It also makes the person look like they are half invested in their avatar to put it nicely. As I said earlier if you don't want to go mesh, all system or all mesh look the best.. Let me put it this way.. would a 70 year olds body look wonderful with a 22 year old head? Ask the actors and actresses who are in their 70s and look like they might be in their 20s/30s. I'm in my 60s and most people think I'm in my 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kali Wylder Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I know some folks who have mesh bodies and kept their system heads who look quite nice that way. I also know people who switch to a mesh head and they don't look anything like their old selves and the new result is not as good as the old. I rather prefer the continuity of keeping the old head until you can create a reasonable facsimile with the mesh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't intentional. I'd post this in the thread that prompted it but I'd rather stay out of that thread. I'm not apportioning blame for what's been going on in this forum recently, because that's one thing that appears to start a thread on its downward spiral. Like many of us here - I am absolutely sick to the back teeth of seeing threads being dragged down the pan towards a Linden Lock at a rate of three or four pages of bickering and back-and-forth per hour. I was pretty damn restrained in my post on the now-closed thread, because behind the monitor I was seething and yelling profanities - to everyone involved in that bickering - about growing the f*** up, shutting the f*** up, and moving the f*** on. I've never seen anything like it, and I'm thisclose to being done with these forums because of it. I have enough stress going on in my life right now without coming here for a multi-page, multi-thread dose of it as well. Yes, many of us are going stir-crazy from being shut in our homes, but seeing all of this unending, childish, petty bickering is making me feel like s**t. I've not seen the likes of what's been going on in some threads since I was in middle school. I don't want apologies, whether they're merited or not. I just want people to STOP and remember that many of us are truly struggling, financially and emotionally. We've lost jobs. We've lost loved ones. We're all fighting our own battles.

Fauve Aeon Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 People price-gouging on safety equipment. I’ll pay it because I need replacement vapor mask filters for upcoming work to enter a competition that’s only held once every few years. I’m very grateful we can afford it, yes. but I resent it. A lot. I’ve been delaying doing any spray paint work because I was hoping supply would catch up and prices would settle back down but then the competition was announced suddenly and there’s no getting around it if I want to enter. Dammit, dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BE F***ING KIND, ALL OF YOU. I 100% agree. I understand people are bored and on edge, and for good reason, but SURELY people can think of something better to do then intentionally being obnoxious a**holes to get threads shut down is NOT a way to cure the boredom. Some of the threads I've seen being locked have been around for ages and I've seen the same activity happening here, I will admit if it happens to this thread I will be in the same boat you are and turn my back on the forums. Things here are out of control since Shutdown and I understand that the forum mods are doing everything they can, but something has gotta change. Maybe give the thread creators light moderation tools to help keep the peace in the threads, maybe take volunteer mods ( I understand this was done before but maybe put them through a vigorous test or something to make sure they don't abuse their power.

AyelaNewLife Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Pet peeve #1: When someone asks what you're up to as part of the "hi how r u" dance, and you answer... and then six minutes later they ask that same question once more. Pet peeve #2: When your brain skips a beat and you end up saying "I'm fine thanks, yourself?" even though you've already asked that question before. Pet peeve #3: When both of the above happen within the space of 3 minutes and you realise just how close to the inevitable mental breakdown you are. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrr. Are you talking about this? Quote But Google’s GIF counterarguments are strong. The Mountain View company also points out that apps like Snapchat, Spotify, and Dropbox have enjoyed hundreds of millions of downloads on Android, which runs counter to the notion that Google is suppressing competition. Google has its own messaging, music, and cloud storage services, and yet its mobile platform is open enough to sustain more popular alternatives without a problem. That's from a 2016 article. https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/10/13584480/google-android-monopoly-eu-iphone Quote What Google is saying, in a nutshell, is that Android is too flexible and manipulable by the user to ever really be locked down and anti-competitive. Okay, so Samsung, LG, HTC, Huawei, and anyone else wanting to sell an Android phone is practically forced to ship it with Google apps on board. Is that really such a big deal if people can get their favored apps for free anyway? And moreover, Google makes the economic argument that "distributing products like Google Search together with Google Play permits us to offer our entire suite for free," so if you really like Google’s mobile apps and don’t want to pay extra for them, you should be happy with the status quo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Huntsman Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 When someone creates an ad photo and they don't credit what is part of their outfit that they didn't design. Like I see those shoes, and I want them. Can you not put where you got them. Also bloggers who just credit their sponsors, I want to know where you got everything from. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
