Hi there! I'm Annie, I'm extremely new to SL but have managed to secure myself a parcel of land and a fairly roomy house I'm just knocking around in right now. This isn't really a rent issue as I only pay minimal land fees but I'd like to get to know more people and would rather not feel lonely in my house. This is sort of a tentative search, just to chum the waters and see who's interested. 

About the house: 

It has a furnished living room and three empty bedrooms downstairs, as well as an open space upstairs without much privacy but I guess could be another living/entertaining area. I also have a kitchen for aesthetic purposes lol. It's on flatland (well, to an extent, the land is kind of bumpy, tried to even it out as best I can but there's still some 'grassland' in the house, so if you like nature here's your place) near a beach in a pretty quiet neighborhood. I pay only 20 linden a month for land fees so we could just split that. 

About me:

I'm 28, I just started playing SL for fun, on a whim. I loved The Sims and this is a similar creature, I suppose. In both IRL and SL I like to live quietly so I'd be looking for people that wouldn't want to throw huge parties on the property, etc (though I am down to go party in other places!). Not looking for sex or relationship stuff either, I'm married IRL and would like to keep things strictly friendly (tho in the house if you want to go clothing optional I have no problem lol, I have an outdoor bath that I'm not sure how to use but be my guest). 

So, just let me know! And I appreciate your patience, still learning how all this works! 

hi i am a homeless guy in sl cuz i ran outa money in rl and also in sl can i sleep in the back of the house ?

A while back I was trying on some hairstyles that I was showing a friend while we talked. I tried on this hair because I absolutely loved the curls on it: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/dafnis-FAT-PACK-CURLY-MESH-HAIR-Demo/14911414. I can't remember the exact words that lead up to this, but he said I shouldn't make a black avatar because I am white in RL. Said it was the same as doing black face. I've had many looks for my alts over the years, where they have all been different races, both mythical and human alike so it had never even crossed my mind to think of it that way.

At first I didn't think anything of it but the more I pondered it the more I kept thinking " Is it?" So I figured I would ask here on the matter to get a broader perspective

Do you all think having an avatar a different race than what you are born is wrong? What are your thoughts?

 

The conversation: I omitted names for the sake of privacy

Friend: Gah, I like that hair, but SO NOT ANY of your AVs
Me: I know, I love the curls but uuuuuuuugh, so not any of them, except MAYBE Rhia lol
Friend: Oh yea, but...... hmmmmm...... nah not really
Friend: Yanno... honestly it's kind of a "black girl" hair
Me: Hehe I see that
Friend: and NO, you will NOT make a black girl AV!
Me: I personally coulda seen AJ wearing it lol
Me: ...why not? lol
Friend: That would be like the SL equivallent to doing Black Face
Friend: =P
Me: Lol yeah okay sure, and me making Ivy look Asian is fine? lol
Friend: Well... not really, no. But it's more acceptable than black =P
Friend: Native American would be bad as well
Friend: yanno... that actually does bring up an interesting question
Friend: is it really bad to chose to RP as a different race than you really are?
Me: Even though I have native american ancestory? lol
Me: No, I don't think so, because the characters I play arent real lol
Me: And you wree totally fine with me trying to make Rhia indian a while back, why exactly is a black person off limits?
Friend: It would depend on your portrayal really, but here is the thing... anyone that you came into contact with on that character (or any that is of another race, not just black), if they found out you were white the whole time, it COULD cause a lot of bull***** drama for you.
Friend: But also, you have to admit that there is a certain racial history that white America has, and that does kinda effect how things are percieved
Friend: when it comes to certain races over others
Me: Uhm no, I have Met ALOT of people who were white in RL and RPed as black characters, because most people in the RP community understand that its just a character
Friend: I get that, and I agree with you
Friend: My stance is that I wouldn't do it just because I would want to avoid the possible drama that might come along with though
Me: I get that
Friend: but also, i don't RP as much as you, so you do know the community better
Friend: I can see it from the perspective of "everything here is a story, and we're just writing characters and cooperatively writing this *****" standpoint
Me: but wit hthat being said, would you also say that if a white american person walked around with one of those anime characters, since anime is a big part of japanese culture, that it would also be inappropriate?
Me: *avatars
Friend: No not at all
Friend: what I'm saying though is...
Friend: while YOU and I might be able to see the clear cut difference between an "RP character" and what is RL; other's who aren't quite so involved might not get it that way

 did i already answer this i forget but just make whatever avatar you want  its always ok

Time for a random fun....what if thread!

Okay so, lets suppose that LL had decided to develop SL 2.0 as opposed to Sansar.

What new features would you love to see in SL 2.0 and what features would you carry over from Second Life and how would you improve them?.

 a great feature is nobody can take lindens out  so that will put a stop to all those girls workin as hookers in sl and also charging lindens for webcam shows on skype and also a great thing would be to make avatars that have a set hieght an cant be streched out to giant sized bigfoots by girls that dont know what they are doing female avatars 4'4 to 5'5   male avatars 4'8 to 5'9 nothing taller then that

I didn't know when this happened, but honestly Linden Labs, the way you've got the method of buying lindens right now is just straight up greedy.

Never would I thought that when I want to just pay $4 so I can have $987L, would turn into $5.49. Is the workload to transact virtual currency such a hassle to warrant the servicing fee?

Honestly, this move really speaks a lot of volumes. Is SL dying now? What is it? This is the worst decision I've seen when it comes to buying more lindens. Greeeeeeed!

i think they charge that extra dollar cuz the transaction is in europe or s who knows but it seems it maybe over seas

Actually I am suspicious of 97 percent of the SL females who claim to lesbian, that they are actually very straight males, I used to have this friend, she always wanted to have sex, and didn't own any clothes. She would IM me and ask me to come to here home, I would say I want to go shopping and ask her to join me, "I can't I am  naked", so get dress I said, "I don't have any clothes" OK whatever I am going shopping I'll see you. Eventually she did something so stupid I banned her though. Tried to make me think my account had been hacked.

I am using the Linden viewer, and even downloaded the Firestorm viewer, but in both viewers I see streaks emanating from all avatars...like...long lines touching all points of the avatars' silhouette and stretching into the distance....like the kind of cartoon lines you might see if a cartoon character were running fast.  See the image I attached.

I have been experiencing this since yesterday.  Yesterday, it was on-and-off.  Today it's non-stop.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  How can I fix it?  I tried clearing my cache but that didn't work.

could be graphics card or  ssd of you have 1 as main drive  

 

if you are usin a ssd dont listen to to much music on either on youtube or those radio things cuz i found out they kill ssd an m.2 ssd realy fast
