  1. Have you ever tried explaining to a Non Sl'er how intense the feelings can get inworld? The response is usually, incredulity, or boredom, or they start backing away looking for the mental asylum's number on their phone. A friend of mine recently described Sl as thoughts and feelings free from the many RL distractions, which seemed quite apt to me. Love is real here, so is heartbreak, and joy, and depression, and also hope. Sometimes in the same day lol. As long as it is real humans who are playing Sl, all the emotions can come into play.
  2. Session Skin, Lots of Izzies layers added to roughen it up a bit

  11. Thank you Ziva...minimalist...and Bachelor pad...was EXACTLY the style I was aiming for, so I was pleased that you noticed that... and I enjoyed your commentary and reactions. For my first week in my home the Kitchen consisted of a marble slab with a Microwave on it, then I thought...hmmm...wait...maybe that is TOO bachelor pad
  12. Interesting...may I enquire what would be your preferred order?
  13. Coleman seems to come from the Sam Harris school of discourse...a good-faith Inquisitor into difficult polarizing problems. So many discussions about race remind me of Karl Marx...his analysis of the problems of Capitalism are spot-on...his solutions however, caused more misery than enlightenment. There are definitely profound problems about Race, it is world-wide. There has been progress in a 2 steps forwards 1 step back fashion. One can only hope that solutions offered actually help, rather than hinder human progress. A little more intellect, and a tad less emotion might be useful.
  14. I am quite a fan of Glenn Loury, he takes a, calm, learned and data driven approach to some of these complex issues. I also appreciate Coleman Hughes, a rising star of the black intellectual universe. https://colemanhughes.org/ When the storm of emotions die down a little, it is voices like these, who will shed more light on possible solutions to these thorny issues.
