Just speculating about things as we all are, (which is a fun pastime on a forum provided people don’t get pedantic ), I’m assuming ‘one free *last name* change’ means the winners will be allowed to change the last name of our account from ‘Resident’ to ‘new last name’ or from ‘older last name’ to ‘new last name’. My unfortunate ‘Resident’ cousin is still racking up entries in the contest because nearly any last name is better than being clumped in with the ‘Resident’ clan. She was still a bit careful in choosing her first name, just using 5 regular alphabet characters in a reasonably pronounceable arrangement with a capital letter at the beginning and she didn’t use numbers or a ‘firstlast’ combo. I’m wondering how hard it is to get a decently recognizable but still unique first name currently without resorting to the numbers or 2-name squish. Probably not easy at all. That’s maybe become a barrier to signup. Indicating that you can change it for a fee later and meanwhile use a display name seems a bit cumbersome to me but it’s an improvement to the current ‘one chance, one name’ policy. For commentary on any LL policy, we can’t really know the full scope, immediate focus or long game goals of the LL business model besides the basic business ones of ‘stay solvent’, ‘don’t lose substantial numbers of users’, etc. so speculating on one feature’s importance in isolation feels a little like the story of 2 blindfolded men describing the elephant. I’m not sure how much conventional business planning vs innovative ‘not done before’ thinking is in play at the Lab, I’d love to think they are much more ‘believe 3 impossible things before breakfast’ than ‘historic trend-line’ but regardless, I am guessing that extrapolation and single point planning models aren’t used so much. With Sansar, they’ve taken a huge risk, and I’m assuming can afford for it to fail, and assuming further that these kinds of huge risks (and some expected fails at large and small levels) are part of the plans, that’s what it takes to innovate. I’ve been in SL since Feb 2008, I heard that it ‘was dying’ the first week I was here, and I’ll be 12 soon and I’m still not considered ‘an oldbie’ by the OG, and never will be!! 🙃 I have goals for my 2020 SL Bucket List, I’m still excited about the things I do here. I hear the extreme hesitation and very careful word choosing in voice at most Linden Lab larger public meetings and Q&A. I feel like it has gotten to the point where the spokespeople tell residents very little and only reveal sneak peeks of already-decided things because even mentioning anything tentative or kicking around ideas gets topics shredded and criticized very harshly both for the idea itself or if the idea doesn’t make it to development, which is a shame. Maybe it’s different at the weekly meetings, so I should probably go to a few more and see. A trend is a trend is a trend. But the question is, will it bend? Will it alter its course through some unforeseen force and come to a premature end? Cairncros(1969) tldr: don’t get hung up on any one SL feature, look at the big picture of your SLife. Have fun.

Granted, I actually know of a light and refreshing tasty Spanish sparkling wine, dry but not too dry. But you didn’t ask what it was so I drank it all myself. I wish my nails stayed fab 24/7 with no nail appointments.

Isn’t (or wasn’t) there an issue with too many things stacking on the right hand? Causing meshes to sometimes be invisible? I also try to put things on or near the most sensible point. Doll keys on chest or spine. I still have a few pieces of really heavy multi-point attaching jewelery and I didn’t change them because I don’t wear them out so no sense spending the time to re-align a 5 part tiara or a 3 part necklace...These kinds of things are on my list to photograph for the memory and then either mothball or discard in 2020.

Meet early to eat outside... TACOS

In my area, the ‘mall rats’ are seniors in expensive track suits and trainers doing their walking laps and then getting a Starbucks. Younger kids hang at the arcade/tabletop game shop, boba tea shop and the the movies, college age stay on campus, go to the gym or hang out in the hipster area at the bars, hookah den, food truck park and the 2 record shops. “Malls are for chumps.”

I binge-watched all of season 1. And all the extras. Warning: this has spoilers of episode 1

This song reminds me of SL

Eating too many Lindt bonbons(RL), writing in my 2020 editorial calendar(and making post-it notes for my SL calendar), reading tarot cards (RL&SL). Trying to decide if I want to get a new Linden Home this weekend if so, which kind?

Yup! There’s another very pretty art nouveau style gilded deck but it’s missing some key points of the RW symbolism, fine for an art deck but I need *all the symbols* for my decks I read with...and those major arcana cards had the names printed on, quite large. So these won the day instead!

Granted but not a corruption, lol. Everyone in the office bands together and takes turns just making some kind of a distracting loud noise whenever this happens.

Granted, but they drive you insane and reduce you to gibberish, rendering your wits useless to us all and that’s such a shame! i wish I had a good Feng Shui consultant locally to come asses the house personally and set up my zones perfectly.

Excuse to spill them all out again and pet them? Why yes!

None of the photos of me were only ‘for a photo shoot’, I was at events or doing stuff. I guess that’s maybe the only difference I can think of. Lots of bloggers just dress up to blog event fashion (platform dwellers) and lots of people just hang out shopping or at clubs. Or in green dot places to see/be seen?

No, I see a lot of variety depending on where I go thankfully! Formal, costumes, modern royalty, steampunk, kimono, Victorian, dystopia, cyberpunk, doll and Lolita fashion stuff, the amazing not-human-at-all avatars! And I love all of that! But I seek it out. Those are the places I live and/or hang out in. But...I think many of the current ‘shopping event fashions’ for really the past 3 or so years look very boring. So, that’s to say most of the SL fashion bloggers too. Not much couture, way too few gowns, not much NPIRL-type stuff, few fab costumes or amazing fantasy avatars, very few unusual pieces that are not very similar to RL stuff I actually *could* pick up at the mall. So now other than hopping in to grab 1-2 items, I only go to maaaaybe 3-4 special themed shopping events per year and I like that way lots better. edit: @Gopi Passiflora do I look like a mall rat? 🙃

I’m looking forward to shutting the door on the decade with the final Long Night, and I’m mining deep into my psyche for more insights into my true aspirations for the coming one. still feeling very stalled but I’ve thawed just a bit, I’m not completely frozen up anymore. Baby steps. I have 5 new books, a gorgeous new deck of gilded tarot cards and more new Feng Shui material than I can even get through by the time it’s time to set up my things in Feb! And Resolutions! Also tallying up and adding to my SL Bucket List which (since I made one), I take such an odd satisfaction from working on! @Beth, cold cereal is soooo not where it’s at, HOT OAT PORRIDGE will sustain me through the ‘20’s. 🥣🥣🥣

Granted, you now have native-level fluency in 5 languages of your choice... ...but simultaneously, so no one understands you at all. I wish I was less of a procrastinator. I’m aware of the issue, I’ve made a very good plan and am trying to take steps improve but I just keep putting off...

This was my question too. Most people I know don’t care anything about your alts unless there’s some reason to. There are exceptions of course but generally. I’ve only gotten mad and called out someone’s alt when a couple of people have bugged me using an alt after I’ve clearly told them to leave me alone.

Ooh, complimentary services, I’m in! granted, however you have to go to bed at 5pm sharp every night forever for it to keep working. I wish Christmas was over already!

Away lecher, we always yearn Alone darn, going in radical loops, swaying...AVAST!
