I think it is fair to say that most of us here are a bit different 🤣 When you just want to accept people who hold differing views from your own, just find commonalities you share with them and build off of those. Don't focus on your differences, focus on the traits you share in common, when you see a post here that you disagree with, and it is really obvious that no matter what you say they are not going to change their minds, then just let it go. Plus, when you get down to it, most people share more in common than they do otherwise, for some reason society in general tends to focus on our differences. It doesn't help that people in power, take a magnifying glass to our differences, trying their best to keep everyone from joining together to overthrow them.. then you have all of the grifters out there that profit from it. Imagine a world where our media focused on our similarities, and grifters started to focus on their hobbies rather than outrage.. yeah they would all go bankrupt, lol. Seeing that this is likely the way it has been throughout human history, I still think a zombie outbreak is the best way to handle it all. Also considering I am incredibly introverted, and do not maintain any strong connections in SL, take it with a grain of salt. I think I just like hearing the tapping of my keyboard at 1:20 am, it is kind of soothing.

Happy birthday As to how to accept different people, I dunno. I usually just unleash a zombie virus, and it tends to sort itself out. The ones that do not turn, fight one another over the resources left. Alternatively, I have been amassing a bot army that uses AI, I plan to drown them all out with generic "As an AI chat bot, I don't really have .. blah blah blah"

Just hanging around in my dingy apartment waiting for a friend After a while, I gave up on them. They had called me and sounded frantic, and said to stay where I was at and they would meetup with me. After a while, I gave up and started to play on my C64, this is going to take forever to load Cauldron.. bleh Rather than wait five minutes, I just hit up the local arcade for some pizza and gaming 🥰 But then I heard something, it sounded like a train wreck outside, and everything was shaking so I headed outside for a quick look. Oh mah gawdz!! It's Godzilla!! He is wrecking havoc in my city!

Subjects like these are not typically looking for solutions, and those of us that contribute to them are more or less background noise among a sea of voices. It is nice in that way though, who the heck really wants to be in the spotlight and be a voice of reason here? It is better left with some animated gifs, and laughter, there is no knowledge to be gained, no wisdom to be imparted with, it is just foolishness to be embraced by the bored. Being the lazy hedonist I am in the moment, I entertain it, but my time would be better spent doing other things. My own response though, is just another bored person participating in a pointless thread and contributing to the sea of voices. Here is a picture of a hippo: All hail the hippo!

I know this is probably just a joke thread, but on the off chance that you are serious and simply wanting to be able to use second life offline then you can do so with opensim. You won't have any of your inventory from SL, but it is the closest to having SL while being offline.. and when the inevitable skynet scenario occurs, creates a fungus that turns all humans into zombies, and we lose the Internet, you can be building away in your own regions disconnected from the net, and using solar power to keep your computer running.

Playing around with the sky. I think I broke it... /me runs off

I'm trying to get a long island iced tea again, unfortunately, I couldn't find a boat to my favorite bartender "Triple M" so I went back to Helios and begged Anubis and of course, he declined 😭 Here I am asking. Just frustrated at this point, he never listens.. the heartless jerk! Bards from far away lands have heard of my tale, and generated a song for me. https://vocaroo.com/12LLh7zWheRG And a death metal rendition. https://vocaroo.com/1dQvbeN52tMT (courtesy of Suno, I love this generative song creator) Defeated, I went back to gambling, and won a few coins And now, I'm back to collecting flowers to get my boopsie crab

Taking a break from picking flowers Picking flowers is a lot of running around, I need a nap. I have 348 more flowers to pick, but I'm having fun seeing all of the avatars running around, I even saw an adorable mushroom bobbing around and picking flowers.

Oh my, all of this time spent at the fairgrounds, looking for a pickle while gathering flowers and I did not realize the swaginator hunt was all around in Bellisseria.. Them pesky moles! It was pretty easy after I figured that out. So, now I have a new plushie Then I logged into Suno.AI and had a song generated for me which was a lot of fun. https://vocaroo.com/1b6itFjKPtiH I'm slowly generating a playlist of songs to play while I am in SL.

There are probably a multitude of ways people can do it, I expect at some point there will be tools similar to what teachers and professors use to identify plagiarism by comparing the writing style of people, I've long suspected that may be the case, in which I am pretty happy that I have always been well behaved on the Internet and avoid social media as well as posting in general. Imagine all of the trolls out there, that have a history of posting on sites like 4chan, news articles, believing they had privacy... bah! They are in for a surprise unless this sort of thing is eventually regulated.

