I haven't used that particular phrase but I've said "fuck off" and "go fuck yourself", and lived to tell the tale. Usually, I was provoked and they started with foul language. And I come from a blue-collar family, and if you're in a union, telling your superiors to get fucked it like a typical Wednesday. All that said, is it a good use of our public money to investigate a Twitter account?

I don't think what he did was wise, given the world we do live in. But I don't think public employees should have to give up their right to criticize an elected official simply because they're employed by the city or state. SCOTUS doesn't have an ethical or moral standard. If it did, most of the justices couldn't pass it. So for me, it's less about the administrative state and more about power differentials that favor the lap dogs of capital over working people. And in terms of Erick Adame (the meteorologist), from what I've read from him he was dealing with a form of sex addiction. I think that deserves care, not termination. I was completely unaware of what he was up to until he was fired. So why wouldn't the company handle it privately, let him go get help and come back to work? Well, because the company is owned by homophobic right-wingers.

I align with the group that doesn't care that he had an OnlyFans or told Vicky Paladino off. She's a monster and utterly corrupt, as are most politicians. For me, unless they can demonstrate that he did something wrong in his job, his comments about politicians and his OF is irrelevant. And as people who engage with sex workers, I think we should stand up for them when a bunch of hypocritical douche bags attack them.

They note that they're "blood brothers." So maybe they each pricked a finger and rubbed their blood together. I think they're just selling a fantasy.

Yet COVID deaths will outpace automobile deaths for the fourth year in a row.

This is such a silly response, I can barely bring myself to respond to it. BUT, here we go. US automobile deaths were 42,000 in 2021 versus 415,399 COVID deaths in the same year. So 10 times more people died from COVID than in car accidents. In the US alone, the early interventions of closures, social distancing, etc., likely saved around 1 million lives. Without them the death toll in the US would have been 2 million in 2020, rather than 1 million. Once vaccines became available, they saved hundreds of thousands of lives: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/13/1098071284/this-is-how-many-lives-could-have-been-saved-with-covid-vaccinations-in-each-sta Fewer NYer are taking the subway because many now work from home part or full-time. That also correlates with higher personal automobile use because people are home more and running errands, etc. And there are some people who have chosen to drive, rather than take the subway as masking has declined. TL;DR: You need a logic course.

You're confusing the enormous social pressure from the government, media, employers, etc. to normalize COVID-19 as "endemic", with people being "highly educated." In fact, they've been fed a ton of misinformation. I live in NYC and I'd say 20% of people are still masking in most public settings. If you accept that a novel virus should be allowed to kill 100,000 people this year because it creates a minor inconvenience for you, that's sociopathy. EDITED TO REMOVE POLITICAL REFERENCE

I saw him once. The massage was mediocre, but his pics are accurate. He’s a handsome older gentleman. If that’s what you’re looking for; he’s good.

It’s 2023. The range of reason’s people need to pay cash is they’re cheating. And I’m open to any relationship configuration, but I don’t fuck with cheaters. i can’t think of another valid reason for not being able to Venmo someone $50 with the note saying “Dinner.”

Honestly, the people responding to @Jarrod_Uncut with "I'll NEVER make a deposit. I'd rather die than Venmo a provider $25 to hold my spot" are just tedious at this point. While a few clients on here have had some negative experiences, providers are taking on far more risk than we are. They risk violence, legal action, etc. We risk being out $50 if it falls through. Also, we all make deposits on services and even sign agreements with other services providers that allow them to charge us if we don't show up for an appointment. And if you're going to claim you've "never done that", you're full of shit. Lastly, given how much clients talk shit about providers on here, you really don't need to jump on every thread when a provider complains about us.

Turnabout is fair play!

Oddly, as an Irish-American, I don't really see providers promoting themselves as Irish. However, we've met this provide a couple of times and he's super fun. I'm not sure if he's Irish per se but he's a ginger who looks the part. https://rent.men/GingerBeard

I live with my husband and we live in a co-op with some elderly neighbors. I try to keep an eye out for them.

