(Reevue Al-Dente) ”While the filet of beef curtain was dressed and presented well laying across a playfully ironic bed of virgin-white rice, I didn’t find the taste particularly pleasing. Hints of macadamia nut and a football locker room frat dare sponsored by Brazzers races across the palette as if to scream “YOLO” on the way down. And the wine? Who knew vineyards were fermenting penicillin. Recommend, but I’d go lighter on the freshly ground STD to allow the wine vapors to outgass. Although they do not offer parking validation with this dish, there is a free blood screening included 30 days post-dining as a parting gift.”

Quite frankly, I do believe this is sensationalism that has in fact gone wrong. The sensationalism of narcissism.

If Michelin-rated restaurants didn’t have to do this in the past and they now feel obligated to, then it’s likely more a move to filter out certain unfavorable clientele they don’t wish to deal with.

The Michelin star, is what should be filling seats. If it IS and you’re forced as an owner/operator to do this extra step, then we know what the hell the real story is. They’re not getting to know customers better. They’re filtering out the arrogant narcissistic fucks who don’t give a shit about respecting the work that goes into such an establishment and are more there to create a scene, not enjoy an experience.

Let’s just clarify something first. For the decades of targeted sales and marketing that existed before social media junkies started bitching about how their addiction to narcissism makes them unfairly vulnerable, this practice was simply called “data mining”. Or “intelligence”.

Only in the nonsensical era of social media mass addiction do we assume a rabid narcissist who simply can’t stop talking about themselves online could somehow be labeled as a victim of “spying” when anything other than a fan happens to stumble across their entire persona that is very online for profits sake.

Probably the entire point when paying for dining at a Michelin-rated restaurant. This ain’t fucking Chilis.

Ever wonder how many people who harmed or killed themselves with alternative treatments could have been saved if only the mRNA vaccine manufacturers didn’t try and hide every shred of trial evidence proving how safe their vaccine was?

You’re right. They aren’t perfect. And THAT was the fucking honesty every victim citizen was asking for. They got marketing instead.

How does this look from Nintendos perspective? Is the problem of piracy worth this anti-piracy effort? Sounds like they assist victims better than most mega-corps do.

What is the cost of doing nothing? Depends. If the MIG flash theft process is about as complex as ripping and burning a CD, then I guess you can expect a fair amount of loss. Enough to take action. Being a doormat in this world, comes with predictable results. Don’t be a fucking doormat.

If EPA estimates are just over 500 miles, I’d expect reality hauling around a lot more than a downhill demonstration did to deliver 10-20% less than that, based on weight and the fact I’m talking about a 500-mile Alaskan road trip to Grandpas cabin in January.

Yeah. That real world. The one we actually have to drive in. Sorry, but reality is gonna have to prove this is some kind of anxiety-eliminating game changer. I don’t see it. And when I road trip, I actually drive. 650+ miles a day is easily done solo.

Call me when I’m hot-swapping the EV battery at the swappin’ station en route. Not sure why we are even thinking in any other direction. We live in a world full of impatient narcissists who will gladly brag about paying more for convenience and go broke doing it. It’s either a hot-swap future or a hot-swap future for EVs. The 1,000-mile EV in the hands of GenZ will become a smartphone battery. Always at 3% charge at the worst time every week while bitching as to why we don’t have 2,000 mile EVs yet.

Now there's one hell of a way to sell a six-figure MSRP. Or a GT badge.

Based on actual value in reality, every car they make is a $50,000 car. They just don’t know it yet.

This test measures EV capacity about as well as a glider measures how far it can fly solo. After being shoved out of the ass-end of a C-17 Globemaster at 30,000 feet.

My complaints about a looming Recession have little to do with politics. We have a definition of a recession. We also have definitions for corruption and bankruptcy too. Do you think “definitions” are any more capable of preventing the very thing they define simply because we created one? Do you think the Great Depression happened because we didn’t have a good enough definition of “recession” back then?

Doesn't matter which liar is in office. I’m more focused on the previous brain-dead liar because lying about a Recession for too long (as Democrats did), is exactly what can lead us right into a Great Depression. Before most people can stop denying anything bad is going on, because media marketing and spin. Like, right now. Doing their best to not conform or deny that a recession might be clickbait-worthy enough to start talking about in a less-than-classified manner.

