She's a creep.

She was jamming with four of her friends, having a great time.

So much is not being done with VR technology, mostly because Meta aren't a technology company. They're an acquisitions and holding company posing as a tech company.

Give devs the ability to convert QR codes into VR objects.

In this case this VR experiencer would look at two QR codes on a sign at the start of the walk, and the VR map could then be correctly overlayed onto the real forest.

Or another use case: putting QR codes on exercise weights so the game can track them, rather than struggling to track your hands or controllers.

They only ever had them because it was good for neo-liberal capitalist business.

They're not real allies, which should be obvious by how quickly they jerked their policies away on the whims of a dictator.

That shows they don't actually have those values, just see opportunities they'll take if they think there's money and political benefits coming.

I think they were... They did a bunch of massacres and political repression didn't they?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_massacre

Wasn't that part of the betrayal that started China's civil war? Says there they killed hundreds of thousands of Communist supporters and unionists, turned women into prostitutes... And that KMT party members denounced Chiang Kai Shek (who became leader of the RoC dictatorship) to Sun-Yat Sen, the pro-democracy candidate.

Pretty sure the RoC factions of the KMT sucked pretty bad... Then later the communists sucked less than them.

The violent Chinese nationalists weren't the good guys. Western nations supported the subsequent military dictatorship in Taiwan because it was pro-Capitalist, anti-communist (and also anti-democracy).

It was only when Chiang Kai Shek died in the 1970s that the pro-democracy movement in Taiwan felt they could start properly without getting killed.

Like in Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites.

If you had four to six months to learn and practice you might be ready enough, if your trip is sooner I wouldn't recommend it.

Do you have a friend who can dedicate long two hour session to it? If so you might get it in ten hours or so of practice.... But they'd have to be a good teacher (be able to teach you how/when the flywheel is taking up the momentum).

Oh, did The Union come close to having a brutal military dictatorship after the civil war like Taiwan had? Why would you put The Union as being closer to Chiang Kai-Shek? Were they the more Capitalistic ones?

Like imagine if the Confederate States fled to Hawaii and claimed to be the real America... And the world took their side and swore to protect the "Confederate States of America" on Hawaii...

Shit wouldn't make sense. You'd be like "WTF world? What's up with that?"

Doesn't have to be expressed via the KMT though. That was the party that ruled Taiwan as a military dictatorship for 25 years after all.

At the very least they should change the country's official name to something that isn't "The Republic Of China". Leaving that as the official name just feels like trolling.

I just don't think I'd fight for in a "We're the real China, no, We're the real China!" based war. If so many Taiwanese identify as Chinese it seems like something The West should stay out of. An extension of their civil war.

What's more Taiwan keeping "The Republic of China" as their official name, and allowing the Chinese National party (KMT) to still operate there is kind of asking for trouble.

If you want to be your own nation they needed to make that clearer about 30 year ago rather than playing these stupid games with names and parties.

Still seems fairly unlikely that China would go to war over Taiwan. It wouldn't be that easy, and their economy is better for having Taiwan as a major trading partner.

Taiwan acts as a political firewall too, with lots of Chinese companies having their front facing customer service there.

A great place to store farts though.

Coca-Cola likes this game, but they only do it because they also have a red flag.

Metamodern.

Worst clown ever.

Do some retail-therapy instead. It's coerced and normatively coded, so you'll feel wholesome rather than complicit afterwards!

Hot take, people will look back on anyone who currently codes, as we look back on the NASA programmers who got the equipment and people to the moon.

They won't understand how they did so much with so little. You're all gourmet chefs in a future of McDonalds.

You wish it was clean up time. There's still theoretically three more years, and that's assuming there's not an attempt at a third term.

According to German Social Theorist, Theodore Adorno, Fathers abdicating responsibility was a big part of Hitler's rise to power, and part of why he was called Furher.
