I still don't really understand what second life is beyond
what I've read in The Metro about people spending fortunes of real money on fake money, which just confuses me.

And I think that Snow Patrol did a gig on it that they charged people to see, which is enough to make me hate it anyway even without quite understanding how that works.

You do have to pay for stuff in there.
It's just like normal life. But you invent a whole new person because, basically, you're a fat shutin who hates your real personality.

It confuses me because I understand computer games in which you can do things that reality prevents you from doing. I see the point of that. There's nothing you can do in Second Life that you couldn't just grow up and do in reality. And then you'd actually be doing it, as an added bonus.

But, meh, each to their own.

i think it's a bit more dangerous than that for some people
like those horrendously lardy yanks who met on there, then he had an affair (but only online) and his missus came in and saw the second life characters having an affair onscreen... unbelievable.

and the losers who let their daughter starve to death whilst playing it.

I'm fairly sure these are people the gene pool can afford to lose.

Pretty certain you can't get assfucked by a unicorn in real life.
Pretty certain you can in Second Life.

Well, no, you can be virtually assfucked by a unicorn in Second Life
in reality, you can be assfucked by a man dressed as a unicorn. Which is a infinite amount closer to actually being assfucked by a unicorn, surely?
