If someone graduates from Columbia without knowing how to block a door then I feel the money has been wasted on them.

Yeah I play fighting games on both an 8bitdo fight stick and a PS4 d-pad. I'm still not sure which I prefer. Fight stick feels more accurate but I can react much faster with a d-pad.

I'm still not very good at these games though, so I can't speak for people at a high level!

I think the difference here from GTA is that this is a shared virtual world where the actions of players shape the society inside the game. If they're creating a society where stimulated child abuse is shrugged off as just someone's private life (even though it's essentially public to everyone on second life) then I wouldn't want to participate in that society, and if I worked for the company making second life I wouldn't want any part of it.

Aren't these mostly things he said he'd do in his first term?

You lose friends when you refuse to communicate with them because of the app they're using.

Please don't do this. One of the best experiences about university is meeting new people. Don't cut people out of your life because they use the wrong chat app.
