  • I found the batman vr game on psvr scariest. It wasnt that scary a premise, but because of the immersion, it was extra. You knew joker was in a cell and you had to Kean in to see. Although you knew he would get you, you had no choice. You had to physically force yourself to be attacked bybsteppibg forwards.

    Similarly, the jumping off a cliff to commit suicide in suoerhot vr was quite confronting and scary. I think they edited it out.











  • We have strata, or group ownership of the land and structure of a housing complex. Each owner owns what’s inside the walls of their apartment but the strata owns rye rest and is jointly owned by all owners. Each pays a fee to cover maintenance, upkeep and a sinking fund for major repairs. It works pretty well, for the most part.

    However there is quite an administrative burden and many homeowners dont want the hassle of doing the admin so the busybodies tend to do it and overstep their boundaries often. Many use an external company to manage it. The biggest company was just in the need today as it was fsvouring its own insurance product for all the buildings it manages. Conflict of interest for profit isn’t quite the joint ownership plan strata envisions.


  • That and because the republicans will keep claiming they want to raise taxes and peopke dont like being taxed. Does it matter that its a tax increase that only affects the wealthy? No, as they too are a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

    I do agree that capital income and earned income should be treated equally, but the politics of that make it more difficult.

    It might have been better to reduce the higher income tax by an equivalent amount to match a higher rate, so that the overall tax take is roughly similar, somewhere in the middle, but then shed be accused of helping billionaires.
