  1. I had quite a few lapdances over the years from strippers who dated female strippers - it's a lot easier for them to date someone else in the biz. If you are near a male strip club you could probably find it pretty easily.
  2. atgonlinecoaching.com . They come off a little cultish, but if you follow the program you will see results.
  3. @kneesovertoesguy on instagram. His posts are lostly about basketball but there are several programs to choose from.
  4. Yikes! Good luck!
  5. Good grief. What the hell is wrong with people?
  6. Are you sure it wasn't just a mass text to everyone in his contacts? Seems unlikely he'd reach lut to you specifically.
  7. Well apparently that was too much because according to Squirt it's closed now.
  8. There is zero political will to spend more but the reality is the population is aging and total medical needs are increasing. My sister's nursing home has gone from being, in her words, "not THAT bad - it's just like a really crappy resort" to somewhere I am afraid to go 24 hours without seeing her in person. She's wound up on IV fluids for dehydration twice because nobody noticed when she was having trouble feeding herself.
  9. Shouldn't mandating group be some sort of privacy violation? I realize it's not the most obvious thing to want to keep confidential, but you can't keep someone's medical info private if you are treating them with multiple observers. I am not in the field but I know a lot of PTs who have abandoned the insurance model altogether and went solo and charge cash. Others only take insurance as out-of-network so they can charge what they think is reasonable and the patient makes up the difference. May not be as feasible for OT or in your location depending on local income levels.
  10. You said the cost of incarceration is the cost of compassion. That is patently not true. The vast majority of the cost of incarceration is the cost of meeting the minimal standard of care the state owes people in its total control(building costs, round the clock security, surveillance). Making it more pleasant really wouldn't cost all that much as a percentage of costs. The majority of the costs are the building and building security, not comfort items. And making it more unpleasant (e.g. shitty food) doesn't really save all that much.
  11. It's not about compassion. It's about the fact that if you deprive someone of their liberty, you can't do so in conditions that facilitate loss of their life. You have a duty of care to people in your charge. It's an obligation, it's not optional.
  12. I have to say when it comes to lap dances I generally found the straight/bi guys were more "professional" about it. Probably because they knew it was definitely just a paycheck for them. Also maybe because some of them had been wrestlers etc they weren't really spooked by a lot of body contact with people they weren't attracted to.
  13. The license thing is bullshit because they can look that up online. Same with the registration and insurance.
  14. The initial registration for a new car lasts four years. The initial inspection sticker lasts 5. Why the hell should you have to renew a registration in the first place? The purpose is to know who the owner is, and they alreadyhave that info. If they want to raise revenue they can do it through the gas tax.
  15. Who said anything about getting out of the ticket?
  16. I would have done anything my officer wanted. ANYTHING.
  17. Apparently much of the recovery was clawed back from the people who had pulled out early. So odds are they knew something was up.
  18. I was pulled over on a plate reader two weeks ago. The cop's lights went on so quickly I knew he couldn't have even flipped a switch to scan the plates, the scanners were just always running. I asked him about that and he confirmed. I knew I had forgotten to renew the registration when it came in the mail. But the system in NJ is ridiculous - This is a car I bought new, and the initial inspection was good for 5 years while the registration was good for 4. They should synchronize them. Also, they know if you are insured, so not having the card should not be a ticket in this day and age(I had the insurance card, it just irks me that that is still on the books.)
  19. 75% recovered? I'm shocked there was that much to recover. Seems he should have been able to keep it running if he had that much.
  20. If you're in end stage renal failure and choose hospice, I'm 99% sure that means foregoing dialysis, and usually death comes within a couple of weeks assuming the kidney failure was total. Being on dialysis 3 times a week is an existence, not a life, as the procedure is very taxing for most patients. My mother was on dialysis 9 months before she died and by the time she complained about it, I didn't feel I could ask about stopping it because she had some dementia and I as her caretaker had a conflict of interest. OTOH columnist Art Buchwald famously went into hospice for kidney failure and his kidneys bounced back, giving him an unexpected 18 months...
  21. Please note I'm not saying YOU wouldn't have taken the advice. Just most 20soemthings whose friends are all going to Cancun on a credit card won't want to miss out.
  22. Plenty of people say this, but the odds are they likely lacked the maturity to take the advice even if it was given. It doesn't help that we have a culture that encourages people to think of themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires. I've had friends who make $200k/year say they don't bother saving, because "they can always make more money." It'll work for one or two of them, and the rest just won't know what happened.
  23. The above may have come off harsher than I intended. But my position remains a HS class would do little good because the people who need it won't be paying any attention, and the people who do pay attention aren't the ones who need it. 3 of my 4 boomer siblings have zero retirement savings, and truth be told, zero net worth. One is in a nursing home so it's moot. The other two will be working until they drop, despite both having college degrees.
  24. You could teach all this to fifth graders but they'd forget it within a year. Same thing if you teach it in high school. By the time it's time to use it, people will have forgotten it. The people who "don't want to think about money" simply won't do it and will find themselves in trouble anyway. I know far too many people who are more than capable intellectually of handling money who are ALWAYS in a shortfall because they "spend the next raise," spend to fill the void in their hearts, etc. and no academic class is going to teach them that what they actually need is discipline. These are the people who should just pick up a book by Suze Orman or Dave Ramsey(but skip the religious nuttery) and do it themselves. There are ample CHEAP resources out there.
  25. You say you're not goodlooking, but how are you dressing? It might help to step up the wardrobe to something that signifies you have money. And honestly, the right clothes do make you look better. (I say this as someone who dresses terribly...). Also, I hate to say it, but a fair number of the working boys at the NYC bars have racial hangups. If you're not white that could be part of it for some of these guys.
