Illicit drug use can be rationalized in many ways, including why one form is superior to another. Common rationalizations often include things like: it relaxes me, it takes the edge off, it makes me lose my inhibitions, it gives me a push, it let's me escape. Often "and then I can be more social" is tacked on the end of those phrases. To say that opiods and opiates are never used to calm or relax someone and thereby make social interactions easier, is akin to saying other depressants, like alcohol or THC, can't be used that same way. Any addict I've ever known was willing to sell both body and possessions, and often the bodies and possessions of others, to feed their addiction. "Addiction" is the common denominator, not "what" they are addicted to.

In my experience, anyone who believes that spending freely, pinching pennies, being rude, or being classy is limitted to a specific socioeconomic group needs to increase their sample size.

If I understand claims here correctly, PNP typically involves a downer (depressant), time for it to take effect, and then an upper (stimulant). Depressant would include all opiates and opiods. I find it unbelievable that there is a strict moral code compelling EVERYONE to NEVER substitute a downer like Dilaudid, heroin, Fentanyl, etc because it's cheaper, or they couldn't get GHB. Maybe I am just jaded when it comes to the concept of 'honor among drug abusers.'

I am curious to understand why this bothered you? Can you elaborate?

I would NEVER pay more for a session that ran over. It could be the start of a very slippery and ugly slope of rewarding bad behavior. I see the provider as the keeper of the time clock, and I don't TYPICALLY want them to go over time. I don't want a provider thinking they can just fill their big gap in between clients with me. I may have things to do after the appointment. They may be new, and I am already thinking they aren't repeat quality. They may be a regular, and I already know their skill level and if they are worth 60 min, 90 min, 120 min etc.

I completely understand the point. It was worth it to you, even when the price tripled. Maybe I should have been more direct in my initial reply. A "few" dollars means different things to each of us, and we all allocate discretionary funds in different ways and in different amounts. Personally, I don't have enough of a sense of entitlement to say "If these little things [Uber costs] matter to you, you probably have the wrong hobby." Much like I'd never say to someone that 'if you can't afford to hire twice a week, you can't afford this hobby.'

My take away from the "Mercedes story" was that client believed the provider pulled the ticket off a stranger's car, and then tried get reimbursement for a ticket that wasn't even his. If we should all be willing to accept and pay any "add on" fees the provider deems necessary, why even ask about a the rate to start with. Wouldn't take long for a provider to double his standard with add on fees. I look at the details of nearly every bill I pay. If there are "add on" fees that seem abnormal or excessive, I question the business, and likely frequent a different business in the future.

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.
