I agree with you - but SL has a lot of people who confuse SL with FB or Tindr :-)

Harry Dean Stanton was one of my favorites, from his crewman in "Alien" to the security guard who told the Hulk; "Son, you got a condition..." Best wishes to Harry in whatever comes next.....

I'm on SL for a couple of hours every day, and my RL profession prompts me to maintain contact with my much-younger co-workers - and the best way to do that is to use the social media platforms they spend so much time on (Voice calls and work-emails may or may not be answered, but everyone's chatty on social media). I would place SL and social media as "about equal" when it comes to how people behave. Both have small contingents of people who try to use the alleged "anonymity of the internet" to behave badly and both have been invaded by political activism - it just depends on where you go on either platform. I WILL say that SL is the easier place to ditch the Trolls (unless you have a sophisticated Stalker after you, in which case all bets are off), just by going somewhere else and muting people or leaving Groups in which the obnoxious and the "I'm gonna elevate your political awareness" types hang out. Some people see SL as just another platform to advance "whatever personal crusade" they're into, but for me its my vacation from RL. I try to keep it that way :-)

Just covering the basics.... 01..Do you have the airport group up? 02..Do you have the PROPER airport group up ? Many venues have one group for general members and another for those with different privileges. 03..Has some random Owner accidentally un-checked Build rights? This is an issue where you have several people with Owner-rights and who do not interact or communicate well due to differing time-zones or other causes.

/me drops her theory of life onto the thread....

and lastly....me having fun at the Forum Cartel Lair......

This was my "Demo" event earlier this week ;-)

Dancing with my Partner at Drama Libre's "Big Top" event :-)

The video for this has a REALLY long instrumental into.....so...lyrics..... The Stranger by Billy Joel Well, we all have a face That we hide away forever And we take them out And show ourselves when everyone has gone Some are satin, some are steel Some are silk and some are leather They're the faces of a stranger But we'd love to try them on Well, we all fall in love But we disregard the danger Though we share so many secrets There are some we never tell Why were you so surprised That you never saw the stranger Did you ever let your lover See the stranger in yourself Don't be afraid to try again Everyone goes south every now and then You've done it Why can't someone else You should know by now You've been there yourself Once I used to believe I was such a great romancer Then I came home to a woman That I could not recognize When I pressed her for a reason She refused to even answer It was then I felt the stranger Kick me right between the eyes Well, we all fall in love But we disregard the danger Though we share so many secrets There are some we never tell Why were you so surprised That you never saw the stranger Did you ever let your lover See the stranger in yourself Don't be afraid to try again Everyone goes south every now and then You've done it Why can't someone else You should know by now You've been there yourself You may never understand How the stranger is inspired But he isn't always evil And he is not always wrong Though you drown in good intentions You will never quench the fire You'll give in to your desire When the stranger comes along

I think; "Aha! My next victim!"

DJing an event where the costume theme is "Demos"...... that was fun :-)

With GoT........once I heard that it was a Story about people who disliked and feared Winter.....I sort of went "meh"...... I already know all about that; arthritis y'know.....

Linden Lab: "OK, who hired Amanda's cat as a programmer..... dammit? The login server has been "trying to catch the red dot" for two hours now...."

I have happily managed to avoid seeing ANY.... I'm also evil enough to make someone babbling about "White Walkers" uncomfortable by asking; "Excuse me.......but doesn't that sound mildly racist?"

Well, my plan for the day started out like this..... But it ended up more like this..... Kind of a let-down........

Also, avoid giggling on-air a lot......... a little is ok......but a LOT....... ...sounds like this..

Sometimes you have to be forceful to make the thread stop.......like....pepper-spray the settings or something.....

I'll say this; I enjoy chatting with this group :-) The new forums have been a vast improvement over the old free-for-all, and I appreciate the effort that goes into keeping them that way. Y'all are awesome :-)

The latest forum incarnation has been a great improvement from the old ; "let's run off the new people" days, but some of that has still been cropping up occasionally.

Create some stock sound-bites that you can drop into the que when you're verbally running low on content. I like gag "commercials" a lot :-) I have one for a combination Mortuary/Pub that usually gets a laugh when the "stop in for a Cold One" punchline hits......

Welcome back! Unfortunately, many places -do- place an emphasis on Voice - especially if you DJ, do erotic dance or escort. Unfortunately, SL places less emphasis on Textual Relations now that SL Voice and Skype are easy options. If you still want to dance, my first thought would be to apply at places where no one will care about voice-verification. That would mean places catering to the gender-fluid community. I am not sure if we're allowed to call out places by name on the forum (some consider that advertising), but when I get home from work and into SL I can IM you at least one place that one of my oldest friends on SL thinks a lot of. Its ironic :-) Many residents will tell you that SL has no issues with gender, but a whole bunch of places and people still wanna hear you speak before they'll hire you :-)

I never let any guy's drooling stop me from dancing with whom I want to :-) They'll just have to contain their jealosy........

I've seen M+M in clubs that are not strictly non-Hetero, but its not common IMO Girls dance with girls (if they're not INTO girls) because it turns guys on (in some cases)..........the male of the species is visually stimulated.

It occurs to me that Me + Fire usually ends badly....... but here I am :-)
