i’d probably read the sometimes as applying to environmental protest rather than the practice… as in there are other forms of environmental protests, and this is one that is sometimes used

as a gay man, not as far as i’m aware

and if you’re trying to make a joke because the people that do this are likely homophobes and would hate to be associated with gay sex, i’d ask please don’t… that, in itself, is unintentionally homophobic because it implies gay sex is derogatory

i don’t know what else to say here other than to reiterate that you’re provably wrong on all fronts

as i’ve said: i live in a place where SEX WORK is regulated rather than criminalised, and we have significantly lower levels of associated social issues because of it… it’s not a theory, it’s a fact backed up by numerous government enquiries…

in fact, up until a year ago there were more restrictions and they significantly loosened them, because it was found that many of the minimal restrictions were detrimental to protecting people from harm and exploitation

i’m not going to reply any more because Brandolini's law exists

educated; done

this is an apartheid state who steals land and murders civilians who happen to be in their way using overwhelming technical advantage to ensure their victims have no option but comply or die

and a terrorist organisation that uses human shields, civilian hostages, and suicide bombs in response to their land being stolen and families murdered

these are two insane and violent cults

yeah so that was our conservative government. no surprises there aye?

People are choosing to sell their body?
yes, i am, and plenty of my friends do to… we have regular jobs too. don’t be so judgemental

Do you really think that just because it is legal that the only people doing it aren’t ones in complete poverty?
of course not; problems exist everywhere, but we do have a functioning unemployment system which massively raises the bar

it’s also not about absolutely nothing bad happens: no matter whether it’s illegal or not people are going to do sex work… its about harm minimisation and in a system where there’s no stigma, sex workers can seek help without fear of reprisal and have laws that help them

And secondly, saying that there can’t be pimps doesn’t make it so.
true, but i’ve never heard of it being so, and i’ve heard of plenty of other issues with sex work… this just doesn’t seem to be one of them

Exploitation can be stopped by providing economic conditions where people aren’t becoming prostitutes.
or by not stigmatising sex work… sex work, by the way, is the correct term

Sex work isn’t an issue where you live? That’s such a fucking privileged thing to say.
i guess you’re right… i’m privileged to have massive government studies and research in the topic that led them to the conclusion that this was the correct choice, and i’m privileged to live here and to have life experience as a sex worker… i’m privileged to be a sex worker and not have people like you around me stigmatising and contributing to the very issue huh claim to be against simply because of some shitty “morals” which is actually about controlling people’s choices

I don’t have a majority of people who oppose exploitation? Well, when I say we, I’m referring to good people
and there it is… anyone that doesn’t agree with your world view isn’t a good person? jesus christ mate… try living outside your bubble for half a second… turns out the world doesn’t work the way you think it should. turns out problems aren’t black and white, and turns out knee jerk reactions without evidence is a shit way to govern

yeah i found it this morning entirely because of the ad block thing (i actually don’t ad block YT because i want to support creators, but i hate that now that’s not a choice, so i'm making the last remaining choice available)

more info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChildrenOverboardaffair

basically asylum seekers were passing their babies off a sinking boat to border patrol authorises and the government cropped it to make it look like they were throwing their kids overboard to shed weight and save themselves

that’s just completely ignorant tbh

sex work is frequently reduced to exploitation when it’s unregulated, but making it illegal doesn’t stop it: it just makes the problem worse

when you regulate sex work (like where i live, in victoria australia) you solve a huge amount of problems. you’re not allowed to represent a sex worker here, so it’s all “sole trader” kind of stuff, or the other kind is working at a brothel which has a huge list of restrictions and you have a proper employment contract with health and safety requirements like any other job

i’m not saying exploitation doesn’t happen, but exploration can’t be stopped so it’s about harm minimisation… legal and de stigmatised sex work means when people make choices to do sex work they’re protected and have plenty of avenues to get out when they need to

edit: also who is this “we”? don’t talk for people you don’t know… sex work isn’t an issue where i live, and id imagine you don’t have quite the majority you think you do… don’t assume your bubble represents the world

oh sorry i mean i have a well paying lifelong career and i do sex work just because i like it. i don’t do it for the money; in fact, my rule is that im only allowed to spend the money on kink, fetish, and sex toys because i don’t want it to become necessary. i know ill get older at some point and that’d be a problem: i’m over 30 right now and i can pull off a certain kind of daddy bear look, but not even that’ll last forever

i also find with other friends that do only sex work (because they enjoy it), it often makes the recreational sex that you have less fun… that’s the most common reason they stop doing it: starting on sex work not out of necessity tends to mean you quite enjoy sex, and that it’s a big part of how you relax and decompress

as a sex worker, i don’t find it either debasing or dehumanising

i have a well paying job and i do it because i want to

well, they did say “human nature” and “unfortunately”

i don’t think they’re judging?

okay but the clip on rj connectors is a locking mechanism which usb just lacks… break off the clip and they’re relatively equvelent no?

the victims are israelis; the government of israel is a separate entity… heck, the people in charge in israel are separate entities again

also (somewhat ignorant myself), possibly useful to distinguish between palestine and hamas… palestine the state might be more amenable than hamas

… but idk

not banned but different because it uses cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup afaik… its much cheaper to produce corn syrup in the US because there’s big farming subsidies

mexican coke
texan peeps

mine was set to private only, but i’ve had ios17 since one of the early betas

but it doesn’t effect white westerners so is it really that steep?

edit: forgot the /s is 150% necessary

there’s a lot to unpack here but i’d really like to focus on just 1 part for a moment:

There is only your fake god’s foul jizz, stinking of hamberders
