There was another one once, pornlemmy. Not sure what killed it, but it also no longer exists.

Mark Robert is a good one. Most of his stuff is made for kids around that age.

I was working from home for a couple of years and had a mixed appreciation for it. While I was still driving my wife to her job in the morning, it was nice to come home and start my day. Less gas and all that. But not having coworkers around, and not enough separation from the home space sent me stir-crazy often. My wife had a ride home from work since my schedule went past hers, and I would be trying to go places or something after work and she just wanted to chill after her retail management day. But since I was laid off and had to re-enter retail management myself, I wouldn’t mind a hybrid situation if I had the choice.

With kielbasa and cabbage. Yummy.

Much of what you said I agree with, but let me say that an independent license with less restrictions will be way more favorable and harder to secure than a location license. An independent license should not remove regulations, but remove security. Being licensed through a house should guarantee the availability of condoms and such, security personnel, testing, and so on. An independent license should require std testing regularly, but also means a John/Jane has to sign a waiver that they understand this is an independent.

I also would like to state that a house should never be run like strip clubs are where the strippers are independent contractors who have to pay the club. Workers should be employees just like ia regular job. Just a license.

Another point should be that a worker needs to be responsible for their own license renewal. The license for renewal (on time) should be free if you are in a house, and tied to the company that owns the house. If a worker gets a better offer at another company, a new license is required, but not if it’s a transfer of locations within a company.

And in the point of the company, there should be limitations on how many houses they can own, and how many workers in each house. Maybe that can be at a local level, like I can’t have a house called Billy’s House of Poon right across the street from another place I own called Madam Sapphire Day Spa. Zoning laws. I live in an area that saw an explosion of dispensaries after weed went legal, and now most of them are all owned by corporations that have no problem opening new shops in the same market. Avoid that.

I could go on, build out a framework for all the legal stuff, but I’ll keep it simple.

Regulated with provisions for safety. I’m all for the idea it should be in a specific license location, like love hotels or massage parlors or something like that. No going to someones house or a different hotel.

I volunteer for a museum, and sometimes it is like a camp for adults. It’s a flight museum and we maintain antique aircraft in a flyable state. Sometimes I get to fly, and I’m always finding opportunities to tell people about how awesome these planes are, and the history behind them. And what I have heard from others, different museums are just the same, like being in camp.

Ask her what “value” is.

Needs me a recipe

High sugar makes me tired, and if I don’t drink plenty of water, I wake up with a headache similar to a hangover.

I know you said you can’t leave because of family and stuff, but you do need to be somewhere that will get you away from the abuse you are getting. Get an apartment in your town, that’s a good start. And travel to the closest city to you. Central Ohio? I was in Columbus recently and was really digging it out there. Take a day trip or two every so often. Get out of that atmosphere.

I will agree there. But the mining and manufacturing potential is rather insane. We could make money back rather quickly.

I’m glad to see that we are moving forward with it, I just would rather it not be by Elon. But he has the tools to get it done.

I think a moon colony was possible at minimum the mid 90’s. I only think bureaucracy got in the way along with a very stunted space shuttle.

Will Ferrell is garbage unless he is doing voice work. The only live action of his I liked is the little bit in the LEGO movie where he was the dad.

Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic. Dude had to play a super nerdy doctor, basically a wet noodle. Let’s cast a guy with a nine inch neck and could actually water his way through most of the bad guy minions.

All capitalism is bad, and any attempt to rein it in is failure before any attempts.

And anything else in that category of blind bag collectables. Can’t do anything with it other than decorating a shelf, spend more money than it’s worth to get a whole collection and end up with too many multiples you can’t get rid of, and fake rarity.

I can’t speak for everything, but I can speak for e-waste. Especially printers. Those things are made cheap as hell, but constructed so you can’t just get off the shelf parts. Being able to take the machine apart, find a replacement for whatever party is broken, install, and reassemble, you might have just bought a new printer for the same cost as the part. It’s almost the same with laptops, phones/tablets, televisions, etc. Brand doesn’t matter, it’s all the same. Right to repair doesn’t mean shit if you can’t even make the repairs.

The point was to not worship these people. The point was driven better in the book, the movie was more anti-capitalist than the book.
