ordered a delicious sandwich from Jimmy John’s because I was stuck in meetings all day and couldn’t make anything. but I’m going to just put the bag on the coffee table and force myself to work out before I eat. let’s see how this goes.

I had a lot of fun last time, my favorite wrestler was a very fat man whose gimmick is being a truck driver and when he wants to rev up the crowd he turns his hat backwards and starts doing the "HONK YOUR HORN" gesture while stomping

we have a local wrestling promotion and it’s fun to go see dudes who you previously saw in the summer Shakespeare in the Park shows body slam each other. my favorite guy is named Krotch, which pretty much explains his whole deal.

i think i may spring for the VIP tickets this time because they're only like 5 bucks more a piece and it means being able to sit ringside and have the Heels get pissed at you

I'm afraid tenderjerk is right. Wrestling is for children. An adult should find wonder and joy in their work, designing new and novel ways to kill children in other countries.

i had a sharp realization the other night that practices of pimping are absolutely loving identical to the rules of american electoral politics distilled to their purest form

pimps have all the cosmetics of an attractive bachelor, while possessing none of the actual qualities
they economically have to in order to exist in such a repulsive line of work, they have no choice in order to compete at all the entire competition is which pimps pimpest
their social currency is entirely charisma, they don't generate loyalty
but pimps are in a relationship with the women working for them they have to generate something to keep people earning for em

it's a terrible transactional relationship but how does a pimp get hos they mack they spit the game at the ladies dressed like peacocks showing off the diamonds and flexin, telling them they care, telling them they'll make em rich
squaring off over territory & whose hos are earning for who. Ho start to act up they smooth talk em off the ledge or scare or smack them off it

they have no choice, just business. gotta do it all to do any of it
they have to because a pimp is entirely perception
theyre magicians if they release their influence over one and it gets around they'll lose their whole stable

they can't clamp chains on someone and trick them out on the corner, no system exists that'll protect that

they have to get their hos to trick for them, and hand them the money, day after day

the language of pimping is partially to charm and impress, and partially to protect the pimp emotionally from what he's doing
pimps up hos down, no love for em, don't be capn saveaho, ho ain't a housewife, "gently caress em n dress em but i don't fuckin feed em" etc no emotional attachment they are property
pimps separate prostitutes off to a separate form of personhood like a caste system - hos dont get to talk back, they don't get respect, another pimp respecting hos is a sign of weakness , sympathy for them etc
pimps will go after another pimp for stuff like that because it fucks up the game for all of them, they'll kill them over it

in a way the ho is the enemy of the pimp, they have to be kept in submission and collectively treated adversarially to be exploited
a ho and a Lady however are entirely separate things that receive entirely different treatment - hos are exploited, ladies are acceptable business partners and collaborators

same as how politicians see their voter base vs their financial supporters, $xxx a plate fundraisers

even when it moves off the corner and into professional escorts the business becomes gentler because its product is gentler higher class workers who can afford to walk sooner basically, but the the exploitation is through the facilitation of their own earning and they don't personally have the same pimp -ho relationship with their employer -because- the women under them do: those women being worked lowers their attractiveness fucks em up mentally physically emotionally, so they serve the lower market, allowing a higher market to exist


more hos means more earnings but can't maintain infinite relationships, they know even if they could another pimp'll come poach their stable so they try to get the most out of each they pace em

they know there's that sweet spot in lifetime earnings, thats a workload beyond what any given ho is gonna be even interested in entertaining personally but won't physically or emotionally break em
that's where they try to keep all of them and rob every cent they can get a hand on
their real job is shaking their stable down & keeping watch making sure nobody's hiding earnings or slacking off but they have to convince them to play along

when they get to a point where hos start to want to work less or be compensated more, better quality of life then they reach a point where they have to break their minds, like that early Netflix dave chapelle thing where he talks about iceberg slim making one of his hos think she killed someone to keep working etc

they have to make them believe they're not entitled to more or that the natural order of life places them under the pimp and the pimp above them and that its where both belong, either through psychological manipulation, physical coercion, chemical dependency, etc.

outside of all this though, they aren't the thing keeping the women they victimize down, the things that'll kill most prostitutes or destroy their lives aren't their pimps directly, pimps are barely even around except to pick up money, they're too busy collecting from other hos, only an unsuccessful pimp has the time to personally keep people in line

the thing that directly keeps most hos down is the other hos reinforcing the status quo, particularly the appointed bottom bitch, usually the highest earning vet "favorite" ho who enjoys privileged status above the others, basically kapos, middle managers, but they aren't causing it either, they're all manifestations of a system around all of them that allows such an obviously dishonest and abusive practice to exist at all
it's all identical lol

itsa interesting subculture, it has its own established unwritten ideology built off of very old foundations that are resistant to the changes of the modern world while also being extremely synergistic with capitalism and it creates contradictions like the dichotomy of the pimping mindset itself being empowering and endlessly self-celebratory while the actual practice is basically the most evil thing someone can do + fur coats and caddys are dope
