Nothing you could do or say is right.
I already know just what I like.
Bad girl, need a bad girl, need a bad girl
'Cause the bad boys just don't cut it
We got what they want want, what they want want
They can look but they just can't touch it
Bad girl, need a bad girl, need a bad girl
'Cause the bad boys just don't cut it...

causing some drama.... look, Opensim is based on avatars whether that be dog, dragon, dinke, or anime , "who you want to be"... so my question to you ... does that mean family, significate others or what??? Me. myself, I want a family ... we are a "G" grid, so far I have an older sister and a twin brother.... IDK, i think it's kewl... what are your thoughts?

Thank you for helping us track the notorious and very dangerous PRISCILLA KLEENEX. Here at the special grids investigation center in langley, virginia, we've set up a special team to help find this MOST WANTED criminal! Our computer command center runs non stop 24/7/365 supplying leads to Local Enforcement Officers in the grids to eviscerate this highly obnoxious and extremely mischievous individual. The G.I.S. plans to put an end to this monkey business once and for all! God Bless America!

Well, my friends from the Metaverse. I'm starting my long dreamed project. Escor starting to build my own grid. At first it will be hosted on a small server of my own. Over time, who knows, if I have a few additions to the project, we might be able to migrate to a bigger server.
The roleplay project that I intend to create is based on some things that I wrote, that I researched and that I came up with with a little creativity.
It is the cult of the Goddess Velathri, the one who gave the human race the knowledge of spiritual fulfillment through erotic practices. So it's an adult roleplay and that's what it's aimed at. More details, I will give you if you contact me.
I would like to count on people to help me in this construction.

Catena di isole is now completed. It has been such a pleasure building this sim. Thank you everyone for visiting it has been nice chatting with you while I built this sim. Everyone is welcome here. Robin Ridley will be adding a new store to the Freebie mall so stay tuned for the ads. Please stop by anytime. continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Catena di isole

================The neoliberal doctrine: ================
==To establish pathology as the norm, and everything normal as pathology==

A large part of Bulgarians still do not realize that the West, from being conservative, national and right-wing, today is now liberal, global and left-wing, writes Irini Zikidis
Sofia, Bulgaria 16 Aug 2022, 09:56 - Author: BLITZ

"These days, an opponent shrewdly told me something like, 'We support Ukraine, not because we love it, but because we hate Russia. Like you support Russia, not because you love that bitch, but because you hate the neoliberal doctrine." We shook hands".

This is what the famous blogger Irini Zikidis writes and continues: And now let's remind ourselves once again what the neoliberal doctrine is:

The neoliberal doctrine represents today's western left, and its representatives are also called liberals, neoliberals, progressives. I strongly emphasize the fact that only in Bulgaria the defenders of the neoliberal ideology beat their chests for being right-wing. This nonsense is not found anywhere else, and in the West, people with liberal beliefs are called liberals (not according to Hayek!), neoliberals, leftists, leftists, progressives, Marxists, Trotskyists, etc. But never right.

In the 1960s, Frankfurt School member Herbert Marcuse argued that Marx had mistaken the subject of revolution. According to Marx, the inevitable global conflict is between the working class (the proletariat) and the exploitative upper class parasitic on its back.

According to Marcuse, however, this is wrong because the working class has discredited itself by being conservative and even endorsing capitalism at the moment it has won more goods and rights for itself.

Therefore, Marcuse corrects Marx, arguing that the conflict is not class, but between "oppressing privileged bullies" (conservatives, white men) and "oppressed underprivileged victims" (all minorities). Marcuse became the guru of the Western left, which at that time entered into a violent conflict with communism in Eastern Europe, declaring it a "perversion". This, by the way, is particularly misunderstood in Bulgaria.

