Daily Thoughts

I'm being promoted! I had two interviews yesterday that went so well...that today I got a call from my employer's HR department, informing me that both locations want me for this particular role! I know they were interviewing other candidates, and I didn't think they'd make their decision this quickly. I will decide within the next few days which location I'd like to transfer to.

Oh, how I love getting disconnected on MyFreeCams. It didn't happen the other night on MFC, and now it's happening again. Right after a member (who I hadn't seen in a while) stopped by to visit me. So fucking ridiculous. I'm beyond fed up with this B.S., and will just be on SextPanther instead.

So I really get introspective a lot. Like who are you if you aren't examining aspects of yourself, your life and your surroundings? I initially RAILED against the age verification check for a person to log on (sending your license for verification to create a user account on adult sites) and now I realize there are a lot less lurkers and people who will just be like I don't give a fuck and don't want to do this so those were probably not going to buy tokens anyway. Might be a blessing in disguise.

That's a good point to think about actually. Making people verify kinda, in a sense, strains out some of the riff raff.

The only downside is if we suffer from page rank not having enough non-tipping/non-verified traffic sitting in our room.

Anons don't count on CB for page rank and not tipping definitely lowers page rank, so for CB itself, it should actually help models page ranks.

ah I see. On MFC you can sort by most popular rooms which it doesn't matter if they're guests or tipping or whatnot so that got in my head.

I applaud everyone who can multistream these sites and keep all of it straight, lord knows I'd get twisted pretzel style and screw up somehow resulting in a ban

Decided to bring my food talk to Daily Thoughts since it’s a little bit off topic from the current food talks.

But oooommgg, I’ve had some of the best food ever in the last few days. I’m not an adventurous eater. Like, at all. However, my boyfriend is and he came into town and wanted to try all sorts of different restaurants. He’s been pushing me to try new foods for years, and I’ve been getting bolder and bolder and I’m so glad I am.

I’ve never been a huge steak eater. Well, we went to this award winning steakhouse (we’ve been there once before, but I didn’t eat anything the last time). I had some steak and OMG. It was delicious. Like, melt in your mouth delicious. Wish we would have taken a video, because he was like “you look so happy eating that steak” hahaha. We found this really cool diner too. It’s like a Denny’s or Waffle House, but a million times better. We went to this Vietnamese fusion type restaurant and they had this egg dish, it was like creamy, buttery, onion-y eggs with rice and it was fantastic. Crazy that a year or so ago I wouldn’t have even touched any of that. Best part, none of it gave me tummy issues at all. In fact, eating all this nice food has me feeling more energized and better.

Moral of the story, sometimes it’s a really good thing to go outside your comfort zone.

The wrong Cosby died. Riptides are no joke. Sad day.

I switched away from the Youtube account I use to actually watch stuff, the feed of which I aggressively curate, to an account I don't use much. It is shocking how terrible the content is that's offered if you aren't actively guiding Youtube's recommendations. It's all just horrible shit meant to make people angry and anxious. No wonder we all seem to feel awful. It's just so gross how open access to content has been incrementally weaponized against us with the invisible hand of algorithmic hate engagement.

RIP Ozzy

You are a legend!

Now Ozzy Osbourne too. Gone at 76.

Rest in Peace Ozzy. I can’t begin to describe how much his work influenced my life. From my mom’s Black Sabbath records, to my urge to kick every authority in the balls.

2 people my Dad really liked in the same week (Ozzy and Hogan). We used to play Black Sabbath on vinyl in the living room. We used to watch Hulk's matches together, I idolized him a little bit due to that.

Ozzy was amazing. RIP
Hulk turned out to be a fucking MAGA idiot. meh.

The irony of him ripping the American flag tshirt to reveal a Trump/Vance shirt was absolutely appalling.

Hulk influenced our culture in many ways. Some of them are hidden in plain sight.

Thanks for the support on the thread where I told the guy to "get a life". I'm only just getting back to it now, and seeing his emo reply, & thread is closed.
(I changed my notifications so I don't get notified on all responses, since I felt that I was being mean and irritable about it, days when I didn't want to be pulled into conversation w people).
I have days where I'm trying to focus and repeated notifications over small stuff, kinda get on my nerves.
That's why I try to avoid group chats online and on my cell. The repeated notifications drive me crazy.

To be clear, I get why people want private shows not rebroadcast. The behavior I don't like (which many of you articulated thankfully), is getting that pompous and emo about, what seems to me, to be a relatively small issue. Trying to get someone fired from their site, for not even breaking the site rules, seems concerningly psycho to me. I have no problem with guys who don't want their privates rebroadcast. I totally get that. What I don't get is the "I'M GONNA GET YOU FIRED AND DESTROY YOU FOR THIS" attitude. It's a bit OTT, and disgusts me. Then to top it off taking life energy and repeatedly going back to stalk and check obsessively, that someone has been punished, over something so minor. If I were acting that way somewhere, I would want people to help me put things into rational perspective. And to tell me I was being way out of line and crazy, and coming across like an angry person full of irrational hate.

