But I can say for certain, that creators will make for what is big, especially if it means they use their profits, to provide for themselves and their families. That being said, I think the best thing to do now. Is to learn how to draw and make textures and maybe try your hand at creating content like that for SL.

It's wrong on so many levels, the fact that you are taking something like the Jonestown Massacre(in which 918 people died that day) to something so trivial and small as you not being able to use things. Is absolutely disgusting and is doing a great disservice to the victims of that day. Those two instances are not comparable whatsoever. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is that it takes nearly a full region to unpack it all 😅 Sometimes when I am bored I will go to an empty sandbox, and rezz it while 2000+ meters in the sky, to wander around in. It might be in there, it has been a while since I last spawned it though. In Opensim there are entire OARs you can download that have the city in them as well, and I think there is even a few regions owned by Arcardia, at leas that is the impression I had. Peeve: I was not here when Arcadia was still roaming SL, it appears that I missed out on a lot of cool stuff dating back from that time. I have a bunch of her stuff, can't remember where I picked it up or if it's there anymore. She meant for all her work to be free to anyone so she made everything with full perms but some bits became no mod somehow in the transfer/opening of boxes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Linnea is not being literal and instead is using a figure of speech. I doubt she thinks her situation or anything related to it is comparable to those who died at Jonestown. It would be like me saying, "man, I feel like I've been hit by a truck today". You wouldn't respond by saying "how dare you compare yourself to poor souls who have been hit by trucks and died or been damaged for life when you're likely having a bad hair day and didn't get enough sleep". You'd know it was just an expression, an exaggeration, a figure of speech, rhetorical, perhaps even a bit sardonic......not a literal statement. PET PEEVE: Hooman communication can sometimes be so difficult. Edited August 3, 2023 by Luna Bliss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I mean have you tried Nuve, for makeups. I know they make for catwa hd pro. Nuve has nice skins. They have some for Catwa HD pro, but most of their new head skins are for EvoX. It's the same with 7DS. They have plenty of Catwa skins, but most of the new skins are for EvoX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Drinking the Kool-aid" has become a standard expression in American English. People joke about the Donner Party, the Titantic, and the Hindenburg too. Enough time has passed that it's become socially acceptable. It's not necessary to reference Jonestown directly though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you around when someone referenced Anne Frank when describing how their freedom was limited (just being rhetorical, feeling oppressed in many ways)? I thought some on the forum were going to eat him alive. Too soon, I guess, to make light of it in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Bliss Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Personally I have found that people want everything to be free until they try to do it themselves and find out just how difficult it is! And that, is a definite PET PEEVE of mine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
