"... I saw that and thought it was a scam ..." Yeah - part of me was thinking they've might've perhaps been embellishing a bit bc it was a feel-good-story - if it can't be proven it was a scam then u know there's already a movie-in-the-works

^ LOL

“… Periodically, they do a 2-4-1 dance special, although these seem to be much less frequent than in times past. I was there about an hour an a half to two hours and there was only one called just as I was leaving. The girls used to also circulate when those were called, in an effort to sell the special. That doesn't seem to happen anymore either, half the girls ran to the back to hide when the special was announced …” I haven’t visited this place since 2021 but the various times I visited in 2021 I also noticed most girls not circulating asking for dances when the special was called and a number of them heading to the dressing-room instead. “… It used to be more girls were down for whatever in the dance booths, as long as it took at least 3-4 songs and you gave em a decent tip at the end. On this visit, the girls all wanted to negotiate up front and all seemed really bad at it. They couldn't decide if their numbers included the per-song dance fees or not and when asked if they did they tried to change their numbers on the fly, resulting in prices from $80 including the songs to $400 + …” I stopped asking dancers for prices a longtime-ago – IMO/IME that often opens you up to getting overcharged/overquoted since the dancer will often think you’re asking b/c you don’t know any-better – in a club where I’m familiar w/ the going-rates/proper-rates; I make the offer vs asking the dancer for hers – I say something along the lines of “you wanna do X for $Y” – although not foolproof IME it has worked-out better as long as I’m in the “going-rate for the club” range – in this club the dancers have to give the club $5 out of every song/dance they do; so I take that into account w.r.t. my offer – when I used to visit this club more-often pre-Covid a typical quote/offer from me for extras would be something along the lines of 3-songs-for-$140 (where she keeps $125 after she has to give the house $5 for the 3-songs); or 4-songs for $140 where she would keep $120 after she gives the house their $20-cut for the 4-songs (I wouldn’t offer either/or; I’d make one of the 2-offers, and these offers were *not* w/ dances on top but all-in; pre-Covid these offers almost-always worked out-for-me). This club was never “great” and more of a niche; but I did notice it get worse post-Covid in terms of ROI (ROI was kinda the main-saving-grace of this club in the years prior-to-Covid) – post-Covid I also noticed dance-specials being much-less-frequent – and another thing that bothered me is that the songs were not played that long (given the quality of this club; it’d help if songs were on the longer-end vs shorter-end). Per my 2021 visits; the club was heading in the wrong-direction – seems it’s still going in that direction which IMO they can ill-afford given it wasn’t that great to begin with – perhaps whomever is running-it now is not as good as whomever was running in years past? [I think this club is owned by the people that own Diamond Dolls Pompano (which in a way makes sense given they both use pretty-identical dance-booths setups) – coincidently neither club seems to be as good as pre-Covid]

It’s my birthday – can I get a free-dance? [LOL I actually read this somewhere a few years back about some broke mofo in a club; can’t recall if I read it on TUSCL or StripperWeb]

"Trans-Identifying Man To Compete In Miss California Pageant" A man who was crowned “Miss San Francisco” will compete in the 2023 Miss California Pageant in July. Monroe Lace, a man who identifies as a woman, won the Miss San Francisco pageant in March, qualifying the “beauty queen” to compete for the Miss California title next month. Lace is the first trans-identifying man to be crowned Miss San Francisco in the competition’s 99-year history. “Every time I put on the sash, the weight of it reminds me of the weight of my job; of the responsibility I have to make a difference for young children,” Lace told CBS Bay Area. Lace, 25, visits a different elementary school almost every day. In a video shown by the local CBS affiliate, Lace can be seen reading “Sparkle Boy,” a picture book about a boy who wants to wear women’s clothing, to a 4th-grade class at Tenderloin Community School. The trans-identifying man told KRON 4 in March that he was “dreaming about this since I was 12 years old” and ran away from home. In 2021, Kataluna Enriquez, another man identifying as a woman, competed in the Miss USA pageant as Miss Nevada. Lace seeks to be the second trans-identifying man to compete at the national competition. Another man competed in the Miss New Hampshire competition after being crowned “Miss Greater Derry” last November. The Miss San Francisco winner claims to have received death threats and “mean comments about my appearance or the way I look.” Despite this, Lace is undeterred from his child-focused mission, saying that he “know[s] that there’s a trans kid out there … who is reading [Lace’s] story as well.” CBS interviewed one 4th grader, who described Lace’s appearance as “beautiful” and “normal.” The push for men to compete in women’s competitions has become an intense cultural and political question, prompting GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley to label the issue “the women’s issue of our time.” Female athletes like Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlon have spoken out against men in women’s sports, particularly concerning male swimmer Lia Thomas. Recently, ESPN commentator Samantha Ponder broke with her company’s orthodoxy to speak out against men competing in women’s sports. Last year, a federal court ruled that Miss USA, whose winner competes for the Miss Universe title and is a separate organization from Miss America, could keep its “natural born female” policy under the First Amendment’s Free Speech clause. https://www.dailywire.com/news/trans-identifying-man-to-compete-in-miss-california-pageant

