    Fixed it for you. 😁

    True. Warning: Be careful who you name, and no shaming allowed!

    Just for fun, imagine one forum member were actually the alt of another. Example: What if Zalificent were the alt of Luna?

    I think finding shoes that fit with a male avatar's pants is about as hard as getting a top and pants to fit right together for a female avatar. At least female jeans sometimes have boot fit that can go inside of boots and leggings can usually fit inside of a short boot. Once we try to fit pants with a taller boot, all bets are off though, unless the pieces are made to be part of the same outfit.

    In my type of workplace there are a few ways of addressing a problem, especially safety and compliance issues. 1. Telling employees to be more careful and to follow the rules. This is not very effective. 2. Firing the person who didn't follow the rules or who made a mistake. This is also not very effective, because others could do the same thing. 3. Making new, stricter rules. This is also not very effective, largely because people will circumvent rules if they seem to waste time, be inconvenient or to be stupid. 4. Putting in cameras to scare employees into thinking they're constantly being watched. This is fairly effective, but wouldn't work well in SL. 5. Putting in safety guards such as plastic shields. This is fairly effective, but can sometimes be circumvented. Being able to restrict who can come into a parcel or region is sort of like putting up anti-idiot safety guards. 6. Re-engineering a machine or restructuring a procedure so the potential problem no longer exists. This is the most effective way of solving a problem, especially if it's a recurrent one. If 0 second security devices teleporting avatars home were viewed by LL as a big enough problem, they could remove the ability for this to happen. There would be no need to report 0 second security orbs in Bellisseria and no employees would need to respond to such complaints, because the problem wouldn't exist. If newbie griefers are a problem in some regions, region owners can age-restrict who comes into their region. If the creation and selling of micro-parcels were viewed as a problem, LL could make it impossible to sell parcels under a certain size. If people complain about ugly or view-restricting objects, give them the ability to derender those objects.

    Not evil. Just broken and not a good parent.

    I have trouble sewing a button back. I can mend small tears and hems, but it doesn't always look great. My Mom taught me next to nothing about cooking, house-keeping or how to take care of myself as an adult. My Dad taught me how to hit a baseball, ride a bike, drive a car, and balance a checkbook. Girl Scouts taught me to cook, sew a little, and first aid. My Mom taught me to have a sense of humor, how to recognize a narcissist, and to hide my emotions from people who could hurt me.
  9. Persephone Emerald
    Maybe Orwar's father taught him to cook and clean for himself?

    Most of the time washing pots, pans and dishes right away is preferable, imo, because dried food is harder to get off and a sink full of wet or soaking dishes breeds bacteria. There are times though, when one has to rush off, they're too tired to do dishes, or food on cooking containers has to soak before it can all be scrubbed off. Roasting pans are the worst.
  11. Persephone Emerald
    Nope. As long as your name tag is visible and it doesn't look like it's for a Linden or Mole, you are following the rules.

    Peeve: If we don't call someone out for bad behavior, rude or insensitive comments, others will think these behaviors or comments are ok. Modeling and molding good behavior is not just necessary for children.

    Perhaps you don't understand because his lived experience is not the same as your lived experience. Some people prefer to express themselves in SL more or less like they look in RL. Others prefer to express themselves in a different or idealized way in SL. I think most of us fall somewhere in between or change our SL appearance depending on our mood. We may choose to look younger and thinner in SL. We might choose to have bigger breasts, to be taller, to not display our RL race or gender, to dress more provocatively, or to not display a RL disability. You can't know the motivations for another user choosing their avatar(s) unless you know them personally and they tell you this. To assume that a person displays a disability in SL in order to get sympathy is very presumptuous and ableist.

    I like Bellisseria in general, but most of the objects have lower land impact versions that have been made by user-creators. I wish there were RP shopping areas in Belli, but I think Mainland 2.0 should allow users to choose their own buildings and landscaping.
  15. Persephone Emerald
    Yes. This along with the popularity of Bellisseria shows that there would be a demand for a more controlled kind of Mainland 2.0. When users were making money by renting homes and parcels on private estates and mainland, LL created Linden Homes and directed that money into its own coffers. Private estates are now more popular for commercial property than mainland is, so why wouldn't LL emulate them for a better controled mixed use mainland as well? I'm not saying they should try to kill off the private estate market, because they obviously make money from this. I'm just saying they could create public space land that would be more appealing to newbies than the current Mainland mess must be.

    In Firestorm you can derender the lamp. Derendering an object also removes it as a light source, its particles and sounds.
  17. Persephone Emerald
    Wow. 😳 I can't imagine a more disrepectful description of someone with a disability, unless it were acting out mocking them.
  18. Persephone Emerald
    Really? Do you wear bunny ears and a tail in RL?
  19. Persephone Emerald
    Before Belli and the old Linden Homes regions this was common. How else could one own land? One of my friends owned a mall area on mainland, then later gave it to a group we were part of. I owned land, first with my boyfriend and then with my landlady, and rented out parcels to other people. Maybe you didn't know people who owned mainland, but if your friends ever had a home or shop on mainland, their landlords owned mainland.

    I bought a set of pens and notebooks in SL, but never used them. 😔
  21. Persephone Emerald
    I made magical bath bombs that release colored particles and describe their scent in local chat. I don't think I sold any, but I still think they're cool.

    Or a solitary coffee shop with occational live music and poetry readings.
  23. Persephone Emerald
    I can envision a RP sim that mixes Lemony Snicket with Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

    I agree that many people are dissatisfied with mainland. Many were moving to residential estates and private islands for their stores long before Bellisseria was created. LL saw this and created Belli to help new user retention. Maybe they didn't expect older users to prefer Belli to mainland, but many did. Belli didn't create the problem of mainland attrition though. Mainland attrition has been going on for years and is still continuing. LL would probably love for more people to buy and pay recurring tier payments for land that is now empty. But how can they encourage this without chasing away those who still enjoy mainland? People who want more privacy might want to migrate to private estates if mainland were more popular, but if they did, LL would still get their money. It would just go through the hands of estate owners first. The only ways SL loses money is when newbies don't stay or oldbies leave. They can't stop oldbies attrition from natural causes, so they have to encourage newbie retention. Maybe they should have a comment box at the Welcome Hub that only works for users under 30 days old? They could even pay those newbies $L 10 for the first time they drop in a notecard.

    "Why do people in X group have to bring their X group issues into SL?" Maybe because we all bring our issues into SL?
