticed it. I only know because others told me "you do know she likes you right?"

There are two types of high maintenance: emotional and material. Emotional can be difficult but tend to be more intelligent and caring. Material tends to be superficial and cold. I prefer women who are emotionally high maintenance. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.
- Paul
Actually, I am caring but called cold, since I tend to be more rational than emotional.
- Mona Nomura
from IM
no way
- andy brudtkuhl
agreed re: makeup. i absolutely hate the look of lipstick (unless it's a natural color)
- cjmart
Jason, I find women that are emotionally high maintenance more passionate and romantic, which I'm attracted to being rather passionate and a bit of a romantic myself. Women and men who are materially high maintenance tend to use emotions and sensuality as bargaining chips.

It may just come down to finding a compatible partner.

"Laurel - what an amazing comment! Thank you. It's only taken me so long to reply because there's so much meat in there it's worthy of a further post -- which I intend to get to once I'm back to a regular schedule. I'll do the best I can here. I definitely think this ties to the nature/nurture debate - which is one of my favorites by the way, because it's an eternal spectrum of gray. To crime: it's greater in large cities but that's on a gross basis... and I'm not sure it ties to population in any way, except that more people drive the numbers (this is one I am hungry for more research on so if you find any please send my way and I'll post it!). To that same point, media (in your case news media) is a big driver not just of our perceptions of crime, but also of ourselves and our environment. I'm curious to see stats plotting media consumption vis-a-vis self perception. To your point about socialized services, we differ primarily in our answer to common "big city problems". To be..."

"Yes, it's a convoluted question without a definitive answer -- and I'm not sure if I should be offended or honored by being declared "THE MAN" (it's been a hard week, so I'm taking it as a compliment - thank you). To get personal for a moment: life in Los Angeles has definitely influenced me to some degree. The views of lifelong friends that remained in suburbia becomes more foreign by the day -- not that I don't understand, and even agree with, their views; but my place has influenced my perspective. I have most frequently chosen to hold onto my firm beliefs ("go capitalism!"), even if that means standing alone (it often does) -- but I still feel at home here because I share many other values with the community. So we give and take; and the question remains unanswered."
