That could be a humiliating experience for some people. I tried to sell my soul for a new 16" MacBook Pro Max, loaded, and Satan laughed. Apparently I haven't lead enough of a life, like I though I had been. *sigh* They said I could get a iPhone 13 Mini, but it would still require a copay. Carpe diem?
Judgement free AND emotion free (if you are welcomed by as cheery looking pile of rocks, as Zuck himself)
He looks like a cardboard cut out with a fake smile photoshoped to it.
Does anyone taking him seriously?
Hopefully not, but do you really think he cares?
"What shall we call our Facebook store?"
"How about 'Facebook Store'?"
"Brilliant! How ever did you come up with it, it's so clever!"
Honestly, is there *anybody* in the whole zucking enterprise who has the slightest bit of creativity?
i hate this guy so much, he has single handily destroyed peoples lives with his garbage platform
You need to go back … way way way back … before Ready Player One. Lots of people have prophesied the rise of “cyberspace” in both fiction and non-fiction.
I’ve been waiting for the always imminent arrival of immersive VR since the 80s. I’m sure I’ll be waiting long after I’m dead.
Facebook thinks they are being original. Cyber Town, Second Life and all that crap has been around for many years.

The VR version is unaffordable for most people on the planet and no matter how light you make VR headsets they will always be too uncomfortable to use for very brief time.
And nobody trusts Facebook. If Zuckerberg walked freely down a busy street he'd be a knocked out fool in 5 minutes.

You'd be surprised.
A lot of unsavvy people are naively optimistic about things like this while simultaneously not understanding the value of their own data.
Some of them know, but just flat out don't care. The old "I don't have anything to hide" argument.
Soooooo ‘Facebook’ is deleting facial biometric records but technically isn’t becasue they’re rebranded to ‘Meta’ and Meta is going to build upon it? Right. Just further confirming it was a publicity stunt then. 🤨
I am so excited about this Facebook store.
J/K 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Clone doesn't seem to improve much over the years... unconvincing! Looks, feels, acts like a clone or android. Personal pet theory is that Zuck said no to them and they took him and replaced him with a clone.
