A TV critic’s take on the Apple Vision Pro

Why does something that looks so good feel so bad?
...
That was wild enough, but later, when I tried shooting the twins in 3D and played the video back in “immersive” mode — which basically wraps you in the scene you filmed — I realized I was looking at a future superweapon

A TV critic’s take on the Apple Vision Pro

With the Apple Vision Pro, everything is magnified, feelings included. And you’re alone.

The Washington Post

From passive #avoidance or low key #isolating, even when in #relationships, to only feeling #safe alone or with #pets or #kids, Complex #PTSD (#CPTSD) can impact how we regulate ourselves and #triggers, how people #trigger us, and how our inner and outer #critic can sabotage #connection, #vulnerability and relationships with ourselves and others.

COMPLEX PTSD (CPTSD) AND WHY WE ISOLATE

Well, I went 3 years and 8 months after having a #cold or #flu late December 2019 / early January 2020. Since the outbreak probably came through LAX near where I work, it was probably early #COVID-19 and it was horrible, with carry-on symptoms lasting almost a month.

Last week, I needed to attend a tech conference in Las Vegas for work. I saw masks a total of 5 times, besides my own. I aways wore my mask, but then there was this young guy in a black baseball cap, coughing and hacking in a gift shop, sounding almost like whooping cough, not masking, not even covering his mouth. Just shopping with his female friend without a care.

/You know who you are./

Is it too much to ask that you wear a mask when you are sick and have to go out of the house? Everyone is Asia does this...

Even a KN95 mask with a good seal can't keep that kind of dose of virus out, however.

Hey, @CNN! #Stop #promoting the #racist trope and use of the word #marijuana. Unless you’re speaking in #Spanish, your promotion of the word continues to associate the #medicine with the #racist history that threatens to undermine our #democracy today.

Tell your #journalists and #writers to get over themselves and stop #isolating & #insulting us.

This past few days have been horrible. This gorgeous furball has been doing her very best to make it less so by dozing near me for much of it.

She's been taking walks with other members of the household then returning to my plague pit. She has barely bugged me for treats or playtime, just been close. I think she understood.
