  • I’ve accidentally been accused of staring before. I tend to space out and not even focus my eyes, but it can look like I’m staring. That said, yeah, it’s not great. I’m a white guy who’s frequently in rural parts of Japan and can get stared at sometimes. Moreso if my tattoos are visible, but that’s due to their negative stigma still here (I only have a few on my arms).







  • I will continue not using it. I was interested in Oculus until they sold to FB and then I nope’d right out of that. I really did think VR was neat, but various things kept me from pulling the trigger. If it becomes the only way to use chunks of the internet, I just won’t use them; I grew up still in the analog world (though we did have BBS and very early dial-up in the '80s), and I could go back to it. I’d honestly miss educational content more than anything else, but I can get books. In my lifetime, that strategy would probably still work fine.
