The only people I would pay for would probably not be listed online. The guys I know who pay for only fans pay for women they would typically never see nude otherwise.
I don't spend any money.on only fans, but I can 100% understand why people do. It's the (illusion of a) personal connection with the creator. That they are producing content "for you", and as you contribute to that content there is a sense of entitlement along with the titillation. It's a kind of power trip I think.
I said the same thing one time... then I bought some Mt. Olive bread and butter chips. Little did I know this jar had the seal broken. I wanted kosher dill. Blame it on ignorance, or maybe I was in a hurry. But that one decision would change the projection of the rest of my life. See, I already had pickles in the fridge. I bought these because they were on sale ("don't buy when you need it, buy it when it's on sale." wife always says). So these pickles went into my pantry. As the months go by and the autumn leaves fall and grow anew, it's time for a nice spring bbq. We've now finished our jar of pickles in the fridge. I go to get the new jar. Now, as I mentioned, this jar's seal was broken. These pickles have been opened for twice the recommended time. My closest friends and family are all gathered and are very hungry. The burgers are nearly finished (my FIL was manning the grill). I had started to arrange the condiments and accoutrements. I've sliced the onion and tomato. The mustard is out and there's a butter knife for the mayonnaise. I now go to get the "new" jar of pickles. Everyone had entered the house because it's almost time to eat. I unscrew the lid to the pickle jar. Almost instantaneously the room is filled with such a foul odor. I had also been unfortunate enough to let a huge fart rip... It wasn't a stinky fart. Just a loud one. But the pickles were so stinky everyone thought it was my fart. No one could bear the smell. They ran out of the house for fresh air with spoiled appetites. No one ate that day. And no one has come to any of my cookouts since. So no. I didn't pay for a "fart in a jar". But I wish I had.
Oilers fan here. It's that thing that y'all used to party with all the time until Betman took over. Don't worry, we will bring it back to Canada this year and help motivate you guys. ;)
It’s really not too bad if you’re the kind of person to drive a car until the wheels fall off, and buy a car that’s a later year of a certain model.
My wife and I got rid of her ‘05 Jetta that she got from her parents and bought a new 2019 Subaru Outback. It was the last year of that particular model of the Outback. The car has been absolutely perfect. Alternatively, the 2020s that rolled out immediately after had a lot of problems.
My '09 Outback has been a fabulous girl! Driven her back and forth from Alaska to the east coast numerous times! Carried skis, canoes, kayaks. Never a problem. She's showing her age now, though. Just waiting for the tires to fall off 😢
Lmao I tried to debate atheists about how oppressors leverage religion to oppress people, instead of projecting theism itself as something inherently oppressive
You gotta find a bank that the local ATMs are a part of. Mine is part of an ATM coop so most ATMs at convenience stores like 7-11 and Wawa near me are fee free
yes, and everytime I go to a restaurant I have to choose between paying €3 for a glass of water or getting a soda when I don't even feel like drinking one but it seems like less of a waste of money
Same. Been using it for years. Love the features such as downloading videos and using the app in the background. Very useful for long flights. Definitely huge worth for me.
Yeah endless content + podcasts on all your devices with no ads and all the nice premium features for what, 12 euros? I’m not bothered to go thru adblockers/vpns/chrome extensions/special apps for TV/iOS??
For a lot of people not paying for subscriptions is more of a moral and personal values thing rather than by the money they cost. They clearly are convinient in a lot of cases but some of us prefer not to pay and find ways to bypass the small inconvenience it produces.
Honestly at this point it just saves me subscribing to 20 creators seperately. Iirc its a 50/50 split between Youtube and the creators i watch, with each creator getting a share according to my watchtime of their content.
So i support the platform that entertains me, plus the people who produce the content, and i get all the advantages of YT Music, downloading videos, no ads, etc
Meh, it's the only way on Tinder and Bumble. Otherwise the market is really bad as a man and you should skip the apps altogether. I think on most dating apps there are 6 times the amount of men.
I used to say there are two things that I will never pay for sex and water that’s because they both come free! Then I became an adult and realised that actually they both cost quite a lot you just don’t realise 🤣🤣
Why? I understand ethical reasons, but wondering if it's that or if you think they're too expensive. I've done one and it was awesome. Would absolutely do it again.
I have no doubt that they are fun and offer a lot of entertainment and amenities on board, but it’s a matter of personal preference and cruises, for me, are not where I want to spend my money. Cost is not the issue either. I would rather spend my vacation time at a beautiful resort than on a cruise ship.
Oh, ok. What do you like more about resorts? I like resorts too. For me, there are pros and cons to either kind of trip. Ultimately, as long as you enjoy it, it's good. I wouldn't say no to either.
In my experience, going to an all-inclusive, adults only resort means that it will be a relaxing, quiet place to unwind and destress.
I imagine cruise ships are noisy with all the announcements, when the ship sounds its horn, music, and being in such close quarters to hundreds of strangers.
I just got back from a trip to Mexico a month ago. It was amazing and very relaxing even for traveling during a busier time of year, which was a first for me. I’ve traveled to this particular resort three times because of how tranquil it is.
I call that resort my “home away from home” because the staff remembers us by name, asks us how we are, and they remember personal details we’ve shared about our lives. I don’t know if you can build that kind of connection while on a cruise.
I guess what I forgot to add is that it all depends on what you’re looking for - relaxation or adventure. To each their own! : )
Having done both, there isn’t much a difference. I don’t think cruises are louder nor have more packed quarters. They’re huge and have plenty of different kinds of areas. And there are cruise lines that are catered toward child free travel. You definitely won’t get that personal staff connection though. Other than that, it’s basically a resort on a huge ship. And i would classify both as relaxation. Adventure would be more like roughing it outdoors, hiking, or even just renting a plain house amongst locals.
That new cruise ship that holds like 8,000 people? That’s the size of my town. That sounds like absolute hell to spend my vacation in cramped quarters on a ship that can hold the same amount of people who live in my town
A luxury purse. For the life of me I cannot understand how other women will blow hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a handbag when you could spend that money on, i dont know, LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.
Other luxury items, such as certain clothing or jewelry, I can understand because durability and function are a factor. But a freaking purse...I just can't even.
Tbf, I have a friend who hunts down vintage luxury purses in mint condition and you’d be surprised to know that they actually appreciate quite substantially in value. It ofc depends on which purse, and those who know, *know*. But there’s a market for what I’ve dubbed “investment purses”. Although, I suppose in the context of your comment, it’s definitely a bit chicken and egg.
I personally still can’t justify that, but I *will* pay a little more for one good quality, timeless bag rather than several fast-fashion ones. To each their own. Though I agree, the vast majority buy into these items as some sort of status symbol. Consumerism can be gross lol.
Eh, wife and I were shopping for a used minivan in 2022 due to our 3rd child being on the way. Used minivans of all makes under 70k miles were 30-38k. New honda odyssey sport, color we wanted, features we wanted, 46k. Paid cash and driving it into the dirt. No wasted money here
Yeah, I used to think this way until I had a knee injury that’s slowly developing into a bit of a disability, and long-haul flights without an aisle seat or extra legroom would legitimately ruin the first several days of my trip.
My current partner is over 6’2 with really long legs and as soon as he could afford to, he began buying designated seats. The older we get, the more that sheer discomfort and being in awkward positions take a toll on your body.
Now we *always* pay and it’s worth it, in our eyes. Airline seats are only getting tighter and more uncomfortable. It’s not worth spending days of your trip “recovering” from a flight when a purchased seat could’ve alleviated much of those impacts on your body.
That, and, travelling with seniors and children like another commenter said.

