    And let this be an important lesson, kids.

    If you say her name three times, she appears in a flash of fire and a puff of smoke.

    Be prepared! Have a fire extinguisher handy!

    Only YOU can prevent Madelaine McMasters!

    You didn't warn people about what happens if they don't mention Maddy.

    God no, please. You'd become even more insufferable than you already are!

    Scylla, though I understand your trepidation, show a little compassion for me. If she does get a bigger brain, there might be room for me to crawl back inside. I'm currently sitting on the window ledge, soaked and shivering. There's not much I can do to rein her in from this side of the glass.

    Alts don't get bored, suddenly poof, have no idea what your'e talking about, always willing to stay in one position for hours on end, dont care how long it takes to fiddle with lights, environment settings and camera angles. Most importantly they never backtalk or give push back. :)

    I'll be interested to hear @Madelaine McMasters' views on this.

    You want to hear her views so badly you actually mentioned her? What the hell are you thinking, Quartz?!

    Do you know what's going to happen when she wakes up? She's gonna see her name in lights and grow her half of our head so big I'll have to step outside. Then she'll come here and bloviate.

    Marissa has clearly never met Maddy. Does anyone have even the slightest clue what she talks about? I sure don't. When she gets a bee up her butt, she prattles on and on and on until she sounds like the trombone "adults" in Peanuts cartoons. I really gotta wonder about anyone who asks for more of that. Seriously, what's wrong with you?

    Also...

    I'm perfectly happy to wear the only outfit in my closet, a referee's uniform. Maddy, however, looks at me and sees nothing but a mannequin. So, I spend half my time here standing around half naked while Maddy test fits outfits on me before sending them to her partner, who she keeps... half naked. I don't know why Nicole puts up with it, SL gets chilly.

    I'm not the only alt who's tired of being Maddy's. Dave23 (an octopus) now finds himself running "Dave's Laundry" on the ocean floor just off the coast of Maddy's little island. She tosses her dirty laundry into the surf every morning and expects Dave to return it, clean, the next day. At least he's got the chutzpah to hurl everything into the palm trees when he's done, forcing Maddy to shinny up there to retrieve it.

    The rest of her alts are usually sent to "The Far Away" to try to steal that damned locomotive. RootbeerDrinkingLampshade got caught in the act by AM Radio himself. Oh, how I wish I'd been there to hear that conversation, and to help Shady plead her case.

    It ain't easy being Maddy's alts. We'd sorely appreciate a little empathy from the rest of you rather than further encouragement for her.

    Great, now I gotta follow Snugs too, to not miss a nugget?

    Nugget? As in those things I find strewn along my forest paths and under the shrubs that have been chewed down to nubs over the winter?

    The Earth does have a design though in that it is an ecosystem meant to recycle that which is organic but mankind seems to insist upon not understanding this and repeating the same mistakes over and over.  It's the man-made chemicals the Earth does not know what to do with nor can it turn much of man-made waste (every day trash or radioactive waste) into compost.  

    I think we do need to think about going "green" again and finding ways to do that.  

    In another thread about what do you think the future holds, one poster said pretty much going back to organic or green living.  I think he may be right.

    I don't see any evidence of intention on the part of Earth itself, so I question your use of "meant". I hope that human intent can eventually figure out how to support us indefinitely. Absent in many arguments about green living is that there might be a maximum sustainable population. For all of human history, we've enjoyed the promise of population growth. Our children will take care of us.

    The greatest challenge facing us might well be the economic, social, and psychological impact of giving up that promise.

    I'm gonna try this, one last time. The guy in the video used this as an example..

    Someone dreams about  a relative, then wakes up and finds out that that relative passed away that day.. Now this person thinks some phenomenon has happened to them..

    When in reality in a world of 7 billion people, with like  I don't know, 160,000 that die each day in the world.. It probably happens more than we think, since  our relatives or people we know end up in our dreams, and it's a good chance that more than one person has someone in their dream die the next day..

