  1. It's funny in my culture we have this concept called "emotional cheating" and it's a huge NO in a relationship the moment you fall in love with someone else even if you never do anything else its bad and worse than if you just went out and paid for sex something to think about if your fooling around in second life with a person and developing feelings for them as strong as love you are emotionally cheating if this is the case you and you may want to look at why you are going online to get some form of emotional validation your not getting from your partner. And couples therapy may be needed.
  2. Depends on is it my floor that I recently moped? Even thou I know it is likely safe it would still be a no. however if it was not my floor that was freshly moped it would be a Heck no!

  7. i scarry thing is that is exactly my experance with runing in wondows vs linux in the same machine was a drastic improvement in useability another trick i found to improve perfomance was enable ACO and the new 5.10 kernel seems to have given me a boost
  8. FPS and SL is a funny thing and has a few things going against it first is the user created nature of SL few people who build for it properly optimize there builds so our FPS will always be horrible from that than there is the issue is it uses OpenGL which is being deprecated by GPU makers if your on a Radeon RX 6900 forget it you can enjoy 300+ FPS in your favorite games and a blistering 5 FPS in second life there is a fix for the Radion blues in Secondlife in the form of Linux because of the MESA open source Open GL stack in X.org you go from 5 FPS to 45-50 FPS
  9. Ah yes that lovely "lets put everyone in Ideological boxes and assign kudos or blame tactic" that we try to call "progressive" But it is literally crawling into the Crypt of Ancient civilization pulling out the purified corpse of Attila the Hun putting a diaper on it and calling it a new born baby. are some guys jerks? you bet ! but we cant attribute it to every guy on the planet. Crazy idea lets look at the individual and blame them for there own actions but still respect one another based on our shared humanity.
  10. interesting but sadly this V-dem site seems to lock up its raw data pretty tight (the PDF is just information about the organization it's self.) so all i have to go on is a second had source (Washington post) whish is not exactly known for being a centrist publication. https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings#ratings Being honest It does not matter who wins. The U.S. Government and its Economic systems are doomed anyway both parties are basically "good old boys network" so it will always be "more of the same" The divide between the uber welthy and the Poor will continue and any "social programs" they can dream up wont help our own citizens are too hostile having been tough to be so in school educated to be so by people "who entered a classroom in kindergarten and never left" While it is sort of a Meme to Quote Joseph Schumpeter's "Capitalism Socialism and Democracy" I want to point out his thoughts on page 147 But we might do worse than take our lead from the Iron Duke. Intellectuals are in fact people who wield the power of the spoken and the written word, and one of the touches that distinguish them from other people who do the same is the absence of direct responsibility for practical affairs. This touch in general accounts for another—the absence of that first-hand knowledge of them which only actual experience can give. The critical attitude, arising no less from the intellectual’s situation as an onlooker—in most cases also as an outsider—than from the fact that his main chance of asserting himself lies in his actual or potential nuisance value, should add a third touch. I will link the book if your interested it is a remarkable read. https://eet.pixel-online.org/files/etranslation/original/Schumpeter, Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy.pdf The Future is going to be a mess period sold away for cheep consumer goods.
  11. I know about autocrats and dictators I was a history teacher for most of my life. your view on the mindset on both parties is .. instigating but is not supported by evidence so I am going to counter with a link link to a study by The Pew Research Center published on on Ooctober 5, 2017 called "The Partizan divide on political values goes ever wider" https://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/10/05162647/10-05-2017-Political-landscape-release.pdf the study states that while the median line of the views of the republican party have shifted slightly more to the right it shows that it is the Democrats that have made the greater shift further to the left . I personly do not concider myself left or right leaning and am a Moderate and being honest the state of both parties is making me sit back and say ewwww can we have a decent third contender.
  12. i read the article and it did not mention his political beliefs. that is a HUGE problem right now people making people who don't think the same way you do into some sort of bogyman. the fact is many people on both sides of the political spectrum get pissy when you tell them what to do Look at how many people get mad when you tell them to do something as silly as leave your phone off in a classroom or ask them to not text and drive. We seriously need to stop playing the "Blame game" Fact is In the US there is only legally so much the government can do to stop the spread (those civil liberties can turn around and bite you in the foot) for example the court in PA declared the lock downs unconstitutional https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-idUSKBN26539Z Wisconsin had theres ended on a technicality that the State Assembly could not meet to approve extensions. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-idUSKBN22Q27W china was able to control the virus so vast because they do not have a law that protect the rights of people and even went as far as to forcefully seal people into there homes https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-quarantine-idUSKCN20G0AY and were going as far as welding doors shut on apartment buildings video below but this is a complicated issue that goes beyond "left and right wing" and that is my pet peve i can live with masks, the isolation the vitamin D deficiency and the depression from not getting sun but people turning this virus into a My side good your side bad thing I cant stand. were all in this together people
  13. Thank you for the link I was aware of Gimp and Darktable (i remember when gimp refused to have a windows port) but being honest i am not artistic enough to figure them out
  14. ugh not brave /BAT for those who are not in the know BAT is a "crypto currency" given out by the brave browser for allowing some adds to show. Brave also gives it to people if other users download the browser using there affiliate link. which results in the browser being shilled as much as RAID shadow legends is on YouTube
  15. i think it involves magic i am totalyl confused by it
  16. Defiantly not I tried it once but the Weaboo Japan fetishists became annoying. so I try to look like anything but my RL self in SL one can only take so many creeps.
  17. when a person leases a sim in SL it is theirs to do with what they wish and that includes rules that are exclusionary. while back ago i had a aircraft runway on my private parcel on the mainland i would allow people to use that runway but it was posted clearly i reserved the right to ban anyone for any reason and frequently did for some of the stupidest stuff like farting or burping over voice chat.
  18. if you like your current avi why change it? as long as your happy in your virtual skin keep it if people have a problem with an avatar you enjoy then to heck with em
