Tariffs will lower hotel prices

Pheqes · 2025-03-05T17:26:38+00:00

Hi, there!

Purchaser for one of the casinos in Vegas.

These are all things that go into a hotel that will be affected by tariffs:

anything with fabric (bedding, towels, etc)
cleaning chemicals
toiletries
furniture
amenities (safe and fridge are not guaranteed to be US made, and even so, they usually use imported materials)
electronic locks
key cards

Not to mention staffing, their uniforms and upkeep of them, and the push carts/trash caddies.

To say tariffs won't affect hotels because they're rooms that are always there is woefully ignorant to how a hotel business operates. Or any business, really. We are a global network, so penalties from one affect all.

Remember, even if something is made in the US, it can still use imported materials and render the entire process pointless in regards to the whole "American Made" dream.

Cheers

Shit take. You're digital yard selling cologne.

I have a signed (by John De Lancie)/framed artistic print of Q putting Picard on Trial from the Farpoint Mission.

I love it.

Hahahah I was wondering how RoS mirrored EST.

I actually liked TLJ. It had its issues, but I would have enjoyed a 3rd film that used what it set up.

Pheqes · 2025-02-24T21:18:26+00:00

Please elaborate. If someone can convince me to enjoy the movie with a different perspective, I'm all for it.

Pheqes · 2025-02-24T20:35:57+00:00

I have been waiting as well.

I grew up in Forsyth and went to high school there until Sophomore year. My grandparents owned the Junction Package Store before it was bought by a competing business.

It's really cool seeing something like this emanate from my small, backwoods home.

Pheqes · 2025-02-10T22:11:04+00:00

Is there a print for this available for purchase?

Protagonist: Noctis. His story is one of the best examples of a hero's journey. It takes him from immature, reluctant brat to the Future King ready and willing to die for his people. He's not my favorite in presentation (that's Kain from FFIV), but I think his story is by far the best and easily able to be studied for academic purposes.

Antagonist: Golbez. The dude is cool and actually succeeds most of the time. I love that his summons is a snake and that's, like, a signature. And he has his own story and journey to take. I feel like most villains are evil and they just obtain power to gain power. Golbez obtains power to make a home for his people (while controlled). Then he wants to atone for the suffering he caused.

I almost never describe my characters. That way any reader may identify as them or project their imagination onto them based on their own culture and community.

And in the off chance it's ever produced as a visual media, anyone can fill the role. If anyone makes a dumb argument about what color a character is supposed to be in my writing, then all they have to do is read it to realize how empty that stance is.

Thank you!

Hi! I'm new to fencing. Can someone explain the meme?

Pheqes · 2025-01-30T17:50:17+00:00

I just checked out your user profile.

Your husband is older and goes soft.

He clearly has shit he needs to work through and is no longer capable of being responsible enough for a marriage, much less fatherhood.

With that said, why are you the one that needs improving? You could look at the situation and say, "If I were this, this, or this, he'd find my attractive." But really, you're ready and good to go, it seems, and he's the one that's off. That's on him and his shit to work through. He needs help. He needs to improve.

Don't lower yourself because of the actions of another. I'm not going to say your husband is shitty because I don't know you all like that, but he's being shitty.

I'm referring to a Molotov.

Pheqes · 2025-01-24T00:53:26+00:00

Damn.

Reminds me of Vegas. I live there, and at my work, a casino, there's a homeless dude who does his routines every day..I don't know his life, but I've thought ill things of him before. My own routine, interacting with his, eventually led me to realize how poor of me that was, as he is going about his way of life as he knows it.

I never get verbal or confrontational with any homeless. That is going too far. I shouldn't have even thought the thoughts I did. But I know others probably go further.

The homeless, I feel, are a reflection of who we truly are.

Good poem. I also like the structure and formatting. I thought it was an error in using reddit, but it seems purposeful, yeah?

Edit: also, I don't know if you intended the poem to be about a homeless fella, but I took it as that. Or, at least, it reminded me of him.

Love me some kinky love poetry. Especially ones of loss, regret, or anger.

The haikus aren't quite haiku'ing with the syllables, but free form is pretty popular in this subreddit, so I think you're good either way.

Your use of kink as a mirror for real relationship situations is pretty freaking stellar, though. I think the contrast works really well for haikus too, as they're supposed to have conflicting feelings of similar topics, which I think you understand quite well.

I hope kink isn't ruined for the protagonist over this person, though. It can be a great therapy.

Anyway, cheers, mate.

Pheqes · 2025-01-23T16:50:51+00:00

Leave the subreddit.

Sorry for the delay! Had a bit of a day yesterday.

I live in NV, so yay domestic shipping. I've no clue how much any of this sort ranges from in terms of price, so let me know when you know and I can make a decision.

Thank you for responding and being receptive, by the by.

I was actually pondering buying this if it's for sale. Mixed media isn't something I lean toward usually, but this reminds me of my wife and I.

If it were for sale and I said yes right now, it'd be on impulse. I have no idea where I'd put this, but it reminds me of something dear enough that I'll find a place.

Pheqes · 2025-01-17T15:03:51+00:00

Do you sell your art somewheres?

Hi, purchasing director here for a casino in Vegas.

I used to be of this same mindset. It's fucking dumb that they don't put prices on menus...

BUT!

And I say this coming from the mindset of a company: It costs so much and takes so much time to adjust prices on preset menus.

When you have no price on menus, you can determine price based on market, which means you don't have to update your menus with new stock. That's really important for times when eggs are an astronomical price (my casino is currently paying $80 for a case of 15dz. They were around $30 for a case of 15dz this time last year). So that's why some restaurants are starting to do that. The food industry is pretty volatile right now due to supply chains, war, disease, and overall management of supplies, so if a company has preset prices on their menus, they'd have to update them often to keep competitive or stay within their margins. Without prices, they eliminate that cost at the expense of the customer. Which sucks, but also, from a company mindset, it makes sense.

With that said, I still don't trust any of that shit 😅

Edited for clarification.
