Ivy Mysterious

Heres a new one I have been hearing a LOT lately I will get an IM from someone who isn't speaking English, and since I only know that language, I will tell them to please speak in English. they will translate but not before they say, or shortly after " You do realize not everyone is American/ speaks English, right?" ( not usually in that way but along the lines of that)..... I usually come back with a sarcastic remark like "No, really!? I hadn't noticed" Or" Well duh, but that doesn't change the fact I only speak English, Dumb*bleep*!" I've even been called racist because of this, which was both hilarious and infuriating....WHAT DOES RACE HAVE TO DO WITH IT YOU RACE CARD PULLING *BLEEP*?! VDMRRKJBFKBK

This has been a recent and new one for me, but people who use personal drama to try and get you fired from your SL job. I was recently accused of hacking, which I did not do all because I some how ended up as an owner of his personal friends and family group. I was reported for it, clearly LL knew I didn't do it, or I wouldn't still have my account now would I? Nothing doing this person...we'll call him Richard, Richard blew it all out of proportion and went to the club where me and my mother works, me as a hostess and her as a manager, and tried to get us fired, telling them that we had terrorized him, hacked him, etc. It takes a special sort of low to use personal drama as a means if getting me and the people I care for fired

If creators can't handle criticism of there products then they shouldn't sell them to begin with

I mean I think its pretty common knowledge that you invest if you invest real life money on any sort of virtual platform, whether it be Second Life, IMVU, Small worlds etc, you do that with the common sense knowledge knowing that the next day it could very well be shut down for whatever reason. Look at the many kids who invested their parents money into CLub Penguin, and guess what, its not around anymore and NOONE got refunded, its part of the territory

So pretty much all day today I have had an issue with my firestorm viewer Crashing and Disconnecting. In the last, rough estimate would say 14 hours, give or take I have DCed 2 times and had my viewer full on crash, completely freeze and close out without a single warning, about 12 to 13 times today. I have done everything I can think to do. I have deleted cookies, I have emptied my recycling bin, I have restarted my PC, I have cleared cache, Hell I even updated it to the latest version thinking maybe that was the issue, and nope, still crashing ( And I do still mean crashing, not disconnecting like most people, including myself, think it is when they get the grayed out screen that says that " Second Life has been disconnected..."blah blah blah) I have uninstalled it and gonna try again but if this doesn't work I am honestly just at a loss of what more I can do, can you all PLEASE help me? If it helps any here is a screen shot of my PC spec's. I will admit I don't have the best PC in the world, but I was doing just fine yesterday, its just been today that its been a pain (for personal safety reasons I have marked out my name because my system name includes my RL name lol) System Spec's: http://prntscr.com/ojpsaj

Since we're on the topic of Gachas, I HATE that the marketplace is such a gacha dump. Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather wait till a full set of something I want hits the MP so i don't waste L$, with that being said i hate that its become such a flooded thing

Stores that make you go to their inworld location to get a demo, and the sim is so laggy its physically impossible to shop Oh and People who charge for demo's, I refuse to shop at those places out of spite

I don't recommend a mobile client for everyday use, especially if you wanna take photo's, role-play, shop etc, but I do recommend it if you need to hop on an alt for whatever reason, need to pay rent, send something to a friend, etc, or if your on lunch break at work and you wanna log in and talk while you eat, small stuff like that

When they are being Rude When they won't take no for an answer when they show their crazy and threaten your life When they can't show a single bit of maturity When they try to gaslight you When they try to Catfish you When they lie to you when they start bashing you for how you look or act When they won't leave you alone despite multiple polite requests When they take things too far When you get uncomfortable I don't really think theres a WRONG reason to block people, if you feel its necessary then do it

I totally agree with this one! It's fine to have a pick about it, I do but if you have your About Me section your partner as well as 3 it more pics about them, it makes me roll my eyes. Like d*nm, it's sweet you love them and all, but im reading your profile to get a better idea of how to engage YOU, not your partner. Chill!

