    Metaverse weirdness

    So I posted a photo of some .41 Magnum rounds loaded with powder-coated bullets on my FB page. When a friend commented, I replied that I had gotten my powder from Smokes in the vendor section at castboolits.com. You'd think I had put a hit out on the Zuck. The reply was immediately surrounded in red with a big red exclamation point and warnings of some sort of grave violation of something. I am surprised sirens did not sound.
    I tried to edit the reply and could not. I ended up deleting it and rewording it to say I had gotten my powders from Paintball Kingdom. That reply went through.
    Bizarre.

    Facebook and Twitter are like real-time experiments about The Allegory of the Cave.
    Oh great, another thread that makes me spend money.

    Censorberg is a DNC lapdog. It doesn't get much more blatant than this:

    I am on Facebook for one reason only, Marketplace. I have bought and sold a fair amount of stuff. My profile is private, there are no photos and I have no friends. It's a decent tool but, I certainly don't consider it a social place. I limit that to here.

    I dont have a facebook. It is ok when people use it as it supposed to be. Sadly a lot of people put stuff on there that shouldn't be pertaining to themselves and others including their private lives that shouldn't be aired.

    just exactly what is a meta verse anyway? never did really understand much of that stuff or maybe its just something I have no interest in. way too many people living in some fake or fantasy world with their lives and world consumed with being online in games and alternate reality of some sort. id much rather be outside in the real world that is right out the door in the sun or rain and dirt, rocks, trees , plants and animals, you know the stuff that god put there and we are just temporarily visiting in.

    People spend way too much time on social media. Sheeple. Don’t do Facebook. I just do gun forums and the tractor forum and spend hours s day on them. Better than staring at the junk on the boob tube. Just started a part time job to get moving around more. Sitting still will kill you.

    As mentioned selling on the free marketplace is incredible......stuff gone as soon as someone can drive over ............anything left for 10 minutes is never going to sell.......not trinkets either ,20 ton excavators sold in an hour .

    Hmm. I keep an FB page for family and friends, am a moderator on a page dedicated to the history of Chavez, Lincoln, Eddy and Otero counties in SE New Mexico, and administrator of a page I created -- Friends of Dog Canyon -- to support Oliver Lee State Park near the White Sands. All pretty innocent stuff, and I haven't used marketplace and probably should. I'm on a bunch of firearms-related forums like this one as well. That said, these kinds of forums as well as Facebook are considered by the younger generations to be for old fuds, of which I am one.
    You won't catch me on Tiktok or Twitter though.

    I've used marketplace quite a bit. I kinda weed out under 40 tire kickers, as the young ones tend to be no-shows. Things do sell fast though, and I have got more than asking price several times. I sold my old camper, and some guys got in a bidding war. I ended up with $500 more than I was asking!
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Used to experiment to see what it would take to get banned
    Got my 1,2, 3 ,5, 7, 14 day ban badges; worked up to a month ban hammer
    Kind of fun ( I can be easily entertained)

    I can't do that, it's my wife's account. I don't have one, just use her's to see what's for sale.

    Does sound like fun though.