"Tucker Carlson Returns With New Show: ‘Tucker On Twitter’" Tucker Carlson inaugurated the return of his popular show on Tuesday, dropping the first episode of “Tucker on Twitter” after being taken off the air at Fox News in April. Carlson is still reportedly negotiating his exit with Fox News, where he led ratings with his primetime show “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” The network took him off the air suddenly after his last show on April 21, but he promised to bring it back in some form on Twitter Carlson went after the media and high-profile figures for accepting certain narratives as true without due scrutiny. “Not only are the media not interested in any of this, they are actively hostile to anybody who is. In journalism, curiosity is the gravest crime,” Carlson said. Carlson’s new show will challenge the orthodoxies in the media, he said, and he plans to keep the show on Twitter as long as it remains a platform committed to free speech. “As of today, we’ve come to Twitter, which we hope will be the short-wave radio under the blankets. We’re told there are no gatekeepers here. If that turns out to be false, we’ll leave. But in the meantime, we are grateful to be here,” Carlson said. https://www.dailywire.com/news/tucker-carlson-returns-with-new-show-tucker-on-twitter

I’m very active on TUSCL

@whodey’s post reminds me of a visit about 5-years-ago to one of my local Miami-black-dives – it was one of my typical late-afternoon-visits which was mostly my go-to time-block for visiting these small-black-dives since IMO/IME that time-block usually offered the best ROI for these type of clubs. Anyway – as I’m approaching the door I see 2 young(ish) (20 – 22 ?) ebonies in street-clothes talking outside – I didn’t really pay much attention to them besides just noticing they were there. I enter the club and 30-seconds after sitting-down at the bar one of the 2-ebonies I had seen outside approaches me and asks me if I wanna go get a hotel-room w/ her and her friend (just like that - no "hello what's your name/etc"). I said no b/c: a) although I found them cute; young/girlish looking women are not really my thing as I’m naturally more attracted to the womanly (vs girlish) look b) again they were cute – but their girlish-look meant they were not well-endowed; w/ the latter being my strong pref; thus it wasn’t that hard to turn them down w/o thinking about it too-much [now that I think about it – perhaps they might have been younger than 21; maybe in their late-teens and perhaps too-young to-dance in the club but were still trying to make some money and perhaps why they were hanging outside the club in street-clothes? Originally I thought they were off-duty dancers but perhaps they were just too-young to dance - IDK] c) another reason I declined their offer is b/c I’m not much of an OTC guy - thus being proposed like that out-of-the-blue by someone I hadn’t even had a chance to get to know at all was not something I was inherently comfortable with

The summer-season/recent-grad dancer-influx is not something that consciously crossed-my-PL-mind before; but I guess it makes sense. This thread reminds me of when I used to live and SC in Dallas in the 2000s – the thread reminds me of a young (21 or 22?) light-skinned/mixed dancer I met at Baby Dolls Dallas in the 2000s – if I recall she was of Panamanian-descent (but likely either born, or raised, in the U.S.; she spoke perfect-English w/ no accent) – she had very-light-brown-skin w/ white-looking facial-features – she was slim but not skinny – and had one of the most-perfect-pair of natural-tits I recall seeing – they were shaped like 2 lightbulbs – perfectly-shaped and full w/ zero-zag; probably C-cups. I met her one summer at Baby Dolls Dallas – she told me she was on-break from school at Sam Houston State (in Huntsville, TX which is about 70-miles north of Houston and about 170-miles south of Dallas) – Houston has always had a pretty-vibrant SC-scene so IDK why she chose to come to Dallas to dance instead of Houston – I didn’t ask her but I assume it could have been: a) she was from the Houston area and didn’t wanna dance close to home or close to where she was going to school? b) perhaps she was actually from the Dallas area but was going to school nearer to Houston? c) she just liked Baby Dolls better given it’s one of the better-known clubs around the country?

