Most houses in SL are made for easy use of the camera at it is positioned standard in the browsers.
Therefor the furniture and the avatars look small.
So furniture is made a bit big bigger than the sizes we know in RL to fit the houses.
And that means that people adapted to those sizes and avatars grew bigger than the RL average standards.When I was new I was told "take whatever character height you want to use, then add 20cm" if you wanna fit the general motif.

That song makes me think of when 4 dwarven clerics get together and show how a dungeon "party" should really go.

- 100 millon users = 1.3% of the world's entire population
- 114 million = 1.4%
- 120 million = 1.5%
- 194 million = 2.5%
- 400 million = 5.2%
- 500 million = 6.4%
- 738 million = 9.5%
For some reason I can't really explain I tend to take these numbers with a grain of salt.
I wouldn't doubt for an instant that 10% of the population plays Minecraft. I'd have guessed 20 percent.

Debate with intellectually honest people is always interesting. Unfortunately in this age of mass propaganda people are being trained to hate, be emotional, and avoid genuine debate to come to a reasoned conclusion. It is a win my position no matter how wrong I am factually,

Or how about you just not click the topic. instead of thinking people have to care what you like or dont like seeing or where.
same with collars and leashes.. dont go to A sims if you dont want to see it. If you go to an A sim and some has a collar on they dont have to hide it or leave just because you are there. Even if you were there first.
likewise if you are on a A sim and someone starts a kinky conversation they dont have to take it to IM just because you dont want to see it. Use the tools that LL gave you, block them so you dont see what they are saying in local chat.
They dont owe you anything about how they want to talk or behave around you. If it makes you too uncomfortable then move away from them or block them and derender them. Even if you were there first it does not give you any special rights about what they can or cannot do around you.
Huh. wasn't talking about you, so i had to look back.
Nothing about this topic indicated your fetishes. this is a general, non adult forum and place. Instead of me not clicking.. random.. non adult.. general topic... you maybe keep your fetishes out of this general place? Yes, people DO owe basic respect. That's literally a BDSM commandment. Kink without consent is the antithesis of the scene. What indication was there to avoid this? Where is your kink allowed here? Was I supposed to stay out of a very generic, front facing forum where all are encouraged to be, or was it your responsibility to keep it to scene places?
You don't belong if you can't observe the basic rules of consent. Yes, you. You, Derpanherpa Herpfold, I am now talking directly to you. I wasn't before and you thought I was, and now I am. Keep your kinks to the places they belong. There is no scene without enthusiastic consent from all involved. You are part of the problem. You make those in the scene look bad. You're an embarrassment.People shouldn't have to "ignore" you. It's on you to be aware of consent.

I have spent hours reading this thread.
The people on the left.. all three of them... are debating, and trying desperately to educate, while continually re-examining their own beliefs. The people on the right are moving onto more whataboutism every time their last point is shot down by objective facts.
Funny be that, says I.

No, it's been like that for a while, it's just that very few people stand up to it here, so there's a weird comfort level with certain things being said. When I first started posting here, there was a right wing troll here posting regularly and a lot of regulars were agreeing with them. They got banned briefly and went over to another SL forum and promptly got rolled up like a carpet and sent packing. That should tell you something right there. A little jab here, a little poke there....its fiiiine, it was a little flip comment. I used to think some people were just unaware of certain things and if you just took time to explain them, that would help. Then I started to realize most of the time, that's not what it is. Then I thought maybe its a generational thing, nah...that's not it either. There's just a certain level of comfort that exist because the rules are arbitrarily enforced and people are able to exploit them.
I used to have a very full friends list. This George Floyd thing has cut that list down to 12.

Probably not. Most Role Play (RP) SIMs let people live for free. Many are totally empty. On the clubbing scene, clubs pop up all the time that try to establish a clientele by offering prizes for visiting.
I know, and it was halfway poking fun at the absurdity of claiming people get paid to live places in SL. Now for some off topic-ish banter!
I do run such an RP place, and it does tend to sit empty for a few hours a day here and there. I find most of the people who stick around are Scandanordiwhoovian people and Japanese folks who like that they've found a place which is, as was explained to me, "Japanese enough to be comfortable" (even though I has not going for that vibe at all.. just making it look like a little tiny urban area) but isn't overloaded with the ridiculous living anime/Japan fetish a lot of places tend to be. Now that this is out of the way, I can tell you why my own place sits a ltitle empty. I thought originally a lot of places sit empty because the "landlords" are either never around or are overbearing, and I still find that to be true, but I've learned other reasons some of these places fail:1) Going into it expecting to first build up a community and then start charging rent. Folks have told me they can kind of "sense" when that's what's going on
2) Skyboxes. Don't allow them, at all. Even if you have to cram housing in strange places (like on top of a McDonald's) you need to keep people near each other.
3) Too damned big! I used to hang out in a place modeled after Colorado and it was gorgeous! So many beautiful houses and little things to do, places to eat... and confusing to get anywhere. You had to drive a minimum of 15 minutes to go visit a friend... so it was easier just to teleport. You can't develop a community if people can't take leisurely strolls to stuff.
4) This one blew my mind: apparently a lot of free sims exist mainly as a way for dudes to try and develop a harem. I figured this one out because I noticed my land is almost entirely women and dudes don't stick around. I asked a guy why, and apparently I am "flaunting my wealth" with my whole slightly more than 1/4 sim. Paradoxically women stay on my land because I _don't_ try to bang them, but guys don't stick around because they think I am some sort of Mad Max tyrant.
...I just want people to play Cards Against Humanity with.I don't remember where I was going with this rant so I'll shut up now
(PS: I provide free Mama-Allpa services as I RP Nick as a medic... and it blows my mind people charge money to do this! It's good fun RP!)-

I need to get me some land with an owner who'll pay me for staying there ASAP
Also, WTF are the comments under that article? So far I've read about three marriages that broke up because of Second Life?
I let people live for free, is that close enough?

