I know americans get upset if you imply that white people could be slaves but truly your own people would enslave you as often as not.
And remember that white people have not always been seen as a single monolithic group. Someone also being "white" does not necessarily mean you see them as being of your own people. And some ethnic groups now generally seen as being white weren't always seen that way.
Recently a couple of my sisters were arguing with my dad over the idea that Irish indentured servitude was a form of slavery. Now for sure it was not the same thing as African slavery, but can't more than one thing be bad without it always being a competition? One of my sisters was taking the stance that the idea Irish people were slaves in any sense is just white supremacist propaganda.
Indentured servitude is a poorly negotiated business contract. The servant wasn’t owned by the master. Children were not property that could be sold. They aren’t even remotely similar

Yeah they are indenturing themselves as servants because they’re poor negotiators

Many Indentured servants were subject to horrendously mind boggling fuckery. Basically slavery. Not very fun

Not much different from what they were born into then. The majority of the peoples that lived on these British Isles faired no better. We were no more than peasants held in a yoke by the landed gentry.

Yeah presumably they accepted such shitty contracts out of total desperation. But nominally it was their own choice so no problem I guess. Should have negotiated better.

Picked up an Oculus Quest about two weeks ago. Found it with the box and everything at a pawn store for $200, kind of a steal.
VR is getting pretty crazy though. Visited family over the last week and tested various different games out on it.

Cool. Does the stereoscopic effect work with arbitrary 3d games or do they need to be made for VR specifically?

It's standalone, so everything is self contained running off android. There is a way to stream from PC though, but I haven't used it yet. I think unless it's made for it, it's not going to be 360. Though it may project an emulated screen that plays the game.
But I did play a fan port of quake 2 and half life and they were working pretty good, though they were tweaked to make the controllers and head work with the game.

I put something on my tongue just now too, probably not as fun though. It was a giant piece of cake! Think I ate too much.
Today was spent working and listening to the Dead and WSP to celebrate Jerry's B-Day!!!
Happy B-Day Jerry!!! Thanks for all the great music, changing the concert/music scene, and the counter-culture that you created!!! You were a great man.
After the music we went to the Drive-In Movie Theater. Deadpool was playing and I thought it was pretty good movie.
