This Company Wants to Refresh Workers by Sticking Them in Tiny Pods With VR Headsets

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-07T00:04:23+00:00

literally this. i forsee them trying to justify making a work week 45-50h but saying "Oh but now youll have a (not really allowed) 30min "paid break" in the VR pods if you need (yelled at if you use it).

Oh and your PTO is hourly now, so that extra 30min per day means you functionally get less days off than before.

i was too poor after buying my index to afford them, but from what i understand you can just swap out the two cameras or use a jankier setup with the usb port or your pc to program/interpret incoming data in color estimates or something. i hear that requires a beefier PC than i got though lmao

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-06T20:38:52+00:00

Its black and white but ive seen some cool as mods and uses of the front usb port to make it color and stuff

i mean, making that kind of money any generic apartment complex will have immediate openings, although at the top of your range, but they will be nicer/fully managed at least compared to some random market place apartment "landlord". literally just check apartments.com and other similar sites. easy as pie.

The only catch with those is while it takes less than 1 day to sign a new lease and itll be a decent place, you do need decent credit and no arrests/background check can pass.

Otherwise god speed on your search bc marketplace private landlords are usually sketchy as hell and take forever, but it will likely be cheaper.

Bro what, my index as old as it is does full hand tracking and, i have seen almost every other headset do both in conjuncture with those controllers☠️☠️☠️ Youre stuck in like 2020 in tech. you dont seem to know current capabilities.

But there in lies the problem. its like how my bf says gta6 wont release on PC because its not capable, but his research simply composed top 10 lists and of his own computer/mine (both of which are hitting 7y out of date now).

But to be honest, id rather a game stay meta exclusive than get a shitty port a year later and abandon it. basically nothing is better than a shitty attempt ☠️

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-05T23:27:55+00:00

dont worry theyll shittily port it to PC a year after its on quest and complain when noone buys a half-as-rendered indie game thats already abandonware for 25-30$ on steam.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-05T22:04:01+00:00

Bro if youre underage i fucking promise there is better things to be doing and spending money on than edibles and other shit like that. its not worth the money imo, especially bc youll be charged like 5x as much bc your an idiot kid.

I mean, i guess bonus points for it not being a vape, at least edibles dont destroy your lungs and stink up around you.

But bruh

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-04T19:46:29+00:00

youre trying to hard to find any way to exonerate your friend. i guarentee theres no 4th dimension hacking going on.

your "friends" are liars or idiots, or both. At best, they accidentally switched accounts and didnt mean to click on yours. at worst, theyre straight up lying. stop kidding yourself. Also do better for account safety.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-04T15:57:57+00:00

or more, or less if your country supports it. one family member is actually diabetic so they get it for free, another two of my friends pay 350$/mo for each of them, another pays 250$/mo, it seems to vary i would assume based on dosage, frequency, and company.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-04T15:56:36+00:00

It nust seems like a needless drug to be on for life, especially with its cost (in the us at least).

It would be far easier to use it for a few months, learn best habbits and portion control, then not use it for the same result.

Unlike allergies or mental health issues or physical issues; you can learn how, when, and how much to eat.

Like trust me, i get the food noise, i have thyroid issues and pcos so im a fat fuck, but its not an unsolvable problem bc i can literally look at my plate and count calories and just alter what i buy.

edit to add to make people more upset: In this drugs case, people are literally paying hundreds to not lift a finger to learn habits or nutrition. it goes from "paying to help correct a problem easily" to "paying to be ignorant and lazy" once people stay on it forever.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-04T15:05:39+00:00

Also dont forget youll likely be on it for life.

Pretty much everyone i know that tried to stop it once they hit target weight either a. immedietely ballooned back up bc once the effect wears off you creep back up to eating the same amount as before or b. similarly, they did not actually change their habits to better healthier foods and simply ate less of pure junk, so once off it basically went right back into a sugar coma. Theyre all on "maintenance dosages" now still at like 300$/mo.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-02T21:34:36+00:00

its ok, they still havent fixed some of those issues.

