Rants Raves and Stupid Shit in Seattle.

What I see here, with some tiny exceptions, is that the market in the Seattle area is reverting to what it was in the early 90's: shit service, inflated prices, and blatant ripoffs.

When I started pooning, I quickly learned that no matter how many escort services advertised in the PI or the Yellow Pages (or for that matter the Weekly and the Stranger) there really were only about four agencies. And most likely you would get nothing for your $150 except a shabbily dressed and dumpy looking lady who would show up late and do nothing but sit around. Maybe with some crazy upsell she might show a tit and give you a handy. Maybe.

There would be a handful of indies but you'd inevitably end up at a trashy incall that smelled like a lake of cat piss with an uggo. And you'd be out 200 for a lame beej and her laying her fat ass back and spreading for you. Which was a ridiculous price then, probably like paying 500+ for the same shit now.

So yeah, it sucks.

When I use my laptop in incognito mode to use this site, I get the above error. When I use my phone on incognito, it works fine, which is how I'm posting this. What could the problem be?

[QUOTE=RocDiesel;7376826]Clear browser cache and cookies and restart browser?[/QUOTE]I've been having the same issue. I close the window (which clears the cookies and cache) and open a new private window in Firefox. That seems to do the trick.

I cleared the history and the cache, and I still got the error code. I went to settings in Firefox, and in the "Privacy & Security" settings, I disabled "HTTPS-Only Mode". That worked for me this time. Before, when I had "HTTPS-Only" mode enabled, I would type in this website, I would get a warning that it is an http website, and I would still be able to click into this site. But now, with "HTTPS-Only" mode enabled, I get the 502 error message. So disabling "HTTPS-Only" mode seems to do the trick for now.

My old school 2012 MacBook Pro still works as advertised tho. No problems there other than being slow and outdated.

So today, I typed in an exception for this website manually in the Firefox "HTTPS-Only" mode settings. That got me access to the website. Apparently, even though I had disabled Firefox "HTTPS-Only mode", Firefox notes that they may still upgrade some connections to "HTTPS". I run a Linux distribution on an old, cheap computer.

I get 502 bad gateway error on every chrome version I try. I can only get to the site using firefox.

On one hand, I'm getting unsolicited texts from someone I don't want to see begging for visits / money (now blocked).

And on the other hand, I'm unable to book with those I do want to see due to random flaking or the lack of response.

This is why the hobby is slowly dying off here and a lot of guys resort to agencies.

Numbers support your arguments. Top 10% income earners do 49% of consumption of the USA.

[QUOTE=Basch12;7373032]This is a general problem with markets today. Demand is down in many industries, yet sellers maintain prices and in some cases keep jacking it up. The reason is whales. We have more wealthy people today than any time in history, and in the last decade the number of them has risen exponentially. Most producers would rather just market to whales than lower their prices. In fact, raising prices and marketing luxury earns them a better payoff from whales. There is no way to stop these guys. They are ruined gaming, are ruining home ownership and it's no surprise they are ruining pootang too.[/QUOTE]

Is anyone else getting texts and calls from someone claiming to be a gang member watching your family demanding money?
