  1. Within literature text is given within a certain context/plot, or accompanied by descriptions. "She said sullenly." "He shouted." "Her voice wavered as she spoke." Beyond that, you have met the characters and have a feel for them. If that doesn't apply then you know the setting it takes places in, all of which give clues as to the tone of it all. So of course it works within literature. This however does not happen with plain text. All you can do is interpret and you never know for sure if you are right.
  2. And why is that? For calling out people treating others like their enemy for not sharing their opinion? The vitriol is much stronger one one side than the other and it's not the side you believe it to be. Just because I am not tooting into the same horn as most people in this thread doesn't mean I have no place within the community. Opinions differ and I see things differently. Does that make be an abomination? Replies in this thread have given me this feeling. I am neither right wing nor left wing, I just watched this thread unfold with an untainted opinion of everyone participating and let me tell you, it paints a very clear picture. Edit: Like I said, I am strongly rooted in the LGBTQ+ community, being bisexual myself and leaning toward other women in RL. I have not been exposed to the hate people of differing countries have. No, I have been exposed to my own countries hate about it, which differs from say the US. Also, as a german, it's not even 80 years ago that homo/bisexuals/transexuals were gassed en masse. THAT is a trauma most of you do not share with me. Perhaps that accounts for my differing opinion, after all things could be SO much worse than getting up in arms about a forum comment. Who knows.
  3. That is true of course. I was thinking about the cashing out process only for some reason^^
  4. Can't speak for others but in my humble opinion there is nothing wrong at all about not having a human avatar. Heck, half the time I'm a furry, a faun, a pixie, a deer, a little old granny or a little gingerbread man. That doesn't even cover half of my different avatars. That's the beauty of SL.
  5. Not at all. It's actually the sensible thing to do to check out a place, see how it's run, how it feels, how the amenities are before taking the plunge and filling out an application. This way both parties know what to expect. Instead the owners want people to go in this blind. Good luck to the workers.
  6. Drama free zone huh? Funny considering the replies by the owners. Not going to be a surprise how that turns out.
  7. You could use something like this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/jAS-VRS-Vehicle-Rezzer-System/9758259 Though your car will have to be mod as you would need to add scripts to that. It will also have to have a group/anyone option and not be owner only. There's probably scripts in the MP that lets anyone rez a car upon touching a sign, too but I just woke up, haven't had my coffee yet and my brain is too frazzled to look.
  8. It is absolutely impossible to hear the tone of voice of someone posting text. You know that. What you CAN hear is your own interpretation of what the person COULD sound like and you don't know whether you're wrong or right. I'm sure you too have been called out on something you wrote before and went 'wtf I didn't mean it that way at all' because the offended read something into your words that completely wasn't there. It happened to me personally too many times to count, especially since us germans tend to be very blunt and to the point. Just don't do it, it never works out.
  9. Or you could funnel all of your earned Linden into one account and cash out there. Saves you the trouble of cashing out multiple times with multiple accounts.
  10. Works fine for me. Have you tried another browsers? Have you cleared your cache lately?
  11. Yay for baiting. You do realise this is exactly what both sides having been doing to each other in this thread all along. But obviously only one side is wrong doing it! Heh.
  12. It's just another generic room. Here's to hoping the outside will at least be interesting.
  13. Nobody in this thread has been even remotely disturbed by the suggestion of having a sub forum. I keep seeing people accuse other's in here time and time again, even going so far as calling them phobes and haters when nothing of the sort has even happened. No wonder there is so much drama about this, a lot of it is self created.
  14. Had nothing better to do so checked out your rentals to see what you could improve. - When you enter the parcel you land in a really bland rock cave and the sign of your rentals is absolutely tiny. So tiny that even zoming in the font is barely legible. That's not advertising rentals, that's more of an after thought. People hardly read signs as it is and having such an unassuming one is shooting yourself in the foot BIG time. - Your TP below the sign doesn't work. - There is an LM in your notecard, but since you have teleport routing set to landing point you cannot use the notecard slurl to tp to your rentals, it will always just tp you to the landing point. In short I was 100% unable to even access your rentals!
  15. Holy crap I never even noticed this, thanks for mentioning it. Dayum that sucks >.<
  16. The only vitriol I am seeing here are from LGBTQ+ folks and it makes me cringe. *Takes her bisexual self and flounces off*
  17. I've actually seen this happen just the other day! I was looking for a build I couldn't find in my inventory and after a long search realised the the store was completely gone both on mp and in world. Dunno for how long. Then a few days ago the creator re-opened and re-uploaded all their builds to the marketplace. They also have an in world presence again.
  18. Only if there's then going to be a hetero sub forum as well because that's only fair. And yes I strongly count myself as part of the LGBTQ+ crowd.
  19. As has been said, the chances of you even making 1L from them is VERY VERY low. Not to mention you will have to pay for the land you put your vendors onto so in the end you will only LOOSE linden, not make them.
  20. You waited what? 35 minutes tops? They get dozens if not hundreds or more support cases every single day. So patience.
  21. You go to http://slurl.com/secondlife/Protoplasnic/47/12/2346 and there will be a sign saying something along the lines of 'pick up your pre-order' and when you click it, select the deliver option Edit: Just checked. There is a small sign that you can click to see what pre-orders you have and there is a sign for each pack size that you can click on. Choose the deliver option and it's delivered to you.
  22. Whether I should splurge 16k Linden on a Kreatures Diamond pack. It could pay off big time and net a hefty profit...but it could also..not. Should I gamble or not? That's been eating at me for a couple days now.
  23. You are indeed correct. A large amount of creators have closed their in-world store or left SL completely, after all SL is almost 19 years old. Some merchants also change locations and forget to update their MP listings accordingly. Sometimes its worth a try to look the creator up in world and check their profile or picks...found their store that way when the mp listing itself sent me off into space.
