How did this turn into a conversation about hookers?

Emotional profit.

That's by definition symptom of a mental illness. Maybe we can call it "sadism" or something.


Sure, but it’s still profiting, emotionally, from the act of killing.

Emotional satisfaction. They trade 100 euros for something they value at 200 euros - emotional satisfaction. This is called emotional profit.

Or we can say they are irrational. Sex is worth fucking nothing. Paying 100 euros for it is irrational.

Of course humans are so irrational that male ones will do anything and everything for sex..just like male praying mantises...

How about if you buy a video game you enjoy playing for 35 euros, but you get 70 euros of emotional satisfaction out of it?

I write programs so I know that buying a video game or video game currencies for 35 bucks is irrational.

Folks addicted to video games really need to learn programming. Then they will realize how worthless in-game purchases game companies sell them actually are.

Which is why Estanglia’s post stands. Profit from killing has many faces. Some do it for money, others for twisted enjoyment.

Towards what end? Money is useless in and of itself, it must be employed towards something. Likewise, with a goal, if the goal itself is the end, then it must bring joy to be worthwhile. If the accomplishment of the goal is the cause and the goal is irrelevant, that too, brings joy.

It's funny that this thread is talking about hooker prices now. When I first read the title I thought it said "65 Mosque strippers" instead of "Mosque worshipper 65"
