Free from the all the pain, Free from all the game

Why is honesty such a difficulty for a large number of people online? Now, there are several degrees of deceit, a spectrum if you will. It seems to me that sometimes people want to please so they tell you what they think you want to hear. We can call them white lies and I think that many people do this without even realising a) that they are doing it and b) the impact that maintaining those lies can have. Some people aren’t honest because they want to keep certain aspects of their real life to themselves. We all want a certain level of anonymity online and it’s our right to do so but personally I’d rather someone said that they don’t feel comfortable revealing information rather than making up ‘alternative facts’.

Over my years on SL I’ve encountered untruths at both ends of the spectrum from people who have faked their own rl deaths to dating someone for a year who lied about almost every aspect of their real life, right down to their real first name, to what I’ve almost come to consider low level lying about whether they are an alt or single in either life. How can we trust people online when such a large number of people can’t manage to be straight, direct and honest?

About the Stuff:

MINIMAL has been expanding their product range recently coming up with a couple of awesome clothing lines and a great range of photography backdrops. There’s are 4 new backgrounds available at the latest round of Uber which opened on Saturday.

I loved the KITJA offerings at Uber too with this hooded jacket being one of them. It’s available in a range of light pastel colours as well as mono colours. Each jacket comes with a hud to change the metal textures and there is a net style top that sits underneath which can also be coloured changed or removed (as shown).  It comes in fits for Belleza Freya and Isis, Slink Hourglass and Original and Maitreya Lara (worn)

The pants are from Lapointe and Bastchild who join Uber for this round with a very detailed and multi-functional pants pack. L & B are one of the most value for money designers on the grid. These pants come with a hud that’s jam packed with options under the 4 change tabs there are:

• Metals – 5 options to change the metal textures
• Leather – 13 different leather textures
• Leather Mix – 11 different options to mix leathers on various parts of the pants
• Denim Mix – 12 options to mix leather and denim on the pants

In addition the pants come in classic mesh fit, Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus, Slink Original and Hourglass and Maitreya Lara.