Do you really think the average person doesn’t feel any financial struggle until at least two fiscal quarters have passed to tell them? Trying to use the definition of a recession, is almost as stupid as limiting its definition with math. Becomes instantly pointless in the moment. No definition will end a depression either.

No. Everything is not going great. No. It wasn’t great under Biden either. No. Shit-slinging politics, doesn’t fix it. Action does. Let’s stop believing the liars and instead open our eyes. From fake news to fake business fronts to fake jobs to fake jobs. Start fucking asking WHY instead of bitching about “regimes” under “Trumpistan”. That stupid shit only makes people want to deport you to Actual-stan so you can see and live your ignorance. I suggest you get that long-TDS treated given the winds of change. Democrats are still trying to dissect how to speak to the “toxic” man they love to hate while struggling to figure out what a “woman” is. I don’t see the Double-Down Democrat party winning much of anything other than Darwin Awards for a while.

Good specific example. Hell of a way to help justify the requested move.

You go to DC and Cape for reasons. You go to Boca for reasons. You either justify those reasons and go, or you don’t. You either want to go badly enough to Boca, or you don’t. It really is that much of a no-brainer. Space launches will likely become daily events in the near future. You either want to see a space launch, or you don’t. Not gonna see it in DC.

You say that assumption with confidence. As if you know the existing costs for an organization to warehouse a massive object in one of the most expensive places in the entire country to do it. A place that is likely in need of a deep audit first to prove your assumption.

Not sure why no one assumes to ask the obvious questions. Perhaps this suggested move is more about auditing the costs of the status quo. DC real estate is a hell of a lot more costly to the taxpayer. And has been for decades. All the more reason to know what taxpayers are paying.

No. I’m arguing your obvious political bias has about as much value as fucking girl math.

You expect me to believe a DC museum can’t be corrupt? A place defined by our very tax system that shows off money laundering as art? Literally?

Prove me wrong. Dare audit the status quo. THEN we can bitch about costs. Accurately. DC isn’t just a swamp. It is THE Swamp. I don’t mind being wrong. I mind when people assume and don’t ask relevant questions. It’s what allows organizations like Smithsonian to grow into giant behemoths, demanding the most prime real estate.

If this article proves anything, it’s that the American GDP is now fully reliant upon Americans wasting money incessantly buying stupid shit they don’t need, marketed to them all day, every day. There is a saturation limit. Even for the addicted.

A brain-addled President and equally unqualified VP created Bidenomics and pretended to run the most powerful (marketing) economy on the planet for the last four years. We watched tens of thousands get laid off then. Still watching it happen today, with layoffs being reported here damn near daily. Companies posting fake jobs just to make it look like they’re busy and hiring but not really. Massive chains of stores (UK candy shops are the latest) that force into question every money laundering law we have on the books due to lack of customers. Wall Street turned into one of our worst house of cards yet. While others propose a $30 minimum wage for an answer.

Do we really think the American GDP marketing engine would ever even let it slip that a Recession has been going on for months or years now? That information would be highly classified trade secret sauce by any other measure. Do we really assume QE printing presses running 24/7 while vehemently marketing Recession denial is exactly how we avoid another Great Depression? I seriously doubt it.

The cost is what? Cheaper for both native and international visitors? Yeah. I agree.

Geographically and financially advantageous is how one would describe Houston accurately. How many people can afford to visit DC in a good financial year? Not like your hotel is gonna be in the District.

Before we talk about how “wasteful” a move would be, dare as what the cost is to support the status quo. You act as if longstanding waste simply cannot exist in the MANY Smithsonian contracts and support agreements. For all we know, $85 million might be the fucking current annual budget. Rather obvious DC ain’t cheap. For corrupt reasons. Let’s not be ignorant about costs until we AUDIT.

Oh, cmon now. You say that as if you barely recognize a single fly-by-night brand name anymore.

Don’t you remember playing with all those toys from XXzzizz industries when you were a kid? And who could forget the Froxfftjjd fridge? Those SixZzrUs lawn darts were the real pokey ones..
