Yea if anything his research would show that guys keep coming back if the girls pretend to listen to them and care about their sad lives, so really he should be spending money and time on empathy training for the dancers.

Like, dudes will fall in love with the waitresses and bartenders at strip clubs, so clearly all this math about the "perfect stripper" is insane.

Geez it's not like you can't incorporate surveyed empathy into your data driven strip club design. Think outside the box a little.

now I really want to know what the ROI would be on empathy training programs for strip clubs

like how long does it take for a week long retreat with a life coach to pay for itself?

Did you guys know that at a lot of strip clubs the dancers have to pay to work there? They have to give the owners a "house fee" right off the bat and then even if they make a lot more than that, the house can still take a cut.

There is a strip club near where I live that has an "amateur night" on Sundays. Part of me wants to check out who is stripping for free on a Sunday night in rural-ish Tennessee and another part of me is legitimately terrified.

It's a bunch of freshly 18 or fake-ID teens with big dreams about financial independence and the glamorous lifestyle of getting naked for money. It's how the shittier clubs recruit.

Most are contractors these days, which bypasses requirements for treating the performers as employees. But no I don't know any of this because I don't know anything about strip clubs and I wouldn't enter them let alone handle the business of them unlike the piece of poo poo op

The best wings in the city of Miami are, as I was told by many people while living there, to be found in a heterosexually orientated strip club named after an Academy Award Winning Motion Picture about a man secretly doing drag as a woman to get money to fund his real art which gives the whole "Costco of Stripping" vibe it operates on a weird undercurrent.

It's sister location is named after Casablanca, and in addition to for a short time employing a friend of mine, does not play La Marseilles or support resistance to fascist ideology in the face of personal misfortune nearly enough.

Someone on Facebook shared this from a page titled It's Okay To Be Childfree

-----

From our Inbox

I have a psychiatric service dog. She is professionally trained and has a rather plain "to-the-point" vest. Her vest plainly states, "Service Dog" on both sides. I added two patches to both sides that says, "Please Do Not Pet, I am Working". I've always had problems with children running up to her to pet her, which distracts her and stresses me out.

My man sat up a trip for us to go to the park, to dinner, then to see a movie. He picked a showing of Beauty and the Beast at 12:00am on a school night to hopefully avoid children.

Well, I had my service dog with me. The park was fun. I actually let my dog have some fun by removing her vet and letting her splash around in a pet-friendly water fountain. Before we went to dinner, we took my dog to the groomers to get a bath and much needed nail clipping (my carpal tunnel makes to difficult for me to do and my man is afraid to do it). Once she was done and clean, we left to our dinner reservation.

Our dinner was nice and childfree. It was relaxing. Our day has been going amazingly well...which is rare.

We then left to the movies. We walked in, bought our snacks, gave out tickets, then sat down in our theater. We usually sit in the very back in a corner so I can keep my dog out of everyone's way. People started to pour into the theater, including children...my man groaned at this. We sat there, quietly munching on popcorn. I dug through my dog's backpack and pulled out a small baggy of dog food and my pills. I put the dog food in a collapsible dog bowl and gave it to her. As soon as I swallowed my pills, I heard a kid scream, "DOGGY!" The scream startled my dog, but she came to me to nudge my leg with her nose (an early alert). The kid came running and screamed again, "CAN I PET THE DOGGY??" I didn't answer, but my man did. he answered politely, "No. The dog is working and can't be petted." The kid proceeded to reach over my man and smack my dog across the face. Since the room was still bright since previews weren't even going yet, you could see her vest. I stood up, angry. The child's parents gave a sheepish grin (they were sitting 2 seats away from us) and said, "Sorry, [child's name] is just a kid." I said, "That's not an excuse for you letting him come over here to smack my SERVICE dog." The mother decided to take it upon herself to say, "When you have a child, you'll understand."

When I was 2 years old, I already knew how to treat an animal. You don't smack a dog. Or yank a cat's tail. You just don't. My man walked me out to talk to the security guard and they removed the family. We were allowed to return to our showing.

I really only have an issue when they don't do anything about it, like just this weekend I was getting some pho with the gf in this p small place, has like 3 booths and 2.5 tables. Family rolls in with a toddler, prolly like 3 or 4 just screeching for seemingly no reason, not even crying just yelling repeatedly. Parents occasionally tell the kid to be less noisy but for the most part he just keeps testin out how loud he can be for p much the duration of our meal.

I know kids can be obnoxious but when I was a kid and bein bad in public (food/movies/whatever) my mom would just drag me out of what we were doing and we just wouldn't go back for a long time, whenever I wanted to go again she'd be like "you couldn't behave yourself last time so you lost that privilege".

Stuff like kids runnin around being oblivious that they might be in people's way or such I don't really mind but when they're actively messing with people around them it's kinda more annoying. I recall one time there was a toddler behind me at another restaurant and they were just standing on their booth poking me in the back of the head, I have no idea what's with parents who let that kind of behavior continue.

As the title stated, I just got a brand new Horizon Arctic tank to go with my Kanger Subtank mini. I threw in the .5 ohm coil. I went to grab my juice. Since I haven't vaped in about a week, my juice just sat there, and it looked more liquidy than normal. I continued to fill my tank, soak the wick and took a hit..

What.. the gently caress.. the taste I was getting was a mix of dog piss and grape(which was the flavor) and no clouds came out. I tried again and again, gagging at the taste but to no avail. Can someone tell me what's going on?

Just wanted to share this with you as I'm livid right now and don't know what to do, knowing that i lost my Kangertech Subox Mini, and my Horizon arctic tank, and 20$ in juice, along with the fact that i vaped my own father's piss.

TLDR: Vaped my dad's piss.

I love how this person has a great handle on what she was like at 2. And apparently this toddler is able to reach over a grown-rear end man to hit a dog. Toddlers are impulsive but you should be able to physically control the situation without laying hands on the kid if it comes down to it. You already let the kid get too close if it is able to hit your dog. I do love how childfree people become annoyed at the presence of children at a kids movie though. It is like they themselves are too childish to understand the irony.

The people who get hosed up seem to be just as much at fault. It's really easy to spy crazy people and crazy behavior unless your poo poo is already hosed. Either that or you're so cripplingly lonely that you'll let anyone gently caress up your poo poo just for emotional validation and that's a bit of a lol.

One strange thing about relationships I've noticed is, talk to most people about them, and the response will be something like
"This person was an rear end in a top hat, this one was worse, I wasted a ton of effort trying to make that work".

Then when you have a breakup, the advice is almost always to get back together and hash it out. I just don't get advice from other people about relationships, it's almost universally terrible.
