I didn't reach out to him. I looked at his profile. He saw that, and sent me a message with rates and various other details about himself.

I think knowing the rationale for "why" new member reviews may be ignored, or their "new" status is pointed out, makes it a little easier to swallow. So here's my take. There seems to be a propensity for providers to come on here and tout themselves with an undiscernible screen name(s). It's not a bright red flag labeling a new member as disingenuous. It's more like a yellow post-it note of caution. I certainly encourage all members to have some diligent patience and keep posting reviews. 6 months/a year from now if someone looks at your profile, and it's active, contributing regularly, or logging in regularly: 1) if someone has interest in the provider, the review will have credence and be helpful; 2) you may come to appreciate that heads up when other members throw that post-it note out on someone's review

I had cordial chat experience with him once we were able to connect. We couldn't connect via chat while I was actually in town. Based on my experience, and his advice, I would advise contacting him in advance of trying to book. He is not a "right now" provider, or even one to check his messages everyday.

NO we can't!!!! It'd likely cause a heart attack or at least a panic attack, and then you'd just have a turn it on and call 911. My god you must old! LOL! On a serious note though, my understanding is that certain phones and apps still run in the background when the phone has been turned off.

I'd buy a Faraday bag. While there's a lot of theories and testing about which technology it does and doesn't block, the test is simple. If I put move phone in it, head to the gas station, and upon returning home, it doesn't show my trip, it obviously looks like it blocks State Farm's technology. Although, I am not sure I would take just 1 trip as proof positive, and since some devices/apps save data for transfer later, I'd probably consider looking at the app in a month to make sure my gas station trips were still in fact missing.

Some people live for risk and chance, and others don't. Some don't like to kiss and tell, and others can't wait to share. Some fall in the middle on one, or both. I feel like a representative cross section will have all 3. And, as much as gentlemen here can have vastly different provider experiences and opinions, I can't imagine the strife if everyone here both hired, and then reviewed, every provider that sparked interest.

I truly wished that worked for me. For some reason, the providers I approach almost never read my profile. 🤷🏻

In my first message I always include a greeting, an introduction, a where, a when, and what, followed by a 'will this work.' Hello, Bob here. I am looking for an out-call downtown on Thur night after 7pm. I would like an erotic massage and mutual oral. Are you available for this?

I can certainly accept that logic. But, I feel like if they can go through the effort to list in-call and out-call rates, they can certainly muster the effort to key in "Uber cost added to out-call."

I was sincerely hoping for an answer or insight. My understanding was that the extra fee for outcall was compensation for travel expense and travel time. Is it not?? Is there some logical piece I am missing?

Brady violations are very intricate issues. One thing worth noting though, is that they also require judges to make decisions about other evidence that is related. So, if evidence D was hidden, the judge then has to decide if A, B, and C are so closely related to D, they now have to be thrown out as well. If the judge here say found A and B so interrelated to D that they can't be introduced at trial, she then also has to ask if a reasonable jury could convict on C alone. Even with a detailed written opinion, we truly never know what goes through a judge's mind.

I think almost everyone finds dismassals of cases and evidence based on technicalities a point of anger. But, I think the caution exercised with technicalities is an inherent part of preserving the Blackstone Ratio (better that 10 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man be found guilty). That philosophy wasn't just an epiphany of the American Justice System, or Brittish Common Law. It's a principal that has guided much of society for several thousand years. It was evidenced in Genesis and the destruction of Sodom.

I would term the above article a "fluff" piece. It's devoid of pertinent information and any skepticism that you would hope for when controversial topics are reported on by a real news source. Specifically, even the headline fails to say "special" prosecutor. It's very significant when you consider that Erlinda Ocampo Johnson is normally a successful criminal defense and personal injury attorney in NM. I doubt it would serve her career well to say publicly 'that if the prosecutor withholds evidence, it's a minor matter.' What defendant would want to hire her after that???

As I understand, the case dismissal hinges on a finding of withholding evidence by the prosecution. While it may have been a different outcome if the charge was murder vs manslaughter, I think judges have a duty to make sure the consequences for withholding evidence are significant vs a slap on the wrist. If we allow evidence to be withheld with minor consequences, or no consequences, it unravels the whole foundation of the American criminal justice system.

I get that most services charge a "delivery fee." If it's extra for an out call though, isn't that extra the "delivery fee?"

I also see a lot more businesses accepting debit payments and cash. As I understand the debit fees are significantly less than credit card fees.

As I understand, there are a handful of other states that have mandated accepting cash payments for in person business transactions. It's likely also important to note that it's not a cash free for all - - - written into the laws are often provisions for things like not being required to accept bills larger than a $20 and capping acceptance of cash for purchases totalling $1500 or less.

I think you are missing ALL the "fees" associated with collecting cash. It's not just a question of counterfeit bills. It's theft, employees theft, time to count and RECOUNT drawers of cash, time taking deposits to a bank, time giving back change, and making change incorrectly (which certainly may lead to employee attrition).

I think it's always a question of "is the value of the service worth it?" I am pretty resistant to paying a fee to get my own money as well. I know every ATM within 2 miles of my house, and on my daily commute, that is "no fee" or at a bank linked to my own. My mother is resistant to eating out for pleasure. It's only a convience option in her mind. She's said many times that she "spent many years putting 3 meals a day on the table for a family. Making a meal is easy. Why should I pay a ton of money for someone else to do easy work I could do myself."

I understand not wanting to take a lot cash on an airplane, BUT, in the age of ATMs that accept cash deposits, and refillable debit cards, I am not sure simply 'not wanting to fly with cash' is a great reason not to accept cash. I travel some for work. I have both a main credit union account that gives me "partner" access to ATMs across the country, and when that fails, I specifically have a debit card at a nationwide bank.

I think businesses imposing "convenience fees" will be yet another reason cash always exists.

My assumption is that once in effect, it will change from "a handful of misdemeanors that will often be reduced or dismissed," to 'without any human trafficking, it's a handful of felonies that will often be reduced to misdemeanors or dismissed.'

Some folks are gifted conversationalists who can change topics and steer conversations with ease and grace. Some people not so much. Some folks are comfortable being frank about topics to avoid. Some people not so much. Some people love controversial conversation and debate. Some people not so much. Truly skilled providers will be able to read those subtle differences in a client and change topic or even end conversation. In terms of the review, as long as you were honest and upfront with ALL aspects of experience, it's a helpful review for potential clients and the provider. Obviously, leaving 1 or 2 stars and saying "clean, on time, good pressure, Midwestern corn fed boy with a great body and a huge dick, BUT, he couldn't stop talking about religion, and it ruined the experience," is truly a helpful review. It gives some clients insight to say "he's probably not for me." And at the same time, it might make @Vegas_Millennial @Thelatin and @jeezifonly beat a path to your door for his contact info! One man's trash...

Damn! There are a whole lot a lawyers on COM! 😉

Logic and the ability to experience and conceptualize perspectives outside of one's self are not behaviors reserved or licensed to any state or federal bar. On the contrary, they are skills many, many adults engage in every day.
