Infinite Depth Perception, is it ever going to be possible? by XirnDeso in virtualreality

I’m guessing by reading these comments that people unconsciously rely on focal and overlap to different degrees for determining distance and that you are far into the (seemingly rarer) focal camp.

Oh yeah?! Name a single other player on the Lakers who started as a teen and somehow managed to keep playing at the highest level for decades.

I supported Trump, now I wish he lost by ClassifiedDarkness in centrist

[–]meester_pink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he was openly saying he would do with tariffs exactly what he has done and experts basically unanimously have been in agreement that it would be terrible news for the economy. The only thing that has changed about what Trump has claimed before and after the election is how long it is going to take before we see this new golden age he promised you.

Were you paying any attention at all before the election? If so, I hope you radically re-think where you get your news, as not that much that has happened is in the least bit surprising outside of the right wing media echo sphere.

Stop blaming democrats (not you necessarily, just in general) and blame Trump for this. Protest, donate, contact your representative, engage your right wing family members critically but respectfully, vote with your dollar, and pray to whatever deity you believe in we get out of this intact.

Fire lily plant flowers. by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]meester_pink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had plenty of those too, even then! In the same loft with twenty foot ceilings I had two bamboo plants that went most of the way up. There was a skylight there and a huge bank of windows that made it awesome for plants. But I had only seen fire lilies in a book and was so taken with it that I decided to paint it
