Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

You got so much right with this post. The basic unit of time for sale at an FKK is in 30 minute increments, with most of the patrons being locals who tend to go for 30 minute sessions without a lot of extras, not well-heeled international travelers flying in with much larger budgets. It's those locals who lean heavily towards 30 minute sessions (they comprise the vast majority of the customers) who really got slammed by 100/30. Those guys are the ones who make up the bread and butter base clientele, and if they stop going to the clubs then in the end the clubs will fail and close up their zimmers for good. The FKK model started out very nicely for everyone I think, but between government meddling and provider / pimp greed it's all going downhill.

"Clubs will fail and close up" - is that a definitive prediction? When will this happen? And which clubs will close? Or is that a prediction for which there is no timeline and you can take credit whenever any club closes no matter how far out in the future?

Provider / pimp greed. As opposed to the monger greed, wanting all for 50 forever?

I guess everyone is an expert here about this subject of pimps.

Government meddling. I already mentioned it in my very first posting. That set the ball rolling. But of course the CCP dumbfuck had to invent some cartel conspiracy theories.

There is either a case of denialism or lack of awareness going on here, probably both.

Justify: To deem reasonable.

Even without all of the inflation discussion blah blahs, the poster made explicit comments stating that since locals were paying these extortion level rates, then tourists are also cleared to do so. It's pretty cut and dry that the poster believes that he is justified in paying these extortion rates because others are doing it.

You do like to not merely misrepresent but completely make up the position of the other side, then argue against that. This is one more reason you flunked out of GTech.

I said visitors should not screw up prices for locals. It is just courtesy. I didn't distort the prices. The prices were already set. I paid the prevailing local prices.

You bragged you visited the clubs far more often than I did / do. What did you pay in the last year at Sharks? Did you pay 100430 and 150460? Or you came out not having shagged anyone?

The poster takes issue with my statement declaring that he is justifying paying these current prices, yet poster clearly explicitly makes various comments that promote accepting the current pricing. Statements like "it is what it is. " Statements that try to ameliorate the actual 2 x price hike by using specific examples and conditions of international mongers who make trips taking 1 hour plus rooms with extras, a small population compared to the typical 30 minute German roomer. Statements that declare the situation acceptable by claiming (falsely) that the locals are "gladly" paying these prices when in fact attendance is down and mongers are taking less and shorter rooms. There are statements that point out the previously stagnant price of rooms and there are statements that point to a higher inflation rate in Romania than the west. These are all statements that, from one angle or another, clearly attempt to justify succumbing to the arbitrary price hikes that are orchestrated by a bunch of Eastern European sex workers and their pimps who have clearly overextended their money grab. It seems clear that the poster does not realize or consider that the average German FKK visitor is more likely to be a blue collar worker or a fixed income retiree than a high-earning, international monger. Allusions equating shelter and energy cost which are essential goods to luxury, leisure sex services seems at best to be a misguided stretch to further justify a ridiculous price hike. The conclusions and assertions clearly come from a narrow set of life experiences, consistently lacking consideration and insight into actual viewpoints of humans who do not share his same background and worldviews.

You mistake an explanation for justification and support. It's like a flat earth Neanderthal who accuses you of trying to make the earth round when told it is not flat.

ChatGPT, show me 3 examples of dumb things people post on the internet.

But being a tool does make his seem like less of a nihilist himself.

But I suspect that is not the case. It can also point to hierarchical cultist behaviors found in destructive psychological cults who use rituals, ceremonies, objects and a pyramid structure where the leaders word is the law.

This destructive sentiment which has its tentacles around most of the world like in some Lovecraftian sci fi horror is what makes AI dangerous when all it does is learn from us. We are it's parent.

And that can be the end of the world. Potentially.

For AI to flourish, we must get rid of all these nihilist monotheistic cults.

Did you take inspiration from my rant post regarding the Nihilists who are behind the current AI models when writing this?

Yes, Pessimist does seem like just yet another Nihilist. And there are too many of them. I hope we get a smart AI who can subdue these narcissistic nihilists. I will cheer it on!

The only way to survive the AI world takeover is to be on the side of the AI. Mark my words.

Nonono, it only shows your CCP mentality in terms of copy pasting western ideas. Ad Nauseum.

