Yeah this is strange. People need to stop vilifying sex work. If the person is doing it willingly, they're not hurting anyone, and they enjoy doing it, what's the problem?

There's a spectrum going from someone just posting stuff and getting paid to shameless exploitation of vulnerable people through parasocial relationships. The latter can be very lucrative.

They are all enabling drug cartels, so no, none of them are good. We can't go around and say companies if not by law are at least morally responsible for child labour and forced labour camps in their supply chain and at the same time ignore that every fucking dealer gets their shit from sources that do the very same thing. There might be exceptions for some drugs, I'm not that deep into it, but in general there is no moral way to sell illegal drugs.

Who cares if they are Drug dealer or on Only Fans. Do they put the cart back at the store?

Ashelynreply
lemmy.blahaj.zone

I gotta be honest, my bf or I still make sure the cart goes back every time we shop, but I increasingly question whether I should bother. These grocery stores keep raising their prices well above inflation so they can pocket the rest and brag to shareholders about it, at the cost of people who actually shop there.

It's tempting to say that if they're going to play that game, they get no courtesy from me as a customer and can hire more cart collectors. It's miniscule on an individual level, but it is unpaid labor.

There's the argument that unreturned carts mostly inconvenience other customers, but honestly if the store is exploiting both customers' goodwill and wallets, I think it's fine to make the experience at that store just that little bit worse; maybe that last little push will encourage people to shop elsewhere (where it's an option of course, i.e. not a small town).

I don't feel this urge at stores like H Mart even though they have so many fewer return stalls and it's often a longer walk to do so.

I guess this is kind of an antithesis to Shopping Cart Theory I've been developing in my head over the past little while. It's conditional on the store itself being overtly greedy, but I think there might be something to it.

Decoy321reply
lemmy.world

Nah this is just trying to rationalize being a dick to your fellow human being who's trying to park. The employee making min wage isn't caring that the carts are further, it just means they can waste more time per trip.

If you actually wanted to do something against the corporation, you shop somewhere else.

6

Just like the shopping cart theory itself, this is mostly just a thought experiment at this point in time.

The point of a protestation is to make it hard for others to ignore, and make it clear what the end condition is. I don't plan on just starting to do this as an individual because it would have no impact; I still make sure my own carts get returned personally.

The point stands that our goodwill is frequently exploited for profit, often under the pretense that it's just basic human decency.

You should check with the laws in your state (or your insurance agency, if you have a low enough deductible.).

Just because the grocery store puts up a sign that they are not responsible for damages doesn't mean they aren't. They have a first amendment right to lie, and a game-theory reason to do so.

I find people paying for OF way weirder than people doing OF

17

Honestly I don't get the OF hate in general. We all have watched porn and we probably liked at least some of what we have seen. What is wrong about earning a living with producing what other people want and like? And as I don't think, we argue about people consuming porn but about paying for it, what the fuck is wrong with paying the content creator? Why do we prefer paying agencies with ad revenue while the agency effectively scams their talent? Why no ads but cash? Why agency and not talent?

11

What’s weird about buying OF content? Not everyone subscribes for the parasocial interactions.

lemmy.world

Why do you expect to be reward for being a good person? That’s just the baseline everyone should meet.

You will never get financially ahead of everyone else by being a good worker bee. Sorry your parents and teachers lied to you. Doing well in school and getting a degree is not a pathway to riches. The vast majority of people who went from rags to riches went off the beaten path and took a massive risk.

Also sex work doesn’t make someone a bad person.

Totally agree, although I would say "... the vast majority of people who went from rags to riches were self-obsessed assholes at at least one part of their life".

Exactly. You get what you give. You give the bare minimum to society, and society will give it right back. You want more, give more. Go help your community. Take out your elderly neighbor's recycling. Volunteer at your local shelters/soup kitchens. Attend some local events. Sit in on city council meetings. When I moved out of my small town a couple years ago, I learned that real life is a lot like online forums. You have to lurk before you can post. Learn the language, the local etiquette and taboos. Watch the people in your neighborhood, their interactions. Blend into the background, and observe. Talk little, hear and see much.

So you're a good person but people doing OF aren't?? Just start an OF and get over yourself.

28

I mean, the rich drug dealers you know are rich from dealing, aren't the ones to have that lifestyle long term.

The sensible and rich drug dealers are the ones you wouldn't know about. Quite a few of them are landlords here in the UK (I can't provide numbers, just a what I know thing so I won't be offended if no one believes it - these are just my ramblings, officer).
Basically just sensible ways to turn black market income into seemingly legitimate income, through either self-employed businesses or other means.

They'll have seemingly regular jobs, and will do their best to appear legitimate to not raise any red flags. You'd be very surprised at who the most successful drug dealers are, however chances are you'll never know as well.

25

I've known some folk. From weed to cocaine.
They absolutely do this.

Independent contracting, roofing, concrete, etc. Oh. And farmers. Lots and lots of farmers. Easy to wash money.

They have the best/shadiest lawyers who absolutely know what's going on. They are paid very well.

They live fairly modestly. Dress smart, not flashy. They don't show off or draw attention.

They're smart.

They don't fuck around.

There are even niches within foot fetish porn. Like people with a fetish often have a very specific kind of fetish. Foot fetishists aren’t just into feet but for example also want to see the feet in specific color nylon socks or have a humiliation fetish. And most of the niches are probably underserved.

I guess so, but in my head every body has feet so the supply has to be high, compared to having the skill to draw furry stuff

Selection bias. As if drug dealers never go to prison, or die early...

I'd say the same applies to only fans models. Well, not the prison or early grave part. Most successful models are a tiny fraction of people who traded sex on tape for the equivalent of minimum wages.
