    The dedications to who they love doesn't bother me, even if it's in all 10 of their picks. I just close the profile and move on because they clearly cannot survive without being lodged up their partner's butt.

    Here are mine:

    • "I'll do THIS and THIS to you if you mess with _____ !!!"
    • More RL pics here: (link that changes my avatar)
    • Can't Verify? No Talk/Sex/Etc.
    • "No Drama! lolol"
    • TikTok Celeb~
    • POLITICS.
    • MC 1%

    One time I came across a profile of this guy who said that if we became friends then I was REQUIRED to allow him to find me on the map. 🤣

    A significant number of people have hilarious made up information in place of actual RL info.

    So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah.

    ^ This got me a lot of laughs in the past. 😛

    Viewer Ghosting... (ANSWERED!)

    in Abuse and Griefing

    ANSWERED

    Okay, I know you guys may not be able to offer the help I need per-say, and I am aware that Radegast is a 3rd party, but this has legit freaked me tf out and I need some guidance if possible.

    --------

    Since my PC is in the middle of upgrades, I'll use a text-client for Second Life called "Radegast." I've used this program on and off for years without an issue. That changed last night.

    I went to get a drink from the kitchen and just as I came back there was the familiar *ding-ding* of an instant message. Since I don't get messages a lot from my friends I was curious to see who this was from as I was active in a group chat moments prior.

    He starts off his message basic, "Hi. How are you?"

    I go to reply and before my fingers reach the keyboard, my name pops up, "Hello. I'm fine thanks. How are you?"

    Usually I'll have auto-response on so naturally, I checked to see if it was because sometimes I'll forget what I have done in settings. #noshame

    I return to the message window and he's asked another question. Again, I go to reply and there is my name again... But it doesn't make sense, this reply. It's almost like a chat-bot replied (Mr. Spanky - for those who know this bot in particular.)

    He replied, but around that time I closed out of Radegast and uninstalled it and for good measure I uninstalled Firestorm as well, followed by updating my password and e-mail.

    After all this, I ran several scans, looking for anything remotely suspicious. All my scans came up negative.

    In my 30 years of using the internet, this has only happened ... Maybe twice. The first instance logging into my AOL handle and starting ***** with my friends; the second time my PC would randomly shut down before I could run any sort of scans on it to find the culprit. So naturally, I'm in the midst of freaking out and calm.

    My search results are damn near difficult to get a straight answer, what with the dating terminology that defines GHOSTING as someone suddenly dropping all contact with an individual.

    I'm a Caregiver to my Mother; my AFK game is strong. A lot of the time I don't see messages in a timely manner...Then there are times when I DGAF and close the message out and move on. 98% of the time I am not friendly so if anyone takes my silence personal, it's on them.

    Marketplace Cart Issues.

    in Shopping

    Posted

    Okay, so... Marketplace.  I'll add something to my cart then after a while go to pay for it all and it's suddenly empty. 2k worth of stuff-to-buy is suddenly gone.

    I did make sure that I got the "this has been added to your cart!" confirmation before moving on.

    While it's not a pain to re-add everything, it does make me extremely hesitant about buying Linden and MP items.

    Grid Status does not name any NEW issues that I know of unless it popped up while writing this post.

    Is anyone else having this issue?

    i done too much pics with new shape. and i thinks..legs are too long or it s just because of  heels?

    That's why I avoid platform heels, sneakers, or boots (no matter how many beautiful buckles and spikes there are...) like the plague. Even though my avatar is short, her legs all of a sudden are not and I end up tweaking my shape instead of taking off the platforms like a normal person. Since you asked, they do look a bit too long - but it could also, as I said, be because of the platforms.

    Why do people support sellers that do no mod?

