Quit

Much of what you said I agree with, but let me say that an independent license with less restrictions will be way more favorable and harder to secure than a location license. An independent license should not remove regulations, but remove security. Being licensed through a house should guarantee the availability of condoms and such, security personnel, testing, and so on. An independent license should require std testing regularly, but also means a John/Jane has to sign a waiver that they understand this is an independent.

I also would like to state that a house should never be run like strip clubs are where the strippers are independent contractors who have to pay the club. Workers should be employees just like ia regular job. Just a license.

Another point should be that a worker needs to be responsible for their own license renewal. The license for renewal (on time) should be free if you are in a house, and tied to the company that owns the house. If a worker gets a better offer at another company, a new license is required, but not if it’s a transfer of locations within a company.

And in the point of the company, there should be limitations on how many houses they can own, and how many workers in each house. Maybe that can be at a local level, like I can’t have a house called Billy’s House of Poon right across the street from another place I own called Madam Sapphire Day Spa. Zoning laws. I live in an area that saw an explosion of dispensaries after weed went legal, and now most of them are all owned by corporations that have no problem opening new shops in the same market. Avoid that.

I could go on, build out a framework for all the legal stuff, but I’ll keep it simple.

Regulated with provisions for safety. I’m all for the idea it should be in a specific license location, like love hotels or massage parlors or something like that. No going to someones house or a different hotel.

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

The state is still run by one of his opponents from the election. My theory will be that ICE and other federal officers will back off once Walz is out of office.

I volunteer for a museum, and sometimes it is like a camp for adults. It’s a flight museum and we maintain antique aircraft in a flyable state. Sometimes I get to fly, and I’m always finding opportunities to tell people about how awesome these planes are, and the history behind them. And what I have heard from others, different museums are just the same, like being in camp.

Ask her what “value” is.

I started using Linux in a time when package management was barely usable, and I had a broken distro as a first distro. Too often I was chasing down answers all over the internet when there were few to share, and the diy aspect of arch is rather nostalgic for me.

I have arch on a few different systems. A couple of them, I used the script as I wanted to get them up and running quickly. It was very good for that, and I still had options in the script to make many of the choices and set things up manually instead of letting the script decide.

Needs me a recipe

I only wear socks when I have to, and then they have to match exactly. Otherwise, barefoot and flip flops as much as possible.

High sugar makes me tired, and if I don’t drink plenty of water, I wake up with a headache similar to a hangover.

My cat rolls off the back of the couch quite often when he sleeps. Usually he rolls onto the seat cushions, but it’s hilarious when he goes backward and falls into the stuff we have behind the couch. For reference, we use the couch to help separate the living room and the kitchen, and we keep our cans of soda against the couch. Poor cat falls into them, we laugh, and the he walks around all embarrassed and pissed. Never hurt, though.

I know you said you can’t leave because of family and stuff, but you do need to be somewhere that will get you away from the abuse you are getting. Get an apartment in your town, that’s a good start. And travel to the closest city to you. Central Ohio? I was in Columbus recently and was really digging it out there. Take a day trip or two every so often. Get out of that atmosphere.

I will agree there. But the mining and manufacturing potential is rather insane. We could make money back rather quickly.

I think a moon colony was possible at minimum the mid 90’s. I only think bureaucracy got in the way along with a very stunted space shuttle.

At the time, there were more stories about people abusing Ritalin than success stories. They were trying to protect me from people who would try to get my meds from me, but they realized that I never went out and about as a kid and the school office kept prescribed medicine in a locked cabinet for the students. I’m sure if they knew what it would do to me though, they would have been more apprehensive.

I was diagnosed early, around age seven. At the time, the only real coping mechanism was Ritalin and very distressed parents and teachers. It took a couple of years for my parents to relent and give me the drugs, but no real coping either. Not that I blame them, in the late 80s there wasn’t much outside of the drugs. It worked for me in school, but at a cost. No emotional output, no real friends, I was a zombie.

While I’m going on about my problems, what I want to say is that there are now better medications AND coping methods. Productivity managers, therapy, everything I wish I had as a kid. Get the kid into all of it as soon as a problem is forming and don’t be afraid to help indulge an interest.

Will Ferrell is garbage unless he is doing voice work. The only live action of his I liked is the little bit in the LEGO movie where he was the dad.

Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic. Dude had to play a super nerdy doctor, basically a wet noodle. Let’s cast a guy with a nine inch neck and could actually water his way through most of the bad guy minions.
