pokamon go continues to make the rounds

Hi all.
Well, Its been raining all day and thats left me catching up on a lot of podcasts 3 of which are manamon based.
I have completed a bit more of the game to.
After I got done with the podcasts I still felt in a gaming mood.
I started searching for pokamon go articles not for anything special, but just to go through a few pages well a couple and see.
Things like pokamon go, terrorist, or just pokamon go in general taking my fancy.
The following seems to have come from sites and news wires.
1. the game is really popular.
People will kill and steal just to play it its that epic.
There are guides on what to wear, and tips to be safe.
The game had a major privacy hole being able to fix your google so it could potentially spy on you, this aparently was an error and is fixed.
Sadly there are rogue versions with hacking and malware suggested but no one has actually seen this.
On a positive side, one article said that everyone is playing and if that is so then we are getting closer and closer together.
Sadly, that was about the only article on a piecefull nature and this is sad.
2. the shit hitting the fan.
This part of the article sadly is the non nice bit, it could contain swearing maybe.
1. Sadly the security hole prompted people to go and say that google and its internal companies are cia and nsa funded.
And that we are paying to get spyed on and the government is just looking for terrorists in normal people.
Its scare mongering even I know that privacy is as dead as the dinasaws but thats not stopping this junk from coming out.
The next thing on the list is that the black community feel that at least from one guy’s prospective that he could die from police shooting him for just playing.
Sadly, part of this is true.
People as I have said have been shot, robbed, murdered and other such things while playing.
Its not gone the bad guys way though.
Someone tried to rob a group of people in a car that were playing.
One guy stopped midgame to blow the robber away then I assume continued playing.
It seems also that pokamon have been placed to randomly.
Ie I know in a lot of these online animation movies everyone’s house and world is an open world.
I know that while I am ready to let my online privacy go to some extent well prity much I don’t care, I do care if some fucking gamer shows up at my house at 3 am in the morning.
There have also been some accidents of various types and people being not concentrating, playing while driving.
People have been fired while playing the game.
This has included in important government meetings a reporter got caught out playing.
I know people at my aunt’s work having frequent breaks to find pokimon outside.
On the other hand, if you need a smoke or a joint or something its a perfect excuse well maybe not if you do it like 20 times a day.
Shops and some businesses are putting signs to stop people coming in just to find a pokimon.
There are dating sites for pokimon in japan.
The criminals or other questionable governments are doing this to.
In ucrane, especially the east, a site developed to hunt down pokimon has set these to be terrorists or what the government there thinks are terrorists.
Mostly these include journalists.
Sadly, there have been 2 breaches or probably more likely deliberate data dumps of personal information and other stuff out there.
So we now have a witchhunt site going on.
There is a petition to get this game accessible to the blind which I am not signing.
I have played a lot of online and offline animation and other rpg styles.
Sadly, there are a few things that people or at least the makers should realise.
1. there are actually people that either due to ignorance or the fact they want to try to kling on to old values are affraid of privacy.
2. randomly placing everything all over the place while fine in game is not fine in the real world.
You could be shot for going into a place uninvited.
3. You could contribute indirectly to terrorist activity.
4. you could also indirectly contribute to government hate and therefore home grown terrorism.
On the other side you may just bring everyone together in harmony as long as you are not muslam or black that is or a cop because aparently they seem to like shooting blacks lately.
I think myself that it is a blessing the blind can’t play this and we should stay the fuck away from this.

Pushing this entire thing asside, I think we as humans are seeing the limits of vertual reality.
Its been science fiction but now its actually real.
We are making the first step, imagine what will happen if we make a matrix style reality.
I remember being stuck in a game and well just stuck there all day.
I can literally get stuck playing with my headsets that I don’t hear people coming in the house.
The only reason I let myself go mostly is that my dad is retired and mostly at home.
However I see the temptation.
Ages ago, when life was depressing, the game world was something I really liked to be in and not the real one.
I got myself out of that ofcause but I have friends that have to eventually quit all electronics for a while.
Even though I know where I am, I really need to focus on some out time because if I don’t well.
This vertual reality stuff is here to stay, allready we are hitting the reality barrior.
A lot of stuff does not synk.
We are going to have to start thinking.
Right now I don’t think we are ready for real world intergration.
Most of what I read was not peacefull, no matter what it talked about it mostly involved others killing others, need I say more.
We as humans are not ready.
We are building to world war 3, maybe we should concentrate on that, and then if we are still alive maybe we can focus on that.
I doubt we will, but its nice to think so anyway.
What concerns me the most are the uses we as humans have put this thing into, most of which are not helpfull and a lot are round the app and not the app itself.
I have seen some things cross over into the real world.
Read last week’s article, but not many of those.
Now if you could buy with real cash, actual units, but also actual game items, food, drink, etc then maybe I’d go for it.
My biggest concern is that we are going down the road to hell with this one.
At some point there will be trouble, not the small troubles we have been having but something really big.
