What Is Love In This Virtual World?
Persephone Emerald replied to Luna Bliss's topic in General Discussion Forum
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. -
Complaint about porn listed in events

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.

Complaint about porn listed in events
Persephone Emerald replied to StorkNotice's topic in General Discussion Forum
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. -
Official Bellisseria Subcontenent Names
Persephone Emerald replied to Persephone Emerald's topic in Linden Homes
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). -
Inventory won't load contact support
Persephone Emerald replied to Zilya Kayo's question in Inventory
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? -
Official Bellisseria Subcontenent Names
Persephone Emerald replied to Persephone Emerald's topic in Linden Homes
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?

What is your favorite non-human avatar?

I thought it looked like a cognitive test question or "which of these things is not like the others?". -
What's your favorite toy in SL?
Persephone Emerald replied to Charlemagne Allen's topic in General Discussion Forum
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.

What are you listening to?

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.

Peeve: I got a month free of an app called ClassPass that lets you go to various gyms and excersise classes. Last weekend I really enjoyed going to this one gym and walking on the treadmill for an hour. Today I wanted to go back and use their jacuzzi too. I didn't reserve a time last week for this weekend, and when I tried to reserve a time this morning, absolutely nothing was available for over a week. I know they have space at an open gym, so this is some kind of B.S. to try to get me to either pay $ 20 to $ 60 / month for the app or to pay for a gym membership.
