Reminds me of the joke about a man that dies in a flood waiting for good to save him while turning down any actual rescuers.
Meat eaters: if you need a sign from God or fate or whatever to start being vegan, here’s yet another one. Try not to drown before you change your mind.
I feel like your completely glossing over the whole increased risk of rape and violence aspect that prostitution involves compared to wage labor.
Example #732 of why ethnonationalism is bad.
I feel like you’re ignoring the reality that the prostitution industry avoids formal recognition by its very nature. Clients want to stay anonymous, pimps want to stay underground, and many prostitutes want to remain under the radar. Formal recognition is a necessary prerequisite for regulation and labor law.
Do you plan on this being a lifelong career for you? Why or why not?
This is such a lib take that it pains me to read it. The whole post is worth a read, btw.

Such a complete misunderstanding of the industry is the result of a flattening of distinctions between all work and a misunderstanding of Marxist theory. Wage labor is exploitative because of the surplus value extracted from the workers’ labor. Prostitution is sexual exploitation because it feeds off of extreme vulnerability to maintain a class of prostitutes, coerces sex through money and power, and exposes those women to high amounts of rape and violence. Not all work involves coercive sex, not all work comes with the high risk of rape and male violence in whatever legal context it operates under. Not all work puts the body and it’s component parts on the market to be bought, sold, and rented at will to the highest bidder.
The arm rest seamlessly and senselessly blends into the rest of the couch.
Can you join Teams meetings in Firefox? I think that’s the only real issue I’ve had with it.
The problem is that you’re arguing that from a position of valuing keeping your toys that go pew pew real loud and real fast over valuing the general public safe, though.
How can he stop being something that he’s already not?
China is anti-mask and anti-vaccine? Do you lick lead paint for fun? From the same source as the OP article, this is what anti-vaccine propaganda looks like:
What proof do you have that the Falun Gong aren’t also lying about these supposed crimes against humanity?
Krebase doesn’t exist at all, too.
Long lasting and horrific repercussions as a result of unprovoked NATO aggression? It must be a day of the week that ends in y.
I was quite a fan of the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix when I was younger. The imagery is vivid, the characters are complex/capable, and the setting is an acid trip of wide-ranging allegory and symbolism.
Sometimes I wonder if the DRA would’ve succeeded if the CIA and MI6 hadn’t been backing the Mujahideen.
Congratulations on successfully doing absolutely nothing, you must feel so proud.
Sounds like a poor excuse to avoid personal responsibility to me. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Going vegan isn’t “making sacrifices”, it’s the right thing to do. Rich people aren’t the ones consuming all of the meat, it’s everyday schlubs like you.
It seems the person in question didn’t report this income and therefore didn’t pay taxes on it.
