  • Still can’t believe Tech companies don’t realise: If you want the widest adoption, make something as open source, customisable, editable, codable, and anonymous as you can.

    If you don’t want something to be wide spread, demand everyone’s data, make it a black box you can’t edit, customise, or be creative on, and you have to link to all your other profiles.

    Meta would have been best off had logins been entirely optional, and they’re still trying to life that bad reputation three generations later.

    That said the quest is a great product, and I use mine every day to stay fit.

    Can’t be attained without knowledge of all the psychodynamic pressures on each class. The system reproduces it’s self, and the culture that permits it reproduces it’s self for pragmatic, and self-interested reasons of the participants own psycho-cultural, psycho-social, and pragmatic needs.

    Most people are aware of what those are for the poor, but not for the elites who seemingly could quit and retire for multiple lifetimes of enjoying wealth but don’t.

    Those reasons and psychodynamic pressures have to be charted and understood as human (sympathetically) before they can be interfaced with and changed.



  • I’m going to say that somewhere between guys not wanting to wear their work clothes outside of work, and the outfits being a major symbol of workers during the time the IWW were being demonized (the IWW being the “International Workers of The World” an global socialist workers rights union) - baby clothes became a thing.

    Overalls and jumpsuits and softer forms of them are easy to put on babies (due to being one garment)… Cartoons even sometimes depicted them as having a poop-flap at the back for toilet training.

    So men were being told not to wear them, babies were wearing them, and they were being used as a political symbol of international communism and “lowly” blue collar work like mining or steel work.

    … however women, would later (within our youth obsessed culture) want to look cute and young, and at other points in time, wanted to be seen as viable and capable workers… And women were already in the habit of borrowing fashions from men.

    Thus there were cultural rejection factors for men, and cultural attraction factors for women.

    A woman can put a tshirt on, some overalls and a scarf around her hair and indicate she is painting her apartment - the look thus had a social broadcasting function “I’m doing labour”. If a man does this, he may well look like a garbage man, or a child in a romper suit. Male labour is now represented by more modern safety equipment, like ear and eye protection, or boots and gloves (perhaps due to harsher forms of work).

    So the symbol for women of repaint and repair also transferred to television, and from there, the “look” carried popularity for social signalling, as well as started to become somewhat of a queer aesthetic for self-activated and hence partially “masculinized” women, such as lesbians, activists, hikers or environmentalists, and “independent” women, who are “doing it for themselves”.




  • Yeah, via SideQuest (which is a sideloader program), and most game engine support quest development. However it wouldn’t surprise me if Meta were able to prevent that.

    They really are horrible to devs, they offer no real support, especially for Unreal devs, and their dev forums are practically dead because of this.

    They don’t understand how to encourage devs. I was thinking of getting a Meta Quest 3, but seeing this post has me reconsidering the idea.


  • There’s a bunch of investigations and court cases going on still, but what we do know is that there’s hard evidence that Trump wanted to accomplish the goal of staying in office, and was already asking people to use illegal conduct to achieve that goal… Which was high treason.

    He was asking for elector’s to produce counts that give him more votes, he was asking Pence to go against his constitutional duties.

    Some participants involved in J6 did appear to be trying to breach baracaded and protected areas (many of those participants had professional training as police, and military personnel others were from militias). A security guard (who turns out was a Capitol Hill Police Officer, named Eugene Goodman) was protecting an area of the senate where the ballot custody chain was, and did misdirect protestors away from areas the custody chain travels through.

    To my mind that sounds like there was motive, an expressed goal, ongoing attempts, and people with the right training who were at the right place and time.

    Are there any confessions? Not to my knowledge. Have their been convictions of interrupting congressional business, and was that business the certification of vote counts that decide who the President of the United States of America is?

    Yes. Absolutely.

    Will there be more convictions on the matter? I think we’re all waiting to see. There may be a push to leave some until the next President is in office, as to not further upset the processes and stability of American democracy.



  • I’m not even American, but by intercepting the ballot count before it could be certified by the Senate, which was being done in the exact place they were directed to protest at (and that a particular security guard, one individual alone, was smart enough to lead them away from). As I recall they came as close as just a few hallways away from where the count box was being transported.

    Had they successfully intercepted it, that could either lead to Trump having more time to position/submit false electors or their ballots… The plot of which was already rolling.

    He could either stand up appearing to save the day with fraudulent duplicates of the ballot counts (pushing his ballot count via the loaded supreme court, where bribery scandals are both currently ongoing and rife) , or try to convince Pence that this interruption/destruction in ballot count certification made things more constitutional.

    That particular day was legally significant as it was the final step in the authentic chain of custody over the as yet uncertified ballot count. Interrupting that chain of custody would have raised questions, as I believe the constitution provides room for ballot counts to be given on the elector’s authority alone, and that it’s the process of the VP and Senate verifying and authorising them as the official/valid count results that actually certifies them as the true and only valid Presidential Election results (the True account of who is President).

    So Trump both had been attempting parts of this plot already, had already asked Pence to do it (I believe he called him a “pussy” for not doing it), and it was really only Pence’s refusal that prevented it being a coup. Interrupting the ballots may have been a “Plan B” to recover from Pence’s refusal.

    Very lucky that Pence is a staunch constitutionalist and wasn’t pressured into going along with it, and then in lieu of that, that one security guard lead protestors away from the as yet uncertified ballot count box. That may have been all there was between having a sanctified election result, and one that was constitutionally, and legally, in doubt.


  • …and everyone elses point was “that’s not the topic”.

    You’re addressing a statement “there’s never been any violence from any leftwing movement ever” that no one was making… And doing so across multiple comments so it makes it look like you’re trying to make it the topic, but still just wasn’t the topic or a things anyone was claiming.
