I only heard the WAM BALAM version before 😊 Interesting listen!

Nearly finished this...utterly INCREDIBLE On 11 March 2011, a massive earthquake sent a 120-foot-high tsunami smashing into the coast of north-east Japan. By the time the sea retreated, more than 18,500 people had been crushed, burned to death, or drowned.It was Japan’s greatest single loss of life since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. It set off a national crisis, and the meltdown of a nuclear power plant. And even after the immediate emergency had abated, the trauma of the disaster continued to express itself in bizarre and mysterious ways.Richard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, lived through the earthquake in Tokyo, and spent six years reporting from the disaster zone. There he encountered stories of ghosts and hauntings. He met a priest who performed exorcisms on people possessed by the spirits of the dead. And he found himself drawn back again and again to a village which had suffered the greatest loss of all, a community tormented by unbearable mysteries of its own.What really happened to the local children as they waited in the school playground in the moments before the tsunami? Why did their teachers not evacuate them to safety? And why was the unbearable truth being so stubbornly covered up?Ghosts of the Tsunami is a classic of literary non-fiction, a heart-breaking and intimate account of an epic tragedy, told through the personal accounts of those who lived through it. It tells the story of how a nation faced a catastrophe, and the bleak struggle to find consolation in the ruins.

Do you need to vent about things COVID-19?
Rat Luv replied to Seicher Rae's topic in General Discussion Forum
Yes, the army will be helping out with vacccinations, it's not a secret? They support the emergency services in crises, it's their job. They're not going to be patrolling the corridors in camo face paint, aiming guns at kids If you are taking these sites seriously, please realise they care more about clicks than you being safe and healthy! Anyway, I'll bow out now as this is way off topic, but stay safe -
The bit where "I Would Die 4 U" goes into "Baby I'm A Star" on Purple Rain is PHENOMENAL Also on Parade, when "Girls & Boys" goes into "Life Can Be So Nice"...so good!

OK, now I KNOW you're messing around (thank God!) You got me -

No offence @Madelaine McMasters - could you aim that at the person who's spreading this microchip conspiraloonery because if you check my posts, I'm arguing against it, it's the silliest thing I've heard. Thanks. -
Ah OK. I'm not sure...I'd guess it'd be something similar though? Otherwise, you'd have crowd shots at music and sports events and somebody could sue because they were shown without consent?

I think the (UK) law says that if you're in a public space, you accept that there's a reasonable chance of you being filmed.

Weird turnaround! Maybe she was caught off guard on the first day and felt insecure...but no need for her to be nasty about it.

Now 2021 in the UK...more fireworks in my local area than in town this year... I hope everybody here has a brilliant 2021 full of pleasant surprises. Stay safe! Luv, Rat ❤️

I used to have a sound gesture of the SL camera noise. I know it's bad, but I couldn't resist triggering it sometimes It was surprising how many people would get uptight about it, lol.

@iceing BraveheartOh I agree it is physically possible. I just don't think the UN are going to secretly microchip us. What would be the point if we don't know we've got the microchips? But this is maybe getting a bit off topic -

No...not really. I think it's more likely that the big threat to us all will be drought and food shortages. If the UN was trying to kill half the population why would they even allow the TikToks to be seen, which would expose them? And if a doctor tricks me with the vaccine and actually injects me with a microchip so I can be part of a new cashless society, what's the point if I don't know I can pay with my finger? -

But all the examples in that link are in lobbies, outside in the car park or in corridors, so the nurses might not even be on shift at that time. I agree it'd be vile if they were dancing around the patients or when they were supposed to be working, but they may be getting ready for their shift or have just come off it. I couldn't do that job for a week, so I won't criticise how they let off steam. And nobody criticises the police for doing TikToks (I'm not saying people should btw)... Though personally, I'm not sure how I feel about them putting it online. Even without COVID, I'd be upset if a loved one died in an ICU and I then saw nurses dancing in the same ward. But they are people too, not robots, and that link seems a bit biased IMO. -

Also, I am not all that smart so when people talk about triangles and appliers, I just glaze over. It seems like a huge amount of hassle -

wife says sex in Second Life is porn?
Rat Luv replied to Macy Wezzog's topic in General Discussion Forum
I don't know really. I was going to say they probably are, but it might be different from IM copying policy as it only records local chat? It's definitely bad form though. ETA: Rolig beat me to it -

Rat Luv replied to Macy Wezzog's topic in General Discussion Forum
I once worked in a club where two of the DJs did not get on at all, and one became convinced the other was slating her to the regulars...so she bugged the place with a listening script in an object and spent two hours on another sim reading the local chat... We later asked how it went and she said "No, he didn't say anything about me", so we were like, "Oh, that's good," and she said "Nobody mentioned me at all!" and was quite upset ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. So I'd advise against using this script let alone pay 2,500L for it! -

I've used Electra a couple of times There's also a nice one called Puppy I discovered last month. I probably use Sandbox Island the most. Despite its reputation, the days of it being a madhouse are long gone, since they turned off scripts in most of it. But if you like privacy, you might want to consider somewhere smaller or more obscure.

I'm having that too. I also have to redo GMA settings every time I log in.
