Caleb Carr's The Alienist (TNT Adaptation)
+ quoththeraven replied to LoveNDino's topic in TV and Streaming services
If you mean a fingerprint, as opposed to something more esoteric, that sounds more like Thomas Harris' Red Dragon, the book that introduced Hannibal Lecter to the world. -
Caleb Carr's The Alienist (TNT Adaptation)
+ quoththeraven replied to LoveNDino's topic in TV and Streaming services
I don't think so but it's been so long since I read it that I don't remember. Mostly I remember the period setting and the use of historical figures. It and Carr's second novel, Angel of Darkness (which I liked better) are both historical murder mysteries. There's nothing mentioned about it here either, but if it's not the same book this seems unlikely to jog your memory. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alienist -

That wouldn't surprise me. That was (and may still be) the official party line in Iran and until the early 2000s, when a well-known actor came out as gay in response to a direct question and immediately lost all his acting and hosting jobs, South Koreans denied the existence of homosexuality among their population. Just FYI, the actor became a successful restauranteur and has done some acting and TV hosting in the meantime, so the long-term consequences have probably rewarded his honesty, but at least one other celebrity who came out years later committed suicide because of his family's reaction.

Thanks for the clarification. It doesn't help when the information a site permits is limited like that.

Of course they're less costly. They're not bearing the same costs as taxicabs and they're operating without regulation. That's fine-ish if the company is ready to step in if a driver gets into trouble and do the things the regulations are intended to require, but they're structured so they don't have to do that. Moreover, the insurance they say they require the driver to have? Unless the driver has a commercial policy, an insurer who finds out an accident occurred while driving a customer will likely deny liability.

I don't have a smartphone, so I can't use either Uber or Lyft. I would not use Uber anyway. Their attitude is that of a company that cuts corners on everything. There is no accountability when drivers refuse to serve disabled riders or when customers are assaulted. Their only upside is convenience and price. Besides, the only place I would use it (NYC) is generally better traversed via public transit. In New Jersey, I drive myself. I prefer to risk my own driving than someone else's. I might try Lyft just to help them maintain themselves as an alternative and to reward them for not being as shitty as Uber. (I mean, how is Uber not the United Airlines of unlicensed taxi service?) I agree the concept is great, and if people get good service out of it, great, but between my feeling that it's a riskier proposition for women, that it is unaccountable and that it is underpricing and thus ultimately unsustainable in the long run without price hikes, I'm not a supporter.

In that respect it's like every other site for meeting people with the hope of forming a relationship or connection.

This is probably an elaboration on the same thing as the Time cover story above, but the Uber board of directors ousted CEO Travis Kalanick in June because of the company's poor financial performance and a long history of toxic bro culture that led to the tolerance of sexual harassment of female employees, doxxing and harassing female tech reporters, and conducting invasive opposition research on women alleging they were raped by Uber drivers, including surreptitiously accessing their medical records. https://www.vox.com/conversations/2017/6/30/15900544/uber-travis-kalanick-harassment I also saw elsewhere (probably on Twitter) that Uber's response to a parent's complaint about a driver harassing a teenage girl was to ask why the girl was traveling by herself. The parent's response was "I will never use Uber again." My problem with Uber is primarily that their pricing is artificially low and is set based on their desire to undercut any regulated industry and obtain a monopoly, not any defensible way of recovering their costs (they're not). They also use legal flimflam to skirt costs they should be incurring (by treating drivers as independent contractors, for example, or going to great lengths to disclaim responsibility for drivers' actions). They're irresponsible.

Some escorts do not offer facepics even privately but offer "walk away for free" if their looks aren't satisfactory upon meeting. When the person involved has a reputation and history with favorable reviews, the absence of facepics seems like it shouldn't be a dealbreaker unless the potential client is looking to hire someone with a specific look. I also wonder if anyone has considered that in addition to guaranteeing privacy and discretion (while out in public, a client's status as a client will not be recognized because someone recognizes the escort from his photos), escorts who don't share facepics may be using that to screen clients? There is often a "tut tut this doesn't make business sense" tone to these discussions that assumes the escorts who do this are missing out on a market they want.
-
I'm confused, though. The OP is looking for escorts of Indian ethnic origin. While Pakistani and Bangladeshi escorts might also fit his description, considering those countries were carved out of the territory historically identified as India, "South Asian" and "Mediterranean," which is what RichardLA's profile on Daddy's says, are not the same thing.
-
There are plenty of well-educated, smart escorts, so that doesn't seem like a persuasive distinction.

I read the book shortly after it was published and enjoyed it. -
I also think it would be better not to visit given the restrictions.
