I'm going to find myself an SL man-whore.


Damnit, quit drawing attention to this, the higher demand is causing them to raise their prices! :mad:

These are excellent suggestions, apart from this "saving" thing, which sounds almost responsible. Oh no, hold on, isn't saving your welfare bad in some way because it reduces liquid currency flow or some such bollocks? Whatever, it annoys freebie sellers so I'll approve.

A new tagline has come to mind.

Can I buy 50 Linden Lottery tickets with mine? If so, I'll blow all my welfare money on lottery tickets, just like real life :D

I too,... plus even cheaper women.


I'm but a basic account (not cost effective for our household to have 2 premium accounts). I have to make do with only beer and cigarettes - I guess I'll have to wait til next week for the cheaper men. *sigh*
The things I do for love...

I dunno, when I find the part of my stipend that is welfare, I'll start looking for an honest capitalist who never complained about the bush guyall look for a hard working business person who did not download everything from turbosquid, or sell off someone else's work.

I'm giving mine to my slumlord.

(I'm just kidding! To stay with the theme here! But yes, I'm giving it to Nexus as I always do.)

Depending on what each linden goes where, it is either uploading textures for my tiny little clothes business like a good little capitalist, or stuffing it into some DJ's tip jar dispite the fact he has been playing the same songs that always get played at that club.

Man, I hate tipjars, but that's another topic for another day.

So how will the rest of you worthless workshy parasites be spending your money? Extra points if it frustrates the efforts of honest capitalists and promotes socialism and/or idleness!



Please please tell me what would piss you off the most for me to buy with my undeserved welfare monies and I'm there with cash in hand. :rolleyes:

With my newfound riches, I plan on buying a pixelated Escalade and pimping it out with prim gold spinners and a kick ass bumpin stereo system. While I ride around SL I will pick up some Suicide Girls, and Ingrid and go look for Manwhores, then we can make a website and talk about how well they can cyber. Or something like that...

I spend all my money at "Preen".


You forgot the a**terisks.

I'm buying enough vodka to anesthetize a rogue elephant... and setting Aimee traps all over SL.

I dunno, I might need to borrow from some of you. Don't know if L$500 is enough for that.

All my stipends belong to Panache, I'm trying to find a way for LL to split my stipend between Hosie and Zyrra and they can just send me all their new stuff every week :D

Maybe. Are you offering? :p I do have this handy tee shirt, after all:


It's misleading, though. I can't script my way out of a paper bag. :(

Since it's for a good cause, I'll give you what's left over of my L$50 after the cheap beer and cheaper cigarettes :D

Maybe it's sinus pressure from endless clouds of pollen from cedar trees in Texas, or maybe things just suck, or maybe because I have been complaining about the people who complain in the forums, maybe that 75 dollar lot maintenance fee is starting to bug me.... either way everything just sucks in SL. No, really, everything sucks linden dollars.

To upload, I have to pay, to take a picture I have to pay, to list my lot in FIND, I have to pay, to post a classified I have to pay and to be even in the first half of the classifieds list, I have to pay a LOT more. PAY PAY PAY PAY.... All of this is happening while Dwell is being taken away, bonuses are non-existent, voting for places has been taken away. If you're a builder and what you build is well buildings and you're not intending to sell them -- you're pretty much screwed.

I am sorry, I don't want to design shoes; I am not interested in creating bling for bling crazy blingtards, I have no interest in pixel pushing in SL(since I do it in RL) to make mindless quantities of dresses for the slutty escorts brigade. I am tired of rude people that were not here 2 years go -- where did they come from? I am tired of everyone thinking that they can build just because they can link 4 prims and place a llROT script on them.

The only people getting by without paying anything are the ALTS people have and those are no good after you've successfully purchased a First land, and then sold it back to your own real Avatar. I guess time to get another ALT account huh.

And I still do not understand why the free members are getting a stipend. If I had like 5 alts that would mean I would be making L$2500 a week. And yeah that's a dismal quantity of real money I can make selling lemonade for 5 minutes on any college campus.

So yeah, everything sucks. It all sucks. It's all a blackhole worth of suction power packed into a handful of sims. I wonder how much liquor you could get for $75 a month.... would it keep me more entertained than all of this?

I wonder...

You are what's wrong with the automotive world, virtual or otherwise. :p

(Between the blingtards, ricers, and beaners [like ricers, but with a Mexican accent] around here, there's enough to drive me batshit insane... erm, moreso, rather. :D )

As for the fate of my stipend, ale and whores.

I'll be adding mine to the giant pile-o-money in my cave so I can dive in headfirst and swim around in it uncle scrooge mcduck style.
