Thank you, that makes sense. I wasn’t sure if the sleep deprivation was just making me (more of) an idiot.

Logically, if he treats the sex worker right, with no demanding, no (non negotiated/sane) violence, and his actions don’t extend into monogamous relationships, and his views on future sexual partners are neither transactional nor cruel, it should be fine.

Emotionally would likely be a different story for the partner, or at least for me. Partly due to the stigma attached to sex work, and partly due to feelings of inadequacy or worry about needing to perform unwanted acts, and partly due to a suspicion that that really would affect his views, because people’s thoughts and feelings are messy, sprawling things that don’t fit into the mental cabinets we stuff them into. But if the partner couldn’t get over that, then they’re not for him.

And yes, this applies to women who pay for sex workers, too. Or at least it damn well should.

I can’t be the only one who can’t parse this sentence.

I’m sorry, can you rephrase this? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

Running for president as a 3rd party is like proposing marriage to random strangers instead of, y’know, dating people. We all know you’re doing it for attention because it’s not going to work.

What you’ve said is true, but it doesn’t negate my point: the frustration felt by locals dealing with entitled tourists demanding their language be accommodated. The US doesn’t have a similar problem to Spain on that front.

A discussion of orthopedic shoes.

Note: the above site is trying to sell you on them, but the concepts/justifications they discuss pertain to your question.

There isn’t a large influx of Spanish speaking tourists who demand that the locals speak in their language in the US. This is more akin to a shopkeeper blaring speakers with high pitched tones that only teenagers can hear.

Uh, check their post history. You may not want to engage with them.

You could tempt him outside with the veterinarian’s clientele.

How long could each of these options live off the other?

Ah, it was inside, my bad.

Good comment! It’s a great rule of thumb.

I’ll add: a good bike helmet, which is a single-use item. One knock to the head and the helmet’s dead: if you are okay it’s done its job.

Explanation of cause; basically, a part of the sauce sticks to the plastic instead of water because like attracts like.

Would a waterproof boot work better?

I’ve worked in similar jobs where you’re on your feet all day, so I understand focusing on comfort, though.

I usually start off intending to only retie, then I walk around for a bit, get annoyed, and do the other one.

Your strategy of accepting the inevitable makes more sense which is why I will promptly forget it.

Unfortunately the Republican party has been basically fucked throughout my entire life, and it still manages to slouch towards Washington.

Jesus had thoughts on this.

Third time’s the charm?

I don’t agree that the reaction to what rightwingers say is so thoughtlessly contrary. In my experience, the reaction is usually “…huh, not what I expected, but okay. Oh, wait, THAT’S the reason they hate it? Nevermind…”

Oh right, I had heard about that: there’s a filter. I’m not sure what instance it’s on and what words it filters, though.

I was using the verb version of a word for a female dog.
