Amina Sopwith Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 1 hour ago, Sid Nagy said: I'm totally anti monarchies, they really have outlived their usefulness, but for the Queen I always made an exception. An IMHO really extraordinary woman has passed away yesterday, a human institution, a landmark in history. It's surprising how many people feel that way. My feed is full of republican, anti-royalists saying, "I hate the institution but I'm surprised at how sad I feel about her." Personally I don't have strong feelings about the institution one way or another but I don't think it's the biggest issue in our country by any means. As a means of national identity and uniqueness, I'm not sure what we'd replace it with. I do agree with King Charles that it needs to be slimmed down. And it may not be the most intelligent thing to say, but something in me does like all the pomp and ceremony. I know it's silly but no other country does it like that and there is something fun and enjoyable about it. My peeve is that Camilla is going by Queen Consort. I'd have preferred Princess Consort. I don't know why. I'm also peeved (as well as very saddened) that this work of absolute genius is now out of date. I'd almost finished learning it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you perhaps using the Front View camera preset and just didn't realize it? Go to Preferences - Camera, scroll down and select the Rear View (or Group View by default) preset, selecting them will automatically switch to them. You can also switch between them via the old Camera controls window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just came here because it's a second home, and I wanted to open a little space for my second family to share. My peeve is that people feel it necessary to show how little they care about the topic or indeed other people. With that, I'm taking a break. I need to get used to the fact that my country is going to go downhill even more, and I need to focus on things that matter in the real world, and not on the ills of human nature. Farewell for a while, and thank you all who have made my forum time worthwhile. Think I am with you on this as I see nothing but an increasing corporate narcissism being exemplified in the new policies being put in the forums and which will likely have an inworld spillover effect. S/L is not the only grid out there so no reason to subject myself to it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Legion Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Yes, lets get angry at the Lindens/Moderators for policies that only exist because some people could not help but drag politics (among other things) onto a Message Board wherein they had no place to begin with. And yep, that's my Peeve for this post. A post I have typed, deleted and retyped several ties now over the last day. Y'all were warned. It happened. Deal with the consequences. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - a problem, as I noted in my above post. People. Just .... People. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing about ideas, if they involve change, or restrictions, or "payment", people hate them even if they are well-intended at heart. It is ironic.

Marigold Devin Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Just for information, I have the Queen as my profile photo in memoriam currently because it seemed more appropriate than my previous profile photo, which was not of my avatar. The photograph I have chosen, however, just to be absolutely clear, is the same colour as some types of marigold flowers that you find in my garden in real life, and gardens I have previously had in Second Life. Staying on topic while respecting Her Majesty. _____ Peeve: when people who I have blocked are visible when others quote them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could leave out the vowels, similar to Hebrew. Or use pictographs only - such as Kanji - but then they could charge by the "stroke count".

Sid Nagy Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Maybe allow each only 5 post per thread and the possibility of starting 1 thread a month... Or simply throw the towel in and lock the place up? Possibilities, lots of possibilities. Edited September 9, 2022 by Sid Nagy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
