Let's look at this another way... It sounds like you have a specific plan to do something. Tell us what it is and we can give you information on how to find land that will work to do that. You're acting as if the auction is the only way to get Mainland, which you might think from reading the Second Life website, but most Mainland that changes hands is bought from private owners or it's abandoned land that's purchased directly from Linden Lab.

Theresa Tennyson mutters, "What Second Life really needs is an automatic knickers-untwister."

It's a "guns don't kill, people do" thing...

Note it says "activity" and not "objects."

Aaaaaannnndddd we're right back to where we started IF there's such a thing as "adult"-RATED furniture (which there isn't but we're pretending) THEN it's not allowed in M-RATED regions ALREADY SO that won't change whether or not child avatars can enter M--RATED regions.

Yes, this is my understanding as well. So why did you post that that child avatars will be banned from huge amounts of M-rated regions when Linden Lab said that they won't be allowed near adult-RATED regions and content? Objects aren't adult-RATED. There is no way of doing that.

No, it doesn't. It has ratings on marketplace listings, which are arbitrarily set by the seller and aren't part of the actual items sold.

Which is exactly the same as it is now, so the only change I've actually seen that's based on words from an official source is that child avatars can't go to adult-rated places. The overheated hufflepuffle about child avatars being banned from vast swathes of moderate-rated land either would apply now or wouldn't apply afterwards. And what exactly is a "sex bed"? Is a bed that has sexual animations that an avatar can't use due to permissions or access still a "sex bed?"

Looking at how the maturity ratings are written, "content" is more of a general description of what is on the land rather than talking about specific objects. Objects don't have any sort of "maturity rating" at all.

That's because the type of "adult content" you're describing isn't considered adult-RATED as it's not advertised and/or not publicly accessible.

If it's "adult-RATED" it shouldn't be on M-RATED regions at all. I'm making the RATED bold and in red because it's apparently very hard for some people to see.

Fun fact - I actually made that post before I even saw your post about "mansplaining." I was reacting to your saying, "That word doesn't mean that, it means this." It was just a remahrrrrrrkable coincidence...

And with that, a new word joins the lexicon: "Lunasplaining."

1) Various of my avatars can and do partake in all those things. 2) Huh?

Your cat should be able to be returned by taking out a ticket with KittyCats; they may be able to replace some other things as well. They have a website or you could see if there's a customer rep at the main store who can explain things further. By the way, clearing your cache isn't something you should be doing unless you're getting certain specific problems. It's not a universal fix; in fact it might cause problems in some cases.

It seems to be changing though - this thread has been around almost a day and we haven't gotten the usual suspects who defend no-mod yet. Also, I've been noticing that modifiable vehicles are becoming a lot more common, especially from "big names." The Lusch/Szym/GEMC family of makers are mostly -mod now and there's actually a cottage industry of making add-ons for their vehicles.

This is good thinking in theory, and in general, but a lot of the time the "choice" has already been made before the person consciously makes it. I'm a pretty intentional person. If I hurt you, it probably was a case of: 1) I was trying to hurt you, 2) I chose to do the thing that hurt you most from a list of hurtful options, and 3) I probably made some sort of chart. One of the things I had to learn about the world is that not everyone is like that. A lot of what people do is more or less by reflex. So, if someone else hurt me I shouldn't assume it's intentional just because of how my mind works. One of the keys to being resilient is to try separate yourself from what happened to you and look at it from the outside, and to see if it really means what it appears to when you're right next to it. Something that seems like a crisis or disaster can look much more manageable from a distance. (This is a more subtle and enigmatic song than you might think from other versions...)

Isn't that kind of like saying, "I'm not in my house, I'm in my kitchen"?

How does that make you feel?

And they complain a lot about things, don't they?

Once upon a time there was a website called Television Without Pity, where people wrote snarky reviews of television shows. One of the writers had an interesting variation on these lines: "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, you may be the one screwing things up for everyone else."

I'm guessing something like ChatGPT, since taking away the quotes gets you... The OP reminded me of the first affirmative from a high school debate, then it all went pear-shaped.

I'm guessing that they're not making that much to justify the sort of investment that was made. It sounds a lot like the hype for Second Life in the mid-oughts.

That might be an alias, but the name of the RL person behind Blueberry is fairly well known and no secret, and that name ain't it.
