Fidelity! More options, great research tools, automatic bill pay, downloaded tax info into your Turbo Tax software, personal financial advisor. Vanguard is good, but Fidelity is better - I've been with them for 30 years. As far as Trump's buds pumping money into markets to save his fat ass, I think it's more likely that Trump lets them (probably his kids) know about a tweet (e.g. imposing more tariffs on China) that he will send out the next day that will rock the market - and provide huge gains for investors who "shorted" the market the day before. Unless you have insider information (a crime which hardly ever gets caught/punished except for Martha S.), trust the "market efficiency theory" - market prices reflect all available, relevant information. If markets are efficient, then all information is already incorporated into prices, and so there is no way to "beat" the market because there are no under- or overvalued securities available. That's why "experts" in market forcasting are no more accurate (over time) than throwing darts at a list of NYSE securities. Put your money (every month) into low expense, no-load Index funds and then check them every six months or yearly.

FOSTA-SESTA has been a complete failure and is actually inhibiting what it was set up to accomplish: "The Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Fox23 news station reported in May 2018 that police were having trouble investigating sex trafficking without Backpage. "Police said now that they can't set up stings on Backpage, they've been able to focus their manpower on investigating reports of prostitution at local massage parlors," the report said. That's the classic rerouting of police manpower. Departments across the country are granted funding to fight the plague of sex trafficking only to spend those funds on these prostitution cases. As in the story of Robert Kraft visiting one of those massage parlors in Florida, stings are initiated to fight sex trafficking, but when law enforcement discovers no trafficking has occurred, it simply instigates arrests for prostitution. It's a racket." --- Business Insider, July 14, 2019 Cops are so busy chasing down ordinary prostitution that they don't have time (or resources) to investigate real sex trafficking - as Senator Ron Wyden had warned when voting against FOSTA-SESTA. "The law, however, has been an abject failure. It hasn't done what it set out to do, fight sex trafficking, and instead has made the lives of sex workers, the very people the law hoped to protect, more dangerous. FOSTA-SESTA holds websites accountable for any sex work facilitated on their platforms. Sex workers can no longer share information or warn each other away from violent clients." ibid. https://www.businessinsider.com/fosta-sesta-anti-sex-trafficking-law-has-been-failure-opinion-2019-7 We can only hope that the several challenges to this law (including one by the ACLU which claims it is unconstitutional) will be successful.

If you've ever traveled on I-75 just south of Cincinnati in Florence, KY, you've seen this: http://apps.sos.ky.gov/maps/userpics/FlorenceYall.jpg Plural of Y'ALL ------> ALL of Y'ALL

Blue What it means everywhere else: The color of the sky, or how you describe your mood when you’re feeling a little down. What it means in Kentucky: The color every University of Kentucky Wildcats fan bleeds.

I can top that - I just LOOKED at an escort's ad on RM 2x and got blocked. I reported this on this forum a couple of years ago, and another member said the same escort had blocked him for the exact same reason - so I didn't feel so bad.

Misnomers - sort of in the same general category: driveways -- where you park your car parkways -- where you drive your car Boston Cream Pie (mostly cake) tin foil (made of aluminum)

New bathroom fixtures.

All of the above.

I'm sorry I didn't get the details about rat mating more accurate. I don't know a lot about rats b/c in Kentucky we send most of our rats to the U.S. Senate. (Or is that turtles?)

It's called the "Coolidge Effect." I didn't recall the exact details b/c I heard about it in first year psychology class back in the 60s. Empirical evidence The original experiments with rats applied the following protocol: A male rat was placed into an enclosed large box with four or five female rats in heat.[11] He immediately began to mate with all the female rats repeatedly until he eventually became exhausted.[11] The females continued nudging and licking him, yet he did not respond.[11] When a novel female was introduced into the box, he became alert and began to mate once again with the new female.[11] This phenomenon is not limited to common rats.[12] ---- Wikipedia See Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolidge_effect The reason they call it the "Coolidge Effect" is funny: … an old joke about Calvin Coolidge when he was President … The President and Mrs. Coolidge were being shown [separately] around an experimental government farm. When [Mrs. Coolidge] came to the chicken yard she noticed that a rooster was mating very frequently. She asked the attendant how often that happened and was told, "Dozens of times each day." Mrs. Coolidge said, "Tell that to the President when he comes by." Upon being told, the President asked, "Same hen every time?" The reply was, "Oh, no, Mr. President, a different hen every time." President: "Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge."

