The thing about porn/sex pricing, it's the same with mobile games. The prices are based around what some people will pay. The people who will pay are more important than all the people who don't pay. In mobile gaming those people are referred to as whales. With sex/fetish stuff the pricing is based on all the rich people with disposable income or old dudes with no options. To them they are willing to pay that, and that's why it will never seem financially worth it to everyone else who can get the real thing mixed with a little pornhub.

My friend has a foot site where she sells socks, feet pics, sub sessions, stuff like that. Id never be able to afford any of that since that's what rich pervy dudes pay her. But I'm pretty impressed at her hussle and as her friend I do get a lot of freebies. I think it's hot she can make that much but it does suck I'd never be able to afford anything like that. I could, it just wouldn't be worth it. I could take like 10 girls out for the price of one hour with her lol

What can we do to help raise turnout for the Senate run-out vote? What will Biden be able to accomplish in his plan if democrats fail to take both seats?

Thanks for what you do and your focus on helping people who have given up or become less motivated to seek help. That is a very tough challenge but we are typically the ones who need help the most. If my case manager hadn't pushed me through all my resistance I would not have taken their advice. The first few days I dismissed all of their ideas saying it wouldn't work or I don't like how that feels or this is great help for someone else, 'I appreciate your prayers but I'm probably going to hell if any of that stuff works' just such a downer.

But she took me to the library, she took me to entrepreneurship class for starting food trucks, she helped me get a free doctor, food stamps, vouchers for goodwill, the fact that she cared so much made me feel worth fighting for. She helped me recognize the strides I had made and kept me grounded from spinning off into these isolated mental rabbit holes for weeks at a time.

I took her advice that I'm not unlikable I just forgot how to have a conversation and focus the enthusiasm on the other person and let them guide things and bounce it back. So I started trying that in online dating, suddenly tons of people were interested in getting to know me, I felt like maybe this whole time I wasn't uninteresting or shitty I just forgot how to talk and make friends and believe in people much because of my own guarded attitude and low self esteem.

One of the girls I met online I randomly got into a conversation with her about job hunting and how I've been trying to move out of family house but nothing pays enough. She reffered me to start at her job, and even offered me help and advice through the interview and onboarding process. I thought I would suck at the interview but they loved my responses and conversation skills. Now for about 4 months I have this job I am getting paid well, I have a new car, looking around for houses, taking medications and supplements regularly. People believe in me and are supporting me to make the most of my skills. I have a budget, I have alarms and lists and tracking apps, fancy soaps and candles, a circadium rhythm again. I'm just a completely different person than I was 6 months ago.

Sorry for the rant but what I'm trying to say is without all that pushing emotional support and the boost to my ego I got from a stranger when I was broken I am just not sure how many of these things would have ended up the same. I didn't think anyone could help me, I had so many frustrating experiences. People who are feeling the most discouraged, trapped and helpless are often the ones most in need of help and the harder it is to find it the more convinced you are there is no way out, or you don't deserve it.

Again, thanks for doing what you do in your focus on outreach.

Thank you for your answer. I am hoping there are some approaches that Biden can still take to approach the problems he has outlined which wouldn't depend completely upon Senate approval.
