Unionized dancers from North Hollywood strip club go on strike
I only have 2 questions: 1) what type of union schedules a picket line to end on a particular date, let alone after only 3 days? Doesn't seem very effective to me. 2) which of our California members is going to be the first to try to negotiate OTC from a striking stripper on the picket line?

Pepper Spray
I assume they didn't realize that the pepper spray had spread into the rest of the club. I have been in the same room as someone getting pepper sprayed / maced a few times including being less than 10 feet away once. On none of those occasions did it effect me or anyone else in the room beyond the intended target and those in direct contact with them. Generally pepper spray is very concentrated so that only the target is effected, it isn't like the tear gas canisters they use to disburse rioters. I am not surprised that a club wouldn't evacuate or even announce anything when it first happened. The bars that I was in when customers got prpper sprayed didn't evacuate or shit down. People jst sort of migrated away from where it happened. I'm sure it is probably not the 1st time someone has been pepper sprayed in a strip club by either a bouncer or a stripper. However, once any customers or employees started being effected they should've addressed it further at that point.

The point of the playoffs is to at least have a few of the top teams go head to head to determine the championship. Is it possible to include all of the good teams no. Even March Madness has some teams left out of the field that have a better record than some teams that make the field. The only way a pure merit system would work in college would require a complete restructuring of the conferences. They would need divide it into only about 40 teams in the division and divide those teams up into 4 conferences. Each team would play the 9 other teams in their conference and one randomly selected team from each of the other 3 conferences. Then the team with the best record from each conference gets into the playoff. Of course that system would leave out nearly 100 smaller schools from being able to ever compete at the top level against the big programs. It would also eliminate a lot of traditional rivalries since some of those rivals wouldn't make the cut. But I guess since we are allowing NIL money into college sports we may as well just get rid of all of the other traditions and treat it like a minor league for the NFL.

Did you watch that game against Louisville? It was pathetic with virtually no offense out of either team. They clearly did not look like a top team in that game.

The fact is you can't just look at the W-L record in college like you can professional sports because the opponents are no where near equal. Otherwise independent teams like Notre Dame would only schedule games against teams like Akron, Eastern Kentucky or Chattanooga and go undefeated and make the playoffs each year.

As for FSU having earned that spot, it is no more true for them than it is for Liberty who also went 13-0 and won their conference championship. After all Cincinnati made the playoff when they went 13-0 in a non-power 5 conference. So I guess by your logic Liberty should be in instead of Alabama or Texas making it Michigan, Washington, FSU and Liberty in the playoffs. It has never been set up for the 4 teams with the best record to get in. It has always been stated that it was the committee's job to select the 4 "best" teams in CFB. Right now FSU isn't one of the 10 best teams without their star qb, let alone one of the 4 best.

25, there are already major changes to the college football playoffs scheduled for next year when it moves to a 12 team playoff. What grounds would Florida State have to sue on. The rules for this version of the playoff have been in place for a decade and Florida State knew them and those rules were followed. There have always been conference champions left out each year since there are more than twice as many conference champions as there are playoff spots. Besides Florida State already accepted an invite to play in the Orange Bowl against Georgia so if they tried to challenge things now they would be the ones in breach of that contract. Was the 4 team playoff system perfect? No, absolutely not. Was it better than the BCS system that was in place before it that only had the top 2 ranked teams play for the national championship? Yes. Even the BCS was better than the system that was in place for nearly 100 years before that where there was no game played head to head for the championship. It was just up to some associated press sports writers to vote in a poll to determine the champion.

"The committee got it right. The best 4 teams are in the field." I agree that the committee got it right, but I'm not so sure that they are the 4 best teams. I believe OSU and UGA are both better than Texas, but only slightly. Despite OSU and UGA being better than Texas I think the committee made the right choice by taking the fact that Texas won their conference championship and that both OSU and UGA lost their most recent game into account to put Texas ahead of OSU and UGA. While I feel bad for FSU not getting in despite being a 13-0 Power 5 conference champion, the committee had no choice but to leave the out. Without Jordan Travis they simply are the same team, much like my beloved Bengals simply aren't the same without a healthy Joe Burrow. It sucks for their players, coaches and fans but with a 4 team playoff someone is going to feel they got royally screwed and this year it is Florida State's turn. OSU and UGA both deserved to be competing for a national championship as well, but with only 4 playoff spots not every deserving team gets that chance. In the end the right 4 teams are in the playoffs.

Michigan and Washington are locks as 12-0 power 5 conference Champs that are currently playing their best football. I think Texas is a lock due to the head to head scenarios where they beat Alabama and Alabama beat Georgia. You can't really put Bama in and leave out a conference champion with the same record who beat them by double digits. Florida St is the wildcard. As a 12-0 ACC champion they would normally be in, but that offense was difficult to watch with the new QB yesterday. I think if they would've looked at least decent with him they would've been in, but as bad as they looked I don't think the Committee can justify saying they are one of the 4 best teams in college football right now. Because of that I think it will be Alabama in the 4th spot. Georgia and Ohio State were the two teams that had been in the top spot all year but both will miss the playoffs. They both only once and only in a close game to a great team either in a neutral or road game. Unfortunately the way everything else worked out I don't see how the committee can justify putting either one in, unless they really just say "fuck the records ands championships, we want the 4 best teams in." If they wanted to do that I think it would be an all big ten and sec playoff with UM, Bama, UGA and OSU but everyone outside of the sec and big ten would go balastic.