There was an experiment with rats many years ago - the research team put a male rat in a box with a female rat - the male rat would "go at it" for a few days and then his rate of sex would decrease until he gradually stopped "doing the deed" altogether. Then they would take out the first female and introduce an entirely new female rat and the male rat would again start having frequent sex with the new female (until he tired of her). Moral of the story: we horny male rats often get desensitized and require new and exciting stimuli for arousal. I am guessing that your clients experience this same desensitization with "Only Fans" sites and, after a few weeks, move on to another provider. Don't take it personally - just try to provide some reason for them to stick with you - like maybe new and exciting partners, new sex scenarios, innovative role plays? Maybe you already do that?

Amazon pays its full-time fulfillment center employees at least $15 an hour. The company also offers employees benefits, a 401K, and other amenities that make it, on paper, not a bad place to work. But pay and benefits are not the primary reason most workers are striking. The problem is “the rate" i.e. how fast and proficient a worker must be, even to the extent that they are penalized for taking a bathroom break. For example, Amazon fired roughly 300 employees over the course of a year at a Baltimore fulfillment center for failing to meet productivity quotas, representing more than 10 percent of the workforce. Workers complain that they are treated more like robots than humans. Speaking of robots, automation will likely replace these workers in the near future, unless the robots unionize.

Bostonman - I was not referring to you but to Boy4 who seems amazed that an employer would block these types of sites. I was supervisor at a large health company and, even though it was not easy due to privacy rules (I had to justify my concerns with headquarters), I was able to obtain a printout of every site that a particular employee had visited during a designated period (an employee had accused this employee of spending a lot of time surfing porn sites). As Mr.E states, a company can legally monitor all of your activities on their network.

Why in the world would you expect your employer to permit access to dating sites?

I was in Indy Tuesday night and hooked up with a straight, white muscle boy on Grindr whose Profile indicated that he was seeking "Gen Guys" - and who provided a most copacetic encounter of mutual pleasuring. (I have learned not to discuss details of transactions on Grindr and to immediately request contacts to text me on my Burner app.) I was on my way back from Chicago where I was supposed to meet a guy from Friendlyboy who turned out to be a total flake and con-man -- he was "on his way" to our meeting when he texted that his expected "donation" was now doubled -- I demurred and, as expected, he did not show. Friendlboy is quickly becoming my least favorite hookup site.

I've had the Burner app for a couple of years but have never used the number for any type of verification. I only use the Burner number for texting and for receiving phone calls from escorts - and I've had no problems. You could send a text/email question to the Burner Support Team - they've always gotten back to me within 24 hours. I bet they would have an answer or a work-around fto solve he problem. I just did a Google search for my current Burner number and it revealed that the number is an "assigned number" from "Bandwidth.com" which, according to Wikipedia, provides "virtual phone numbers" for Google Voice and, apparently, for the Burner app. I'm guessing that these online sites (like Craigslist) are able to recognize that these are "virtual phone numbers" and rejects them for verification purposes.

In this case, I could understand the escort asking to be paid upfront.

From the photos on your RM page @BodeBrentwood , I'm thinking whoever was at Vishara Video that day got a mouthful. Is Vishara across from the bus terminal (I haven't been to NYC in years so my geography is a bit rusty)?

I just so happened to catch the BB show the other night (the one where the contest was to catch things like strawberries, meatballs while sliding down a table) and I have to say, it was pretty vapid. If it weren't for the eye candy, esp the southern boy (who kept quoting his mama) and the long-haired hunk, I would never watch. The plot line was confusing (I guess you have to watch from the first episode) and it all seemed like one big back-stab.

Another red flag that I've noticed lately is when the photos of the escort display a muscular body (sometimes even a bodybuilder's body) and yet the profile description of "Body Type" is "Slim" or "Average." Also, if there is any lack of consistency in the photos (e.g. four of the photos show a young, athletic body but one photo shows an average-looking or older body), the least flattering photo is always the most accurate photo. Finally, a current "Pro" ad on A4A from "AlexANDBrice" (super hot photos) in Indy/Chicago: !TWO GUY'S HERE!We can host at our hotel or travel to you we give the best four hand body rubbs and plus so much more DEBT ONLY (VENMOO OR CASSHAPP) (MUST GIVE DONATION IN ADVANCE) BEFORE GIVING OUR LOCATION --- Just out of curiosity, I sent them a message asking if I couldn't just pay them cash when I met them and they replied: "Can't you read? Send the money first via Venmo!" Seriously???

MrEroticGuy, upon entering the client's abode, whips out his sizeable schlong and tells you to "touch it." I guess you'd have to be a pretty good actor to obey his command (without a hint of hesitation) if you were straight. Or else he thinks that police are not permitted to engage in any sexual interaction in connection with a sting.
