I don't have an account over there so that would be difficult to do. Are you sure you even know what post(s) I'm talking about? I never mentioned the thread name or what the posts were about.

Definitely not a J'accuse. Neither. It's a deflection. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the hunts lost its real value for the merchants with an inworld store IMHO. To make at least a bit out of all the extra work, more and more merchants started to charge for their goods placed in the hunts. And a demo for goods less than 25L$? Really? Do you ask a demo in RL too, before you buy a single piece of bubblegum in a mom and pap store? Demo's don't grow on trees. It means extra work for the merchants again. The peanut amount of RL money involved isn't worth the extra effort IMHO. Actually in RL you can try on clothes and things before you buy them. you don't get to take them home without paying, but you can try them on in the store.. Just about anything you can wear you get to test out first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how many of these items one has to sell to make up somewhat for at least an hour extra work? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seicher Rae Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Oh hai. Been a while. There's really no good place for me to post this, but I kind of had a bug up my you-know-what to share this info. Since the "peeve" thread was my 2nd home in the Forum, this is as good a place as any, but I'll have to be really creative to make this a peeve. Ok. Hm. 🤔 Let's see. How to make this into a peever. hm hm hm 🤔 In oh so many ways it is ironic, which might result in feeling peevish, that I'm actually feeling warm and fuzzy towards the Forum, especially the General Discussion subform. I'm feeling grateful, even... for the GD Forum! (read that GD anyway you wish). A little over 8 months ago I started talking in DM to another Forumite, Da5id Weatherwax. We "met" here. In this virtual place. We bantered in public. We clicked (pun intended). Eight months ago we did the SL partner thing. Today is our 8th month anniversary. When I met him I had one foot in SL and one foot out the door, for good. I was done with SL. But miracles of miracles, the stupid SL Forum put two people together, 5 time zones apart. We are doing so well. I'm so happy. And in the relatively near future (within a 12-month year), I'm hoping to make a trek across The Pond so we can do this thing in person. We both know the SL to RL journey is fraught with difficulties, but... yeah. This is looking wonderful. And it wouldn't have happened without... omg, it is so hard to believe, the SL Forum, GD subforum. Even this thread had its huge part to play. Who would've thunk? Not me. This place has given me a lot of heartache and heartburn over the years, and yet, it may be responsible for a huge YAY! So... Today being our anniversary and I'm a wee bit tipsy on wine, and feeling all mushy and stuff, just wanted to do a big ole "I looooooooove you guys!" and thank "the forum" (however one thanks such a thing) in person. Finding love in the SL Forum. It doesn't get weirder than that. Cool, huh?

Rat Luv Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 My peeve today is more curiosity...but it's driving me nuts because I cant find an answer So maybe Americans can help...I watched bits of the CNN interview with Donald Trump, and the presenter kept calling him "Mr President"...but he's not president anymore? By the way, this isn't meant as a political post, I really just don't understand it...nobody called Obama or George Bush "Mr President" after they served their terms...so is this a new thing? Sometimes it feels like the last 3 years were a crazy dream, so it would be good to know I'm not imagining it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it feels like the last 3 years were a crazy dream, so it would be good to know I'm not imagining it Presidents are referred to by that title even after they are no longer in office. The title stays forever. In formal settings, the others are referred to as Mr. President also. Hmm - I just read an article that says the ex ones are not supposed to be called that, but it happens all the time.

Thanks, I had no idea, and found a misleading site earlier that said it was reserved for 'the current POTUS'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
