What a nutter.

This woman is really some kind of nutter. Thankfully she didn't find someone in real life to make (false) accusations against.

Now she is accusing someone in make believe cyberspace of inappropriately groping her. A nut case like this needs to be locked up before she causes some innocent person to be locked up

According to website The Verge the woman posted on the official Horizon group on Facebook earlier this month that she had been virtually groped by someone she didn't know.

that's weird. It's a shame that once you've been plugged into the matrix you can't just take off the VR glasses or unplug.

She'd probably be well advised to try a different mix with her recreational meds.

Cheers

The internet… it’s a weird place sometimes.

It’s kinda like when old men act out of character and get all mad at each other on an internet car forum.

Sounds like they figured out how to make TOTAL RECALL work in real life.

Does this mean they'll have virtual cops and a legal system in the Meta?

... I hope they don't outlaw Tea Bagging. lol

lol...the irony.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/17/meta-says-50000-facebook-users-may-have-been-spied-on-.html
"Meta says 50,000 Facebook users may have been spied on by private surveillance firms"

It's another version of The Sims.
(Release date 2/4/2000)

But because FB put their name on it, and herd their customer base over to a new product, people are supposed live their awake hours in a virtual reality world?
How about doing virtual work instead?

They will probably need an Occulus Rift VR headset...also sold by FB.

LOL!

I suppose on-line characters interacting with each other in different ways than in real life (like killing each other with weapons ranging from axes and spears to directed energy pulse cannons, and of course by casting magic spells) is a new and unique concept, at least to some people.

And I thought Meta was just another form of MMORPG, or soon will devolve into one.
