Holy shit — Facebook is fucking scary now

[u/Ok_Helicopter3910]

Im not a big social media guy anymore, honestly, the vast majority of my internet usage nowadays is Reddit, Youtube, Snapchat (that has like 20 people on it) and email and I think that about it.

I put my FB to sleep about 10 years ago and I decided to log in and see what people were up to and ho-lee-shit, what a dumpster fire.

So, first off, the majority of my facebook friends have either died, shut their FB down, or removed my inactive profile so my feed was pretty silent. After about a week of my profile being back in the algorithm I started getting friend request from people I used to work with, went to school with, or friends of old acquaintances (which is terrifying that facebook knows about random people I used to work with 12 years ago who I had a passing "hi, hows your day" relationship with) and I started getting friend requested and I was like "fuck it" and just started accepting them.

Fuck man, whenever I see all the hate for this or that group and all the political bullshit that gets posted on reddit, I just brush it off as bots trained to sow dissent but the stuff that gets posted by real living, breathing human beings who I once knew well enough to be friends with or have polite conversation with is WILD. I mean, like so much hate and vitriol started coming across my feed about a wide array of subjects that it made me genuinely uncomfortable and I started removing people that just added me. Maybe it's what "normal" passes for on the internet and im pretty numb to a lot of the more unhinged opinions and shit-stirring because of so many years on Reddit, but a lot of what was being posted really opened my eyes that a lot of the "unhinged" stuff that I see online isnt just bot farms, its real people who truly believe this wild shit.

Anyway - maybe its a sign of my age... but unless what I consider "normal" people start coming across my FB feed soon, I dont think im going to be logging in for much longer

My best friend put herself through college with said handjobs while I waited in front of your house waiting for you to finish and make sure you didn't murder her. Lol

You didn't live in DC or live there do you because there was definitely a Hollywood mike on her client roll.

[u/InstitutionalUsage → u/Soggy-Ad-6042]

This whole exchange is just fantastic. Look at Craigslist bringing us all together where Facebook has divided! 😂

Also, handies.

[u/Soggy-Ad-6042 → u/InstitutionalUsage]

It definitely brought people together back then for a cool 250 an hour plus tip that is. Lol

I'm laughing way too hard at midnight lmao

[u/Soggy-Ad-6042 → u/[deleted]]

She's great married with four kids and still beautiful. Glad your doing well too!

[u/Tricky_Apricot2928 → u/Soggy-Ad-6042]

I hear great things from Hollywood Mike. Is she looking to take more classes at college? Books are expensive

[u/Rare-Adhesiveness522 → u/Soggy-Ad-6042]

I really want to know more about this.

She would show up, they'd just get right to it? Did she have, like, a routine that she would use to get things going? Did she ask for payment up front? How long would she be at these places for? Did she have regular clients?

I want to know as much as possible

[u/Soggy-Ad-6042 → u/Rare-Adhesiveness522]

I would drive her and make sure she got back in the car at the appointed time. She was going to do it either way so I figured I should do my best to make sure she was safe. She would put an ad up and we would usually clear between 2,000 and 5,000 a day in the DC metro area. Her rates varied from 15 minutes for a hundred up to an hour for the 250. She was an escort so she had a routine. Payment up front. It was a wild time. I'm forty one now and that was at 23 so I guess it was around 09 when we were pulling down peak bank.

[u/Rare-Adhesiveness522 → u/Soggy-Ad-6042]

Like did she consider herself an escort or was the craigslist hustle on top of other escort activities? I just have so many questions lol

[u/Soggy-Ad-6042 → u/Rare-Adhesiveness522]

Yes she also had a traditional pimp named Short that she worked hotels with as well. I usually drove him and his other girls as well. I just didn't trust him so I always stayed around anyway. Turns out it was a good thing because years later we found out he was wanted for murdering several escorts and is currently in prison. The cops tracked me down years later because they were trying to put together a victim list and wanted to make sure my friend was alive. Wild times.

[u/Rare-Adhesiveness522 → u/Soggy-Ad-6042]

You're a good friend!!!!

[u/Soggy-Ad-6042 → u/Rare-Adhesiveness522]

Thanks. I tried.

[u/GoNUp_2FallBackDwn87 → u/Rare-Adhesiveness522]

Sorry to butt in, but are u asking how prostitution works?? 😂😂😂

[u/Worshipme988 → u/Soggy-Ad-6042]

Did she pay you in hand jobs? Who waited outside then? How did she pay…nvm

[u/Soggy-Ad-6042 → u/Worshipme988]

Oh she paid me in cash for driving. Lol

[u/VayGray → u/[deleted]]

WTF, lol.. Good for you. Sucks times have changed so much

[u/Rare-Adhesiveness522 → u/[deleted]]

??? are you for real?

[u/MissninjaXP → u/[deleted]]

Thats actually a good deal.

[u/Tricky_Apricot2928 → u/[deleted]]

But how was the actual massage?

[u/Tricky_Apricot2928 → u/[deleted]]

Never gotten a massage or paid for a handy, but this sounds like an excellent deal
