Facebook is extremely concerned that people might gently caress, or try to simulate loving, in their corporate-friendly metaverse. Floating torsos are presumably an effort in that direction.

You have to keep in mind that Zuck & co. are marketing this to a demographic that has very little tolerance for jank in general. To me, this is just way to bypass the fact that making a human-played character with an arbitrary view direction walk in a way that doesn't look like a late 90s FPS is hard as balls.

Groping is almost certainly the biggest sex-related problem they are facing, and this does absolutely nothing to help.

VR chat has for ages had features like “mute everyone by default” “hide avatars by default” and “make people who get too close invisible” and it’s still the horrifying den of degeneracy and hardcore furry cum dungeons spilling out into every world. If Zuck is scared of what inevitably forms when people are given VR socializing then he’s barking up the wrong tree.

Still contemplating why I didn't register here under a clever pseudonym


Speaking of Salesforce… I used to work at one of the main farmers’ markets in San Francisco, and one of my regular customers was a very outspoken woman in her 70s. One day she walked up to get her weekly supply of kale and arugula, and started telling me, “you know, I’ve lived in San Francisco all my life, and I absolute cannot stand what they’ve done to the skyline!”

I hem and haw in response, “yeah, you know, that new Salesforce tower kind of looks like…” not sure if I’m going to alienate one of my regulars by accurately describing said tower. And she just comes right out and says it: “YES. THAT IS A GIGANTIC UNCIRCUMCISED PENIS!”

tl;dr however Salesforce makes money, they’re just going to spend it on giant dildos

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Pfffth, is that all you did? I leveraged my initial 10 cents into an actual trip to the moon, ascension to a higher life form, solving the zodiac killer cryptography, discovering the final digit of pi, and cashing out all of my memecoins.

Since I started posting in this thread, I turned having more than 8K into already having a car, a house and a job. Just ordered a $50,000 car by being gainfully employed with regular predictable income paid in actual money.

This is the fever drip, crypto can give you everything you don't have but want, all you have to do is hawk it like Herbalife being the new foundation of our global economy.

Sorry, I wish I had the financial stability of both being invested in crypto and owning a restaurant, both very well know financially prudent "investments" with regular predictable returns and near zero catastrophic liability potential.
