And some who make random comments that add little to the conversation. Like me making this comment.

Thanks for this penetrating insight!

I second that!

Good questions. And quite separate from whether a client cares if their escort cums or not. I can see reasons for the revelation being disconcerting. Part of what some people are buying is the illusion that it's a relationship, with an accompanying illusion of exclusivity. Without the revelation it's easier for the client to maintain the illusions. Even when they know that neither is true. Knowing the reality and accepting the illusion requires holding contradictory ideas simultaneously. Being confronted with the contradiction is buzzkill? Perhaps. Building the ability to accept the reality of the experience in the moment, while also being able to ignore anything that's at odds with it, including being told explicitly that the escort is saving his cum for someone else, I'd suggest is a skill worth learning. Being able to simultaneously hold two (or more) contradictory ideas is sometimes necessary.

At least until the start of the Rounders season.

What you said, perhaps lunch at 5pm followed by the show and then dinner. What? Only McDonalds is open at that hour, you say?

I don't think there's any single, or easy answer to this. I'd say, though, that he is leaving the door open to bottoming but I wouldn't assume that 'for more money' is the determinant, and each will have his own criteria. Yes, it could be money, it could also depend on the person he's talking to and how he feels about them, or something as practically based as how big they are. So yes, if you're not into his 'more' activities, ask!

I had read it as saying that it wasn't safe to tell him, rather than flying wasn't safe because it still clearly is (recent changes to staffing arrangements in the FAA notwithstanding), but I now suspect that it was flying he was talking about. There may have been slight changes in aviation safety, but if so they are within the margin of error. I'm about to take my chances again, and I'm more concerned about the standard of in-flight service, or lack thereof.

Okay, this one is either ironic adherence to the title of the thread or just plain perverse! You choose! Snake catchers find 102 red-bellied black snakes in a backyard nest in Sydney's west - ABC News WWW.ABC.NET.AU More than 100 venomous snakes have been captured in a backyard in Sydney's west in what snake catchers said was...

And they only agreed to a house call after you brought it into their shop and they couldn't find the fault.

The loss of de minimis exemptions will be a petty annoyance to some people (not everyone orders from Temu etc but many do) and a small cost to those affected, but it is irrelevant to the question of how to profit (or attempt to) from the effects of US or wider tariffs. The short answer is probably don't try as there is no certainty about whether they will be imposed or once imposed remain in force, and how other countries will respond. Whether the current Sturm und Drang is a precursor of a major upheaval that might threaten globalisation and change the dynamics of national and international economics is probably something that individual investors would be wise not to try to use as part of an investment strategy.

Nah, don't ask for photos, just hire him! But since you had already asked ....

I guess you have to rely on other people's assessments of his kissing ability!

Ok guys, enough! This topic is about the tragedy of air crashes of which there have just been two in the US. At a stretch, it's about airports in the DMV region. Cut the coded snide remarks about the politics of the issues or of your fellow forum members, especially to quibble over minor details, they are off topic. And while you're at it, kindly refrain from other forays off the topic of the thread.

He didn't mention his brother, or say who his sister-in-law is married to. It could equally be his wife's sister. Of course you may be correct in your assumption, but at this stage an assumption is all that it is.

On the subject of omelettes, cooking involves knowledge of science, and we have seen accounts here of people of all ages having no idea about cooking or what is involved, even the science of operating a can opener. In the actual cooking process, sometimes there are tricky processes, what makes dough rise, eggs stay frothy when cooked, meat stay or be made tender, others are simple. Cooking a proper omelette is complex, the pan needs to be right, the eggs beaten into a froth and it needs to be cooked properly to remain aerated. An American omelette is much less so, beaten eggs on a hot flat surface and folded up when it's done. Not being able to make such a dish, or to boil an egg is unfortunate but neither is instinctive, they have to be learnt so is a bit concerning, but there were always people who were unable to do so. Why do you ask? Maybe he doesn't have a brother, or his brother is not married to this inept woman.

I heard an ABC podcast, I think called 'This Working Life' (I heard it on broadcast radio) where this generation was discussed. On the topic of older people's complaints that they expect an award for everything, the speaker responded, 'Well which generation was it that gave them all those awards so that now they expect them?' A very good question, I thought!

Gosh, what an innovation!

A very important one as @José Soplanucas and I can attest!

Forum member @SamRockdale is based in Austin. I haven't met him though.

Dulles is an alternative that is less painful now that the Metro goes there, but many will still opt for a central location like National. The real question is whether National is safe and if not what can be done to avoid more tragedies like this one. It can, and although it's over 40 years since the Florida airways crash, two at the same airport is concerning. For the sake of the innocent lives lost this week, the investigation needs to look at what can be done to make it safer. If that means fewer flights or higher fees to pay to enhance safety measures so be it. Let those rather than the whim of politicians concerned for their own convenience decide whether such an airport can be commercially viable. Edit to add: If military aviation in the vicinity is essential for operational reasons (security flights) or the affairs of state (VIP transport) then civilian air traffic should be limited to the extent needed to allow that, but if the military aviation relates to routine tasks, for example the daily operations of Fort Belvoir it is that which should be limited to ensure the safety of civil aviation at National. But this thread, although prompted by the American Airlines crash is about the wider topic of the human tragedy for those affected by crashes.

Have a happy, happy birthday @MikeBiDude, I hope you can get wet, and in a good way (see photo in previous post!).

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Vote early, vote often!!

Punch? What punch? Who said there was punch?
