Nobody Cares - Second Life Is Weird AF

It was Victorian Oxonians who invented the term soccer. They were just trying to be polite. Leave it to a Scotsman to decry the eternal struggle to speak politely.

Why is "soccer" more 'polite' than "football"? I think the word you are looking for here is "pretentious".

Did rugby become popular as a rejection of a civil society?

There's a link hidden in my post, but the point salient to yours is that Oxonians had already turned rugby into rugger, so they correctly foresaw the linguistic faux pas inherent in doing the same for Association Football. The rest is left as an exercise for the student.

I have heard the rugby is a thug's sport played by gentlemen, while soccer is a gentleman's sport played by thugs.

There does not seem to be a term for women's soccer in this equation ...

Where is ice-hockey in this spectrum?

Gentlemen sport played by gentlemen.

On this 4 was grid, what would be the thug sport played by thugs? Lacross? Polo?

Since this seems to be the football thread right now:
I think there is a good chance that the USA will win the football World Cup this year.
Who wants to get that trophy out of the hands of the orange baboon?

Once Argent mentioned ice hockey, the bubble was burst.

Really?

I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.

The simulator next door to where all my property resides had been restarted, which I knew thanks to the normal missing land void. Except a single object on a property in that sim remained. I was able to open the Edit menu for the object and everything (though I couldn't actually make changes to it - I didn't own it). The root prim of the object certainly looked like it resided in that sim, but...

Anyone ever see this before?

I love his enthusiasm.

And his description of his body problem makes sense, but I can see why it would not. Basically, he needed to wear the head body/shape, not the body body/shape.

Anyway, this is why I keep a note with all my slider settings for the body and why I keep wishing LL would decouple the head and body shapes.

Who is the real life figure behind Gifty Mole? And does this person ever get annoyed having to maintain their Temu Santa Claus persona?

Is there some kind of calling I'm unknowingly heeding? Yesterday I just returned to Second Life after 8 years. I don't exactly know why. Everything is strange and different exactly as I left it. Help.

Anyone that's done a large $L limit buy, typically how long does it take? Like stupid large..

Never mind, it went through finally

Yo, creators. You know, using the "See item in Second Life" link should not mean see the same image on the vendor at our inworld store that we used here on the Marketplace.
