Friends in Las Vegas, please check in.
I'm watching the news from Vegas and the carnage from the area around Mandalay Bay and all I could think of was all the people we know in the area.
Just got a note from Kylie Maria assuring everyone that she is safe. Can we please get similar notes from the rest of our friends in Vegas?

NO! Luckily most people aren't communist enough to be whoring out attention from events like this by pretending how much they care about folks who they have never, most likely never will, or never would have met in their lives. If you know and care about one, you can surely call or visit them yourself.

Well since I live in Los Angeles and will be in Las Vegas later this weekend, I indeed WILL be visiting as many of them as time permits (it’s a work trip). However, many of the people Bearded One is referring to I (and other folks on this forum) know personally and they have already checked in via the various social media accounts, mainly Facebook and Twitter. Two young ladies even called ME to let me know they’re fine.
Fortunately almost all of said people in Las Vegas don’t live anywhere close to the Strip; pretty much all of them live on the west side and were in bed when the terrorist act occurred. All of them were grateful that people are worrying about how they are doing in this situation. Hell, some of them actually DID receive calls...multiple ones in fact.
Lots of people in the industry (and this scene in general) happen to live in an internationally known city that just witnessed a horrible act. Jumping on a person for worrying about the well-being of someone, whether they’re a stranger to that person or not, is kinda shitty. Believe it or not not all of the people here are just chasers glossing over the girl with the biggest dick; some of us actually ARE considerate of how they’re doing in the real world...and this evil act unfortunately IS the real world.

So I guess Solidarity just ain't your thing?
Re: Friends in Las Vegas, please check in.
With Redvex being brought up in a communist dictatorship she will know about Solidarity not the fake tears, hashtags and petitions we have after these atrocities
She is right in her post
Re: Friends in Las Vegas, please check in.
Sorry, but Red Vex is absolutely wrong. I have been on this forum over 10 years and have made a lot of friends on here. This would be the first place I would check for news that some people are ok.
I know Ben well and while I have not met B1 irl, I consider him a friend. His concern is genuine. I met Ruby on here and found out information about her passing here. Yeah I met her irl as well.
I literally have made scores of friends on here who I have then met, partied with, had over to my house or been to their house.
Ain't shit fake about our concern and our friendship.
I know Red Vex is friends with Nikki so I assume she is cool. But in this case, wrong.
Re: Friends in Las Vegas, please check in.
Well, that took a surprising turn.
Re: Friends in Las Vegas, please check in.
Friends do not need boards like this, or any public boards for that matter, to check on each-other.
As for Solidarity, it was just another communist con aimed at making people believe something was changing and calm things down. There is a nice sketch about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqA_Ao8mpBQ but you need to speak Polish and know a bit about history to understand it. Wordplay in this one is a masterpiece...
Re: Friends in Las Vegas, please check in.
Looks like we have a rebel in here. How edgy. *rolls eyes*

Your dismissal of Solidarity as a 'communist con' is verifiable rubbish. You are free to use social media like HungAngels when it meets your needs, and to dismiss it as an irrelevance when it does not.
