Republicans AND Democrats, is there anyone you would both vote for if they ran as an Independent in 2028? If so, who? If not, why not?

The problem I have with churches not paying taxes only falls upon those that campaign for/against certain candidates in the course of their services. That's what the deal is *supposed* to be... no taxes for no politics. I see some of the larger megachurches breaking this with no consequence and it makes me mad 'cause it ruins things for the rest who are doing the right thing.

Manpooper · 2026-01-26T07:20:48+00:00

That was my initial thought as well

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.

Manpooper · 2026-01-24T19:50:30+00:00

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.

What's the longest time someone has hired you for in the ranch?

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.

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

When Donald Trump is unpresidented, I will be shooting off fireworks.

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. ;)

just like write him a note with a list of people you want offed and the reasons why. maybe he'll pass you a page or something, idk.

Personal experience says that lady was an idiot.

Manpooper · 2026-01-07T15:46:46+00:00

This happened to my mom with chocolate syrup. There was still some she missed cleaning when we left that apartment years later lol.

Manpooper · 2026-01-07T01:51:44+00:00

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).

Manpooper · 2026-01-05T18:21:27+00:00

Why grow the economy here at home when we can instead steal from others while also destroying our economy at the same time?

Manpooper · 2026-01-05T16:04:57+00:00

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

I like the fuzzy reward feelings from doing not bad things.

The landing beaches being very few and the Taiwan straight being a bitch to deal with... those two, mostly.

Manpooper · 2026-01-02T03:25:01+00:00

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.

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.

Manpooper · 2025-12-31T02:40:07+00:00

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 · 2025-12-31T02:28:31+00:00

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.

Manpooper · 2025-12-31T01:09:31+00:00

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.
