    I heard the unveiling of "Metaverse" yesterday. 

    They talked having virtual Mall's where you can buy things to spruce up your Avatar.  Go to different worlds.  People will actually spend money for their virtual appearances.

    I knew I had read/heard about this before.  Where was it?  Then it hit me.

    Ready Player One.

    If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, please do.  This is what your future holds.

    It’s going that way and there isn’t any stopping it unfortunately.

    That is much different then the virtual reality they are offering Brian, much different.

    Basically they are promoting the fact that you don't have to be who you are online...

    Thankfully, all my FB friends are real people and not some alternate virtual reality version of them.  Right?

    I have been banned from posting on FB for 24 hrs for the following quote.

    "hey yo fat girl are you ticklish"

    Someone posted a pic of the lead singer of digital Underground and we went back and forth w lyrics.  Well this one got me banned for a day...

    The time before that I got a warning for saying "Crazy Europeans" I fought that one and was denied.  That got listed as Hate speech.  It was about how Euros go crazy at their sporting events...

    It's time for a new platform.  This one is fo sho broken...

    I just picked up a 2021 vinyl reissue! Haven’t listened to it yet. You are absolutely correct… it’s a classic.

    This is the copy I grabbed. Reviews on discogs are quite positive. I used to sing the Humpty Dance at karaoke. Love that song haha

    Nothing to see here, just stuffing the ranks of the biggest social media firm on the planet with US State affiliated spies to help ensure you get nothing but the most transparent news without a hint of misinformation or propaganda...Oh and it's happening at all of the other major social networks too.  No big deal.  Any influence agents on this message board?

    I guess it isn't directly owned by the US security state, but it sure does like to staff high level ex spies.  Of course these are ex spies with full autonomy with no connections whatsoever to their former employers and no chance of having been influenced during their long terms at the various agencies..Dodging taxes and getting tax breaks from state, local and federal governments could be seen as indirect payments to META.

    I got banned again for a day.  This one really pissed me off.

    Backstory. Albert Pujols has been using a banned bat for like 13 years.  People started saying it was cheating.  I put up a joke comment " Put an * by his name.  Burn the village".

    This got me a warning that it goes against community standards.  So I ttok a screen shot and posted it, that got me banned for a day.

    Like before, I tried to fight it.  FB response?  "We ae sorry but do to Covid we don't have enough workers to assist you in this matter."

    Bullshit.

    I went to the Help area and went to the ban comment to let them know 'something was wrong'.  I wrote a nice paragraph explaining that there is context to things and if you are going to be judge and executioner there should be someone to mediate if you are wrong, which you are.

    I wish I had more social media followers to blow this shit up...

    Stupid bots...
