As a serious answer:

"Yes, but....." It’s already possible to integrate neural cells to electronics:

but broadcasting thoughts would take more work. We don’t fully understand what makes up a specific “thought” yet, and once we do, we will have to come up with a method of transmission and playback, since the brain doesn’t communicate in something like TCP/IP.
Probably an early adaptation of the concept would look like what is done in Strange Days:

Which is a fantastic (if rather kinky) movie based around the ability to record and play back experiences.


If you want some really good far-future concepts around human/computer interface, take a look at "The Quantum Thief” by “Hannu OhJesusI’mNotGoingToTryAndPronounceThatLastName.”
http://www.amazon.com/The-Quantum-Thief-Hannu-Rajaniemi/dp/0765329492
He’s going some amazing concepts around both interface and what exactly is “self”.

I host a regular Dominion game with other redditors, which is a game a lot like Magic: The Gathering and a tiny bit like hold'em. Previous meetup events here: http://www.meetup.com/NYC-Redditors/events/30012491/ & http://www.meetup.com/NYC-Redditors/events/28428671/

Amazon description of the game here: http://www.amazon.com/Rio-Grande-Games-RGG370-Dominion/dp/B001JQY6K4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314746416&sr=8-1

It's a great, low-pressure way to meet fellow redditors. And while it's like M:tG, there's no expense on your end-- I've bought the game and all expansions, which is all you need to host up to 8 people. Would you be interested in that? We're happy to teach new people. If so, let me know and I'll be happy to let you know when the next game is and/or you can subscribe to the reddit meetup NYC group to be automatically notified of that and other events.

He suffered from bipolar, unfortunately, and it tainted his career (he would take too many anti-depressants and pass out on-stage, and things like that).

Very big shame, though, as from the precious little live videos that exist, he was a beast:

• Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJhmkkuASY (just walks away like a pimp, hahaha)
  
  Didn't help that the label he got famous from -- that wrote his most famous songs -- ended up folding.
  
  Great, great singer though.
  
  His first two albums are terrific, and then there are: The Complete Goldwax Recordings for everything in-between :)
  
  Also, great cover of one of his most well-known songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qiaksN_9HY

Hi. How are you doing?
If you want to vent, let me help you. PM me.

Also if you want to talk about specifics drop by /r/depression.
If you want to try something that might help you, try this book. It has been recommended by some people on that thread. You can usually find a copy online if you look for it.

All the best!

My all-time favorite book is Katherine Dunn's Geek Love. Though it's set in the real world it leans more towards fantasy than science fiction. But I know several science fiction fans who thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I think it might be to your liking as well.

Oh man, what bad news.

Creole is the original, which I find pretty bland. Now there is Bold and More Spice, which didn't use to exist. I hope Cajun (just a little spicy) got rebranded. Wikipedia wasn't helpful, so I'm looking at the company website.

Edit: looks like it was rebranded as More Spice, based off of the product description found here: Tony Chachere's More Spice Creole Seasoning - 14 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001Q1J3QY

May I perhaps interest you in a reading of my favorite bed time book?

Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe

And I'm always glad to chat.

This is my favorite fantasy book.

I read it almosy every year. It's a decent fantasy and a very well written female protagonists.

Hi Pizza Safeword,

I hope it is not intrusive to share this; my sister is 32 and lost the love of her life this spring after 2 years of glioblastoma treatment. In all the anguish of trying to fit pieces back together these past few months, she said reading The Year of Magical Thinking has been especially comforting. It is an autobiographical book on bereavement (specifically of a partner). There's no wrong way to grieve, best wishes in your continued path.

I just used a little water (you can use water or oil) and I got my dull pocket knife very sharp in just a minute or two. Able to cut through paper and all that. Could also work on scissors or a kitchen knife. It should last a very long time.

Oh cool! Someone interested in crime! I've been reading dangerous behaviors books lately. Like specifically what kinds of crime things are you into?

I hate to break it to you, but this book already exists, along with many different variations.
