LittleMe Jewell Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I've seen people have short gifs of their avatar winking or moving their tongue along their lips. Those never really bothered me much. It is the ones that are quickly animating, especially the flashy things, that irritate me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that happens to me (quite a bit some days), I do a quicker-than-usual skim of my Notifications and carefully pick which threads I'm actually going to look at and which I'm going to just ignore for a while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've limited the number of threads that I follow so I don't get dragged down by most of the drama. There are many topics that I just know are going to be more trouble than their worth. My first clue that there is some drama going on these days is when it spills over into the peeves thread. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalates Urriah Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 On 3/4/2022 at 6:37 PM, Scylla Rhiadra said: This is where I was about 2 years ago with Slink Physique. It's all but impossible to find outfits for it now. It's a sort of unplanned but very convenient and lucrative system of obsolescence built into SL's economic system. I don't have a problem finding clothes for Slink. It annoys me when people say they can't find clothes made for Slink. But, I understand they probably can't. There are some designers I would like to buy from that don't make stuff for Slink. But I find similar clothes by others. The planned or unplanned obsolescence is there. But it isn't just the designers creating the problem. People like new and difference which encourages designers to come up with new and different.

I suspect people still wonder. I consider Maitreya inferior at several levels. Slink bodies are compatible from the first to the current. Essentially one body. The Applier and BOM changes happened for Maitreya and Slink. So, its not sticking to one body that is contributing to Maitreya' popularity. That Slink has updated all buyers for free with each update adds to my conviction Maitreya's popularity isn't from sticking to a single body.

Economic sanctions are intended to push the population to that tipping point. That is the idea. A totalitarian dictator that controls information and understands psychological warfare simply redirects the fear and anger. If that can't happen, the simple solution is shoot the first people that stand up to rebel.

I tend to look at what I am getting in the fat pack and comparing that cost to how many of the singles I would be likely to wear. That gives me a cost comparison for whether or not to go with the fat pack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 When someone quotes me in a thread, but RL takes me away before I see it, and when I finally do and go to see what was said, the thread is totally gone -- not locked, but totally gone. 😒 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 It shouldn't have been allowed at all in my opinion.

Finite Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I still don’t understand why the threads get locked or deleted when it’s not the topic that turns toxic but the people posting in the thread. Generally the same ones. Seems history repeated. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missyrideout Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 My peeve of the night is Discord / broken group chat. With certain groups no longer active in world, I miss the buzz and the chatter around big events. I have Discord, I know it has its plusses but it still feels like something has been lost in-world. Super active groups used to be such a great place to socialize and share information. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken group chat has been super effective at migrating people to discord, who then realize they don't even need log in anymore for the same sense of community. I'm in a few family social ones and they have all scaled back participation in SL to the point that some group events now happen entirely on discord with streaming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discord also works from my phone, on the road. My imagination is more than capable of constructing worlds entirely in text. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moles Dyna Mole Posted March 12, 2022 Moles Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) It's not hard to find things that irritate us these days. The world is handing them to us by the bucketful. Let's please try to avoid letting this thread get too tangled up in global events, especially if the peeves get personal.

Marigold Devin Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 When I boot up my laptop and it refuses to for no good reason other than it had a Windows Update and something has gone a bit ... wrong?! Spend 3 hours on a system restore only for the message to come up on the screen telling me it couldn't. Some days I feel like Alice in Stupidland, having to run very very very fast, just to stay exactly where I was five hours ago. Modern technology; fantastic when it works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marigold Devin Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Double pet peeve: When I get a text message telling me I missed an appointment that I neither booked nor agreed to, and then get a snotty-toned lecture about why these appointments are so important to keep and how much money is wasted every year through missed appointments. I didn't book a bl**dy appointment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
