I think this is sort of a misunderstanding of OnlyFans. You can already find unlimited free images of hot girls. OF is about parasocial interaction.

rookie error: never try to pick a time that works for everybody! pick a time that works for YOU and broadcast it. same goes for venue. deciding those details is the host's privilege.

"they're very into just jumping into a topic by reading a list of books about it". was this intended as a dunk lmfao.
one thing i've noticed about silicon valley types is that they have an almost neural net theory of their own learning, they're very into just jumping into a topic by reading a list of books about it.

this is kind of discourse dark matter — people who would or do leave immediately because of infidelity talk about it proudly, but couples who reconcile and forgive after infidelity are ashamed so many aren't aware how common that is.
if ur long term bf/gf cheated (no kids), and was genuinely sorry, would u potentially try to forgive them and work it out?.

I don't doubt that the average prisoner is stupid but I often think of @literalbanana's point that simply answering arbitrary questions from petty authority figures in good faith is not a thing humans like to do.
Spoke with a family member today who works in the prison system and they independently brought up how inmates would nitpick and lose the train of logic if something didn’t match their experience. “Ok, imagine you bought cigarettes for $5 and-“. “But cigarettes don’t cost $5?”

I don't think adding ChatGPT interaction will obliterate the market for real girls either. Probably reduce it. But e.g. industrialization did not destroy demand for handcrafted goods.

this is a super important realization. you, individually, as a person, are not any more "advanced" — let alone enlightened! — than your ancestors. you are embedded in a vast civilization embodying cumulative discovery over millennia, and *that* is more advanced than what they had.

it amazes me that there are women who refuse to work with men who've ever made a chauvinist comment, as if women don't *constantly* shit-talk men. the sexes are inherently pitted against each other as much as we are natural allies. the push and pull is what makes it so exciting!.

now that I'm trying to get pregnant it blows my mind that this happens to people accidentally. there's like 2-3 days per month when you're fertile and even if you time everything right, the chance of conception is like ~30%. I guess, as my husband commented, "people bang A LOT".

this drives me CRAZY. look, there's a lot I dislike about Musk's public persona, but the man gets RESULTS. people who've never accomplished anything at a comparable scale pooh-poohing his intellect or operational prowess is maddening. they have no idea how hard it is.
“Musk is an engineering genius”.“Ugh he doesn’t do any of the real technical work”.“Ok so he’s an incredible executive”.“He’s not really running the show”.“Fine so he’s ‘just’ an incredibly skilled investor who also inspires the founders to start and grow their companies?”.

pro tip for women, ask guys out, do not rely on dudes you wanna date noticing that you're attracted to them.
I was 17, hourly data entry job. She asked me if I wanted to go to a work meeting "with her". I was baffled by this but I went, sat silently next to her the entire time, then returned to my desk. *This year* am old acquaintance asked me if I ever sealed that deal. "what deal?".
