 Feds Spend $1,788,748 on Virtual Reality Game for Young Gay Men
Posted By Elizabeth Harrington On January 2, 2019 @ 5:00 am

The National Institutes of Health is spending over $1.7 million on a virtual reality game for young men who have sex with men.

"Tough Talks" is a virtual simulation that allows young gay men to practice how to tell their partner they have HIV, using virtual reality technology. A technology training company—Georgia-based Virtually Better, Inc.—as well as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies are creating the game.

Yeppers ... that's money well spent there!  Maybe the video could teach them how to erect a fence.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
