I'm just cackling that Second Life outlived the Metaverse on both ends.
The Metaverse was in a horrible state they were too embarrassed at the Wii no legs graphics in an age of VRChat. So they cgi Zuck in an imagined metaverse.
They 
$88 Billion with shit all to show for their work to investors.
He really thought if he did a pivot to try to be like Joe Rogan people would like him, but for sure they'd like him EVEN MORE because instead of saying 'wow that's crazy' to a "world changing" concept like going to office meetings in VR he got to say: 'do it.' Got an MMA trainer, says a few sexist and racist things, tells everyone the metaverse is coming whether they like it or not, and thinks he can be a revered household name
Has nothing to do with zuck. Sorry not sorry.
Nobody wants a heavy device on their head while looking like the biggest nerd on the planet.
Oh yeah, it was always going to fail, but making Zuck the face of it feels like what they'd do if they were scared it had the slightest chance of succeeding and wanted to be absolutely sure it didn't.
Zuck was the only person who believed in the product. Literally everybody else was just cashing a paycheck, that's the only explanation for how low quality everything was and the fact that even meta staff didn't end up using the platform at all.
least charismatic man alive
This is 
erasure
Perhaps it was intended in terms of absolute value. Musk has greater negative charisma than zuck
is at least kinda fun to laugh at.
Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day.

One day after much saving i'll be able to afford a herman miller
A friend of mine got a $700 Herman Miller office chair in perfect shape that was in a university's dumpster, the rich fuckers throw so much away if you know where to look.

- If I were to somehow become a billionaire and I for one reason or another couldn't use it to improve people's lives, I'd just pay a bunch of indie game studios to make all the dumb game ideas I don't have the time or energy to create myself. Oh, and get myself a hot tub.
That was Notch's plan, but he ended up becoming a Nazi so good luck
imagine having a billion dollars and you choose to spend your life in board rooms and meetings instead of, like, starting a hippie commune on a tropical island
Honestly it's a communist power move asking people what they would do with a billion dollars and then telling them how much they would have left after they list changing their lives, the lives of everyone they know, their entire community
Just don't do a High-Rez / Prophesy Games. And 
No ESpurtz.
RIP Tribes. You were done dirty.
think bigger. 2 hot tubs
Oh, and get myself a hot tub.
Fancy Pants.
He’s a part of their brand they should have probably gotten rid of years ago but they can’t now
It was all a dastardly scheme by Sweet Baby's Ray's
Probably one guy in marketing was about to get canned and went for sycophancy to take the heat off, and then no one was willing to be the guy asking hey are we sure about this
Ego is a hell of a thing
