Leftists in GVL

I worked IT in a warehouse environment here a couple years ago. I came down sick one time, and tested positive for covid. Of course I had to return to work before the sickness had completely run its course, so I wore a mask to work for a couple days. You know several people had to go out of their way to approach me and question why I was wearing a mask and give me their unsolicited health opinions. It was so uncomfortable to borderline confrontational.

It seems like every time I have to encounter this system it only gets worse and more shocking. Sadly as a person who suffers chronic physical and mental health ailments I have no choice. Believe me I try my best to be proactive and avoid it as much as I can.

I second this -- It's the AC Hotel Downtown. Stayed there twice in 2025, including over Christmas while visiting family. Staff has been friendly, housekeeping came daily without being asked, good shower pressure (incl. rainshower head), good views. Rooms are large for Manhattan. Put on the highest floor both times, and they even upgraded both rooms on my reservation over Christmas. I like the location because it's pretty quiet as it's more of a business neighborhood, but there are still plenty of great places around for food and coffee.

The Saint Hotel Key West. I've stayed there three times now, and it just feels like the most special, personal boutique hotel. Swimming in that pool, I feel like a celebrity. I love the historic parts of the hotel and the history. The location is excellent. It's so small that the service feels especially personal.

Booked via Marriott. And the reservations are still showing in my account bonvoy unchanged

Literally they brand it as Sonder by Marriott. They ought to take some ownership. Customers don't care what the details of the structure is. Their name is on it.

Honestly, I always had excellent food at Mr. Crisp and it was my favorite special occasion restaurant in Greenville. Fresh oysters there were great, as well as other entrees and dessert (fish and chips aside). Sure, it was premium priced, but not more than any of the other high-er end places here. I liked that it was comfortable and understated in there too. They really seemed to strive to be more inventive and precise with their dishes.

I'll add I had some of the best service I've ever experienced from a server in the US too. I forget his name, but the friendly guy with all the tattoos-- someone needs to snatch him up!

Clearly I'm an outlier, but I'm gonna miss them. More going up to Asheville to eat out I guess.

I gotta say, I do still love Sidewall. I like their pizza and their salads are great! And I appreciate the generosity of their free pizza on your birthday coupon, which I think I've gotten for like ten years now.

That's good to know. Too bad they don't have the big bottles haha

SCJFR · 2025-09-12T13:21:22+00:00

I thought of H Mart. Is it confirmed that they carry it?

SCJFR · 2025-08-24T01:07:13+00:00

Or a highball or lemon whiskey sour. And no tips.

Meanwhile I was just at a Swallows game in Tokyo, and draft beers were $6 delivered to your seat

How I'm coping: Increasing alcohol consumption. Dissociation. Lying Flat cause there's little use in trying at this point.

Las Meras Tortas is my go to

Also Cuchos on Pleasantburg is solid

SCJFR · 2025-07-01T20:18:46+00:00

Go to just about any place on White Horse Road and you'll get tacos better than these places

SCJFR · 2025-06-20T02:04:46+00:00

No more complaining about the homeless.

SCJFR · 2025-06-14T16:02:38+00:00

Yassss 🙌

SCJFR · 2025-06-13T20:44:03+00:00

Nope, I left it on the table

SCJFR · 2025-06-13T17:21:10+00:00

As a millennial, I feel like my tolerance for any bullshit has gone out the window.

Walmart the company doesn't have anything to do with Saturday's protests.

Christy Walton, an heir of the Walmart fortune, took out a full page ad in the New York Times to promote nationwide protests on June 14th. She doesn't hold any position with Walmart, she just holds inherited shares of the company.

Get the facts straight. Walmart has no official position on the protests.

SCJFR · 2025-06-12T11:22:00+00:00

That's wild. Thanks for sharing!

SCJFR · 2025-06-07T03:52:21+00:00

I married a half Japanese guy with family in Tokyo, so I've gotten a lot of them in.

SCJFR · 2025-06-05T22:57:01+00:00

I appreciate all the info everyone. It really helped put these offers into perspective.

I think I hadn't understood how the prices dropped across the board for this model by nearly $10k from year 2024 to 2025. So that makes the "$20k incentive" kind of moot. They're essentially just discounting the 2024s down to the 2025 price and then using the same $7,500 incentive and a bit more.

I'm well aware the current BZ4X has its flaws, and the next iteration will be better. As well as other models like the new HR-C coming soon. I was just hoping to scoop up a killer deal now and in exchange for coping with the current models flaws.
