Nothing wrong with euthanasia. 
Unless you think they work like the suicide booths in Futurama.

We're not though. Some weird tech bros in California are pushing this and the general public is just a bit bemused by this thing that no one asked for and no one outside of those weird tech bros cares about.

Think guest lists that number in the thousands. Gift registries that feature NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. Maybe even destination weddings in space.

Can we somehow link the suicide pod and the metaverse?

I mean, I can excuse 14 year old kids for abusing that word and using it in incorrect ways, but journalists?

The erosion of any sense of professionalism in modern journalism is one is the most damaging things to happen to western civilisation and we will regret it once we have completely destroyed it.

Consider that it's Buzzfeed and they know that such usage of the word is sure to generate discussion about it. Anything to drive engagement.

Is it because i'm getting old, being left behind, or is a parallel dimension made up entirely of morons, manifesting itself?

1. Wait, this is a lady doing the pissing?
2. Why does this sound like RATM?
3. Why is there a trumpet?
4. Of course the volunteer is a fat old white guy in Florida.
5. Holy shit that's a lot of piss.

I love that in 2021 it's just up on twitter.com instead of having to go to the dark web or liveleak. I also find it incredibly hilarious and fucked up that(although mostly harmless) this is going to follow these people around forever. Like how do you live that down after it goes viral like that?

P.S. these dudes are responsible for the awful end credits Rage Against the Machine cover in Matrix 4.

Couldn't explain why it was a particularly bad/hilarious choice to my normie companions without revealing myself as a chronically online sicko.

Wow, i'd love to have a virtual lady comment on everything i buy!

"Didn't you buy Nutella last week, you fat fuck?"

Also, i love having to fumble around with a cartoon 3d milk carton, instead of quickly click "add to cart" on a browser page and be done in 2 minutes!

Cross-posting from our conversation in the random gaming thread because it's relevant here.

Sure, they're ironing out the technical issues, but they are making no progress on the social and practical issues inherent in VR for gaming and for other purposes.

I may live to regret this opinion, but VR and the whole meta verse thing is just nerds with unlimited money trying to live out their 90s cyberpunk fantasies. It's dead in the water for mainstream adoption because the practical purposes are inherently terrible compared to other ways of doing things.

[Don Rumata]

For sure, i mainly look at VR for gaming, both arcade and immersive sim kind of thing, not as an alternative to do completely mundane tasks.
It's just the wrong interface.

In general, anything involving gestures is a failure when it comes to mundane usability, which is why Minority Report in bullshit.
If i have to be in front of a computer 10 hours a day, i'd rather move a mouse in a 10²cm area, rather than wave my arms around like a Goalie.

"I've detected you already have enough milk, you ought to put that back," she admonishes me as I add gallon after gallon, far more milk than one man requires.  The physics-enabled jugs slide around and two of them bounce out of the cart.  She doesn't seem to know how to react, and I decide I am done.

We finally visit the electronics department.  "Ah, I see you saved the best for last, we can get that TV you wanted!" she says excitedly.  My hand hovers over the "purchase" button, but I pause.  Suddenly I reach into the cart to pull out one of the gallons of milk, and her face falls.  I unscrew the virtual lid, and while solemnly locking eyes with her, I pour virtual milk all over the virtual TV.  Silently and with commitment, I do this again and again, until my cart is empty and jugs lie strewn about the ruined electronics department.  My work complete, I turn and teleport out of the store without making a purchase.

VR is definitely gonna grow in importance in medical and military processes, virtual tourism, sex... not so much mundane tasks or work conferencing.

I liked that they showed the total for current items in your shopping cart.  That was the most absurd part.

When my fiancee and I went to visit you guys in 2019, we did a tour of the Baths of Caracalla, and we had the pseudo VR app/cardboard glasses for our phones, that allowed us to see what it looked like back in the day, superimposed over the modern day version. Was really neat, definitely excited to see more stuff like this.

That's actually a really good social media campaign for something that, at its core, is unlikely to get much attention. Particularly for a government organisation which is subject to so much oversight and restriction when it comes to social media.

The message is positive, funny and a bit silly. It takes advantage of dumb internet culture and turns that into eyeballs on their new consumer protection website. It also attracts a demographic which is notoriously difficult to reach for something like consumer complaints.
