    Yeah, and the rain wins if we use an umbrella!
  2. Paul Hexem
    Some of us are different alright.
  3. Paul Hexem
    Irony, well met! Besides, I understand it perfectly. I do it too, but way more obviously.
  4. Paul Hexem
    Further evidence that threads like these are made just to rile the forums up, like I was saying.

    We're getting way off topic with this one and it has nothing to do with SL, so I suggest posting it or sending it elsewhere, but I'd love to see some peer reviewed studies or findings on matriarchy ever functioning or even existing long term or large scale in human history.
  7. Paul Hexem
    Wat.
  8. Paul Hexem
    Yes, they do. Statistically, anyway. This extends beyond just SL- you're expecting the world to change and the entire dynamic of interpersonal relationships to operate differently. Which to be fair is an admirable goal... Unfortunately, according to just about every study out there, most women don't want it to change. Which means it won't. Men will continue to have to be the ones to approach, including the men that are bad at it.

    Of all the people posting in this thread, that's the one that strikes you as being upset by it?

    Peeve: Hypocrites that hypocrite while also breaking rules.

    I watched a thing recently about Daryl Davis. I didn't do any deep dives into it, but the premise it showed off was really impressive.
  12. Paul Hexem
    YES BUT... SL also has the little X up at the top right we can use to escape RLV or getting caught AFK, too.
  13. Paul Hexem
    Yeah, but at least in SL I can instantly teleport to a different location that doesn't have the same barriers and issues.

    As short term solution, letting landlords sort it out sounds good. But now they have to hire people to spend time doing that, and land costs just went up 8,000%. Plus the moment one of them does the thing they're supposed to mediate, it's back on LL again.
  15. Paul Hexem
    Sure, LL could start trying to enforce discrimination claims like the legal system does, too. They'll be bankrupt in about 7 seconds. Those claims last years and cost millions to sort out.
  16. Paul Hexem
    I'm not sure how LL could do that better without getting into this territory where I can grief you and then say "I'm PoC, you can't ban me". It's an extremely fine line they have to walk.

    But not entirely without merit, apparently. I can't help it, you lobbed me that one.
  18. Paul Hexem
    If that's what they're experiencing, sure.
  19. Paul Hexem
    Do you really think someone experiencing a common and mostly harmless phenomenon suffers from having a defective brain?
  20. Paul Hexem
    I live in a country that defeated them in a war so that I don't have to care what they think!

    If I say that 20 pounds is lighter than 60 pounds, I'm not saying 20 pounds is weightless. It just means I can do math better than most activists. Considering SL is an online game, the trends of the overall industry do have an effect here, reduced as it may be.
  22. Paul Hexem
    Not with that attitude.

    You know, that really only stops it from being a totally offline game- doesn't really stop it from being a singleplayer game. Just means downloading screens where normal games would have loading screens.
  24. Paul Hexem
    I'm not sure that's true. The most successful battles for change have always been the ones that wanted equality or fair conditions- said balance. Things being skewed to one side is exactly what we don't want and makes the pushback that much more forceful. Back to the pendulum- the easiest spot to get to is right in the balanced center.
  25. Paul Hexem
    The long view is even worse than the short view. Too much yanking to the sides instead of gentle balance is gonna break the whole pendulum.