A large part of Bulgarians (even well-educated ones) still do not realize that the West, from being conservative, national and right-wing, is now liberal, global and left-wing today. These people say "Nonsense, the West should be left-wing?! That he denies communism?!” Well, here's the big surprise. Yes, the West denies communism. Eastern Communism. Communism of the USSR. He even calls it "vulgar Marxism", and accuses us of perverting the ideas of Marx, Trotsky, Lenin and Marcuse.

Here is Marcuse's most famous quote: "The bourgeoisie can still be defeated. Marx mistakenly believed that the proletariat was the authentic revolutionary class. The real revolutionary force today is the various minorities, the 'ghettos', who live outside the general order.

All pathology must be affirmed as the norm, and all the norm as pathology. The fusion of political and sexual-moral rebellion is key to effective opposition. Then bourgeois society will finally collapse.»

I mean, what does it turn out to be?

If a hundred years ago the progressive liberal forces fought for such fundamental things as social solidarity, equal rights and duties of people of every race, ethnicity, gender, religion and sexual preference, then modern Western left-wing ideologies boldly stepped into the quagmire of stupidity.

If the old left made a major contribution to today's luxuries that we take for granted (fair pay, two-day weekends, the eight-hour day, twenty days off, safe working conditions), the new left, the Starbucks-iPhone social justice warriors inspired by Marcuse, they have long since drawn one on the "working class" and have focused on "protecting" completely different ideas and social groups.

If the left in the past fought for class justice, this discourse has already been successfully replaced by the identity one, and the neoliberals have begun to stimulate new and new parasitic masses of victims.

The great collapse, the great schism in leftist ideology between East and West, occurred in two stages: after Stalin's death, when the Western left repudiated socialism in the Eastern Bloc as a "perversion of the ideas of Lenin and Trotsky", and a few years later, when the counterculture of the 1960s became mainstream culture, and leftist ideology was redirected from traditional class politics to the politically correct world of gender, racial, and sexual politics.

The electorate in the face of the working class has been replaced with itchy latte metropolitan voters and minorities. In this way, Marcuse replaces the subjects of the revolution - the revolutionaries are not the poor and oppressed workers, but blacks, women and gays.

Oppressors are no longer the hereditary heirs of financial empires of the notorious 1%, but the white, heterosexual, working man. The worker becomes a bourgeois. The former victim has been turned into an abuser. The vast working class has been left toothless, fistless and heartless. But why?

How did the working class suddenly become the enemy of the New Left? Very simply - it turned out that the working class did not really live up to the expectations of a fundamental and revolutionary change of society, and professed conservative values, which led Marcuse to replace the Marxist proletariat with other revolutionaries.

As white, working-class hetero men replace the bourgeoisie as the hated oppressor class, the left picks up on the victims as well. The new hierarchical pyramid is created. At the top are the perennial abusers - white straight men, followed by white straight women, followed by white gay men, followed by white gay women, followed by white disabled, followed by black straight men, black straight women, black gay men, black gays women, disabled blacks and Muslims.

On the left we have a tragicomic battle about who is more screwed up, and while the debate over whether a black gay disabled man is more wronged than a black healthy hetero but ugly Muslim woman is being fought on an academic level (!!!) agree that the white straight man can never be a victim for anything. A white man in the west can only survive by self-flagellation and apologizing for being white and heterosexual.

What is the profile of liberals today? A layer of educated and well-realized people has been created who, despite their undoubted academic and professional successes, are totally devoid of the ability for critical and analytical thinking. In their majority, they belong to the new, modern type of liberal intelligentsia, situated in a comfortable, modern and cool ideological framework.

It's easy to recognize them - they're passionately committed to saving the planet, minority rights, feminism, Me Too, open borders for refugees - basically, all those clean, slightly abstract but terribly humane urban causes that are professed from a comfortable position of user comfort.

Despite their claims of modernity, awareness and progressiveness, however, in fact these people live in a state of serious intellectual disorientation and "block thinking". Completely mutually exclusive and even hostile ideas in the real world, such as Muslim rights and gay rights, co-exist perfectly peacefully in their heads.

