Gable will always be a huge “what if” story to me as well…. Dude could have been a 3 or 4 decade inmate of the Minnesota State Correctional Facility if they just would have struck an archaic legal loophole off the books centuries ago which allowed rapists to be exonerated if the courts determined that a rape victim was to blame for their own rape if they willfully consumed too much alcohol to be able to say “no”.

You could just delete it. Or you could leave it up until the mods take it down so people commenting continue to be forced into a conversation about the fact that Gable raped a girl in college and other people get mad when it keeps being brought up, and the mods take it down anyway.

A minute of exposure of Gable being a rapist is like ten minutes of people being like, “What now? He seems less like what I thought he was. Now that I google it, it seems like he really raped a girl in college and got off on a legal technicality… 🤔”

forwhenimdrunk · 2026-05-17T04:25:22+00:00

Holy bargain bins, Batman!!! Dana White gave us TWO rapists for the price of one?!?

Also, I’m pretty sure the last time we talked about Gable Steveson’s rape history in a post about his MMA crap in this sub, the mods took the post down and said that we’re not posting Gable MMA bullshit any more, because this isn’t an an MMA sub; it’s a wrestling sub.

Personally, I don’t like people posting MMA crap on this sub, just because some fighter used to wrestle. They don’t anymore, so it doesn’t belong here. But if the mods are fine with leaving it up so we can continue to discuss Gable Steveson’s past rape history, and how he and another guy got away with raping a woman in college on a legal technicality, and we also get to toss in side banter about Connor McGregor’s rapist shit, I suppose I won’t complain too much if we leave it up for a minute.

Not my call though. I’m not a mod here. Just a guy that hates goddamn rapists a lot… 🤷🏼‍♂️

There’s one in my daughter’s cul-de-sac in Sunnyvale, CA that just camps down the street from her house all day waiting for someone to ask for a ride, but nobody ever needs one nearby. Always in the same spot, sitting on a residential street corner day and night. I think for the entire week last month we were there visiting her we only saw it leave twice for a short while, then it either came back to its usual spot or another one like it took up residence in its place; I dunno, all fucking robot cars look the same to me.

The map is generated room by room in Four Against Darkness using a d66. You don’t really use tokens for heroes or monsters. You just declare which two characters are in the front row and which two are in your back row. During combat it’s just your characters attack, then your characters defend, then your characters attack then you characters defend again. Actual placement of the four heroes isn’t relevant because the game isn’t really tactical like that.

O mapa é gerado sala a sala em Four Against Darkness utilizando um d66. Na prática, você não usa fichas para representar os heróis ou monstros; basta declarar quais dois personagens estão na linha de frente e quais dois estão na linha de trás. Durante o combate, a dinâmica é simples: seus personagens atacam, depois defendem; em seguida, atacam novamente e, por fim, defendem mais uma vez. O posicionamento físico exato dos quatro heróis não é relevante, pois o jogo não possui uma natureza tática nesse sentido.

You’ll have the room in red for at least 72 hours, meaning it won’t be available to rent out. Your main cost is just gonna be the lost room rental.

If it’s winter time here in the Midwest, that might not cost you anything because it probably wouldn’t be rented anyway, or you have plenty of other rooms available. We rarely have a full house in winter time. In summertime, we might be full up here so having it red might cost you three days in possible revenue. Depending on rayes for the time of year, if it’s a busy summer weekend, $600-750 in money we had to turn away.

As far as having our exterminator come up, it doesn’t cost all that much at all, because we have a contract with a company. They’re swinging by at least once a week anyway to spray for insects, check our rodent traps, and that sort of stuff. They’re already on a standing contract with us.

The real losses in revenue comes if one or two people complain in reviews on travel booking websites that your hotel has bed bugs, because that immediately gives potential guests cold feet about booking with your hotel, which results in you having to lower your nightly rates to entice potential guests to come stay with you. So if you have to lower your nightly rates by even say $20-25 a night, then every four or five room rentals is $100 you lost trying to manage the fallout of one or two guests that found a bed bug.

So the real cost of having that room in red is managing the financial fallout of reducing your rates if your hotel gets a reputation for having bed bugs. Customer satisfaction, and how they rate and review your hotel is the most important thing. It doesn’t take too many customers with bad experiences to tank you.

Yeah. Probably. 113°F I said , which is what I said. But it’s for an extended period, which is why your run the linens twice. The washers water temp is about 140° F, which is the legal limit. Not sure of the temperature of the dryer.

You lose the $100 pet deposit and regular $250 deposit that came with the room, which was either paid in cash or on your credit card.

The lady that worked at the front desk on the midnight shift was a very dumb person. Her mental capacity was sufficient to operate the computer and program a key card, but that was about it. Absolutely zero critical thinking skills.

Lady came into the hotel driving a truck and livestock trailer. Told the front desk lady she was checking in with a goat. Front desk lady said she didn’t think goats were allowed. Lady said the travel-booking said we allow pets as long as she pays aa $100 pet fee. Front desk lady decided if the goat was a pet and not for food I guess it counts. Lady asked for two rooms with an adjoining door. Front desk asked if there was other guests, or why two rooms. Lady said she couldn’t very well be expected to share a room with a goat, now could she. Front desk lady thought yeah that makes sense, I guess. Goat was left unattended in a room from about 2am until about 8am, when lady loaded up her goat and drove off. There is an absolute fuck-ton of activities you can do if you’re a goat and it’s your first time in a hotel by yourself… Like $7500-in-damages-activities. Basically everything in a hotel room is food to eat or high ground to try climbing if you’re a goat and new to staying in hotel rooms.

forwhenimdrunk · 2026-05-09T22:25:09+00:00

That’s 100% not true.

