You Can't Have A Poll Without Being Political
My Pol. Sci. professor said "politics happen whenever two people get together". That makes avoiding politics difficult. However, politics is more generally associated with making decisions in a group. And because of their role in elections and government decision-making, polls are a major part of the political landscape. An election itself is a poll (the only important one say some). Before and after elections, polls are a critical tool for gauging the "will of the people" beyond what simple election results can show. Polls are, by their nature, political.

A poll on OSW says that the will of the people here is that this is not a place for politics. But if you don't want politics on OSW, you lose just by voting.

Not that it matters. Polling results in OWS are not enforceable and will not stop political posts. Want to do something effective? Block people.

Everyone else is invited to an extended stay in the BDSM by MAGA region, where the beatings will continue until the complaining stops.

We had our HG Safari tour on Wednesday and it was a lot of fun. If you want to get to know more about the Opensim World and the wonderful things people are creating and building, you should join us on an HG Safari tour. The image shows Leshmor's Deragona Island home of the dragons.

Just so folks don't think we have no green healthy foods on the Green Isle. Irish Flag Salad - a salad with the colours of the flag. Spinach, oranges pieces, pear slices, feta, pistachios and a honey lemon vinaigrette. Free to copy buy for 0 at Doyle's:)

And don't worry, if you love the fried stuff, there will be more...lol

Someone commented on my last post that they had some of my mesh having issues with resizing. I want to always let people know...if you have an issue with the mesh, let me know. In the meantime, I have learned techniques (not mysteries for mesh creators, but I am new at it and slow) that prevent collapse and resizing texture issues. However, those things are always dependent on the piece, the original image that was used, and the texture itself. One of the reasons I include the textures with the pieces under contents is so that people can sharpen them, change the shading, etc. I don't always sharpen my textures. Some of the original images I used are done in styles like impressionistic painters. This make them look differently, but they are consistent upon resizing. I made a little webpage demonstrating some of this, for those that are interested. https://sites.google.com/dynamiclearning.solutions/meshing...

Vegan Plant Based Ulster Fry:)

With tofu scramble, a plant based sausage patty and tempeh bacon instead of the meats.

I also stuck the vegan and carnivore at the same table because those are always great conversations:)

At Doyle's.

Hey everybody! I had the time to make some new mesh Holiday decorations for you. You will find them at the arrival point for the mall and they are free and full perm. The only thing you can't do is re-texture them because they're textured when they are made in Meshy. But they are beautiful and seasonal so get yours soon, after the holiday they will be moved to our Holidays & Seasons area where you can also find a lot of great items to decorate for the holidays. Blessings and much love, Lavia!

I set the game up behind the barn!!

beta testing kubo/IPFS - backed asset server. if your regions are spread out in different continents like an octopus and the head is the robust server 'brain' you can run IPFS nodes on each region. Working on the brain node next, hopefully replace fsassets. I'm using content hashing to reduce dups, for example 500 blank notecards is only 1 blank notecard. code at https://codeberg.org/fionasweet/assetd it works as a cache for fsassets at the moment but still WIP

Another chance to experience the talents of DJ Azraella.
2 more hours of awesome beat matching and true club experience mixed live at Subteranea Club Advantis.

Start your week with an audio injection of the best in Electro House from Neverworld's Official Sound Architect.

It's the International Day of the Seal -raising awareness about conservation and preserving habitats for these glorious animal friends. This is the Bagel Seal - probably the best find on Sketchfab to date by a creator named Jerry Bot. And thank you to Cherry Manga for advising me when I had issues with this upload and leading the path to success. I couldn't take his bagels away. He's worked so hard to balance the full dozen. The Bagel Seal can bring joy to your region too. He's at the back door of the Sunflower Bakery & Cafe by the fishing docks doing tricks for Serhiy.

Sweet Spot Golf Club is now officially reopened!

The golf system has been fully updated and is now running smoothly with improved gameplay and scoring.

If you’re coming out to play, please take a moment to do it right:

• Read the instructions in the golf bag before starting
• Always wear BOTH HUDs (Golf HUD + Scorecard HUD)
• Touch the ball to arm it before swinging
• Set your power in local chat before your shot

We love seeing people explore and test, but just hitting balls without the HUDs or instructions will not give you the proper game experience.

This system is designed to be interactive and accurate — and it works beautifully when used as intended.

Come enjoy the course, the scenery, and a proper round of golf.

Sweet Spot Golf Club now has 3 rentals available!

Enjoy peaceful living in a beautiful ---->G-rated sim

The Manifesto of TARTARIA

We explain:
The history of humankind is not a straight line.
It is a web of ascents, collapses, oblivion, and rediscovery.
Anyone who claims that progress inevitably leads from a primitive past to perfect modernity is telling a comforting story – but not the whole truth.

We distrust standardized truth.

When history is condensed into a single official narrative in school textbooks, an illusion of certainty arises. But every generation rewrites history. Every power structure decides which voices are heard and which are silenced.

We therefore maintain that
history does not belong to institutions.
It belongs to human memory, to art, to people's stories.

We defend creativity as a fundamental form of human freedom.

Many people have been convinced that they are "not creative."
This is one of the most successful cultural deceptions of modern times.

Creativity is not a rare talent.
It is a natural state of the human mind.

A person who designs, questions, doubts, invents – eludes complete control.

That's why creativity is political.

We are questioning the concept of value.

In a world where numbers determine value, it is forgotten that
the value of a thought, a poem, or a picture cannot be calculated.

A work of art can be priceless – or appear worthless – depending on who is looking at it.
This shows that value is not an objective measure. It is a matter of agreement.

We warn against the new architecture of control.

When every movement, every purchase, every decision is transformed into data, a society of total observation emerges.

Discounts in exchange for data.
Convenience in exchange for privacy.
Security in exchange for freedom.

The new power structure is not visible like a palace or an army.
It consists of networks, algorithms, and information flows.

We remind you that freedom also requires anonymity.

We advocate for human standards.

Communities should be small enough that people know each other.
Small enough that responsibility remains visible.

A society is healthy when citizens can influence its decisions – not just every few years by marking a ballot, but through active participation.

We call this vision "Tartar".

Not as a historical claim about a lost civilization,
but as a symbol for another possibility of human organization.

A world with more creativity,
more decentralization,
more trust in people's ability to shape their own lives.

This manifesto is not the end of a discussion.

It is an invitation to think differently.
