This is all absurd, obviously, but:

The new subscription can be stacked with a Plus, Gold or Platinum subscription for access to more features, the company notes.

$499 and you don’t even get everything there is to get? You still have to pay for more? What in the fuck?

Shit they could probably include travel to an area with legal prostitution and still come out ahead.

I’m kind of surprised that not a single state has yet.

Like the states that legalized weed have made a bonkers amount of tax money while the others continue to lose out to other states or the black market. And oh look, suddenly way less drug crime.

Legalize it, regulate it, then tax it. The Netherlands figured it out. Kind of surprised Nevada hasn’t taken their shot. A state could legalize it and watch their tourist and tax revenues skyrocket while likely lowering human trafficking to boot.

May I introduce Nevada? The only state with both casinos and brothels.

I’m not against legalization of prostition or drugs, but the only thing The Netherlands figured out is that simply legalization doesn’t make the problems go away. Both drug crime and human trafficking are still a big issue.

i honestly didn’t know sex work was still illegal hopefully there’s some society resurgence in support of them.

i feel like as a society if a topic isn’t trending in news nothing happens to it.

If you are at the point where paying $499+ a month looks like the only way you’ll ever have a significant other or even just sex just invest that money in therapy or drugs or a super high end sex doll or a high class hooker but not in fucking Tinder. Jesus.

I’m guessing the only purpose of this is to show you have fuck-me money. Which sounds like it might work very, very well.

But if that’s the case just go to a club a pay for bottle service or something and invite some women to drink for free. Probably have better luck than trying to be splashy on Tinder hahaha
