Rants Raves and Stupid Shit in Seattle.

[QUOTE=BackInSea;5991650]Seriously, they should have a section in there on money management.[/QUOTE]The only financial training they're interested in involves how they can manage to get more money out of your wallet for doing less. I once considered keeping track of every time one of them has posted a boo hoo story about needing cash quick because of an unexpected car repair bill, rent increase or trip to the veterinarian, but I decided my time is more valuable.

I think a lot of them have a pimp or even someone they consider to be a "boyfriend" to whom they give all of their money. It's part of the whoring culture, it's astonishing how acceptable a lot of them believe that situation to be. I'll sometimes watch interviews with hookers who work in Los Angeles and even the girls who don't currently have a pimp say they are seeking one. I have a regular who comes up to visit every now and again and she told me last fall that she's looking for ways to invest her money so that she can get out of the game as she said she's "ageing-out". She actually told me how much she makes per day on average and my eyes popped-out, it was quite a bit. I asked her how much of that she's saving as the amount she brings-in is well-over the average income for most Americans. With that kind of money she could be investing in commercial real estate, etc. She was quiet and looked at me as if she were dead clueless. Then I asked, "you aren't giving all of your money away to someone else, are you? Her silence told me that she was. Meanwhile, her pimp "gives her" new hairdos, nails and make-overs, all with the money she's making. For this she's supposed to be appreciative. She knew nothing about stocks, real estate, crypto, nothing. So, yeah, it's true that even the average SW on the street is making a lot of money, however she isn't keeping that money. She hands it over to someone else and believes that this is the way it should be.

[QUOTE=BackInSea;5991650]100% AGREED! If these hookers are seeing 1 client a day at $300/ hr x 5 day x 52 weeks = $72 K / year. But these 20-something, GPS entitled hookers will spend, sorry I mean waste, that money on trying to look even more ratchet and buy unnecessary shit.

As the madame of Elliott Bay, Alex made a ton of money. She isn't destitute, but she's much less rich than she used to be. How?

I saw one girl from Alex, who used to work at Rick's, but didn't save any money, and needed to work for Elliott Bay. Unfortunately, she thought an Elliott Bay date was basically a strip show, she didn't kiss and gave a very lame excuse for a blow job. She asked me if I wanted to take her to Burger King afterwards, probably expecting donation extension payment. Turns out, I was the second guy she gave that bad clueless date to, and she was let go. She had nice C cups, and could have been awesome if she only had a clue. She was from Eastern Europe, but spoke good English, so that's not an excuse.

I thought John Coopers pathetic claim of TMMOTI was a complete joke. Of course he was a practicing lawyer for 5 years prior, it shows in how he presents himself and he's very selective with what he says. Thought Jared Bednar did an excellent job pointing out that TBL had 7 to the 6 supposedly CA had. What a sore loser JC must be. Every attempt to sway public perception almost as if Mick McGeaugh had come out of retirement. As if it weren't already bad enough when Tim Peel had to get involved with his opinion on Kadri. No one cares dude. You were forced out because you left your mic on when you admitted that you were "managing the game".

I just received threatening email from the hackers because tna admin wouldn't pay they are going to members now.

Got the same email. I will say that they must have actually hacked it as they had a bunch of my PMs. But I use a burner number and email so don't really care.

TNA really is down for the count. Fuck them. Hope you all used burner numbers and such.

[QUOTE=SeattleRr;5996770]I just received threatening email from the hackers because tna admin wouldn't pay they are going to members now.[/QUOTE]I'm a little disappointed I didn't rate a threat. But I'm well-insulated from any information they have.

Quite an egregious breach; I expect they're going to have to go a long ways back to restore a functioning site.

VBulletin is a pretty solid platform if well-managed, but it's very complex with a LOT of attack surface, especially if highly customized.

I for one have no gripe with the site. The moderation is biased and unprofessional, the reviews are 90% bullshit. But as a shopping catalog for experiences, it's without peer in this market.

I've been poking around the Reddit threads, some people are freaking-out over TNA being down, LOL. My opinion is that I hope it never comes back online. I wonder how much money that site was generating every month and if it's worth the ransom the hackers are asking. If it isn't, then bye bye. I used to poke around in there a bit but never really shopped there. Like most of you, I really came to dislike the overly-pro provider stance, the ridiculous alerts and the men who posted there. I've said this before, but I wonder how many of those weirdos will end-up here on this site, LOL?

I remember a thread from a couple of years ago where guys and providers were talking about security. Most were cavalier about it. This is yet another lesson. Oh fuckin well now.

Skipthegames is currently blocking VPNs due to some type of internet fuckery. That is all.

We'll this fucking sucks. I'm on the fence about paying these pig fuckers. Where is everyone else ont this?
