        I think humanity has been here a couple of times and been whiped out.

        The Hindu says we are on our 7th iteration, the Greek says we are on our 5th, Aztec says 5th, and Christianity says 2 (Noah saving animals).

        Earth will be fine. :) It can heal from our damage but will take time. The again, time doesn’t matter. If next generation is in 10000 years from now, they will start their count from their birth, like we did.

    Wouldn’t a better idea be to write an extension that just pretends a bogus card number was accepted for multiple sites?

    This is really sad, but one has to wonder if it’s actually prevalent enough to warrant news or the typical “everyone panic the youth are doing blank” when someone just said something on the internet once.

    Another site allows users to pretend they are taking a smoke break with other people without actually smoking or physically being around anyone. The site displays an image of a cigarette, a “start” button, and messages from other logged-in users, creating the feeling of an online break room.

    That’s kind of neat actually, but nothing that didn’t already exist on AOL in the 90s

    Why do you think a popular genre of games these days are life Sim stuff that gets weirdly mundane.

    People want to be able to build computers or drive a truck or a train or clean a pool but dont want to not be paid a livable wage to do so. So nw we all make believe.

    Just can’t seem to get the real world in line so now its just all pretend. Thats the part that sucks.

      Side note: you can acquire as much shop-amine and buy as much random crap as you want if you buy everything used!

    If it ever progresses beyond the concept stage, justbuynothing.com might include a clearance section, rewards, and games for earning fake money. Users can try it now by activating developer mode in Chrome.

    That’s not suspicious at all. Am I missing something?
