Answering questions.

Buying shit online is pretty interesting to me. I look, I like, I buy, it ships. Just like that.

I’m also fascinated that we’ve become reliant on our ability to get answers to questions, simple and complex, instantaneously.

@uberbatman you beat me to the exact same video that I was going to post.

Aside from that ((cough)) I do a lot of this Second Life thing.

@downtide Hey, I have heard about that before, but never succeeded in understanding what exactly it is. What is it exactly?

@Inspired_2write Please explain further.

@tups It’s basically a social and creative platform. Imagine an MMO (multiplayer online game) in which the world itself is completely empty; the players are told “You make what goes here”. Thats exactly what Second Life is; a blank canvas in which 100% of the content is created by users. It’s not a game in and of itself, but some people have created games within it. There is also a lot of music and entertainment. Some people use it because they like to make things, some use it for the social aspects, some for the sex.

@tups
There is one called:
www.penpalparty.com
I connected with two people from Brazil and Belgium.
I still write (email) to a a Pen Pal in France for over 30 years now. I obtained her address in the early 1960 when I was but a sixteen year old. we still correspond.
The one from Brazil I have been writing and emailing for about one year now.
The one from Belgium dropped off the planet a few months ago, so not everyone keeps it up.
On this site there are hundreds of people from all over the world who wish to corresond.
The site enables one to pick a country,gender,age,language etc
Something like this is what you could do, but cater it to your preferences.
