  • Digital nothing CAN have value. Like imagine having a central plot on a long running popular Minecraft server, or having a large housing plot in final fantasy XIV, or a sick mount in WoW or any other MMO. The thing is that those are desirable not just because they’re limited, but because the game is a desirable place to begin with. Artificial scarcity with nothing backing it is useless, like monkey jpegs and beanie babies.

    So if the metaverse wasn’t dogshit and actually drew in at least tens of thousands of regular users, yeah he could’ve made some money selling digital real estate. Instead, he led with “you can buy real fake land!” with no real reason other than exclusivity.


  • as far as VR interaction with other’s avatars for the purposes of social interaction? Nope.

    Except vrchat is actually HUGE. Now I’m sure the metaverse could never have unseated it as #1, but it could have been a thing if zuck actually made it not look like shit and didn’t try to commodity the hell out of it.








  • Tell me more about punishing evil infants.

    1 Samuel 15:2-3

    Thus says the Lord of hosts: I will punish the Amalekites for what they did in opposing the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt. 3 Now go and attack Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”

    The difference being that parents don’t literally create every aspect of their child with the perfect knowledge of exactly what it will do. God does. To imply God didn’t intend for Satan to do what he did means you have to throw away either all-knowing or all-powerful for your idea of God.


  • One of mine took 3 people (including me), 2 pairs of gloves, 2 towels, and half a cat carrier to finally vaccinate. Next visit I told the vet she’d need sedated. He said “I’ve dealt with calicos before.” I then heard what legitimately sounded like a large wild cat screaming. He came back in and informed me they’d need to sedate her.
