Offrite servizi di personalizzazione? Ad esempio, se vi fornissi delle foto, sareste in grado di creare un avatar che mi somigli nella vita reale?

Luna, does it make a difference how the inventory is organized? For example, making sure there are as few items and folders in the root folder? I've observed this seems to make a difference.

That question is beyond my pay grade I'm afraid. Have no idea. I have an OSGrid avatar, but I keep her inventory completely stripped down to make it easier when attending hypergrid events.

Nicely designed island! I like the high-quality mature palm trees and the boardwalk have-buried in eroded sand. Really a pleasant island--or two islands, really.

Well stated, Remmy.

It forever fascinates me that rather than recognizing there are legitimate grievances and concerns, those who are ideologically-driven seem unable to pause and ask, "Why do these people choose differently than I? Are they truly all racists?"

You may not be a racist Frank, but by your actions/inactions you support racists. If the extreme far-left were a present and genuine threat you can be sure that we would take note, and where necessary, oppose them. Most of us are not that ideologically driven, we just stand up for decency and Enlightenment values, values that saw the establishment of the USA. No one has called anyone a racist here, but those of you arguing about distractions, for that is what your claimed 'fears' amount to are doing the work of the racists and the fascists. I'm sure that the neo-fascists now taking over the USA are really pleased that they have yet another useful idiot in you.

It's very telling indeed that you would rather spend time here trolling those of us taking a stand rather than opposing the fr-right, the racists and fascists.

Insightful, nuanced words, Remmy! I always enjoy your poetry.

I do not think you will sway anyone here, unfortunately. Those who are radicalized won't be swayed by thoughtful, reasoned discourse. They are emotion-based creatures, and their minds are fully made up with no room for further consideration, for they see the world as black-and-white, not nuanced.

Seriously, it's false equivalence rubbish from someone who may not think they support Trump and the neo-fascists, but clearly gets their information and from sources biased towards Trump and the neo-fascists. When dealing with people like Trump and the neo-fascists he is enabling there can be no middle ground: you are either against them, or for them. The only right choice you have is how you choose to oppose them.

You further prove my point.

I prove nothing of the sort, as I don't seriously think you have a genuine point. I am well capable of nuance and seeing the world in many shades, but there are only two ways of seeing fascism. Are you telling me there are good things about fascism? On this we have to choose a side, there is no middle ground and to think or claim that there is, is both misguided and delusional. I am not radicalised, but neither am I dull in my senses when faced with the the real threat of the far-right, which is a real and present threat, and not the 'straw man' threat of the far-left which though could potentially present a threat, is currently far from being one, so far in fact as to not warrant any serious consideration.

Well, we've gotten to live proto-Communism as a de facto policy in the collective West for some time. That has proven to be just as effective at protecting individual rights and liberties as every other experiment with Communism has throughout history.

Maybe it's time to let the pendulum swing the other direction, and see what "far right" nationalism looks like for a time. It certainly cannot be any worse.

If you want to "see what "far right" nationalism looks like", get yourself a history book and look up Germany 1933-1945.

FFS are you serious? Your claim that we've somehow been living under 'proto-communism' is both ridiculous and demonstrably untrue. Even at the height of Keynsian economics the 'collective west' was still capitalist at base, (as was the 'communist' bloc, but I suspect that's beyond your clearly limited comprehension). For the past nigh on half century the developed world has fallen victim to the neo-liberals who are now morphing into the far-right.

History tells us that far-right nationalism is far, far worse than what was called communism, (again, false equivalences are being used) though of course those regimes were extremely questionable. If you doubt how far-right nationalism can be bad, there is the spectre of Nazi era Germany, or Italy, and neo-fascist USA is shaping up to establish concentration camps and persecute minorities. Are you seriously in support of those things?

Get real!

There is also the inconvenient fact that individual rights and liberties don't exist under fascist/totalitarian regimes.

I wanted to buy these, but I cannot find the moneygiver to replenish my negative balance of currency on your sim. I did find the beach shower and stood in it for several minutes but didn't receive any replenishment there either.

How do we obtain more of your sim's currency? What are the coordinates for the moneygiver, please? I searched for quite some time and could not find it.

This sounds like an interesting story! There are themes like that within the heroic story arc in The Expanse and Babylon 5 as well. The ultimate hero: someone who sacrifices themselves for the betterment of others and not only receives no recognition for it, but is villainized for their efforts. It's a bittersweet tale.