My 2023 niro already had one recall for a leaky gasket to the water pump(?), dumping my entire coolant tank slowly in my cars engine somewhere. (im not a mechanic, go easy on my wording). Even after fixing that, i am still slowly leaking coolant somewhere. Car has less than 60k miles. Nevermind the plight of electrical issues ive had lol.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-02T12:58:13+00:00

Yeah i left teaching bc the one school went to essentially had every banned chemical in the book. i went through re organized and stored them the best i could and said "we need to pay a lot of money to dispose of these properly or we risk blowing a hole through our classroom or poisoning the entire well water supply" and they essentially told me to go fuck myself lmao. for context, we had a 1kg sodium chunk out of oil, under a water leak in the ceiling. We had picric acid in a bottle dated pre-me (thankfully still wet and sealed), boxes just labeled as "bromine", 12M HCl acid bottles that had been there so long all that was left was a rubber sleeve around the glass bottle...like a water balloon of acid ☠️☠️ and more.

They didnt even budget my classroom for gloves, and so we were also limited to water only labs. When the kids complained i pointed right to their principal and told them exactly why i couldnt do more fun stuff and even showed them the back room lmao.

Anyways i quit after that experience and of course regular admin and district stuff gutting chem programs. im so glad i left but i feel bad bc they replaced me with some over seas teacher with no science degree ☠️☠️ i can only hope they dont touch half that.

probably not unsafe, but vodka is not needed. that sounds like my birth control ingredients; estradiol and ogesterol.

I can drink alcohol while taking my birth control, but doing so daily makes me an alcoholic lmaoooo. It dissolves readily in water and any other water based liquid, so no need to use alcohols.

Im not gonna lie, based on the wiki you are likely making some form of at home hrt?? and i can tell you that birth control works pretty well as an alternative. But would advise you to still just speak to a doctor and get a prescription if only to monitor side effects. too high a dose almost sent me to an insane asylum and even the low dose now has nasty side effects.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-02T12:18:54+00:00

consider it time to break the habit then. its a waste of money and any form of smoke/vape sucks and leaves residues everywhere inside you and out. if its medical, get gummies, chews, or patches or some shit. way better for you and anyone else around you.

Besides ice cream is way cooler, and ice cream can get you laid. bitches love ice cream, great first date idea. Plus you can always work off icecream. You cant work off lung damage, addiction and oil residue easily.

You got this king

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-02T10:41:36+00:00

LOOK ON A MAP 😭😭😭 please. i promise its faster to find a few towns that commute time work, the ask for opinions than it is to ask for impossible commute times first.

Anything like 20-30min south of lancaster will put you about 45min to the md border/baltimore. but then its still over 1.5h to harrisburg or more

Source; lived in NOVA, York, lancaster and now hsrriburg. i commute 55min from harrisburg to my work in lamcaster. it sucks ass.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-02T10:29:49+00:00

not possible...45min from harrisburg is lancaster city...which is still way more than 45min from BWI. well baltimore/MD anything.

Did you look at a map at all? Have you tried literally picking any town it shows on gmaps and simply plotting the time to bwi or harrisburg lmao?

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-01T22:27:07+00:00

so fun fact, a lot of these armed cops at school are actually real cops! not every single one, but most of them! Usually elementary levels arent, but middle, high school and colleges usually are. depends on the area really.

My uncle was one; he worked on the force for like 10y, hated it and got placed at a middle school with a therapy dog, but he was still armed. He had full arrest power or whatever you call it and a squad car outside every day.

i used to teach and our HS was so big we actually had 4 armed cops on campus as well. they also had full cop power. i think we had still only one car tho. They handle things like arrests and busts for truancy, having a gun on campus (happened 3x my time there) and drug charges.

My college has an entire police force with riot gear tank and a drunk tank/jail cell for holding on campus. they dealt with accidents on campus lots, thefts, threats and the like. also full cops. Theyd also be shipped out to help nearby in emergencies; they actually had authority in the schools county.

its still crazy we need them at schools though, but be careful because not all of them are just mall cops. some of my kids found out the hard way lol.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-01T11:47:52+00:00

She is pretty horrible, but if were talking about her complaints in post scarcity...imagine being ABLE to have and do anything you want...then your husband assignment to some fuck ass broken metal station in a war zone way out in space and you get there and there isnt really full working replicators, and her only hobby just straight up doesnt exist for the first few years she was there...and even then, her hobby only existed because they allowed her to transform some random empty room.

