    Maybe I’m just too old for this but if I cannot take those virtual clothes into the games I play (Fortnite, Battlefield, Skrim ..) they have 0 value for me.

    Ah yes, a new way to scam people out of their money by creating unnecessary false scarcity.

    Wooow. 120$ for a virtual piece of clothing. This is rediculous. thi makes no sense. And its not 0 wast. somewhere it has to be tored and all the bytes and bits have to be send omewhere. Im sure you also cannot resell it like proper clothing and it doesnt get you war. This is a commercial video in reality. Go home.

    To be completely honest, this terrifies me. I think we’re more or less from the same generation but I don’t get it 🙁 what i love about clothes is the way the fabric feels on my skin, the layers, the way the air moves around/through it. I mean, I do get her point that this is in it’s own way the next logical step etc. . And yet… Think of the things we’d lose….

    • Daṇḍin -Meta MBTI-

      March 9, 2022 at 5:04 am

      I think you’re right. This is not very popular, and for a reason.

    • blaster915

      March 9, 2022 at 9:27 am

      I don’t think we’d lose these things, but most youth hang out online. How many have you seen sit around a table all on their phones and then weirdly laugh at the same time. Communication has gone online. So now has the place to show off

    • Lautje Clause

      March 9, 2022 at 11:47 am

      I mean this with no disrespect to this artist btw…

    • Lautje Clause

      March 9, 2022 at 11:49 am

      @blaster915 yeah, that’s exactly the thing that terrifies me. But you’re probably right that we wouldn’t lose the “tactile dimension”, or at least, I really hope so.

    Fashion? How superficial considering. Is it time to “switch off” from reality. Most have yet to “switch on”

    Wars was started intentionally! These deaths were caused intentionally! This was no accident!

    These are the right questions to ask? This is free information.

    Russian people are shown photos of the invasion of Ukraine by a reporter.

    One Russian woman responded to paraphrase “No! No!” as she quickly turned her face away from the photos.

    Why did she find it distressing to see the photos and say “No! No!”? This is a sign of denial. This is probably because she has been told about western “propaganda” from the Russian government. Or it could be due to fear because the Russian woman was being recorded on camera, therefore, did not want to express how she really felt.

    Another response from a different Russian woman was “what are we meant to do? Wait until they attack us?”

    The “attack them before they use weapons of mass destruction” narrative was the narrative used by the western governments to invade Iraq. However, Ukraine is where our focus must be right now.

    The proof of the general motivated reasoning. The information that means this post may be deleted on some crony social media channels.

    The question that will lead to the truth (there is a truth because it was decision-makers [people] that put into action the War. It was planned (obviously, with 200,000 +- armed soldiers). Who is responsible for the deaths? Someone that is hiding in plain sight?

    If the Russian Government has told the Russian people that the “tactical operations” in Ukraine are to destroy “weapons that are threatening Russia”. Then Putin should either provide some evidence that his intelligence agency has such information or Putin, etc, had intentionally constructed a lie as a reason to invade Ukraine.

    Or maybe the Russian Government will also say exactly what the west did “it was incorrect intelligence”

    There was no evidence found of the “weapons of mass destruction” used as the motivated reasoning to invade Iraq. The people will also told that they were freeing the Iraqi people from an “evil” dictator.

    The Russian government also uses the rhetoric that it is “freeing Ukraine from Nazis” which they evidentially were not. E.g., Ukraine was a democracy where people were just getting on with their daily lives. Now it’s a war zone!

    I’m an empiricist (science psychologist) using a laptop and watching social media to gather probable facts. e.g., mainly “on the ground” video footage and listening to the rhetoric from the politicians, political pundits & egotistical billionaire businessmen. so I don’t have access to the evidence to answer all the questions in this report.

    However, I will say one alarming evidentiary idea. There is now a power vacuum accumulating in Ukraine where lots of differing sides and differing ideologies are looking for a fight. That’s where they don’t differ. Their motivator is “looking for a fight”.

    Cannon fodder! for a rich man[s] war games!
    Who is speaking of “peace”? For it is they that are the peace & truth seekers.
