While gif's can annoy me by constantly taking my eyes away from any text, I couldn't care less if every post has a Taylor Swift one or not.

As foul as these forums have been lately, and yes, I'm aware that I've contributed to it as well, I cannot stay away no matter how badly I want to. The forums have become such an intrinsic part of my day that actually logging into Second Life has become something I don't want to do. The forums have overtaken the actual platform the forums are here to support for me. I'm peeved at myself for being here right now instead of inworld enjoying Second Life. I've considered asking the mods to perma-ban me, but I also know I'd end up just logging in on an alt like everyone else does. I wish I'd never made my very first post here and never become a part of this side of SL, but I've also made some incredible friends because of it as well, and I wouldn't trade that for anything. I'm peeved at myself for how weak I am when it comes to these forums. It's especially hard to break the habit now when I'm forced to be at home so much of the time. I'm not me when I'm on these forums. Yes, this is a slice of me, but I'm a pie with a million slices and this is just one of them. Forums, I wish I could quit you. So here's my peeve of the day: People who flounce out of the Forums but don't. And yes...that means I am peeved at myself, too. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, for some, the "flouncing" was rather, um... out of their control, shall we say? Edited May 23, 2020 by Gatogateau 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't think of nihilism as the all-encompassing philosophy by which to live my life, it's rather a flavour that's often applicable to various things in life. Political nihilism, social nihilism, and such - but I don't like the sad and depressing kind of nihilists who thinks that self-destruction would be the best course of action; I intend on using what little time I have to enjoy myself as much as I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairreLilette Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Well, let's see...people complaining about the OP even when the OP's intention was okay (one thread going right now - not this one). It's like getting worked up over nothing really because this current thread going (not this one) does seem harmless although maybe a bit too domineering of women. It just makes me wonder why somebody doesn't just start a topic themselves they would like to talk about? Topics. I had a good one but forgot now and it was about SL. We got to know each a little bit talking about our shared passion of SL wherein each of us made something uniquely ours. But, my pet peeve is some of the complaining about thread topics when the OP seemed to have okay and harmless intentions but their head could just be in a different place and it seeming "macho" is upsetting some people maybe really over nothing when we don't have to be involved in any thread. So are we upsetting ourselves needlessly since we don't have to be involved in a thread? I'm not "peeved" about it...I'm more like upset because perhaps the upset that some are experiencing at times does not need to happen.

I think that’s the creepy part. But I also think the alt hunting is creepy unless someone is using an alt to bug, harass or otherwise get around your ‘nope the first time’ limit. I’ve seen that actually work a grand total of once only and the alt was made because the person really did learn a hard life lesson and made a big (and lasting) change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fauve Aeon Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 But if people don’t flounce and then lurk (which is what actually happens), we can’t laugh at them for it, chide endlessly them when they inevitably return (which they often do) and that just rains on my parade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatogateau Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Jeebus, Beth, that was the quickest flounce/unflounce in flouncing history (in the last day). Thirty seconds ago your status was "flounced" now ... Purty flower. Bet it smells sweet and innocent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
