Why do you ask questions you know the answer to?

Once I heard a heart surgeon tell a story where he was getting tested for his surgeon license or whatever, and they showed him an x-ray of a heart that was malformed so that the chambers were the wrong size/position, but the x-ray was mirrored so it looked normal-ish, but still off. He said it was the hardest question he ever got.

That's how I feel about the last page here, except it's the Poe's Law exam.

Hahahah what the gently caress. How does your brain get to the point where you even make something like this? All the other stuff I kinda get, but what compels a man to make this?

e-Why Fluttershy. Why indeed.

At least 'being near a lady's genitals' is pretty straightforward, and menstruation isn't that weird of a thing-it denotes fertility and adulthood.

Ha, I used to think that pad guy was weird, but in a world were people want to watch sisters dock each others outies, pad guy is down right reasonable.

The beard, haircut, glasses and pallid skin just scream 'weirdo shut-in' but like, weirdo shut-in from a different era. This is your daddy's weirdo shut-in.

Kudos to him though for getting the courage up to leave the basement and presumably travel to France.

i want to think he grew the beard specifically to give that vibe when he made his debut.

It's be a good tactic. Can you imagine trying to concentrate sitting across from him? Even if he doesn't smell like old milk and cat you're going to be too distracted by his forked beard and magnified eyes to think straight.

Can mega-popular mainstream franchises enjoyed by millions and millions of people worldwide be considered "geek"?

Geek's done a 180 and is so dominant in media discourse that anything that is not just straight real world media is 'geek' and is therefore special and kooky. I don't think the Hunger Game is 'geeky' in any sense other than it takes place in a dystopia, but no one has seized upon Brave New World or Handmaidens Tale as being 'geeky'.

Is there even a piece of media that doesn't take place in real life that hasn't been declared 'sooooo geeky'? I've never seen anyone declare American Horror Story a geek media yet I guess.

Oh, so he's the strawman used in every philosophy class about why utilitarianism is flawed then.

I worked at a casino. Casinos are gross as hell. We once had to remove chairs off the gaming floor because a lady had gotten menstrual blood on them. I saw a dude make a mad dash towards the bathroom before stopping halfway, dropping his pants, and taking a huge poo poo. Casinos are the grossest places and exposed me to human depravity you wouldn't believe. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me: for the longest time we would constantly find the same type of blood spatter in the handicap stall in the men's room. It always started from the front of the toilet and went straight up the wall in a jagged line. I always figured it was someone shooting up incorrectly.

I work in a hotel. Once you take the nice clean sheets and pillowcases off the mattresses and blankets are stained with blood and piss and poo poo. There's no special process or procedure for dealing with body fluids, it's just wipe it with a rag and cleaning fluid until it isn't visible.

Hotels are the grossest thing in the world. You'd have more sanitary conditions sleeping under a bridge. People are loving animals,. They piss everywhere, everything is covered in pubes, and if you're lucky the condoms and tampons end up in the garbage. This is a pretty 'nice' hotel too. Never drink out of the cups that the hotel provides because they are not properly washed ever, and if they are disposable they hang out the bathroom until they are used, which can be days or even weeks.

A thing I heard, (so actual Hotel workers can confirm or deny), is that what one should do if one wants clean sheets is to smear either nutella, or tomato sauce on the sheets every morning. Because the one thing that will make housekeeping change the sheets is if they see stains that look like either blood or poo poo.

So if you see a sheet that looks clean, it probably isnt, so you should make it look like someone shat or bled on it, and then they will bring you a new clean one.

Yeah we'll change your sheets but you'll get an extra service fee because you are making a huge nuisance of a mess on purpose if it's large enough for housekeeping to see it while tidying up your room, which just means pulling the covers up. There's a pretty good chance too that the person cleaning your room either won't see it or won't give a poo poo, particularly if you're a grown rear end adult who's rubbing food into their own bed.

Also, we can tell the difference between nutella and poo poo, primarily because nutella doesn't smell like poo poo, so we'll say to reception "the rear end in a top hat in 203 is rubbing food in the sheets, give him an extra cleaning charge." That's something housekeeping can absolutely do if you go out of your way to make a mess that's going to take time to clean up.

A while ago one single person in a four person room used all the pillows (8 in total) and the blankets (4) to make like a nest for himself. That's quite a bit of a extra work, which is offset when you have four people in there by there being a higher rate, but when it's just one person who ends up in that room cause all the singles are taken, and they do something like that, then we are absolutely allowed to add a cleaning service charge to the room. Same thing if you smoke or get water everywhere or something.

I don't know why you'd do that in first place, because the bed linens get changed when a new guest comes in, and if you stay longer than three days or so you get new sheets anyway. We don't leave dirty linens in a room at my hotel, and if you are staying at a hotel that did do that, they aren't going to care if you befoul your own sheets. There's no clean mattresses or clean duvets or anything in the back to replace them with. If you absolutely, 100% need to have new sheets each day for some reason, just ask at the front desk.

So, there's a lifehack I guess to make housekeeping's life a little bit more annoying? If you're going to do something nasty like this, at least tip. Housekeeping has no control over anything really, it's not our fault that the beds are old and gross.

People who are inconsiderate to service workers are AUG.

Thanks guys for the actual information. I had always thought that hotels only cleaned bed linens etc. when they HAD to, turns out I was wrong, at least in degree.

How many hotels/motels have you actually stayed in?

The only time it might not happen, at least in my experience, is this: Some room have multiple beds but only one guest. If they didn't sleep in the bed you don't have to change the linens, only smooth out the duvet. However, for some reason, I don't know if they think they are being helpful or what, people will put the duvets and the pillows back in the EXACT way we fold/arrange them, which is a very specific and fussy way, mostly so we know if that bed has been touched or not. I usually spot this cause the sheets are wrinkled, no getting around that if a person sleeps there, but if it's a busy day it's possible this could get overlooked.