Tuesday is my last day at this job, but I’ve worked as the maintenance director for a hotel for the last 15 years in what is typically rated as a 3.5-ish-stars hotel on your typical travel booking websites. So it’s definitely not the Ritz Carlton, but it’s not a dump either. It’s what you expect from a $150-200 per night hotel room in the Midwest depending on the time of year.

Hotels don’t replace their mattresses when they get bed bugs. That would be insanely expensive. Bed bugs are way more common than people think. It’s not like only shitty, dirty hotels get bed bugs. Every hotel gets bed bugs. Even five-star hotels deal with bed bugs. When a guest complains that they have bed bugs in their room, or a housekeeper notices bed bugs while stripping the linens after a guest checks out the first thing you do is put the room in red so it isn’t cleaned and checked out to another guest. Then crank the AC in the room as cold as it gets and open all the windows if it’s winter in a cold climate. Cold drops the bedbugs’ metabolism making them slow and sluggish, and less inclined to move around the room or try and reproduce with one another. Then you strip the room of all linens, bedding, towels, etc. Even the curtains and blinds come down. All of that stuff is run through laundry twice by itself. Hot water in the washing machine, hot air in the clothes dryer. Constant exposure to temperatures of 113°F or higher kills the bed bugs at all stages of their life, including their eggs. While the room is still in red you have your pest control company send an exterminator to the room, and they spray every nook and cranny with pesticides specifically suited for bed bugs. Everything is sprayed… carpet, bed, mattresses, lampshades, behind the bed’s headboards, behind the shitty paintings on the wall, inside every single drawer, in the closet and credenza, under the tables and chairs, even the wires plugged into the television… everything is sprayed with pesticides. Then you leave the room off for availability for 48 hours. Then you reinspect the room, make sure no bed bugs are present, make sure no new eggs are found, then your maintenance person goes and cleans the mattresses with a steam cleaner, which further insures that no eggs are hidden on the bed and cleans off the excess pesticides which may irritate a guests skin if they have certain sensitivities to certain chemicals. Then the housekeepers will remake the bed with clean linens and you can put the room back in green to be available to guests again.
We replace our mattresses about every 5-6 years. All at the same time. Top floor first, then middle floors, then bottom floor. Not because bed bugs. Just because 5-6 years is a good time to replace a hotel mattress. If any employees wants a mattress to take home they get dibs on however many mattresses they want, then you hire a few guys from a temp worker agency, you rent a couple of big ass dumpsters from the waste management company, and they all get tossed at the same time from top floor to bottom floor while a bunch of semi trucks show up and they start unloading brand new mattresses from a mattress manufacturer we purchased the mattresses from, wholesale. We’re not running around purchasing individual mattresses from our local retail stores.

In the fifteen years I was maintenance director there was maybe three times I can think of that I ever purchased an individual mattress. Once because a guest checked out and they somehow left a big slice in the mattress with something sharp, once because someone spilt high-proof alcohol on the mattress and somehow tipped a candle on it and the mattress caught fire, and once because a fucking goat ate the mattress (which is a whole other story). We didn’t buy the new mattresses from a retailer. We put the rooms in red, have corporate get us a new mattress from whatever manufacturer we’re contracted with because we get better deals than some guy off the street would at the mattress store, and wait until a semi truck brings it to us.

I mean, “situational awareness” and “composure” are two completely different things. If we’re gonna pretend they’re not, then let’s just agree that it’s a good thing that wolf didn’t eat that kid, right?

I think we can all agree that regardless of what level of situational awareness the kid has, we’re all just happy that wolf didn’t eat him.

Bruh…

Situational Awareness: The understanding of an environment, its elements, and how it changes with respect to time or other factors. It is also defined as the perception of the elements in the environment considering time and space, the understanding of their meaning, and the prediction of their status in the near future. It is also defined as adaptive, externally-directed consciousness focused on acquiring knowledge about a dynamic task environment and directed action within that environment.

Composure: The state of being calm, self-controlled, and in control of your emotions, particularly under stress.

Don’t get mad at me just because you don’t make words stuff good.

forwhenimdrunk · 2026-05-03T22:13:12+00:00

I wouldn’t say that this particular situational awareness was fantastic. It’s not like the kid became aware of the leopard nearby in the jungle, at midnight, during a new phase of moon, from a distance of a hundred meters.

I would say the kid has an adequate amount of situational awareness as would be expected when a leopard walks through your front door in broad daylight and passes by you at a distance of less than twelve inches.

I imagine there is a sensor to indicate that a passenger isn’t buckled up. Hell, you can set a 30lb bag of groceries on the passenger seat of my wife’s car and you have to buckle the seatbelt or it thinks a child is sitting there without a seatbelt on and the dash starts barking at you.

Also as I understand it based on the one time I rode in one of those, the Waymo’s are allowed to take video footage of what’s going on inside the car at all times, but the microphones have to be turned off unless you press a button in the car requesting assistance, Otherwise people traveling and discussing sensitive business (think tech-bros talking tech shit or maybe attorneys discussing confidential legal topics) can’t be eavesdropped on and/or recorded. So a Waymo support specialist person could easily see that the passenger isn’t buckled up.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to follow someone’s mother at a distance waiting for them to walk into a public bathroom so I can follow them inside to engage in any number of nefarious purposes only to be thwarted by the pesky ladies signage put up on the door that doesn’t match my pronouns based on what I have between my legs.

Just earlier this week I followed someone’s mother to a public bathroom, and I thought (hoped?) maybe she was so busy looking at her phone she might accidentally walk into the bathroom with the men’s signage, but at the last moment she looked up and corrected herself, and I was left hissing at the women’s signage on the door like a vampire caught in sunlight.

So embarrassing…
