Is Ricky Romo a bad guy, or just one that embraces means of being successful? Are they exclusive conditions?
He's a bad guy, he's dishonest and just a shit person, working against peoples interests to get what he benefits from. Everyone in that office is bad.
Romo isn't unscrupulous within the mission of his job though, and everyone who fails to meet his level fails in their job.
So is he bad? Or just competent in a shitty industry?
He's playing Johnathon Price's character in the movie, telling him shit he wants to hear to get him to spend beyond his means and agree to it. And when he's discovered he tried to lie his way until the bank accepted his paperwork and there was nothing he could do.
Romo is a bad guy.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Also apparently 7pm is the absolute worst time to go to a pub. There's no one here at all. Did we lose a war?
Yes?
Is it 7pm where you are at?
How is 7 a bad time to be out drinking?
According to my friendly barkeep, it's partly because it's Tuesday. Everyone goes out on Monday because it's he first day back from work and then is too banged out on Tuesday. Makes sense.
Also it's sunny out and apparently the Irish prefer to be outside to get cancer.
You're in Ireland?
Lucky you. I thought you were in Jersey. Go visit @Tav, and take your shirt off while taking a shit at his house.
He will appreciate it.
I am for the night. I would have met up with Tav if I had either more time in Cork or if I had time to make it to Dublin, but it's too quick a trip this time. I owe him a pint at least.
(i'm still not convinced that the qualities of high you can get from various strains are anything more than people being primed by descriptions)

when i went in the other day to get some flower i always ask them if they have any personal preferences
the guy said "well i don't really smoke to get high anymore, i just like the taste'
The parallels with baristas in terms of ranges in personality, level of expertise, etc are basically 1:1
I mean my preference would be for them to be the same person, but no one's cool enough for that so somehow we don't have the best possible business practice

It also depends on the dealer, most dealers have a type of strain they are offering and a price for quantities of that strain.
Some of the more boutique dealers will have some sealed jars and their growers will grow a few strains at a time.

I just saw an androgynous person in a topknot walk by
I think the topknot is too out there for a modern haircut
a topknot meaning, shaved on the sides, bun on the head? or something more extreme, like mostly shaved on top too except for the bun?
The former seems good, the latter is for artists only

Nobody is smuggling weed into the US any more, and in fact they're starting to find American high-grade headed south for consumption by affluent Mexican customers.
The last time I bought weed from A Guy, he had 3 different batches and the Leafly pages for each strain up for my perusal. He offered one of those illuminated desk magnifying glasses and I was able to try before buying, all while sitting in a recliner and listening to curated jazz.
It's about the experience as much as anything else.

The greatest tragedy here is zoning restrictions preventing me from opening a boutique cannabis tea house with traditional Japanese aesthetics and a room to consume each in relative silence, with only the occasional cough and the sound of gently running water to accentuate one's experience.
The SE++ thread seems mixed. It could be neat, but it's not quite the supernatural finger reflexes from the books.

In the movie he appears to have all his fingers.
It looks sweet man, and it never made sense in the books he reloaded fast. Being able to toss bullets in the air and have his revolvers catch them is very cool visually.

my friendly local dispensary doesn't do a bunch of Glengarry Glenn Ross sales shenanigans
that would be weird
i go in for the thing i like
they go okay here you go
it's a transaction from an establishment that sells products
two years ago in washington we went to a super professional place that was really helpful and weren't doing any weird upselling
this past christmas we went to a different one that was just the highest dude ever watching billy madison who was only upselling us in the sense that he kept getting distracted by different things and telling us how great it was because it was the thing he was looking at in that very second

Nah, baristas are still worse
Is there anything worse than a barista taking 30 seconds to draw an elaborate flower in foam in your drink... and then immediately slapping a plastic lid over it?
It's just them servicing their own pretension, and half the time they still can't make a decent drink.

Man-bun looks dumb. Like it could be redeemed as a top knot if they put effort into cleaning it up.

I did find the one I was looking for after digging around.
It's almost $5000 more expensive than if I custom ordered with the dealer, paid straight up sticker, and got negative value on my trade in.
Like I could stroll in and make all the worst decisions while buying it and still pay less.