    This. SO MUCH this!!!
    Fullbright should only be put on items which are supposed to emit light, like a lightbulb, a lamp, fire, some eyes (for fantasy characters), and a few other exceptions. But flying around mainland I still see full bright houses, trees, plants, and whatnot. Very annoying when you want to have a nice night time drive. And I am not even mentioning avatar attachments like clothes or hair! Like that time when I was gifted a great looking black leather jacket, and when it got dark, I lit up like a freaking candle! The thing was no mod, and when contacting the creator he wouldn't work with me because he would only talk to the person that bought the jacket for me. *sigh*

    Girl, I've been playing with lighting a lot more...Make my pictures, you know-- better. I recently came to find out that a corset fat pack I bought... The spikes and chains sparkle. SPARKLE. It totally destroyed the fetish goth look I thought I had going on. Since I'm not wearing it at present I can't tell if it's Modify. The HUD offers no option to turn off the glitter look I had no idea was there. It's pretty, the sparkle...But like I said: It wasn't expected.

    Back on-topic,

    I don't care to mod any of my items unless they are furry. I do own a pair of mesh ears and horns that need to be re-tinted when I decide to change my skin...Tinting is A PAIN IN THE ARSE!! I can get the skin around my horns to look great, but my ears...I am constantly tweaking them because one day they're perfect (under one windlight) and then the next day, they're too dark, or bright (same windlight.)

    Drives me insane.

    Oh, cool! Do you find that eclecticism washing over at all into your RL style? I'm trying to think of where my own tastes have changed because of the influence of SL. Maybe I'm a bit more adventurous?

    My mum was born in wartime London, and grew up for a good portion of her early life under rationing; her own shopping habits -- for everything -- sort of reflect the waste-not-want-not attitude that I guess that must have impressed upon most Brits under those circumstances. I've inherited that, I think, and as a result I'm a pretty careful shopper even in SL too. Looking for things that are versatile, and can be combined and recombined to make different looks, is important, as well as just not, as you say, impulse buying. Mostly it's worked: I haven't had many instances of buyer's remorse. And, in fact, for me anyway, part of the fun of clothes shopping is working within those goals. It can be a bit like a game.

    1) Yes/No. I'll catch myself standing like my AOs a lot. I would love to do the styles that I use in Second Life, but...I can't run to the grocery in panties that says "Satan's Girl|" and a tube top- I don't have the body for either (nor do I want to get a bath in holy water...lol) Leesha wears a lot of what I would if I could afford it and if I had the shape to pull it off. I guess you could say she is an outlet for what I wish I could wear/afford. ;)

    2) I was raised that way too. But unlike my Mother, I enjoy spending money on things I want as long as I don't go nuts... Buying a 900$ flat screen if I only have 30$ in the bank. An ex-friend of mine often had to sit me down and discuss why it wasn't a good idea to buy a 2k kitchen from LAQ just because it was "pretty". You and I share the same- but there are times I'll buy an outfit just for the boots, or a top...I'll save the rest (unless it's a different mesh body) unless I don't wear it in 3 months or more. Keeping my inventory organized is a priority.

    I did, however, purchase a pair of $12-13 socks in RL for my boots...That was a painful buy for socks. But my feet appreciate it.

    My style is all over the place. Before joining SL I was a strict tomboy. I hated dresses of all shapes and sizes. But after I joined I started to learn to appreciate them and gradually came to love them. My Tomboy nature is still deeply embedded, and you can see that from my inventory,  but what I wear for the day - or days - depends on my mood ... and those fluctuate a lot throughout the day.

    I could dress in panties and a pull-up (click to strip) top with a fuzzy cardigan that hangs off my forearms and combat boots with tall socks and bloody knees ... then 5-10 minutes later I could dress semi-formal. 

    I don't know if there is one solitary person that I can pinpoint that inspired my love for a bit of everything.

    But what I do know is that I am extremely picky about what I spend my money on. Details, Color availability, how it looks on my avatar...That sort of thing. I don't impulse buy unless I know for certain that I am getting a deal.

    Not everyone celebrates Christmas either, but you hear just about everyone saying "Merry Christmas" in December, or Happy Thanksgiving near the 4th thursday in November, Or Happy Easter... Wishing someone a Happy anything shouldn't be viewed as a bad thing. It's a non religious holiday, no harm in saying "Happy V-day." Kind of like saying "Happy Friday" at the office.

    No matter what you or anyone else says -- today is CANDY HALF OFF DAY and nothing that can be said can change my mind.
