Jenni Lee found in Vegas tunnels!

Well aren't you all a bunch of prolific onanists. I have no idea who she is.

But yes, the US is a disgusting country when it comes to a lack of care / safety net for the less fortunate (and I have lived there). Many things I like about it, but far more I do not.

You think that's bad? Have a Google about those living in the sewers under Bucharest. :eek:

Those are gypsies though, kind of expected behaviour, give them above ground government funded property and soon enough they'll trash it to the point where the living conditions won't be much different either :D


With Vegas you've got absolute extremes, some of the richest people in the world just throwing money away in high roller rooms, some individual chips worth as much as the average car, some worth as much as the average apartment and more... then you have people who've hit rock bottom for various reasons, living in storm drains...

It can't be a well paid profession for most. I mean how much do they get per film?

Less than they used to. Free online porn sites and a surfeit of performers have greatly reduced the amount of money performers make. Could be no more than a few hundred dollars per scene and they don't get anything at all from the free porn sites. Performers were making more money from porn in the past. Even the big names now make less than the big names from the past. Marilyn Chambers comes to mind. She was a good negotiator and got a royalty deal on the gross take that made her millions in the 70s. Wouldn't get that nowadays.

I can't see how anyone can make a living out of making porn video's now with so much free porn available on the internet...
Why would anyone pay to see porn video's these days :confused:

What a sad story :( Homelessness is something that really bothers me - I wish it on nobody...

When I first got to Canada, I stayed in a Hostel on Granville Street, and the homeless problem there really shook me up the wrong way. So many desperate people that just need help.

It's pretty clear from the video she has a meth issue (at least) - It comes across that she doesn't trust anyone else but the other people that are living down there with her.
 
Can't she just make a career as a ex-celebrity prostitute? not exactly a huge step from p0rn is it. To end up homeless in Vegas I would suspect she has gambling problems and can't manage money.
 
something magical about Vegas

Sure but magic isnt real and some people cant handle the realities and end up worse even if we were only to consider the gambling and bright lights, some do get lost.

For living in a tunnel she could be far worse off, nobody gets to stick with their 20 year old selves or we'd live forever. I can still recognise she has similar looks, hardly hard done by compared to poor of nations which are not 1st world. Just a bad recession creates many situations like this, any money earnt short term has to be saved properly true for everyone really https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/...d-states-for-every-1-increase-in-unemployment
 
I always have a good laugh when I read people’s opinions on something they have no clue of, and yet are deeply opinionated. Addiction in particular.

It is by no means a simple issue. People don’t decide one day “Hmmm, I feel like being addicted to a devastating habit that will ruin my life, leaving me penniless and alone... sounds swell!”.

There are many economic and personal factors at play; people don’t get the help they need before they make bad decisions. The psychological support offered by the NHS is, unfortunately, woefully inadequate.

To enter the spiral of addiction you have to be in a pretty dark place, it catches up with people while they still believe they’re just having a bit of fun. By the time they realise they’re in a terrible position, it’s often far too late. Once you’re there, the willpower and effort required to get out is unimaginably great, and required when someone is at their lowest ebb.

If you’re thinking ‘it’s simple, just don’t do it’, then you’re both very ignorant, and far more privileged (and I hate how that word is used these days) than you realise. Be grateful you don’t understand how easily someone’s life, and their addiction, can spiral out of control.

Nono, everybody knows that to overcome addiction you simply decide you no longer want to be addicted and live happily ever after.

Love Mr Bald's videos. Such a likeable guy and not afraid to approach anyone. Alina is just the icing on the cake.

Yeah I've been watching him for a little while, he seems to have become very popular now, very interesting videos and unlike some of the other travel vlogger types he's very likeable.

He seems to have deleted his video where he and another vlogger try to swim across to an expensive hotel in India, that was hilarious - there is footage on the other guy's channel but Ben/Mr Bald seems to have removed it from his.

The majority of porn stars earn their income from private clients. Porn is them just getting paid to advertise and promote themselves and makes up a tiny percentage of their yearly income.
