I was watching TV and when my show ended the Spokane local news came on. Before I could change the channel, they opened with a an update about the Piggyback Bandit Now I probably shouldn’t have laughed, especially since I had no idea at the time what his crime was, but Piggyback Bandit...

For me, hands down, plague. Or any disease really. I’m lucky that I wouldn’t be directly impacted by floods or earthquakes or volcanoes which is maybe why an outbreak of diseases feels like the most frightening to me. Obviously the other disasters would have secondary impact on me, and...

Good Lord, I just heard about this today. Terrifying. My instinct is to blame the anti vaxxer for things like this but I in fairness can’t. Even if it was confirmed as Polio (it’s not Polio according to CDC) i don’t think the west has been actively vaccinating children for polio in years...

So much to my dismay, the abortion “debate” has been on the rise in Canada for the past year. Worse, the prolifers seem to be gaining support and traction using similar arguments that have led to reduced access in many states. For those not familiar with abortion law in Canada, the short...

A thread for those videos, images, or stories that get in your eye.

This is going to come out all rambly and awkward because I'm struggling to put words to a feeling, but I hope I don't accidentally offend anyone while I try to sort this out. As suggested in the title, I want to try to express the feeling "I see the you that you see". In my real life, I don't...

Reading the “what would you do differently” thread I saw a few comments about regrettable purchases so I thought I’d branch that topic off. Mine is probably an expensive shape. Don’t get me wrong, a good shape can be worthwhile, but I bought two in one day before even realizing what I was...

Thanks to all those who participated in the first challenge. Time for Challenge 2. The Prompt is FALL. Of course the obvious reference is the time of year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing landscape pictures from Sansar, or Sinespace, or Second Life, and even other places that don't...

Has anyone seen Believer yet? Believer (2018) - IMDb It’s a documentary style movie about the singer from Imagine Dragons taking on the Mormon Church about the suicide rates among LGBT youth. I’ll be honest, I don’t watch a lot of documentaries and I watched this one sort of by...

Yes, this forum has one, and it’s wonderful but I thought I should let everyone know it comes with a few risks as well. The good part? Unlike the SLU software, the ignore feature also hides quoted text and the users reaction button clicks. In fact, if they post, you don’t even see an entry...

So it just occurred to me that all the mysterious performance issues in SLU the past few months match up with the timing of Cris’ noticeable distance and lowered participation. Coincidence? I think not!!! Friends, fellow SLUnies, SLUts and SLUers, we’ve been conned. Those “performance” bugs...

My home sub representing!

I started listening to The Magnus Archives over the summer. Currently on episode 47 of 119 but they keep adding more so I should be good for a while. They are perfect length for my bus ride home from work and intriging little stories in and of themselves which all tie into a bigger story arc...

So I think just about every one here is, or was, a Second Life resident. I myself logged in daily from 2007 to about 2013, then tapered to a couple times a week, then once a week, then...some of you know how it goes. So before I give away too much of my answers, here are the questions: 1...

The title of this article is misleading, it actually covers a lot of interesting questions about the future of VR in everything from couples therapy to making women safer in the porn industry. Swiping right on virtual relationships – TechCrunch

I’m really interested to see how the avatars and content are progressing across all the Virtual Worlds so I decided to start these “Show Me” Challenges to see what you all come up with. Rules are simple. 1. Take a picture of your avatar, content item or a location in any Virtual World using...

I’ve half watched this show from the very first season (by which I mean I often have it on in background while I’m doing dishes, laundry or on my computer) but I really think TLC outdid themselves this season finding the worst examples of people using the fiance visa yet. It’s like a train...

Batman’s penis will be removed from all future printings of DC comic | Metro News Some hilarious lines in this article.

Study Says Watching the Kardashians Actually Makes You a Worse Person So Kardashians and Maxim aside, what of the notion that being exposed to so much wealth, narcissism and fame via reality tv or social media actually normalizes some of their behaviour and makes us worse people?

I imagine I’ll have a lot of these so I left the title generic. My first is, is there way to react to a post by clicking on existing reactions instead of using the menu? That would be faster and easier on mobile for sure.