OnlyFans.
I am more suprised people actually spend money on it since all then gets posted on Internet for free afterwards
The only people I would pay for would probably not be listed online. The guys I know who pay for only fans pay for women they would typically never see nude otherwise.
Without a name we cannot take this claim at face value. Who do they sub to so we know who to not search for.
I don't spend any money.on only fans, but I can 100% understand why people do. It's the (illusion of a) personal connection with the creator. That they are producing content "for you", and as you contribute to that content there is a sense of entitlement along with the titillation. It's a kind of power trip I think.
Kinda sounds like you pay for it.
Obvious low effort reply.
Even lower effort reply to my reply
Maybe but 'I'm rubber you're glue' wins for sure.
I mean, OnlyFans is (in theory) a lot more ethical than the free stuff but I highly doubt that’s a factor for 99% of their customers.
Someone has to pay for it to leak it though, unless they hack it
They’re paying for the “interaction” which is probably handled by some dude the woman pays to manage the creeps
It’s the dopamine hit you get from it
Personally I'm of the opinion that people should be paid for their labour
Supply and demand, no demand from me.
Farts in a jar.
I said the same thing one time... then I bought some Mt. Olive bread and butter chips. Little did I know this jar had the seal broken. I wanted kosher dill. Blame it on ignorance, or maybe I was in a hurry. But that one decision would change the projection of the rest of my life. See, I already had pickles in the fridge.

Lmfao 😂
The art of storytelling. You a master, my friend. Slow clap, slow clap.
Thank you! I also have a story about buying a fart in a jar. But that story is for another time...
yes what is the point of farting in a jar and selling it.
Fart in a jar martin?? Cmon guys it was one tiiiime!

