A friend of mine posted a picture of a Halloween decoration of a skeleton man with a skeleton dog jumping up on him. It reminded me of a photo I’ve seen of the same but with real skeletons and it brought me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Krantz

Didn’t realize he was a local Washingtonian who studied Bigfoot.

No. This is literally from a desktop browser. That feature is only available on the app.

The frustrating part of this is how much of the smartphone world is dependent on companies playing along.

I have a Venmo business account I use from time to time. I tried to log in on it from my laptop yesterday to check my balance. I was met with this:

We used to complain that apps are just worse versions of websites, but increasingly, you’re being forced to install an app just to do basic things.

Is there any way to guarantee every app will be available on a linux phone? We can grab APKs at the moment off sketchy websites, but I don’t know how much longer that’s going to work after Google kills sideloading.

If we’re depicting Jesus with his crucifixion scars, why doesn’t Kirk have any scars? Bro, do u even martyr?

The only correct He-Man song.

For $500/mo, my house would be clean as fuck with any typical cleaning service.

How can we penny auction without pennies?

That before electricity, we had an invisible army of people who lit torches, cauldrons, and candles in unoccupied rooms/hallways just in case someone might walk in.

Since the title is hard to parse. The self-regulating group that monitors ads says that you can’t use a decision by the group in marketing.

AT&T is bragging about how T-Mobile has been flagged by the group more than AT&T which you’re not allowed to do.

All loves have to die, of that there’s no help
My favourite way to end ’em
Is the orb-weaver spider’s, whose pedipalp
Enters the female pudendum
Then dies on the spot, his corpse there still stuck
Left for his rivals to curse it
He would rather die than not get to fuck
Personally, I reckon it’s worth it

Doom3 flashlight. It’s Doom. Not fucking 5 Nights at Freddy’s.

Allowing you to collect all three triforce pieces in Ocarina of Time using arbitrary code execution.

But it is certainly regrettable like any other career.

Ok. So we’ve confirmed that it’s a career. I think taking on the concept of whether or not porn should be stored in a permanent medium is outside the scope of this conversation. It’s currently a valid career for men and women, and (assuming it’s all produced above board), there are plenty of systems in place to protect the people involved.

Hooters operates in a grey area. They obviously drive customers to their locations with sex appeal (though I actually like their wings personally), but there’s a fuzzy line around what is and is not okay in that scenario. Their own employee agreement has this to say:

• My job duties require I wear the designated Hooters Girl uniform.
• My job duties require that I interact with and entertain the customers.
• The Hooters concept is based on female sex appeal and the work environment is one in which joking and entertaining conversations are commonplace.

Even the company won’t delineate what “joking” means. If a patron makes a “joke” that makes a server super uncomfortable what are her options? Confront the customer and lose her tip? Quit her job? That’s a lot of financial strain just to feel comfortable at your job. I don’t think Hooters as an establishment should be shut down, but I think bragging about ogling the women should be a little frowned upon.

The language in the post indicates that he’s clearly ashamed of what he’s doing. He’s misleading his wife and speaks in euphemism. So whatever he actually does there, he at least thinks other people will think it’s creepy.

I think leaving a review like this just demonstrates a lack of problem solving skills or some sexual repression which is kind of sad. There are other, better ways to get your rocks off than Hooters if that’s really all you’re there for.

A customer of hooters can’t force the server to continue to be sexualized

Ask a victim of sexual assault how they feel about that statement.

And the point is if your goal of going to hooters is to bend the rules as far as you can, just get your fix some other way.

Edit: also, it’s a little belittling to assume that working in porn is a regrettable career.

The power dynamic between the porn actress and customer is different than between restaurant server and patron. The porn is filmed in a controlled environment, and even the live streams can be quit at any time. At a restaurant, the women are operating in a live environment, and their income is dependent on the patrons’ whims. The rules are fuzzy and you don’t know if your patron is going to understand the difference between friendly flirting and sexual attraction.

I got dragged to a strip club for a friend’s birthday. They were especially gross at the time in WA because you couldn’t drink at them. We were already drunk enough though.

Anyway, got a lap dance for $20. The first 30 seconds were the stripper explaining to me what I’m allowed to do. I.e. apparently you can rub your face on her boobs, but hands stay put. I’m sure if I broke that rule, a bouncer would beat the shit out of me. To maintain the “family friendly atmosphere,” restaurants like Hooters operate more on nuance that some patrons (like the person this post is about) may not understand.

The narrator in Indika. Or really anybody in Indika. Especially considering the English actors aren’t even the original actors.

I always figured that the game was being a creep because it’s the easiest way to get a woman to interact with your or at least acknowledge your existence. Porn has solutions for that too.

Or maybe they do indeed just want to make women uncomfortable. Harder to do that with porn since porn actors tend to not be great non-porn actors.
