Why not simply overflow her with your cum tissues? She’s your mom, so you should know her inside and out, so her buffer should be accessible. I ask for 257 tissues every day and my mom has no idea

If we really want to be pedantic, it varies moment to moment, but averages slightly below 50%

Attacking while running away is, was, and will continue to be a top-tier strategy for the next 20 years. Terrifying that a timeless strategy will be nearly completely overtaken by drone production.

Only a very minor recontrextualization, it’s largely men who date nearly exclusively through apps. From what little I’ve seen, every app appears antagonistic toward (straight) men looking to date seriously, so they believe that is the way things are irl.

The value of political discourse and dissent is inherent to the act, with it being a nearly universal litmus test for oppression. But actions with effect are a better option, always. Organizing, organizing, organizing! Ambient dissent is a great base to build off of, but it’s just the building blocks set properly, and there’s plenty already. Stack higher!

The likelihood of a person correctly opining on the president is 50/50. Effectively, there’s no benefit to piling on to the mass of muted dissent or agreement.

I completely forget that this exists for 3 years at a time. What’s more impressive than the mod is the team continuing to create it for like 10 years without simply leaving when it became difficult.

No, I had my own phone. My friend would use their burner’s pseudoanonymity on prank texts and calls before permanently discarding it. Which is funny on two counts. Firstly, because they’d largely contact the same numbers, nullifying the burner‘s obfuscation, and secondly, so consistently did they do this that the jokes were more matter of fact than surprising.

It’s likely area dependent and I’m just unlucky

I’d written many when 4chan was young and there was no truth to any of them. They were largely plagiarized from comedians and tv or my most nightmarish imaginings. The only truth to them was that I really needed to get off the internet

Yeah, I caught my mistake at some point in the last 3 days

Kids nearly got yoinked

Between the clientele and the ostracization, there’s little to be done about it. An ad in the paper doesn’t do much. Systemic change is hard, particularly for something made illegal for purely puritanical reasons.

I missed the Australia bit. What do you mean “quasi-legal”? Illegal but largely unprosecuted?

I guess if you’re in the market for cola, you’ll look for the cola with the best taste. But seeing a discontinued cola lauded as a fallen behemoth is a bit odd, from my perspective

What made you jump to corrcion? That’s a strangely massive leap. No, I’m just pointing out the absence of details and the thorough understanding of the reason for their absence. And within that void sit additional moral questions. Was she strapped for cash? Was she an addict? Was this just another Tuesday? Was she fully aware of the situation and its implications?

While sex workers range in mental health, like everyone else, they are also a fringe group with unique challenges that tend to create higher than average stress and poorer mental health. Did they backpage it? Was she solicited on the street? Was it a trip to brothel? Each one has a different implication and each one has a unique likelihood of drugs dependence, mental health disorder, extreme poverty, or undesirable living situation that might guide them toward agreeing or disagreeing to commit a felony. None of which was explicitly stated, because offering details of your underage sex crimes is just going to attract undesirable attention. Regardless of how warranted it was, it was still prosecutable and, therefore, best left vague for both the friends and the woman.

I didn’t realize how rare an understanding of the state of sex workers in the US is among the populace. If you’re in the US, I recommend volunteering with community groups and hospitals to gain some amount of firsthand perspective, if you have the capacity. We can always use the help!

The way it read, I could only infer details. Without explicit information, which only fools would offer about a crime that they avoided consequences for, there’s quite a bit of wiggle. The prostitute consented to have sex with a sick teen, but they’re not in the best place. If anything, their mental health was likely below average, considering their line of work and its challenges. Teenagers aren’t exactly the best judges, either

Unpopular opinion, but I wasn’t a fan. Was it a bad show? No! Did I enjoy it? Sometimes. How it developed the cult following that it has, I can’t quite piece together. Fantastic voice acting and sound design can only pull so much weight!

Anon got it backwards, networks noticed how profitable Netflix was and bumped the price for Netflix to stream their stuff. Netflix responded by producing their own content rather than leasing others’ at exorbitant rates. Then Netflix later got greedy and bumped their prices, lowered their quality, and cancelled all of their good shows.

They might have made or ruined that prostitute’s month. That’s a heavy situation to be introduced to. Glad the kid got some amount of comfort in his final days.
