The problem isn't being a child avatar. The problem is wanting to have sex as(or with) a child avatar. That's the thing that LL forbids. Most people just want to be sure that child avatar sexuality or even the slightest suggestion of the appearance of child avatar sexuality doesn't happen in their proximity. If they are landowners, they sure don't want to be accused of harboring such activity. If they are visitors they don't want to be accused of engaging in or condoning such activity. Then there are those who just like to push at boundaries. You tell them they can't do something and that makes them want to do it. And let's not forget there are those unfortunate individuals who get turned on by the idea of sex with children. I'm not sure what the draw is for them when we all know that wearing a child avatar does not make you a child and there are no actual children in SL.

I found a site called https://retrofloppy.com/ that will read my 3.5" diskette and convert the data for about the same price as buying the USB drive. I think I'll try going to the library first and see what they can do.

Makes sense to me. I created the file for my mother back in 1998 turning the raw data from old news clippings and yellowed handwritten sheets of paper (some typed) that she had inherited from an uncle. That's generally the way amateur genealogists passed information on to anyone in the family who had the slightest interest back then. Not sure who I'm going to give it to but I was thinking of uploading it to Geneanet.

Yeah, that's why I'm reluctant to buy the USB drive...

I may break down and buy one of those usb portable drives. I did some research and found a free software called rootsmagic essentials that might be able to read the file once I do get a hold of it. I'm now waiting to do that until I hear if anyone I know on FB has already bought one for any reason and will let me borrow it or read the file for me and copy it.

It was created in a program called family tree maker back in 1998. I have no idea what the file format is.

today's peeve: how to access a file from 1998 stored on a 3.5 inch floppy. I don't want to buy a usb 3.5 floppy drive to retrieve one file when it may or may not even be possible to read it on my win10 laptop.

Just in Case - Inventory Hoarding
kali Wylder replied to Persephone Emerald's topic in General Discussion Forum
yeah, I guess I'm a hoarder. I spend so little time in SL these days that I hardly ever bother with inventory maintenance. On the plus side, I'm not buying much anymore either so at least the problem isn't growing. -
I've got to start checking this board more often! I still have a twitter account, haven't posted anything in over a decade but I do glance at it about once in a blue moon, usually when someone talks about it here or somewhere else I go. Hairless dogs, really?

Good for you! Becoming a no longer fat guy is an accomplishment and I'm sure it wasn't easy for you. But I'm sure you remember how it felt to be made to feel shame because of your appearance. Did any of that constant shaming inspire or help you to change? As a formerly fat person myself, I know the answer to that.

why having or beeing an alt is consider bad?
kali Wylder replied to Gabriel Isodo's topic in General Discussion Forum
At the time, I was young(er) and impressionable and it hurt my feelings terribly. Later I thought of it as a badge of honor, but slightly tarnished. Finally, it's just a little footnote, seldom read and mostly forgotten until someone brings up alts again. I have better alt stories but I'm not dragging them out again. -
why having or beeing an alt is consider bad?
kali Wylder replied to Gabriel Isodo's topic in General Discussion Forum
I was my first av's first alt, born just one month after the original. I still keep a picture of her(my first av) in my profile's back page where originally you rl pic was supposed to go. Being accused of being an alt is a sure way to bring drama to a boring gathering. I remember the first time my first av posted in the forum she was immediately attacked for being someone's alt just because I had the temerity to agree with someone. It wasn't true but truth rarely matters when accusations are being flung about. I've created more alts than I can remember over the years. My peak alt creation years were the ones when I played Tiny Empires. I don't bother to create new ones anymore, I just recycle the old ones that I still remember the login info for. Except I did create a new one when the Senra body came out. Named it Pat so I could use the same name for both the male and female bods. Alas, another alt left on the shelf in perpetuity as interest in Senra faded rather quickly. -

Not me! I love being so old that I truly don't care what people think anymore.
