Everyday thoughts, but not every day

Ho, ho, ho
Not in Chicago

We've previously mused on the likelihood that the ladies of 150 South Wacker Drive were actually whacking off somewhere altogether less salubrious than even Jussie Smollett's MAGA country. I've recently been taking more notice of the UTC timestamps in the email headers, and it's almost predictably enlightening.

Of the thirteen sex workers below, none have a time zone stamp of UTC-0500. In fact, twelve have sent at least one message from a time zone more accurately associated with somewhere like, for argument's sake, Hyderabad. (shock)

It's nice to go a'travellin'

Not all of Magnus Conferences' bed-bangers appear to walk the streets and pound the mattresses of Hyderabad. That's not a sign of honesty though. There are plenty of opportunities for ladies of easy virtue elsewhere. Currently, the UTC+00:00 timestamp would place them in Iceland or somewhere in West Africa.

Some of them—Emily, Jaz, and Luciana—seem to flit between time zones, possibly visiting family or overseas johns clients.

A more likely, albeit more mundane, explanation is that their email server is located in a different time zone, or is simply set to one. But no one considers faking the Windy City's UTC‑05:00 time zone. (shrug)

Ho boi

Among all those hoes, there's a lone rent boy, Mathew Brown. I'm assuming that it was in his excitement, over the imminence of Pharmaceutics-2022 in June, that he changed his name to Matthews by mistake. I can't help but wonder whether he works by the old maxim: it's better to give than to receive.(prick)

When looking into the origin of the saying, it's better to give than to receive, it appears that it comes from the bible.

What Does Jesus Mean by It's Better to Give Than Receive? The word blessed, or sometimes translated ‘better,’ comes from the Greek word makarion which means happy. In Acts 20:35 the apostle Paul is speaking to the church of Ephesus when he quotes Jesus by saying: “‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” When Jesus says our giving is more blessed, He’s telling us that there is more happiness or joy to be found in God when we give, rather than when we receive. This saying from Jesus is not recorded in the Gospels but was most likely passed onto Paul by those who heard Jesus teach. We know from John 21:25 that Jesus did and said many things that are not recorded in the Bible. Therefore, we need to look at both Jesus’ example throughout the Gospels, and the context of Pauls' speech in Acts 20 for the meaning of the phrase.

Stephanie Englehart, Why Does the Book of Acts Say It's Better to Give Than Receive?, Crosswalk

This is all very well and good for Christians who want to be blessed. But have the selfish bastards ever considered the problem that it creates for God? Because the recipient's receiving is counterbalanced by the giver's giving. Nobody gives the poor bugger a break.
