Rawhide, what about other crimes where the evidence is based solely on what was caught on camera? Why can't the "accuser" be the person that reviews the violation on the camera? Do you not think any of these scenarios should be prosecuted? A group of teenagers breaks into the local high school and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage and the only thing connecting them to the crime is surveillance footage of them in the act. A drug addict breaks into a home when the owners are on vacation and steals jewelry, cash and guns from the home. No forensic evidence or any of the stolen property is found but he is seen on both the home owner's and neighbor's security cameras breaking in and leaving with the items. A fast food cashier steals money while working the register but nobody sees them doing it until the manager sees it on the security tape the next day. A pedophile comes in an unlocked window in the middle of the night and kidnaps a young child. The child or any forensic evidence is never recovered but he is seen shoving the kid into his car on the security camera of a business down the block. Obviously running a red light, speeding, etc aren't as bad as any of those, but if we say a violation caught on camera isn't enough to prosecute that is a dangerous precedent to set.

Got hit with one in a tiny village close to home about 8-10 years ago for rolling through the only stop sign in town while making a right turn at 1am with no other cars visible in any direction. I should've known better because I had heard people complaining about that camera for a while, luckily is was under $100 through mayor's court. Since then not only was the camera taken down after a lawsuit, but the residents voted to disband the village government. Most traffic cameras for speeding etc I don't like because it is just government trying to be sneaky and save money by having fewer cops on traffic patrol. However, in the case of school busses I support it 100%. They aren't hiding anything since it is a giant yellow bus with bright flashing lights and a big red stop sign. If you ignore that and recklessly endanger kids lives the least you deserve is a hefty fine. Hell, in my opinion that should be treated just as harshly as a DUI since it is just as dangerous. As for the OP, in most if not all states you still have to stop if you are going in the opposite direction unless it is a divided roadway of some sort or more than 4 lanes. The idea is that in a lot of places kids have to cross the street when getting on/off the bus.

I wouldn't do away with the rule entirely, maybe just modify it. Instead of adding an additional 30 days for repeated reviews make it 30 days since the most recent review. That way if someone does 3 reviews of the same club within 15 days like the OP here did they would get 30 days from the last review which would give him 45 days total in this case. Of course I don't know how much work that would be, especially to get it to work properly if they review a different club in the same period. If it is a lot of work just leave it as is since I'm sure you have other priorities you are working on.

Like CMI said, you wrote 3 reviews of the same club within a few weeks as well as one review of a different club back in June. That means you would've gotten a total of 60 days of vip (30 for each club) from that first review on June 16th so it would've run out on August 15th. I believe you have to wait 30 days before another review for the same club would gain you any credit.

I imagine there are quite a few illegal immigrants working in strip clubs, particularly in cities that don't require licenses for dancers. I also imagine some clubs would shy away from hiring illegal immigrants for one major reason. It would be easy for them to be accused of human trafficking if they are found to be employing illegal immigrants as sex workers even if it is a completely clean non-extras club. Being accused of human trafficking is a death knell for any business.

No more wars? LOL All it would take is the woman running one country to insult the outfit of the woman running another country while it is her "time of the month" and suddenly all the slaves would be sent to the battlefield. Of course we know women do make more natural politicians since they lie so naturally.

The UAW tactics this time seem a little odd to me. First off they are trying to negotiate with the Big 3 all at once for the same contract. That seems like it could raise some issues with federal regulators along the same lines as an anti-trust issue. Secondly, it seems odd to choose one specific factory at each of the 3 companies to go on strike. Sure they chose plants that assemble very profitable mid-sized trucks, but why go with just a partial strike instead of a full on strike. It has me wondering if the UAW is lacking in either member support or funds for a full strike. Given the size of the UAW and the amount they take out of each paycheck from their members I assume money wouldn't be the issue unless there has been some mismanagement of the funds which is entirely possible. Either way, in my mind the times of large unions has passed for most industries and I imagine it will be coming to an end soon for autoworkers as well. Between automation of assembly lines, offshore production and non-union competitors like Toyota and Tesla it is becoming harder for automakers to justify negotiating with unions. The UAW has already shrunk from more than 1.5 million active members working in the late 70s to less than 400,000 active members working today. Nearly a quarter of those aren't autoworkers like the "academic workers" from the UAW that lead that big strike at the University of California last year.

Family - my parents are getting to the age that their health is quickly declining. I am trying to get them to move near here since my brother and sister both live within about 15 miles so we would all be nearby if something comes up. If we can't convince them to move to this area I may have to move down to central Kentucky to help care for them since my job is remote and I don't have kids unlike my brother and sister.

Haven't been to the Hugger in about a year so I can't recommend specific dancers. It is generally worth going in the afternoon but it gets more crowded in the evening. Why would this have to be your last trip to a strip club just because you are getting married? Probably at least 50% of strip club customers are married. You clearly don't see it as cheating if you are going while engaged so why would that change once you get married?

Never had a stripper stolen from me. Of course I'm not into human trafficking or slavery so I've never owned a stripper for anyone to steal.

Get rid of the clown makeup and I'd smash her.

In the nude clubs I go to it depends on how the crowd is tipping. If the tip rail is full of guys giving a few bucks a piece they tend to get naked most of the time. If the rail is empty and no one is tipping they don't get naked and some don't even go topless at that point. If there is just one or two guys tipping the girls seem to just flash those guys the goods up close as a thank you. Honestly I don't blame the girls, why should they get naked for a bunch of guys that aren't paying? I get that it is a way to advertise for dances but I don't know how well that actually works. I can't think of a single time that I made my choice of who to get dances from based on whether or not they took their g-string off on stage when not getting tipped. Now if I am planning to take a girl for dances and she didn't get naked on stage I will confirm with her that her dances are fully nude before going back.

