    That was also addressed in the cartoon explicitly

    I have a terrible memory.  I may have seen "the cartoon" when I first came to it in this thread, but I don't think it was labeled "the cartoon" at the time and so every time you reference it, I am totally clueless as to what you are talking about. I can't remember what I read three pages ago never mind 29 pages here that I've read in the last week or so. So please, cut it out.  Show the damn cartoon again and label it "THE CARTOON" please.

    Managing your inventory?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    The first thing I do when I'm in the mood to work on my inventory is I use filter items tab in firestorm and just select the landmarks, scripts and notecards.  Then I go through and delete all the landmarks and unpacking scripts, and notecards unless it's for something special.  I can generally tell I won't need the notecards if I haven't already filed them away.  Then I empty the trash and feel good because the inventory number can go down by the thousands just doing that. Then it's just a matter of making folders and putting like things together.  I use tons of folders and sub folders.  My favorite quick and dirty clean up is take everything that falls below the trash folder and put it in a folder named new.  Then I will make sub folders in that and use the filter items tab and and select a time period and make folder for the months acquired. Then I can sort of find things by "how long ago did I buy that?"  Then  I will tackle just a one month folder and work on unpacking things and putting them away.

    Sorry if I pop up this question and is totally disrespectful. As someone outside the States, supporting any human being's rights no matter the skin or cultural background, what is it with Taylor Swift? I don't understand why her name has been around so much during all this sad situation. Is it because she represents some kind of stereotype?  Thanks for the clarification

    Back to Scylla's question: not in SL, since I don't interact too much inworld, and I am not sure I understand the whole dimension of what is going in the States, despite having great friends of different ethnic groups. However, in RL, I do support all humans are equal. We might have different backgrounds, cultures, skin color, sexual orientations, but after all, we are Mother Earth's kids. 

    Don't feel bad, I had no idea who she was before either.  I'm learning more all the time.  Still haven't actually listened to her sing, but that's ok, I'm not particularly fond of country music.

    peeve.. people with peeves thinking that complaining about them on some forums anywhere is really going to change it or stop it or those who do it.

    its the internet, most people dont really care if they make someone butthurt over something that they didnt like. as has been proven in many threads on the forums.

    :P

    Venting about peeves is an easy way to relieve some of the stress of being peeved. Nobody said it was going change anything.

     

    ETA: Apologies to @LittleMe Jewell and @AyelaNewLife cuz I didn't read your posts before I wrote mine

    Yesterday I saw a compilation video of Police kneeling, putting their shields down in solidarity with the protestors. I wish I could find it again to post. It gives a different perspective to the one dominating, and a positive aspect to the events that is under reported.

    I saw that too.  I think it was on my FB feed, so will be impossible to find again... but it was a positive sign, made me glad.

    Peeve - One of my dearest friends keeps trying to convince me that there is a giant conspiracy lead by George Soros that somehow makes Trump the good guy and everyone else is the bad guy and Fox News is the only news source that can be trusted.  It drives me crazy that I can't pierce through the brainwashing and I hate to argue politics anyway.  She keeps saying I don't think you respect me.  I love her and she's a good person but she's right, I think she is an idiot to believe what she believes.

    I waver back and forth.... sometimes I'm less tolerant than other times.  Sometimes I just ban signatures I get tired of. Other times I feel like the the queen from Alice. Off with their heads! It's the same with watching the news.  Sometimes I just don't want to see how bad things are, other times I overdose. Currently I have very few in the totally banned category. And I'm watching too much news.

    I disagree. I'm allowed. On both parts. Sorry, PC think is just as bad as Cheeto think in a lot of ways. My voice matters.

    ETA: I'm rather offended that again my intelligence is being questioned, and/or my intents, because I don't follow the allowed, accepted PC jargon and have to be educated by reading, yet another article, on how to speak "correctly." No.

    I don't think anyone here doubts your intelligence.  I don't doubt your intentions.  And nobody disputes the fact that all lives matter.  But right now, whats happening is the murder of a black man by a white cop who obviously doesn't think black lives matter. Negating the "black lives matter" by arguing semantics is sending a message (one that I don't believe you want to send) that this is not as important as it is.

    Yes, I thought about it but I wanted to make a black female avatar.  I can't find the skin company now...it's something like Nnovatine maybe.  It has mostly Black and Asian skins and/or all Black and Asian skins and starts with an N or a double N like this Nn.  I really wanted to do this but cannot find the skin store now.  

    I think it is important to do it in a non-aggressive way such as not screaming in each other faces in chats or anything like that.  

    I haven't seen a t-shirt yet.

    A report from the Police Chief is out that the four men will be held accountable.

    I *love* Los Gatos. I used to live very near there, fell in love with coffee at the Los Gatos Coffee Roasting Company, shopped Bare Minerals before it went national, etc. It dawned on me that proclaiming my love of Los Gatos, while true, is also kinda hilarious when in the guise of this avatar. :)

    I blame Los Gatos for having to leave Santa Cruz.  My ex got a job there and hated driving over the hill so he talked me into moving to Cupertino. no more random ocean views whenever we left the house :( and the air quality sucked. And it cost a million dollars to buy a shack there. So although Los Gatos itself was one of the nicer towns on that side of the hill,, my memories of it are bittersweet.
