Has anyone else noticed how dead most bars/clubs are now?

a few hundred dollars takint their families to watch the 2 biggest movies of the summer
How big are these families? Partner, step daughter, and I recently went a three tickets, three drinks, and three snacks was less than fifty quid.
Quid… not sure what they charge for movies over there but here in the states it’s $50 per person for a full ride. Take a regular family with 2 adults and 2 kids, $50 each. That’s where I got the number.

When they made it illegal to smoke it pubs and clubs in the UK, it did a right number on that industry.
wrote last edited by [email protected]The first few months I was whining about government overreach. Since then I have come to realize what a true boon to humanity the ban really was.
Now I can't even fathom how anyone in their right mind would think smoking inside is a reasonable thing to do.
Edit: also, yeah, people stopped going to bars and drinking after the ban?? LOOL

You gotta watch out for that dangerous black ice, it’s transparent and sneaky
That black ice creeping into our neighborhoods, making the streets unsafe!

How were they?
Blocky and blue.

I just read some article about how Germany has supposedly been experiencing a decline in the club scene for some years, and how there's a word for it.
kagi
Not the article I was thinking of, but the word is clubsterben.

Is Berlin in a 'club death' spiral?

All in all, this doesn't surprise me. Things are getting very bad
And we're still in the good times. My therapist asks me why my scores for happy/hopefulness are low and the anxiety/depression scores are high every week, and I can't help but gesture wildly at the state of the world.
Fucking figures that I'd get 2008'd again right as I start getting my life together.
Man I feel you. I started therapy a little over a year ago and mental health has improved a thousand fold, but I feel like it's too late and the country is only a few years away from falling completely.

Schools don't make money on domestic students, so a drop in domestic enrollment isn't a major issue as long as foreign enrollment and research stays constant.
Which school are we talking about specifically hrrr

I remember just a few months ago bars and clubs being super packed and now there's hardly anybody at them. What's going on?
Edit: I'm in the Los Angeles area
wrote last edited by [email protected]I've noticed that general traffic in the Central Florida area, where traffic is usually among the very worst on the entire East Coast, has been much lighter lately.
We know that cops are profiling people, and pulling over Hispanics for false reasons, so my speculation is that people are staying off the roads except when absolutely necessary.
I also believe that Hispanic parents are telling their kids to stay in the house with their friends, and not go out and drive around. Remember when you were a teen, and would drive all day because at least you were out of the house and away from the parents? If those kids get in some trouble, it could easily find its way back to the parents, and the next thing you know, the entire family is on its way back to Honduras. So parents are warning their kids of the serious consequences of even a minor issue.
I think a lot of people are laying low.

Fewer tourists from other nations would be a contributing factor. ICE in general may be more. Perhaps economy isn't as great as our Fuhrer wants us to think.

All of them in the USA.

Tourism would be a thing, yeah.
Who in their right minds would go visit the US, knowing full well you might end up in a torture prison for a year just because you wanted to have a week of fun in the US?

Private school charging 40k per annum is not turning profit?
Out of state public school tuition also doesnt make money?
Where is the money going?
-
Most private universities provide significant aid to students; they actively engage in price discrimination.
Out of state tuition earns more than in-state, but there are additional fees that foreign students pay.
As for the money, it goes into a lot of the facilities and university operations. Universities are big clout chasers, so they will try to spend money to increase prestige.

No, but I only go to bars for events. Here where I live the bars I go to are packed

So with decreasing enrollment they will have to fire admin parasites... The horror

Not really no. The ones I go to are busy as ever.

not just ice, but border/custom detainment, requiring review of your phone of any anti-trump, anti-zionist material, which already deter tourist, plus canadians dont like trump constant messaging of invading thier country.
That's true, international tourism is down across the country, not just domestic tourism.

Superman and Fantastic 4
Ah. Fair enough. The last big budget film I saw in theaters was endgame. During the late stage of it's original run.
I think I saw a Neil Breen movie in one since.