I'll make sure to mix up some margaritas in his honor for the cookout this weekend.

Yeah the Louisville clubs are a little awkward to find on here since @founder did his last redesign but I'm sure getting the listing organized better is on his to-do list so just be patient. For now the clubs are listed in either Louisville or Shively (a suburb of Louisville) Kentucky or New Albany Indiana for the one club right across the river. Yes Louisville lost several (about 8-10) clubs over the past few years but from what I can tell they have all been updated as out of business on here and those listed as open on here are in fact still in business. Most of the clubs used to be open during the day prior to covid but most are basically only night shift now do to lack of customers and dancers during the day.

No point in telling her what the pissed off wannabe said, there is zero possible upside to that. As for how to respond to her, something like "I'd rather catch a disease from that sexy girl than have a fat ass bitch like you on my lap" would do the job.

It would be nice, but I can see why a lot of girls wouldn't want their pic (even without their face) on a club's website or social media. None of the clubs I frequent go that far, but several of them do either type up a list of who is working or post a quick pic of the marker board showing the current lineup each shift. That gives the regulars a good idea of who is there and for those that don't know the names at least they can see if there are a couple of dozen girls working or just 3 girls there to help decide if it is worth going.

Miracle they survived looking at that video.

If you haven't seen them since before Covid chances are they have left the profession. Stripper years are kind of like dog years so being gone for 3 years for a stripper is like being gone 21 years from a normal job.

Remember to control the pet population and have your pet's spayed or neutered.

I can't name a single region of the world (except probably Antarctica) that hasn't produced at least a few great strippers. That means they have produced something very valuable in my opinion.

Things like this are why I don't mention names in connection to extras even in PMs. I'm not worried about LEOs going after a club or dancers. I am worried about significant others, former significant others or stalkerish wanna be significant others using the info against her. Best case scenario in a situation like this where a husband reaches out and you confirm what she did with you for money he confronts her and they get past it. More likely it is the final straw that ends up ending a relationship. Worst case scenario you see her on the 11 o'clock news in a story about her being killed in a domestic violence situation. No matter which of those ways that it goes I don't want to be involved with it. It's a free country so any PL is free to say whatever they want to whomever they want, just be aware there could be consequences for a dancer that you had a good time with just because you couldn't keep your mouth shut. Also, karma's a bitch so don't get upset if a dancer tells anybody else about what you do in the club.

Pretty common at higher end clubs but I prefer dive clubs to mid tier clubs so it doesn't happen much where I club.

As I was walking into one of my favorite clubs a couple of dancers I knew were walking out together. They said they were leaving because the day shift bouncer had gone home sick and they didn't feel safe working without a bouncer. I asked if they were interested and making some money with a private show since they were missing work. The one that I had done extras with ITC looked interested but the other quickly snapped back at me saying that I had done vip with both of them so I should know they didn't do anything inappropriate like that and grabbed her friend's hand and stormed off in a huff. If I would've had the one girl's number I would've texted her to follow up but since I had only done ITC with her a couple of times I never bothered to ask for her number. I get why they wouldn't want to dance without any security in the club, but I don't think it would've been an issue at that club. There was usually only one bouncer on duty unless it was busy on a Friday or Saturday night or when one of the big conventions were in town. I rarely saw them do anything other than sit at the endnof the bar with their yellow security shirt or occasionally playing pool with a dancer or customer. In the 10+ years I've gone to that club I have never seen them need to do anything with a customer or dancer who was out of line and I've maybe seen a dancer ask them to walk them out to their car less than a dozen times. I guess the fact that they are there is enough to make the girls feel safer.

I usually see house moms around here as former dancers that have reached the age that they can no longer make enough money from their looks to get by so they move into that role instead. Unless nicespice has gone downhill quickly since the last time she was able to post a pic of herself on here I doubt that has happened. I suppose there are probably some girls that just get so fed up with the BS from us PLs that they want to quit dancing and move into more of a managemnt/training role as a house mom instead of leaving the business all together and I'm sure nicespice would do well in that scenario.

I don't feel bad for anyone that bought into real estate as an investor and did so with a mortgage. Anyone willing to take on debt to make a real estate investment is just as bad as someone that uses credit to buy stocks. It is a terrible idea to take on debt and interest on an investment that may not give you enough return to cover the initial investment let alone the interest. As for people who bought a house to live in, yes they will likely lose some equity if the housing market goes down - yes. How much they lose will depend on the location since some areas are much more overvalued right now than others. If they made a logical purchase that was within their means and at a reasonable price based on historical values in the area rather than the inflated values being realized during the bubble they shouldn't lose much. If they bought into an overpriced home that was in an area with a huge bubble that wasn't a smart purchase and now they are going to pay for it. Even in that scenario it probably wasn't that bad of an investment if you look at it as a whole rather than just the sales price. As long as your loss on the sale of the home is less than the total it would have cost you to rent a similar home in the same area for the entire time you owned the house you are still better off for having bought the house than if you were renting for that period of time. As long as you weren't trying to quickly flip the house and you actually lived in it for several years you should be ahead, especially considering that rent has gone up even faster than home prices in many areas. For instance, if you bought a 3 bedroom house for $250k 10 years ago and you sell it for $200k now you would still be better off even factoring in interest on the mortgage than paying $1,000+ per month to rent a house for those 10 years and being out $120k+ in rent with zero equity. Worst case, if you are underwater on the mortgage after prices drop just hold off on selling until the math works in your favor several years down the road. If you have to move now for whatever reason you may have to buy a smaller home in a less desirable location or rent a place that is cheaper than you can rent out your current home for.
