Well, the argument is more about the power differential than the age differential, but you’re right that this seems more benign than most such scandals.

I think you are underestimating the appeal of personal connection. People pay good money for the illusion of knowing the performer, and OnlyFans is an ideal venue for that.

I’m sure Jezebel would be flattered to learn they are capable of “tanking” any candidate.

I could be totally wrong, but I read her point a little differently than you, I think.

There’s still an element of a desire to control here. At the end of the day, “I can’t reward great service” and “I can’t punish poor service” are inevitably two sides of the same coin. And if the responses here are self-reported, well, I’m not terribly surprised that a lot of people chose to present their reticence as…

I love visiting countries where tipping is not the norm, where servers make a decent wage and I don’t have to act like some nobleman handing out largesse.

Just pay the people, damn it.

Have to agree. I would rather knowingly pay 20% more up front for a meal, than deal with tips.

Yeah, this is a pretty weak lineup. I mean the corn is just corn, and it doesn’t even come with a plastic bucket for the Sweet Martha’s. Giving you instructions on microwaving a corn dog...

Imagine telling on yourself this hard by thinking a woman with a wet pussy has a medical condition.

Really? I read it immediately as making fun of white people who minimize the problems black people face (and are the majority of supporters for the anti-science GOP). 

If you “have to explain this comic because everyone is getting it wrong”, you didn’t do it right. That said, her explanation was great.  She should do a comic that relays that message.
I don’t find it offensive and I assume the complaints came from either virtue signaling liberals or disingenuous conservatives.

It reads as a jab at dumbass white ladies to me, and how they will try to run other people’s lives

“No, no...if you check the X vs Y axis, you’ll see the error. You can’t compare world population to US infections. It’s not a valid statement.” Trump: “Axes? This is a paper with lines on it. Good lines. Lines going up means good things. There’s no axes.” (chuckles) “You would have done real bad on that test I aced,…

I have to commend Jonathan Swan for how well he handled this. I watched it last night; I could not stomach all of it, but I did get through most of it.

I dunno what the fuck is going on around here all of a sudden...but I ain’t sayin’ no either.

The underlying issue is that the vast majority of the current media/press aren’t journalists.

I could see it being useful for whole spices, like peppercorns, star anise, cloves, cinnamon stick pieces. Mulled wine and the like.

you know those useless tea balls that are two halves of a mesh sphere, with a springy mechanism that lets you open and close them and play Pac Man and annoy your sibling for HOURS when you find one at gramma’s?

I admit this does work. In a pinch you can just do this with plain water in a microwave safe cup. No need to buy a lemon - I know we don’t often have lemons sitting around in the kitchen.

What? He’s not claiming that he can’t throw because of bone spurs in his wrists? Or that no mere human catcher could catch his pitch because he throws harder than any pitcher in the history of baseball or really any sport, including ones with no ball or that haven’t even been invented yet?
