Muddy, I have heard of guys paying for DFK dances.
But really you can't get girls to kiss by getting them to agree to it. What they do will not be good.
So to kiss them there is charm and generosity, but then you just have to kiss them.
So don't listen to a girl who promises to kiss in the back room. If she really wants to kiss you she will be doing it, and right there, not talking about it.

What Csikszentmihalyi etal say about the influence of families is complex. I just want to explain my own take on it. It is a big benefit when you have parents who are lifelong learners and who maintain and stay current in talents of their own.
But often you will have families that have collapsed. The parents have not dealt with historical abuses, they are not living up to their own values, they are trying to hide behind children. Doing this was the only reason they had children. Often they are trying to repress the child.
A premise of the Gifted and Talented Movement is that parents are always advocating for the child, to make sure that they are getting access to sufficiently challenging course work.
And then in the Austism/Aspergers/Neurodivergence families you have parents who have decided that since the child seems different they are an embarrassment and they need to be broken by "therapy".

Notice that they don's specifically talk about breaking the prostitution law. Instead they have this other thing about needing a permit for a "Sexually Oriented Business". Well that kind of a permit authorizes them to do nothing they could not otherwise do. It is a scam. All it does is make them subject to rules and regulations which apply no where else.
They make this permit requirement as a way of getting around SCOTUS decisions which recognize Free Speech, and stop there from being a blanket outlawing of strip clubs.
If we left it to the pillars of the community, there would never be anything like a strip club.
These special permits are a way of destroying strip clubs, making rules which apply no where else.
Thanks nicespice,

People got to keep next to nothing. BUt the bailout payments went to individuals. ITs just that it ended up with landlords and mortgage lenders.

The main handouts were in the COVID bailout payments. On the surface they were monies for people who lost their paychecks. But the effects of this was simply to prop up rentiers and mortgage lenders. So most people were still getting further behind.
As the economy was shut down, the things where this need to be felt, was in the securities and real estate bubbles.
What we needed to do then was to start building a strong public housing offering and go to UBI payments, and then let the real estate and securities bubbles deflate. There would also be higher taxes on high incomes as most of the money would end up there. Need to get it back.
We've crashed our currency instead of letting the ponzi schemes collapse.

No one is ever allowed to be a terrorist. It is just that when presented with sustained denigration because of one's race, it is an imperative.
There are many changes this nation needs to make, things about it which are completely unworkable. We need to make those changes by the ballot box. But if this does not happen, then they will happen by other means.

Gun control has no effect on terrorists. Once terrorism starts, all guns will be illegal.
Reasonable gun controls means that we can get to a point where we have a working economy and serious racism is curbed.
Reasonable gun controls in my layman's view might mean a background check and a waiting period, as well as restrictions on semi-automatic rifles.

Talking about the America Competes Act. Chips used in everything, but these are not made in the US anymore. Most all coming from Taiwan, and some from China.
Want to change this.

^ I like the above big girl pics, though I admit they are a kind of challenge to think about.
But the real point is that with these new body positivity photos, it doesn't matter of you or I like it.

If you relate to them as you would to other women, they might not necessarily be going away. Paying women to go away is standard, but I think it foolish.

If people are being targeted with the Autism Hoax they need to act forcefully. I would not say though that that is quite as serious of a situation as when someone is being subjected to systemic denigration because of their race. Racism is at the core of America, and it is not gone yet, far from it.
Being subjected to the Autism Hoax is something that it really should be possible to address in a law court. I know of one case where Arizona did exactly this and took six children out of a severe Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy situation.

People being subjected to denigration because of their race do need to act with highly skilled and focused lethal violence. They are being negligent if they fail to do this.

The COVID response was all just green ink on paper. And that was really stupid because all it did was prop up the real estate bubble.
With no underlying activity, it was the real estate and securities bubbles which needed to crash.
Today that money needs to be collected back, and the upper income tax hikes in Biden's Build Back Better would be a first step at doing this.

There are people who have looked at how to make sensible gun regulations.
But then there is another issue here. When people find themselves continually subjected to verbal denigration, then they must respond by making corpses. They must organize and engage in focused, targeted and expertly administered leth*l t*rr*r*sm. When they do that they will be benefiting the entire society. And still today, blacks are routinely being subjected verbal denigration because of their race, yet nothing happens.

Eating good is fine. And I like to make my own bread. But people should not have to live with body image shame either. And women are especially plagued by this. So I think this body positivity is good.

Csikszentmihalyi etal do talk about their being a problem when parents discourage abstract thought. I mean then, they are also discouraging critical thinking.
And I talked about this before pertaining to ability grouping, for say mathematics. Often you would be teaching math which goes beyond anything the adults use or relate to. So if their is nothing in the child's social environment which legitimates this it is going to be hard. And it is tough if the only rationalization for it is getting into and graduating from college.
And I think you can see just from this, how the idea of Talent or Giftedness relates to the Autism Hoax. If the parents want to suppress the child, suppress their intellect and development of linguistic and cognitive abilities, that will get you to this Autism/Aspergers/Neurodivergence Hoax.