If they had any critical thinking, they would know that in most of the countries from which Muslim immigrants come, homosexuality is punishable by death, which means that they cannot support gay rights and Muslim rights in Europe at the same time, because -the majority of Muslims sincerely believe that gay people deserve death. And because liberals use emotional discourse as a tool of influence that completely dominates logic and facts, it often happens that they intellectually crash in an argument with opponents.

(I'll digress slightly here to comment on what desperately lobotomized scumbags our liberal elite are made of - a week ago they were extremely busy enjoying how Putin was waiting for Erdogan at the Tehran meeting without uttering a single word about the decisions, that were taken, and the treaties that were signed at that meeting. And he hardly understood anything about them.)

Another matter is that the recently declassified files of the fathers of today's Western Left such as Marcuse show that they were cadres of the services. I do not know better proof of social engineering of the elites. They rode, tamed and replaced the left to destroy it.

Today's left is designed, created and run by those it thinks it is fighting against, which is why it has abandoned the topic of social injustice and focused on the social and biological gender of legions of victimized yuzles. The cause of today's left has been superseded and replaced with a toothless shill. No one is looking at the 1% who control more than half the world's wealth anymore because they are fixated on their 72nd gender and too busy making themselves victims. The New Left is a long dead ferret and smells like carrion.

Today's left, today's neoliberal cause to me is desperate. Identity politics is always attractive because it allows human stupidity and laziness to be presented as the product of oppression and historical injustice. Personal responsibility is removed from the equation.

This is how millions of white, working, conservative, normal people suddenly felt bad because they somehow found themselves redundant, confused and scared in the new global world. And we were declared "fascists" and "losers in love" by "journalists" such as Mrs. Kapka Todorova (correspondent of "24 hours in Berlin, note ed.").

The old-fashioned notions of patriotism, discipline, conscience, love and care for family, integrity, respect for tradition, morality, Christian faith and free will – the pillars of a society – have collapsed. Their place was taken by extreme individualism, contempt for tradition, and a refusal to take personal responsibility for one's actions. In a few decades, the old universal moral code was destroyed.

Unfortunately, the social and cultural radicalism of the left is in no way accompanied by a corresponding economic radicalism. On the contrary, the economic policy of the left turns out to be a complete failure.

So, let's point out the main causes for which today's western left is fighting, and which it is trying to push in our country through the generously funded political formations, NGOs and influencers:

Globalism and multiculturalism - open societies without borders; centralization of power and global decision-making by a small, extremely powerful and wealthy elite;

Digitization of society - a huge database with personal files and a scoring system for each person;

Green deal: yes, if you think articles like the one on CNN yesterday about the benefits of eating cockroaches is cheerful nonsense, I'm about to disappoint you - this is the future. It also includes limiting consumables (no way, the resources are finished, and Russia will not give theirs voluntarily), limiting travel (emission quotas);

Bioengineering - free sex change and sexual freedom in every sense of the word. Remember Marcuse's "sexual-moral revolt"?

And if all this sounds conspiratorial to you, just visit the World Economic Forum website more often.

It's called "The Great Reset" there.

Well, I don't care.

Another look I like. Ruth2 RC3 mesh body with my own hair, skin, and shape as in the earlier post. Clothes and shoes from the Kitely Market. Blouse is by Rune, leather pants are by Dadiellas, and my favorite boots came from Dollys, which has since closed due to constant fighting with the never buy in opensim crowd. She got tired of it and left opensim, closing all her stores.

I just wanted to party in opensim, hang out with friends, and make nice stuff that I could sell to pay for my land. I never wanted this fight but it came to my door anyway. If there are those who want give away a bunch of stuff stolen from SL then that's their decision, I'm not going to call them out over it - that's a bigger question for people far more important than I am in Opensim to grapple with. But I'm not going to let anyone dictate what I can and can't do with my own creations.

Big Sweater. Big Attitude.

Steam may sound like an unusual place to go hunting for avatar accessories. After all, it's Vbinnia Radek's legendary steampunk varsim.