I wouldn't even bother, it seems such a waste of time to do these sort of things. I think if I really, really wanted to for some strange reason I would just have a LLM form the replies in my posts. My grammar is so horrible, and my style of writing is so predictable it would be almost pointless. I could also install Grammarly, which usually wants to change everything I type.. For the fun of it, now I want to create a thread where we all make alts and try to guess one another's forum main. It would be like masked singer, we would give little hints, based upon our past forum posts. I just don't know how long it would last before it was locked down because of the usual forum drama, and plus I'm lazy and don't want to host one and I don't want to go through the trouble of setting up an alt. Bing's copilot when asked to rewrite what I had written.

Yes.. There are people in SL, that will keep track of your IP if you leave yourself open. Don't ever assume privacy on any platform you are on, and act accordingly.. never let anyone ever know you put pineapple on your pizza, not if you are self respecting individual, who values their status among their peers 😜 VPN is even worse, put yourself on a VPN and the gubmint will be paying closer attention, they have a list of people who put pineapple on their pizza. Seriously though, VPN might trigger a security system and put you on a ban list for multiple parcels or even regions if your account happens to get associated with a person who had previously had the same IP handed to you by that VPN. It really is not worth the money spent, not unless you want to watch a few shows on a variety of platforms like Netflix that are only available to certain countries.

Picking flowers One flower and two flower Three flower! ahahaha 647 flowers to go! 🤪😜🤣

I thought I would try to catch a high resolution image of the Bellisseria fairgrounds Taken in Cool VL using PBR most settings as high as they can go and distance set to 512, FPS at around 8 lol PS: Does anyone see the squishy pickle in there anywhere? I need it for the swaginator, and haven't a clue where to look.. like am I supposed to go to the actual squishy pickle continent, or is there a pickles somewhere here? I'm so lost.

I always make it a point to stay well below the limit, so it doesn't really impact me. I'll typically stick to around half of my allowance, the remaining half are available when I want to goof around in my skybox while building things. I am curious how much lag this will cause though, and am glad that I recently purchased a new computer if it makes a significant difference. I wasn't here when they upped the allowance before, and am unsure if that had much of an impact on people.

I have a blister on my foot, a pretty big one and I wanted to try to get 15k steps in a day over the next couple of months. I'm going to try to get them in today, but not if it is only going to make it worse. Also tornado warnings, bleh 😒 On a plus side, I just noticed that pushing win + "." shows animated gifs.. I did not notice that before in Windows 10, I think I only got emojis before moving to Windows 11.

Is Beast Forest an RPG area, perhaps there is a person there presenting as a doppelganger, or even a bot designated as a doppelganger. I'm trying to think of a way that SL's scripting could be used to scrape your data, then change the profile of the bot to have the same description, that goes beyond my knowledge but I can't come up with a reason of why SL would have such a function. Did you check out the rest of their profile, perhaps there is some information there. Alternatively, it could be a pod person.. you did not fall asleep in this region did you 😜 Regardless, it is pretty interesting. I wonder if it just is a bug in the viewer, if you go to https://search.secondlife.com/ and type in their name, do they have the same profile still? Is everything the same, such as the real life info, the picks and so on?

Exploring the faire grounds, it is pretty cool here Trying out different vehicles, there was a duck floater behind me. I wasn't paying attention and almost ran over Abnor, I am a horrible person!

Have there been any events yet? I logged in earlier but did not see anything unusual.

Wide open roads, which is relief to the congested roads I spent on in real life to hang out with family As a side note, I have spent my time playing around with localized LLMs on my computer, and saw that I can play SL with no problem with GPT4All running in the background with a rather complicated model running, I enjoyed it so much that now I am thinking of converting a script I saw on these forums earlier to access it, and to create my own bot to hang out with. I am not by any means a competent scripter, but I do have a knack for pushing buttons, and throwing a bunch of nonsensical scripts I modify together to form a frankenmonster that somehow does what I want it to do. I would never be proud enough to put it on the marketplace, or put it up to the scrutiny of the web, but for personal use, I would love it. So my SL today, was spent in my imagination, thinking of ways to make this work. I think I can do it, eventually. Before this, I had dreamt of doing it, but my setback was an old computer that would not be able to run both things at once, now that I can actually run these two things together, I might actually create something for myself, and expand upon it. So, more or less, riding around, while day dreaming, and thinking of all of the things in Second Life that are possible.

That was a lot of fun, I'm looking forward to it as well 🙃🥰

What possibly could go wrong?

Cybertrucks do not do very well with balls 🤣
