THIS is what YouTube was created for!

I thought you were talking about something else. LOL.

[user428]

But that is a good point. New shoes feel amazing.

[Mister Obvious]

Ohh, okay. lol. Hmm, I'd say new shoes actually.

New shoes, new insoles.

New socks. New underwear.

Fresh clean sheets.

A clean towel.

Okay I'm done.

[user428]

That is a good list.

Walking barefoot on the beach.

Running your hands through MO's hair.

Walking barefoot on the beach.

Which leads me right into what I was gonna share on this thread before I even read your post?!



As long as your body is fit, who gives a fuck what your face looks like?

Makeup has been used (especially for the past decade) to focus on people's faces and "perfect" what they're working with, but I think it's 100% the wrong approach.

The focus shouldn't be on the face, it should be on the body, and the method is targeted movement.

"Exercise" and "working out" are really archaic terms in my opinion...

People need to stop looking at exercise as something that only happens in a certain place, at the gym or in a home gym.

The other areas of our lives shouldn't be separated from exercise...

Exercise and movement should be part of every aspect of our lives.

Real attractiveness doesn't come from a product, it comes from health.

These docs are really good. This one is about Somalian pirates.

Starting to get my shed finished on the inside.

That's a nice area Dan. May I ask what state you're in? Looks a bit like NM.

[user428]

Yep. I am in North Eastern AZ. It is really close to NM.

[user428]

It's actually more East Central AZ. Because I'm not in the four corners area or anything. I am only like 2 hours north of Phoenix here.

You seem like you're from the PNW if I had to guess.

[Mister Obvious]

FUCK I love Arizona. Sometimes it hits me how lucky Dan is.

[Mister Obvious]

I mean I'm sure he worked to get to where he is... I am not saying it just landed in his lap but. Still, blessed.

[user428]

Yeah. Arizona is like the better version of Oregon. It stayed conservative, has a better economy, and has some of the best weather in the US.

You seem like you're from the PNW if I had to guess.

Close, haha. Lone Star native.

After a certain point - technology is just gross, unnecessary and weaponized against
the population.

[somethingelseishere]

I guess somebody's gotta do it. I still hate this world though.

NASA developed the first VR headset in 1968. Scientists were able to walk around a virtual 3D wireframe cube, and that was about all.

The first mass VR craze happened around 1992, and fizzled out after a few years. The first DIY headsets were made with low-resolution LCDs harvested from the pocket TVs that were around at the time. There was a lot of talk about augmented reality (which they're now calling mixed reality) someday being useful in medicine and mechanical repairs, among other things.

Oliver Stone made a miniseries called Wild Palms in 1993 about corporations using VR to take over America.

One of my favorite TV shows in the 90s was VR.5. It debuted the same night as The X Files on Fox, and lasted only one season.

Google came out with their shitty Google Glass product in 2013. Rather than rendering the text directly in front of you, as an augmented reality headset should, you had to look up in the corner of your field of vision at a tiny screen. There was a big uproar about privacy when dorks starting wearing them in public. That didn't last very long either. Google will be retiring the product this year.

More recently, Meta/Facebook bet the farm on VR, blowing $10 billion on their Metaverse project, which practically nobody is interested in.

As for the latest Apple headset fixing the "problem" of people living their boring, dreary lives, forget about it. Most people are comfortable with their alleged misery. The people who aren't probably can't afford a fully immersive electronic escape from reality.
