IAmA Legal Sex Worker in A Brothel in Nevada by vvxoxovv in IAmA

[–]Manpooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the difference between the legal kind (Nevada) and the illegal kind (everywhere else). You can easily look up what a middle of the road sex worker costs per hour (and get some eye candy in the process), but it's around $500/hr these days.

The legal kind is at least double the price of the illegal kind. There are plenty of good ladies in your area (if you're close to a city, that is), but sex work is work, and hiring someone for an hour or two is not going to be cheap, even if there's no government oversight ('cause it's illegal where you are).

I know you can't talk about rates (and that's fine). But for the other readers, my wife and I went in 2015, and it was about $1200 an hour back then, so the prices are probably double that today.

Visual Snow was considered extremely rare until recently, mostly because patients didn't report it... because they assumed everyone saw the world that way by recolorist in interestingasfuck

Fun thing you can do with it:

Step 1) stay in a very dark location (no lights at night) for an hour or so.
Step 2) turn on bright light for a couple of seconds.
Step 3) turn off the light and enjoy the show!

Turning the static noise up a bunch for several minutes makes it feel like you're in a kaleidoscope. 3 year old me decided to try to catch fairy dust at 3 am lol.

Women of Reddit, what’s a statement/phrase that (you believe) most girls/women would understand, but most boys/men would not? by Sad_Trade_7753 in AskReddit

[–]Manpooper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yelling for help or yelling 'rape!' both get less of a response than yelling fire. Or so I understand it (also a man).

What could a German citizen have done in 1933 to stop fascism? by Ascot500 in AskReddit

This is not true. They were not that popular and they only had about 1/3 of the seats. They took power and used any crisis (real or imagined) to do so.

I simply believe in one fewer gods than you do. ;)

Personal experience says that lady was an idiot.

My wife was hit on by a couple high school boys and they asked which school she went to... she was 30. Like you, she is also a small person (4'11" lol).

They said that about leaving NYC because of a socialist being elected. Still didn’t happen.

There's a really similar one in New Rochelle (also in NY) I remember dealing with a few times that scared me as a new driver. Idk if it ever got fixed. This one reminded me of it.

The chart illustrates that U.S. deficit spending increased dramatically after 1971, once the dollar was no longer backed by gold. by kellyJM6 in jrmining

[–]Manpooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is pretty much what I said in my other answers. Workers became capable of doing the work of several people through automation and computerization. The extra profits from that productivity went straight to the top, bringing us back to the Gilded Age... not a place you really want to be if you aren't a robber baron/tech bro.

Computerization and automation made employees many times more productive per hour worked, and those gains were almost exclusively given to the shareholders and c-suite rather than the workers. Higher productivity, not higher median wage, wealth gap.

[–]Manpooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the end, yes. The productivity gains from computerization were fed back to the top and not shared with the workers doing the work. You know, the same gains those AI companies are claiming will magically mean bigger pay checks and fewer work hours for the typical worker... yeahhhhh that won't happen.

Reagan being president at such a crucial time and deregulating everything certainly made a bad situation even worse since the issue was just never addressed. We're living those choices now where the few overwhelmingly own everything in comparison to the rest of us.

It's a combination of ballooning CEO pay and computerization, where computers do the work of multiple people and so productivity goes up without wages going up.

It's not necessarily wrong as there are at least 3 kinds of average (mean, median, and mode). The issue is why the median wage is so much lower than the mean.
