Do you think most Onlyfans women are recognized in real life for the sacrifices to their worth and reputation to apply?

I'd assume that for most of history, most men did orient their entire lives around their sexual preference. Regardless of how "disordered" it is to want to fuck your wife and marry her for that purpose.

That logic would apply to Russia if Russia did not inherit the vast majority of USSR's momentum, position and ambition.
Enemy country changes name, slightly shrinks, wants same things = effectively same enemy.
New country spawns from fringes of enemy country, has fraction of its power, different concerns = not the same enemy.
Ukraine could not have been the enemy of USA before 1989 because there was no such thing as a diplomatically and geopolitically separate state of Ukraine. USSR was the enemy of USA. The territory of the modern day Ukraine was territory, it could not have been the enemy of anyone. It's land. Maybe you could argue that the politicians of the Soviet Republic of Ukraine remained enemies of USA after they became independent, if you could actually trace the same politicians and the same attitudes.

I don't see where you're going with this. A lot of products have a chance of failure, but few products have none, so we prefer to work on those that have the least chance to fail.

Two products are more valuable than one.
If we have two products and we know one of them has 50% chance to break, then the other one is more valuable.
If we have two products, where one could be destroyed but wasn't, and the other was never in danger, I'd say they're the same.

baseball-sized breast implants
One would struggle to call baseball-sized implants going too far, except perhaps going too far in the other direction.
Why would they give up land? What's rational about it?
No one likes the sleazy rich guy in the movies who's like "there's no such thing as 'not for sale'!". The more insistent he is, the more pleasant the refusal.

I suppose so. If you own capital, then you can pay people to make pretty much every decision on how that capital is managed, how the risks are hedged, et cetera. At this point, the only thing you're actually doing is allowing the money to move - which is not, strictly speaking, labor. The owner does not have to be the manager.
There is risk, and the mainstream theory of value rewards those who dare to risk and do so profitably. However, I don't see how risk debunks the labor theory of value. It's plainly not labor to risk what you own.
Ok. If Iran thinks taking American hostages is sufficient deterrence from the US doing whatever it is you're accusing US of doing here, they're welcome to try that. And if I'm the US in this scenario and I don't like that my citizens are being taken as hostages, I'm going to make it clear that instead of being deterred from acting against them, I'd rather act against them in deterrence of taking American hostages.
I don't know what sort of proportionality you're talking about here. Others at least made the argument that you don't want the shoe to be on the other foot after you get too disproportionate - which is a reasonable argument (although it's too early to say whether USA miscalculated on this vs. Iran). But I don't see what kind of moral argument against disproportionality is there supposed to be between sovereign states. States don't have morality even if the underlying people do.
If you want a personal perspective then I consider taking hostages in response to funding a leader of your country that you don't like an escalation.

It's up to them to decide what they should have done. I do not care, especially since you haven't specified what kind of fucking preceded Iran taking hostages.

If I wanted a country to never again take my citizens as hostages I would've killed even more. That's what wanting someone to never fuck with you and yours means. Not essays or vibes.

My bottle is more like 500ml and I usually don't finish it during the workout. It seems like I get a lot less sweaty than the soaked-wifebeater kind of guys you can see at the gym. Don't know if I'm not giving it my all or that's just how my body works.

So we're reducing this to "everyone I don't care about". Because this is where your previously stated standard of "whoever committed a violent offense" is suddenly reversed.

I guess I'm not really literate then. Of course, I assume this means that you in turn can read eg. Dostoevsky in the original Russian editions without problems, right? Afterall, by your measure anything else would be "bowdlerization".
As far as I'm aware, the only changes to the original Dostoevsky (and contemporary authors) that are present in the editions you can read now are grammar changes - that is, updating the 19th century spelling, full of i's and ъ's, to the grammar USSR and modern Russia share.

What does your tiny bit of respect matter to them compared to not being punished by the laws they believe are unjust?

