  1. I agree, but that isn't their need (to actual not see another person's posts). The need is to have the other know in no uncertain terms, that they are shunning them. It should be named 'the shun button'. Pet Peeve: The indirect nature of hoomankind
  2. You know they say that there is no greater power than the power of goodbye. I guess blocking someone is that...taking all the power. Pet Peeve: why can't people get along? sigh
  3. YOU ARE ON IGNORE, THEY ARE ON IGNORE, EVERYBODY IS ON IGNORE~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pet Peeve: These announcements of people being put on ignore. Is this grade school? *don't answer that*
  4. What about in a forest where it just rained and there were puddles on the ground?
  5. I agree...I don't think they should be visible. I doubt this will ever change though. Just remember...it looks huge to you and is a statement that your relationship didn't work out, but likely nobody else will ever notice it. Most don't go looking for such things on other sims.
  6. The point he's making stands up, though. The stats are extremely interesting to consider. The old adage about a broken clock and all that. Regarding the video cited (and I'll get to how it applies to Gopi later)... We don't know if in fact there is less dating with young people today (from my view it just seems different, utilizing the internet more), but if there is less dating there's nothing factual backing up his claim that the reason is because people are confused about who makes the first move. It's likely a number of dynamics are in play if there is less dating, and confusion over making the first move could be one of them. (btw...I see stats asserting there is less marriage today, but not less dating). The problem we're seeing in society is because many men are accustomed to being in charge -- they were socialized to see this as 'manly', and having to let go of this power/being in control advantage is not easy for them. Conversely, it's much easier for many women to just relinquish power and let someone else make decisions, and they are still frequently socialized to prefer this. Where we see the problem is when either a man or a woman doesn't want to fit into these prescribed roles -- when they're trying to break out of them and base power/agency on authenticity instead of being crammed into a rigid box due to socialization. And many are breaking out of these roles. But even in olden days where it was more expected that men would make the first move, if he did so out of context he'd be seen as creepy and cause the woman to flee. There's a place and a time for everything, and this varies according to country and even regions within a country. Men without social skills and lacking in empathy (being unable to see situations from another's perspective and how the other person might feel when being approached for sex when at a meditation group or walking alone down a street, for example) are at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Gopi is wise having existed as a woman in 2nd life, paying attention and actually feeling how much more vulnerable he experienced the opposite gender. He developed some sensitivity to the other side, and even admitted to being creepy himself in earlier days when he didn't know better. He's a very strong man, unlike these men who blame women and fail to understand how their behavior might actually be experienced as creepy by another.
  7. We established long ago, after a lengthy debate, that Phil is from ArgueShire. And Phil laughed. Inula explained his behavior is common in whatever Shire it is he resides in.
  8. Pet Peeve: In 2nd life, and likely 1st life as well, some do not allow others to have personal boundaries, or insult them if they do. For example, condemnation over using security devices for privacy, or insistence on running into other avatars on purpose should they want personal space while at a shopping event.
  9. PET PEEVE: I lost the top to my coffee bean grinder and had to order another one. from Amazon. And my chocolate did not arrive today as scheduled!!
  10. I have reported this to LL on the phone hotline...
  11. Oh, I liked it. You were commenting on other types of drama from something you were reading/watching...as the forum reminded you of it. If you get into some communities here unbelievably strange dramas can happen that surpass the wildest of imaginations. Like the old saying goes.... "nobody could make this stuff up".
  12. Oh...well easy to believe Phil then (not that I doubted him actually)....those were crazy times...many were making that much and more. I was making $10,000 USD per month (note...USD). Was doing a lot of design work for others in addition to my store tho. I still have money socked away from those times. Pet Peeve: I want the gold rush days to return!
  13. I was tempted by a type with caramel...or one with more milk chocolate...but I'm being good this month and sticking to dark choc 85% Cacao with less carbs. It's the only dessert I get now
  14. biscuits are not cookies, that's all I'm sayin
  15. oOo thank you for the picture worth a thousand words. It's much more beautiful.
  16. I had a strange underwater experience a couple days ago. I'm making a near sim-sized underwater environment for a group, and this person swims up fairly close so I checked their profile. They stated they are herm ...not sure why they felt the need to describe their 1st life genitals, but anyway...they said they love the underwater and love to have sex underwater. Their 1st life pic is them in a scuba-diving outfit. I do meet some unusual people. I can't say that was creepy...just weird. I'll have to report them if they harass undersea visitors though, and it's not an A sim so they can't pursue their underwater dreams...
  17. Many place the shadows too close to the ground and so they flash when walking by....this really annoys me. I guess I've spent too much time trying to make a scene appear just right...and so notice every detail. Same with flashing prims that don't meet...totally jarring.
  18. This man, and I assume you as well since you're pointing him out as an example, has no concept of context. In other words, there are no absolutes for every situation...it will depend on many variables as to whether it's creepy or harassment.
  19. Hmmm...it appears that oversharing means sharing when you don't have a deep enough connection with someone. Pet Peeve: here I am reflecting on this when I should be responding to an email and working in Blender. "over-sharing reveal an inappropriate amount of detail about one's personal life. "he continues to overshare about his relationship with his wife" What is Oversharing? Oversharing is when you say more than is appropriate in a given situation or to a specific person. You can overshare in-person or via email, social media, or text message. Often, what you say becomes oversharing when you don't have a deep enough connection with someone".
  20. BTW, I updated my Firestorm and have not had any problems whatsoever. I was hesitant due to quite a few expressing about stuff that was messed up in the new update.
  21. Pet Peeve: someone messages me every day to tell me about their health problem, never talks about anything else, and I barely know them.
