Easier money than doing other work. They could make ends meet other ways, I’m sure, but this is easier and more fun.
Like, I could make ends meet as a roofer but making more money for sitting in front of a computer is easier and more fun.
As for the other stuff, all I can say is that they weren’t all women.
Sex work is not something people do because its a choice but out of need for finances.
This may be true in many or most cases but I’ve met sex workers who like their job and want to keep doing it because it’s an easy and fun way to make a lot of money.
It needn’t be a conspiracy for it to be harmful. I remember a creepy countdown timer for when they (and others) turned 18. The projection of that, and the pressure to retain their childhood traits for profitability, can fuck someone up.
Like they gained the ability to curse their abusers.
If we didn’t have religion we’d find something else to divide us and hold us back. Text editors or something.
There isn’t an EV for sale in America I want. Almost all are SUVs and the ones that aren’t still have iPads instead of dashboards and data tracking.
There is one that I want in Europe but I can’t have it because I’m a free American.
Any system whereby a thousand middlemen don’t get to get a cut of the money is illegal and immoral. /s
It’s also produced (slowly) through radioactive decay underground where it becomes trapped with other gasses. That’s the reserve we’ve been working with.
We’re gonna make AGI and realize that being stupid sometimes and making mistakes is integral to general intelligence.
The worst part is that it was all down to our existing system being owned by Salesforce, and Larry Ellison hating the CEO of Salesforce.
We could still use Amazon and Microsoft products but nothing from Saleforce because Uncle Larry was butthurt.
These guys were blown away when I showed them the same feature in a competitor’s product.
The company I worked for had just been bought by Oracle and we were under a directive to switch to all Oracle software, so I guess they weren’t motivated because there wasn’t extra money in it.
I was once told by Oracle engineers that it would take 18-24 months to add a drop down with auto complete to their ticketing system.
They don’t have good engineers because Oracle is a law firm pretending to be a tech company.
Brining chicken isn’t terribly hard. Just a ziplock and some salt water with seasoning. (Or leftover pickle juice.)
The problem is that if you want chicken now you’re gonna need a time machine to go back 12-24 hours to brine the chicken, and people will pay for convenience.
Brining a turkey requires large and specialized equipment, though.
This happens so often with my wife that she’s started saying “quack” when I figure it out
Australia isn’t on the same continent as Antarctica. But New Zealand is.

“Homeward Bound” by Simon & Garfunkel.
It was really hard to choose because my dad loves music and has played guitar for almost 60 years. He’s still active in the local music scene and plays a couple gigs a week even in his 70s.
But I picked this song because when I was a kid he was in a folk duo that practiced in our basement. This was the last song they played at their gigs, and the last one they played at practice.
I was in elementary school at the time so my bedtime was right around when they’d be wrapping up and I have a core memory of hearing my dad singing it wafting up from the basement as I drifted off to sleep
Which is why every one of them supported making sex work legal so they have those protections.
