21st birthday, friend bought me a lap dance and I was hooked.

Man, I don't know why you're dropping so much on stage. I rarely tip more than $5 on stage (of course, I don't stay at the stage long) but say "I'd like to take you to the back later, here's where I'm sitting, come find me," and it works.

It's a net positive, but not necessary. Seems like strip clubs are the only places I ever drink, these days. I'd rather go to a no alcohol club that had hotter girls and better mileage for my buck than a full bar club with the opposite.

@drew, all the teachers I know (and pediatricians, or anyone who deals with kids) say most of the kids are sweet--it's the parents who are fuckups. Particularly kids with disabilities. The sped teachers and developmental pediatricians say half these kids should get taken away. I'm split on the overall issue of teacher pay. On one hand, some of the worst districts in the country spend the most per student, yet always demand more more more down the money pit. On the other hand, better pay does attract better people across fields. Teaching is certainly a central determinant in what society will look like in 20-30 years.

I have referred to paychecks as "<number> lap dances," but I find myself justifying expenses the other way around, particularly as multiples of the costs of civvie dates. The currency of PL expenditures is memories. If I just want to get off cheap, I have a perfectly good hand. I'm paying for the memory of sexual contact with a hot chick in a subversive fashion. Good memories are worthwhile expenditures. No or bad memories are not.

This is her way of paying the bills. You. Are. A. Customer. 97. Set a strip club budget for the MONTH, not the day or the week. This will keep you from spending too much on one day, but leave you room for one boffo trip. 101. If you think you have a problem with strip clubs, you have a problem. Don’t let the hobby consume your life. Set moral and financial boundaries. 106. There are months you will want to club your ass off, and others you will want to take a break. This is natural. 107. Once clubbing becomes your “default” activity as a certain time, it may be time to mix it up. 108. Strip clubbing shouldn’t be your top hobby. Exercise (every man who is physically able should lift heavy weights), read, play a sport. Be a monger, not a PL. 109. Strip clubbing is best when you’re already enjoying life. 110. Per the last item, strip clubbing when you’re depressed or need to escape is a great way to become addicted. It stops being fun when it feels compulsive.

@OP, most of us have some manner of love/hate relationship with strip clubs. But we'll all agree on if you're having a shit time, or feeling like a loser on the drive home, don't go.

Very plain, with or without tattoos. With those implant scars, did the doctor use a chainsaw?

^ Lol. Long as Jamie Harden keeps the beard in the WNBA.

I shed no tears for jackass prank videos that get someone's ass beat down. You hear about the guy following another guy (white) in a mall and got shot? Or brandishing a weapon on the street and getting shot?

She's not my usual type but she can get it any time.

Yikes. It reads like a generic Yelp review. That could describe almost any strip club, and has fuckall of the information any type of monger wants.

^ It has elements of a dominance ritual. Like the Party in 1984 making people say that 2+2=5 if the party said so, it's that physically and chemically mutilated men are women, that sexual orientation is ingrained from birth but gender identity isn't, and that gender identity disorder isn't a mental illness or social contagion. It's about intimidation and force.

^ They don't call it white girl drunk for nothing.

In a broader sense, I'm often asked why conservatives care about the trans issue, given how little of the population is trans. The answer is because the left rubs our noses in it constantly. Vivek has a great video on LinkedIn, how the left ran out of rights to defend and now has to create new ones out of whole cloth. In this case, exercising that "right" involves the physical and chemical mutilation of children, the marginalization of others (like female athletes or women that don't want flapping dicks in female only spaces), and the average American to pay for it all. And to top it all off, it doesn't cure the mental illness that started the whole chain of events. The left has their "truthy" answers and phrases ("live daughter or dead son", "it's like being left handed") that don't stand up to fact and examination. And when we see through those, they threaten our livelihood. But it doesn't make it any more true. Sad how many people get their moral priorities from Twitter or mass media.

She might just be trying to butter you up. Strippers say that kind of shit to get you to open your wallet more. But if she actually comes over to your place, sex is definitely on the table.

^ Speaking of boring.

The only thing I find more boring than Trump's bombastic shtick is Trump haters' 1230912430926th "we've got him dead to rights now!"

A colleague asked me what I love about business trips to Germany. I wanted to blurt out "FKKs" but instead went with the anodyne "sightseeing."

@Papi, I think all this gender confusion nonsense leads to a "the emperor has no clothes" moment. Already pushback against giving puberty blockers out like they're candy, and falsely claiming they're safe when they've never been formally studied for gender transition. Those horrible reactionary autocracies the UK, Sweden, and Finland are pumping the brakes on this madness. I find the idea of "affirming" someone's gender confusion by lopping off their dick and balls as appalling as "affirming" someone's anorexia by giving diet pills and liposuctions to someone who's twenty pounds underweight. They are mentally ill people who need therapy and treatment for delusional thinking.

@Aham, it's a bitch to get tirzepatide for weight. I've tried, it's approved for diabetes only but the weight loss data on it is great. I might try semaglutide on a different regimen.

^ That class of drugs, you're just losing water weight because you're pissing out glucose. 15 pounds is a lot though.

No, because if something gets rejected, it's because it's either harmful or garbage. Along with "Approve" and "Reject," I'd favor a third button that delivers a shock to the sex organs of anyone who writes something that is obviously shit.

It's those ties--family, friends, jobs--that make a place feel like home or not. For a relatively young person in my field, I like the seasons in Boston, the smart, young, and constantly turning-over population. Jobs in my field. Living in the nearer burbs gives me the ability to get into or out of the city quickly. Only downsides are the cost of living, and it seems people here hibernate in the winter. A few years ago I might have said San Diego, but Cali looks fucked on so many levels right now. Or Austin, but it's becoming Southeast San Francisco. Or Atlanta, which seems to be growing too quickly for its own good.
