  Those hand dryers are the ones that have a thin blade of extremely high speed air that tries to effectively blast the water off your hands rather than evaporate it. I suspect that would be very painful on your scrote.

  Ok, I was going to crack a joke about how this is a response to the vulva slit being removed from the depiction of the nude woman on the Pioneer plaque, but it literally is.

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque#Criticism

  According to the memoirs of Robert S. Kraemer, however, the original design that was presented to NASA headquarters included a line which indicated the woman’s vulva,[11] and this line was erased as a condition for approval of the design by John Naugle, former head of NASA’s Office of Space Science and the agency’s former chief scientist.[11] There have also been criticisms of the censorship of the female figure’s genitals. Scientist and artist Joe Davis protested the depiction with his Poetica Vaginal project wherein he used an MIT radar dish to transmit the recordings of a vaginal detector.[22]

  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.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This man is suffering⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This man is suffering⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This man is suffering⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  But what if you can’t get it? Go try to watch the Willow TV show on Disney+. There is no longer a legal way to watch it. They removed it from the service. You can’t buy it. It’s gone. Disney has also been editing its classic movies like Lilo and Stitch and Splash to remove parts that I guess they found objectionable.

  The trend that entertainment and culture are increasingly held hostage behind a paywall and subject to edits is dystopian as hell. What’s to stop Spotify or Netflix from moving all of your favorite media to Spotify Pro or Netflix Premium? What if there’s no other way to acquire that media? How much would you pay per month to experience it again? In what way is this a service that benefits the consumer?

  I like my collection of movies, shows, and music, and as long as I’m careful not to lose the files, I can experience them, unchanged, for as long as I like.

  it’s not like it was physical and became digital only

  And that is happening. Many movies are out of print. DVDs don’t always last forever. There has never been a legal way to obtain a movie in a DRM-free digital format. Ripping backups from discs is the only way to guarantee they are preserved and available forever.
