  • the technology has improved tenfold, the game looks and runs so different now that its virtually unrecognizable, but the communities are shit, the user count is at best half as many as it was in the late 00s to early 10s. and most of the people online are either just parked in a shitty club, usually AFK, hiding in their private land, innnocuously buying stuff for their house or character, lagging the place up with scripted farms and such... a very small number of worthwhile game / activity and roleplay communities (RP is still basically a game...) .. and most everyone else is probably e-banging..

  • when you say server, I think you're talking about regions (colloquially called "sims or simulators" in game) while its true they do run on servers, usually 4-16 regions packed onto a single server... its easier to think of them as islands of virtual real estate, some are separate individual tiny islands of 256x256 meters, whereas others are joined to others of the same size. all of course, seperate from the continents which are owned by the company but land can be rented and such

    privately owned land people can do whatever they want on it provided it isnt breaking law or TOS, and theres some weird shit that falls through the cracks.

    the concept of SL is fascisnating, how it all works in the concept of a digital world, its been doing the metaverse 20 years before Mark Zuckerberg got the idea. the problem is, people are fucking freaks. and the metaverse is as freaky as they are.

  • the militarized police thing isnt news to anyone who hasnt been living under a rock.

    whats new though is the rolling out of those microwave / sonic weapons, In the event of mass protests, I would expect at the very least, US Police forces / military uses those against protestors and rioters. (thats assuming they aren't just shooting to kill)

  • Second Life. If you could call it a game.

    I started "playing" it in 2006. Went through long periods of not playing it.. but I always come back.. and it's always worse

  • Corpos own the regulatory bodies.Russian Mafia owns the white house.

    Regulatory Captured States of America

  • The public is mostly powerless as long as the regime is willing to point and use firearms. thats their go-to card.

    you can bet that the regime is also planning on giving out military equipment for fighting against crowds too, tear gas, firehoses, and microwave / sonic weapons like what was seen in Serbia recentley.

  • No, we'd be "GAmBlIng wItH wOrLd waR THree!"

  • Its not just China and Russia doing it anymore. Russia has the considerable might of the legitimate assets of the USA. Not to mention its unofficial ones, firehose of falsehood from the Russian internet troll farms, American troll farms, and every Bubba, Jed, and White nationalist WASP with affluent sounding names with access to wi-fi

  • Europe is Russia's domain, The Americas is Trump's, Southeast Asia is Xi.

    if you aren't at the table , you're on the menu

    Europe is going to be a nuclear wasteland, unlike the other two, Russia doesnt have the numbers or equipment for any more war, and they're also facing against the nuclear armed NATO forces.

    North America will be a wasteland of warlord states as America dissolves into civil war, and odds are, China will sit back, do nothing, and win everything by being the only seat left at the table.

  • aukshully, you cant just throw the name Nazi around because Nazism is a very specific form of german national socialism. and this is not germany.

    Russian and American Fascists : Rolling on the floor laughing

  • im going to be sick

  • Status quo is subjective.

    My idea of conservative status quo goes back to the 2000s and early 2010s. What's been happening since 2014 or so, is a clear slide away from that and it's something else.

  • Even if they're nondestructive, they are very effective in a conflict that Russia is already deadly at. Information war.

  • Russia is the reigning champion of false flags.

    Their war against Finland, was premeditated on a false flag. They shelled their own town and claimed the finns did it Same against Poland. Although in that case I believe it was more of an opportunity to take advantage of the Nazis false flag in the Radio Tower incident that they used for their own casus belli

    Putins rise to power revolved around a false flag, he had the FSB bomb an apartment complex and kill a score of people, only to blame Chechens after the first Chechen war, to use as a rally round the flag power grab and justify the second Chechen war. The Russians LOVED him for murdering the fuck out of Chechens.

    And it was all a distant memory now, but the Ukraine invasion was started by a series of pathetic false flags. including but not limited to

    • an "assassination attempt" on a Separatist leader in Donetsk by blowing up a 40 year old low end "limousine'. (it was a regular car)
    • taking captured or knockoff ukrainian uniforms, and hastily spraypainting ukrainian camo patterns on their own vehicles since both sides used the same equipment back then, and making a fake go-pro video of Ukrainians invading Russia in early 2022.
    • blowing up their own military vehicles to lend credibility to the second point.

    *to be clear Im talking about the incidents that occured in late January and early Feb 2022, while the Russians were building up military forces and when they "recognized" the separatist states and formally moved their military into Ukraine, about a week before the shooting started, all of this was going on

    Russia has always been a gong-show of shitty and pathetic theatre and drama for the cameras/newspapers*

  • these people aren't right wingers anymore. they arent conservative.

    its fascists, collaborators, and traitors, who've convinced people they are conservatives.

  • they'll get it.

    Unlike the Republicans, the democrats have double digit numbers of people who will flip flop and cross the isle, even in a time like this.

  • it did in the movies, in here lies the problem.

  • first you gotta find a country that will let you in and stay in.

    and then, you gotta pay the US government to rescind your citizenship.

  • you forget that people like that have literal legions that their sole job is to protect a persons life. not just bodyguards, but intelligence agents who's sole job it is , is to prepare for any kind of credible threat.

    and remember russia is a country that has an entire militarized police force that its only real job, is to keep the boot on the neck of not the people, but the russian military, so that they dont get any funny ideas about revolting.
