  1. Also, and not sure if it has been mentioned... Lighting is very important.
  2. I wish I had time to read just 1 book a day. I recently read The Iron Axe by Steven Harper . Was a good read.... Would love to see a movie/series about it.
  3. As it happens I signed onto my favorite browser, and I am sure what I do and say online is always tracked because this came up, or it was just completely random because more people are using the derogatory term. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-karen-karens-explain?utm_source=pocket-newtab
  4. Get her some SIMS games. Those are fun and most are fine for children. I think....
  5. I really wish Warren would have gotten the nomination rather than Biden.. I do not think Biden will win against Frump. We really need added we really need someone committed to change and not someone who will invoke old policies that did not work.
  6. Is that what it means? Hm. I shared a cute little post about a cat wearing some clothes and it said something like, I am going to piss in your hat Karen. So, now I am like what the hell did I share!!! ??
  7. As I said, my apologies. That particular police policy just pisses me off. I understand Floyd and that cop had a history and there is a whole conspiracy theory involved (or truth) that he was killed to be hushed.
  8. I am sorry, I must have missed your mentioning her, She died at the hand of police in a raid on her home, when they came in unannounced and her boyfriend was defending their home. This is an example of having to do some reforming and policy changes, it is very much like Floyd, except we did not see her die. If you mentioned her earlier then I am sorry I missed it. That was not meant to start anything, only get her name out there to. I am sorry you became defensive it, I suppose the couple of forum users targeting me have got people thinking everything I say is meant to be taken in the worst possible way.
  9. That actual practice was actually not supposed to be used. I understand many police departments are looking over policies because of not only his but also the young lady no one here is speaking out of that lost her life in a police raid. Defunding the police department will result in less police force will have a huge effect on the country... That is not the answer at all. But there needs to be more funding in fact for screening and education.
  10. There is a pandemic in the world, more so in the USA. We have the highest amount of cases in the world of covid-19. I can not open the water park at my resort where I work because of CDC guidelines, people lost their jobs, businesses caved, people are loosing their homes. This company I work for is loosing money, I am loosing hours and money. I am not sure how I will pay my bills until we open up completely. and now... we will have to start over again. There is no logical outcome but that more people will die. PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS HAVE DIED FROM IT. We are shut down to help prevent the spread of this modern day plague but apparently it is ok to mass gather in the street in protests and share a megaphone among hundreds of people, while rouge rioters are breaking into high end stores and stealing. Floyd's killer is in jail and so are his co-killers. Justice is being served. There is a underlying history that is deeper than we are told. You are being manipulated to incite a civil war and people are to stupid to see it. All the killers of thee young men are in jail, justice is being served. What more do you want? A public lynching? I am called a privileged white racist when I say all lives matter. When I say cops are being killed everyday, black and white, by the criminals. Everyday they go to work they never know if that is the call that ends their life. I am called racist white privileged because I say not all cops are bad. I am attacked on twitter because I told a young black woman after she complained that she learned early all white people hated her.. That I did not hate her.... her reply "Your white privileged ass will never understand and I do not need anymore white friends.." I agree that yes, there has been a tainted history in America but slavery has been abolished for years, and segregation was demolished in the 60s and EVERYONE has the opportunity to pull them selves up from where they came from and better themselves. I also know that life is about choices and all it takes is one bad choice, on either side, and your life will be changed forever. Teaching your children to respect authority will go a long way in their happiness for a life. ANY COLOR. There is a fundamental lack of respect and general ignorance that they are owed something by some youth today. (all races) There is no listening, there is only blaming. There is no compassion for one another because everyone is blaming everyone else. (I have seen rare exceptions) But most of the news is hate filled. So much so I do not even watch tv anymore. So to answer the question, which I have been avoiding but wish to speak out about.. No, I will not support black lives matter in SL. I support all people NO MATTER COLOR and I support police reform. Yes, there is a problem and it will not be easy to solve. Marching in the street is not going to change anything right now. Except get everyone sick and probably will kill a few people (or hundred thousand). Then where is their justice the people these protesters/rioters/looters/onlookers/mediapersonel bring covid-19 back to? It is a fact that the virus is spreading in the black population more so than any other. This is an amazing virus, it stops and will not spread so the protesters can gather in masses. . peace out. "Until a few weeks ago, racial data for COVID-19 was sparse. It's still incomplete, but now 48 states plus Washington D.C., report at least some data; in total, race or ethnicity is known for around half of all cases and 90% of deaths. And though gaps remain, the pattern is clear: Communities of color are being hit disproportionately hard by COVID-19." https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/05/30/865413079/what-do-coronavirus-racial-disparities-look-like-state-by-state
  11. It is a shame, I remember back in the day there was one that was all teepees and there was a store that had nothing but NA items. But, yes long gone I fear. I have an avatar I fashioned for my 6xggmother who was Mohawk. Not really role playing her but she is dressed as I would imagine my grandmother was when she was alive. I have yet to find a region where there was harmony and a historical representation of her people. It's all fighting and cowboys vs Indians themes. shrug.....
  12. Just go through them, the newer ones are super cute and have some cool accessories
  13. As a responsible adult, I use my ignore feature. Up until lately I have never had anyone on ignore.
  14. There are a bunch of mesh avatars in your inventory library. You could use those as a starting point to see what all the fuss is about. There are some pretty cute ones!
  15. The 100 is back on The CW you know I am excited and watching lol
  16. I believe this has always been a problem. When I had my store, I remember putting my store's name in and I was on page 3 or so.... A direct name should be the only result... I really do not understand the coding and had stopped paying, where I still came in on page 3 of a direct name search. ; (
  17. The ignore feature, if that has not been mentioned. I seem to be using it a lot lately!
  18. This is an example of a pet peeve. For instance... Using my name in a slander campaign.
  19. I am grateful my dog helps me up when I can not get up off the floor.
  20. You probably should just delete all your landmarks, that is a long time to be away from SL. Things have changed a lot businesses moved or closed. What are you interests? Music, Building, Modeling, art or Just socializing?
  21. Sometimes you have to let friendships grow rather than force them upon introduction.
