      My uncle and aunt have one for years, they’re also old and need someone to take care of the daily chores, and treat their housemaid good to the point she refused to go back to her country. Is it a redflag? Not sure about you, but it isn’t in my book.

      Oh, but is it not better to not have to do housework? If you could hire one, wouldn’t that be preferrable?

        We hired a maid to come clean once. I was so ashamed that I cleaned for 2 days before they came. I still feel gross. I’m so sorry lol

          Oh, that is sweet. I suppose I kind of get the reason why you did feel ashamed, but I do not think this way generally. I might feel pity for someone like that, but hardly guilt, since if they took the job out of self interest, it would be worse for them if I didn’t offer it. The only thing you can do to help them then is give them the money they want without making any demands of them, but all wage labour functions in such a way, that it offers a monetary reward for time and labour, it is hardly worse to work as a maid than to work in a factory. If you want to do charity, you do not have to fire your maid.

          I am not quite sure: did you feel guilty because you was uncomfortable with hiring another person to do your bidding, or because you thought it was excessive to hire them and so it is wrong because making someone work to fulfil such an unnecessary need is unethical?

          But I do not mean to say you were wrong to feel guilty about this. I am just sharing my thoughts on it, and I think that your sentiment was noble, in a way.

        If you have the wealth to afford a housemaid, then any way of spreading that wealth to others in a non-manipulative way is good.

          I see your point, but asking someone to value someone over themselves in such a way is a bit much. Charity to such a degree(giving away your money whenever you want to spend it on unnecessary labour/goods) is for saints.

          A lifestyle of bourgeois decadence is something that is difficult to refuse. Are you sure you would be able to?

    I vote red flag, since it’s sound like something I would do. (Definitely something I did in secondary school.)

    My sister found my Sims game where I was married to my neighbor (her friend). My character was a biker with a leather jacket and an American flag bandana.

    I had forgotten but now I must spend the next hour curled up in a ball, whimpering.

        That’s a fucking mood right there.

        (Also it depends on which Sims game and what the goal is. If they’re doing it in the Sims 3 or Sims 4 and trying to drown our Sims, then I’ll call them a scrub, tell them to gitgud and then block them. Unless there’s also a wall around the pool. Otherwise, 10/10)

        Edit: running a cult in the Sims is also a green flag.

    Gawd that reminds me I used to base my Sims off the names on the back of cd cases.

    Closet door suddenly opens and a full sized silicon sex doll resembling themselves falls out … voice activation turns on as the doll lies face down on the floor … “That’s it baby, let’s make more babies, that’s the stuff” … sex doll vibrates vigorously on the floor

    Which avatar is the most detailed and accurate?

    Mine - most likely to be left behind chained up in a basement.

    Theirs - most likely to be left behind at a cocktail party.

    The maid’s - most likely to be left behind in a threesome.

    • Well yeah, presumably for any given threesome, the pov is going to be two behinds at some point, but it doesn’t matter if you’re the left behind or the right behind or long as everybody’s enjoying themselves.

        Contrary to what you might expect, the left behind tends to get a bit more direct attention than the right, roughly 30% more time, independent on total duration. This is because for right handed people, the left is more awkward to engage with on the side, so making the left behind the main behind with the right behind by their right hand feels more natural and comfortable.
