reddit General

If an article like this came out today everyone involved in writing and publishing it would be cancelled in a nanosecond, without a doubt.

They at least did get Yuen Woo-Ping as a choreographer so the fights also did look good IMO, albeit a bit awkward because none of the actors had a martial arts background.
It’s proof that trannies are basically a result of sexual fetishes. Buck Angel a fucking FtM calls them out.

Italian reddit finds out that bongs did not like the Italian communist party. Cue would-be justified complaints about foreign interference in our elections being inexorably bogged and polluted by r/Italy's obsession with sucking commie cock and seething because they've never governed our country. All the most downvoted comments are of course the ones remarking that communists weren't exactly keen on democracy either.
 
my favorite types of reddit threads is reading r/truecofessions and finding stories of angry parents who hate their retarded children bc surprise “they’re retarded”

not even because of the situation just because of the sheer amount of these kinds of stories exist on reddit


Cant wait for the "My Retarded son is a Reddit mod/Admin with a porn addiction and no future" post. There's like a million examples you could use.

That /u/Helmic troon feels safe enough in his echo chamber to openly advocate for crimes multiple times.

"I doubt a self hosted DDOS solution is going to hold up over time"
No explanation, just pure cope. Josh highlighted precisely why self hosting is arguably stronger than cloud flare, neutral parties won't help. The only people who will fuck with Josh's setup are either doing it for fun or those who have a vendetta against the site. The former won't necessarily publicize their findings, the later are too busy masturbating and posting on twitter to try.
 
This is so funny lmao what a retard
Holy Christ if you feel you must do that 12 Step type shit this is one you should let slide. What a sped.

Also frankly the store should have just taken his payback and maybe banned him permanently or some shit, seriously this kind of autist is not someone who deserves the full penalty of the law. Cut a retard some slack.

As for me, if you shoplifted, well. . .whatever.
It's not good but if it's the worst thing you've ever done you've lived an at least semi-okay life.

What?! That thread seems much MUCH too sane and reality based for that sub... right? (I've been away from reddit for a while now.) They are even allowing the truth and facts of this place to be posted.

This is a ride and probably mostly untrue but fat cuck let’s his wife who if his story is true is clearly having a mental breakdown harass some poor woman and still stays with her.

"Their friendship ended about 8-9 (they had been friends since early in high school) years ago and it was over a man they had both briefly dated. My wife dated "Matt" for a few months, she broke up with him because she thought that Matt had feelings for Laura. Laura said she didn't want to date Matt because he had dated my wife. My wife decided to "test" her friend Laura's loyalty, and told Laura she had her blessing to date Matt. Laura and Matt ended up dating for a few months, my wife stuck around while they were dating and once they broke up my wife told Laura that she had failed a loyalty test."

lol
lmao even

Eh, I feel bad for the guy.

I don't know if that's a product of being retarded so much as a product of having been sheltered. I'm pretty sure that by the time most people leave high school they learn that the boy scout shit doesn't buy you mercy. People might be swayed by morality, but systems aren't, and people have to do their job.

Hopefully they learned their lesson. Better late than never I guess.

Yeah Reddit folks, KF's totally dead.
Nobody here at all, it's a complete ghost town, so there's no reason to keep obsessing over it like faggots or anything like that. You can go ahead and be miserable fucks in some other direction now.

That whole thing sounds like it was written by a woman. Bla bla bla bla bla gab gab gab gab. Another cat lady testing her novella writing skills on reddit.
 
