Obey the fucking law and you're pretty much guaranteed to stay alive.

The Distract Attorney Paul Howard charged cops who used a taser for using a lethal weapon. He is black and was at the time the district attorney. But when it was white cops with a black suspect he and Keisha Lance Bottom-of-the-barrel decide it is not? Cops are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

[Sgt Lurker]

Since when is a used taser a lethal weapon?

A tazer is not a lethal weapon.

The cops were fired because tasers are non lethal

"Microbes" - in this case a corona virus - don't float about in the air. They are transmitted in and on water droplets. The very saliva and mucous that you acknowledge are stopped by masks. Your statement LITERALLY illustrates why mask wearing works.

The current strain of covid-19 has an IFR rate more than twice that of the flu. And unlike flu season it hasn't finished yet. Also, the "R" rate which measures the reproduction rate shows that covid is 3 x more infectious. This data is easily verifiable at actual medical and science sources.

As far as being under 80 and dying. We all are, but it's a function of risk mitigation. With 300+k dead in the US including some on this forum. People who fuck around are finding out the hard way.

Dudes rawdogging hookers but worried about people wearing a mask that doesn't filter out viral microbes. Does nothing. Infected person coughing, spitting in your face, mask will stop most saliva and mucous, but not microbes. All for a disease that has an IFR of the flu. If you're under 80 and die from China virus, your immune system was compromised by HIV, diabetes, cancer, etc. Your death was only pulled forward. You were dying anyway

A reported 50% of healthcare workers are refusing China virus vaccination. Do your own research. Especially re Moderna mRNA vaccination.

The cops were fired because tasers are non lethal and the fact that his partner was at scene removed the ability of Brooks to take the officers weapon. Police carry tasers so that their only option isn't a lethal weapon. You guys don't know what the hell your talking about. You cannot shoot someone in the back, cop or not. Unfortunately, far to many Americans welcome oppression, and some like it if it's targeted towards people they disagree with.

They may be classified as such, but many a taser has been lethal, regardless of intent.

[Niteluvr]

Since when is a used taser a lethal weapon? Breaking news: Fleeing suspect kills 2 police officers with 1 used taser while running away and firing backwards all while being inebriated. Give me a break! Protect and Serve? And they fired weapons and rounds and actually struck a car of a motorist. Now if he had their firearm? Definitely lawful shooting. If he was such a danger, call for backup immediately, surround him immediately, not have a 30 minute conversation. Really? In the majority of cases, Cops are not suppose to be the judge and jury or are they? Yes! I AM biased and apparently, and so are some are you. Biases come from life experiences, so everyone has them. My bias comes from being pulled over several times a year for driving an expensive car and that's my suspected crime.

Shit stain? LOL. Again, if he was a "shit stain", arrest immediately. Don't give me his offences or blotter after the fact for a justification.

None of that matters. Shit stain avoided a lawful arrest and escalated the situation. No need to try to choreograph exactly what you think should happen.

Think you better check your facts:

A taser is considered a deadly weapon under GA law, even according to the DA Paul Howard who charged the officers. You need to stop talking like you're some authority when you're so ill-informed. You want to put your money where your mouth is those cops aren't convicted?

[I Luv Emall]

Those police were called there, it's not like they were looking for trouble. And they were trying to make an arrest, and it had nothing to do with his offenses or blotter after the fact. His resisting arrest is what had to do with his offenses, and why the situation unfortunately turned deadly. I'm not going to sit here and say all the right decisions were made, but I'm also not going to sit here and say that I would have made all the right decisions in the heat of the moment either. The fact is Mr. Brooks created a life-threatening situation by wrestling with armed police officers, striking them, and taking their weapons and using them against them. The taser could have disabled those officers and then who knows what? Certainly there have been many officers killed in the line of duty where struggles just like this started. It's easy in hindsight to look at the video and say what could have been done, but in the heat of the moment with adrenaline going and your life on the line, you're not always thinking your clearest, and instincts do take over. It's unfortunate what happened but that situation was clearly created and escalated by Mr. Brooks, and for you to turn that around and make it the officers' responsibilty is just wrong. Walk a mile if you dare....

Most women that get married aren't truly attracted to their partners. They see you as a stable mate since that guy who gets her wet and fucks her like she likes, well that guy isn't husband or father material. Plus he doesn't want her basic ass because he has so many better options. Then here you come with your mediocre game, if you even have any, that dries her pussy up but she let's you hit a few times, you know after making you wait after a few expensive ass dinner dates. You think she made her first choice wait? Nah he was busting her cheeks on date one. Probably didn't even take her on a date. Then yall get married after 6 months because your so happy someone picked you or maybe you think that's the best thing you can get. Yall sex life dwindles. She keeps telling you she really isn't into sex that much. All the kinky shit you want to do. Well she isn't that type of girl. But in all actuality she isn't that type of girl with you. I've heard stories where guys found out their wives were giving up the booty to their AP when she refused to do anal, or only did it on special nights with her husband. That's just one example. Then yall have kids and then the sex becomes non existent for one excuse after another. You really think women don't know men live for sex. Most men want to fuck at least if not multiple times a day. No they just clearly don't give a fuck about your needs. You already have them ask they need. A stable relationship or marriage. Kids. Nice house. She gets the new car while you drive the old one. Like WTF are your balls? And she knows she has all the negotiating power because you don't want to leave. You still love a woman who clearly gives two shits about you. It you know that if you leave, her and the courts are going to DP you with a strap on. So what incentive does she have to give you some pussy? If all these mature women yall keep finding now apparently want to fuck, you think your wives are any different? You really think they aren't into sex. Unless they have some hormone imbalance. No they want to fuck. They just don't want to fuck you because they don't respect you. How can they when you've let them walk all over you for years just for the chance to get some pussy whenever she wants to reward you for being a good boy LOL. All the while she's probably thinking of the guy she really wants to fuck. Who probably is already fucking. Some advice, the moment a woman's attitude changes in the slightest from how she was towards you in the past, it means something. It shouldn't take years of a miserable marriage to tell you that your wife isn't attracted to you any longer. And if she's spending extra time away from you unlike she's ever done. For work, or girls night out. It's because someone else got her attention. Stop missing the red flags. 90 percent of the women you meet aren't shit. But if your determined for that Disney fantasy then your going to have to date thousands of women and not tap out after meeting the first one whose cooperative.

