The "Future": Perceived vs. Reality
-
I actually got propositioned three times at SpiceWorld London two weeks ago. Never had prostitutes actually come up to me before. I've seen them, I've had them kind of call but never come up and actively attempt a lewd conversation.

Hardy har har, the bottles broke when she pushed it over. I can tolerate spending my money on drugs for an attractive young woman's company, after all I am a pathetic millionaire, but don't dare waste my sugary drinks. I didn't get fat sitting around drinking water!
There's really no sarcasm or irony here.

Lots of prostitution in Roanoke, va. I stay away from those areas.

Not surprising. There are actually a lot everywhere. I used to work at a hotel where a lot of them lived and, in fact, the hotel shift manager was a lot lizard when things weren't busy.

I notice that you updated that quickly.

Now you know why it is called the "Lost Colony".

Oh my friend you have never lived in southern Moscow, it was daily. After I moved to city centre it stopped happening, except in bars, the fancy kind would sit next to me and talk to me.

I've probably had that and did not realize it.

I used to hang out late night at a restaurant in Rochester, NY where they would go after their shift, or between shifts or however that works. But it was their place to relax and they were not trying to pick people up, just trying to get dinner.

My old roommate, Josh, once gave one a "ride to work". He was hanging out at the hotel with me and she came to the desk wondering how to get "to work." He offered her a ride and she literally had him drop her on the corner. It was hilariously cliche.

I know what girls are out of my league (most of them) so I always err on the side of caution. I'm really polite in person, especially for a fat Eastern/Southern European jackass, so it makes people often think I'm weak willed or stupid. The irony is that in the US that same sort of attitude makes people like you instead.

I used to live in a not so nice area of Rochester, near some of the off campus/campus housing for UoR. The bar across the street had a few ladies of the evening outside on a regular occasion.

A nice feature for nodeBB would be to be able to split threads.

No kidding. Lots of communities need that one. That is a lot harder to do that it seems, but easier than merging them. Another thing to make note of for the developers.

Also known colloquially as UofR students.

Didn't want people to get the wrong idea about how I know that.

Maybe you spend the weekends like I spent my weekends in my 20s, when I was thin and reckless.

Nope. Not at all. The only reason I'm down there is for filming or running sound for concerts. We filmed a movie about a police officer injured in Roanoke and we walked around for a lot of it, and filmed some night scenes that's how I know there are a ton there.
