The stigma with sex work is that you’re having sex with someone because you want paid, and otherwise wouldn’t be having sex with that person.

If there was no need for money or an exchange for goods and you wanted to have sex with a bunch of different people, we already have that in today’s society. It’s a tinder user.

And making porn is stigmatized. That’s why 99% of the porn made “just for fun” is intended to never see the light of day by anyone but the people making it.

Really, I’m not directly sure what your argument/belief/whatever is here in this post.

If there’s no exchange or barter, then there’s no sex work. The stigma behind sex work is that you’re selling your body to someone for a price tag, and if you weren’t getting paid you otherwise wouldn’t be doing it with that particular person. In other words, if you aren’t getting compensation out of it, you’re just like anyone else with a tinder account.

I want to know what the company fucked up. I assume they were contaminated with something.

Except that isn’t true. Men are more stable due to hip width, their hearts move more blood, their arms and hands are larger/longer, and their lungs hold more air. None of that goes away.

What sports would it work in? Do you think people will care about the best tennis player that weighs 140 pounds? The best 240 pound soccer players? The fastest 130 pound swimmer? No one wants to watch any of that. It barely works for boxing.

All that aside from the fact that you’re still pretty much ruining competitive sports for most cis women by doing it. The reason there’s a female “insert sport here” competitive league to begin with is so many women have a reason to compete and can win. A 150 pound trained male athlete will still wipe the floor with a 150 pound female athlete. It’s far, far, from just a weight thing. The Williams sisters were the best female tennis players the world knew, and they went out and proved they couldn’t beat a man that was ranked over 200th. The world champion austrailian female soccer team couldn’t beat a boys highschool team. The fastest woman to ever run the 1500m did it in 3:49. A 5’ 9" guy did it in 3:26.

Weight and size is only a little portion of physical differences.

If there’s so many Trans athletes, why don’t they just have a category of their own?

Well of course it’s speculation. It doesn’t make it untrue or very unlikely, though. It’s just not a certainty. What is a certainty was that a dozen+ candidates were murdered, but there weren’t any attempts of her or her family.

Ok. How do you think it’s flawed? The drug lords literally killed over a dozen other candidates, the current president was looking the other way on their business, and this woman worked with that president and is known to have similar views.

So where’s the flaw, my guy?

She’s a shadow puppet of the last president, and he didn’t do anything to stop the narcos or the murders. Why would you think she’s different?

She’s probably alive because she’s already cut a deal with the narcos. I believe over a dozen other candidates were gunned down, along with some family members. I doubt that her and her family managed to get out of all that from simple luck.

Lemmy is pretty much exactly the same as reddit, but without so much advertising and a much smaller user base.

Some people get pissed about that being said, but most users know it’s true. There are still overzealous mods and instances pushing and controlling agendas. As it gets more popular, more ai bots will start spamming stuff. In the meantime, it’s not bad. I’ve almost completely stopped using reddit after about 16 years. I still hop over if I need or want certain bits of information. It’s easier to get info/advice from 100,000 subscribers than it is from 100.

For the most part though, I’m happy with lemmy and have no plans of returning to reddit. It is kind of a dumpster fire over there.

A good choice.

Welcome back to blue collar, boys. Just keep it union so no one gets fucked on pay.

Despite all the AI and robotics, semi trucks will probably stay manned at least another 20 years, manual construction of houses and building will still be around for another 25 years, welders (non mass production) like building and piping will be around for quite some time, auto mechanics, and Healthcare workers, hvac techs, electricians, plumbers, construction, mailman, airline pilots (at least passenger airline), gun for hire, firefighter, police, emt/paramedic, and MORE.

There’s a lot of jobs that aren’t even close to being phased out. It’s just that most of them involve you actually not sitting on your butt all day.

Beyond the other good recommendations here, go on amazon and do your search for “mechanical keyboard” armed with a bit of information first, like knowing that you won’t find a good mechanical keyboard for under $40.

Then click on one you’re interested in that has at least 50 reviews and check that it’s been for sale for at least 6 months. If anything hasn’t been for sale very long, or hasn’t gotten many reviews, it’s likely a poor product.

Now for the other important bit. Go to the reviews and sort them by NEWEST. Every scam product in existence gets the initial ball rolling with fake/paid reviews, but then stops after a couple months. So when you sort by newest and look at the most recent 20 reviews, those are almost always mostly real people. Those are what you want to look at. If a product is rated 4.5 stars with 500 reviews, but the most recent 20 don’t average out anywhere close to 4.5, you know the product is a lie.

True, but the difference is like trying to throw a dart at a bullseye with your eyes closed, vs a bench top rifle and a 10x scope. An exact understanding of why could much more quickly lead to hitting that bullseye and making it work 10 fold faster and better. Aspirin started off as people chewing on tree bark and getting stomach pain as a side effect of removing another pain. We figured out how and why it worked, removed wood chewing, removed the stomach pain, and were then also able to develope other pain killers based on how it worked, like ibuprofen, naproxen, and other nsaids.

I’ve thought of an improvement to an existing product, but don’t have the thousands of dollars to try an patent it, or start selling it in it’s improved fashion. It sucks, cause it would be nice to have and I think a lot of people would want to buy it.

Adding a 5 gallons gas tank isn’t that hard.

Reminds me of a soap opera with slightly less over the top reactions.

Salads aren’t usually vegan. Many gave been touched by cheese, a milk product, or egg.

Vegan also isn’t like an allergy. It’s a choice. Choose to bring your own food.

See. Here we are. Even now. “Vegan option yadda yadda. So easy. Why would you invite such and such without thinking of food restrictions blah blah blagh”

You couldn’t help yourself.