Same story, wash, rinse, repeat. And, then, out of the blue one day just so happens that I find out one of the women in our apartment complex has a wild side. That was 2018. At that point I'd been getting the cold shoulder for about 3 years. Now, to date? Lets just say I have, at last count, 48 ticks in the "W" column. Ain't no looking back either. Some days its a breakfast, lunch, and late afternoon "snack" before I go back home and sit my ass in front of the TV Hell, now I keep a list of "trophies" I'm after. (Looking for an Asian UTR if anybody can share.).

And I sleep great at night.

PornHub might be the best alternative for the time being, LOL.

Twitter can supply great porn in two minute increments. Safer from viruses, too.

[Airmantroy]

My only explanation is that it's just an influx of people new to the game, and they have an inflated sense of fees, which is common.

Example: today, I happened to be researching the welding industry. I've long had this idea that welding is a great profession for people who didn't go to college, because it's portable work, it's in high demand, and pays well, and this is especially true for underwater welders. But in my research I came across the starting pay for underwater welders as $26/ hour, or $52,000 per year. Pretty far from what I assumed.

Let me put it this way: if I hung my single out right now, "O Services, Underwater Welding", I would have asked for $150-$200 per hour. That's how dumb I am (or was, before reading about it). When I heard that "underwater welding pays well", my brain turned that into $150-$200 per hour (because $300-$400 k per year seems like "a good income" to me).

So, I think this flood of noobs simply aren't pros yet, and just don't know their new industry. They have unrealistic expectations for compensation, and that's reflected in their pricing.

O.

I am in fact a certified welder, my last job being employed by someone other than myself was with a major foreign manufacturing company, I was the only certified welder in my assembly department. My starting pay was $28/ hr, when I left I was at $34/ hr plus full company paid benefits, 100% match on 401 K up to 15% of my annual salary and more approved overtime than I could work in 2 months time. A certified underwater welder with 2 years experience is going to be upwards of $100/ hr, so your rationale of $150/ hr isn't really that far fetched, that type of job is extremely skilled, NOT in very high demand and you may go months without work. With my certifications currently, I can pretty much walk in to a place that needs a precision welder and command $25-30/ hr, but those jobs are getting harder to find. Add to that the fact that I am over 50 and the realization that I can't do what I did 15 years ago (physically) and the market gets small. Now, these colleges are telling these kids today that they can make $100-150 K a year, the kids get all excited and go out applying for jobs and expect $40 hr, with zero real world experience and pretty basic skills, they get offered $17/ hr and they thumb their nose at it or take the job and start looking for another job immediately. So yeah, noobs have unrealistic expectations because some porn star out there said she made half a mil last year. And giving blowies doesn't require any talent (in their minds).

[PunkedLife]

I would like to say I agree with this 1000% I've just ended a 34 year marriage. I've put up with a lot of shit and hard times. I've bent over backwards to help her. Anything that I could do to help with her life I did. She got the new car I kept the older one. I could go on. I finally had enough when she told me she was interested in sex any longer. I'm like WTF. I packed up and moved out. Best decision I've made. I also started internet dating. Being a 54 yo the amount of divorced and widowed mature women who are search for some mutual sexual fun has been quite fruitful. So after a few dinners and drinks it's pretty much good to go.

O.

If prices are going up, that usually suggests scarcity of supply.

We might assume that younger providers have left the supply (due to the pandemic?) and that demand has actually gone up. The pandemic, among other things, has taken away a lot of free-time / entertainment / leisure time options for many mongers I. E. Can't go to the movies, concerts, sporting events, limited dining out, to bars, etc. It's possible that mongers actually have more disposable income to spend on providers, and they have more leisure time to pursue it. And since most providers likely had a long dry spell with zero income during 2020, they are more likely trying to see if they can make up a deficit.

The other thing is that while some men enjoyed a robust sex life during the pandemic, a lot of spouses were getting laid even less than before because their wives were scorched from having the kids home all day, etc. And a lot of guys have not been able to run game at bars or go to parties etc. Maybe there are more mongers coming out of the closet because they are sick of p0 rnhub and / or can't get any alone time with everyone in the house all the time.

Seems to me like the selection of providers is not blossoming at most places, and my feeling is that there are a lot of shops out there operating with two or maybe three providers. If it were easy to find good looking, younger providers then I think we would be seeing a lot more of that. But instead, you are much more likely to find at least one 40+ year old women at literally every shop in town.

[Frankie14]

What is up with the price of pussy atm? Is it overall inflation, stimulus checks? Seems even grandmas are asking for $400+/ hr right now. This has to be some sort of economic indicator that can be used for investing purposes. For now UTR, Strip Clubs, and KAMPs are in my future.

PornHub might be the best alternative for the time being, LOL.
