In my college writing class, we were assigned to write a letter to our future selves, 15 years from now. I am 57, so I wrote to my 72-year-old self. It inspired me to make some images with chatgpt, using current pictures of RL me. I told it to mimic the famous picture of Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin, when the dove landed on him. Now I want to make my avatar look like this! :)

Das Ermächtigungsgesetz von Hitler wurde von allen Parteien unterschrieben. Nur eine Partei hat es nicht unterschrieben - und das waren die Sozialdemokraten. Und die gingen am nächsten Tag zuhauf in die Gefängnisse und Konzentrationslager. Und wenn ich dann sage, die Nationalsozialisten waren auch Sozialisten, dann fälsche ich dieses Geschichtsbild ganz bewusst, um vor einem Wahlkampf Stimmen zu fangen und Leute zu verunsichern. Wenn ein Mensch hingeht und die Sozialisten, die in den Gefängnissen und KZs gesessen haben, mit den Nationalsozialisten vergleicht, dann tut er das wider besseres Wissen. Und das ist eine Brunnenvergifterei übelster Sorte.
Hans-Joachim
Kulenkampff
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hitler's Enabling Act was signed by all parties. Only one party refused to sign it—the Social Democrats. And the very next day, they were sent en masse to prisons and concentration camps. And when I then say that the National Socialists were also socialists, I am deliberately distorting this historical narrative to gain votes and unsettle people before an election campaign. If someone goes and compares the socialists who were imprisoned in jails and concentration camps with the National Socialists, they are doing so knowingly. And that is poisoning the well in the worst possible way. Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff

Sometimes when you do nice things for people, someone will take notice. Thanks for the article, Hypergrid Business!

Dystopia. A dystopic city theme built for play and fun.

Explore the harbor, the old amusement park, the Sexposure - or, if you dare - Dr. Volkhard's old abandoned asylum, and many many more places. Whether you want to just walk around and take in the scenery or role-play, this is the place for you.

60 second visitors who perform a brief scan of the land you've worked on for years with all your heart and love, and then - after not really checking anything out - not the details you've painstakingly added, created, crafted and carved -- or -- anything -- hilariously rooted to the spot where they arrive -- not moving an inch to look around --

And then ZOOM!! ... take off as if the devil were on their tail ...

#Opensimfacts #NothingToSeeHere

My dears, I'm being accused here of wanting to generate traffic. I can assure you that's not the case. This is a Sim where you can also live. It should be obvious that avatars will be there from time to time. I offer this stuff here so that there's something new every now and then, and I'm happy if you enjoy it. I don't really care how high the traffic is. I don't think I'll benefit from it in the end. I also don't want to take any of your traffic away. Therefore, I will remove this feature that the Sim displays here.

ihr lieben, mir wird hier unterstellt, ich will traffic generieren. Ich kann euch versichern, das dem nicht so ist. Das ist eine Sim, auf der man auch wohnen kann. Da sollte klar sein, das sich da auch mal Avatare aufhalten. Ich biete das Zeug hier an, damit es auch ab und an mal was neues gibt und es mich freut, wenn ihr Spaß daran habt. mir ist das relativ egal wie hoch dabei der traffic ist. Ich glaube nicht, das ich am ende davon etwas hab. ich will auch keinem etwas weg nehmen von seinem Traffic. desshalb werde ich dieses Teil, was die Sim hier bekannt gibt auch wieder abbauen.

For those coming to the gala next Wednesday at the Art Deco ballroom at Lunaria Emporium (see previous post), this photo composite shows the difference between using a PBR viewer (at the top) vs using an older viewer (at the bottom). Additionally, your settings in the PBR viewer do not have to be high to see it this way, and unless a very old computer is being used (10+ years), there should be no appreciable difference in FPS between the viewers. Of course, we're just glad you're coming, no matter what viewer you're using :-) If you are coming, I do advise visiting prior to cache your viewer when no one is around.

You’ve just arrived in OpenSim, and already the vastness overwhelms you?
The lands are wide, the faces still unknown, and the night slowly falls...
But fear not. There is a place—somewhere between the mists and digital hills—
where a light still watches over.

The Castle of Castaway opens its doors to wandering souls.
Ancient stones, cozy beds, crackling fireplaces...
And above all, that comforting silence that wraps around your dreams.

Here, you will find rest.
Here, you will be safe.
Well… except on full moon nights.
Mouah ah ah ah… 😈