    In other words, what may seem like a phenomenon to someone might not be such a phenomenon in the bigger picture..

    All he said was, yea sure, I'd like to believe that kind of phenomenon stuff, but I also like the idea that I am part of a much bigger machine..

    In other words, yea, It'd be kinda cool if that phenomenon stuff were really happening, But I like the idea that I'm a part of something much larger than  that.

    Richard Feynman told a story of suddenly getting a strong feeling that his grandmother had died.

    Just then, the phone rang.

    He answered it.

    It was a classmate, calling about something completely unrelated.

    As an anecdote, that's enough to fully cancel one human's correct feeling that their grandmother had died. I've tried to keep track of the strong feelings I've had that something had, or would, happen. I've been wrong so much that I can, to my own satisfaction, cancel out every such correct anecdote I've ever heard from others.

    I also like to believe certain things. That doesn't make them true. I love laying on the grass on warm summer evenings, looking up in into the starry night and wondering if there's someone on a lawn way out there, looking back at me. I can't tell which is more awesome, the thought that might actually be happening, or the thought that there's an evolutionary advantage to imagining certain things that aren't true. Whatever the truth is, so be it.

    There is no shortage of awe for me. It's the same for you, Ceka.

    No need to minimize the importance of the experience by labeling it as simply a pleasant feeling and not worthy of what our 'dissecting mind' determines as actual reality according to its logic.
    No need, either, to minimize the experience by supposing it's only an evolutionary advantageous sensation, labeled as such because our 'dissecting mind' finds no purpose or logic in it.

    I quite agree there's no need to minimize. So why did you just do it?

    I'm reminded of this...

    Brains. They are weird. I basically LIKE mine, I don't think I'd switch with anyone, but there are times when it just needs to go sit in a corner and think about what it has done.

    Be thankful you have an entire brain to yourself. I have to share one with Maddy.

    When I send her half to the corner, it just sits there, glaring at me, drinking root-beer... and belching.

    Nefarious indeed, I'm still trying to figure out why Teresa Matfield's alt would join my group and after going through my Caspervend transactions find 11 pages worth of purchases by her! For whatever reason would she have to do buy so many of my things? I find it very disturbing and creepy.

     

    Uh oh, the cat is out of the bag. Maddy will claim that Katz Republic is an alt of mine, with a Caspervend account raking in tons of Linden cash from Teresa Matfield's alt.

    She'll never believe that Katz inadvertently typed her response into a quote of my post, deleting the my original content. It doesn't matter though, Maddy doesn't have the login credentials for my Katz alt, so there's no way she can get the money.

    And I'm giving @Madelaine McMasters my golden ticket for the Forum 100 Ark.  (Unless she doesn't want it.  She just might prefer to jump ship and start burning zombies.)

    Maddy would be an excellent choice -- but let's not go there, Lindall.

    I can almost smell the butt hurt and drama that would result if we start compiling a list of favourite forumites. It never ends well.

    I agree that compiling a list of favorite forumites would not end well. And it looks like it didn't even start well, though Lindal's seemingly kind gesture is brilliant. She's effectively given up her seat on the Titanic, dooming the other nominees to set sail on a massive wooden boat... with Maddy.

    Agreed, don't go there.

    @Madelaine McMasters I got the offer of the free year of AppleTV+ with a new iPhone too, but wasn’t sure I wanted another streaming service. Does a person (me) really need five streaming services, even if one is free? You are the first person I “know” who has it, so I am glad to hear there are some good shows on there. I trust the judgement of anyone who likes The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I might just pull the trigger on it.

    Careful Eva. She also likes "Barry", and finds it aspirational.

    Surely there are better people for you to trust.

    I can't imagine anyone is going to the hassle of taking and posting photos for the express purpose of merely boosting reputation points.

    Everything Maddy does here is for the reputation points, and only for the reputation points.

    Your world, your imagination. Her world, her imagination.
