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.....- 2

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.

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 onWell, 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 yourselfDon'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 yourselfOnce 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 eyesWell, 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 yourselfDon'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 yourselfYou 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- 1

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?"

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......

I'm returning to SL after a 7-8 year hiatus. I lost my old account so had to make a new one. I'm looking to make money in SL. On my old account i use to pole dance, and I really enjoyed it. Love meeting and talking to new people. Wondering where are the best places for someone as myself to find good jobs as a pole dancer? I have looked at a couple places but they all want voice verification and i cant do that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
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 :-)

Must be why my friends don't dance with me.
That's why I don't dance with my friends.
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.- 4

SL vs Social media

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