My biggest question is "why"???
My tired as heck take on it, as I work my 22nd hour into other stuff? The (relatively) new guy CEO is pissed that Sansar failed no matter how much of the money SL made was thrown at it. Since it failed as everyone expected it seems like he's looking for a quick payday.
It was a stupid idea, and it might bring down SL entirely.
Due to what Nika said above my confidence is dashed again. -

I think you are not reaching too far. They just did not want to admit they were wrong. You were near a andace floor. And not only that, you do not at all look like a teenager to me. If I had to slap an age on you I would go with 21-23. They are full of it, so leave them behind and be done with them.
Not only that, even if you were to look... 12 or whatever, just wandering a little too close to a sex animation does NOT get you banned (this is as a response to your question after the orange text).
This region owner, or officer, or whatever, simply does not like it when someone looks young, or "too young" in their opinion. She must have a real big issue with babygirls, the DDlg and ABDP scene too. And especially the babygirl and DDlg scenes are huge on SL, makes me wonder why nobody would be banned for looking too young there? (My RL partner is into DDlg and she too never heard of anyone getting in trouble with LL for looking "too young")Anyway, as you mentioned before, region owners can set their own rules, but this one pretends they are LL's rules. So forget about them and find some place nicer.
BTW, I too am wearing the Strong head by Genus. I wonder if they would feel I look too young too.
I just wanna say that is the absolute most beautiful head I have seen in SL so fart.
Edit so FAR, damnit! It's funny though so I'll leave it.

Press release: https://www.lindenlab.com/releases/linden_research_to_be_acquired
SAN FRANCISCO, July 9, 2020 — Linden Research, Inc. announced today it signed an agreement to be acquired by an investment group led by Randy Waterfield and Brad Oberwager. Closing of the acquisition is subject to regulatory approval by financial regulators in the U.S. related to Tilia Inc.’s status as a licensed money transmitter as well as other customary closing conditions. Upon closing, Mr. Waterfield and Mr. Oberwager will join the Board of Directors of Linden Research, Inc.
Thoughts?
We're done. As soon as a publicly traded company acquires anything, the death warrant has been signed. A publicly traded company requires infinite growth in a closed system which is impossible. It might be 6 months from now, it might (and is likely to be closer to six months) 16 years from now, but we are done here.
Edit: apparently the Waterfield Group is privately held. this actually could be a good thing. COULD.

For the sim sizes, direct from the ceo's mouth.
Friggin' heck WHY are any of us even asking for that? I have a rig that can run Red Dead Redemption 2 full 64 person hacked servers multiplayer with the "always photo mode" patch at 70FPS... but with Second Life and Firestorm I twiddle my thumbs for 10 minutes entering Big Daddy's, for example, and stare at 5 frames per second. It's not my connection, either. I could run 10 instances of SL before making a tiny difference in ping. My experience isn't unique, either. I don't know what Linden Labs is doing wrong, but there is something being done SEVERELY wrong.
There is absolutely nothing more important than fixing whatever the hell is wrong which causes this. The region crossing problems are likely related to _whatever the hell you're doing wrong_ for circa 2012 graphics to run like I'm logging in with a Commodore 64 when my rig can run.. well as above. You guys seriously need to pull all the tech dweebs in and make it so this doesn't run slower than Habitat (google it) when there's more than 10 people in a parcel. I'm 43 years old and am pretty much the young guy wherever I go, due to how it runs. We're people who remember BBS and so have patience but... there's gotta be fresh blood, and I don't mean brazilian ladyboy escorts. I love this place, I mean it's the best RP engine around but.. so help me I can't blame the kids for ADHDing off in a few days.

You giggle but with how damned empty it is everywhere I go, this is entirely possible. I look at what are ostensibly the most popular places and can add up about 4 hundred users.

Let's hope they read the forums :l
There's still a lot of the same regime left over that thought Sansar was a good idea. I doubt they pay anyone to stay online and make sure the grid actually works. That would make too much sense. Lay you odds they rely on the status page.

"If you miss it at 7, don’t worry—the program will repeat every hour until midnight ET."
So people will have five chances to catch it inworld if I'm reading that correctly.
Not to mention that for us current residents, this means some newly added/built technology that means people will be able to watch things together in SL. I'm more excited about that potential. Snuggle up with my honey to watch a movie together on a screen in our house instead of having to sync hitting "play" on another device or outside screen? Yes, please. Resident-created machinima premiers in SL? Yes, please.
This opens up some huge potential.
There are already many devices that allow this in SL.

I can't believe LL charges as much as they do in the first place. I can run an entire Neverwinter Nights 2 PW with just... humongous amounts of stuff to do from playing arcade roms to riding carnival rides, board and card games PLUS an entire full blown DnD world for the players to explore and level up, for 13 bucks a month and Linden Labs charges that much for a postage stamp.
