    Yeah I'm in Mass, but the company I worked for was out where I live, closer to Worcester area. If he did any Logan Airport runs I guarantee I was with him though - they used to make all of the limo drivers queue up at this area with a trailer and some screens, and you could only pull around to the terminals at a certain time after the flight your person was on was confirmed at the gate, because you couldn't really stop outside the terminal for more than 2 minutes or the state police tried to shoot you in the face. It sucked, and made it almost impossible to keep the person you were picking up happy, i.e. get a good tip. I fucking HATED going to Logan.

    TF Green Airport down in Rhode Island though, you just got there whenever you wanted, parked the limo and went inside and waited for the person to come down an escalator like you see on the movies. You could grab a coffee like a person and just hang out waiting for them, so you were there at the exact right time, which is what people want when they're paying to be picked up.

    The sad part is that this won't change anything.

    Pornhub is arguably what kicked this whole thing off. Some people have the view that the below article was a catalyst for the recent trends we're seeing.

    Yes, but their new verification system makes it a lot less crowdsourced/democratic, and gives more exposure to the big production companies.

    IIRC, there were only a few hundred confirmed cases of abuse-related material found during the PornHub investigation, meanwhile there are several thousand moderated off of Facebook every year. So while the PH TOS change was a good step, it doesn't even begin to solve the root problems of trafficking & abuse.

    we watched a little because we needed a break from shark tank and family feud..it was boring and as scattered as you could imagine.

    he literally said the vaccine is “good” and “is working”…one of the ladies behind him had the most confused look on her face like she was having an existential crisis. She was gone shortly after.