Bahahaha. Of all the retorts that alluded to this guy being someone who no one likes, this dude removes all doubt and responds with, "well my boss invited me to dinner. " What a miserable existence of a one dimensional and unremarkable tool.

It's clear that you are someone who believes in a social class heirarchy, a caste system one may say. People like you need not ever have power for it's people like you, those who are arrogant yet unremarkable, who allowed the rise of Trumpianism by not recognizing the grievances of a hell of alot of other people. It's the mindset of people like you who leave room for internal decay of society.

Nice observation! Perhaps the most insightful sentence I've seen from you. It's not quite a copy but I sure was channeling my inner Robin Williams as I was writing that sentence. It's my favorite movie! What's yours? I bet it's The Lion King part 2.

Their students do very well on high school math and StEm tests but by the time they are adults and when it counts, they become rigid, bureaucratic / sclerotic and can't produce much. Hence the perpetual low growth in Europe.

If anything, this is worse of a statement than I've made here on the forum. Obviously.

But ofcourse you are somewhat right. Just like I am. But the reason for it is more complicated than how you describe it.

[Pistons]

Personally I think any statement that claims "country X people are more intelligent than people of Country Z" is dumb but you say you are in sympathy with that statement. You proceeded to print a ton of shit about the lower standards of US schools. He did not compare our educational standards to theirs, he compared some undefined quality called intelligence and claimed Germans had superior intelligence. Whatever that means.

A computer runs faster when it's cold. Our brains are computers. USA has warmer climate than Germany. The neural networks in German brains thus runs smoother. In average.

ChatGPT, write a 38 word statement that a socially challenged man would say:

It would probably come up with something related to smoking weed.

[Pistons]

While the intent of his statement is obviously malicious and the overall statement is at best dubious,

Nothing malicious about my intent. You pretty much summed up what I was thinking, probably through using GPT-4 in the process, except you added some ridicule about social intelligence. Which is higher in northern Europe than in the USA. But you need to know the culture and norms first. I suspect it is at least as high in Germany also. But you need to know the language 110% in order to compare properly.

I wrote Zurich is richer than US and even in Zurich, falling business in Globe making boss turning mad, when he is not able to understand about falling quality in his main club, he watch too much porn which is cheap sex, not 300 for 1 hour.

But the Swiss model cannot be duplicated since they act as a tax haven, leeching off of other countries in the world. The amount of German, French, Italian, Scandinavian, Russian and other rich billionaires who have moved to Switzerland in order to avoid taxes are staggering. In a sane world, Switzerland should be sanctioned by everyone else. But it won't happen as long as they have Davos and BiS (Bank of International Settlement) there. In terms of finance, they are cheaters even worse than the banks in bed with Ny Fed. And on line with Cayman Islands, Malta, Bahamas, Singapore and the rest of the fraudster gang.

You went on and on about chatgpt above. Probably used it on an iPhone or at worst a phone with Android OS. Were these German made?

There are a bunch of Germans and French and Aussies and even Romanians who started tech firms in the US and became insanely rich. None of them are going back. If they are good enough, the smart German techies actually want to be in the US where they can make a difference and make a buck for themselves.

That I can agree on!

The US system, especially on the west coast is far superior to anything we have in europe when it comes to startups and mentality on building tech enterprises. It is a massive problem for Europe, but also a bit difficult to get out of as well when American companies have a tendency to buy out much of what tech Europe has in store. Ofcourse silly European tech entrepreneurs usually just take the cash and leave, instead of staying for the long haul watching the price increase by a ten fold.

Entrepreneurship in the USA is what saves USA these days. And it brain drains even smart Russians and smart Chinese who are theoretical enemies on the field otherwise. It is far more than an easier banking or exelerator system in order to get funded. It is culturally. But mainly a US west coast culture.

Unfortunately Silicon Valley Bank went up in smoke because other banks didn't want to lend it more money. I suspect they wanted Silicon Valley Bank to fall in order to pick up the valuable pieces now that we are about to see a boom in AI tech startups. Many of whom were funded by Silicon Valley Bank. They took the risk, and should be rewarded. Too bad really, and it is not good for the long haul of the US funding culture to not help them out in terms of bank to bank loans.
