  1. You shouldn't have this concern, but the situation is what it is. Bigger solutions like hacking reduction/prevention will take time to implement. In the meantime, your habits are allowing people to steal real life money from the Lindens. Can you at least recognise that?
  2. Can you take a moment to listen to yourself there? You're claiming to know better than I do what I meant. Do you see the problem with that?
  3. In the bit you quoted from me: Money trail. Passing stolen money from account to account. They have to, legal requirements to prevent/reduce money laundering. The gacha scam is a way of breaking that trail. You're all being used to facilitate it. I'm talking about one aspect of this, not the whole picture. I'm not accusing or haranguing either. I brought up an overlooked aspect of the situation and have attempted to clarify readers' misunderstandings of it. And my word, you lot are quick to misunderstand it.
  4. Fairre, I think you've gotten so caught up in your lectures about the distinctions between species that you're sort of missing the point. You've made pretty specific statements about tinies being asexual and contradicted someone pointing out that this wasn't a universal. Now you're framing it as attempts because of needing special animations. Truth is, it doesn't matter if they're not rigged to get jiggy - animations are only one way of going about it It's grand you don't have experience with that. But trust those who do when we say that visual depictions are an option not a requirement. Words can be very powerful indeed.
  5. If expensive gachas weren't on offer on MP, then this vector would no longer be available for the thieves. Passing stolen money from account to account leaves a trail LL can follow. With money laundering being a RL concern, they have to have robust, legally required procedures to watch out for it. Whether you intend to or not, by listing expensive gachas all of you are providing a way for the thieves to get around these stop guards. I asked questions. I think who is losing out through this is an important aspect to consider for both practical and ethical reasons. It's your choice whether you do or not.
  6. I just see the scorn laugh as them getting their own flavour of entertainment out of it . Some laugh at jokes, some laugh scornfully. It's theirs, not mine. For all they might want to make me feel bad, life's too short to give distant people on the internet that sort of power over my emotions. 🎶 too ra loo roll too ra loo roll yay
  7. So you'll stop saying that it's impossible for Tinies to engage in sexual activity then? Really hard to tell from your reverie.
  8. Maybe the creator would make a custom version for you? It shouldn't be difficult technically. Worth asking IMO.
  9. Is this being taken into consideration at all by those who are continuing to list items for the hackers to steal?
  10. Tinies have been (used to be at least) one of the most creative and imaginative communities in SL. And anything is possible with imagination. If Tinies fell in love and wanted to, they could.
  11. Do you know about Builders Brewery yet? They have classes and lots of freebies for building. Helping Haven is good too. My favourite stores for textures are Timeless Textures, USC, and Texture Me True. They all have good groups and great owners.
  12. If you're new and have gotten used to appearance-related HUDs and appliers then it's only natural to use those as your model when trying to figure out a texture organiser. Chances are a free texture organiser on MP predates clothing HUDS and skin appliers too, and its instructions may reflect an older set of habits and knowledge. Welcome to Second Life. It's confusing but worth the effort. Glad you're building too, it's magic
  13. Is LL able to recover the money they're refunding all of you somehow? Or is it just coming out of their pockets now?
  14. Give us yours then. My usage is probably broader than you realise.
  15. .... like I really don't belong here any more. The exuberant ramshackle creativity that was once our world has been driven into hidden corners, I'm not motivated by the overwhelming push towards a fantasy "realism", and my stamina is too poor to finish building projects. Maybe it's time.
  16. Underground raves were 80s and 90s, with ties to the psychedelic and disco cultures of the 60s and 70s, and further back to 50s-60s youth culture and 50s modern jazz. I think the U.S. underground scene was centered around a few locales. The U.K. being so much smaller, it was easier to get to one if you wanted to go, or know someone who did, or to just have heard about it. The big mass raves of the 2000's drew both X and millenials. Fatboy Slim is technically baby boom, born on the cusp of X. Aphex Twin is definitely X. (sorry for geeking out. i just get a bit over excited about influence and continuity in art and culture)
  17. Most will of course, but anyone who can switch from "they're paying attention to me, I win" to "they're ignoring me/banned me, I win" is fooling themselves first of all. Sparking conversation amongst people who come to social media to socialise isn't a skilled feat of social engineering. It's just putting yourself in a position to claim credit for something people are going to do anyway.
  18. The forum's ability to talk about ANYTHING is impressive. Trolls really shouldn't take credit when they gift us with new opportunities Reverse image search showed this pic in lots of places but the names weren't suggestive of anything and I couldn't muster the interest to investigate further. My guess is it was posted by a bot. Why though?
  19. Trying to deal with bridging the divide?? We're talking about buying a CD player instead of a tape player when it broke and using a word processor instead of a typewriter, and then a pretty basic computer. Parents were just parents, some embraced tech more quickly than others but it wasn't a big deal, just a bit more of a learning curve. Mostly it all just sort of happened and incremently. Probably the hardest bit was learning how to program the blasted VCR
  20. Xers don't do cool. We're the ones bouncing around singing Covid Eileen.
  21. This is me as well. The minimum is just the easiest to slide it down to. I've gotten that message too when my complexity is low but over 20k and I just laugh and know there's a kindred spirit on the region. Avatars do more than anything else to get my computer fan spinning hard. My current neurological problems are such that this affects me badly and I need to shut down sooner. So apologies if I'm annoying anyone by triggering that message but I really do need to take care of myself and this is the best way for now.
  22. When I see poor reviews on MP, I ALWAYS look to see how the creator responded in the comments. Not everyone does this of course, but it can be a way to show good customer service on your part and that counts for a lot with some of us.
