Just musing while fixing some texture seamage.

Yes, sweatshops. Some one has to be making all those clothes, so lets put those campers to work :D

Now there's a thought. I've seen campers digging in gardens, washing windows, sweeping, playing music, etc. How about a camping animation that shows people cutting material and sewing? You could make a whole factory of them for hours of fun.

I am NoT advocating for more campers - I just think if people insist on having them, they should add to the ambiance of the area. Nothing is uglier than walking into a place full of AFK people on dance pads and lounging in chairs. Well, okay, the spinning ad farms are uglier, but not by much.

Is Nike in world yet? If not, I'm sure the sweatshops will arrive with them.

Given the sorts of prices people typically charge for products and services within SL work out for the majority of inhabitants to give then a return for their efforts at much less than any national minimum wage, I thought the whole of SL was a sweatshop?

Well I'm doing my share of camping right now, but I'm new and am still testing textures. Got to pay for them uploads some how; well at least no out of pocket ;)

I was at a store last night (made men I think? ) and when I went into the street I saw a tag floating over a dumpster. When I investigated further, there was a guy laying on his back at the bottom of the dumpster....I imagine earling lindens?

I asked him "Dude...are you ok?" ...no answer

lol

He wasn't earning Lindens. He WAS a Linden. Or perhaps a Tabloid TV reporter.
