My SL Feed - February 2013

From First, to Last, all of my SL Feed posts from February 2013. Some of them have fun links :-)

The "Tainted Love" hunt has just started, and this time I felt inspired as to create a whole story surrounding it. Have fun! (Music suggestions and more, here: http://auryn-beorn.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-tainted-love-hunt.html )

There's a risk in publicly proclaiming yourself as a keeper of high moral standards (witch hunt included): that others could be baiting you, and you would not see it even with a huge sign saying "sarcasm".

If I could comment on the feed of the person that has just said "If you choose to believe what has been said about me, without asking me anything, then I guess you're too shallow to be of interest to me.", I would reply "LOL". I asked her, because I wanted to know of HER evidence and reasons. After not having an answer, I asked her again, several times. This person said "Picture me giving a damn". And still, I asked her more. The consequence? I was muted by this person :-)

Still under construction (the roof is too... simple, I know). I can't wait for the moment of dropping this (monster) down on the sim and break everything around by terraforming. I promise it won't be by making it physical :-) (but it will happen during Twisted - sorry, hunters *polishes her halo*)

One of the reasons why I am okay with drama is that the line that separates "drama" from "no drama" is subjective, and often used as a weapon to silence opinions and thoughts that we don't want to hear, or that we don't want to see made public.

This doesn't mean I will have infinite patience, but I will try not to use "cut the drama" as an "argument" to silence you, by making you look like an emotional gossip fool, just because you're trying to put your thoughts into words. (I begin to think that same way as there it is the "Godwin fallacy" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law , there should be also the "Drama fallacy" - Yes, there's the "thought terminating cliche fallacy" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_clich%C3%A9#Thought-terminating_clich.C3.A9 , but perhaps it could be added as a corollary - "and if you do this, you are a drama monger".)

Fallacy of the Day:

A: Your reasoning falls into this, this, this and this other fallacy, at least.
B: Irrelevant. By the way, letting someone die because they are disabled IS violence... So much for being "against all violence."

At no time, A has mentioned her opinions about the topic discussed, and has merely outlined some mistakes in the reasoning. As a response, B implies that A agrees with letting someone die because they are disabled. Yes, that is a fallacy. You're welcome :-)

Unconditional loyalty. Is it something we should give to those that just use us for their own benefit, then forget about us when they don't need from our work? I say, no. The difficult part? Realizing that you're being used. Let's be real: Who wants to acknowledge that is being used, to oneself? We will always think we're smarter than that. (Reality, of course, has a different version of the story, called "facts".)

This link was previously posted by Pep in his feed: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20896966 When I read it, sadly, I wasn't shocked at all, but when I read this quote in that web page: "When you see a woman straddle, she looks like a man. But if she sits side-saddle, she looks like a woman." I shook my head. For a moment, I felt like if I was reading any of the books about Gor. (And yes, I have my own pace to read the feeds.)

Tired of SL drama? Or not tired, but needing to distract your mind a few minutes? Take a break in the RL facilities! The windlight system is still a little primitive, but the Sun feels warm and the breeze in the woods has a nice, fresh smell, still to be beaten by the best SL particle system effects.
PRO-TIP: RL roses have actual thorns. Your experience with them will be greatly enhanced if you hold them where they have no thorns. You're welcome :-))

Gardening 102: They may look similar to the untrained eye, but beware of wasps, for they are like a psycho version of bees. Bees use to mind their business with flowers and might be naive about defending themselves ( http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/6264573_700b_v2.jpg ). Wasps will chase you, though, no matter how a
pixel bad ass you've said you are in your profile, if they feel like it.

The end of this year brings me a wonderful image: the tips of my tulips coming out from the ground. There's a promise of life in the flowers that will soon blossom. I thought I would never achieve it, but once again, I proved to myself "never say never".

I hadn't realized about all the work done in the last five months until setting up this year for the SL Christmas Expo. Everything I wanted to do, I had it covered thanks to my (recent) previous work. It doesn't mean I will stall, it only means that, for once, I devoted my hardest efforts to someone that would appreciate them. Like, myself. Which is harder, more complicated and way less selfish than how it sounds.

External beauty in RL is ephemeral. In SL, external beauty can be bought. From this, I have to conclude that if you feel threatened by someone else's external beauty, specially the SL one, then you really have nothing interesting inside.

My brother uses to send me links to make me laugh. This one http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/5415024_700b_v1.jpg has made me to recall of something even more fun: the "canned unicorn meat" was an April 1st joke to crack up ( http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/unicorn-meat.shtml ), but what was even more hilarious, is that they got a cease and desist letter for slogan infringement: http://www.thinkgeek.com/blog/2010/06/officially-our-bestever-cease.html (Things like this happen when one takes oneself too seriously.)

Today, as expected, my secret alt has found out at one class at Builder's Brewery that the instructor, usually unable of spelling correctly even if her life depends on it... talks Aurynese! Very soon, the reasons behind my resignation, and the shame on those looking aside instead of taking action. (Yes, I'm explaining... and when the full story is published, the bad memories will finally be left behind.)

Some things are just sad. Today I've left Builder's Brewery. I'm still pondering about making open my resignation letter. I have nothing to hide and one thing to regret: having had under my wing the instructor that has provoked my final decision to leave. I wish I had known. But such is life. Time to move on.

Beggars will not stop begging, but here it is a thought: when they beg in group chats, don't reply. Ban them from your parcel if you wish, AR them, mute them... but don't reply. If you reply, they have instant access to yet another profile to check for more free groups to join... to beg in them. If they want to beg, leave to them the work of finding more groups... don't make it easy for them!

I take interruptions in IM very badly when I'm trying to help in group :-) (I know, this might sound rude for some, but when I'm talking in the group, and helping in the group, if you drag my attention to yourself, you're being detrimental to the group, and the group is missing from the exchange we could have - that's why my rule about NOT answering you if you IM me because you've seen me helping in group - if I'm helping in group is because I want THE GROUP to have a benefit - don't be that selfish, ok?)