Redditors were surprising starting to care about sex trafficking in the sex work industry and some guy comes in there saying: it's actually rilly safe and legit guys and gets thousands of updoots. I'm skeptical of his claims. Not necessarily that these safeguards exist but in the efficacy.
I'm not going to say I know better than a native, but I was in Amsterdam recently for a class/research project all about sex work and human trafficking.
Tourism in the RLD is bad, but primarily because of people who are just there for the spectacle. Crowds coming in and taking photos or being dicks to the window workers end up pushing out clients because of the impossibility of maintaining anonymity, so these workers (entirely women inc. trans women) are losing potential income bc of tourism.
Tourists are also a huge part of the city's justification for shrinking the RLD by closing windows, and the latest mayor is working on trying to shut De Wallen down entirely and moving the RLD to Zuidoost, which is a primarily low-income immigrant suburb or A'dam. The residents don't want the RLD there bc of crime risk and the fact it's most families out there, and people in the city actually interested in services won't make the trip out there, so that'd suck both for Zuidoosters and SWs.
However, the RLD isn't as rife with victims as people think and there's a lot of misinformation out there. There's basically a triple authentication system in place to make sure trafficked persons aren't being forced to work there. You have to have citizenship/legal residency, register with the government, and then check in everyday for your shift with security who check your passport and registration. If you don't have your papers, you don't work. If anyone, including other window workers, suspect you are a trafficking victim, you are not allowed to do any legal sex work ever again, even if you can prove you aren't being trafficked or forced to work (they even go overboard with this sometimes). It incredibly difficult to work in the RLD as a trafficking victim, so most times traffickers will find some other avenue to exploit their victims.
There's also strict regulations on safety: condoms are required always and there's panic buttons for every worker, everyone in De Wallen (including shops and the church there) look out for each other, and the workers have a pretty good relationship with the police which has a special unit dedicated to handling issues with the window workers. All the workers have to pay rent for their spaces, so not anyone can just walk in. During the day it's so safe there that there's even a kindergarten on the main street.
The biggest perpetrators of violence and disorder are actually tourists. The workers and shops in the RLD prioritize safety and their jobs, so very rarely will someone be selling drugs or doing anything else illegal. And of course sometimes clients get aggressive, which is why they have panic buttons.
But by and large, tourists are the problem. Like I said, just by being there they are scaring away clientele and making the window workers lose money. A lot of the time they don't even go there to eat at the restaurants or buy anything from the sex or coffee shops (for non-Dutch: the coffee shops are just weed dispensaries which is a fun fact that I love even though I don't smoke). They litter and gawk and disrespect the workers. They'll go up to the windows and steal time by making the workers think they're potential clients. Sometimes people throw drinks at the windows or otherwise be outright dicks. The biggest problem is people taking pictures, since even though this is their job, there's still a desire for privacy and security, which tourists disrespect because they want photos to show their friends back home. People in the RLD have been trying for years to get tours banned, but as of yet the city gov't hasn't made any movement to help that. The people who come just for the spectacle are killing the RLD-- and rarely will you get the spectacle you expect because at the end of the day these women are just doing their jobs. It's not that exciting. Even from the perspective of just vacationing in Amsterdam, De Wallen is really not worth a visit, regardless of the fact that tourism there is bad for the workers.
So OP, it's weird you would want to do that with your mom in the first place, but wouldn't make you an a-hole. But, if you DID go to the RLD as a tourist after reading the absolute novel of a comment I just wrote, THEN y.w.b.t.a.
Regarding your situation specifically, NTA for the convo with your mom and you're free to go by yourself if you want to and she can go do something else, but just know that if you go you are actively hurting sex workers and should either pay for services (you can even pay just to talk in their room if you want, as long as you're upfront about it) or respect the fact that those women are people, and not zoo animals to feel bad for or be ashamed of.
ETA to add: the Prostitution Information Center (PIC) is a great resource both online and irl. It was founded by a sex worker, and everyone there is super knowledgeable and often happy to talk. One of our class sessions was a round table with a PIC employee and former sex worker, and he was just incredible and not willing to put up with any bullshit. I fully recommend everyone do some learning! :)

I can't help but imagine some greasy pimp actually writing this.
More from PuzzleheadedBet8041:
So there's actually multiple RLDs, three in Amsterdam and others across the Netherlands-- stumbled across one in Rotterdam by happenstance and it was a breath of fresh air seeing a RLD working the way its supposed to without all the tourists. sounds weird to say, now that i think about it, but i'm just glad those women can get work!

RLDs are very obvious, established places. and as far as i know, they operate under the same regulations, maybe bar some Amsterdam specific rules to accommodate the amount of people moving through there, and maybe some are a /liiiiitle bit/ more lax, but nobody wants to see anyone be trafficked and forced into sex work, nor do any window workers want to work with a victim. that would be dangerous not just for themselves as that would put them at personal risk, but also for business in the area- imagine the news drops that multiple women have been forced to work in your RLD, suddenly only the biggest asshole clients are willing to still solicit services.

and afaik brothel operation and regulation is still being worked out, but i never heard anything about an official legal brothel system. just like anywhere theres going to be someone breaking the law and operating a brothel illegally, or exploiting people, but that is definitely NOT an RLD
