    Btw, that story about the 2 wolves peeves me because it assumes that people have a "good side" and a "bad side", whereas people who have actually studied human psychology would understand that it's all just learned behavior and often survival behavior that people have learned in bad situations. I'd rather say that there is only one wolf, and it's fighting itself. Wolves also are not "good" or "bad". They're either more dominant or more submissive, either good at getting along with their fellow pack members or not good at getting along with them. The aggressive, short-tempered wolf is likely to get chased out of his pack eventually, even if he makes it to alpha status for a while, because the other wolves will only put up with his B.S. for so long before they turn on him.

    I might actually like that, except that I don't do virtual BDSM.

    She seems to like dogs, so she can't be all bad. 🐕🐕🐕

    One thing I'm still trying to learn is when and how to enforce my emotional boundaries with people. Having empathy and compassion for others doesn't mean I should neglect my own self-care or self-respect. This doesn't mean I want to be mean or rude to people, but it's too easy for me to sacrifice my own needs for what I percieve to be the needs of someone I care about. What does this have to do with Love in SL? I'd argue that empathy is the primary component of love, and without empathy, one cannot feel any kind of love for another person, be it erotic, platonic, familial, or spiritual.

    I think we need to all agree to disagree when discussions here turn to religion and spiritual beliefs and practices. I know better than to argue about other people's beliefs and holy books.

    See that red [A] in the Location? That means this is an Adult event in an Adult region. If you don't have Adult content selected in your settings, I don't think you'd even see this event listing. The F-word might not be allowed on the forums, but it is part of region names and descriptions inworld, and every other word there is allowed on the forums. This could certainly be posted in the Adult subforum.

    Yes. It's kind of like the GTFO game. People can buy the trash and recycle bins on Marketplace. ( They might be free or nearly free.) Then if people want to go around collecting the trash, there are pick up days and a chance of getting gifts in the trash as well. I thought it might be a good way of unloading excess no copy inventory items, but I didn't look into it deeply enough. * Something else I wish we had in Belli would be weekend yard sales, with just free stuff (since we can't sell things).

    Don't deactivate the account. I suspect you might get better customer support with a Premium account, but people here may be able to suggest some solutions first. How much inventory does this account have? A very large inventory might not load properly. Have you tried going to an empty region in the middle of the water and loading there? Do you use a Firestorm viewer, so you can ask for help in their inworld support group?

    First of all, if these lands are volcanic islands, there need to be more mountains and volcanos. Second, I prefer shorter, simpler names in general. Old Belli North - Includes Traditionals, Campwich Forest, Pickle, Cental Houseboats (aka Squishy Pickle) & some of SW Victoria Old Belli South - SW Victoria, SW Houseboats (aka Squishy Pickle South) Central Victoria - Merrymount & Victoria Island (aka Vic Island) Central Belli - NW Victoria, Logland, Stilt Islands, Ranchland, Mediterranean (aka Medi), North Coast Stilts, Belli Island, Welcome Island, & Sakura Fantasseria Eastern Belli - Newbrook, Chalet Land (aka Chalets), Houseboat Islands (aka NW Houseboats), & NE Coast Houseboats. Southern Belli - to be completed later (I'm hoping for a subcontinent with The Bayou (1024 m), Garden Distict (1024 m), & Gothica (2048 m Gothic mansions.) This area might also be said to include Fantasseria.

    I just don't respond. I don't feel the need to disable my inbox and have only rarely blocked anyone on the forums. Besides, if you totally block someone, you wouldn't be able to see when they apologize.

    I thought the horoscope stuff at the end was silly, but before that I thought it was a pretty good explanation.

    @Love Zhaoying I was referring to PMs for the forum. If someone wants to block those, that's their right. We are not obligated to continue an online conversation, unless perhaps it's with a moderator. If someone is being argumentative or rude toward me publically, I certainly don't feel obligated to continue such a conversation privately. At least in public one has witnesses to what is said.

    What do you think of these official names? I think most of them are too long. What's wrong with just Newbrook or Sakura?

    I thought it looked like a cognitive test question or "which of these things is not like the others?".

    I quite enjoy my $L 1 Infinity ♾️ Frieght Train, but maybe that doesn't count as a toy? How about a free skull-headed staff that shoots fire at people? 🔥 😁

    I have to assume you meant to say most of the free male heads are less than ideal, since Lelutka and the other major mesh heads fit fine with the major mesh bodies. Perhaps the problem isn't with the heads, but with the Legacy Classic (TMP) mesh body? One possible solution is to direct newbies who want a free or inexpensive mesh body and head to the Altamura free bodies or the almost free DNA male mesh bodies. I used to suggest Altamura, but after trying the DNA bodies on my male alt, I find these superior. Both bodies have the head included as part of the body. The DNA bodies are also BOM compatible, offer many choices for heads and skins, and fit Signature Gianni sized mesh clothing reasonably well with alpha layers.

    This conflict can also be remedied with a Personal Message. 😊

    If you PM someone they get a notice in their email, whether they're checking on the forums or not. This might not be a public apology, but it will get to the person personally.

    I don't think the flaw is with Second Life. I have no trouble making friends with newbies who need help navigating SL. I simply offer to help them, show them where to get stuff they need, and show them fun and interesting places in SL. Sometimes they then go on their way without me, which is fine. I don't feel the need to be with other people or constantly chat with others in SL. I'm more likely to get annoyed by those who constantly demand my attention. I think the problem is more likely how we each as individuals define friendship and what we expect of friends in SL, on social media, and in RL. Probably the real problem is with us and our society, that we may expect instant gratification and attention from other people to satisfy our own emotional needs, rather than looking at how we can listen to and help others.