No-body likes the hard-sales-pitch – I think most people’s reaction is to walk-away whether it’s a strip-club or a different type of biz – but; one would assume most-clubs are filled w/ noob/inexperienced custies and one would assume a certain % of those are vulnerable to such tactics – different clubs have different M.O.s and/or different dancers have different tactics – one would assume the door-vulture-technique has a certain-level of success; just how high a success-rate … hard to know as there are probably different variables at work (type of club; etc).

I guess we can look-forward to higher-gas-prices for the summer/vacation/road-tripping season

“… I plan on dying on a Wednesday night so that my wife can utilize trash day, stuff me in 2-3 bags and put me out at the curb with the recycling bin. Live forever or die tonight; don't give a damn either way …” Finally – reading thru the thread I was hoping for an uplifting POV!

This is why I don’t mind; and w/ time have grown to prefer; frontdoor patdowns – sure it may not keep you safe once u leave the club’s doors, but it does increase to some-extent the level of SCing-safety – and why I somewhat-cringe when I read reviews and PLs openly-state “… there was no patdown at the door …” or “… got a light patdown at the door …” – IMO probably not a good-idea to be advertising that info just in case – better to not say anything than say “no/light patdown …” and be putting that out there.

The Left’s Intimidation Tactics "Girl, Father Punished For ‘Misgendering’ Boy In Girl’s Locker Room Score Legal Victory" A teen girl and her father, who were punished for “misgendering” a biological boy in the girl’s locker room, recently scored a victory in court. Blake Allen, a 15-year-old student-athlete, was suspended last year for speaking out about being made uncomfortable by the male student allowed in the girl’s volleyball locker room. The male student identifies as transgender. Allen, then 14 years old, was accused of harassing the male student after expressing her unhappiness to a fellow classmate. The girl’s father, Travis Allen, was subsequently fired from his position as a middle school soccer coach for defending his daughter and “misgendering” the trans student. The Allens filed suit against school officials following the incidents. A recent settlement in the case awards a $125,000 payment to the Allens and their attorneys, legal group Alliance Defending Freedom. It also calls for the reinstatement of Mr. Allen as soccer coach and scrubs the pair’s records of any reference to the discipline, reported the White River Valley Herald. Phil Sechler, senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, said the win was a “resounding victory for freedom of speech.” “We are grateful that the school recognized it was wrong to suspend Blake from school and Travis from his coaching position simply for exercising their freedom of speech,” Sechler said. “No one should lose their job or get suspended from school for voicing their opinion or calling a male a male and we are glad to see this case resolved favorably, not only for Blake and Travis, but for all students and coaches to be able to speak freely and without fear of retaliation.” Mr. Allen, likewise, called the win “a huge victory for freedom of speech,” for him and his daughter and “anyone who wants to voice their opinion on important topics.” “Certainly, the victory for everyone to speak freely is the most important achievement with this lawsuit. It was worth it,” he said. “This has taken a toll on our family, both close and distant. It showed us who will and won’t support us even if they do not agree with our values,” he continued. “Blake’s punishment would not have been reversed had we not filed the lawsuit and I wouldn’t be able to coach in the fall if we had not reached the settlement.” “I wouldn’t change anything,” Mr. Allen said. “We currently live in a time where you have to defend your values from some pretty radical ideologies.” The teen recently spoke about the victory to attorney John Klar. She said she was happy she stood up for what was “right,” but noted some of the hardships she endured. For example, Allen recalled some of her fellow volleyball players being upset with her after she spoke to the media about the incident and her punishment. The case has indeed sparked much media attention. On Saturday, Twitter CEO Elon Musk remarked on the actions school officials took against the Allens, calling them “incredibly unjust.” The superintendent of the Orange Southwest Supervisory District, Layne Millington, has downplayed the settlement, emphasizing that the school will continue with its policies. “The Vermont School Boards Insurance Trust made the decision concerning the payment in order to cap defense expenses in what would otherwise be years of litigation,” Millington said. “The district has made no admission of wrongdoing. Our policies are unchanged and we will continue to comply with our policies and the law.” https://www.dailywire.com/news/girl-father-punished-for-misgendering-boy-in-girls-locker-room-score-legal-victory

