Or you know what virtual background they're using on Zoom. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I'm sure pics of my computer room would make a "Matrix" fan salivate, but I think anyone who doesn't fall into that category would go "Ewww". It ain't pretty. Which is exactly how I like it.

At a business meeting I recently attended on Google Meet, someone asked one of the participants, when he asked for questions after his presentation, "Are you really calling in from the command deck of the USS Enterprise?" 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved seeing when people would mess up in those zoom meetings and forget things they had in the background.. One guy got so comfy that he started smoking weed during a zoom meeting.. hehehe That didn't end well for him.. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer: Peeve: people who pull me aside and say "I think you're a great guy, but don't let anyone else know I like you, because you're weird, and I'm worried about what other people will think of me". Happened way too many times in RL Major peeve: It still happens here in SL It's not to the same degree in SL, but it still effings hurts. Sometimes wanting to fit in can really hurt someone. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I understand what you mean now. It sounds like the "someone" being hurt is you, not the other person. Hence the peeve. That's what was confusing me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you have three choices, none of which is easy: 1. Don't be quite so "weird". 2. Try finding friends who are just as "weird" as you are. 3. Get comfortable with your "weirdness" and stop worrying about what other people think. I will not begin to guess which choice is best, especially since they are all painful in one way or another. Still, they beat being peeved forever. That's my pop psychoanalysis for the day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm weird as hell and I'm never ever shy about that. The people I keep around are either A) just as bonkers as I am, or B) find it charming for some reason and continue to hang around despite all that. If someone came up to me and said hey you're fun and all, but kinda weird sOoOoOooOoooOoO...don't tell anyone we're friends (which has actually never happened), I'd give them the ole eff ewe.

Oh i have no intention of not being weird, That's literally impossible. Nor would I even want to try. 2. I have people around me who are just as weird. Some just like to hide it. 3. It's what the people closest to me think that matters the most to me. 4. I'm not usually peeved about anything. I just ignore things that peeve me when it's possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marigold Devin Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) 22 hours ago, Bagnu said: I first thought the forums were an extension of inworld RP, but I realized they are not that. I've met a few people from here. Only one person was different. They were nice here, and horrible inworld. I'm exactly the same here as I am inworld, except I might be female sometimes. That would be me. I am "Marmite" on the forums, but am only ok in very small doses inworld. People might say you're weird. We're ALL flippin' well weird to everybody who doesn't 'get' Second Life. We just have to - like Rolig says - find people who are the same kind as weird as us. It takes all sorts to make a world. At least here on the forums we can have our little disagreements, go off to our corners, and come back after a little bit of thinking time, reason things out. In world it's a bit more instant, less chance to edit and to think, and situations can get blown up out of all proportion far more easily.

That's just gonna drive me up a wall until it comes back to me. I'm peeved about time. I took a three day weekend, which is extremely rare for me, and I can't account for it. I have spent hardly any time in world, so I can't blame it on that. I have a pile of books and magazines unread, which I planned to at least have a skim through.