Did you ever get one over on a dancer?
I don't try to get one over on anyone that I do business with let alone beautiful young women that are making me happy. Closest I've ever come was a dancer who I had gotten dances and done vip with on several occasions and always tipped until the last time I got dances from her. The dances were very subpar so I ended things after just 3 dances and gave her $60 for the 3 $20 dances and she got upset and said she expected a tip from me like every other time. I told her that the difference was that all of the other times she was flirtatious, paid attention to me the whole time, gave a good grind and good two way contact and this time it was half air dances with her talking to the dancer in the next booth the whole time. She told me I was trying to short her on what was do to her and pulled a bouncer over saying I owed her money. I explained that if anything the $60 was more than she deserved based on her subpar effort but since I stayed for 3 songs hoping that it would get to the point it had been in the past I was paying for the three songs but no way in hell I would tip. Bouncer agreed and said "he paid his $60" and walked away. Needless to say it was the last time she got a dime from me.

Is scamming a "hustle" now?
"have you ever alluded to or outright told customers extras were available if they paid you beforehand and then not gone through with it?" Obviously I'm not a dancer, but there is a huge difference between "alluding to" and "outright telling" someone that extras were available. I assume the vast majority of strippers "allude" to sexual activities at some point in there career, a much much lower percentage of them actually tell a customer they are open to extras. There are a lot of customers that go to strip clubs specifically for the fantasy that is created by dancers alluding to sexual activities while flirting with them. Many customers want this allusion and flirtation even though they would never actually follow through with it even if the dancer was ready and willing because they are in a committed relationship or just not wanting to do p4p. That is why it is such an effective sales tactic , "hustle" or whatever you want to call it.

"Suggesting extras ITC or OTC with no intention of following through is just a simple scam/rob." There is a big difference between "suggesting" and agreeing to extras. She can say that she can't suck your dick in the lapdance room but "suggest" that it could happen in the VIP by saying how much more private it is and how there aren't as many rules in there. If you get in the VIP and she still says she won't suck your dick that isn't a scam or a rob. Now if she says "if we do the vip for an hour and you give me an extra $100 I'll suck your dick" and then fails to do so after you pay her that is a scam. Same goes for her "suggesting" otc is an option by saying something like "if you spend enough here to make it worth my while I'll consider it" isn't her agreeing to do it and is just a hustle. Now if she says "give me $500 cash and I'll meet you at your hotel in an hour" and doesn't show up that is a scam.

When she asked you to zelle or cashapp her money did she specifically say what was going to happen in exchange for the money? If not, it was just a normal hustle of trying to pry as much money as possible from you by basically saying things would get better. Also, as someone who has worked as a fraud investigator for a credit card company for more than a decade I would expect your claim of fraud to be declined and you'll be out the money. The fact is you did agree to send them the funds and you can't use the fact that they refused to commit a crime (prostitution) as the reason to deny the funds transferred. That claim is going to go about as well as someone calling the cops to say their drug dealer gave them fake meth.

FKK Sharks is not a strip club and does not belong in the top 40 strip club list
To me including FKK clubs is no different than including the clubs in Tijuana where you can take the girls to a hotel next door. In fact it is no different than any club that allows extras. Sure the ability to cheaply and easily buy sex gives the club an advantage of other clubs. However, the same could've been said about Follies in it's heyday compared to a low mileage high priced club in DC or NYC or some of the peep show style performance where you are separated from the dancer by plexiglass. Would anyone on here argue that Follies wasn't a top club on here or that the reason it was a top club was that extras were offered easily and cheaply? If you want to exclude FKKs because they sell sex you would have to exclude any club that frequently offers extras.

Do Strip Club Billboards work on you?
Not often, but occasionally on a long boring road trip I'll see a billboard and decide to make a quick pit stop to break up the boring drive. Usually these stops are just a quick hit where I just get a few lap dances and then get back on the road.

Ohio has voted in favor of abortion rights and legalized recreational marijuana.
Muddy I don't think I would call Ohio a red state. The majority of the state's counties are solidly red but the top several population centers (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, etc) are fiercely Democrat these days. As of yesterday's election Cincinnati no longer has a single Republican in city government after the only Republican on the City Council was voted out. In fact, according to the Pew Research center the state is 42% Republican, 40% Democrat and 18% independent so I would call it solidly purple right now. I lean strongly Republican on most issues, but not on abortion. As a Catholic I see it as a sin but that doesn't mean it should be illegal. A sin is a violation of your faith but shouldn't necessarily be a violation of the law. Many religions see premarital sex as a sin but I doubt many of the people here want it to be illegal. The Catholic church discourages birth control including condoms but I bet a lot of us are glad they are legal. There are many things that various religions see as a sin that many of us would be appalled if they were illegal.

Definition of Nude
With a fishnet outfit like that where you can clearly see her tits, ass and pussy I'd consider that as nude. I'm also pretty sure that any of the places that prohibit nude dancing but allow topless dancing would consider it nude as well.

Is it Cheating?
Yes it's cheating ... unless you man up and be honest with her about what you ate doing with those girls. If you are honest about it then she can decide if it is acceptable in your relationship. Without honesty it isn't a relationship, it is just fuck buddies. There is nothing wrong with that, but both people should be aware that is all it is and one person shouldn't treat it that way will lying to the other about being in a relationship. Look at it this way, would you consider it cheating if you found out she was paying someone to fuck her?
