I like to switch to my alt and run around as a deer, when exploring Belli.

@Prokofy Neva You know, sometimes I feel like you want to dominate a discussion by writing the most long winded answer possible without actually adressing whatever you have quoted. You waffle on and on and I paitently read, hoping that somewhere in there is actually something that is a response to what I wrote... but nope. After a lot of irrelevant information comes your conclusion, that we are all offended because they dared to ask for ethnicity/race and that this is wrong, because its normal for Americans. Glory to the perfect by default american surveys!
Hint: My criticism wasn't about the question existing at all.

No, you're not getting this. It's BECAUSE they are woke that they are asking them! If they weren't woke, they wouldn't. Woke is all about identity.
Nah, its not woke in the slightest. Not even, if this was directed at only the US territory. And since its for a product with an international userbase, it just falls flat on its face, by either leaving out entire ethnicities or oversimplyfying them. I hope LL didn't pay much for this half-assed survey.

Like I said, everyone's totally free to their opinions on the questions. My point was only that these aren't out of left field and pretty much every consumer survey ever asks these same ones, copy-pasted. Like Ayashe, I also used to get paid to complete surveys to have money through high school or in between college jobs so I've done everything from psychological studies to "whats your first impression of this new prototype product" type of thing. Even if it was a survey called "how much do you like balloons" it would still want to know ethnicity/race, income levels, highest level of education, etc. 🤷♀️ They might seem completely irrelevant, offensive, goofy, etc but that's just how surveys are.
I'm not argueing that these questions are often part of surveys, but your post (and those of your two supporters) had the ring to it, as if it should generally go unquestioned and uncriticised. And I do have my fair share of survey experiance as well (also on the constructing side of it). I've only seen what people shared here and can't judge the survey in its entirety, but if the other demographic questions have the same quality... oh boy.

@LilNosferatu Well, its still a terrible example of a ethnicity question in a survey. Its incomplete and given the topic insensitive, if you adress an international audience.

Did they forgot Europeans on purpose?
Its worse. To me this looks like what you get, when you cross a purely US-centric worldview with the attempt of being progressive or "woke": You think its super important to differentiate between X groups of Native Americans and black Americans, while thinking the same differentiation doesn't matter for everyone who is neither of those two things. The result is a question that neither displays ethnic diversity, nor cultural/geographic diversity and has no good reason in being in this survey at all.
Edit: It gets worse the longer I look at it. Asia is just one blob to them, Europe/Australia/Africa/South America/ + countries other than the US in North America do not exist, all white people are the same...

If he has a cat, how does he keep it from eating him?
We have already established, that he is a mole but also big enough to operate a fridge. Assuming its an average sized fridge with normal sized products inside, because of you being able to raid it and not be suprised until opening the fridge, we can make a safe guess that he must be a human sized mole. Thats either absolutly adoreable or terrifying, but would explain why a cat wouldn't eat him.

Humans have to be the taste testers since cats can't talk
Short story: My mom has one of those calendars that tells you a random fact every day. During Christmas, it was about the over 200 cats, that are employed in one of Mars pet food facilities in the Netherlands. We were curious and googled it and came across a video about the facility. Part of the video was an interview with a dude in a labcoat, who just squished some cat food with his hands, talking about the fine tuning to archieve the perfect texture... and then he just dipped his fingers into that mush and casually ate a bit as if it was the most normal thing to do.

Maybe just don't read the things then?
Perhaps he wouldn't be quite so prolific a thread starter if he actually received some informed, generous, empathetic advice.....oh wait, I forgot where I was 🙂
"Don't read it"? I could say the same thing: Just don't read the replies you don't like (or don't be and/or don't return (on an alt) to a forum you consider to be so bad).
Why would getting "informed, generous, empathic advice" discourage someone from opening threads? Would be a first in history for that to happen. People usually just stop giving someone the benefit of a doubt after a series of weird questions and I think thats fair, because they either feel played, taken advantage of or start to feel like they are feeding into someones personal issues.

I've no idea why you get such a rough ride on these forums when asking pretty legitimate questions about online safety concerns.
You do seem incredibly risk averse however, so let's chat through a few things.
He is getting that, because this is the... what? Third or fourth (?) thread about some bizarre worry. What you consider incredibly risk aware, others consider paranoid... or trolling.

This has the same energy as people worrying someone "copies" their "unique" avatar style by checking what items they are wearing.

Might be an issue with two things trying to use the same layer... I think it would be helpful to add what head/body you are using, so those who have the same can give more specific help.

Looks like you may have turned off bakes on mesh (bom) in your bodies hud. Because whats poking out is not a second skin, its the standard avatar body that is always underneath your mesh bodies, but usually turned invisible by either bom or a normal alpha layer.

I've no idea. I'm sure he's at least a 7 footer... maybe 8! I'm around 5.5 feet myself in world. I like being short LOL... most of the ladies at the NYE bash at Sanctuary of Rock were 6 feet or taller.
Shorty FTW LOL! (If I was using the Heaux Dreamy mod with the Kaya head, I think I'd be just under 5 feet tall. I'm using the Irina head here.)My bet is on 8... or its the perspective, that is making him look this big (You should still totally date him. Completely unbiased elf-avatar opinion here! *cough*). I just messured my male alt as a reference point and he his just above 7 feet (7.03 feet/2,14m) tall.

This is why the world has gone to hell because people have to follow stupid instructions like this where one thing is wrong and another isn't but it's basically the same damn thing.
Feels more like the "problems" of legal speak and therefore to some extend the problems of making rules or guidelines for anything. Too precise and there will be loopholes, too muddy and the whole weight on outlaying the "law" is on the "judge".
They want people to be able to keep their thread "active", even if its not a normal discussion thread and all the responses will be by a small pool of people or a single person. But at the same time they want to limit that option, to prevent people abusing the forum (because people will be people and this is why we can't have nice things).

Not "me"-me, but my male alt, after I spend my remaining Lindens on a shopping spree for him. I could watch those ears move around all day.

Newbies (or people who never progress past that stage knowledge-wise) leaving low star ratings on the MP, because they do not understand how Second Life works or are seemingly incapeable of reading any instructions or information.
I almost missed out on a nice store, because so many items had low star reviews. Turns out its just one stupid fork, who left multiple one star reviews across the stores inventory, because she can't be bothered to learn how to wear mesh clothes.

Choose a smaller house to decorate.
I wish they would provide more small homes across all themes. I like the Log Homes, but furnishing them and then also wanting a garden... ouf. Same problem for the Charlets(?) and I see it continuing in the modern houses, too.

What do you mean by "old" and "new"?
Because if this is refering to mesh itself, I wouldn't count that as truely new anymore. The technology has been in SL for ten years. Creators just got better at it.
