    I'm trying to fuck my Latina maid. Every week or so she comes over and I try to build up the courage to offer her $40 for something "extra" and see where it leads.

    She just left not too long ago. Give me some tips for what to say to her next week. Or a reasonable amount of money to offer her. I don't want to offend her with a low amount.

    She's in her 30's. Nice body, OK face. Married.

    See you guys in the "Puncher for:" thread...

    This I really don't get..
    there's this new trend/movement in american fast food chains to boldly claim that they will use natural ingredients in their food so what did they used before?

    now, it's like a hospital saying, "hey you complained so now we will use real blood instead of .."

    but this comment from r/hailcorporate sums it up nicely,

    "...So in the states they put corn syrup in their drinks instead of sugar to lower production costs by taking advantage of corn subsidies, while charging the same price to increase profit, and they add unnatural levels of food colouring to make the drink more appealing...

    Then because nobody uses sugar, they can offer drinks with normal sugar as a luxury item at a price premium, and they can remove the colour they added for appeal, to give it MORE appeal?

    And those very corn subsidies mean that taxpayer's money goes to big agri making the agriculture companies rich, then big agri can use those riches to lobby lawmakers to keep those subsidies high?

    Man... the US is a strange place. ..."

    • What's not to get?set

    EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. you post something about vaccinations within seconds i have found reliable sources that offer evidence that contradict your claims.

    Regarding the HPV article, in the comments was this:

    1. There were 919 cervical cancer deaths in the UK in 2012.
    2. Every one of those deaths were 100% preventable.
    3. You are comparing the cancer rates PER YEAR to alleged HPV reactions (which would only happen ONCE, not every year.)
    4. If your reported 10% was real then the total number of people having serious adverse reactions out of 100,000 would be more than 30,000 i.e. In every single school of 300 girls that were vaccinated 100 of those girls would have had a "serious" reaction

    It seems that, unsurprisingly, the newspaper article is not balanced or well researched. Yet, you are willing to offer it as some kind of credible evidence of conspiracy without any effort to put your claims in context or search out authoritative alternative sources. Its just comes across as myopic, lazy and paranoid. Raise your game.

    • so truemonospaced

    Should we trust these people without question?

    Meryl Nass is not an expert in childhood vaccines:
    Meryl Nass is a doctor of internal medicine and an expert on bioterrorism, biodefense, anthrax and anthrax vaccine injuries. She has testified before Congress on the subjects of Gulf War illness, anthrax vaccines and bioterrorism. Her blog and anthrax-information websites can be found at AnthraxVaccine.org.

    Sherri Tenpenny is a fraud:
    is an American physician and anti-vaccination activist from Ohio. She has claimed that vaccines cause autism, asthma, ADHD and autoimmune disorders.[1] The author of four books on anti-vaccination, her 2015 lecture tour of Australia was cancelled due to public outcry over her views on vaccination which go against established scientific consensus.

    Suzanne Humphries is not an expert:
    is a nephrologist (kidney doctor. She has written several blog posts and done several podcasts and interviews insinuating that kidney failure is caused by vaccines.[1][2] Humphries uses this purely anecdotal, unstudied, "feeling" of vaccines' role in kidney disease to try and justify why her complete lack of training in any relevant field of immunology or vaccines doesn't disqualify her as an "expert" on the topic.

    • I wonder about that, same time I think they get traction from people who get damaged from vaccines. the movement in question by itself is not without concernyurimon
    • only people i seen start to question is those who suffer after vaccination.yurimon

    • i know 1 adult died from flu vaccineyurimon
    • children do develop allergies, but you are seeing it as causation when it is ONLY coincidencemonospaced
    • everytime after a vaccine? some get asthma... maybe the quality isnt there like used to be.yurimon
    • it's not every time you fucknutmonospaced
    • ok get tb shot, 1 -2 weeks get allergies or asthma, not everyone but an increasing popullationyurimon
    • I don't know where you are getting your info but that's just a flat out lie. There's no indication whatsoever of an increase and you know it.monospaced
    • Also if you're so fucking convinced then why do you not know if its allergies or asthma? And is this specific to TB vax or are you just guessing? Dude.monospaced
    • No vaccinations here and no allergies :-)formed
    • Vaccinations here and no allergies either. Also a significantly higher chance of not dying from polio, so at least theres that. ;)monospaced
    • Of course it's OK to not have vaccinations, because you are going to be protected by the vast majority of idiots that do. #sarcasmORAZAL
    • Sad but true. Also you put everyone else at risk by not being vaccinated.monospaced

    Punches For:

    People who take international vacations and feel the need to post on Facebook about everything they're doing as they're doing it. There's an acceptable level of doing this - maybe once in a trip, but I find people to be completely vapid when their vacation is dictated by sharing what they're doing in real time.

    People need to live in the moment more. They need to put away their dependance on social media for just long enough to experience something for themselves rather than for the need to tell everyone about it. It drives me crazy.