So thanks to those of you who kinda backed up the point I was trying to make, but didn't really have time to get fully into

Has anyone else seen the posts about Uber rolling out a feature that will allow women passengers and riders to only accept rides for/from other women? On every post I’ve seen about it, the comments from so many men are absolutely wild.

Like, I truly do not understand why these dudes are so pressed about this. They’re acting like Uber personally spit in their face or said they have a small dick with how mad some of them are. No sane person is saying that ALL men are dangerous predators. However, there are dangerous men out there and as women, when you’re dealing with a male stranger there’s no way of knowing if he is or isn’t one of those dangerous men at first. We have to do what we can to protect ourselves, and thankfully there’s amazing men out there who fully understand that and don’t take offense to women trying to protect themselves.

ETA: It reminds me of the bear or man argument and just how absolutely angry some men were when women said they’d rather the bear.

Even if people have inadequate empathy to consider how they would feel in that situation, I wonder how they can't manage to consider someone important to them taking that same cab journey........ SMH

Right? What’s crazy is that I had a conversation with a female family member about this and she was like “I can understand why men would get mad at this”. I do not. I had to make the same point I made here to her.

On the flip side, I had a conversation with my boyfriend earlier today about a commute situation with my new vanilla job. Basically, what is my best course of action getting to and from work when I only live half a mile away and don’t want to deal with finding parking for such a short distance, but also don’t want to walk home at night by myself. He mentioned something about how maybe a coworker could drop me off, but then added “if it’s a male coworker, don’t get into a car with them until you know him well enough to trust him”. Not out of jealousy, but out of regard for my safety because he acknowledges the fact that some men are dangerous.

I’ve thankfully had only positive experiences with uber drivers, male and female *knocks on wood*. However, I’ve also seen horror stories online about women being harassed by male drivers and I saw one story of a woman who was literally getting kidnapped by her driver and had to jump out the moving vehicle to get away. That stuff is scary.

I know there’s a sizable portion of good men out there like my partner who can acknowledge this, but there’s so many who don’t care or care more over this perceived “slight” against men or the fact that they feel excluded.

 

[omni]

These are the same guys that 1. got made at the 'man or bear' topic, 2. give good men a bad name, and 3. are the ones you definitely shouldn't get in a car with.

Toxic masculinity is the most fragile of egos, and I'm ashamed I have to share a title of 'man' with them.

File this under “good problems to have,” but I managed to stress myself out… while on vacation.

I’m six days into a lengthy PTO leave. I deliberately reserved the first week for a total reprogramming… no alarm clock, no set plans, just complete freedom to wake up whenever and do whatever. The first four days were glorious. I caught up on rest, went to random new places, etc. But now, I’m kind of missing the structure of having things planned. Waking up with nothing specific to do kind of messed with my head, after a while. The second leg of my vacay is packed with plans - flying out of town, meeting friends in fun places, etc. And to be honest, it can’t get here quickly enough.

Does anyone else go a little crazy if they don’t have plans and structure to their day-to-day? I did it on purpose, but I’m finding that it isn’t my favorite way to operate.

I dont do vacations for that exact reason, even when I worked vanilla jobs I used to book my pto because I was forced to but then booked overtime on top of them . Now I always have so much to do that not having things to do is never a problem

That’s typically how I am, too. In my line of work, there are always a lot of things happening at once. If I didn’t stay organized and stick to a schedule, I’d be overwhelmed in a hurry. I think the fact that I do well in that environment is the same reason I’m stressing while on break.

The lack of structure, but also the nagging feeling that if I’m not busy, something is wrong. I think I need a side project or something.

I guess my age shows, but this t shirt got good reactions in the office. I’m not ashamed to be 45

Yes, absolutely. I go insane and start to get kinda destructive and depressed if I don't have plans for time off. 2 days in a row is the max I can handle it, then the restlessness becomes too painful.
I took a vacay for 4 days in June, and I was practically crawling out of my skin.

Hopefully this won't be like the DoorDash feature where it claims I have the option to enable or disable the 4-digit PIN feature (requires a 4-digit PIN in order to receive your food), yet when I disable it, the button still slides over to enable it anyway. Lol. Like okay, if you're gonna force me to use the PIN feature, don't act like it's optional.

I like the idea of Uber giving female passengers the option to only accept female drivers. But I think it should be just that...an optional feature...not a requirement. Depending on my mood...sometimes I prefer dealing with a man in a customer service role if he's friendly without prying in my personal business. I don't like being in customer service situations where I wind up with some woman who feels the need to make a snarky remark. Lol. Like I don't enjoy interacting with people who feel the need to judge me for being my age and not having a car. Anytime I hear that, it's almost always women. The nosey busybodies can be annoying. Lol. I wound up in a conversation like that last week with a woman while I was out walking the track for an hour. And then she was in my business asking me where do I go to get my hair done, because she does hair. *Sigh* Lol.

On the other hand, there are times when I just want to get from point A to point B without having to deal with men and their shit. LOL. I've had a Lyft driver ask me for my phone number a few years ago, which was uncomfortable. And I've had one or two male Uber drivers laugh at me because I check the license plate number before getting into a vehicle (and of course I had words for them, because I didn't appreciate that...).
