I can check the majority of these boxes, but should I consider the totality of my online experiences a metaverse?

Maybe. Most of these categories are satisfied by different businesses/apps/clients... and sometimes via different devices.. but they're all online.

If I'm being honesr, the amount of digital goods and services I consume has increased mightily in the last decade.

I'm still not feeling fully immersed though.

i.e, I still have in-person contact with my truest friends. My passions are mostly physical hobbies (though sometimes my hobbies, like art and music, produce digital products).

I don't actually purchase many digital goods. I guess I have a few NFTs from my shitcoin days. I watch Netflix shows, so there's that.

Oooo. Video games. My kid plays a lot of those. He has friends in discord that meet up virtually and fuck shit up.

I do buy physical things from online stores, though.

I once paid to 'attend' an online concert during Covid. It wasn't that bad. I'd probably do it again for a bargain, but I've never gone to a virtual museum. I could see it though.

I guess as an initial assessment of my own virtual existence I'd say thr metaverse has crept-up on me more than I ever would have imagined 5-10 years ago.

Still, I think I view my online exoeriences as more of an augmentation to my physical life.

I'm taking my ball and going home. GN fuckers.

If there is a secondary way out, the bird will find it if it is given time to calmly assess its surroundings. Probably wouldn't take more than a couple hours.

If it's possible, remove yourself from the room. The bird's fear will push it to act irrationally. The crutch was a good idea. Is there an alternative route to the outdoors, like a window or door that the bird could take?

Yes. It's an FM broadcast aaaaaaaand an internet stream. 🥴🤯😵‍💫

We all gotta eat.

Are you saying mangled phalanges run in the family. 🤷‍♂️

The single hand clutching a pitchfork is so 20th century I could puke!

🤷‍♂️ I suppose it could work both ways, but where I live, teachers have been notoriously hard to fire due to union protectionism.

My state (California) has seen its educational standards drastically reduced in the last few decades.

🤣 How many hands does it take to strangle an ostrich?

I appreciate you, but I'm not sure how my response could mean anything at all. I'm more than happy to write back.

Thanks for the post the brought this to my attention.

This is a great idea. How do we see the proposals submitted?

Looks like fun. I submitted a proposal... how do we see other proposals?

Haha. Yup. That was it.

Singer. Male I think. Blonde. Almost looked like M&M

Woohoo! Haha. Alright!

I think that's like, 2 unpopular opinions. 🤷‍♂️

Who's that?

How can such an amazing poet play harmonica so poorly?