I don't think an interstellar superorganism that can only send information (and not resources, people, etc) between its parts at reasonable speed is going to remain a single superorganism for long (and one that can't even send information without a human lifetime of lag won't be one at all).
Space is the hope of liberty-minded people because it's bloody damn inconvenient to reach you there.

most of the people at the music festival attacked by Hamas were Israeli reservists, and therefore combatants. (It is a truth universally acknowledged by any society which still understands war that combatants don't become civilians just because they aren't currently attacking.)
You mean that in a country with universal conscription, everyone is a combatant until officially discharged in their 60s? Well, that would certainly be convenient for the attacker.
By that standard, are we conceding that Israelis shooting anyone on the Palestinian side of the fence who could possibly hold a rifle or an explosive device is shooting combatants?

I'm supposed to believe that an insurgency of third-world Muslims who aren't even accepted as refugees by other third-world Muslims have not raped a single person they captured in a raid - all this coming from the same mouths as the ones who claim Israel deliberately floods Europe with third-world Muslims who do rape people on occasions much less heated than a raid on their eternal enemy.
There are two worlds. In one, Hamas has acted wildly uncharacteristically of either violent guerillas who have a deep-seated hate for their enemy, or third-world Muslims. In another, you lie and/or every single outlet who could report rapes by Hamas is aligned against Israel. Given that it's no secret many third-worldists and thirdworldphiles openly hate Israel, it's not hard to believe the second world is true.

I for one wouldn't be concerned about a six-year-old finding porn because they aren't going to watch infinity of it (unlike twelve-year-olds). My guess is that on opening such a website on accident they're going to think it's weird and gross and close it immediately and maybe, maybe ask their parents a few questions that the parents would prefer not to answer but should be equipped to anyway.
If politicians want to receive intelligence from a foreign intelligence agency, it would be rather unreasonable to expect that intelligence to be broadcasted. "Spy" is not a job description. Intelligence agents spy, diplomats spy, attaches spy. You sound like you'd expect politicians to essentially never talk to any foreign officials in private.
Everyone spies on each other. USA certainly does spy on many countries and attempts to influence their politicians. If your politicians are uniquely susceptible to "NLP", it's a skill issue. Vote for smarter ones.
From the perspective of someone who lives in a country that also started a war widely considered to be unjust recently and then also got mired in it:
I don't give a fuck. Treason shmeason, it's their job to fill the hole back up after digging themselves into it. I don't buy the noises on how the country is going to collapse as soon as we give an inch of whatever, it's all lies. The truth is that failure will hurt the politician class (the current ones at least, which I hate and want ruined) more than it could ever hurt regular people. Fuck them. And if it does hurt regular people, fuck the government stooges anyway. They're afraid of ruin more than we are.
Not that I can do anything actively with a reasonable chance to get away with it, but they don't get a mote of loyalty from me.
Even if you don't want to burn them all down, you should still proceed with an understanding that the elites will lie about the consequences of not going along with their shit.
It's all the money that goes into all the orgs that put up all these flags, organize all the marches, etc.
So, as long as the money is collectively raised in any way, it's artificial? I'm just trying to determine the actual boundaries of your definition of artificial.
You think this was put up by a small coffee shop?
No. I do think 10x less than that will still be disliked by those who want to dislike it. Hell, 100x less than that.

In my estimation, Russia (at the very least St. Petersburg, the capital of Russian artsy progressives) does not lack progwokes. And unlike Western progwokes who gassed themselves out on their victory lap, there's still a lot of winning for Russian progwokes.
What's "artificially propped up"? Sure, I'll agree that near-mandatory sensitivity consulting corporations are probably the central example of artificial propping-up. In the case of a manager of a small coffee shop deciding to put up rainbow flags during June, I wouldn't agree that it's artificial. There wouldn't be specific laws against "propagandizing the LGBT community" if no one really wanted to propagandize the LGBT community. As you say, just the lack of mandating the LGBT propaganda would be enough.
Yes. Hence me noting that the non-labor theory of value recognizes risk as valuable, but that within the labor theory of value, risk isn't labor.
