holy necropost....as to making friendships the easy answer to that is stop trying. I am being serious there. Just chat to people, don't necessarily wait for them to talk to you. Find something in a profile makes you curious....im and ask. Talk in local. Friendships are not something you can seek out they are something that happen when you are chatting to someone and find the chat keeps going

My point was really too many will look at the two examples and think my side right because its my side. I personally think both are wrong

and leftist councils in the country I live believe its right to separate adopted children from their adopted families after years after the parents express support for parties that are perfectly legal but that the left think are bad. What is the difference? Both sets of "The other side are evil" is no different

While I wont particulary express my personal political views here and I have friends on what i think of as both the left and right what I would say is you are mistaking omething. You say these trump supporters have hateful political views. You do realise they probably think the same about yours? Sadly politics is polarised these days their is your side and the other. You can monster the other and call them names like fascist, or commie. It doesnt mean they are it just means you disagree with them and are polarised to such an extent you can only see those that dont agree with you as the enemy. it is not healthy

I am a regular man...but then I eat plenty of fibre nods

For me personally 0$ is more than I am willing to pay if I have to pick a second name of a list, besides I always refer to people by their display names (when I can read them) so it seems to me does just about everybody else I meet. I suspect however the labs will, as in their way, go for maximum outrage by starting charging 40 then when the name changes slow down reduce to 30, then 20 etc upsetting all who paid more

Then put your money where your mouth is, its a simple premise

going to put some numbers up just to be controversial and point out something taking worst case a sim costs 300us$ = 30 x 2500 L$ = 75000 l$ a month a "popular sim has 100 regular visitors. To keep the sim there they only need to contribute 750 l$a month each in tips or a little less than 200 l$ a week dont know about most here but I certainly spend more than that on tips on a night out dancing So my response to people like the op is if people actually cared about these sims they would be funded. If they arent then frankly no one cares and they may as well just be returned to the pool till someone creates something people do want

simple solution when you go somewhere if you want it kept pay to its upkeep, most have tip jars....dont want to pay then obviously its not worth that much to you. Sims that pay their way will continue. Those people dont value enough to pay for will die as they should

The only problem is schmeckles are limited to region size or smaller sadly

NO! I am the real Scylla Rhiadra

How is it rubbing it in? People are welcome to put it in just some people will pass them over because of it. If you want to rub you will need to try harder.

And when you goto a store that wishlist is there for a reason usually, birthday, wedding etc. You are totally shouting the link out when you put it in your profile which is available to anyone to look at. Not shouting it out would be having it available in case anyone says, I want to buy you something. What you are doing is the equivalent in rl of printing the url to a wishlist at a store on a tshirt in the hope random strangers will buy you stuff

Ok try a simple experiment, come up with a list of 10 items you want in rl with links to shops where they are ordered then email it to 30 or 40 of your friends letting them know its just in case they want to buy you something. See what reaction you get. It amounts to the same thing. Also as I said I have always found those that have a wishlist in their profiles quite forward at letting you know for the most part ranging from "We have been chatting half an hour and you havent bought me anything, are you wasting my time?" . To the subtle "just so you know I have a link to my wishlist in my profile if you ever feel generous" . Are they all like that? Probably not. Are they mostly like that in my experience yes.

If I talk to these people with my red flags on their profile and 90% of time I find it a waste of time I could be using to talk to someone else that I would enjoy. All of the red flags on my list except the obvious ones have got there by experience that I am wasting my time talking to them on the whole. For example I found early on that within the first 30 minutes of chatting that people with a wishlist in their profiles would manage to point out to me it was there.

They are acting like one by making it known they would like to be given free stuff. Seems the very definition of being a beggar to me

As to the first, I distinctly said SL because its a totally different situation. No one here needs anything, they may want it and they also have tools they can use to get the money for it from working/that linden game/sploders etc. I agree active beggars are even worse in the virtual world and I also agree the wishlist does me no harm by being there. I never said it did. However if I am reading your profile as a stranger then I am reading it to decide whether I want to talk to you or not. Now I will talk to most people who im me, I will also reach out an im someone however I will always check their profile first whichever way the im originates. The whole point of a profile however is to let us know something about the person so that we can make that decision. People seem to think I am a horrible prejudging person for using a profile in just that way.

Nods and the whole point of me speaking in this thread, though it has digressed somewhat from the initial point. Was to say that while the thread contained the answer how a word of caution that some people won't bother talking to them because of it. I certainly know other people who have expressed the same views on wish lists in profiles

Do what I do, you either know what someone wants because they are a friend, you ask them what they would like as you are feeling generous or you merely say here have some lindens go buy yourself something.

I never said they were all equal Scylla, merely mentioned some of the things that just makes me ignore someone when I see it on a profile. Life is to short to bother with those people in my view and as its my time I get to choose the parameters

That is perfectly your right though I suspect all it tells you is they dont like beggars in sl rather than they are not philanthropic. I gives gifts all the time even to random strangers, I just don't do it if they come out and ask outright which is what to my mind putting a wishlist in your profile is

I really dont care whats on a wishlist, that would make no difference to me liking them or not. You may not like me prejudging you on the fact that it basically says to strangers on you profile "I want people to give me free stuff", I am sure everyone saying people shouldnt prejudge on this has things they prejudge people on due to what their profile contains I only talk to people with good mesh Some homophobic message Some sexist message some racist message I reserve the right to repost your ims and you agree to this by imming me Touch my family and you will answer to me Wishlist There that is my almost complete set. I also would bet that at least some of those will also cause the people getting on their high horse about prejudging to also avoid talking to people or in other words its fine to prejudge when its something you agree with prejudging on. Shrugs not my problem in the least. All these tell me this is a person that I am unlikely to get on with so why waste any time on them when there are plenty of other people I can be talking to instead. I will be right by avoiding them far often than I will be wrong. As I said I bump into far more people than I can talk to so like everyone I talk to people selectively. This is merely a way of winnowing the chaff from the wheat of people I will actually enjoy talking to
