  1. Past hour
  2. found on Thunes ..the why.... Tilia has Visa, Masterdcard, American Express, JCB and UnionPay .. Thunes seemingly doesn't have the acceptance of those yet. from Thunes : Part of the transaction is a 5 yr partnership to provide the curren financial services as Tilia has now for the residents ..with expanding to real time payments. The partnership is a business agreement for services after being sold, still a bit strange to avoid the word aquisition by LL, what is a essential start of the agreement.
  3. Adding, the big HUDs are thankfully plopped in the left-center of your screen. Similar to the unpacker HUDs which are dead center. Wheee!!!
  4. It is a speculation, as good or as bad of the ones from all the others here. We all know nothing more than what we see from the outside and discuss the possibilities. I for instance see mainly hedge fund practice going on since the (new) investors stepped in a few years ago: 1. Split up the company in parts. 2. Dress up the interesting parts that can be sold as good as possible. 3. Sell those parts for a profit. 4. Leave the remaining parts with all dept and let them go under. What I see is that we reached step 3. So yeah.. I'm not really positive at the moment, but do I know for certain? No of course not, I can only interpret what I see. But sadly, if it looks like ...... and it smells like ...... there is a good chance it really is ....... I hope I'm wrong, because SL is still my favorite waist of time after all these years.
  5. Omg, fail! I finally got it! Good one. https://omen.fandom.com/wiki/Thorn_Industries
  6. Here is the Ranch Railway network as of 24th April 2024. The north part of the Ranch sub continent railway is still under construction and more railway stations/railway line are expected to be built soon. The new railway stations listed below have rez points nearby and double tracks etc Click for the SLURLs to teleport to the railway stations across the Ranch sub continent (Far North) Wild Winds http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wild%20Winds/36/180/24 Kersplash http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kersplash/43/165/23 Seaweed http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Seaweed/60/95/23 Fish Sticks http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fish%20Sticks/26/53/23 Lost Again http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lost%20Again/20/79/22 Goodge Reef http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Goodge%20Reef/62/25/22 * Marimba - connection to railway bridge and rez zone here - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Marimba/43/120/26 Full Fathom Five http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Full%20Fathom%20Five/18/113/22 (Far South leads to underground railway tunnel) Briar Hill - (Loop around) http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Briar Hill/125/50/22 I'll update with new SLURLS soon.
  7. It can be tempting to lower yourself to the level of those around you. For example, if everyone else is cursing / using swear words, one is likely to being cursing also. My own mom started saying the "S-word" a lot after we moved to Texas. Peeve: I am reminded of something that I often quote. I was taught (paraphrased), "If someone criticizes you, why should it bother you? If it isn't true, then it has nothing to do with you. If it is true, you should thank them and change accordingly."
  8. Now I think you're referring to Asterisk and Obelisk! Oh, you are!!
  9. I'd be a bit harsher and state that threatening to block, telling someone you're blocking them and publicly stating how long your block list is ... are signs of quite the childish/immature mindset and one Hades of a red flag. Block and move on. If someone quotes a person you have blocked and/or you get curious to see if the person you've blocked has changed, well that's not an issue whatsoever - people make such a mountain out of the molehill of being reacted to or quoted by someone that has blocked them in the past.
  10. Not bad either. Hmmm, seems he's called "Vitalstatistix" for some of us global folks, although I think "Majestix" is better for a Gaulish chieftain. Also, sadly couldn't find an image of him actually hiding under his shield, but he does in some book, read them all as a child!
  11. Nuttin new here. This. Yup. Always (and the primary bet). And, along the lines of, "What do you say when you talk to yourself": * I don't run the joint, I remain rooted that my role is *customer*. My control is only where I choose to (continue) dropping an amount of money (amount(s) of which they have complete control to define, whether spending, or being paid). So how many brain cells will I burn off worruh-worruh about this? Well I certainly hope none. * Look at that shiny sparkly thing in the grass - over there *points* - lookee! I wanna go see. The effectiveness of strategy is bedazzling. * Change is uncomfortable. I don't think we can expect changes to occur overall that will benefit us, without some risk that more than a single change will happen and result in a little unknown = discomfort for awhile not knowing where it all settles out. But as we've all lived it for some time now in all lives, we apparently navigated it and today are fine. I certainly hope we are. I am. I will navigate this change. A bit easier for me admittedly, because I have never done payouts. If I chant it will be similar to: I will make good decisions. I will be here - or whatever works with the rest of my good decisions. If I am that stressed, I will diversify my investments of time etc and I will hedge my bets. I don't bet on the sky falling. I definitely don't bet on the sky falling for big corps, SL, or the entity known as Tillia today or any future morphs. Lots of Ifs there like approval, decisions tween now and then, then the five years of using SL to still run the thing while they decide what they want to do with it. But its their thing, not mine. * We can be part of it, or hey, one/more/all of us can "build our own" and be King/Queen. Send me an email when yas do, and I'll take a look. Its gonna be fine. Cos its gotta be.
  12. Yeah, announcements about corporate changes such as the sale of Tilia are very carefully timed. Even if LL is "privately held", people can be affected on either end by the news. I did have a paranoid / negative take on the "timing": If there will be some news release of "recent events", best to get that sale done first. While LL still looks pretty in a dress.
  13. Peeve. Charging for a demo. I was picking up demos at Tres Chic today and what used to be uncommon seems to now be common. Usually, I don't mind paying 1L for a demo because in most cases, they return it immediately. ONE vendor returned the 1L and I picked up about 5 that used this method. Also making a note of those that did not return and will be sending them a notecard. These are stores I've demoed in the past and they never charged. Is this going to be the norm now? I hope my 1L keeps you afloat because I won't be spending more in your store. Good job!
  14. People make entirely too much of the sexual in SL. It is the residents that have the kink, not so much the static products that may be on the MP. They could ban and delete all the animations that may be used for sexual poses but with the ability to upload for minimal cost, it wouldn't stop it for long. From a business perspective, a potential buyer should not be worrying about how much sexuality goes on in SL as it is generated by the resident partaking, not so much the products being distributed.
  15. I meant to mumble about this. What we're hearing now from the Lab must surely be communications carefully crafted by both (all?) parties to the sale. It's not only Lab's story to tell, and there may be ongoing obligations about how they tell it. The Lab Gab connection here is interesting, though. They announced the new "Community Round Table" communications medium, and lo and behold, the first one will address this Tilia sale—a topic surely in the works at the time that Lab Gab was scripted. Coincidence? (I can't claim that original thought. Credit where credit due, as usual Inara Pey with the scoop.)
  16. Not through in-world activities, I think, unless subconsciously, but I've "actively rediscovered" as well as newly discovered some music through browsing the "What are you listening to?" forum thread. 🎶
  17. Not all bad in my opinion. I'd love to see some of the smut and disturbing things I've run into on people's profiles removed from Second Life. THAT can only be a win in my mind.
