VR = R, A Simple Stretch
Last night I had another extended session in VR. I spent the majority of the time in Big Screen, it seems to be the one social app I have found where you can find a good number of adults consistently. This is like the polar opposite of VR Chat where it is apparently filled with ADD riddled kids running around like maniacs non-stop.
So with adults come adult issues. I found myself in a room labeled atheist bible discussion. There were a few people in the room that dominated the discussion, which for the most part was civil and intelligent. I was basically an observer. The room was hosted by an atheist who was reasonable and clear in his points as were some of the christians in the room as well. However at certain points things got heated and you would have three or four people talking loudly at once. I eventually had to tap out but it was an interesting room to be a part of.
I then jumped into another chat, this was held on an outdoor balcony of a high rise building. This was less civil as it was discussion/arguments between conservatives and liberals. Again I just observed. I was only ably to tolerate this chat for a short period of time before I headed out. I exited the room thinking it was sad but not surprising that virtual reality mimics actual reality in regards to human behavior. I tried making my own room for a bit. I only had one person enter, we talked for a bit but then I closed it down.
This morning as I was getting ready to go out to do the chickens I started the classic good morning stretch. You know the one where you extend your arms out to the side crucifix style, usually accompanied with a big yawn. Well as I was extending my arms I got a sharp pain in my left shoulder blade that made me immediately retract my arms and wince in pain. As I went outside with Elsa I told her how ridiculous it was that even stretching can hurt nowadays.
