Personally it's not the body whoring that bothers me as much as the undeserved financial gain.

Explain to me how this is undeserved? Also explain to me why you are the judge on what is deserved income and what isn't?

The people who do this when they're young won't really have any proper idea of hard earned life status, so when it all falls apart on them once they don't "got the stuff", they're in for a rude awakening about how the world works.

Why is that your concern? Let them experience their rude awakening and learn from it then.

I'm kidding, and honestly I'm like 80% sure she doesn't know how to hook up the consoles those games are for.

Why? Do you think she is not intelligent because she wears skimpy outfits and has an Only Fans? Disappointed in this take, to be honest.

Hypersexuality and female objectivity in society is my problem.

Then stop objectifying females. Her outfit is not the problem. It's the men objectifying them. Do you think that women who are raped "asked for it" too?

I find it disturbing that YouTube allows links to actual porn sites in the descriptions of their videos.

Why? Honestly curious as to why? Is it because porn doesn't align with your religious beliefs? 

 

Honestly the slut-shaming and anti-female vibe in this thread is fucking disgusting and cringeworthy.

It's different for women tho, because most men are just ridiculously horny most of the time. It's REALLY easy to sell sex to men because we REALLY want sex, like a LOT.

I'm not sure if most women would be able to relate to that, but I have heard that trans men who start taking testosterone experience a MASSIVE increase in sexual desire, so I would guess this is primarily a male phenomenon.

You sound like someone that is blissfully unaware of Outlander.

Sex definitely sells to women -- it just has to be packaged differently.

(but yes, joking aside, testosterone is a hell of a drug)

I feel strongly that... .Levar Burton should be given a shot at guest hosting jeopardy, like wtf? He's a literary whiz, his voice is smooth as silk, and I mean everybody loved Reading Rainbow...Butterfly in the skkyyyyy! Ken Jennings was too up-tight, he looked like he was smuggling a capsule of cocaine up his ass at the airport. And this new guy the producer... fuck him! Aaron Roger's let Olivia Munn slip through his fingers and just seems like an all around douche. Fucks sake, get Lavar Burton on the show already!

You call it a “physiological toll”. Tradesmen call it “a hard days work”.  Sounds like you are making a great argument for unionization, we dont let contractors treat our members like that. 
 

Residential HVAC does suck though, especially when it looks like the owner of your company has never heard of a come-along, or a hi-boy lift. My wifes friends father did resi-hvac for 40 years (bought the shop he apprenticed with) and does triathalons at 70, but he invested in equipment and tools. Sure he is beat up, but obviously can still function at a high level. Retrofits and upgrades are just a small part of that, new construction is considerably easier. 

Pouring and dressing cement by hand, is extremely difficult. The cement masons around here get a retirement package at 50 because of that. 

Unionization isnt really a thing outside of industrial settings or working in the city. You would have to drag me kicking and screaming to be within 10miles of a city, let alone spend any amount of time within one.

And yes the new construction was a god send when it occasionally popped up. But 90% of my work was in repairs and replacement in  residential. We had come alongs and the hand truck that can walk up the stairs. They only help so much, especially in the turn of the 19th century homes common here. 

It was good money, great even. But working 12hrs on installs and then being given a bunch of maintenance/repairs "on your way home" 6 days a week tolling around in insulation and whatever animal nests/remains/crap, sucking in dust absolutely takes a physiological toll. Only a fool would just write that off "just a hard day of work. " It screwed up my body and resulted in a relationship gone south, that I was able to thankfully repair later. 

This is the COMMON mode of operation for trades around me. As the other guys and companies I dealt with all had the same stories and could barley move at 40 and the oldest guy I met in my time there was 53 and his knees were like cement mixers. 

Fuck that life. I did it for years too many

Im speaking about commercial/industrial construction, which is 100x the market share of retrofit residential. 
 

Is there always going to be guys that get shafted? Yeah. You can have 4 guys spend a week digging fence posts by hand, or spend 1k on a post hole augur and have 2 guys finish them in a day.   
 

Sounds like the owner of your guys company was terrible. i would have quit too!

 

And what you said about unions, purely is not true but I dont care to debate that here.
