This was already legally happening in Texas. Cali did this in response to Texas being allowed to heavily gerrymander their state in Republican favor.
Editing to add: And it’s a time-constrained deal. This new map will only exist until 2030 when the maps would be redrawn anyhow. Cali put this up to a vote. Texas just…did it without a vote. Its near impossible for on-the-ground voters to get anything on a ballot in Texas due to the way the state Constitution is written.
We never used it but I did look into it when we lived in Nevada for a friend who had been celibate for over a decade at that point. Nice dude, but extremely quiet and just has zero confidence/game.
I loved that the ladies were independent contractors who set their OWN rates, and they advertised what THEY were comfortable doing/ their explicit “no-go” list. There was also a strict consent banner on the site I used that said any of the ladies could kick anyone out at any time and there were panic buttons in the rooms.
Never actually did end up contacting them because we ended up being too poor at the time. Wasn’t mad though, those ladies were setting prices that they deemed fair for their bodies and I have mad respect for that. Whether people agree with prostitution as a concept or not, its not going away and its referred to as the “world’s oldest occupation” for a reason. The best thing to do is protect the people who are choosing to engage in it/ensure they’re getting paid extremely well for their time.
Bruh I agonized over this on jury duty. It wasn’t even a violent crime but dude was still facing jail time. I cannot IMAGINE how stressful a Judge’s job must be on the day-to-day.
Ughhhh my husband and I used to LOVE this show when it was airing.
Went off the rails a bit towards the end though.
As someone who flies frequently due to a mixture of work and living far from family: bless you. You’re a BAMF and I always remember the flight attendants who make the trip dope!
Flying sucks for everyone but attendants make it suck so much less!
Now some of the passengers on the other hand…
Stop, really? That’s my home instance but I haven’t seen that on my feed! I hate that if its true and I’ll never stop bitching about ICE!
Chinga La Migra!
I used to do this when we had more than one dog. I also like to say “Don’t play too much Nintendo, clean your rooms, and I left a twenty on the counter for pizza when you get hungry” because I like to pretend its still 1996.
I’ll keep the orange tip in mind for when my last old girl eventually crosses the rainbow bridge, because I definitely want cats next after having doggos for the past 15 years.
I canceled my Hilton Honors account.
Fuck they were SO GOOD for pet friendly travel.
But wherever there was a Hilton Garden Inn there’s USUALLY a Hyatt Place too, and they are also pretty reliably pet friendly. Not owned by the same people either, I checked.
Until I discover what they’ve done wrong as I’m sure its something.

Maybe I’m more optimistic than I should be, but I kind of think its less of a “this affected me and now its a problem” and more of a “this affected me, it sucked, and now I dont want it to happen to anyone else”.
Like, of course she should have woken up sooner, but she could have suffered, been quiet about it, and just let it happen to other people as well. Maybe Im not as cynical as I thought I was.

No disagreement there. Ugh, I really wish us fans were more willing to send messages to the celebrities we like in general.
Unfollowing/deleting/refusing to buy new content is really the only power we have on our level.
I wasn’t “Barb” status but I liked her music enough to go to her concert.
All my downloads are deleted now though after this headline. I was already side eyeing her after she liked a tweet he made or whatever earlier this year.
No more watching her music vids or buying any future albums either. Had to do the same thing with Nova Rockafeller a couple years ago. God damnit.
Also a tuna salad sandwich, but mine was a 6 inch from Subway on meat.
Everything on it except for lettuce and olives, extra jalapenos, salt, pepper, & oregano, and then smooshed some Nacho Cheese doritos into it.
10/10, would have again.
Am I your wife? Is this my husband’s Lemmy account? He has all the same complaints!

Hey guy, YOU don’t get to make explicit videos/pictures of whatever weird shit you want if it involves another person.
This involved a real little girl who now knows for a fact that there’s a little boy who sees her boundaries as non-existent and just uses her body however the fuck he wants with no regard to her feelings.
Get all the way fucked. I wish she beat his ass for this.
Idk, after Tuesday, I started to get a little hopeful for the 2026 midterms. If we can keep up the same energy, we can massively slow down this fucking crazy train long enough to course correct or at the very least kick the can down the road (and hopefully use that time to install better minority protections/progressive policies)
But if we fuck up the 2026 mid terms? Oh yeah. Democracy in America is fucking DONE.
The amount of idiocy demonstrated by the adults in that article is fucking mind-boggling.
One family moved to Russia with only $50K to their name, for their family of 5, and didn’t research the public education requirements for their sons ahead of time.
It tracks that people this fucking stupid would have this level of hate for “non-traditional” relationships.
As someone who only recently got the opportunity to flee Texas to Cali: Fuck yes.
People who have never lived in a place like TX, FL, MS, MO, AL, etcetcetc have no idea what its like, and the purists who were against this move have zero idea whats at stake. The fact that this is time capped speaks volumes, and was intentional. Again, I urge people to look at how Texas did it. There is no limit, and the people didn’t vote on it. You don’t want that kind of government.
