Nah. For shits and giggles. Some folks are funny as hell. Just another passing faze, IMO. But that Fallout tho. And I wish the audio could have been recorded of 7 of us on Blops 3. The Larry Holmes of the series.......
By Silky Go To PostI'm really enjoying this show on Netflix called Between.
I watched one and a half episodes and it was, no hyperbole, one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
IT'S FUN TO SECRETLY DRUG YOUR FRIENDS BECAUSE IT'S CHRISTMAS

I just want to come through and thank the mods. I'm over on somewhere else that starts with an R and yeah Slaent mods be on it properly. Shout out to y'all for getting the filth trolls out of here. Ran into a BLM troll and did not take kindly to the provocation.
Everybody in my neighborhood today is blasting different kinds of music simultaneously. It's a cacophony of 90's R&B, trap, bachata, house, and reggaeton. I'm forced to blast my own shit just to drown it out. I think I'm gonna go left with The Crystal Method all afternoon. Maybe some Dream Theater. Madness.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
i've had some terrible experiences having dinner with white american families tbh... remember my best friends mom saying she was gonna make dinner for us. i was in 4th grade, all i knew was good cooking hope.
this woman really just boiled up some hot dogs and said that was it. i didn't even know what to say. went to be hungry and confused

Some white people cook real strange and then claim it's to taste the essence of whatever rather than drown it in sauce or seasoning. Shit is just what.
I believe it. I take pride in my cooking. I refuse to let my dad cook for me ever again. My mom though knows how to cook especially the Bosnian stuff you can't just buy/go to a restaurant for. I also won't cook something on the regular unless I am certain I can do it well.
My dad worked in the restaurant industry for twenty years and still thinks steaks are always meant to be well done and dry because bacteria.

Oh god when my dad was on that trip my mom would just cook ours regular and leave his in the pan longer.

Their ancestors conquered half the globe looking for spices. That's the sad part.
Signed into steam to see if I could find some clues as to what to get my little brother for Xmas. And ended up looking at his reviews.
Someone, I think in here, posted a youtube clip a little while back of a woman singing and playing an instrument (guitar, I think) on stage. She was like Esperanza, but she wasn't Esperanza.
I gotta know.

By Jackben Go To PostHow's it going DYgood man, just crazy busy with work... got a month off to situate all my stuff for the next 2-3 months of nonstop grind. contract work is lovely, painful, and rewarding all at the same time. don't think i'll ever be suited for the 9-5.

I've been putting in overtime almost every week for the last few months. It's really helped me save; finally starting to get into retirement investment and that stuff so planning to start that up in the new year.

