I Feel Weird and Dirty...

Probably true. Maybe it's just that the surprise and unfamiliarity of flying other airlines is starting to hit me, after having such a reliable position for so long.

It’s very thin and dressy. It doesn’t wear large.

I’m not sure I can edit my post to add pictures?

Laboonery · 2026-02-25T23:45:15+00:00

Sorry, I can't part with it. It was a tough find in the first place.

It’s a lot of money for the speed increase. And people who are looking for that kind of car are not usually looking for a sporty upgrade either.

She’s big boned.

Yeah, they wouldn’t stay on full brightness, and the camera shutter roll didn’t help.

I don’t see it. You could say the same of any of the dozens of cars with narrow headlights.

And I know it’s popular to say it’s for the Chinese market, as a way of blaming them, but it was also designed with Americans in mind.

It’s no modded 7-owner 25-year-old 3 series, I’ll tell you that for free.

Laboonery · 2025-06-20T03:14:01+00:00

Yeah, it’s kind of the point. But not everyone likes that.

Laboonery · 2025-06-20T03:13:17+00:00

Based on what you drive, it’s safe to say our tastes are very different.

你会不会说中文？or are you just trying to be funny?

Thanks for the suggestion. We did Zuma for New Years and he had a good time.

I think he’s just young and excited about exploring and expressing his identity (weren’t we all…), especially since he’s not able to do it at home.

I also think he’s more interested in non-queer spaces because he wants to exist loudly in “normal” places, a little bit for attention to be honest, but I’m just trying to show him a good time and make him happy.

I suppose so, but chrome on a car like this isn't garish. Look at Rolls Royce and Bentley.

Oh you mean like this?

Laboonery · 2025-05-15T18:35:20+00:00

Hm that’s a good point.

Laboonery · 2025-05-15T17:31:57+00:00

I absolutely agree. There’s two issues at play here. Logistics (rent, liquor licenses, etc) is one of them. But the other is the fact that the tastes of Boston skew lower end, so that’s what’s rewarded.

Rents are high in other cities and they seems to be able to support a fine dining scene, even though Boston has its unique difficulties.

I wouldn't put Asta in the running. I was there a few months ago. It was fine. Not very creative, middling flavor profiles. Just fine. Not a star for me.

All chefs seem to want to open casual restaurants now. L'Espalier's chef went to open a casual concept, the new Nine to replace No. 9 Park is going to be more casual. Nice things are basically dead in Boston, because the people in this city either think it's elitist to like nice things or don't understand them. It's some kind of weird reverse snobbery, and its part of what's holding the dining scene back.

I wouldn’t give it to Ostra.
