    Then at least YOU wouldn't be afraid of Threads.  It's a safe haven.

    I swear, too bad people have so much against Zuck!!!

    I mean I am not against Zuck, but also not with him. But then again, I am more against what corpos are doing today. Than the actual companies themselves. IE data farming and selling it to other companies. I wish Canada would adopt a bill, that would stop that from happening.

    I think the U.S. and Canadian dollars were at par for one brief, shining moment in the 1970s. It was a blip.

    *cries some more in Canadian*

    And people wonder why I prefer to hang out in the metaverse?  🤣

    2008 the CAD and USD were worth the same. This was when Canada was going through a huge economic growth and the US was not doing so well.

    Um.

    Far from being antisemitic, the meme is actually mocking absurd conspiracy theories of the sort that suggest that "the Jews" are secretly running the US. 

    It's only antisemitic if you also think that it's seriously suggesting that aliens, the Dutch, etc., are the real power in America. And I'm pretty sure that is not its point.

    I get that we are all very sensitive to possible instances of antisemitism these days (and I hope to Islamophobia, which is also on the rise), but the exercise of a little critical thinking should ease people's minds in this instance. 

    To reiterate, this is not articulating anti-semitic conspiracy theories -- it's satirizing them. It's not a joke I'd likely make myself, for reasons too evident here, but it is not antisemitism.

    Yeah I didn't know it was a meme making fun of it, so thank you for telling me that.

    Did LL just change the theme for SL21B?

    I thought the theme was going to be the Adult side of Second Life, but maybe I was wrong. The official theme is Elements.

    Sounds good to me. What do you want to see at SL21B?

    I think it means what elements as in communities and lifestyles makeup SL. So instead of celebrating one specific community, they are celebrating all communities that make SL SL today. Which is much better than having one community being recognized in a theme.

    I guess most Elements will be Mesh. 

    I want to see more Sculpties at SL21B!

    Replacing any planned "adult side of SL" theme makes a certain kind of sense.

    (Having it PART of the celebration is a sound idea, but having it be a "central theme" would be pretty crazy IMHO.)

     

    Especially with the certain climate that LL is going through with the allegations. I think it would be in their best interest to put that all on the back burner until things have settled down and the investigation is complete.

    Should we limit Second Life to one IP address per household and prohibit the use of VPNs and alternate accounts?

    Weird idea. And why would I even care about what's happening at London City?

    Alts are entirely valid. Content creators use them to test scripts, animations, poses, furniture, etc. Photographers use them as models. Regular users use them to keep roleplay personas or inventories separate for whatever reason. People who work in SL might use them to separate business accounts from personal.

    VPNs - whatever, no opinion.

    Traffic - not concerned. Most places I go have 0 people there. I kind of like that, since I mostly go to stores to shop or somewhere scenic to take photos. If you are looking for people, event and social groups are a great place to start.

    Anyway, alts are a staple in almost every online game/platform. Not sure why it matters so much here.

    Um I use an alt as a camera to take pictures of my main. And yeah I have a couple of alts I like to dress up. But yeah I don't think that kinda draconian thing should even happen. I mean some people use VPNs to circumnavigate the blocks in their country. And also people use Alts for bots for their store. As greeters.

    A Real Therapist/ counselor?

    As was mentioned before, many RL therapists do not view relationships in a virtual world as legitimate. Many don't understand they are actually real even though different from RL relationships.

    I would not trust a therapist that I could not see in person. That and it is much harder to analyze both parties on SL. Therapists also use body language on top of how they talk and answer questions. To ascertain what is wrong.
