Never smack your kids in public
Because someone will turn you in Linden. Or more importantly it just looks bad. The week the BBC does a serious hit on you is when people are looking. The very week you repaid the mentors and pissed off anyone who isn't a total sell-out whore with Xstreet changes.
What do the people who decide to see what ever became of Second Life for themselves see?
They see you Linden. And the irony? Nothing in that article was damaging. We can all agree on the over-hype and unsustainable peak.
Perhaps no one reads the BBC or uses Google to see what is up with the old grid. Because if they do, they might find out just what ever did happen to Second Life.
Oh how I feel
The less swift of us feel a lot. Watch Jerry Springer. The most intelligent of us think a lot. Watch PBS.
In his take on Xstreet Beatdown 2009, Dusan uses "ubiquitous" more than once (which I am banned by the Slow Blogger Act of 1984 from using even once) to say the same thing people who think too much always do. Look at me, I am so very clever.
As I understand it (and to a larger extent I do not) this article somehow finds a path to meshes, copy protection, and perfume capsules he says you get at the mall for free (I don't, but he apparently does). Also I think having too much chair choice is bad or something. I had to take a few breaks to read it all.
Tater Tot
In what our military advisor, retired army colonel Maxwell Vinegar is calling a brilliant yet troubling three prong attack, Colonel's Prok forces have disengaged Dale's battered forces and launched an assault on Tateru Nino.
Prok doesn't ask. Prok tells Ms. Tateru to act in her capacity as Grand Kanga Girl of NCI and order Imnotgoing Sideway to leave Woodbury or Prok will do some crazy shit. She will no longer accept NCI's money for rentals.
So, this week has all led to this. Dale was just a stop on the road to objective Imnotgoing Sideway which may be just a stop leading to the total destruction of Prok's business should she not learn to smile when you operate the cash register because the guy you hate is handing you money.
Ms. Biter, Your table for one is ready
I like this take on XStreet since it speaks the truth about how they controlled our minds. Linden Bears. Those bitches.
If they just were not so damn cute I could resist.
You know how they come out with event bears like SL6B Bear? If they had one called "Xstreet Fucks You Good Bear" that was bent over crying as it was ass-raped by a big X to mark the free item changes I would still collect it.

wow!! Is this the storm or the allusion of the coming storm? I mean there are two things and the timing, Prok's attacks on Dale, and then xstreet damnit bastards!!! I'm sooooooo angry and yet, I know, I can just walk away, but then why would I want to do that? I want to be milked and see if their scam is going to actually work for the future of selling more goods, of course, I mean they couldn't mean any harm, could they?
Buzz!! obviously I have my head too far up my own virtual arse!!!
As is normal, the first wave of loud anger has passed and now the Linden apologists who would write a defense masked as intellectual discussion if they were caught in a motel with their dick in an underage tranny hooker who ODed on smack have started to position themselves as the voice of reason. Whenever some talks to the masses saying they know what is best since they are a doctor or whatever is the time to panic.
Prok is is not done. Tate will not back down. I know her to be firm to her core values even if a few of them need some review. Woodbury has had their fun, but they are tormenting another human for their own amusement now. If NCIs mission statement is to provide guidance, it is incumbent on Tate to provide oversight or she needs to step the fuck down. To do otherwise could damage what is a decent organization.
They have played into Prok’s game so many times. Day one of chalk I would of come out and made a statement saying I found it disgusting and would not tolerate from my team. Of course I would have done nothing. Their refusal to even pretend to be above this is hubris I do not see often. Rising above Prok doesn’t take a lot of mature actions and they can’t hack that. It’s as if even being questioned is below them.
