    Protests in my country are illegal, unless we first have permission from the police, even if it's just one person silently holding a sign in public view. This policy is overwhelmingly supported by the locals. Instead, when we have issues (and we are champion complainers!), we talk directly to our MPs, and they do their very best to help. We must however, always remember we can't always have exactly what we want - we have to consider how our wants impact others, and the country as a whole. Of course that isn't always easy when you really want something. We know from bitter experience how protests can lead to chaos, and chaos gets people hurt, so our "consensus not conflict" approach is how we choose to settle differences instead. I'm not criticising the social norms of other countries, just sharing another way of looking at sacrificing one's own needs for others. I'll tack on a peeve I have observed: social media influencing young people to think that protesting is ok as a first resort. Here, at any rate, that will just get you into trouble!

    I thought the intent is to highlight relevant inworld places, groups and events?

    suddenly I have a desire to de-render my own clothes and go for a stroll 😃

    My condolences. Hopefully these community pages will give the next generation of newbies a more positive start.

    One of the first communities I stumbled upon in SL was the Japanese community. Fantastic builds, costumes, and events. I learned such a lot despite some language struggles - we had a lot of laughs over our quirky grammar and vocab, in some cases communicating simply with gestures, building things and giving each other gifts. I hope they do some country-based featured communities in future, and include non-English speakers.

    wear a titler that reads: For optimal viewing experience, kindly do not de-render my dress. it will likely not stop the upskirters though... I admit I can't resist either whenever I see a kilt

    Not sure if we're considered loyal customers or guests who won't leave 🤔 😏

    I think the last time I AR'd anyone was some years ago, for sandbox griefing in bug island. It was bug island after all, I must have been especially annoyed as usually I'd just come back later. For forums, I haven't reported anything since 2020 I think - that was a grouchy year. It's much easier just to put the annoyances on ignore or simply not read them. “It doesn’t matter what people call you unless they call you pigeon pie and eat you up.”

    hold my beer... pineapple, banana, tofu, sambal (shrimp paste), pork floss, squid rings, mayonnaise, chili peppers, bbq pork, curry chicken, beef rendang, cheese sausages, smoked duck, tom yum, chocolate, apples. If it will stay on the pizza, we'll put it there!

    not just America - data privacy matters were put in the spotlight due to the EU GDPR and suddenly we all had to put cookie disclaimers (much good they do hehe) domestic American laws and social issues are not necessarily that relevant to other countries though

    I've occasionally participated in some discussions and gave my perspective as a non-American. Most forum commenters were polite, some curious, only one or two were dismissive/rude, but that's just personalities not nationalities. So, if you want to raise a topic from another country point of view, and it's within the forum rules, why not? I'm always curious to read about other cultures' ways of doing things. 😊

    That is one of my objectives

    well, blockchain technology is also being used in logistics, eg Maersk/IBM TradeLens. Just that isn't nearly as exciting and newsworthy as bitcoin.

    Nope but I heard of the Thai Amazing Durian metaverse. And I once downloaded Mir4 thinking it was actually a game. So many crypto scams metaverses to choose from!

    I've seen a lotta weird body fads in SL, but this one... completely baffles me might be funny if the texture were of a measuring tape...

    is this a thread for pet peeves or peeves about pets? 🤔

    Ah yes, the Hi spammers... I had one guy flatly admit this, when I got round to replying to his Hi (I always do reply eventually, if only with a Yo) he said "NVM I already found someone else" 😆 Good intention or not, these sorts have spoiled the market for a simple Hi approach.

    I second this... let both skin/clothing makers and users fiddle with it. An easy to use out of the box body will be such a boon for new user experience, and for oldies who are tired of complicated huds 😛
