i have a friend who was doing a twitch fundraiser, right? it was a fundraiser for a good cause. i DO fundraisers for a living. So i pop on, say hi, she doesn’t recognize me, i drop in 50 bucks because fundraiser and i could afford to tighten the belt that month. like, this is a normal donation in the charity world. She Did Not Tell Me that she was eating a slice of lemon for every dollar that was donated. Oh My Gods i have never felt so guilty for doing a fundraiser i tried to stop her. I had no idea this was a huge donation for twitch.
honestly, i still feel kinda guilty and it’s been years.
Paying your friend to eat 50 lemon slices in a row is a fantastic story at least. That’s hilarious.
accidentally paying your friend to eat 50 lemon slices in a row.
five whole lemons.
i really wish she’d told me. the lemons on my lemon tree are sweet, not sour. why did she use her own lemons
If she used sweet lemons, the whores would steal them
i have had exactly zero whores try to steal my lemons…
i am dressed pretty slutty.
am… am i the whore?
am… am i the whore?
Yes however we all enjoy your lemons 😉
here eat 50 slices
No wait, you’re doing it backwards. Whores are the financially responsible ones, they accept money, not give it.
Clip it?
This was years ago and i have spent like a total of five hours watching twitch(they were all that stream to see if anyone else would make my mistake. She explained the rules better when people logged in)
Twitch streamers, YouTubers, only fans, unrelated but scalpers probably belong here as well.
Scalpers aren’t really living off the hospitality of others, they’re taking advantage of illiquidity to create arbitrage and fuck over regular people.
Doesn’t matter how they are taking advantage, they are still parasites.
They’re the only actual parasites in that list, the rest just provide a service people pay for. Which is closer to the parasitus class described in the OP.
You guys are getting paid??
Roman society is immensely grim sounding
Roman society is pretty much the basis for the western world. The Romans are largely the reason for the rampant patriarchy we have today among other things, for instance.
I totally agree - didn’t they invent the word?
But yeah, reading about the patriarchal structure in Roman society was like…

Because there’s a clear cut path from what they set up back then to where we are today. Thanks, Romans.
