It wouldn’t really be “sex work” if they weren’t doing it in exchange for something would it?
Yes, we have currency as a placeholder for trading goods directly but people who perform sex acts for other goods like drugs are just as stigmatized and no currency was involved.
And if people are just having sex with a fun of it then it’s not sex work either, it’s just sex, which is less stigmatized now then it was 30 years ago but it still has a stigma attached to it, otherwise slurs like “skank” and “slut” wouldn’t exist.
My work closes the last two weeks of the year for the holidays and we get paid during our time off (If You’re not in a union, get one) and a lot of us save up some vacation and take an extra week on top, so December counts as Sloth Month for me.
Half dozen, dozen, two dozen in the US.
It finally paid off! Today is the day our system makes sense!
Religion has always been nothing more than a way to control people.
“I talked to God and he said that if you don’t listen to the rules that I wrote in this book then he’s going to torture you forever”
I don’t, sites like this are they best when their a hidden corner of the internet
Looking young is very different from feeling young.
I could never look at myself in the mirror ever again and it wouldn’t make my knees feel any better.
Yes, most used micro plastics for a long time, charcoal and coffee grounds are a fairly new advent in the last few years.
And that’s for the people lucky enough to be able to work 8 hours a day, I’m 5a-6p lol
It’s not X so 👍.
I rarely used Twitter before the Musk takeover, only to follow a handful of authors I like for updates about their books and a few people who did aerospace updates, unfortunately most of them jumped on the BlueSky train instead of the Mastodon bus, and I’m not going to have an X account so BlueSky it is.
In most cases they really don’t. I try to keep that in mind and make my best effort as I push toward my 40s to remember that it’s not my world anymore and try to keep caught up on things.
It really bugs me seeing my dad, who used to stay on top of new tech and try to keep up with things, just give up and not even try to understand things anymore.
Adults just don’t remember what it was like to be teenagers when they get into their 30s and 40s.

We call that a Pot Pie
Oh wow, I didn’t realize people were down voting this so heavily, it seemed glaringly obvious to me that the title was tongue-in-cheek and wasn’t meant to be taken literally.
This is one of those things that make me question anyone who still follows religion.
How exactly is it fair, just, or right to torture a soul for 1*10¹⁰⁰⁰⁰ years for mistakes they made over an ~80 year time span?
Any God that acts like a vindictive child isn’t a god worthy of worship.
Those results might be slightly skewed by alternate accounts. When I first joined during the Reddit Exodus I created this account on lemmy.world, but the instance suffered a LOT of downtime for the first month or so, so I created a few other accounts on lemmy.ml and sh.itjust.works so I could still browse while lemmy.world was down.
After the instance stabilized I pretty much stopped using the other accounts, so I, personally, am 2 of the people who “left” by leaving the other accounts inactive.
Both of those things are completely untrue
Everything heavier than lithium was created either in the heart of a star over it’s lifetime, or during its death in a supernova. We really are cosmic dust, or as Carl Segan called it, “Star Stuff”.
