“… Doesn’t that contribution count for something …” Not really – a paid-membership in essence entitles u to be able to read the reviews – too-many PLs on-here want the benefits of the info others put in the work/time to provide, but they don’t expect/want to put-in that same effort/time to provide info in return that the whole-board can subsequently benefit from. “… we shout down anyone who talks about extras in the review …” Not exactly – the TUSCL M.O. has traditionally been to describe what’s available but not tie/identify specific dancers to said-services

LOL – during yesterday’s interview Elon coined a phrase that I thought was pretty-funny but also pretty-spot-on. Elon was talking about the importance of employees being in the office vs only/mostly working-from-home – Elon made the point that these workers that only/mostly just wanna work from home, they still expect other people/workers to not work from home – i.e. these stay-at-home workers still expect Uber service; food delivery; restaurant workers; handymen; etc; to be available and all these people don’t have the option ”to work from home” yet the stay-at-home-workers feel they should be treated differently. Elon felt these “I only wanna work from home” people had a sense of entitlement and coined them “The Laptop Class” – LOL.

We need strippers in Congress - I think it would def help with "reaching" across the isle

Are dancers in all Cali clubs now employees vs ICs per the law that passed a couple of years ago? Has this impacted the Cali clubs or did they stay about the same?

I can also see this possibly quickly becoming the norm particularly in blue-states - this particular club may be opening the flood-gates. I can also see PLs possibly being accused of harassment for asking for extras or wanting too-much-touching. Let's see how it plays out.

A club where the dancers have a large say on how the club is ran ... what can go wrong? In a club like this I can see mileage going down if not way down and prices going up if not way up.

"... I haven't been following all of this new AI stuff. How did this get generated ..." I haven't used the AI tool/Software but I assume the user/reviewer uses the available online AI ChatGPT app and tells the tool/software to generate a review for him then he copies it to TUSCL

Another thing that shocks me is how young many of the top-engineers at Tesla and SpaceX are. Also in the interview Elon talks about how he and Larry Page, Co-Founder of Google, would stay up late into the night at Page's home talking tech but they are no longer on speaking terms (which makes one wonder about Elon' s motivation to take-on-and compete with everything Google does?).

Kinda blew my mind when in the interview Elon stated Tesla gets 3.6 million job-applicants per year while it only has 128K employees - Elon mentioned the acceptance-rate at Tesla is much-lower than at Harvard, or any elite University in the world 😮

Pretty-interesting 1-on-1 Musk interview post yesterday's shareholder event - interviewer did a pretty-good job of touching on multiple different subjects with Elon from Tesla to Tweeter etc: https://youtu.be/PYGdm845lc8

If one is has bern on TUSCL a week or 2, all it takes is reading some reviews to know the deal - I can see not having a clue if one has never had access to TUSCL, but o/w a lot of people just want every bit of info handed to them w/o doing any work themselves. e.g. countless times I see PLs come on here asking for info about a club or area they plan to visit - they get the info and never bother to write a review and give back to the site - i.e. lots of free-riders on this site not even counting all the ones writing fake reviews/articles to just freeload.

"... Did three more sets of two with multiple dancers for $20 each and called it a day ..." At both Cheetahs floor dances are supposed to be $10

Part of me wonders if this Trump constant harassment of one false accusation after another even to this day, if it’s being done on purpose perhaps *not* to keep Trump from running, but that Conservatives will be so pissed that they’ll vote for Trump out of anger/spite – many speculate that the Dems want Trump to be the nominee b/c they think/feel he is more beatable and much-more-easily vilified than DeSantis – many speculate that the Dems fear DeSantis much more than Trump and see DeSantis as a much more difficult opponent.

“… Rip “thread hide” feature …” Yes – it was a helpful feature IMO. The current-fallback is to put the person on Ignore if such threads/posts are so bothersome to the point where just simply scrolling past them and not reading them is not enough – using the Ignore feature will make both, threads and posts, made by that person invisible – it’s a coarse way to go about it and the Hide function was def more flexible but it’s an option never-the-less

It is “ironic” that during Trump’s presidency, Antifa and Black-Lives-Matter were constantly causing havoc for pretty-much all of Trump’s 4-years seemingly on a daily basis (e.g. the non-stop Antifa riots in Portland that went-on day after day including the constant attack on the Portland Federal courthouse) – all the while the Dems not only not condemning it, but basically cheering it on. Yet as soon as Biden took office; almost all of that went away in short-order and you barely hear a beep of Antifa/Black-Lives-Matter riots. Coincidence? I think not. These types of Antifa/Black-Lives-Matter riots are part of the basic playbook of destabilizing governments – which I’m sure our intelligence-agencies have plenty of experience doing overseas w.r.t. hostile-regimes – but in this case it seems to be that our Federal agencies have turned that playbook internally against their political opponents (Trump and anyone that supports him).

