    umm i think my family are ok with letting me put their name in my bio just like they have my name on theirs 

    There is a difference between a name and a calling card, I usually reference display name not account name so it is not usable to look them up on search.

     

    This is to ensure someone I annoy here by having an opinion they consider wrong doesn't harass them in game

    I wish there was a way to “see our Profile as others see it” option... or a quick log-out (without closing entire Viewer) to quickly check using an Alt would be nice, too.  Sorry that probably belongs in another thread or a JIRA or something. ☺️

    There is, it is called make an alt.

    @Unickle I would hope you have checked the person  is ok with their calling card being on your profile

    I had a credit card initially on file in my account. I removed it. If someone hack my account, could they still see remnants of that? And what else could they see that could be traced back to RL? My email is purely as Pearl.

    Most people you can trace via sl or any other web service its down to their own stupidity. They leave an electronic trail. There sl profile gives you a little info, their flickr profile gives you a little more and now you can pinpoint their deviant art profile, their fb profile, steam profile etc..... soon you have enough info to say hey "Your name" this is your "family names", these are their "Phone numbers" this is "Where you work", this is "where you live".

     

    Don't link profiles, use a completely different user name for each service and it makes life a lot harder

    Hello, 

      Like the Title says, Firestorm keeps crashing on me within seconds of logging in. It worked fine a few hours ago but now... maximum 4-5 seconds and it just shuts off. (I have never had this problem before!

      Any suggestions or tip would be much appreciated!

      Cheers

    I would suggest logging in with the lab viewer and contacting the firestorm support group. If you find that crashes as well however it would suggest a problem on your account rather than a firestorm issue. You will likely get quicker and better support talking in world

  6. I thought this was the whole point of the other thread, the woke in sl one dont culturally appropriate I am merely getting with the program don't claim to be what you aren't. I said be proud of being american....why should the rest of us think of it as a good thing when so many of you spend all your time to try and avoid being it.....we take your cue from you if you want to claim to be irish based on an ancestor from 300 years ago rather than want to be american you insult not only the irish because you are not irish but all the americans of which you are one by implying being american is not good enough

    Lol.  Then maybe tell Nordic writers to stop flooding American bookstores with chiding tomes on how much better life is in Norway, Finland, or anywhere remotely Nordic.  Get used to being a mecca for aspirational tourists, there are many books like this telling everyone in the US who can read that life is better in Nordic lands.

    https://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Theory-Everything-Search-Better/dp/0062316559/ref=sr_1_1?crid=30K7NXNDV3ZBN&dchild=1&keywords=nordic+theory+of+everything&qid=1595628625&sprefix=nordic+theor+%2Caps%2C218&sr=8-1

    Relax.  It isn't so bad having everyone in the world want to be you.  Until fairly recently, that was the case for Americans, and we survived.

     

     

     

    Norwegian was an example and not my nationality

    And for the last few replies, we see another example of the problem with mixing Culture up with Nationality/Citizenship (to say nothing of mixing any of this together with Ancestry).

    No what we see is the problem with allowing americans because they are the root cause of all the crap

    /me returns to the thread and sighs. 

    No Kanry, you should not shut up.  You should feel incredibly complimented, that someone of a different nationality likes your country and perhaps even your own benighted self enough to want to identify with you.  You should gently say 'Thank you, that's a big compliment!"

    Before every bigoted troll in the US felt empowered to crawl out from under their rocks and demand that the US isolate itself, that was a scene that you could see regularly played in the US.  Some clerk would ask someone where they were from, just striking up a conversation, and the person would proudly say "I'm an American"!  And maybe they had got their citizenship, or maybe they just liked Michael Jackson [that was the case with my 2nd cousin in Italy, who told me he felt American as we bombed around the deserted countryside around Venice in his convertible], but whatever, the clerk would usually grin and say "great!".  That's what I did when a Turkish taxi driver in NYC shouted it out over the blaring Turk radio station.  Dude had an 'evil eye' charm hanging on the rear view mirror, was wearing one of those big ceremonial Turkish hats and an embroidered vest, but YES,  hell YES, I shouted 'GREAT!' at his assertion that he was American.

    So, all you who resent Americans or others trying to strike a bond with you by claiming their heritage, you could choose to welcome the admiration they obviously feel, and smile indulgently at their over-enthusiasm in voicing it.

    Or you can get your knickers in a proper twist, as many on this thread do.

    Your choice

    I dont feel terribly complimented when they tell me how my nation is and how my nationality thinks and then others gets the impression of them that I am the same as them. They should be proud of being what they are which is american.

  10. If your mother or father are norwegian and you know something about the culture speak the language a little, have lived there then no problem. 

     

    If it was well 200 years ago my family come from norway, never been there know nothing about it and dont speak the language but I claim to be norwegian

     

    do you not see why norwegians would have a problem with you trying to claim to be norwegian because you patently are not

    Ohh.. looks like I hit a sore spot.. you should really see a doctor about that  before it gets worse. 

    I get the feeling you are like one of those that claims to be irish american because your great great great grandmother on your sisters side came from Dublin and the genuine Irish call you a plastic paddy . Substitute the correct nationlities.....really you are just an american with no claim

    The arrogance and ignorance is strong it seems.

    For no I would not claim cultural appropriation at all.. it's your choice what you claim  not anyone else ever. 

    It is your ignorance saying people can claim to be something they are not and know nothing about and then painting a picture for everyone else. You really are an intellectual pygmy

    Doesn't matter what you want or like or don't.  You don't get to tell anyone what they can or cannot call themselves ever. It is not your choice and  never was or will be ever.  So you just need to grow up and get over it and yourself and your opinion. At the end of the day your view or opinion matters 0% to anyone else  but yourself on the topic of what nationality they  choose to claim. Tough if you don't like it either.  You're not their boss so have no say in it at all. No matter how much you might want to think that you do.

    This should not be so hard for everyone to understand  but it seems to be for some strange reason...I mean seriously.. some people really need to get over their arrogance about thinking they have the power or right or choice or decision to tell others what  they  can  or cannot be or call themselves...you  don't and never did or will.  Plain and simple... no discussion.. no debate.. no argument. 

    Doesn't matter how disrespected you feel at all. That is a you problem and not a them problem. 

    As so let me guess this right

    If I claim to be cherokee you will scream cultural appropriation at me because I have little cherokee blood, know nothing of their land or culture

    if I object for the same reasons to some idiot with the same amount of blood, and no idea of my land or culture calling themselves my nationality I should shut up?

     

    No really I wont you are wrong, go back to your village they are missing you
