UFC star made more in 24 hours on OnlyFans than she did 'in her entire fighting career'

Trust me, it's not.

For every story like this, there are literally millions where regular women make next to nothing for their nudes.

Most normal women with OFs usually end up having a few subs from people they know who just want to distribute their nudes among peers. Imagine thinking you're going to make thousands when you end up making less than $100, and now everyone has your nudes.

That's the reality for most people on OF. And it's sad.

14 big landlords used software to collude on rent prices, DC lawsuit says

This is why 'competition lowers prices' is a load of bullshit.

Ya'll ever seen Walgreens and CVS? Same prices, right next to each other.

What about 2 gas station on opposite sides of the street, charging the exact same price for their fuel?

It's a gentleman's agreement at best, and a cartel at worst. Either way, no business is going to start an 'undercut war' because they don't want their opponents to do the same thing.

Here's another fine example: Nvidia and AMD. AMD releases worse GPUs, then just piggybacks off of Nvidia's ridiculous prices.

It's all a game to funnel as much money as possible to as few people as possible.

Homer has stopped strangling Bart in The Simpsons and it’s about time

That's honestly fair. Times do, indeed, change.

Older episodes can easily be written off as the violent-humor cartoons of the day were known for. Newer episodes don't have an excuse to making fun of child abuse.

That said, I do wonder if the satirical nature of the Simpsons was supposed to be evident in Homer strangling Bart. It always struck me as something he just 'did.' Not really funny or unfunny, just a facet of the show. It's possible the writers were originally trying to highlight how a dad like Homer might physically discipline his children out of rage while Marge just lets it happen.

Remember, the Simpsons are supposed to be satire.