^ I assume “light ss” means light stick-shifting ... her playing w/ your stick OTP (over the pants)

^ "... not to mention the involvement of the FBI and CIA also running cover for Biden all along going-after Trump w/ fake made-up crimes ..." and the media also barely touches that and in some cases try to defend it.

Short video about the up to 20-shell-companies the Bidens had created most of which were during Biden's tenure as VP - seems no rhyme or reason for these companies except to create a complicated-web for the funneling of money from foreign nationals: https://youtu.be/9KMbbUgvNsE w.r.t. the fake "russian collusion" hoax; the media was on that relentlessly around-the-clock for months on end; many of them even receiving awards/Pulitzers "for their great reporting" (of a fake made-up story made-up solely to get Trump removed from office) - and now here you have one of the seemingly biggest stories of corruption likely in our history; and the media barely touches it and if they do it's often to again try to cover for Biden - not to mention the involvement of the FBI and CIA also running cover for Biden all along going-after Trump w/ fake made-up crimes.

^ could be that is how the club is officially/originally registered with the city or w/e paperwork the reporter looked at.

IRS Whistleblower’s Team Getting Kicked From Hunter Biden Probe, Lawyers Say The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent who alleges the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden has been corrupted by lies and politics is being pulled from the inquiry in a possible act of retaliation, lawyers for the IRS official say. These attorneys informed Congress on Monday that their client, identified as a criminal supervisory special agent, was told “that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress,” according to The New York Post. Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt, the lawyers for the IRS agent, said their client was “informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice.” They also said the “move is clearly retaliatory and may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry.” https://www.dailywire.com/news/irs-whistleblowers-team-getting-kicked-from-hunter-biden-probe-lawyers-say

"... But here is the deal with BMW. If you buy new from a BMW dealership, all maintenance for the first 3 years is paid for. No cost at all for oil, filters etc. So you get used to going to the dealership for servicing the vehicle. Then the 3 years is up. Then it costs $1000 for each oil change ..." Holy shit

I only became aware of Follies via TUSCL and mainly thanks to TUSCLer shadowcat regularly posting on the Discussion Board about his home-club Follies which he visited weekly - I sometimes wonder how many of us, especially out-of-town, TUSCLers, perhaps would have never gotten introduced to Follies if it wasn't for the G.O.A.T. @shadowcat getting the ball rolling

The crowds could def be a negative particularly at peak times (late week either late-afternoon or nighttime) - but it was still doable and in Follies' unique way the hoards of people in some ways added to the vibe kinda like a Mardi Gras party - and the large # of proactive-dancers willing-and-able to get down made one forget about the crowds and also not make it feel like a sausage-fest. And with time, one learned to hit the less crazy shifts and still have a good time.

Having said what I said in my previous post; Follies was the best bang-for-the-buck (figuratively and litteraly) of any of the 120+ clubs I've hit in my SCing-career - and it just had an anything goes non-pretentious vibe that made it a fun visit (almost like a damn sex resort LOL) - no one in there (staff; custies; dancers) pretended it was anything else other than what it was - none of that shit of dancers pretending to be offended when u asked for a particular service etc. It may not have been perfect but IMO it was one of a kind - not to mention great dancer variety for all tastes in large-part given the high # of dancers (everything from spinners to thicc to natural to enhanced from Latinas to ebonies to (at least early-on) whitegirls) - mileage was guaranteed (exceedingly rare to get an air-dance or low touch dance). In essence - large # of girls pretty-much 7-days-a-week Monday thru Sunday day ir night (it was a freaking T&A Emporium) - as high a mileage as anywhere - and great if not rock-bottom-prices. I'd say Follies perhaps was not a good-fit for those who mainly like, and mostly stick to, more-calm upscale clubs.

Follies was not a perfect club: + it was too small for the crowds and # of dancers + it was too damn smokey + drug selling and consumption in the open (dancers rolling up blunts at your table etc) + staff kicking custies out of tables to sell them to other custies (club was too small for that not to mention I assume staff was pocketing all that cash and thus their strong motivation for this practice) + it was a midtier-club at best; closer to dive than upscale - thus talent IMO was mostly 6s and 7s (IMO not atypical for heavy-extras dive-ish clubs) + parking was problematic - one had to give their keys up to staff since it was the only way cars could be squeezed in + not many private rooms for such a heavy-extras club - just 2 individual rooms with a weak-curtain for a door that anyone could open when u were in there and often did - a 3rd "VIP room" was a communal couch-room so one couldn't be shy (although a bit b/f the shutdown the communal VIP room was remodeled into separate individual private rooms which was a good upgrade)
