Thread: The Future Is Upon Us

  1. #1
    This is just some music to go along with the theme of the title. Message two has the thread subject matter.

    I was in one of the Stations properties last night and swiped this! Get it? Swiped!? It appears the Future is Upon us or is it already here!?

    This topic was brought up in the other thread and I figured this is where we can all discuss Cardless Connect if we so choose.

    "Future Games."





    I did a thing last night
    You know those future games
    I turned off all the lights
    Oh, the future came
    You were by my side
    Will you explain-oh yeah
    Real rhyme or reason for those future games
    Now you were there last night
    And oh were you afraid
    Of things we'd come upon
    While playing future games
    But baby it's alright and so have faith
    Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face
    How many people sit home at night
    Wondering if they will be here tonight
    Wondering if children will he bring to the light
    Inherit the world, or inherit the night
    Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
    All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
    Talking of journeys that happen in vain
    Well I know I'm not the only one
    To ever spend my life sitting playing future games
    You better take your time
    You know there's no escape
    The future sends a sign
    Of things we will create
    Baby it's alright
    And so have faith
    Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face
    How many people sit home at night
    Wondering if they will be here tonight
    Wondering if children will he bring to the light
    Inherit the world, or inherit the night
    Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
    All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
    Talking of journeys that happen in vain
    And I know I'm not the only one
    To ever spend my life sitting playing future games
    Future games
    I know I'm not the only one
    What, Me Worry?

    No fair! You were past posting as you have probably known this has been over there for some time!?

    Actually no Monet, I am in Northern Nevada and didn't realize it hit down there. To be fair to Guy Incognito, if someone would have told me it was going to hit the day after I posted on it, I would have also taken the over (I was thinking 5 years down the line). So I too am experiencing Future Shock (great synth riff groove from the great Herbie Hancock):


    Now speaking of VP, my friend was down there (Vegas) six months ago and ran into a casino on Boulder Highway that had OEJ paying 16 to 1 instead of 15 to 1 on the 4ofaK. He didn't remember where he saw it (or if the StrFl and WildRoyal were shorted to make up for it - that's the key), but said he would look for it again next time he's down there.

    I was referring to tech being mandatory, as opposed to available.

    Yes, I know. I was ribbing you. I don't think it will be mandatory for 5 years or so (and even then only at the large chains like Stations, CET, etc.). In the meanwhile, cardholders will be looked upon with greater scrutiny than smart phone virtual card users IMHO.

    Assuming multiaccounting can net you thousands a month, I'd assume people would just use burner phones to circumvent this, anyway.

    Oddly enough I was just ribbing you ever so slightly as well. Truth be told, this cardconnect has been with that Casino for awhile now. I am not sure how long because I didn't care to notice but since it was brought up on the forum I figured I would take notice. I certainly would not want to run multi accounts with a bunch of burner phones. It is bad enough carrying around hundreds of cards on my person or in the car or at the house. I don't even want to begin to imagine trying to have a bunch of phones to take care of.

    I listened to the song Mr V but it sure was slow and I don't think I could listen to it again. I really only posted that other song because the title was the same as this thread title but if you want to get into "Future" titled songs I would have to go with the album the "Future" title by the late, great Leonard Cohen. Incidentally the man passed away by the very common occurrence of falling down.

    Very powerful lyrics like Give me back the Berlin Wall, Give me Stalin and St. Paul... Give me Christ or Give me Hiroshima!

    Me neither, but I agree with Guy Incognito that some people will do it. I'll just focus mostly on cardless vulturing at the corporate chains once the smart phones take over. And then the rest of the plays will be at the small places that will always use a physical card or are cardless (where the slot attendant keys you up with credits when you redeem a promo or inserts a voucher if they at least have TITO).

    I like quotes from the past. Adapting to new circumstances will only be a problem for a few.

    Physicists define matter as the atomic and subatomic particles composed of energy in various fields that slow it down enough for us to see it. Hence, the "grand illusion". Thing is, though, what we see is merely another illusion whether viewed as matter or energy. The illusion, itself, is but another illusion. What we see, as we glance across the universe, only appears to be a continuous, full cross section of it. Matter, and continuity, however, are by definition fundamentally different from that view. The underlying reasons for what is where when. Specifically, future now past.

    I get the message. I think the quote, from Jefferson, could of just stopped with the first two words... (Don't Talk). You may have just told me or others to STFU ha ha. If you study Jefferson and you won't have to study very long. You will find that he most likely meant in that small quote you quoted that actions speak louder than words. It appears that he was always suggesting not to talk but to act because that is when we find out who the individual really is. The quote you quoted is a little bit misleading or confusing to a layman like myself. After some consideration I do believe that your quoted quote is guidance to be a man of action compared to a man who talks. If one followed your quoted quote verbatim they would have a hard time speaking at all since they couldn't talk about the past or future. I suppose they could talk about the present but that would be difficult since the present doesn't last very long. Bill Yung might be able to elaborate how the past, present and future are all illusions in actuality?

    Not bad MC. I suppose this is a matter of personal taste. I didn't really enjoy Fleetwood Mac's song but I do enjoy Hank Senior or Junior from time to time. This song and Hank Williams Jr many times seems like crossover music like Country/Rock or like this one which had a Country/Blues feel to it??

    Really?

    Yamaoka Tesshu, as a young student of Zen, visited one master after another. He called upon Dokuon of Shokoku.

    Desiring to show his attainment, he said: “The mind, Buddha, and sentient beings, after all, do not exist. The true nature of phenomena is emptiness. There is no realization, no delusion, no sage, no mediocrity. There is no giving and nothing to be received.”

    Dokuon, who was smoking quietly, said nothing. Suddenly he whacked Yamaoka with his bamboo pipe. This made the youth quite angry.

    “If nothing exists,” inquired Dokuon, “where did this anger come from?”