This is my suspicion as well. I have never subscribed to an OF for more than a month. We see a guy pretty regularly who does porn as well. It doesn't seem to impact his desire to still escort and he hasn't blown up his rates.

Jacob Wheeler is in Brooklyn Mr. Sensual on Rentmasseur is in Brooklyn. NYWolfman if you can host, a lot of guys “service” NYC but live in Brooklyn so that opens up possibilities. I’ll see if I can think of others. it depends on where in Brooklyn. Some guys in Bed Stuy or Bushwick are less convenient for me than Manhattan.

Again, you just repeat pro-corporate talking points without having done the slightest bit of actual research. I guess you work in healthcare because you're fluent enough in the terminology to sound like you know what you're talking about. But, you don't. A study in Massachusetts definitively concluded that universal masking indoors greatly prevented the spread of COVID-19 among students and staff. When masking was dropped, transmission increase 44 percent. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2211029 Like many other people who put their mild inconvenience ahead of other people's lives, you pretend to care about efficacy but that's just a "mask" for your own selfishness.

Citation needed for your claim that people live ten years longer than they "should." And your callousness really knows no bounds. I hope you're going to follow the Zeke Emmanual plan.

Dude, you're not fit for purpose when it comes to this conversation. You're conflating correlation with causation, vaccination campaigns with NPIs, and rhinovirus with COVID, MERS and SARS. No, 500 people do not day from rhinovirus every day in the US. In fact, probably no one does. COVID-19 is the THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH in the US for three years in a row. Even the combination of flu and pneumonia, which disproportionately kill the elderly, do not have that death rate. You haven't provided factual information. You've posted pro-corporate propaganda, which I'm sure also makes you feel better about sitting on your ass during mass death. COVID could be eliminated if we chose to do so. It could have been nipped in the bud before it killed 10 million people. And it wasn't for one reason: profits. So keep shilling for billionaires who wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

I didn't read past this because 500 people do not die every day from the common cold. So everything past this point is just justification for letting people die. As for the other viruses, decades were spent with a variety of interventions to solve those and you're ready to give up after three years. I fervently hope you do not work in healthcare. If so, it's time to change careers.

Yes, I mask at concerts, broadways show, grocery stores, any place where I cannot be certain if I'm around irresponsible people like you. And, like the people who survived SARS and MERS, I will likely use them in various situations for the rest of my life. The primary different in my life is that Democrats reached a new low of cowardice in the face of pressure from their donors to "re-open." So now COVID-19 is being normalized instead of combatted. Again, if we took this tact with smallpox, AIDS or polio, those infections would still be ravaging the world. You don't know anything about mask efficacy. If everyone wears them, there's far less virus in the air and transmission reduces. Even if you're just wearing an N-95 for your own protection, it has a measurable impact of testing positive for COVID-19. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7106e1.htm So, you're repeating a bunch of debunked talking points you got from editorial writers. It's tedious to engage with people who don't actually care about others.

This is literally one of the silliest takes that gets circulated. The very wealthy and elite politicians are being very well protected. See how far they went at Davos to ensure COVID wasn't spread. PCR to enter with an access wristband tied to result HEPA air cleaners in every room Possibly amped up ventilation UVGI/Far-UVC Masks at some events https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2023/01/20/world-economic-forum-is-taking-all-these-covid-19-precautions-at-davos/?sh=6dcc34696304 So elites are making sure they don't get COVID, while you are saying the rest of us should just accept endless illness and death.

Again, you're assisting the Biden administration and it's corporate masters in normalizing mass death. I will mask in certain instances (subways, planes, etc) probably for the rest of my life. I get fewer colds. I haven't had the flu in over three years. Thank God you weren't in charge of ACT-UP or we'd have no HIV treatments or PreP because you'd want to accept we had to sit on our hands and accept death.

And people who work in public health. You've participated in the normalization of 500 Americans dying every day from a preventable infectious disease because you found masking inconvenient. I still mask indoors and on public transit because I a) don't want COVID and b) don't want to spread it.

I feel like if you go with someone new, you have to be willing to risk being disappointed whereas with someone you know you know what you're getting.

I don't see the profile anymore
