    Oh my Gawd! - Totally unOfficial Pet Peeve Thread.

    Peeve: I spent around 5-6 years not drinking soda; I completely went cold turkey on it. Then about two years ago, I had some during a party somewhere... and BAM! Now I'm addicted again, and it's much harder to stop this time. :( I'm contemplating getting one of those sodarizer things to help the transition back to just plain water or unsweetened fruit juice. 

    I had the same issue with instant flavored coffee powders, too. (Don't judge!) Three-in-one coffee packets are very popular here (like the ones you see in K-drama product placements) and I was addicted to them when I was younger. I started drinking them again last year, but these days I only try to drink good black coffee, and try to avoid sweetened and flavored coffees. (Operative word: try.) It's an uphill slope to get my body to stop craving sugar again. *sob*

    Official Statement from Oberwolf Linden

    Typos.

    If LL had been serious about addressing the allegations in the blog post, then they would have at least come out with a statement saying "These are very serious allegations, and we are investigating the matter" a few days after the blog came out. A company that takes their product seriously would have done that from the start, even if only to help assuage their user community's fear and speculation. 

    The fact that they waited more than a month to even start acknowledging this mess, not to mention their silence on previous reports, allegations, and even in-world abuse reports on similar incidents from residents, just makes me think that their PR piece is a whole lot of nothing. Writing a basic PR piece saying "we're investigating" doesn't take long from drafting to legal checks to sign off. It shouldn't have taken an entire month for them to come up with what they just posted, which honestly amounts to nothing but motherhood statements and puff.

    People are mostly pretty lovely. My friends are lovely.

    @Josephine Carissa, who gifted me this really wonderful dress from KiB Designs because she thought I could use it in my "experimental" portraits, is certainly lovely.

    This isn't really an "experiment," but it's such a nice dress that I wanted to get a pic of it right away, so I bustled over to the Time Portal and took this vintage shot.

    Thank you, Jo!!

    Speaking of, have you seen the latest release from Salt and Pepper? It's a really detailed flapper dress. Thought I'd mention it in case you wanted one. :)

    Peeve: That feel when you've lost interest in a thing because it's been so long from creation to follow up, but you still have to do the thing because the client will eff you over if you don't. 🙄On top of which, your client is blaming you for them being four months late with their response. 

    Corollary peeve: WHY wasn't I born a billionaire???

    Any other people try to make their ideal boyfriend or girlfriend as a Second Life avi?

    (I remember a guy once telling me that he used a female avi because he enjoyed watching her wiggle her butt when she walked. Which . . . sure! Whatevs, right?)

    I once knew a guy who made alts like they were going out of style, just so he could watch them doing the oingo boingo on screen while he did... things in RL. To each their own, I suppose. 

    On topic, though, I agree that people tend to make their ideal avatars inworld, whether that ideal be human, furry, or anything in between. Why would anyone make an avatar that they don't want to look at for hours at a time, right?

    An old t-shirt, an equally old pair of jeans, and some sneakers are enough for horseback riding in Calas ! Afterwards, you need a good tea, a nice snack, and some cartoons... because there's no age limit for that!

    I love your shirt! May I ask where it's from? :)
