"Yeah, I need to file a claim. Uh - Two naked fat gay retards fell from this office building on my car. Yeah. I'm not kidding. There is HIV+ blood everywhere."
Let's be honest, friend, no insurance company today would even bat an eye at that kind of claim. Fucker would probably answer "lol, NYC, right? Yeah we get that a lot, where should we mail the check?"
only +2000! for hospitality.
Oh that's fine and dandy, tbh. I want the hospitality and tourism industries to drop fucking dead and start again from scratch. They're at the obnoxious part of the Standard Procedure Tourism Destination cycle -- "overcharge for literally everything, give away literally nothing for free, not even parking or air if possible, mark everything up a thousand times over, nickle-and-dime literally everybody on literally everything, provide bare-minimum sub-standard products and services at minimal cost and effort, ban and criticize anyone who complains."
Endless hot air has been expelled just describing what Las Vegas is doing to itself lately (short version: they're chasing whales and completely thumbing their noses at families, traditional tourism, middle-class and even upper-class gamblers except the aforementioned whales; everything's overpriced, everything fun is canceled, nothing (not even parking) is free, and if you're not dropping $10k per bet at a high-roller table, as far as the casinos are concerned you can just go fuck yourself). That's just one example; it's happening everywhere. Disney's parks are another great example. How much were people being asked to pay for a two-night stay in a hotel room barely bigger than an interior cruise ship cabin, with bunk beds, themed like Star Wars? Like $3-4k for two people? Fuck that fucking shit, lol.
Tourism (as an industry) has always been about gouging and squeezing customers as much as possible, but it's gone off the deep end at this point and they're just pricing themselves out of every market. The adjacent "hospitality" industry is no better. It's just an endless hustle now, so much so even the old mafia types who used to run Vegas would stop and say "woah, slow your roll here, guys, this is a bit much."
I took that back in the day, it was insane how tall that bridge was
It's an architectural and construction marvel for sure, but that bridge fucking sucks to drive across. You can't see a fucking thing off the bridge -- the barrier walls are deliberately high (to prevent heavy crosswinds) and opaque (to prevent people scared of heights from wrecking their fucking cars). It's boring. At night you can't even really tell you're crossing the gorge. It just feels like an overpass with overbuild side walls.
Mullin says that deportations have increased to over 3,200 a day, compared to Noem’s piddling 1,400.
Beautiful. Naturally there will be people who still complain about a 2.5x improvement, muh "not enough" crowd and all.
A 4 TB hard drive costs $150. Just sayin'
4TB for $150? Holy fucking shit that's a ripoff ($37.50/TB). Check
DiskPrices for far better prices per GB. $310 will get you a 14TB disk ($22.14/TB). It's even cheaper if you buy refurbished (MDD/Water Panther are great for non-critical scratch space). Fun fact about refurbished hard drives -- they're about as reliable as the best-made new disks, since a "refurbished" drive is literally a disk that survived past the end of its predicted lifespan that's been returned, tested as still-good, wiped/reset, and relabeled. A disk that outlasts its warranty will almost always run indefinitely, because they accidentally built it too well (disks are manufactured today to a specific quality and lifespan target: warranty-plus-three-months).
I mean, the tits are nice and all, but the tattoos brand her permanently as ugly trash, and the fake eyelashes, hideous makeup and god-awful smirk don't help either. Not to mention the tattooed Hebrew bullshit constituting a very up-front and surprisingly honest warning label that you'll be jewed endlessly by this thing if you ever dare engage in any activities with it.
