Some things are free, but nothing is free of consequences.

I remember when people said that 2019 sucked and they were glad 2020 was here.

Turns out, comparatively speaking, those were the good old days.

I had a thought (amazing ain't it) what would you do with $1,200.00? If it just fell from the sky. Like so many of my otherwise intelligent, thoughtful neighbors think is going to happen.

I would spend it on The Lady Keryx, Aunt Mary. And Meat, Charcoal, Wood, and Spices. Because Barbeque.

I wonder if there's a bailout for the porn industry; or, if it was deemed essential?

PornHub is giving away their service for free, so clearly they're maintaining their balance sheets just fine.

The more hardcore a porn is, the more likely the activity shown is to cause direct human-to-human transmission.
