We only have a very limited scope as to which to judge this since prostitution is legal in only in some counties in Nevada, and the licensing of such is not standardized from county to county. Assuming its in one of these few places, the standards would be set by the county licensing agency. Otherwise, there doesn't need to be standards because, like someone already mentioned, illegal prostitiution is individual contracts negotiated at the time of engagement and hazard is factored in as part of supply costs.

Okay, serious Scoob. I don't see why standards need to be set by the industry, when there is an objective reference for hazard pay. It's not like you're being paid hazard just because its hazardous: there are requirements that any one person might need in a given situation that they might need to maintain the minimum hazard exposure required for the job, and hazard pay ostensibly goes to compensating the worker for meeting those demands. The specific implementation of those measures might be specific to that job, but the components applied to that implementation would still be universal.

Indeed you did.

His girlfriends should get hazard pay... without the pandemic.

Is the solution of the mathematical expression in that meme as written real?

C'mon, man. We don't get decent thought exercises that much around here.

Is it?

I have no idea how that would work. This is only ancillary to discussion, but it's worth knowing how sex workers in legal brothels have been dealing with this. The thing about sex work is that it isn't just sex - it's companionship and that is something that is essential in its own right. It highlights the fact that what is deemed essential and what is not deemed essential is not based on what people actually need as much as what is needed to support the infrastructure. Otherwise, my line of work wouldn't be essential in California (as it is not in other places). Solely on the metric that sex workers can claim to be essential and that their line of work entails a level of close contact that would mandate protections that exceed what any worker besides one in the medical profession might entail, then they would certainly need hazard pay .

And by mourning, you meant a half-hearted shrug? Seriously, though, I stopped seeing him and promptly stopped thinking about him until that thread the other day and I had to think if I had heard anything about him in the meantime.

But seriously, though.... Best Tom:

I know.

@Doom Metal Alchemist What the fuck you all doing up there? ( I'm kidding man: I wouldn't ask you to explain what goes on in Bakersfield.)

The juxtaposition of Trump's facial expression against... Fuggs' facial expression.

Just another reason why yogurt should be avoided at all costs.

It's from an interview on KROQ from way back when the song first came out. Something about him walking into a roommate's room after the roommate had sex and him describing the smell as "sex and candy". It always seemed to be such a lazy description.

Honestly, what ruined it for me was (I think) John's explanation of where that song came from.

Hey Poof.... I brought my trumpet... can I play?

Happy Birthday, dude!

It's how you know they enjoy banning you.

Sawdy didn’t get a picto-warning, though.

Obviously you don't, Goody Goody Two Shoes

I want kittens and puppies.

It's a joke, bro.