At 343, 589, 21, there's Vbinnia's Emporium 1 with lots of boxes including Arcadia Asylum creations mostly from the Urban Blight, Steampunk and Space Pirate themes, but also stuff by Vbinnia herself and others. It isn't too interesting when it comes to avatar accessories, but it's worth mentioning nonetheless. For you Arcadia Asylum aficionados: The buildings have working doors, but you may find more tricked-out versions elsewhere.

What's more interesting and actually on-topic for this group is Vbinnia's Emporium 2 at 291, 391, 22. It offers lots of classic avatar accessories, bits and pieces as well as entire outfits. But there's one box, all the way to the right from the entrance, that may be useful for everyone with a BoM body that can use alpha masks: the Free Lower Body Alpha Mask Set. It contains nine textures from which you can make alpha masks that render your feet and lower legs invisible. An absolute must-have for boots.

My Ruth2 and Roth2 avatars. Luna on the left is wearing Ruth2 RC3 (I don't use RC4 because I don't like the alpha hud for that version). The dress is from the Kitely Market and made by Pacifica. Hair, skin, and shape are mine (no I don't sell these or give them away and haven't made any others since - not my thing). Apelles on the right is wearing the latest version of Roth2. Clothes and hair are from the Kitely Market. The glasses and shoes I made. Each one's complexity is about 55000 to 60000. Just so you know you can get a nice unique look with Ruth2 and Roth2

Ok... just looked through some of the recent front page posts. I've been here in Open Sim for about nine months now.

I have accounts in OSgrid and Kitely.

I'll have to admit a good deal of my wardrobe is possibly copybotted. I'd like to know if anyone is willing to send me a list of LM's showing truly original, OS based stuff (aside from Lunaria), I'd appreciate it. Most of my wardrobe is rigged to the Athena body. I also have a small number of Ruth2 takes. For my male alts (yes, I have a few, using the same names that I established for them in SL), I use Adonis and Roth2.

There was a discussion recently that influenced me to write this post. It's located below the post from Luna Lunaria, #92052. I totally understand creators desiring to be compensated for their creations. I have spent a fair amount of L$ to gather some of my clothes in SL. I wouldn't mind paying a few K$ or O$ for some creations on this side of the metaverse, as I think that's quite fair.

Thansk to anyone that can help me out, I appreciate it. I'd prefer that the links be included publicly (instead of PMing me), so other users can find it easily.

Hello everyone a new project is coming I am working on. A BDSM college, a place for beginners to learn and experience aspects of BDSM or for advance people to come and help others. there is also a track for pony play. its still under construction and if anyone is good with roads and trees please contact me.

So this post was left on one of my regions and is fairly representative of the mindset original opensim creators will grapple with if they want to sell their products here:

"It looks nice but I like the whole sharing is caring idea. So many places in OS that offer free stuff. Not here, too bad."

I don't blame this shopper at all for wanting to find quality items for free - who doesn't? I was grateful that they visited in the first place and cared enough to leave a comment. It's for that reason that from time to time I do exactly that - offer most of my stuff for free as I did this past OSFest.

No, the ones that make life for opensim creators difficult are those freebie mills continuously churning out stolen content from Second Life and calling it 'sharing', and who aggressively push the idea that merchants in opensim have no right to exist.

As I replied to this user: Sharing is truly caring only if it's the original creator giving it away free, or if they have explicitly given permission to others to do so. And that only works if they don't have to pay for their regions, which is not the case for me.

My region costs average $20 per month per region, and the money I make from sales covers that most of the time. There are months I take a loss with my opensim stores (my Second Life store has never posted a loss in 14 years). But because sales do cover most of my rent I can keep doing what I love: making original content for Opensim.

Paying for regions of course is my choice - I prefer to be on well-run grids that truly respect creators rights. I know that you can easily find quality items for your regions for free all over opensim, so no one is more grateful than me when you choose to purchase at my stores :-)
