    Are you saying all creations from templates or full-perm mesh created by others is tacky and should not be at shopping events, or are you saying that the particular template creations you saw at the LL shop n hop were especially tacky because they didn't put much effort into making it original in any way? I don't want to dis those who don't do original mesh, as they are also being creative and are given the opportunity to participate in the economy too. We have a large population creating from templates and full-perm mesh -- LL is wise not to exclude them from their birthday event. I'd agree with you that some of those not creating from others templates and meshes sometimes don't put enough effort into making something noteworthy, but I've seen some that is quite good. But I'd also say that some of the original mesh is not so creative and not optimized well.

    What event is this?

    Who does? Well if that's true I'm planning to be peeved about it. So this is a possible pre-peeve.

    Seems common enough from what I see with more and more friends wearing eyeglasses and expressing problems with fine print. Then too quite a few won't admit it but can see them squint at signage and in lower light conditions. Only a couple friends I know who work out regularly in their retirement, seem to not have eye related problems. Strangely, for me, the older I get the brighter everything seems to be (on screen and in RL) and I'm always trying to shut the brightness down. For sure a PET PEEVE of mine, as I like the sunlight.

    This might be an interesting article to you then, and even includes the dogs you love: https://indi.ca/the-meaning-of-life-in-a-dogs-death/ What I found interesting was considering that oxygen, an element we desire and consider so pure and clean, is actually the waste products of plants. The interconnectedness of life truly astounds!

    Has that been found to be true for all aging eyes...or do some escape the ravages of aging?

    Is that a particular sim?

    I use Shared Environment when the creator of that environment is including specific settings as part of their creation -- not to use it in some cases would be like viewing a 1st life painting and changing the colors on it or altering it in ways the creator did not intend. Often Shared Environment will actually change the colors or mood of a sim, so if the creator intended that I'll participate. Otherwise, just shopping or visiting parcels, no....I use noon settings.

    Pet Peeve: It's 9am and I'm just not waking up today! And I have something important to work on in Blender. Maybe some Kefir, and then a little Kombucha, will help.

    In Fruit Flies, Homosexuality Is Biological But Not Hard-wired, Study Shows Date: December 10, 2007 Source: University of Illinois at Chicago Summary: Neurobiologists have discovered that homosexuality in fruit flies is controlled by a novel regulator of synapse strength. By harnessing this discovery, the researchers are able to use either genetics or drugs to turn fly homosexual behavior on and off within hours. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/071210094541.htm

    Deprived of Sex, Jilted Flies Drink More Alcohol UCSF Research Identifies Neuropeptide F as the Molecular Trigger that Connects Sexual Rejection to Excessive Drinking https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2012/03/98555/deprived-sex-jilted-flies-drink-more-alcohol

    I read it correctly, and that IS the current state of "discussion" in today's world. What you want under the guise of"discusion" is to enlighten those of us that are not as woke as you are, to make us see the error of our ways, and repent the darkness that envelopes us, and step into the light of whatever you are selling this week. Left is right, and right is wrong. That about sums it up doesn't it? I don't recall anyone trying to debate/discuss politics on this thread, although politics is one area people do debate in 1st life (we can't do so here anymore). What I've seen being debated on this thread is: ~ Should Gopi put his actual gender in his profile as he presents the opposite gender inworld? ~ Where would it be safest for Gopi to visit (either disclosing or not disclosing his actual gender)? ~ One of my topics I was attempting to debate is "what IS intimacy exactly and what are the possibilities for it in a virtual world"? ~ Should we make a distinction between males & females according to a topic we'd wish to discuss? ~ How much homophobia and transphobia exists in 2nd life? ~ Is 2nd life a total fantasy world or is it one where we can be 'real' (or can it be both)? ~ What does 'truth' mean? Is it absolute or ephemeral? ~ and much much more....like...how similar are we to a fruit fly? lol Through our examination here everybody is free to determine their own truth about all these matters, regarding how they believe they should currently guide their 2nd life lives, or how they think others should be doing so. Gopi is free to consider all of it or none of it as he makes his decision.

    Can you list more regions/meetings dealing with 1st life? I pretty much stay within Whole Brain Health activities and various regions/meetings that deal with meditation and the like. I know there's a lot of art & photography groups/events and places to learn various activities in both 1st and 2nd lives (Rockcliffe University is adjacent to the Whole Brain Health sims, and Builder's Brewery has lots of classes). Anyway, @Daphne Dench, at these types of places you'll meet people who experience 2nd life in a less fantasy-type way.

    I get the impression you have been severely hurt by people you believe were playing with your feelings. I suggest coming to Empowering Relationships, a group meeting @ Whole Brain Health every Wednesday @ 10am, led by a 1st life counselor, where we discuss these issues. Lots of people are there discussing all types of relationships within 2nd life...how they were hurt, and/or how to have more fulfilling experiences. Ping me inworld and I'll send a LM.

    When dealing with expectations (whether 2nd life is or should be real life vs fantasy life), context is everything. Context in this case meaning the places within 2nd life you are visiting, and the people you are interacting with. There is no one solution that is right for everyone, and at every place. Personally, I go back and forth between places where fantasy is more the norm and places where 1st life is more the norm. For example, perhaps you would be more comfortable within areas of 2nd life where more 1st life is expected, like Whole Brain Health (based from the Ageless Mind Project) where many events take place to keep our brains healthy into old age. There are games, music events, classes, and previously a project to teach people from a couple other countries how to navigate virtual worlds. https://www.agelessmindproject.org/ https://www.virtualwholebrainhealth.org/calwbh/ At Whole Brain Health there is a meeting twice a month named Death Cafe, where we discuss death. You can come as any little creature/avatar you wish, but it is expected that you'll be discussing 1st life feelings about death. Many have lost spouses or siblings in 1st life, for example, and appreciate having a supportive space to discuss this. So you see in this example a kind of mixed fantasy/reality -- an animal avatar, but 1st life feelings are expected. However it's not required to share any 1st life info someone doesn't want to disclose (age, 1st life location, gender, etc.). So all this is to say that it doesn't have to be all one way or the other (all 1st life vs all fantasy). It's about preferences, and negotiating with the person you're relating to and learning the expectations of the space you are encountering... when necessary. This can only be discovered on a case-by-case basis, as it's a fluid process with no set boundaries in most cases. Again, there is no absolute truth for every person, and Gopi is deciding his own truth in this thread as he ponders the feedback he's receiving.

    It's a shame the world no longer operates like the way you describe. Person A: This is true Person B: No, This is true. Person A: You are an evil racist transphobic homophobic bigot, you need to be cancelled. 😂 What I quoted means the exact opposite of how you're interpreting it. Please read it again.
