    Why “dr*g”? That’s a wierd bit of censorship - making a joke about drugs and sex workers and feeling the need to censor the word drug? I don’t get it?

    Why do you expect to be reward for being a good person? That’s just the baseline everyone should meet.

    You will never get financially ahead of everyone else by being a good worker bee. Sorry your parents and teachers lied to you. Doing well in school and getting a degree is not a pathway to riches. The vast majority of people who went from rags to riches went off the beaten path and took a massive risk.

    Also sex work doesn’t make someone a bad person.

      Exactly. You get what you give. You give the bare minimum to society, and society will give it right back. You want more, give more. Go help your community. Take out your elderly neighbor’s recycling. Volunteer at your local shelters/soup kitchens. Attend some local events. Sit in on city council meetings. When I moved out of my small town a couple years ago, I learned that real life is a lot like online forums. You have to lurk before you can post. Learn the language, the local etiquette and taboos. Watch the people in your neighborhood, their interactions. Blend into the background, and observe. Talk little, hear and see much.

        None of this shit makes you money.

    Who cares if they are Drug dealer or on Only Fans. Do they put the cart back at the store?

      I think it should have said “do the right thing” as in normal job, taxes, etc. doesn’t make you a “good person” technically

    DISCLAIMER: No, i dont think that OF people are bad (although the sex industry is shady as fuck, but that doesnt have anything to do with the people there in most cases), i just stole this from xitter because i thought it was funny due to the drug part

    I mean, the rich drug dealers you know are rich from dealing, aren’t the ones to have that lifestyle long term.

    The sensible and rich drug dealers are the ones you wouldn’t know about. Quite a few of them are landlords here in the UK (I can’t provide numbers, just a what I know thing so I won’t be offended if no one believes it - these are just my ramblings, officer).
    Basically just sensible ways to turn black market income into seemingly legitimate income, through either self-employed businesses or other means.

    They’ll have seemingly regular jobs, and will do their best to appear legitimate to not raise any red flags. You’d be very surprised at who the most successful drug dealers are, however chances are you’ll never know as well.

    I can see how an RV, lab equipment, and a helper might help, but you don’t actually need any of those to do OF.
