I think that some of that just stems from their sense of entitlement. When you live a consequence free life you don’t developp any skills in risk management.

This - this right here. I believe sex work is work and like any other job there are age limits. If you aren’t old enough to consent for free you can’t consent for pay. 

I have no doubt that this is retribution from Rep. Cheney. Remember, not only did Gaetz call her out for voting against Trump he went to Wyoming to campaign with her primary challenger immediately afterwards. A lot of what has come out was common knowledge amongst Republicans in Congress... all it would take was to…

The problem is that it is likely that Gaetz paid underage sex workers. That should not be destigmatized. 

What’s great is that at one meeting they tried to play it cool and pay with cash - but the investigation has records of them withdrawing the cash from atm in Hotel lobby!

We really need to destigmatize sex work. As gross as having sex with matt gaetz is, even for-profit. That said, I really, really hope he gets everything that’s coming to him.

And he paid them using Apple Pay! If you’re going to do something illegal at least don’t leave easy to find digital receipts. The astonishing stupidity of these people never ceases to amaze.

Israel’s “right to exist” is a meaningless red herring. If someone asks you whether Israel has a “right to exist,” I’m not saying you should start looking to see if they have a “Facts don’t care about your feelings” t-shirt or Bari Weiss Substack subscription, but you’re at least dealing with someone with such fucked…

To sum up:

Jesus, these two guys side by side on split screen - it’s like staring into a douchebag sun. So painful.

My partner and I were talking last night about how there are still adults out there that believe in Noah’s ark and virgin births and people turning into pillars of salt. And then I thought of all the things we need to do as a society that need scientific discourse, and I got a bit depressed.

The areligious population is growing. Would be nice if we could actually build a political voting bloc that could go up against Pence/Noem. But, White atheist dude bros like Bill Maher/Joe Rogan/Dawkins ruined atheism with the misogyny, racism, islamophobia, transphobia and the general assholery.

Dunno about any of my atheist sisters and brothers out here, but shit like this is always hilarious to me. Up until a fanatic like Pence or Noem start pushing laws.

Omg its so good:

Mercedes: The $30k-$35k target was to buy the vehicle, not the annual maintenance bill.

Really bad, arguably dangerous advice. I am all for ending the stigma, but that can’t come at the cost of obfuscating the risk factors at play, or denying individuals the right to informed consent.

Just because someone’s viral load was undetectable last month or last week doesn’t mean they are today. Not disclosing HIV status is a lie by omission.  Let the partner consent to whatever risk they are OK with after full disclosure.

#1) Fuck & yes he should disclose. You’re banging, to say nothing of the year dating. WTF, Dan Savage?

You can’t believe everything you read on public transport.
