  1. They may not be thinking they are seeking it but they are not there by mistake. They just need to be shown that it is the spiritual solution they seek, not the quickie they think they need. Well I'm going to continue on helping others learn how to sing mantras or meditate, and right-click eject -- someone else can save them. LOL Arielle, are you having fun yet?
  2. We can rely on past experience but at the same time start learning to respond to the situation, not react to the emotion that might have been triggered. Two different things. Arielle, past experience enables us to see repeating signs that something is likely to occur when we see said signs in action. This does not necessarily mean anyone was triggered -- rather it's a sign they have a brain. And even if they were 'triggered' it doesn't mean they should not pay attention to reality unfolding as they saw it unfold in the past.
  3. So you only accept healthy functional people on your sim? Not those who are broken and looking maybe to get a little more spiritual and as a result become a little more socially aware? Sex-pests with hardons are seeking spiritual knowledge? Who knew...
  4. So true! And women are trained to be kind and nurturing, and so less likely to go with this gut instinct that someone else might not be a good person to interact with. And they are also socialized to to make waves and stand up firmly for themselves. I psychologize away bad behavior all too easily, make excuses for it due to knowing the boundary pusher's inner struggles.
  5. Which decision...would like to know the History. Don't think I was a forumite then. I always liked her though, based on her contributions @ another forum. Pet peeve: I am lacking in historical knowledge.
  6. and it isn't the intention of people who drive drunk to kill people. So true, we can't excuse everything with "oh, but they didn't intend to do that". Some things, yes, but to use "intend" as a blanket reason to excuse all behavior -- just no!
  7. If one is experiencing a feeling of unpleasantness or unease because of someone else's approach, I would say that maybe that person should learn to handle such situations with peace and acceptance. There is no way such a person is going teach everyone else how to behave towards them in the manner they would like. This is the sort of thing I would expect to learn if on a spiritual sim that focuses on self actualization. Being subject to one's own unpleasant feelings is the opposite of being self actualized as one is then a victim of the thoughts and opinions of another. Totally disagree, Arielle. My unease is my warning that abuse or a boundary infraction is more likely to happen. It's self-protection, and has nothing to do with being self-actualized or not. People who are on a spiritual or self-actualization path do not become psychotic and see angels everywhere -- they accurately perceive the environment around them, and take appropriate action. Appropriate action for me is right-click, eject in many cases -- that way me or my group can continue on in peace.
  8. Fortunately we can play the Xbox games on a PC now....the app mentioned is on the PC (it's not referring to a physical Xbox). This was all news to me when I got my new PC and saw the free offer.
  9. What I find creepy is someone yesterday on this forum who said women who are bothered too much in SL must be asking for it somehow.
  10. So true. A guy complimented my looks yesterday and it was very welcome. I know him somewhat, and I'd just bought an outfit. Very different from these guys in 'boy next door' jeans from 2006 who approach me for the first time on a self-actualization/spiritual sim, looking for sex, saying "oh u r purty".
  11. Thanks...think I need to take advantage of this 'free for a year' game pass offer..hope it's not too late. Outside of some VR adventures the only games I've played were years ago...and only briefly (WOW, Everquest).
  12. Yeah check it out...I believe the ad said they teach all sorts of stuff. Also, interior design is a kind of building, and I don't believe I've ever seen such a class there so you might be very welcome with your knowledge in this field.
  13. Even if they are socially awkward or inept they need to learn how to behave so as not to bother others. I reserve the right to label them as creepy if they push on my boundaries in unwelcome ways by assuming everyone exists in SL to have sex with them and so approach others to further their mistaken goals. creep·y causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease.
  14. @karenx0 I just saw Builder's Brewery is looking for teachers. It's a big group, and they advertise -- might that be a goodplace to have your class?
  15. I'm creating an area for Whole Brain Health @ the Inspiration Bay sim, utilizing the fun underwater rides Eku Zhong created (of Culprit). [She has closed her inworld store]. She had a big closing sale and I nearly bought the place out. I believe her MP store is still open though.
  16. Great movie about all that in recent years, showing how easily people can be railroaded by vested interests (in this case, cops who jumped to wild conclusions when all too eager to solve a case).
  17. This is so funny, the peeve thread is a peeve. Super blue? I wish. Here it was pale yellow on a pale gray sky. It made me wonder why so many sims I visited lately have shades of gray in the sky. Maybe they're advertising the book. Pet Peeve: She died not long ago.
  18. It's been a bit of a wild day on this thread so we better be good and not talk about 1st life or something that's not a pet peeve. You could start a thread on these 2 topics though, related to these issues in 2nd life, and I'd likely participate there. Pet Peeve: I don't believe I've seen you start a thread yet.
  19. Welcome to the thread. So glad you entered in to tell us how stupid we are. HUGSSSSS Pet Peeve: people who do this.
  20. I blame all this today on the full moon...a special full moon..a super blue full moon. Yes, the peeve thread is a peeve today.
  21. Pet peeve: Black & white thinking You can stand by someone's right to consent to certain behaviors, but also view such behaviors as destructive and advocate against such behavior. Like with my friend I mentioned earlier, who believes it's okay to divorce sex from love...she was still my friend, but I disagree with her belief that it's not harmful to do what she advocated. I don't think she realized the ramifications of what she believed in.
  22. I think it's a good debate, and my Pet Peeve is that you might have given up on your side too soon. The question is...at what point should someone be expected to speak better English? You seemed upset that Seicher would require this in group announcements and note cards describing products in SL. Like you, I don't think that should be required excessively -- I'd accept a few mistakes. I do become annoyed when people start posting in a language I don't understand on the forum. If interested in the topic I go to my translator and don't confront, but feel that since they are entering a space where English is being spoken they should be the one to enter the discussion with translated words. For the sake of ease in communication.
