Ceka Cianci Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 8 hours ago, Love Zhaoying said: To clarify the Peeve regarding "SecondLifetime Badges" - it's another "divider". I think it would be smarter if only the user could see their own "SecondLifetime" Badge. That badge would say to me: "I'm special, but don't necessarily have money, since I paid my forever fees." I still can't get passed the numbers of being like 7 1/2 years before it becomes a benefit.. hehehe I figure, let them have a tag, because they sure paid for it.. hehehe 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to denote such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was there another level of folks that got the 4096 sqm for life besides "charter" members? My friend has the 4096 for life, but his profile says nothing about charter. He's in a diff timezone and not logged on in a while, but I'll send him a message about it. Edited July 11, 2023 by LittleMe Jewell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LL may have changed it. I kind of have a vague memory of LL removing it but I can't be sure. I know it was there in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm - maybe only shown in the SL viewer? I'll have to log in with that one and check. And yeah, it is also totally possible that it used to be there and isn't any longer.

If LL had announced that before starting the promotional offering, they could have easily slammed 500 USD on the prices of the lifetime offerings and still would have sold them with ease.

Didn't you get the memo? 😁 If nobody worked in SL your inventory would be pretty much empty and SL as well. People make things: Scripts, buildings, clothing, furniture, animations. And yes, a lot is made partly on third party programs these days, but testing, boxing, shipping, make it event ready, maintain the inworld presence,and, and, and ........ it all happens in world. And there is nothing wrong with calling that working. I work in SL too, even if it is only a hobby. Edited July 12, 2023 by Sid Nagy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peeve: Reminds me of when I recently "implied a friend was a Racist" on Facebook for something they posted. To them, by "implying", it was "the same thing as calling them Racist". They called me out on it and I was unable to articulate "exactly why" their post made them look racist. But, they did not want to know.. So in my case, the "real Peeve" is when 1) you cannot take words back, and 2) the other person does not really want to discuss what you meant. I basically lost a friend - a coworker of 25 years. "Thank goodness" that job is ending soon. Awkward.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how you literally read between the lines!! Here's the details of my story for context. I was posting on FB about how some US state lawmakers were literally kicked out / removed from their positions because they protested over being denied a voice. My friend posted in response, "they protested with bullhorns, interrupting..". (As if that made it OK.) Peeve: Protesting does not justify being ostracized. This also applies to Second Life and the Forums! * pats self on the back * 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know the news story. There is a somewhat similar case of a trans woman state representative being, first, "not recognized" by the speaker of the house, and then actually refused entry -- because she had opposed an anti-trans bill. We need discussion. People should be able to articulate their views -- even offensive ones. And they should be compelled to defend those views if challenged. That's how change occurs: through engagement and interaction and discussion. Not silencing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote "On the other hand, I have no intention of letting outright sexism go unchallenged. And I don't care if it is from Sid: my objections are not to him, but to the content of his posts". And all because I pointed out that there is a difference in approach to compliments between females and males, which is learned behavior during childhood. Sigh.
