Well, I’ve now thought for that past two adminsteation that nothing meaningful can be done long-term until private money can be removed from politics altogether. To speak pragmatically, as you point out people want “gotta make ends meat” policy that impacts them meaningfully and immediately… and that’s gonna take a lot more than some $1000 one-time tax-credit.

Arguably, I’ve transcended “frustration”, though and I’m no longer convinced the Democrat party does anything but act as the controlled opposition party that is meant to crush any sort leftist movement. I sincerely doubt they will ever meaningfully address campaign-finance again in my life. The half-measures that they are known for are no longer adequate, but as long as they hold primaries I will cast my vote even though the establishment has already picked someone else. -A democratic system, indeed.

Here’s pragmatic, democratic Idea: Host all primary votes on the same day.

What if it wasn’t discrimination based on sexual orientation, but instead it was cronyism? Do we have regulations against that at the federal…

Nevermind.

I wonder if it can even be a live interview or if jon will have to do an offsite recorded interview like all of the ones on his pevious show.

These plans and ideas sound eerily similar to the ones I hear or read every election cycle. What about them would be significantly different this next time around?

Are suggesting that there were no progressives that ran in the last Democrat Primary?

-I ask because I voted for one, but I was only allowed to after the presidential candidate had been selected.

Hey, I like to think that sometimes I might feel the need to write remarkably similar sentences to the kinds that you, u/bearboiblake might have referenced in this particular editorial expression of human nature and sentiment in America, today.

-You know, badly,

It’s not my fault. I voted for Kodos.

I beleive that’s called a Malapropism A favorite malapropism of mine is “We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it.”

I think you hit the nail on the head about the power-dynamic and pretense. Regardless, I hope you at least keep talking about it to people who would try not to judge. I think sitting and dwelling on that kind of trauma, or even ignoring it can cause all sorts of problems.

i agree.

Your not the only propagandists I’m responding to and your intial comment is clearly referencing some of my replies to other people. I’m already good enough. Quit projecting.

Russia invaded and i think the west didn’t care until we were out of our other forever wars and we needed a new way to keep the military industrial complex afloat.

I didn’t want to make assumptions on your initial comment as i didn’t know if you were referring to yourself as a full-service sex worker or were using the term under the more general definition applied to strippers, adult film stars, and cam-models, etc. I’ve never hired a hooker, before but visiting Pahrump Nevada, or the red light district of the Netherlands is still on my bucket list.

-That said, having your own personal choice and control over the situation taken away either by guys trying to “stealth” you or to take advantage of a desperate situations at the potential expense of your health is an awful thing to do to someone else. I can only speculate as to what each of your clients wanted that they couldn’t get from a toy. If i’m asked to return to your earlier question of what’s the difference between a human sex worker and a robot, I guess I’d respond by asking what’s the difference between non-sex worker and a robot?

While the work may not be 1:1 to you I can say with regards to strippers there’s still a kind of nonemotional intimacy, and the workers get to express their personalities which made things fun. I don’t know if you got a chance to do any of that or not.

–Are you able to seek counseling for this? Regardless of what I’ve said, that’s some pretty heavy trauma you seem to be trying to make sense of. It could be beneficial to work through it with someone that has more formal training and a deeper knowledge for learning how to cope with these kind of things.

Thank you for posting a source but that article suggests that the EU surpassed the US in support because we started to withhold some support mid 2023. I guess this means my comment wasn’t the most apropriately timed but I’m not opposed to having a reduced support roll from when this started.

Ukraine’s not a member of NATO and i never disputed who the primary aggressor was in this war.

I never defended russia. quit makin’ shit up. also, unlike you bots, I have to sleep sometimes.

“what’s the appeal?”

Of a sex worker or a robot?

basically it boils down to skin-on-skin human contact versus a toy in this case. Did you never ask a client/partner/audience member? I assume reasons may vary. -I personally think the nature of the (business) relationship to be low-pressure and relatively straight-forward. -That is if we are to contrast it with the dating experience for the average man. Not everybody is relationship material, regardless.

Last I checked Hochul unilaterally neutered New Yorks bill just before signing it to law. Do we know that the bills in the other states havent been rendered effectively useless as well?

how many bobbins of thread and square feet of fabric does it take to pay the wages of 2400 people?

anecdotally I have made multiple trips to buy supplies from joanns but I’d be surprised if the net profit made off of my purchases surpassed $5 combined.

I can not.