Newest pet peeve of mine. When i post an RP lure in a group and wait on the connected sim, I usually wait around 15 minutes to see if anyone bites, then if they don't I leave and find somewhere else to go. What I've seen a rise of though, is people IMing me asking me why I left, that their sad to see me go or better yet, they start TALKING ABOUT all the things they want to do with me..... like..... WHY DIDN'T YOU ACCEPT THE LURE AND COME ROLE-PLAY WITH ME THEN!?!?!?! This annoys the sh*it out of me, I put a lot of thought into my emotes, they are usually para style so when people don't come by with a response I already feel frustrated because it was a waste of effort and time, so people getting in my IM's IMMEDIATELY after I leave really rubs me the wrong way

So, with that state of mind, your basically saying anyone who wears a bikini to a beach, just for an example, that it is basically their fault if they get cat called, hit on, unwanted advances, or even worse, assaulted that its their fault because of what they may or may not be wearing and covering up. Thats both Sl*t shaming and victim blaming when in reality, like you said (Though I am paraphrasing here) that guys would hit on you even if you were in a nuns outfit. Its not the woman's fault at all, its societies fault for not teaching men to treat women like human beings with respect and dignity instead of objects to be subjected to their sexual wants and needs. We rarely tell men its their fault that we look at them because they walk around shirtless or with saggy pants, why should women be told to cover up, or that its their fault that they are getting unwanted attention? Not only is your statement very flawed, its disgusting and if I had the power to do so, I would delete it because although I respect everyone's opinions and encourage everyone to be vocal here when stating their peeves, I won't tolerate mindsets such as what you just stated

Good question....hmmmmm I think if you have more than 20 you may have a problem and need to seek counseling lol

And I probably should have stated this 39 pages ago but I didn't expect this forum to go on for this long, so better late than never right? lol I don't agree with how the recent drama played out with a certain someone ( I won't mention their name, wanna know go to page 27 I believe and you'll see) but I can also see certain points when they brought up people bashing others pet peeves and I wasn't innocent from it either so please from now on, be kind when it comes to criticizing someones peeves that they posted here. I get we're all human and sometimes things get out of hand but we're all adults here and we should act as much, if you can't criticize someones peeves without bashing them, slandering them or using otherwise snide or rude remarks to do so, then please refrain. I would like this forum to be around for 39 ( and hopefully more) more pages and I worry if we handle situations in that matter again we will get shut down, not to mention being rude is simply uncalled for Thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to seeing your future peeves -Ivy

Don't get me wrong, I have the mouth on me that would make Samuel L Jackson blush but when it comes to a civil conversation/ debate, I Immediately think poorly of someone if they ask my opinion, or state something I don't agree with and I voice as much and they resort to calling me names and swearing at me, like we're all adults here, act as much please

Heres an updated list: Peoples whose boobs are bigger than there avatar This: People who call me confused when I tell them I'm bisexual, or tell me they can make me " strictly D*ckly" People who will instantly start cussing at and insulting you the minute you state opposing opinions People who try to publicly out you and make you look like a villain, but can't see that they are actually outing themselves Interrogation IM's Rude club owners/ Managers

I have him blocked, is he still posting here??? Or is there someone else?

Here's some photography pet peeves: -Full bright furniture. Its an easy fix so its not that frustrating, unless you decorate a full scene, crank up your graphics and use your favorite shadows wind-light, only to see EVERYTHING you rezzed shining like the fabric is made of flash lights, THEN its highly annoying -When people get right in the shot and won't move. Before Friends Only mode was a thing this was something I struggled with almost constantly, and most of the time the person just stands there and refuses to budge if you ask -People who would just sit down on the thing your sitting on and automatically change the pose to a couple one. Thank god this doesn't happen that often anymore but I have gotten very heated with people about this before, like FFS you RUINED MY PERFECT SHOT! -When Textures decide they just don't wanna be fully rezzed anymore once you get everything adjusted perfectly - When you don't notice something is out of place ( Somethings floating, not the right color, etc) till your in Photoshop and then the mistake is glaring and you gotta retake it

It really is! Like mentally I know they aren't worth it, but I simply can't just let it go when I see they are trying to lie, it's simply not in me 😂

Wait what happened to Phil?

