    As others have mentioned, you should form a group. Mainly for notices of meet ups, locations, and suggesting topics for debate.

    Do you have the Marketplace url for these?

    Indeed. People today are acting as is Facebook and social media have created all these divisions. When what has really happened is social media has merely highlighted them. As usual, people want to shoot the messenger instead of taking a good collective look into the mirror. The argument can be made that a company like Facebook profits from stoking the divisions to greater heights. Sure. That is valid. So we as a society take FB down for this and then what? We clap ourselves on the back for doing good, while we allow all the other companies and industries to continue to profit from hatred, division, and destruction. Maybe I am wrong but it seems like we're just chasing our own tails when we criticize any media for reflecting back to us who and what we are.

    Facebook was down? So did anyone use their phones to actually call people? Or did they just go on twitter to complain?

    Rates? I can help you do all that for free. Styles and hair and all of that? I can show you a bunch of places where you can try a bunch of demos. As for apartment rentals, what are you looking for in terms of price, size and prims/object allowances? There are tons of real estate companies so it's easy enough to find what you want after some searching.

    What is often left out of the media-originated discussions, especially from the Delta wave, is that the chances of a vaccinated person catching COVID is far less than that of an unvaccinated person. Also, once a vaccinated person catches a breakthrough case, they tend to have far less serious disease, and the viral load is high for a shorter time. So even after infection, their chances to spread COVID are far less. We have mountains of data showing this. Now, after weeks of Delta, It's fair to say that the evidence is overwhelming.

    Capitalistic countries? You mean there is another kind of country?

    Yeah. I've only visited my Linden home 3 times. Who would have thought that the pre fabbed Linden home area would end up being the most horribly laggiest part of SL?
  13. Elysienne Nebula
    Yet you posted to the forums instead of writing directly to the Lindens.

    The difference between depicting smoking and a swastika? The latter is an expression of support for a genocide that killed 12 million people (6 million of whom were Jewish). The former is a depiction of something that used to be widely popular in most Western countries. It has health risks to be sure but the act or depiction of the act of smoking doesn't in any way imply support for one of the worst genocides in human history.

    So tell us about that two day logged in streak

    Most discussions are like that though. As for abortion and reproductive rights, there's not a lot of minds being changed because the sides have strawmanned each other's position. So, yes, they're not even addressing what the other side is really saying. As for US Republicans and Democrats....I can't say I understand what the differences are beyond Republicans claim to be for small governance and less spending but end up spending a lot and making big governance...while Democrats say they're for humane governance and yet love to drone strike weddings and funerals in other countries. Both parties are bought and paid for by America's corporate oligarchs - the ones who use media to create partisan political sentiments so that you all fight each other, while they sell you the tools and weapons to do so. They don't care as long as you keep buying and consuming what they're selling you. If that means hate your neighbor, even better, because nothing sells like fear and hatred. Human fear is the perfect market - even better than sex.

    It's a false equivalence to compare vaccine mandates with reproductive rights. One has to be very politically partisan - or heavily indoctrinated by the media one consumes - in order to confuse the two. Deliberately not getting the vaccine is choosing to be a potential COVID carrier. I would call such a person an infectivist, because they're taking a pro-disease stance. As for mandates and passports.....*laughs in international traveler*

    Imagine those of us who read this thread and see nothing that makes us laugh until our butts fall off.

    There was one time I received a random friend request from someone when I was exploring a sim and checking Marketplace for something I liked. They then IMed me to say they liked what I was wearing. I checked their profile and it said "I don't accept random friend requests." Which I guess is technically not misleading in this case......but.........
  21. Elysienne Nebula
    That's another reason I look at profiles.

    Once I had an American explain it to me that it was because of language. North America is the English speaking part. If that is the case, North America is a much smaller place than national borders would have us believe. As for Québec, the independence movement has cred here. In the past, it was people like them who stood up for canadiens (often called "French Canadians or canadiens-français) rights. Canada is a far different country nowadays where there is freedom for Québec to develop and thrive. The turning point was that people in Québec started using the democratic levers of power that they had formerly been told were not theirs to use. That said, Québec may not be a "separate country" - as in nation state - but it is a nation. Within a federation called Canada. Sorry to all the either/or people whose bubbles just popped.

    Indeed, the french fry is European. Though the potato comes from the Andes region (known as Tawantinsuyu in Quechua). In Québec we take fries, pour gravy on top, then add cheese curds. There are many variations but those are the basic elements. We call this poutine (put-sinn, not poo-teen). I also find it odd how some people say North America, because they assume, for whatever reason, that it's shorthand for the USA and Canada together - not understanding that North America includes Mexico (as well as Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Panama, etc).

    Nah. Noobs smell like Teen Spirit.

    It's like RL that way, because it's people. Everyone has their own boundaries and those must be respected. If some people don't want to be bothered by interactions with others, let them be. If you are looking for interactions, go to places and events where residents gather and it's more expected to have interactions. It's not really like the lottery. It's discernment and respect.