"Texts Show Teachers Union Working With CDC Director To Keep Schools Closed" Newly obtained text messages show the heads of both major teachers unions personally texting then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky as the agency was putting together a scientific analysis of reopening schools during coronavirus — with the CDC making a key change that allowed schools to stay closed and appeased the unions. On February 11, 2021, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten texted Walensky saying that she had heard a “leak” from The New York Times about what was in the CDC’s upcoming guidance, and expressed concern that it was “at odds with [their] discussion.” “They are running with a full speed ahead angle” for reopening schools, Weingarten wrote. She said the Times sent her a copy of the internal draft guidance that said, “At any level of community transmission, all schools can provide in-person instruction.” “Hmmm. Argh,” Walensky wrote to the union honcho. The next day, Walensky’s agency released guidance that was different. It said, “All schools have options to provide in-person instruction.” That allowed school districts to stay closed while still saying they were following CDC guidelines. “Middle and high schools in virtual only instruction unless they can strictly implement all mitigation strategies and have few cases,” it added. Weingarten’s union then put out a statement praising the guidance, and texted the document directly to Walensky with the message, “Thank you.” Walensky responded glowingly, saying, “This gave me the biggest smile of my week. Thank YOU, Friend!” Weingarten then gently chided the CDC director for not going further to push stricter guidelines that would keep schools closed, saying “:) we will fuss a little on ventilation but I am so grateful.” Walensky said, “Me too. Totally fair!” The text messages were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request from the Fairfax Parents Association, a group of parents who fought to end extended school closures in a Democrat-controlled Virginia district. The messages also show the president of the other major teachers union, the National Education Association’s Becky Pringle, texting directly with the head of the agency and appearing to invoke “diversity” as an argument to keep schools closed. “Just got off the phone with your folks. I appreciate them making themselves available. But I’m very concerned about timing and our ability to get the information I talked with you re: evidence gathered in more diverse settings,” she wrote. The influence by a major Democrat constituency on science guidance raises concerns because Americans were told to “trust the science.” As it has become undeniable that school closures did more harm than good, teachers unions have since tried to rewrite history and claim they were in favor of reopening schools, even though a long trail of documents show that they consistently fought to “reopen schools safely,” with their focus being on ensuring that the definition of “safely” would mean a very high barrier to opening. Weingarten testified defiantly to Congress in April and blasted Republicans while saying the Biden administration reached out to her union for its input and that the union suggested “ideas” to the science agency. A Daily Wire analysis found that states that engaged in prolonged school closures didn’t have fewer children die with COVID than those that kept schools open. https://www.dailywire.com/news/texts-show-teachers-union-working-with-cdc-director-to-keep-schools-closed

I guess that is the Haitian version of "tough love"

^ never mind - I looked it up and Google says: "... a less vulgar way of saying hoe or skank. Type 304 in a calculator and it spells hoe if you look at it upside down ..."

What's a "304"?

^ from what I've heard it's a similar thing with Joe Rogan

@lg Right/Conservatives is generally attributed to Republicans Left/Liberals is generally attributed to Democrats

I guess I was born to be a Rightie which probably explains why my right testicles is bigger than my left one

^ fuck you Leftie 😁

In my simple-mind a possible "remedy" (not solution) is smaller government. The U S. has a $20+ trillion GDP - - and with that a huge bloated government with a lot of control over those $20+ trillion - at best government inefficiency creates a huge waste of money and resources - at worst you have a whole bunch of grifter$ looking to enrich themselves via the bloated-government instead of trying to serve the country.

On the Right there are many that speak out of both sides of their mouths - behind the scenes many in the Right are sold-out to corporate-interest$; and many specifically have/are making insane-fortune$ doing business in China which to different levels undermine the U.S. and the rest if the free-world

Agree. There are forces at work here pulling in each direction primarily for power and secondarily for big-time-$$$ - and the avg citizen gets stuck in the middle usually non-the wiser w.r.t. the players behind the scenes pulling the strings - even many of the recruited foot-soldiers ( Antifa etc) don't really know they're being used by those seeking power that use young idealistic people as a means to their end - it's been repeated throughout the world and throughout time.
