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.

It's interesting that none of the names of (RL) people quoted as being from the "House of Blueberry" were the name of the real-life person behind the SL Blueberry brand.

What's your definition of "relationship dynamics between others?" Because your post about ignoring things or saying "no" being bad advice seemed to be more of a blanket statement. A lot of times when those suggestions are made the behavior is griefing. Some time ago we had a venue owner who was being constantly griefed by one specific person and the owner put up Youtube videos about how hawribble the griefer was. Surprisingly enough, the griefing didn't stop.

Theresa Tennyson looks up at Zalificent's post. Mmm hmmm...

Now how about these cases: 1) The behavior is unacceptable to you, but others find it completely acceptable. 2) The behavior is generally unacceptable but is being done specifically to cause a reaction, meaning that the reaction is encouraging the unacceptable behavior.

The button that says "None" in your picture. Each time you click it, it will change between "None," "Mask" and "Blend." Click it until it says "Mask."

I've noticed that you have a few quotes from "The Little Prince" in your profile, especially the chapter where the Prince meets the Fox. Don't forget this paragraph: “What must I do, to tame you?” asked the little prince. “You must be very patient,” replied the fox. “First you will sit down at a little distance from me — like that — in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day…” Just reading what you've been writing, you seem like you come on very strong and people who you start to be friends with end up avoiding you. People who talk a lot and want a lot of attention, especially when they've just met someone, can be exhausting for a lot of people. Few people come to Second Life to be exhausted.