Sadly thats how its always been viewed, online and RL. The poor are viewed as dead beats who live off the government and the rich are usually the ones imposing that view

For someone who has NEVER had premium in the almost 9 years she's been on this platform I am heavilly against that idea. Just because I don't pay a monthly/ yearly price doesn't mean I don't contribute to LL's income, I shop on the MP a lot, which I know LL takes a percentage of, as does millions of others, premium or not. I can understand why you would want it, it would definitely HELP in weeding out griefers, beggars and other unwanted riff raff, its not a bullet proof plan.... I mean theirs a reason they done away with the payment info age verification thing

I appreciate you being willing to admit when you are wrong. I will admit my jabs about the MP sex dolls was immature and uncalled for, I have a bit of a harsh and crude sense of humor and sometimes to do I cross the line with it and that time i have no problem admitting when I was wrong and I was. I also appreciate your honesty in you telling me that the person that had contacted me directly was also you. On another note however, people post their pet peeves here knowing the odds of the reactions may be mixed and often not what they want to see. Hell I've posted some of mine several times on here knowing that I may get hate for them. Though I do ask people to be respectful I cannot however control what they say, nor can I delete comments that I feel have crossed the line

(I will be doing quotes the old fashion way because for some reason when I go through the pages, all the progress I have already typed gets deleted ) "- when someone posts their lists of pet peeves and you are tempted to personally attack them for it. good advice for us all." But Evenio's I believe you did try to attack me just last night, but let me explain why I think that. Last night around 7:30 PM SLT I was checking my emails and I seen a got a slew of offlines from someone, who I assume seen my latest comment on this thread and chose to contact me inworld instead of the thread. The offlines were: (For discretion reasons I changed this womans name to Betty lol) [20:09] Betty: i got a question for you [20:09] Betty: how can you "know" when a dom is not really a dom. when in all reality your not even really a sub since its all roleplay to you? [20:09] Betty: and suprise suprise given your Rl age you likely dont know the first thing about what actually being submissive is. ;-). (For context reasons I will state that I am 24 in RL but I still don't get what that has to do with anything lol) [20:09] Betty: just saying. But hey have fun "pretending" to be a submissive . 😉 off you go. [20:09] Betty: oh and btw. if you try to respond i will be ignoring you because i can already predict just exactly your responce would be. But thought id say that anyways. Have fun! my responses to this was: [20:10] Ivy RαєBєl Sαrαѕwαti (ivylarae): So.....you ask a question and then proceed in telling me not to bother answering......so what exactly did you get out of messaging me to begin with? [20:13] Ivy RαєBєl Sαrαѕwαti (ivylarae): I mean, you may be older than me, I don't know at this point and I don't really care, I've met 50 year old idiots before, but it seems highly immature to be like 'I gotta question but I don't actually want you to answer it" [20:35] Ivy RαєBєl Sαrαѕwαti (ivylarae): But to answer your question ( Yes I am going to anyway to spite you) Yes I do roleplay but to assume I am not a real submissive and to assume that I " Think its all roleplay" when A. You don't know me, you have never even spoken to me before now and B. There is no right or wrong way to be a submissive, he depends entirely on the individuals. What isn't a submissive to some people is someone else's ideal submissive. What a Submissive is to me, is someone who cares enough about someone and trusts them enough, to give them your all, I think in some ways its a lot like dating in some aspects. For one being you love your dom/ domme to some level or you wouldn't submit to them to begin with, its takes a good deal of dedication to make the D/S relationship grow. Of course theres a lot of kink *****ery involved depending on what both are into but you feel safe enough to explore those thing with your dom. In SL I think its a good deal different then it would be in RL, I will admit I don't know because I have never explored BDSM or D/S relationships before in RL, in SL its more what you both are willing to explore within the confines of an online relationship. Now I very much would enjoy having a conversation with you but the level of maturity you displayed (Despite you being older than me I assume) I doubt that will happen. I hope you find more productive things to do with your time online and I wish you good luck in your future endeavors. And welcome back to SL ❤️ [20:47] Ivy RαєBєl Sαrαѕwαti (ivylarae): I don't care if you answer any of the above, but will you atleast tell me where you found me at please? because this was all very out of the blue [20:47] Second Life: User not online - message will be stored and delivered later. Now the reason I believe this was Evenios on an alt was something he posted in the loooooong rant a few minutes ago was eerily similiar to something Betty said: "case in point claiming to know exactly who is a "Dom" and who isnt...when you yourself just roleplay. Its not real to you. its a game. To many people here myself included second life isnt just a "game". A lot of people have disablities or rl situations where they cannot quite have the life they want right now (of course im sure your brilliant reaction would be to call those people "losers".) yet for someone who likely doesnt have an actual submissive bone in their body how i wonder can you actually determine whos a "Dom and whos not" when yourself arnt even actually submissive? Blaringly obvious that too. " Not only that but you also typo on the same spelling they did in your shorter statement when you said: " but i oh so thank you for your lovely responces. and i think for the future ill keep my opinions free from these forums lest a group of you make a notecard of every thing i say you dont agree with and pass it around to all your friends (been there too)." If this is you, I am thoroughly amused that you got on a week old alt and contacted me inworld where you tried to gaslight and belittle me over stuff you seen on my forum and on my profile. If you had actually tried talking to me instead I could of told you all that I do know about being a submissive, but instead you chose to come at me with your mind already made up about me and talk to me like I'm some child your scolding

