strippers are people too and its entirely reasonable to treat them like people and talk about their job

(only outside of the context of buying drinks/dances, of course)

During one bachelor party, an acquaintance was trying to get this one dancer to do all sorts of things but she just wanted to talk about her dog and show pictures of it off her phone. Then she would talk about her boyfriend and other issues that she had. Now this acquaintance found it highly annoying, I found that it was a good time to get some insight on the lives of marginalized people since you never get to hear their stories.

last bachelor party i went to ended up at a strip club, where the groomsmen paid the strippers to get the groom up on stage, give him a dance, and then spend the second song punishing him and literally tearing the elastic band off of his underwear

prosecutions are rare and expensive
manual audits are rare and expensive
automated audits are extremely common and profitable

a bunch of dudes will just get letters in the mail demanding thousands of dollars in back taxes

When I first started here, a bunch of dadly colleagues invited me to hit the Tilted Kilt with them. they harassed the poor waitress and jokes about how they could "buy her." men in their 40s and early 50s. it was gross and shameful.

Did you at least treat her respectfully and give her a pained "I'm sorry" expression when someone said something gross

A ton of poo poo that strip clubs do with their not-employees is illegal as all hell but the women have to just take it because nobody is going to stand up for strippers and even if they took it to court there's the near certainty that a jurist would be biased against them.

Same with house cleaners, but they unfortunately often have an added racism and/or immigration status clusterfuck going on as well.

in irvine a while back there was a case where a cop was basically talking this one stripper. he ended up (in uniform) pulling her over on her way home and raping her. the defense strategy, which worked, was that she was asking for it being dressed like that.

it's one of the reasons that i do not live in irvine even though that's where the office is.

carl icahn is an old school corporate raider where he buys enough of a companyto make a nuisance of himself then demands that they immediately do things that will make the stock go up with no consideration for the future of the company beyond him making money in the next 2-8 quarters

in this case the thinking is that ebay isn't growing any more but paypal is so splitting them up will turn paypal into a stock market rocketship

sounds like mine except for a small cabin on lake superior, and beers and booze instead of mushrooms. and a bonfire on the beach instead of canoe whatever. and no whiskey bottle throwing.

so i guess not like mine at all except for the cabin and the poker. :shrug:

yeah that's pretty much his thing, he tried to do it to apple and after they did a big [but not as big as icahn wanted] dividend they told him to gently caress off and did a split instead

he was basically telling apple to give all their cash to shareholders

isn't that a completely idiotic idea given that they got big discounts by buying whole runs of parts in cash well in advance? there must be a better medium between give all cash to shareholders and amazon's every penny of profit gets reinvested strategy

his response was "it's cheap to borrow money now, do that instead"

like I said he buys a stock with a price he wants in mind and he recommends any activity that gets him closer to his sell point at which point he doesn't need to care about the future of that company

he was one of the biggest backers of yahoo selling to MS which would have been a disaster for both companies but he would have got his $40 a share so he didn't give a gently caress
