  • Me too. I bought the first quest before Facebook acquired it. Now that Facebook/Meta own quest and stuff ... I've been staying away from VR for now.

    I'll definitely be doing my best to get one as soon as it's available. Everything about it sounds hype.

  • I've always liked vim but one thing that I really loved about it was when I started using vim mode in zsh.

    Being able to just navigate through commands in my terminal and easily highlight and edit and all that ... it's so good.

  • I mean this, as per Google's definition (because I suck at it):

    A parasocial relationship is a one-sided, one-sided connection where an individual develops a sense of intimacy and friendship with a public figure, like a celebrity or fictional character, who is unaware of their existence

    I don't think Internet normal friends beats meeting friends in real life but frankly it's the only way some of us even get to have friendships nowadays. I still play games with friends in Poland and the UK despite being in Canada. I also think that it's a more important part of life now because kids "seemingly" play less in the streets and they seem to play Roblox, Minecraft, or Fortnite or whatever with friends online and as much as I hate giving kids too much screen time ... they're socializing with their friends and it's important to keep that going too.

  • and then people wonder why there's a loneliness epidemic and complain they have no friends

    Life's short and it's nice spending it and sharing it with others.

    A lot of my friends that prefer to be alone actually want to hang out but most people hate organizing and stuff. So I usually make the effort. It's better to have stories and experiences that are shared. Better being like, remember when we saw that game together? Remember trying to get home and being stranded? Remember going on that trip? Life's short.

    I'm also surrounded by friends that say they wanna do stuff a regret not doing it. Although most have kids now, so they're unable to have the time nowadays.

    To reiterate what you said,, there's about as many comments complaining about loneliness and how people forming bubbles and parasocial relationships with internet people and even weird AI relationships now. People act like it's the worse thing in the world to hang out. It only gets harder when you're older too.

    Let me be clear. I don't waste time on people that never wanna hang out. If you wanna be home and are rude when I invite you out, I will very simply leave you alone. That's fine by me.

  • My friend told me that one of her former colleagues, wicked smart dude, was talking to her about space. Then he went off about how there were pyramids on Mars. She was like, "oh ... I'm quite caught up on this stuff and I haven't heard of this info. Where can I find this info?" The guy apparently has been having super long chats with whatever LLMand thinks that they're now diving into the "truth" now.
