I kind of want to share it to TAY with no explanation...
we do exist...
"Awkward silence" isn't the name given to any moment of silence ever. Then it's just regular old "silence."
I'm really curious how you came to the conclusion that megamarcx84 is the troll here, and not Iblza.
It kills me when commenters (I'm thinking more of the Slate piece than here) begrudge poor people their little indulgences, like whining about how they still buy cigarettes or get an expensive haircut. They'd have so much more compassion if they tracked how many times a day they delegate hated chores, have devices or…
Gilbert had the gall to spend $87 on a haircut in the same scene where she laments forgoing her own prescriptions because they cost too much
Completely agree. There are countless people for whom sleep isn't an option until it's physically impossible not to function. And they aren't doing this for a badge. They are doing it to survive.
I have...acquaintances...friends of friends who like to say such charming things like:
Sadly, there's a similar dynamic in how gay men tend to look at gay porn performers, especially if you express concern for the safety for performers who don't use condoms.
On a personal level I got treated like shit by people who thought that sex work was a lazy option, like you were cheating the system in some way. Some clients could be a bit nasty because they felt insecure or guilty about paying for sex so they took it out on you. This especially happened with guys who weren't…
Somebody nailed their own child to a cross, and there are buildings in his honor on nearly every block in America, not to mention that shiny city in Rome; so...
YES. Waiters may get a minimum $ per hour, but strippers *pay the club* to work that night!
If you're at the stage, you tip or risk getting thrown out (maybe sorta kinda: the manager is usually a man who will take a male customer's side over the girls he's supposedly working for, as long as it doesn't impact his personal cash flow). If you're not at the stage, it's a little more of a gray area, but generally…
i hope he's not your bf anymore
My therapist in sex offender therapy said the same thing, then when I compared it to the people talking bad about the Duke University porn star, he changed in demeanor. Then he made up something about how she hurts people (her family).
I've only been a few times, but I feel as though you should give at least a dollar for every dance if you're at the stage. I've never sat anywhere other than the stage so I don't know how the rules change, but I do think it's shitty to intentionally sit somewhere to have to pay the dancers less. Of course there are…
The other day I tried to show my boyfriend a Reddit AMA from a really articulate adult actress. I thought she was funny and engaging, but he wrote her off and said if she were that smart, she wouldn't be giving fellatio on film. But he wasn't that sweet. I was really appalled. So she's the greatest thing in human…
I've been arguing with someone who constantly says I need to respect someone specifically for her determination to belittle and punish people for things beyond their control/decide that suicidal people ALL feel one certain way, the way she did for one day after a bad reaction to anesthesia.