This is more of an updated list for RP People ( it's usually doms/ men) who think that just because they collar you in an RP that they own you. Most may be okay with this but when it comes to me in particular. If we have not OOC ( Out of Character) talked about you collaring me and I have not verbally agreed to it, then you do not own any part of me. The collar comes off as soon as the RP ends and goes back on when it starts again People who you have spent the majority of your RP time with, but still get whiney and entitled at the couple times you tell them you simply aren't in the mood for it/ need a break. It won't make me go " Oh I'm sorry, you are right let me drop what I was planning to do tonight to come play with you" No, you coming at me like I owe you something simply because I have been playing with you, ironically enough makes me never want to play with you again. I get on SL primarily to relax, de-stress have fun, if you go off on me the few times I have told you I ain't feeling up for it, then odds are we aren't gonna play again People who ignore limits simply because they think having limits in SL are stupid. it doesn't matter what you think of the matter, you respect the limits people have listed and don't try to RP them, its simple as that People who complain in your IM's when someone beats them to you. This happens a lot, the person will talk to me in my IM's for a good 20 minutes, often times teasing me about what they are gonna do to me, but then get annoyed when they see someone has beaten them to me. I am very much a first come first serve person. If someone gets to me before you, then better luck next time. You asking me to end it with them when you were too busy sweet talking me in IM's?.....no...be quicker next time When you clearly state that IM's= OOC and Local = IC yet they will STILL try to initiate RP in IM's, despite them being right next to you inworld. More times then not this very thing is against the rules of the RP sim I am at and its HIGHLY annoying At the risk of sounding vain and full of myself, it REALLY bugs me when my RP partners tell me that they only want to RP with me, that noone is as good as me...then they'll TP in someone to join the RP without so it leave me thinking "Uh huh.....way to just tell me what you think I wanna hear, darlin" Or "If I'm that good, then why did you TP in someone?" Again, I know this one sounds bad and like I'm full of myself, but its still highly frustrating when it happens because of the contradictions and Lastly, when RP sim Admins allow people to disrespect you because of the sims theme. for the sake of discretion I won't say the name of the sim, but because its a D/S, Misogyny themed sim, they allow the men to disrespect the women OOC and if you report them, then odds are the responses will be something along the lines of "Well they are the superiors here, you should have listened to them" or " Why are you arguing with the men and complaining to me?"
