No I’m not coming back. But occasionally I’m curious about what’s new or what’s happening in Second Life. “Back in my day” there were some great blogs about events, fashion, photography, new gadgets etc. Plurk was also where a lot of news was shared. Flickr was a great resource for following...

We need a thread just in case. Who could have known we’d need a Bigfoot thread, or one about a Coup?

I can’t believe this is 40. I’ve watched it a few times, and each I was in a different phase of life and different parts resonated with me. One of my top 10 ugly crying movies for sure. What are yours...

YouTube now allows breastfeeding videos to be monetized. Here's why it changed its mind. I have changed my mind about how I feel about this 4 times now. Everything from “that would have been useful 20 years ago” to “what could possibly go wrong?” to “good for them!” Then too “RL imitating SL”...

Is it just me or does it seem like a disproportionate amount of tech is named after something else? Apple, mouse, cloud, python, edge, outlook. The more I notice it, the more it annoys me. Not only as a fan of language do I find it unfortunate that words get repurposed and take on new...

I stole the title of the article to use as the title of the thread because it seems more and more topics could fit under this umbrella these days. As for the piece that inspired me, yes commentary from Salon but serves as conversation starter. I hadn’t previously pieced together their war on...

Need some advice and opinions from those who fly often or fly recently in the USA. Planning a trip from Canada to US this winter and it’s about half price if a chose a flight with a connection instead of direct non stop. My options for connecting airports are Salt Lake, Denver, Ohare, Las...

Why do dog farts smell so bad? For real. I think they have the worst smelling flatulence of any animal. The weird thing is their farts smell completely different and much worse than their crap.

So no secret I enjoy the occasional cocktail, wine or spirit although I’ve always been a cheap drunk with a low tolerance for alcohol so it’s rarely a significant amount. Last Summer I found myself drinking mainly Lynchburg Lemonades or Moscow Mules on those days I wanted a cocktail enough to...

Ok what just happened today in Pennsylvania? I have watched the video, read a few Reddit threads and news articles, but as a non American I’m not sure if these terms like treason, sedition and coup are internet hyperbole or legit. More terrifying are those saying this was the dress rehearsal...

Joined SL in 2007, SLU in 2011, and although I haven’t been in SL for several years I still do drive bys here. I guess I like some of you or something? Not all of you, obviously, but enough of you 😝 It is strange how so many of you have wormed your way into my subconscious, in ways I would...

Self explanatory title I think, how do you spend election night? With family and friends in front of the TV? Which channel? Do you gather at a location like a bar or candidate headquarters, or did you pre Covid? Do you volunteer at a polling station? Do you spend it alone juggling between...

Warning: Pan’s somewhat esoteric cannabinoid fuelled stream of consciousness thread ahead. Again. What does the term soul mate mean to you? Is it always romantic? Can friends or even family members be soul mates? Can people have more than one? Do you use the term even if you aren’t...

Has anyone been watching this? Spoiler, it’s not about wolves. What is it about? Well I I binged the first 4 episodes the on Friday night then caught up yesterday and I still don’t really know what I’m watching so I was hoping someone here could explain it to me 😂 It’s an addictive sci fi...

Maybe it should have been called "Who Makes Up the Majority of Undecided" or even better, "What is each parties target audience?" since I see lots of talk about needing to change people's minds, sway them to one side or another, but more so I think it's about convincing people to show up to...

Pretty straightforward, what is your favourite movie adaptation of a book? And why? Because it was the most accurate? Because it elaborated on the story? Because of how it felt to see your favourite book on screen? Because the casting was perfect? I’ve spent hours this evening reading on...

I posted about a business that came up with a new model to support families doing online learning due to Covid... How COVID-19 is affecting society And then I thought, sure it's fun to poke fun of antimaskers, shake our head at the latest from POTUS, and watching that count of deaths can't be...

Title Rip off of one of my favourte subs on Reddit... Apparently I've gone 40+ years not knowing how to correctly close a Cereal Box. I've been going around my house finding all kinds of boxes I can use this method on.

I don't know if it's age, or a side effect of previous illness and surgery, or just luck, but I somehow managed to develop progressively annoying IBS over the last year. In doing an elimination diet we discovered, of course, that dairy and gluten were the two main triggers. I didn't want them...
