    I don't see Second Life in the same realm or classification as most social media platforms. Its not really a substitute relationship between Second Life and services like Facebook, at least for me.

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

  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 :-)

  3. 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.

  4. 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

    Am I the only person who has never seen a full episode of GoT?

    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?"

  6. 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 :-)

    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 :-)
