  1. I know what you are getting at. I am old school, which means I will use whichever word I want to. Race, ethnicity, nationality etc.. just words on a screen. People need to stop getting all up in arms over things that are not meant offensively. There are much more important things to worry about than sitting on an edge just waiting for others to drop a "omggg that is offensive to me" word. The world is offensive and will always be. There will never be a Utopian society. Again, a word not meant offensively by the speaker/writer/typer does not mean one is being attacked. Who made the definition of the word "Race"? Was it offensive back then? No. It was widely used. Some people decided to make it offensive. A word is just letters, it comes alive when the person speaks it, writes it or types it. That person's intentions should be taken in context. Our emotions put life into a word. If they are not negative emotions from the orginator then get over it.
  2. It can be looked at in a way similar to how the human brain is prejudiced naturally based on past experiences... like Pit Bulls, they are looked at a lot in a negative way. If someone had one ore more negative past experiences with Pit Bulls, they probably will be cautious going forward. That is default human nature. Of course, there will be some that say.. "oh, I love Pit Bills even though I had bad past experiences". Good for you. Most people are not like you, but that does not mean I am invalidating your views. I am speaking of the majority, to make a point. If someone has bad experiences with Florida, they may refrain from going there again. Again, default human nature prejudice. If someone had bad experiences with a fast food place, they will probably refrain from going there again. Should we be forced to keep going there just to not hurt their feelings?
  3. And? Waits... I have freedom of speech. I will say a word if I want to.
  4. Most people will assume things based on past experiences. If they had bad experiences with a race, they'll be cautious going forward. It's human nature to think that way. However, we're going to have to work on focusing more on individual experiences. It's hard to not assume. We all do it. Instead of people flipping out on someone who is on the default nature to assume, try asking them to give you a chance. We don't need to attack people if they do things wrong without bad intentions. It's called a mistake. Give them a chance to correct before you cancel them. Tolerance should be full circle, not just granted to those who think like you do.
  5. I use different accounts for different aspects of my personality. I also like to see how people react to my different looks. I try to think outside my normal box for each one. However, some end up similar lol.
  6. if you like table games like Greedy, Hand and Foot, Cheesy, etc. there are sims that are dedicated to those games. You can ask people if you can play a game with them. Most people at TnT games are friendly. If you become a regular at any place, some people may feel comfortable to talk to you since they have seen you around a lot. As other have said, go to places that have your hobbies or try a new hobby. It's best to become a regular at places instead of just being a infrequent drop in.
  7. I did not read all the replies so pardon if this is a duplicate or similar comment.. but according to my math.. Premium plus is not much more than regular premium...Correct me if am wrong.. Premium plus stipend is L$650 per week (times that by 52 weeks in a year)= L$33800 = approx $135 US Dollars Cost of Premium plus is $249 per year MINUS the stipend above = $114 $114 divided by 12 months is cost of $9.50 per month cost -------------------------------------- Premium regular stipend is L$300 per week (times by 52 weeks in a year) - L$15,600 = approx $62 Cost of Premium regular is $99 per year MINUS the stipend above = $37 $37 divided by 12 months is cost of $3.08 per month cost ----------------------------------------- So, for a little over $6 per month extra for Premium plus, you are getting twice the land size, way more group space, free texture uploads and other tidbits. Not a bad deal at all !
  8. Why are you yelling at people in these forums who had nothing to do with any of it? The people responsible are dead. How would you like to be responsible for something a relative or ancestor did? Peeve: craving chocolate and none in the house
  9. Are you ever positive about anything regarding SL? Why are you here for ? Do you ever experience happiness? Just about all of your posts are about complaining about others in SL. Wow, just wow. Hopefully one day you will experience true happiness and feel that you need to express that, to help birth some joy in the world.
  10. People that act like that are either looking for sex or they are miserable people who think that everyone should think like them.
  11. This beach has been around for at least 3 years, that I know of. Could be longer.
  12. Thanks for the heads up. Since the name is still the same for the sim, maybe they're remodeling.
  13. I haven't been able to go to Secret beach the past week. Nothing is mentioned in group notices or the owner's profile. Anyone know if it's gone or just temporarily unavailable?
  14. @Cali Souther did you end up finding a winner skin? I'd love to see your final updated look!
  15. All unattractive to me. Muscle is ok but to be that defined, it's like dating a bag of muscles.
  16. I may not reach out to a perfect looking avatar for any of these reasons: they're probably getting many IMs, their looks may intimidate me, or they may possibly be vain and shallow. On the opposite side, I've asked people why I don't get quality IMs much. They've said the above reasons. So, I think that I need to work on looking more approachable.
  17. Yes, I have the same problem. They could be horny, unable to carry a conversation well, obsessed with looks, or a super people pleaser. It's boring and tedious. I prefer a good conversation versus someone over praising.
  18. Can you show us a picture of the issue?
  19. Theme: The importance of social connections, friendship Due to Covid, so many became isolated. SL helped some and gave them a warm embrace.
