    I have to ask this.. hehehe

    Have you ever messed with people and embraced the stereotypes put on you? I only did it to people I know.. Well ,most of the time anyways..Sometimes it was just to make someone feel like an idiot when they deserve it..

    With my friends it would be stuff like, we're in my house and they would be checking something out and I'd say with urgency, Omg that's sacred!

    Most times they'd jump out of their skin with eyes bulging out..

    Omg that's my Grandfathers sacred chair!

    hehehe

     

    My Father is really bad.. He gets really old school.. If someone asks him if he is Native American, Which he doesn't like being called..

    He does this thing with his eyes where he kind of squints and looks off in the distance, with the most serious face, then his voice gets deep.. No.........I am not....Native American..

    Then he'll jump right back to normal and say I'm, Chiricahua Apache or Nde..

    He's really good at it.. hehehehe

    I plead the 5th.

    Your dad is my kinda guy. lol

    Sometimes I just have to do it to people I don't know because they are acting like idiots. And ffs stop grabbing my braids! Especially if I am in full regalia!

    the one on the left. with the windows open, the camera's do work just everyone is told they dont. the mic's on the camera'a are good enough to hear through your open window and even through your walls.

    :P

    I know its all good..

    lol The one on the left. Which one of the 165 that are on the left? From which entrance? There are 4 entrances to the park. There aren't any mics on the park cams. They aren't even running the cams because the system is so out of date it's unusable. lol

    I is spying on you through your walls with infrared and x-rays.. I is listening in on you using special microphones or the microphone on your computer or smartphone. I is stalking you with hidden cameras around your neighborhood ..  is is watching you through your webcam or the camera on your phone. i is the the eyes that see and the ears that hear. :P

    Which home is mine? There are 329 mobile homes in the park with 16 more being added, mostly non-white occupants. No mic on pc, no smartphone. Those cams belong to the park and are not hidden, if they even work. Again, no cam on pc and no cell phone.

    uh oh. Did I just yank the rug out from under you? oops

    🤪

     

    I know you were teasing. I'm sorry I'm too jaded to be able to respond in kind.

    reading all these posts by well-meaning white people explaining to a black American how she doesn't really understand racism, and how they they do understand it, and therefore her own lived experience, than she does, leaves me feeling distinctly queasy.

    This is why I don't bother trying to discuss racism with most (not all) white people. I learned decades ago that they don't really care and never will. They don't want to know the truth because then they would have to face their own racist attitudes, which means the world isn't the protective bubble they want it to be. Their glass houses would shatter. So we don't get a better world and decent human beings.

    M'kay. The 'Minimum Age' that was set in the ToS/CS and as was noted elsewhere is not an absolute as Linden Lab is already very aware.

    Now ...

    1. Don't go flying off the handle at me for reacting to a particular part of or set of posts containing certain, useless information
    2. If your posts had nothing to do with the Ratings - which were one of the two line items in the post you'd initially responded to - there was no reason whatsoever to respond, let alone the way you did and have further done above
    3. Don't assume a response is contributing other people's BS to you - if I am not directly addressing you or giving some indicator that a given response is directed at you ... That is on you

    So far nothing you have said applies to my posts. Posts that you quoted. My posts did not have the purpose you are giving them. Full stop.

    These damn things on footwear - especially boots - in SL:

    2118026451_shoetabsargh.png.c1337036dbe9f7595c5e706f547be3f9.png

    Sure, they look great in the ads and on the shelves. But finding pants they will actually not stick through at the back can be a bloody nightmare. At least give us the option to make those tabs invisible via HUD to allow for better fitting. >:(

    They do serve a purpose. In real life. Until you rip one off trying to pull your shoe on because inferior engineering.

    Selene, you are one of several that were using the mentioned bits in your posts. Being blunt and honest where the Rating system is concerned: I don't care all that much as to the reasoning/motive behind it being brought up, hence the phrasing of point one above.

    About the only edge case on that? Bringing it up to showcase just how broken and meaningless it is.

    My posts weren't about the god damn ratings. They were about the minimum age of the god damn players of the game. That is all. Don't contribute other people's bullcrap to me.

    1. ESRB Ratings are absolutely useless - people really need to stop citing them for anything
    2. Citing the ToS/CS over and over again - in any form - means jack and squat where this is concerned

    Think there is something hinky going on? Abuse Report it or get the attention of Governance somehow, see what they do about it.

    If the place is still around in a month or two then you have all the answers you need. Our opinions, thoughts and feelings on the matter are rather meaningless when it comes to potential ToS/CS issues and Linden Lab's response (or lack thereof).

    Oh man. Did you ever read my posts wrong.

    Well I wasn't here then but from the wiki it sounded like the 4096 came along with the one time biggish payment ($160?).  Did you also pay that money to OPT IN to the special offer?    If so then a ticket should get that fixed for you.

     

    Another page said that this happened in 2009 BTW.   

     

    Occasionally, an older Resident may be listed in his profile as being a 'Charter Member' of Second Life. This is a privilege extended to the oldest Residents who were willing to risk a larger upfront payment for never having to pay subscriptions ever again for life prior to version 1.2. This membership type was extended at the introduction of land tier to provide a free 4096sqm of land tier per Chartered Member.

     

     

    V1.2 was not 2009. It couldn't have been since 1.5 was 2005.

    Charter memberships date back to 2003/4 and they always had the 4096. LL stopped offering charters in 2004.

    I see this is maybe a test phase for LL to bring back something like the old teen grid but for special purposes. privately run grids that allow only special registered individuals to use.

    virtual events like this and other things are going to become a much bigger thing in the future because of the convenience and safety of them.

    And LL does not need to care if anyone thinks a bad idea, for at the end of the day its LL choice and no one elses.

    Plus it may draw in new accounts as the children age and become old enough to use the regular sl outside of the camp setting.

    LL called it Enterprise and it was available to corporations and non-profits. They're so close to letting us host our own regions without the access restriction(s) but they'll never do it even though they could and it would increase income.

    My daughter plays as well, but I did only recall her saying there was one that was for kids.  I do not think 10 is a teen, but the woohoo? isn't kid friendly I agree.  I was not arguing, I just thought one was for younger kids is all.

    I didn't take it as you arguing, just lack of info, so I provided. 

    Just fyi, none of The Sims pc games, apps or the MMO(s) were ever intended for 12 and under.
