goddd im thinking about it and second life is so bad… there is NO excuse for the way it runs on older/less capable computers and there is NO excuse for the AWFUL learning curve… i literally bought a subscription to second life onlive so i could stream the game from “the cloud” but then onlive shut down. and its just SO unfriendly to newbies, which i think is really, really bad for such a valuable thing as second life!
imagine a virtual reality where people could easily make and upload their own content! imagine a virtual reality where you didn’t have to pay for in-game credits! imagine a virtual reality where you could run the client from older computers! the sex inherent in second life is never going to go away (many trans/posthumanist writers have talked about it, with new realities will come new ways to have sex) but… more areas focused on things that aren’t sex would be wonderful
my dream second life is a world where i can create an avatar that’s absolutely anything – a breakfast plate, a swarm of gnats – and talk to other likeminded folk about things like politics and day-to-day life. i don’t WANT a shoddily coded choppy ram-hogging user-unfriendly monstrosity of a program obsessed with sex, but it’s what we got
2015 is the first year that the Millennial generation makes up more of the voting age population than any other generation. That is why the older generation is trying to suppress your vote. They know that you can change the world they destroyed. The first step we should take is getting Bernie Sanders elected President of the United States. We should show the world that we refuse to stand aside while an older and smaller generation insists on the destruction of our Democracy.
This is just the beginning, This is the first year we have as the largest voting generation in US History. Let’s make the most of it.
