Squirrel , in Sex work would probably be less stigmatized in a currencyless society

There will always be exhibitionists and people who just like to fuck, but sex work is, by definition, transactional. You're not going to see a society with free communal whores who aren't being compensated in any way.

transactional

I prefer "tit for tat".

I was more thinking any and all forms if sex work, however you want to transpose their equivalents in a post-scarcity society.

Aux ,

You're just delusional.

Oh boy, you need so much stellaris /s

Delusional , in If Batman was real today, he'd go after the CEOs of companies, not gangsters.

And politicians. Clearly corrupt republican politicians who are trying to destroy democracy for some reason.

Because you assume a camper seeks quietness and privacy. Some campers may just seek camaraderie of what they guess would be like-minded people

Have you lived a million years?

Can confirm OP is older than dirt.

AA5B , in If Batman was real today, he'd go after the CEOs of companies, not gangsters.

Instead of being trained by Ras Al gul, he’d have been trained under both 4chan and qanon. Instead of working out his emotional demons by maiming henchmen, he’d be an incel shitposting. Instead of Alfred admonishing him to be careful, he admonish Bruce to go outside and socialize once in a while

Duamerthrax ,

That's just Frank Miller's Batman.

I think your shock and confusion is 100% valid. The whole point of trekking out to remote camping spot in a National Forest is usually to get the hell away from other people, is it not? That seems... rude at worst, and ignorant of them at best.

Introverted versus Extroverted personalities.

The behavior is likely due to the wide spectrum of human functional thought. Perhaps they went camping to share a niche social experience. TBC, I want to have my space too.

An empty parking spot with dozens of open spaces and I park far away, clearly trying to avoid other cars. I come back and the one other car in the vicinity of my own is parked right next to it. Fucking why!

XeroxCool ,

You parked far away because you care about your car. They parked next to you because they trust you to not ding theirs.

Or to spite you.

Depends:

  • two camper vans ? Weird
  • two simple automobiles ? It’s the right way to park even if the lot is empty . You make sure to align to the other parked cars.

Am I crazy or is the weird thing actually where you drive to a national forest and “dispersed” camp in your car?

In my mind dispersed camping is when you maybe drive to a trailhead but then actually camp after hiking several miles into the forest.

If I saw a car parked in a parking lot I would not assume anyone was sleeping in it.

Maybe it’s a regional thing?

Yeah, depending on where I'm going, there are specific areas you can bring your car around to if you're deciding to camp in the car lol parking lots, in my experience, are for day trippers and people looking to drop their car off and hoof it to the stream for fishing or go deeper to camp/backpack.

Edit: West Coast/Rockies and foothills mainly for me.

GBU_28 ,

Dispersed just means undefined sites

HiddenLychee ,

Dispersed camping is any designated campsite that allows you to show up and go as you please. In Montana, they're everywhere and frequently have spots to put your RV or car. "Dispersed" is a designation by the NFS for these sites

enbyecho ,

Not to quibble but technically dispersed camping, according to the USFS, is camping anywhere outside designated sites. The distinction is important because people believe they can't camp on USFS (or BLM) land for free, almost anywhere they want. In fact with relatively few exceptions and with a bunch of rules like time limits, proximity to water sources, fire restrictions etc etc, you can.

HiddenLychee ,

Yeah that's totally fair, I felt weird writing that because that was how I was brought up thinking of it. I suppose where I live, the dispersed camping is very clean cut and does show up on NFS listings, so I've learned to think of it differently recently. I suppose at the very least me and many other people just call any first come first serve camping "dispersed" because of this 🤷‍♀️

Whatever the case, it certainly doesn't need to be a backpacking spot.

Huh? Are you just talking about like a girlfriend?

5714 ,

not all people deflate (traditional) intimate relationships into communistic sex work.

difference is you can operate a sex-for-everyone-booth or have sex with someone you deeply trust, know and care about (gf).

(i also hope that you don't assume the readers are all heterosexual men, because then you would have much bigger problems with your gender politics)

moon ,

I don't think unpaid public sex slaves exist, they always pick their mates.

Batman could have done more good as Bruce Wayne and instead dressed up like a bat to beat up street level thugs. If he was real, I don't think it would make a difference what time period he was in, he'd still be traumatized by his parents death and decide to dress up like a bat to beat up street level thugs.

StaySquared , in Sex work would probably be less stigmatized in a currencyless society

So like.. cut her lawn for sexors?
