    Why “dr*g”? That’s a wierd bit of censorship - making a joke about drugs and sex workers and feeling the need to censor the word drug? I don’t get it?

        Demonetization s*cks. I was just about to get a rescue yacht for my staff’s yacht and then boom my most profitable lemmy comments got demonetized.

      Probably a screenshot off TikTok, where you saying “die” might upset Vinie the Pooh, so they censor the living fu*k of it.

    Why do you expect to be reward for being a good person? That’s just the baseline everyone should meet.

    You will never get financially ahead of everyone else by being a good worker bee. Sorry your parents and teachers lied to you. Doing well in school and getting a degree is not a pathway to riches. The vast majority of people who went from rags to riches went off the beaten path and took a massive risk.

    Also sex work doesn’t make someone a bad person.

      Totally agree, although I would say “… the vast majority of people who went from rags to riches were self-obsessed assholes at at least one part of their life”.

      Exactly. You get what you give. You give the bare minimum to society, and society will give it right back. You want more, give more. Go help your community. Take out your elderly neighbor’s recycling. Volunteer at your local shelters/soup kitchens. Attend some local events. Sit in on city council meetings. When I moved out of my small town a couple years ago, I learned that real life is a lot like online forums. You have to lurk before you can post. Learn the language, the local etiquette and taboos. Watch the people in your neighborhood, their interactions. Blend into the background, and observe. Talk little, hear and see much.

        None of this shit makes you money.

    It’s funny because they compared themself to a picture of one of the worst people imagined to argue they’re a good person

        I don’t have anything against OF or sex work, but I’ve always though that negative judgements against clients suggest a negative judgement against the service provider. If the act of providing the service is OK then surely the act of receiving the service is also morally sound? Unless the service provider has a morally ambivalent attitude to their own work? I say this as someone who had a long term partner doing sex work. Contempt for clients seems unfair and possibly hypocritical. Just people trying to satisfy a biological and emotional need.

    Who cares if they are Drug dealer or on Only Fans. Do they put the cart back at the store?

      I think it should have said “do the right thing” as in normal job, taxes, etc. doesn’t make you a “good person” technically

    So you’re a good person but people doing OF aren’t?? Just start an OF and get over yourself.
