I also always do that, buy companies all over again when I forget I’ve done it already

Oh that explains why occulus is now the worst choice you could have for a vr headset

This happens to me (on a much smaller scale..) when buying games on both Xbox store and PS store

Zuck rewards what he likes. First time he bought it from its Alt-Right owner... maybe this time the guy's probably graduated into full nazi perhap? 😅

😂😂😂😂

jonjones Idiots, you can get one for $400

must've been a different day in 2014 if it didn't show up in the memories

sounds like the zucc needs a software update

Except this time, they remember to include “login with Facebook” as a requirement

They gotta make sure.
