animats Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Checking out WelcomeHub this evening. 6 new users, none moving. One is a bot stuck in a fountain. One has no hair but two heads worn simultaneously. One is stuck in pink cloud state. One has the classic woman with floppy hat and small dog in large bag avatar, and is having clothing problems. One bought a box with some adult parts, but they're wearing the box, not the parts. One got on the Teegle demo horse but couldn't make it go. No mentors present. Onboarding still needs work. 5 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a ghost town half the time . The other 25% is bots and Spanish speaking noobs . Idk why . And the last 25% is 1-2 mentors standing around , having a conversation with a few oldies who also like to help while not a single noob even appears , just bot swarms . Maybe if they would stop redirecting traffic to the ai island full of bots , welcome hub might not be dead and mentors wouldn't be discouraged from standing around alone .lol Edited August 29 by Midnoot 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istelathis Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I was watching TV, then decided to take a ride so I looked for a GTFO hub to rez my vehicle, when I came across a bunch of Goombas. Out of curiosity I jumped on one and this happened. 🤣 They are at: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Granada/209/83/80 I'm going to run one over to see what happens. Lol, okay.. I kind of feel bad now. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelor Galanter Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) 1 hour ago, Midnoot said: Good sir , I must inquire about these fine steel equine. Where dat store in which they are sold ? Do they require 4.000 LOD to see ? And can they drive over a penny without being derailed ? There are many fine builders of motorcycles in SL. They only require a 2.0 LOD, and many ride like a dream. Most have a "sled" or "canoe" on the bottom to allow for smooth riding without sticking or sinking into the track. Fine builders include Moto by Mario Sangria, Turlaccor/Vix Motors, Deezul Motors, Badger Motors, Crossing Sands, JFC, ARTY Creations, and many more. If you would like LM's to these stores or want just two of my fav builders' LM's contact me inworld. I will send them to you. My suggestion for buying a bike you love is 1. Ride the demo first, 2. Make sure the bike is "modify" so you can add new sleds/canoes, and the blue menu on controls works properly, and 3. practice, practice, practice! There are nearly two hundred (200) amazing tracks to ride in sl, and some go up to 4,000 meters (or about 1 hour of ride time). All the tracks are different with different themes and decor. Also, many of Lindens' roads are driveable with rez zones clearly marked. That's a fun choice, as well.

The idea of a semi-sentient, angry-looking Roomba is a little terrifying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concept of it disgusts me to the core. I agree, I mean look at the flames, that kid is going to be chargrilled on the outside and raw on the inside. If you're going to do it, do it right - wait for the coals to die down before slapping it on the BBQ. Or is it that this image degrades and objectifies an inanimate digital artifact rather than a real person that upsets you? It's difficult to judge where the line for morally outraged virtue signalling is drawn these days Edited August 30 by JacksonBollock 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Psaltery Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Those who find the representation of a burning baby funny, can't you just accept that some find it sickening without deriding them? I wouldn't like it in any case but I also have in mind the reality of not so long ago (and you're going to have to ask privately about that if you can't guess it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I find lots of things sickening - blatant hypocrisy being one - along with images posted in general forums of sticky stuff sprayed in unrealistic volumes across latex, but you don't hear me complaining.

I don't think any of us has, or have the intention to do so. Obviously it bothers you and some others, so I and the others who had left a laugh emoji (so far) have let it be. We just have interpreted the picture differently, that is all. Edited August 30 by Istelathis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak for yourself I might (and am perfectly within my rights) to find a very bad "representation" of a baby on a BBQ amusing. I might also be amused at people who cling to the old adage "no one has the right not to be offended" but only up to the point that they themselves feel offended. I might also find amusing that in 2024 the epithet of "b*stard" may be applied to an infant, along with everything it societally implies, and goes unmentioned and without offence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orwar Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Oh, didn't know the story of Demophon would be on today. We have multiple Metinaras? How dramatic! Will Ingrid turn out to be Demeter or the Wicket Witch of the Gingerbread House?! I'm going to need popcorn. Or maybe smoars. Is the grill free yet? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I was thinking more a Procne and Tereus type thing. Does Ingrid have a sister? If she does, maybe she'd be better with the BBQ. Don't tell me, we can't find Greek Mythology funny either?? Spoil sports. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to a particular dismissal but attempting not to be too particular. I haven't said that no-one can find something funny, I just didn't think it called-for to dismiss someone else for not doing so. And now we're getting rather wordy and departing from the topic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
