    #1 drama

    Fall in love because I helped them. 

    Friend request. 

    Ask for Lindens. 

    Get mad if I don't answer immediately.... Recently called a **bleep** because I didn't see an IM, and even with an auto response because I'm often in photoshop, he still  got verbally abusive. 

    Helping a newb is like putting my head in a vitamix. I used to try but had problems. On guy reported me for a total lie and I almost lost my account. 

    They have no sense that second life is a community with standard of living  and behavior. 

    I still help n00bs.  I understand you didn't intend to make such a broad statement in the end because 'they' include those who *do* have standards of living and behavior.

    While it's good advice to always check the Grid Status before tossing up our hands in despair, I believe the OP started this thread BEFORE LL posted the alert on Grid Status.   


    Doesn't matter. You're talking minutes. Once something seems awry, check the Grid Status page. By the time they finished typing the WOT, the notice would have been posted.

    Then wait for the 'resolved' post:  [Resolved 6:53 AM PDT, 02 July 2015] This morning’s unscheduled maintenance has been completed. 

  3. I love n00bs.  There was a time when the typing animation was thought to be too n00bish (i.e, if you typed in the air you were definitely a n00b) however it's come full circle and now there are all sorts of typing animations available because some see the utility of enabling someone to tell when they are chatting in local.  I have one that rezzes a bong when I type.

     

  4. I don't 'think' that I am a member of an exclusive club, I *know* that I am! 

    How does one distinguish a real biologist from the University of Washington and an unreal biologist from the same institution?

    If you would like a career in politics what is stopping you from pursuing it right now?

    many southerners believe this country would be 1000 times better without them.

    If by 'many' you mean even 50.1% you would be wrong.  One thousand times better?  No.  Do you write from the perspective of someone raised in the South? Living in the South?   The South of 2015 is not the South of 1915 or even 1995.  Don't let your hyperbole get the better of you.

    I said many, not majority. And yes, those that feel this way do believe it would be 100 times better. I am speaking from the perspective of someone who has dozens of family members living in various southern states. All of them have spoken of some of their neighbors who think we would be better off without blacks in the US. I'm not throwing out percentages here. That would be foolish. But even 1% is far too many. The last US census put the population of the south at 114,600,000 people. 1% of that number is 1,146,000.  Is a million people "many"? Many is not a hyperbole.

    The 1000 was a typo i missed. it's easy to hit an extra 0.

    Thanks for clearing up the 1000x v 100x since, even then, 100x would be 'completely and unequivocally better'.  Interesting, too, that your 'family members living in various southern states' speak of their neighbors who think we would be better off w/out blacks.  My mother was native N.C. and, when I asked her if she thought that she'd ever felt prejudice toward blacks, she responded 'yes'.  She did not feel that way at the time that I asked her but she was in touch with her feelings from decades earlier and honest with me.

    I am carrying with me around 130-140 scripts when i wear my mesh avie of aesthetics. is there a way to lower the script amount .. yeah i know, detaching it
    :)
    I am not able to enter some sims because there are script limits and i need to go back to my old avie when i am entering them and
    that irks me.

    It irks you that sim owners set rules for entry?  Excessive scripts affect everyone's experience.  I guess your choice is to avoid those sims or get over your 'irk'.

    Hello! I hope I'm posting this in the right place, and if I'm not, I'm sorry. 

     

    Although I've been playing SL for a while, I've always wondered...how does one get a job on there? I've been doing lots of little things here and there to earn some lindens, but I heard some jobs can pay better, I'm
    looking to find one that's fairly easy, pays decent
    . I know sometimes most places are looking for females? I can confirm that I am one, I can't voice chat (family is always so loud) but I suppose my YouTube can confirm that lol

     

    So, does anyone have any tips to give this old newbie? 

    What is 'decent'?

    I was in one sim, and teleported to another and I noticed one of the items I was wearing shrank by itself as if I had used the "Strecth" option in edit. It shrank to the minimial size, I didn't touch it, it did it completely by itself. Any ideas why this happened?

    Had it been raining in the first sim, and hot in the next one?

    /Things tend to shrink when they dry out quickly.

    //Venus, you ARE rude, asking for a picture of an erection, and it wouldn't be allowed here anyway!

    Actually, I just wanted to see if the OP would identify it as an erection. *snorts

  12. My avie is not as old as yours but I recall many off the oddball goofy things that could make life in SL, at least temporarily, funny. Crossed-eyes, detached hair up yo ass on TP, the avie body doubled over backwards, and losing random items of clothing.

    I do not experience any of the issues you relate right now.  Read the suggestions already provided and see where you might make changes on your end to improve your SL experience.  Good luck.

    I have the feeling calling that section 'Answers' encourages that too, it might sound too...philosophical, metaphysical, intimidating

     to many people,
    maybe 'Questions? Click here!"
    would work better, making that section the default landing page instead of the Blogs section too. On the other hand, if the unbanning doesn´t work, and the friend takes it personally, then this might soon be the right forum.

    Oh we tried to convince the Community Manager (about four managers ago) to change the name of the Answers forum but apparently it could not be done.  Was a nice idea then and still is.
