    Wow.

    Did you know that suicides spike in December? That for some people all Hallmark holiday faux and forced cheer make them feel completely alone and worthless to the point that it just seems to be easier to not live facing another day of feeling inadequate? Also, some people use SL as a way to escape those feelings of inadequacy for a few hours?

    Patch was careful to look at multiple sides of this issue and come up with a compromise that was fair and equitable to all.

    I expect to see Christmas crap after Thanksgiving. I can prepare myself for that. It’s freaking November 11th. How selfish to force Christmas on people who wish to avoid it as much as possible for 1/6 of the year.

    Its a religious holiday that I don’t participate in since it’s not my religion. Making ill-informed and hateful “jokes” is religious intolerance and bigoted.

    That one person you refer to probably has valid reasons for disliking the holidays that are completely unrelated to Charles Dickens or sex.

    Glad you’re not my neighbor.

    Ummmm... What? You read all of that into what I joked about? I honestly don't think anybody commits suicide over gaudy holiday decor in Second Life. This is the wackiest knee-jerk reaction I've ever seen in my entire 20 years on the internet. Have a cookie and chill.

    I'm an Atheist, btw... so you can miss me with that "religious intolerance" stuff, mmmkay? IF you did a small bit of research, you would find that Yule (as it was originally called) is a pagan holiday that was appropriated by christians. Either way, it's not a religious thing for me. I simply enjoy the aesthetics.

    Have a nice day.

    Lower banline height on mainland?

    in Mainland

    Posted · Edited by Cherry75

    This extreme dislike of ban lines & "aggressive" security orbs has a bit of a socialist flavor to it, IMHO. Who are these people that are flying all over the place instead of just directly TPing to a particular destination? Oh wait, I believe I had a rather unpleasant interaction with one of those individuals, a couple of years ago. A random "traveler" told me I should turn off my security orb because it had "interrupted" his flight. He then went on to elaborate on why EVERYONE should have public access to the piece of land that I paid for. I think he even went so far as to suggest that, if I didn't care for intruders, I should just GTFO of SL. This particular piece of mainland was out in the middle of nowhere, with large chunks of abandoned land surrounding it, mind you. So, after he finished his little anti-private property speech, I told him to kiss the inside of my #@%hole, and sent him home with a swift click. Most satisfying.

    My home is your home? Nah.

    'Tis a shame I can't use stricter settings on my orb in Bellisseria. That's the one thing I don't like.

    So I put my Christmas decorations up, as I have in RL as well, before this was written.  So I have to now take them down till Nov. 25th??  Hardly seems fair :(

    I was fixing to put some up myself, before I read the rules. If I were you, I'd just keep them up and not worry. The chances of being reported are slim. There's always that one person though, that Scrooge who doesn't get laid often enough, and they love to tattle about such things. Put a large snowman out in front, holding a sign that reads "Snitches get stitches". 🤣  See how that works.

    If it’s tastefully done and within the rules of the covenant, go for it! I flew by a Home last night with full bright square prim snow, full bright trees, full bright everything. I don’t know how those neighbors are coping, lol!

    Call me crazy, but I would love to live next-door to somebody like that. For the record, I had the most heavily decorated house on my block, during the Halloween season. A crypt with lightening flashes & bats, a cemetery, lots of fog, sound effects, a skeleton candy dispenser, and a ghoul that sprayed vomit when you walk past it. It was awesome. Gaudy holiday decor is so much fun. 🤩

    @Cherry75, some people are creating several accounts to increase chances. Other have alts for different reasons, and others have family/partners, and each owns a Premium account. 

    Seems like a waste of money, tbh. But then, what do I know? I'm a shopping addict trying very hard to resist the urge to purchase a yacht. My trad house is a block away from the lake. 😜

    I'm having the same problem, although I've been having general connection issues all week, due to my suck-a$$ ISP, whom I believe are secretly throttling my service. And THAT is what I pay $70 a month for! HOooRaaay!

     

    But yes, I can't log on at all either, and I think this may be a SL issue.
