Way to self-out, huh?


Oh, there's a lot of self-outing going on in that thread. A whole lot of run-on sentences too.

I sure hope that they deal with the guy flat-out threatening Lo and others.

I'm not sure how we'd manage it. :p

Edit: Come to think of it, all you have to do is go to one of those prim-baby clinics and ask. Then we can have our little bundle of inert prim-constructed half-drow joy after all. Oh, the miracle of SL pregnancy! ;)

Your joking right? Surely you are not that much of an ass to believe what you just typed... That just "Americans" think a tip should be given and take offense when its not..
Right your joking?


Actually, expecting tips as a requirement, from what I've read around the topic, is typically American. This isn't meant as an attack on American waiters and waitresses, but on the system itself. In most countries, these workers are actually paid a proper living (albeit low) wage by their employers. As nearly as I can tell, it is only in the US where a waiter who never received tips would actually starve.

I've spoken to friends who went to bars in the US and got cold looks when they didn't tip the bar staff. You try tipping bar staff in the UK, and the likely response would be utter confusion from them, followed by a swift grab for the money in case anyone sees it.

In Japan, I know of NO bar or restaurant (no respectable one anyway) where tipping is encouraged either.

For more unintelligible posts, check out this link: /invalid_link.html

The thing I have to wonder is, did this person drop out of school right after elementary, or is this person not really an adult? This is by far the most extreme example of bastardized English I have ever seen from someone that is supposed to be an adult.

Now to what this thread is actually about: I've been making clothing based off computer generated textures--fractals, etc., political statements and strange texts, and I've not set anything up that would really allow me to make money from this clothing--yet. So far I've just been giving people copies of my shirts. It's going to be interesting to see how it pans out when I start trying to make money from them. Thanks for the warnings of what not to do. :)

I would like to point out that you made the statement "how typical American". That is what I took offense to, the flipant derogatory tone you used.

I am sure a flipant derogatory term can be made for any nationality, but I did expect members of a community consisting of various cultures would not be making digs like this..


It wasn't Warda who said that at all, but Musuko Massiel.

It /is/ part of American culture in a way that it's not part of any other culture I've been around.

Once again Ask the Editor has been called in to save your eyes and brains from trying to translate the quagmire.

After:
I have spoken to the Lindens about your post and they've asked me file an abuse report.

I don't understand why you are calling me all these names when you don't even know me. I've done nothing wrong. Anything I've done was an innocent mistake, but I see that doesn't matter to you. Do you act like this in real life? Do you spend your time libeling people like me? I thought that Onall understood where I was coming from, why don't you, if you sent her?

As an island owner, I'm invested in SL. These accusations have cost me a lot of $L and trust. I think you are going way overboard on this issue and that we could settle it face-to-face.

All this SL stuff is causing stress in my real life which is already stressful enough. Let's stop this.

-------------------------------------

Everytime I see a post like this I think Jeraldo has come to the forums. If only someone would rip off some clothes to make it more interesting. Nipples please!!

Aside from the fact that (1) personal shit is against the TOS and (2) we're only watching the carnage because we're bored -- it's so much more effective to eviscerate your enemies with good spelling, punctuation, grammer and imagery.

My current favorite descriptive line is "unlike other vampires, her fangs were in her vagina." Please consider spending some time coming up with quotable descriptions of your opponent.

Thank you.

The Editor

How typically American: expecting tips, as if they are a requirement, not an option, when being served.

A donation doesn't have to be paid. It is optional.

Musuko.


Iunderstand what you're saying here.. but the girl was (is american) I did say the donation was required. Honestly, knowing sooooo many forgien people i kind of get used to the tip thing outside of the usa, so it doesn't bother me as much as most, it was the fact that she did say she would give me something in return, i wouldn't care if it was just a referral, or just a little less rude of an attitude would be nice. but it's all good now i'm donating the hair to all the freebie stores i can find, anyone know of any good ones? and does anyone want a copy of the hair? no donation required :P

Um, Musuko, please tell me that this statement doesn't apply to the way you tip waiters and delivery drivers IRL.


Felix, to my knowledge, there are a *lot* of countries out there where tipping is not the rule. I'm in Australia and generally you tip for good service, not because it is expected. If Musuko *is* Japanese, then it is actually considered really rude to tip - it just isn't done in Japan.

Treating the customs of your family, village or country as the universal norm is a sure hallmark of people who need to get out more.

Yeah, I know that now, according to another post in this thread. Doesn't change the fact that tipping IS the rule in the US, though (though it might explain why foreigners usually don't tip for squat).
