I bought an electric car to insulate me from gas prices, because the instant torque makes them fun to drive, and because the cost of ownership is way lower than an equivalent gas car.

It had nothing to do with the environment, but if it helps, great.

Most of Denver is like that, but Lower Downtown is on the 45. Not sure how that's accounted for (if at all) in this chart.

Check yourself dude. The mere fact that you say "it's doubtable these are in the majority" shows EXACTLY what you think of sex work. Your attitude of "ugh that's so pitiful, no one would do that willingly, they must be forced into it" is fucking offensive.

Millions of people feel stuck in their jobs and "don't feel like they have much choice." Walmart, coffee shops, data entry, whatever. But if it's sex work, all of a sudden it's something to be ashamed of?

Yeah, sure there's trafficking out there, and that is horrible. But don't conflate the two. Don't just assume that someone doing sex work is being trafficked. Just like you don't constantly assume someone doing any other job must also be a trafficked slave or something. Get it?

I want to live in a world where no one feels they are struggling so much that they need to turn to selling their body for sex.

You see, that's the problem. You are implicitly devaluing sex work compared to other professions. You're not acknowledging that some people actually want to, and choose to do sex work. There's nothing wrong whatsoever with someone choosing prostitution, stripping, escort, etc.

Could you say your same statement about being a lawyer? A teacher? An engineer?

"I want to live in a world where no one feels they are struggling so much that they need to turn to being an engineer."

You see how weird that sounds? So why can you say it about sex work? Do you see how derisive you're being toward it as a profession? Funny that you say you're supportive while implying that what they're doing is a last resort...🤦‍♂️

What does "on god" mean? First I've heard that term.

For your SCUBA example, is it the U you're talking about?

Underwater vs oonderwater?

Scuhba vs Scooba?

Oh I'm definitely pronouncing it zhif from now on!

This makes me sad for the poor Argentinasaurus

I thought it looked familiar.

If we can change the complexion of the character, we can change the gender, too! Go Terry!

Even regular earplugs at a loud concert work amazingly well for me. I can still hear conversation (people yelling over the music) but the deafening volume of the concert is brought down to acceptable levels.

I don't understand why concerts are so loud. They're just...so, so fucking loud...
