I Went To A Political Web Site To Talk About Strippers

Remember, this year the convention was virtual, so there were no private parties requiring whores paid for by super pacs.

I’m sure the comment boards on political sites would be overflowing with whore recommendations during a real convention.

Don’t tell me you tried MSNBC? Isn’t that more like grinder? I doubt they find female strippers interesting over there.

As far as I can tell, the political threads are in the politics forum. @Founder often starts political threads of his own, so apparently it's condoned by the owner. We're facing the most important election in generations which explains the interest. There's still plenty of opportunities to discuss your prostitution habits.

Founder, please move this thread to the political discussion room.

Kidding. Not really, but I am.

If there’s any logic to it - Pornhub should be another location for In depth political discussion.

the only things somewhat politically related that i would want to see on pornhub is sarah palin or maria baritomo getting splooged on the face from an intense blowjob.

Right. Let's talk about T and A

We need more threads like this one...

We need more open strip clubs to give us something to talk about!

I remember the good old days when TUSCL was a place to talk about strippers.

What Tetradon said.

A good business, like TUSCL, adapts to the times and gives customers what they want.

Strip clubs are closed. Big election coming up. Front Room is there for strip talk ( basically, guessing when things will open and CoVid talk ). Political Forum is there for those so inclined.

In January, if clubs are open and the election is over ( let’s hope ), TUSCL will return to mostly being about stripping.

Considering that there's a sugar baby first lady and a sugar baby VP (actually president?) candidate I don't think that would be out of place.

Political topics are in a separate discussion group.

Combo of election year + Covid shutting down too many of the clubs.

*yawn*

Founder should do whatever he wants; it's his business.

Five year olds always think things are the most important ever; just like old progressives.

You'll have to bookmark the Front Room so you can go there directly and not see the political posts cause everything in all the groups is seen together on the main page.

The First Lady isn’t a sugar baby.

She’s more of a gold digger - as she don’t mess with broke crackers...

I'll only comment about politics here if it is some way related to strip clubs. For example, I might talk about the government response to the Chinese bat soup flu epidemic because part of that response involves deciding whether or not strip clubs should be open and what is allowed in them if they are open.

In normal times I might bring up the subject of government paternalism as it relates to strip clubs. Local governments will sometimes try to heavily regulate or even shut down clubs. They do this in the name of protecting the strippers from sexual exploitation (though possible financial exploitation of male customers is never brought up). They do it for public health reasons to protect strippers and customers from sexually transmitted diseases. They do it for reasons saying it is immoral in some ethical or religious sense for the people involved and even that allowing it at all harms community moral standards. It would be worthwhile discussing to what extent the government should be involved in protecting customers and strippers from themselves and to what extent they have a right to make what others consider to be bad decisions. Also, how much allowing strip clubs to exist harms anyone else who never actually steps inside one.

At least TUSCL allows differing opinions to be exercised unlike most social media that choose what's "acceptable" based on the owners' personal views - all opinions are allowed on TUSCL and there are ways to get around the topics that do not interest a PL.

Founder should create a separate area of the website for political discussions so that if you don’t want to read them you don’t have to.

The best way to select different topics/groups is to have a way to enable/disable each group individually so one only sees the group(s) they want vs all-groups-at-once or only one-by-one

I have yet to see a mostly healthy political discussion on here, on the rare occasion I do peek in the threads. (Lately, it's been hard because it's been the bulk of new discussions shown on the main page) It's usually a stated opinion, followed by a mix of comments that agree or disagree... then it quickly escalates to flamewars and lowballing between the legit discussers and some troll accounts.

It makes me wonder if people here really want the freedom to share opinions without repercussions or if some just want an excuse to shout every bad omen in human history at those that oppose said opinions.

Convos on politics, religion, race, etc, are usually gonna go sideways sooner than later - it's not a TUSCL thing, it's a society thing - thus best to avoid such convos if one does not want to get worked-up

We are a bunch of old dudes. What else do you expect us to talk about endlessly - other than politics?

It is unfortunate that there is so little (current) SC topics to talk about.

I'm surprised you survived talking about strippers on a political site. Usually the people running those sites would crucify anyone supporting "immoral behavior" like strip clubs.

Not just little ole' TUSCL but big, bad Microsoft gets these posts:

Jul 13, 2020 "Windows 10's Feedback Hub: A forum for political trolls, spammers"

"When Microsoft made the Feedback Hub universal app available to Windows 10 Insiders in March 2016 ... the plan was for the app to be the perfect tool for users to report issues and share suggestions on how to improve Windows experience for all customers.

However, as reported by users over the weekend and as BleepingComputer was able to confirm, the Windows 10 Feedback Hub is also now being used as a spam platform and a forum by political trolls.

Lack of moderation leads to a spam fest

Even though customers have been complaining increasingly often of Microsoft's delay in reading and addressing their reports, the platform's use for spamming and as a political forum with no intervention from Redmond's employees comes to show that the Feedback Hub either lacks the appropriate moderation tools or really suffers from a lack of attention from Microsoft."

You know, the bright side is we don’t have SJG bumping his computer programming threads lol.

Lol - politics on this site is a weird new phenomenon. We have a lot in common to discuss. Why post political opinions that aren’t common points of interest?
Recently it became ok to foist political opinions on those who don’t care about it. It’s boring and impolite, if not down right obnoxious. I have very strong political opinions and being lectured by others who I assume aren’t smarter or more informed than me is annoying.

I ask relatives who try to talks politics with me “Do you understand how annoying it is for someone I my intelligence to be told how to think by someone like you?
That usually ends the political talk.

“We are a bunch of old dudes. What else do you expect us to talk about endlessly - other than politics?”

Our aches, pains, and health problems ! Let’s start a new forum.

“Recently it became ok to foist political opinions on those who don’t care“

Methinks you aren’t using the term foist correctly. Unless someone is pointing a gun to your head and forcing you to click the Politics Forum.

@mark, a Health & Wellness group?
