There is absolutely no reason for anything you wear to have that high of an ARC. We're not living in tortured prims and sculpty days anymore. Neveeeeeeeeer! They're fully animated cyberpunk glasses that have neon lights (changeable via HUD) that travel along thin wires. Wouldn't give them up for anyyyything. They might become a "photos only" accessory, but I'm definitely not trashing something that looks so awesome. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are some lower ARC ones out there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, the jumpsuit isn't innocent in all this, either. 68,928 on its own. Peeeeeveeee (but too cute to caaaaare)! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook and eye latch did the trick. At our current house with our current cat, we put on of those pet doors on our bedroom door so she can go in and out whenever. She used to hide under the bed and want out in the middle of the night. Now, I don't have to worry about if she's in there when I go to bed.

I don't think she could see very well so it might have just seemed like a solid surface. She even watched the other cats go in and out but wouldn't even try.

Ah, I understand where you're coming from now. I consider "self-care" things like taking a bath, going for a walk in a serene place, taking part in solitary activities after a hectic stressful day, taking a ten minute time out from my caring role with a book on the doorstep even. Mental health therapy is something I would and do treat very VERY differently with the aid of qualified mental health therapists and medical professionals. Using self-care as a substitute for the latter would be like putting a band aid over a wound without taking the glass out first! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are peer-support mental health groups in SL that can be helpful though, even if they are not as beneficial as professional support. Sometimes people just need to vent, feel understood, and get advice from those who have dealt with similar issues in their own lives. Other times, all we might need is to visit a virtual beach, build something, or sort inventory while listening to music for a while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pet peeve in regard to this is a little the opposite in that SL does have some support groups out there but people who could be helped by such groups, do not avail themselves of them. So many out there with no ready access to professional services, either because of location, financial constraints, other limitations or just not recognizing in themselves the need of a little help and support even though it is obvious to those around them. The only reason I am still alive today is because after a little tip from an acquaintance about such RL groups led me to go check some out, wondering if it might help me with what I thought back then was a "little" problem. It was the non judgemental sharing of personal experiences of those group members, that helped me to realize I was in somewhat dire straits and needed the help of a support group structure to recover. There is strength in numbers when others in the group are also working on similar issues, making it much easier to change and develop new healthy habits to counteract the unproductive ones I was into. For myself I realized it is support group setups that are much more beneficial to me vs professional services, as there are those of us who relate much better to others recovering from a similar issue. It can depend somewhat too on how motivated one is in seeking out help though as some will work harder on recovery if they have to pay for the service whereas others are motivated solely by their own desperation to turn a bad situation around. Either way there is help and support out there for those who could use some, whether or not professional services are available and affordable.

Orwar Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I periodically make a half-hearted attempt of keeping up with what's going on in the world, and though it's occasionally vaguely interesting I tend to come to a point where I just feel like I'm wasting my time. A predominant cause to which is how absolutely worthless journalists are in composing text (you know, that thing they do professionally and get paid for - in this case with tax money). The other day it was how a woman was murdered with a handgun, and so they concluded that they 'suspect she was shot'. Today it was a mother who was arrested for assaulting her children and murdering one of them, and so they point out that 'the mother is suspected of this and that against her own two children, who are siblings'. I mean, yeah, that's kind of obvious if she were their mother, no? I'm sat in my chair, which is a type of furniture designed for sitting on, and I'm peeved. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his voice and how unique it is and how well placed it is in that song, just captures me right from the start.. I can think of a zillion movies right now that would have been even better if they put that song in a certain spot in them.. hehehe I love a lot of his music because it's so unique as well as him and his voice.. I'm really glad you posted it to be honest.. ETA:I just remembered , they used that song in Inglorious bastards as well.. One of it's most powerful parts of the movie..