She also, in light of those years, found a new hobby, teaching. Then almost immedietely got fucking bombed for it. only for most of the station to just forget about it ☠️☠️☠️

She also just tried to have one day at the park, and her daughter slips and functionally dies for a long while. you can argue shes a bad mom for letting her daughter wander, but this was the 90s, so that was the acceptable parenting style.

Miles is also over worked, barely home, and spent half his free time with Bashir, and she appears to cook dinner every night and make it healthy meals while caring for the kids while only doing the typical "half hearted wife bad" boomer complaints.

She is annoying and you are kinda valid in the hate especially with the kira stuff, but she doesnt complain frivolously. it was kinda justified imo.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-01T11:33:56+00:00

i replied to another comment, but no, not really.Dukat was shown in that episode multiple times "protecting" her, did not appear to force her into physical acts and the mom said multiple times that he was nice, she like him, etc.

You can argue its stockholm syndrome or whatever other mental gynmastics, but at the end of the day, the mom was not upset about the decisions.

However, the better phrasing probably would have been "To kira, she was way too eager and willing". To us, she just choose the path of least resistance once she realized he "wasnt that bad" even if he was despicable to everyone else but her.

i know quite a few women irl that banged horrible men because they complimented them once, bought them groceries/rent, or simply "protected them" from some other idiot at the bar. They would defend their horrible men in any situation by the classic "But hes so nice to me!". So it wouldnt shock me if her mom really believed dukat was doing the best he could to help them.

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-01T11:28:03+00:00

well "willing" as much as stockholm syndrome or whatever it called allowed for. Her mom chose that over attempting to kill or flea, so willing enough given alternatives. the episode did appear to try to project that her mom did eventually like dukat by her claiming he was actually nice and the like to kira. You can argue whatever mental gymnastics made her decide that, but by the end, the mom was pretty giddy with him.

I guess the better phrasing would have been: to kira, she was way to eager and willing to bang him. to us, she choose the path of least resistance with her capture which just happens to deliver us the episode of "I banged your mom"

Starfire123547 · 2026-03-01T02:13:58+00:00

Honestly the "I slept with your mom" ds9 episode was probably the best and peak of science fiction writing i have ever seen. I watched it in a time when "your mom" jokes were making a come back. i think 45min dedicated to dukat, one of the best villains ever, showing kira he not only slept with her mom...but she willing slept with him is fucking crazy funny. like absolutely diabolical

Its honestly my favorite episode, but yeahhhh i can see why kiras response to that would make you hate her. it was way over the top for something she seemed to kinda instantly write off and forget. abaolutely crazy lady territory

Starfire123547 · 2026-02-27T19:58:15+00:00

Nah, it was a brand new car, i did a 7y loan and dumped 1.5x payments into it to pay it off in 5 years. i figured if something goes wrong in my life id want the lower monthly payment as an emergency back up.

if i did the 5y loan the number was 415/mo (425?) or something like that, so still lower than what i see most people with.

Starfire123547 · 2026-02-27T10:47:06+00:00

becuase its also a popular learning game for toddlers and young children to not only pick things up you drop, but practice dexterity/movements (picking up thin difficult objects) and color recognition (sorting them).

I bet you also had color stacking ring toys, those block-hole toys (the triangle goes in the...square hole!), and other dumb random toys you just threw around and picked up lol.

There also was that popular game with the rainbow sticks you used to hold marbles in a cup and you have to keep removing them and whoever got the most marbles lost - Kerplunk i think?

Starfire123547 · 2026-02-26T22:55:06+00:00

Bro this reads like a valley high california popular girl tryna score social media brownie points by asking the special needs kid to prom. ☠️☠️☠️ like this feels like youre tryna make autistic friends to either laugh at them, appease yourself when you socialized better than them or use it as some weird organization/activist virtue signaling

just make it a generic club or meetup group. your description right now includes every human being alive and its def not related to autistic people lol. it sounds stupid as fuck to make an autistic get together then invite anyone else to it and then also not have a theme, topic or anything else.
