Must have this harp for my park...a hidden niche in the forest.
Creating a SL garden is a wonderful way to mitigate stress, btw:
I hope you are playing harp music in RL while you are doing this in SL 😁

I guess because in RL people have other options for dealing with stress, like having a drink, a joint, pop a pill, have a nap, watch some TV, go outside for some air, go to the fridge for some comfort food, any of a multitude of stress relievers that a RL person can benefit from that an avatar couldn't.
Yes but if Second Life is stressing you out, you can still go do all those things, just leave your avatar set to unavailable with a fun message saying Second Life has overwhelmed you (again) and you are afk destressing

Maybe LL should give the residents of the old Linden Homes an incentive to leave peacefully? First they would have to close the old homes from being available as new Linden Homes. Then they could offer a free month off the resident's Premium account if they leave by a specific time. After that time, they would just be evicted, with their objects returning to their Lost and Found folder. Give people plenty of warnings in their email and with inworld notices first, of course.
They should level the homes with no residents, then rezz a bulldozer pointed at the remaining occupied dwellings.
Its for a bypass, you have to have a bypass 😁

That's like saying those needing help, don't need it in virtual. Do we magically become gods in sl? Be a good marketing angle.
Become a god in Secondlife!
A lot of guys in sl think they are gods gift to women 😂

Spirituality is vital to me, and I spend hours each day attending to it. It's my main source of resiliency. Due to this insult I am blocking you.
someone told me in the forum the other day (probably someone that doesn’t like me) that naming a person you have blocked serves no useful purpose and just creates drama.
Its probably against the rules too 😂

We need more toilets in Second Life. Or all our shape "sliders" will get stuck on "thicc".
I just go behind the potted palm if the venue I’m at doesn’t have a bathroom.
But yes toilets in sl are few and far between

So you mean you do have a feeling self in RL where you connect in healthy ways with others, but in SL you've decided to detach from any real feelings of connection with others?
ahhh now it seems like you are trying to psychoanalize me, I’ll pass in that one

I think someone should start a thread about food in Second Life, how the food we eat in RL affects the food we like in SL. Do you eat different kinds in food in SL than you eat in RL? Do you eat food in RL that you can easily eat at your computer? Do you ever wear an avatar or outfit that depicts food in SL?
Any subject can be about SL if we torture it enough until we all want to scream.
dunno about anyone else, but i dont eat food in second life, but if i did, I wouldn’t eat anything in sl that i wouldn’t eat in rl.

I think it's healthy to minimize what we think of as 'emotional drama' (which means it's unnecessary). But to always have the feeling of "whatever" no matter the experience, indicates one is kind of pretending so as not to feel pain. I'm not judging anyone who goes through life like that, but you do miss out on a lot of the joy if you're numb.
I never said i was numb, I said i cant be bothered 😂

I'm sorry you encountered such a difficult experience.
However if I was numb in SL like that, without much feeling, it wouldn't have any purpose for me.
I have friends, I like to hang out, everything doesnt always have to be emotional drama.

In the past i was a lot more emotionally invested in second life, to the point it affected my rl moods. I remember quite well when one time, a friend reached out of the computer screen, ripped my heart out of my chest, threw it on the ground and stomped on it, I was devastated, but that was years ago.
Now, regardless of what happens, I’m like whatever.

The challenge with these threads is to keep them "on topic for Second Life".
Here's an example attempt:
In Second Life, one's resiliency is inversely proportional to the number of Alts they use.
In Second Life, one's resiliency is reflected in the number of people they block.
In Second Life, one's resiliency is not related to their behavior.
Resiliency is only related to Second Life if one is applying RL "pop psychology" to Second Life.
Second Life is only hard if someone chooses to make it hard

Oh no!!! That's terrible. I wish you could explore on my computer for a bit. SL is so amazing and beautiful. What a shame! Will you get a new computer soon?
People get a brand new computer, turn on all the options, and set everything to high, and go, well this sucks, my sl still runs like crap. Well duh.
If I got a new computer, all i’d set different is it set my max frame rate to 60.
I have set it to high just to see, but you know what? High or low, I still look amazing, and thats all that really matters 😂

I was new once, i think i might have seen sl featured on a tv show, so I tried to sign up. LL just laughed and said go away and try again when u get a better computer.
A couple of years later I got a new computer. When I signed up, LL said, wellll... you just barely meet our minimum requirements, your experience will probably suck, but we will let you sign up anyway.
Its funny, lag was never an issue way back when, I could be at a club with 50 other people, all rezzed because there wasn't an option not to rezz everyone..
My experience got worse and worse with more sl "improvements" until all I could do was stand on my platform. I finally got a newer computer, and all was good for a while, but again, as sl continued to improve my experience got worse and worse.
I run on low graphics settings, draw 32, no extra settings except transparent water, all avatars over 20 k jellied, and frame rate capped at 15. I do all right, but you never know which new "improvement" will sink my computer for good
So here I am 14 years later, still enjoying my crappy experience. 😂
p.s. unlike a lot of other I didn't join for the sex

Early in the 21st century, the Tyrell corporation advanced Robot evolution into the Nexus phase - a being virtually identical to a human - known as a Replicant.
The Nexus 6 replicants were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them.
Replicants were used off-world as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets.
After a bloody mutiny by a Nexus 6 combat team in an off-world colony, replicants were declared illegal on earth - under penalty of death.
Special police squads - Blade Runner Units - had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing replicant.
This was not called execution. It was called retirement.
Is it immoral for a replicant to kill a human?

I'm not mocking him, but seriously question the groundedness of those who fall in love easily with avatars in a virtual world.
How about smitten? I’m smitten a couple of times a month 😁

No he is not. He's only asking for a SL relationship councilor. Unfortunately, even this type of "professional" would be difficult to find in SL. He also isn't looking for a New Age "shaman" or intuitive counselor.
He should just ask us what he should do 😁

I see alot of jeans with big holes in their knees...and that annoys me too. You know what I do about that? I don't buy them. I buy some other jeans that fit my own aesthetic instead.
I wear jeans with holes in the knees, or various other worn areas, but they got there the old fashioned way, I refuse to buy new jeans that look like someone wore them for 10 years, yea i know distressed, but i prefer to distress them myself 😁
25 minutes ago, Luna Bliss said:I guess those could qualify, but lately I've been seeing a lot of jeans for sale with zippers half-way undone...and that annoys me because I liked the jeans and wanted to buy them!
Same with shorts, zipper all the way down, and the flaps open, like seriously?

OP, buy some nice clothes, preferrably a suit. Guys think its sexy to wear just a pair of jeans, and that all the girls will drool over their pecs, but i think, what, you couldn’t clean yourself up and dress up a bit?
Even worse is when they show up naked.
ZZ Top is right you know 😂

What denotes a failure for you in the social area?
And what would being socially successful look like for you?
typical noob guy standards:
failure: not getting any
success: getting lots
