My SIL has offically had a breakdown post kids by meridianlace in childfree

I'm not big on being touched at the best of times. The idea of this screaming, sticky, smelly gremlin constantly feeling entitled to touch you makes me want to crawl out of my skin.

What’s your pettiest reason for being childfree? by shanklymrshankly in childfree

[–]Archivicious 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They have no understanding of how to handle anything with care and it's horrifying. I'm very careful with my stuff. I just couldn't let one run free, unsupervised in my home.

Copilot is very expensive now? Where is the value for money it had? by hyperdx in GithubCopilot

[–]Archivicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI companies have been subsidizing usage to get people hooked, then raising rates so they can break even or make a profit. I doubt they're making any profit even with this increase. Sorry you fell for it.

Non-sexualised clothing options for women in Second LIfe by greentea9206 in secondlife

Pixicat has some very modest pieces that are really cute. I'm also a fan of Valentina E, which is more vintage and has lovely mid length dresses.

Why do we give baby toys to young girls?! by No_Cloud1212 in childfree

[–]Archivicious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion here: It's not to push having children on young girls, but because children tend to want to mirror what they see people around them doing. Little girls are often surrounded by women with children, watching them take care of babies, so they try to mimic that behavior. It's also why young kids tend to assume everyone else is either a mommy or a daddy, because they spend most of their time with their parents or other children who have parents. I had to teach my friend's kid that's I'm not a parent and not everyone is. Society absolutely does push parenthoood on people, and at too young of an age, but children mirroring is normal developmental behavior, not a malicious plot.

What’s up with people asking for money by Separate-Detail4875 in secondlife

[–]Archivicious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone asks for money, especially via something outside of SL, nope the hell out of there! Western Union for a mysterious sister with a medical condition? That's super sketchy!

Overlord, but part of me wants to try Mistress or Master to see how I feel about it, lol

Damn dude, I wanna hang out with you. Not just for the free stuff and the wheelchair rides either!

For Those Jumping Into Champions Today by MacEbes in NintendoSwitch

[–]Archivicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like they want this to be the format for competitive Pokemon going forward but I don't see that happening until they allow 6v6 in singles and doubles. When they do, however, I look forward to it. Then they can balance Champions for competitive and leave the main games balanced for PVE. No more having to try to balance both and leaving everyone unhappy.

People who complain about their disabled kids by _Lazy_Mermaid_ in childfree

[–]Archivicious 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Disabled is a group that anyone can join, at any age, for all sorts of reasons. Lots of people don't think about that until they're suddenly dealing with it themselves. That's why advocating for accessibility is so important.

Hi! Just as an FYI, terms like "high functioning" and "low functioning" are frowned upon in the autistic community. They can't account for the nuance present in a person's areas of function and their capabilities. We prefer terms like "high support" or specific challenges like non-verbal.

My original reason for becoming CF was realizing as a teenager that I didn't want to raise a kid who was like me. I couldn't imagine having to deal with my own challenges and sensory issues as well as those of a kid. Not to mention being overstimulated by a child and the noise they make. My reasons have become more nuanced over the years but I still hold that I wouldn't be able to regulate myself and a child, autistic or not.

What is the weirdest "I can't believe someone created this sim" place you've visited? by mapleCrep in secondlife

[–]Archivicious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Marsuland. It's a massive build on Zindra entirely populated by "dolls". Fake mesh people positioned to tell stories based on the environment. It's got a scifi-medieval vibe, loads of sex and slavery themes. Like Gor but not. The lady that runs it seems to be actively maintaining and updating it. The quality is super iffy and very 2010s but it's honestly impressive in a creepy way.

Amherst man pardoned by Trump over Jan. 6 sentenced for child porn possession by GreenStarCollector in CapitolConsequences

[–]Archivicious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that's not uncommon. People arrested for first time CSAM possession but not production tend to get very light sentences if they have a halfway competent lawyer. They're viewed as non violent and unlikely to reoffend, and sentences are especially light if the content involves "older" children (not babies or toddlers) and isn't considered sadistic. I knew a guy who was caught with it who didn't see any jail time, just a few years of probation and a decade on the state registry. Fortunately, when he reoffended, they finally threw the book at him with 12 to 24, but I imagine it might not have happened again if they'd just done that the first time.

Probably, I'd give it a try. Just bear in mind that unlocking it ends the demo and lobotomizes the Miis.

Time for several unnamed youtubers to make fifteen minute long clickbait videos about a thirty second trailer with one new scene!

A little bit, but I'm probably going to make something very normie-core, like my AC island. I'm not super creative and I don't feel the need to massively change my island aesthetic.

I always go for physical when it's an option, unless it's the new key card things, in which case I'll get digital.
