The first AR laptop was just released.... to think it went from those weird ass 3DS cards to this is fucking wild????

Im fuckING LOSING IT RIGHT NOW. Everyone??? Meet fucking Spacetop??

You thought your 3DS AR Kirby cards were peak shit?? Think again.

Here's the link to the promo but if you want to hear my excited ass rant, it's below the cut lol:

Spacetop: Own Your Space (youtube)

Seeing how CNET talked about it, and actually seeing the promo made me realize this isn't some wish shit- this is actually happening. As someone who grew up obsessed with sci-fi, my heart is absolutely pounding.

No, this isn't Virtual Reality. It's Augmented Reality (AR). Meaning, despite having glasses on like a headset, your seeing the software literally floating in your living room/bathroom/local @dennys . This is totally in the starter stages, (remember when VR began popping off and it was... yeah) so don't expect it to be some perfect Star Trek shit, but it functions as intended.

Unlike VR, I am getting the impression this AR Laptop is more spatially aware and doesn't make you break your neck to look to the left. I could literally go on for years on this new technology but I'm gonna leave it here- or I'll never stop lol.

Decided to start splicing out all the Thomas scenes from Love & Human Remains in order bc im fucking crazy and also wanted to gift you all with these wonderful gems if your not into watching the full movie.

[piqtescue]

Here's a compiled list of some early Thomas Gibson movies that nobody asked for

It is literally a crime not to share these with you guys. These are also some of the films that I get most of my edit content from when it comes to younger Thomas. All are full youtube links, no parts. Fav one on the list is definitely where he plays a gay Canadian actor👀

Raising Waylon (2004) Thomas plays Reg, a guy who along with his ex, become guardians to his friend's kid.

Love & Human Remains (1993) Thomas plays David, a failed Canadian actor who is staying with his ex Candy, whom he dated before coming out as homosexual.

The Lost Empire/Monkey King (2001) Thomas plays Nicolas Orton, an American businessman that has lived in China for several years.

The Devil's Child (1997) Thomas plays... um.. Lucifer. Peak "niche movie thomas once starred in"

Nightmare Street (1998) Thomas plays Dr. Matt Westbrook, and helps guide a confused woman to the truth around her situation. This was a total fever dream but Thomas was adORABLE in it.

hopefully I can find more full movies featuring Thomas up on youtube- enjoy the finds so far!

✨Entire Cas Folder✨

Since the last one was so controversial + popular, I thought I would post another folder. Same contents as my last folder, but now just strictly CAS for people who want it. It's a mix of alpha + maxis match, though the accessories are mostly alpha and entire folder is mostly new meshes.

Oh, and there's infant stuff for everyone who's struggling to find any.

Entire Mod Folder [pick&choose, GoogleDrive]

I realized I uploaded the last 8 GB version as an entire .rar, so this version will be a standard “browse what you like” type folder. Read the “Read me first” folder before going forward so you can gauge my organization and the misc folders. Link & literally the smallest gif snippet of what’s inside CAS + BB below- happy simming loves!

"When they heard representatives of the Crown were coming to town, they wanted to send a message- so they put up the money for a Paifang. It was common for dignitaries on tours of the country to be greeted by European-style arches; Paifangs were part of a Chinese tradition. They marked districts and welcomed visitors. In a show of goodwill, they anglicized some of the banners with lines like God Save the Queen and English Laws Most Liberal.

It was a display of cultural fusion and that was part of the point. From then on, every time a Governor General came to Victoria, the community built arches all over Chinatown. And embedded within the decorations was a symbolic statement. Chinatown was a distinct community but it was loyal to Canada as long as its residents were treated fairly The problem was,

They weren't."

-Canadiana: Victoria's Forbidden City [4:45-5:36]

This will be the first of many posts explaining British Columbia's (mostly victoria + surrounding areas) long history of Anti-Asian sentiment and the ways it's still ongoing. Yes, our government takes this "seriously" and the safety level might be better than other places, but in 2020 Vancouver saw more reported hate crimes against people of Asian heritage than any other North American city.

The history of the racism that plagues the province of BC goes very, very far back and it is still very present. In future posts, I will be uncovering BC's overlooked history and how harmful stereotypes about people of Asian heritage have woven into our province's society over the course of 162 years. I will also shed light on how we, as a community, can stop the normalization of the disgusting behaviour and violence that goes on in our cities, towns and schools on a daily basis.

Please note:

I am not of Asian heritage. I am a Ukrainian Canadian and independent researcher. If any of my information is incorrect or missing critical factors please feel free to message me so I can correct it.

Obviously they can’t talk about serious matters on a social platform, but here’s what their posting while their fellow officers kill innocent people. Kind of revolting…

Oh, and also this happened yesterday:

Nursing Student in BC physically injured upon “wellness check” by RCMP officer.

Reblog if you believe the BLM Movement is good, and that we need the protests.

Malahat Journal: First Post

**************************

Please Note:

    I am not part of the Malahat Nation, and am not of Aboriginal descent; but am passionate about sustaining this Mountain’s ecosystem and it’s future. I have lived at the top of the Malahat for 20 years; and am so thankful to have grown up in this tranquil forest. But since 2000, I’ve watched every logging venture and highway expansion from Mill Bay to Goldstream create disaster after disaster. 

    Dead and displaced wildlife are becoming a growing concern due to an increase in industrial development and poorly planned infrastructure. Minor rockslides have happened due to said development; waterfalls, streams and ecosystems have been disrupted, and continue to grow weaker as I write this. Gasoline, diesel, and casual pollution has caused thousands of salmon to die in the waters of Goldstream, and the ecosystems of Bamberton have also been seriously affected by development. The list of damages this mountain has received is very, very long.

     I watched the forest I call home slowly deteriorate because of the industrialization and construction along the famous stretch of pavement hell that lies within it. I have seen too many displaced bears, cougars, and deer; and way, way too many century old trees be hauled out of the Mountain by truck. 

We need to drastically change the way we are treating this Aboriginal mountain. The “improvements” and “additions” of the Malahat Drive are destroying a diverse and endangered ecosystem on an ancient mountain AND IT HAS TO STOP. The Coastal Douglas-fir Biogeoclimatic zone is the only area in Canada that holds Gary-Oak ecosystems, and many species in this zone are being threatened with extinction. Only 4% of it is under protected area status. 

**************************  

[[[To The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastrcture of BC]]]

CONSTANTLY WIDENING A HIGHWAY WILL NOT SOLVE THE DAILY TRAFFIC BUILD UP. JUST VICTORIA HAS MORE THAN 10,000 PEOPLE PER SQUARE MILE- THAT NUMBER WILL CONTINUE TO GROW- AND SO WILL THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES. PLEASE STOP FUCKING THINGS UP- YOUR DESTROYING NATURE AND ALSO EMBARRASSING YOURSELVES.

**************************  

These websites/blogs are mainly dedicated to informing the community about the environmental crisis Malahat Mountain is in, and how our government ignores Aboriginal Title Rights, but will include traffic updates during the winter season. In my findings, research, and writing, I am persistent with the facts being correct; but if I happen to fail; please contact me so I can correct it!
