It just sucks. Every way around.
And as I mentioned lower - if recorded prostitution becomes legal, it is going to be government ordered.
People in jails just sitting ducks (you get time off if you do this film). Then people on street will become criminals, and so on. But I am the crazy one thinking about government ordered porn.
It is too slippery slope in a war.

You know, looking at my down votes I wonder if they are against punishment, or me calling them abusers?

I believe there would be some state sponsored kidnapping. If it’s already not going on.
Edit: it is a freaking war. Atrocities happen every minute.

That’s true and very sad.

You can only have safe working environment for sex workers when a country is stable and has good law enforcement (the whole justice system).
The regulations they would introduce - wouldn’t worth the paper they are printed on. It is wartime, they have better things to worry about, than some ‘removed getting it’.

This is just an other revenue stream that would cause more victimization.
But most readers will see only one thing: “More Porn!”

Good for them. Strike ahead!
They were tourists - they need to accept the local customs not the other way around.

I think I saw a lot of Russian propaganda about Ukrainian drafting officers dragging / catching men and drafting by force.
If even 10% of those news are true - how fast you think the same 10% will drag attractive women/boys/girls to star their smut? And don’t forget the Mafia exist there also.

I’m hesitant about porn industry during war. The industry by default is way to exploiting. Now if it would be switched to legal status.
There going to be a lot more victims.

I don’t have boring one.

I believe in corpoal punishment for children - as is some spanking with hand. Not beating children.
If you are using a belt that means you are hitting harder than your hand would take, so that’s abuse territory.

There was something similar in the US about Quaker clothing being prosecuted. In the 1600s - but they built up enough community to be strong enough to protect themselves.

I don’t not like the powers to tell anyone how to dress.

The problem that those powers include their fathers and brothers and their religion also.
Such a sticky situation that doesn’t have any real solution.

This reminds me of a story that I was told as a child. I don’t know how true it is, but here it goes:
When potato came to Europe people didn’t know how to eat it. So they were dropping dead or getting really sick eating the fruits.
They got so angry that they burned the fields and when they tried to get rid of the roots, they found them cooked. And that’s how they learned how to eat potatoes properly.

I think it is stupid to lie about little things. It takes too much effort in every day life - so it’s easier to not over share and boast about stupid things.

You will have to keep track of those anc that’s just work for no gain. Because lies never feels like a real achievement, and eventually you will be found out.

If you decide to make up a lie - think it through and look for weak spots and illogical parts. Do the work upfront so the stress is off your shoulder.

Lots of cheap jokes - but that doesn’t make them bad jokes.
Towels at the nudist beach is a classic. (Technically every episode is classic tho)

One more reason why being exploited is bad for the victims.
I hope they will be able to come up a plan and implement it successfully. But this is usually when nationalistic parties get to power and take out their anger on the weakest part of the society. Knowing all the blood that was spilled for the diamonds historically - human life doesn’t carry enough value.
Still I wish the best for them - and I will do my best to not buy/get any mined stones.

Great job!
Just a small advice: sometimes it helps to stand back a bit and just look at the overall shape.
Please don’t take thos as a critique - because you are doing great job. If you look at the girl on the photo, on the sticking out leg: if you draw a straight line up you will see where the hand should be compared to the ankle. Similar thing with the triangle of the legs: how long and tall each side compared to each other.
Tho it might be the sole reason: you were running out of “paper” - that is also a valuable lesson :)
Keep up the good work!

I love and hate your comment.
Thanks for pointing out couple more nightmares to come and stay! :)

I do not know why you would want to have closer relationship with basically your neighbors. Within hours, same-ish time zone - and relatively strong regulations.
Vs a temperamental manchild that starts wars on a whim and doesn’t even think about keeping promises/agreements.

Naive question because all my info is from this article.
Is she a fall person, or was she actually a participant?

The funny thing if they were using that money to build utilities / buildings for the community to use - that could be applauded.
But they are taking money to pay for a for profit company, that will provide for profit services, that will disturb locals for profit.

They were using it to prop the economy up.
I look at it more as a tool that people in charge using, than the actual thing to blame. We should call names imho…
