I'll be clear that it's probably a healthier view of sex to just treat it as no different to a pint down the pub. If someone's willing to sell it and you want it, it's probably healthy to just f**k a prostitute for the going rate provided you know that's all it is.
But my little experience of the men who pay for sex is that their attitude is not a healthy one treating it as simple commodity. It seems to be much more about power and abuse and doing something that's forbidden and all kinds of other stuff that's linked to historical proscription of sex by society. Men who actually pay for sex are usually a bit weird and don't have a healthy attitude to it at all.

I don't know any men who use hoors. Not knowingly anyway.

I mean I don't know the men, not that I know men who go to prostitutes without realising it.

Cynthia Diane Payne (née Paine;[1] 24 December 1932 – 15 November 2015) was an English brothel keeper[2] and party hostess who made headlines in the 1970s and 1980s, when she was convicted of running a brothel at 32 Ambleside Avenue, in Streatham, a suburb in south London.[3][4]

Crude, but is it true?
there are a great many ways to "desunk" him!

Amazon is calling all its employees back into the office. "Amazon is ordering staff back to the office five days a week as it ends its hybrid work policy. The change will come into force from January, Amazon's chief executive Andy Jassy said in a memo to staff, external. "We’ve decided that we’re going to return to being in the office the way we were before the onset of Covid", he said, adding that it would help staff be "better set up to invent, collaborate, and be connected enough to each other". Mr Jassy has long been known as a sceptic of remote work, but Amazon staff were previously allowed to work from home two days a week." www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czj99ln72k9oThis is interesting because, as private enterprises, it's hard to see why these progressive, highly connected organisations would decide to do this unless there were real objective advantages. In contrast: "Amazon's stance contrasts with the UK government's approach which has promised to make flexible working a default right from day one as part of a new employment rights bill due to be published next month. Jonathan Reynolds told the Times newspaper , externalthat the government wants to end the "culture of presenteeism", and said there were "real economic benefits" to people working from home. He said there was a balance to be struck, but flexible working arrangements could help businesses recruit from a wider pool of people." |

There may be objective advantages, but I think you're giving too much credit to businesses acting rationally rather than acting in thrall to either the whims of a CEO or to their old culture. Lots of bosses think that they got where they are by being brilliant but also that if everyone else did what they did those people would succeed, so if Mr Boss was in the office from 6am to 10pm every day through his twenties he might believe that this was what gave him the motivation and skills and engagement with the rest of his team to make him the Great Man he is today. And lots of bosses also spent hundreds of millions on really fancy real estate back in the late 2010s and have a hugely expensive asset sitting empty or half used and it makes them look like fools to have burnt through so much cash on something they don't use, so they create justifications about full-time presenteeism being better even if there's no data to back it up. I don't trust CEOs giving anecdotal explanations for this kind of stuff. They may be right, but if they are it's likely to be accidental because it's a binary choice and sometimes even CEOs can get those right. |

It’s not about advantages but lack of trust for employees. Reminds me of an old boss who headed up my department. We were split between Houston and London and he slowly wanted to wind up the London team and push to have us transferred to Houston. He HATED having teams members he could not spy on in person each day. |

Yeah, there may be a bit of all that, but it's not just Amazon, nor is it just tech companies run by autocratic dweebs.

More stupid cop insanity in the US, cops chasing bloke who didn't pay the $2 subway fair shoots bystander in the head and another cop. Why do you'd need guns in such a situation, even if the bloke did have a knife as reported (saw elsewhere they never found a knife and are now saying someone else must have taken it) www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93y74xl1wvo |

Officials said that the suspect had a record of 20 previous arrests and a significant history of mental illness.……
Just the 20 previous arrests…. & a built in mental excuse🤔😎

And that medical experts somehow are less qualified than you to diagnose it. Does it hurt being as stupid as you? |

He had UJ in mind I'm sure when he said this.
“Remember, when you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It is only painful for others.
The same applies when you are stupid.”
