    I think mundane property crime is the most likely motivation until and unless we hear more.

    That's freaking scary. However, this nut job should be happy she wasn't there. If she was, so would have her security detail. I'm assuming the Speakers security isn't there to try and calm the situation but more so to neutralize the situation.

    I think this is just a preview of the bat-shit crazy yet to come.

    I think the preview was when Supreme Court Justices were targeted for assassination.

    Things are becoming surreal. Maybe we should join the Metaverse after all. Zucc looks so happy by the Eiffel Tower.

    I still can't get over Zuck's obsession with an obviously terrible idea. "Meta" has lost $700 billion in value in the last year.

    “Where’s Nancy” is not “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?!?!”. If that’s true what was said. that’s direct intent.

    Up here politicians were calling for security details for being shouted at in public.

    Probably a dumb question, but what is the point of the Metaverse? Is a video game? Or like a virtual chat room? Or your own personal Sims style adventure? Or you build shit like in Minecraft?

    Yeah I don’t get why he thinks anyone would prefer meeting in some bullshit virtual world with coworkers rather than just a Teams/Slack/Zoom call. It’s bad enough I have to see what dumb shit my coworkers put up as their video call backgrounds that are all invariably stupid. Except the blurry one. I tell my coworkers that it’s not blurred out at all in hoping they think they have astigmatism (it doesn’t work).

    It answers the question “What if we all lived inside an N64 Game, but not a cool one like GoldenEye?”

    Zuckerberg had part of an idea once, became insanely rich from it, and he should take all that money and fuck off. Talk about someone who isn’t cut out for being famous.

    The biggest problem with the metaverse is that it requires a totally revolutionary technology (which they haven't achieved yet), in order to create an almost anti-revolutionary product. It's basically like "what if we had wizard magic, and used it to recreate the life of a 13th century serf."

    Well, between Facebook/ Meta tanking, Twitter being bought by Elon Musk, and now Kanye buying Parler, maybe all social media will implode.

    The idea to be like that shitty Bruce Willis (IIRC) movie where everyone lives in their shitty apartment and wears googles to have a life in some fake world?

    You know who perfected that con? Berry and apple-picking farms. A place where, literally, you pay a farm for permission to be their migrant workers for a couple of hours. And by you I mean your wife/girlfriend, because they are the one who forced you to bring them there.

    Why have it easy when you can go out of your way to make things harder and less fun?

    Given that games like Truck Simulator are insanely popular, it doesn’t sound that far off from reality, relatively speaking.
