Everything ends Francis, even this crap will…

Unless we somehow manage to wipe the whole species, we’ll be fine.

Start having kids, I want to see you go bald

I had to look up the two porn actresses in question, but I couldn't tell them apart.

Oh how I laughed 😂 You have a lovely turn of phrase - “getting their minge out for the subs”. This sex marathon thing isn’t new. I can remember at least 10years ago when someone made a graphic documentary about a girl who was trying for a Guinness World record, although I don’t think that august book actually records such ‘marathons’. I agree about the men. It’s what stays in the memory,unfortunately!!! The sad pathetic queue, all naked and trying desperately to be ‘ready’ for their turn 👀👀👀

That was so funny, even though the subject was serious. I don’t know what the answer is. Maybe we just know too much about what is happening in the grubbier areas of humanity.

There was a time when I was up to date with famous and internet famous people. Call me smug or whatever but there is a kind of pleasure when I say that "I don't know who are you talking about."

But obviously I couldn't evade the two ladies quest for greatness. The Bonnie Blue one was especially atrocious.

If we can believe them (and why wouldn't we believe someone on the internet) it was only 41 seconds per person...

I guess a lot of things can happen in 41 seconds. (After this my youtuber tried to count the mileage of the missus...it was around 3.5 miles...)

Never did consume Onlyfans actively though and lately I'm making peace with all this phenomenom...How I learned to stop worrying and love the whore.

It doesn't effect me in most ways and in the ways it does...I can't do anything about it. Everybody is free to waste their life away how they want but maybe there is enough place for a single question.

Do they feel good doing it? Do they still have those dopamine hits like when I hit the triple 20 in darts(I suck at darts but love doing it)? Or when someone smiles at me at the subway and my whole day is instantly better?

Today I learned a new word, "minge."

Thanks Francis!

Nevermind about any of that.. today I found out what tPac means in the UK.. it’s when the cops are on a chase of a stolen vehicle or other fugitives and they come from the nearside offside block them at the top with the following units on the other end.. and! Who knows if that’s not where that rapper based his name on Tupac to start with and if that was what happened if that term is global or also how they do it in America and it’s not exactly British so it’s where that started and where it goes and if the band was based on it.. Onlyfans, I’ll leave that to ya or maybe not

Of course it’s global it’s physics, question is whether it’s called tPac everywhere or not that’s the question initially

I have no idea who those ladies are. And guess what, I am not going to search who they are.

Don't worry FF, it's a self-limiting problem from a supply and demand perspective:

On the supply side, if enough women are OnlyFans 'performers', they won't make enough money to keep going, since there's an oversupply.

On the demand side, there's only 24 hours in a day, so the 'consumers' will degenerate into red-eyed INCELs living on the dole.

They won't be able to keep it up for ever (literally and metaphorically), so in their realisation that their existence is meaningless, in their desperation and self-loathing from hammering away in their Mum's basement they will eventually find...Jordan Peterson 🌤🙏

...🤔 or, given their 'lived experience' 'til that point - that 'women are objects that only exist to serve men' - Andrew Tate...or Islam.

OK, you were right FF, we really are screwed!

Does anyone else wonder if these girls have mothers , fathers , or even one friend ? I cannot imagine the seal team six type rescue team that would break my door down , not leave me unsupervised, and take me to a daily therapy appointment if I decide to put my vag online. Seriously, help me understand his this happens .

Is "get their minge out for the subs" the new "Get your tits out for the lads"?

I sort of see where we are in the West as a multidimensional cultural crossroads where old traditions are running headlong into new technology. Progress is not usually a smooth road. People have been grappling with morality for a long long time. I wouldn't say morality is collapsing although maybe that is wishful thinking. But I think what is going is that people's definitions of what is moral and why is changing and not always for the better.

I meant to add, for those of us that are just plain fed up with all this could start a new 'nation'? Ha ha..

I fear this all runs far deeper than it looks and things are going to get worse. What l also despair at are some of the comments some men make about all this like it's utopia. Keep commenting and writing. Stay true, it's a burst of fresh air.

Perhaps most confronting of all, it is a mirror to what truly lies beneath, what's lying behind the face we use to put to the world.