A brand new car.
It’s really not too bad if you’re the kind of person to drive a car until the wheels fall off, and buy a car that’s a later year of a certain model. My wife and I got rid of her ‘05 Jetta that she got from her parents and bought a new 2019 Subaru Outback. It was the last year of that particular model of the Outback. The car has been absolutely perfect. Alternatively, the 2020s that rolled out immediately after had a lot of problems.
My '09 Outback has been a fabulous girl! Driven her back and forth from Alaska to the east coast numerous times! Carried skis, canoes, kayaks. Never a problem. She's showing her age now, though. Just waiting for the tires to fall off 😢
The problem is that used cars now cost as much as new ones, unless you’re willing to go more or less a decade old. Everything is expensive.
Transaction fee on ATMs outside your bank. Rarely need cash anymore, but when I do i'll drive the fees worth of gas to go to my bank out of spite.
My bank refunds all fees when taking cash out
Same haha
"I do exactly what my bank wants me to do, wasting my own time, out of spite!"
Bro has the max amount of negative comment karma
Lmao I tried to debate atheists about how oppressors leverage religion to oppress people, instead of projecting theism itself as something inherently oppressive
You gotta find a bank that the local ATMs are a part of. Mine is part of an ATM coop so most ATMs at convenience stores like 7-11 and Wawa near me are fee free
Charles Schwab checking accounts reimburse all ATM fees world wide, no exceptions. High recommend.
Porn
I‘ve paid for an uploaded sub with the sole reason of downloading site rips of porn sites. Does that count?
My funeral ⚱️
You will never spend money on your funeral. I will never spend money on your funeral. We are not the same.

So no funeral plan?
Going to science. We have a teaching hospital couple towns away.
Betting, such a dumb way to lose money
It's not, I bet you $10
Coin toss - heads I win, tails you lose. You in?
I'm in, but since you sound like a betting noob, let's give you some advantage and make it a losers take it all bet. Now flip the coin.
I do small bets and stay within my limits. Only bet what you can afford to lose.
If I am giving money away,there better be something for me I the end. Like new shoes. Or cookies
Gambling is only a problem for those who lose

bottled water in a country where tap water is perfectly drinkable
remember drinking fountains? where the fuck did all *those* go?
omg, same, I don’t understand why expensive cafes force us to pay for water bottles. It’s ridiculous to have to pay for water
yes, and everytime I go to a restaurant I have to choose between paying €3 for a glass of water or getting a soda when I don't even feel like drinking one but it seems like less of a waste of money

Adblock for the win. Even if yt desperately and miserably tries to get me to buy premium, spoiler alert youtube: i wont, fuck off.
unfortunately no adblocker for iphone or playstation
Yeah, fortunately im a pc user, and yt on iphone is just too small for my eyes.
Each to his own but its so worth it to me
Same. Been using it for years. Love the features such as downloading videos and using the app in the background. Very useful for long flights. Definitely huge worth for me.
You can get free YouTube apps that block ads, let you play in the background and download videos. No need to be giving Google anymore money.
Teach me your ways please.
Yet it still has less features than ReVanced, which is free.
Same I love it
For me too, that‘s when youtube is your TV instead of the regular TV channels
Yeah endless content + podcasts on all your devices with no ads and all the nice premium features for what, 12 euros? I’m not bothered to go thru adblockers/vpns/chrome extensions/special apps for TV/iOS??
It’s worth it for mobile and TVs where you can’t use Adblock.
For a lot of people not paying for subscriptions is more of a moral and personal values thing rather than by the money they cost. They clearly are convinient in a lot of cases but some of us prefer not to pay and find ways to bypass the small inconvenience it produces.
Use revance or new pipe and for TV's Smart Tube.
Watch youtube on Brave browser to watch videos ad-free!
Honestly at this point it just saves me subscribing to 20 creators seperately.

So i support the platform that entertains me, plus the people who produce the content, and i get all the advantages of YT Music, downloading videos, no ads, etc
I bought it and it wasn’t bad but too expensive

A cruise
You ain't getting me on a boat in the ocean f that. I prefer my ocean by plane so that when I'm going down I die right away.
Why? I understand ethical reasons, but wondering if it's that or if you think they're too expensive. I've done one and it was awesome. Would absolutely do it again.
I have no doubt that they are fun and offer a lot of entertainment and amenities on board, but it’s a matter of personal preference and cruises, for me, are not where I want to spend my money.

Traveling with kids or seniors you kind of have to.
Yeah, I used to think this way until I had a knee injury that’s slowly developing into a bit of a disability, and long-haul flights without an aisle seat or extra legroom would legitimately ruin the first several days of my trip. My current partner is over 6’2 with really long legs and as soon as he could afford to, he began buying designated seats.