I forgot what you are doing now, my guesses are journalism stuff, still working for Uncle Sam or some private contractor gig.
Y'all got any thoughts on this James Deen news? Seems like he's a super duper asshole. Worst part to me is that a lot of folks already wanna downplay the realities about the frequency of rape, nevermind when it happens to a sex worker.
By Jay Whatever Go To PostY'all got any thoughts on this James Deen news? Seems like he's a super duper asshole. Worst part to me is that a lot of folks already wanna downplay the realities about the frequency of rape, nevermind when it happens to a sex worker.I'm really, really just taken back by the whole thing. No one wants to think of their friend as a rapist. No one. That's why there are people sticking up for him, promoting his shit despite all this, etc. I don't think its the right thing to do, but I understand. A guy who's been around for damn near 20 years and made a LOT of friends is gonna have people that were gonna be largely taken back by a rape allegation over twitter. It is what it is. Its not the same as a tape of a high school girl getting taken advantage of by football players and a whole town coming together to say that she was a whore anyways or something. Its more complicated. A lot more complicated too because the implications of this are Cosby level in that it effects an industry that walks on the thinnest ice around.
Its a much bigger deal than "It should be taken seriously" because at one point you could easily say that Stoya and James Deen were each one of the biggest tickets in the adult industry. There's crazy money there. If Stoya of all people was abused, then that means that as a producer, as an in demand/reliable male performer, and as a product pusher - there was a way for him to take advantage of a LOT more people with much less clout along the way. With the decline of the contract performer and the shortening of career's as a whole... well, there's a lot of women who'd be in harm's way with this guy. A hell of a lot. And that's the massive floodgate that companies are running from right now. Even though Stoya and James' situation was borne in their personal, off-set relationship. Tori on the other hand... I REALLY don't know what to think about that. I could've sworn she's said things about this in the past that were either pushed aside, dismissed, or whatever. She's never liked him. Ashley Fires' statements really just show how fine the razor is too regarding comfort levels between performers on and off set. Some people don't care, some people want to feel as comfortable as possible with someone that they're about to do a scene with, some people shut off completely to go to work then head home ASAP - one mixed signal and everyone is fucked. What happened with her is something is common to near all sex workers. The business is sex, so when there's bad communication at any fucking point of the day from the intro to the chairs being put up, you're not looking at a "oh I need to leave my lunch in the fridge with my name on it" situation at all. You're looking at a "I was fucking raped and there was nothing to do because everyone felt I was okay with it because we seemed so cool 10 minutes ago" situation.
While on the topic... A lot of people know James from kink work because the biggest female names that have worked with kink, typically worked with him. That's it. And that's just a portion of his career. So whenever I see people screaming "He's a power craved scumbag" I'm kinda laughing because the guy comes off like the biggest Norm / high school clown nerd you've ever seen in anything else. You can't exist as a male performer with a series of complaints. ESPECIALLY with Kink. Shit, Kink has afucking vetting process lol. Their male performers may as well work with shock collars. The idea of the adult industry facilitating something that people are implying is huge.
That being said.... I still don't know how I feel about the whole situation. I'm more interested in seeing how it all plays out. This is nothing like Tera Patrick or Cora Corina. Plus everyone who's done a scene or picked up a webcam can influence the entire process as well.

This time last year I was pissed that I couldn't blow all my money on Black Friday. This year I was happy as fuck because I didn't get paid until AFTER Black Friday, realized I don't need anything other than new suits (and to get them tailored), and that I'd need to budget for the next 2-3 months as well as find a school schedule more accommodating to my worklife. Feel like I grew up all over again during these past 6 months.
And yeah I'm junior contracting. Its WILD how much networking has to go down to be successful in contract work in general. I feel like I spent a solid year just getting my foot in the door. Things are much better now but FUCK
One of the girls said he did it on set. Maybe I'm naive, but I'd assume a porn set would be a safe place for sex, what with ALL THE PEOPLE STANDING AROUND WATCHING.

That's EVERYONE's job then. The bystander effect doesn't really apply when everyone knows precisely what can fuck their livelihood up. Everyone around is on their ass if that's true. Once implied, it means that everyone from the performer to the person who owns the property to the guy holding the light is complicit.
Scenes have stopped for much less and it happens plenty of times too. Also, people commenting on a lot of this stuff are not aware that complaints, comments, remarks, etc are always taken (many times written and documented) when it comes to performers as well (particularly male performers). That shit is serious as fuck too. Performers aren't just thrown onto a couch and told to bone. You don't like that person? You don't even need a valid reason - you will never have to work with them.
So its not just "Is James Deen a dick?" its "is the whole industry facilitating James Deen being a dick?" which is a hell of a lot bigger.
I don't know his full status in the industry. I don't imagine even the most popular male performers would have more clout than the top women though. If he's also a behind the scenes guy who pulls a lot of weight, or if it's generally just a boys club kinda thing, then yeah, I can see culpability landing on the industry.
There was another dude a few years back who came up on rape charges, and I remember he was thrown under the bus pretty quickly. One of those bangbus dudes I think.

It's as Dy said, if people accepted the idea that rapists are amongst their own then they'd have to recognize that they're not monsters, they're a friend, family member, significant other etc.
