You were questioning the Christian authoritarian movement, seemingly comparing it to a molehill. I’m advising you that it’s most certainly not. You posed questions easily answered by non partisan sources. By using the term molehill you in fact are “going into opinions and viewpoints” again on something you clearly have zero experience with. if you’d care to skim: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/02/04/qanon-christian-extremism-nationalism-violence-466034

Pretty sure you have me muted. Buuuuuuut you’re postulating like you already know the answers to your questions while using terms like skewed in regards to perception. It’s evident you have no idea how deeply the gop is rooted in conservative Christianity. This is an excellent example of what the mindset is here in my state-

What are you referring to as a molehill?

It’s all over twitter as well… a rabid social media tweeter with a huge following calling for a “rounding up” of anyone who attends pride events. Her personal Twitter was suspended but an account she has made clear is also hers is still going. She’s just tiptoeing now with her rhetoric rather than the full blown stampede.

If (when) we become a full blown theocracy questions like this won’t need asking. It will be too late & the repercussions already evident. As far as this goes, no, this has been in the pipelines for years. & they are blatantly bragging about what’s next- Cornyn yesterday calling for the overturning of brown vs the board of education. People ask how the Nazi Vernichtungslager came to be, how they were not stopped before they began. This is how.

I’ve been “making due” with speedlight website. It’s nice to be able to see something at all & move, but being a stick figure is 🫠. Maybe Sparkle will magically make a return.

Our eyes can’t always perceive all the beauty around us. Sometimes we need help: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-northern-lights-dont-look-anything-like-they-do-in-photos_n_5500a4d9e4b0e62d0dd4f9bb

I think you might have previously been referencing a screenshot based on usd- this is what I see right now:

Can you provide a link to where you’ve seen it discussed by LL? I’d appreciate it.

Is there really? Or were you joking? The 🤣 makes it hard to tell, but no one else responded to me…

If it was addressed-explained or if I am thinking too much into it- the premium plus 2,048m squared of land. Does that mean 2 premium houses in Belliseria, or is a new home type with bigger lots coming? (I get that you can now get a bigger mainland parcel). Unless it means a bigger land footprint in a Belliseria premium situation there’s zero appeal to premium plus to me (I know no 9ne asked for my opinion I just don’t have any use for what they’re offering compared to the other premium- a name change included could have sweetened things.)

Oh it’s fun to cam into a mesh head & see a brain 🫠

people treat events like the Met Gala. Every blingie meshy attachment & bazillion ARC (whatever it’s called today). & then stand around camming, or standing around waiting to be cammed. I got news for everyone else at an event. I derender everybody. I slip out of everything but an alpha mask, turn off the sky & water & just go pushing thru the bodies like I’m lost in a corn maze. Get what I want & get out. & it’s still laggy & rubberbandy.

Yes, you can tick your profile to appear offline, but you will still show up in a group member listing if the owner has it displayed. There’s also (or was) scripts you can drop in a prim to light up when Joe Schmo logs on or off. They can also send off lines in local chat like a nanny state. How do I know? About 10 years ago I watched a couple stalk each other via various means. (My advice to each was just leave the other alone & move on- I finally had to avoid them myself). So far as where you are on the grid, yeup there’s scripts forthat, but it will be in something your stalker gave you.something you dropped in world or wearing. I think even if you pick it up into inventory it still functions. When I was fairly new I had a stalker I blocked who continued to bug me even after I stopped “talking to their master”. For a few months this avi would try to get my attention by slowly paying me a linden at a time. This was back when camping & money trees were still a thing & I had yet to purchase lindens myself, so it was actually pretty fun to see my balance creep up over the days. Just kept getting the little notification “insane person paid you $1L”. They were convinced I was someone else (they probably harassed that person to). I kept blocking each new avi they created- like twitter bots- Jane123, Jane1234, Jane12345, but they kept paying me. Finally they moved on & the money tree shriveled up. The point of my long winded “back in Saint Olaf” story is that crazy, obsessed, & angry people will find a way. Again, be you own advocate (aimed at OP).

I’ve been in SL a very long time. I’ve been witness to people faking real life death to then come back as “someone else” & stalk people. I’ve witnessed SL lovers who revealed RL info to each other fall victim to the other when the spurned one invades the others RL via social media. I’ve seen some messed up stuff. And in only 1 situation did Linden Lab go hardcore on an individual & block them from accessing the service via every available avenue save maybe a court order (& who knows if it went that far). If this individual wants to access SL, they will. Even if it means borrowing someone else’s device, setting up a new account & logging in at a free hot spot. Long story short if there is a believable threat then you must act accordingly. Call the police. Create new accounts yourselves & don’t reveal them. Be your own advocate.

Tying Mr. Whipple with knowing what “whipple” means now. 🫠🫠🫠🫠 Maybe Fred the Baker can be honored.

I wind up watching every Nic Cage film I come across. This was so bad it was good.

Have you tried unplugging your computer & plugging it back in?

Yea, last time I thought to look there was still a region frozen in time dedicated for Duran Duran to give concerts. I think there might have been one. The region has just sat there, gathering digital dust bunnies for a decade & a half now. https://duranduran.fandom.com/wiki/Second_Life There was also as others mentioned, a toedipping of corporate sponsors into SL back then & it didn’t pan out. “ The Second Life online service is fast becoming a three-dimensional test bed for corporate marketers, including Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Sun Microsystems, Nissan, Adidas/Reebok, Toyota and Starwood hotels. https://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/19/technology/19virtual.html Ill clue you in on how that turned out (they’re no longer around in world). You’re trying to make solutions to problems that don’t exist. *& by you I mean the OP

I think your personal opinion that private sim fees are too high & “killing” SL is just that. An opinion. Not everyone can afford to drive a Mercedes. Some can but opt not to. Others buy something cheaper. Others can’t afford a vehicle at all. Those facts aren’t hurting Mercedes. Same w Linden Lab. Not every customer can afford or nor wants to pay for an entire sim. There are many options, all the way down to many, many folks never spending a dime on the “game” but very active in world all the same.

Yea that’s him. I googled last night to make sure I wasn’t misremembering before posting. He did jail time for one of the “incidents”. Then I remember he had a bizarre YouTube I had found 10+ years ago after watching that documentary. But there’s nothing posted about him or attributed to him in at least 10 years. So I’m guessing he’s moved on to another plane of existence. 🤷‍♀️

I posted years ago about this guy in the UK who had made up this entire misogynistic society based on Gor called the Kaotians & had managed to entice a few women & one young man to be with him in the real world. There was a documentary about this guy. It was pretty big, this pretend secret organization of sex slavers that were “always watching” etc. Reminded me an awful lot of a true crime case or two where women had been kidnapped & brainwashed into staying out of fear of threat to their family by “the company.”

Over the years I’ve encountered various places that come & go that would offer free homes. One was a Tiny Empires group, lots of role play groups will have group land that might offer homes to active members. Sometimes you just randomly encounter a new friend with land that will let you bunk with them. But like others suggested look around for a non demanding job, they’re not all escorting (which I’m not putting down) & the djing is yea, a bit of an investment in an already saturated market. Until then yes, you can always rez a platform on a sandbox & stick it in the air, pick it all up in one piece when you log & rerezz each use (just don’t expect a lot of privacy).

Yes 😃. The gold version does more like rewind game play, but the basic one we have has like 70 games. It has the yellow & white plug in cords, only one of our tvs has those inputs so you might check & see if you will need an adapter, too.
