When I visited Florida, gringos were respectful of pedestrians most of the time. However, most of that place was roads and roads only. Truly a place made for cars.

How is your evening, Bernd? Are you enjoying yourself?

Art: tried mixing some cheap perfumes with some vape juices (Rever perfumes + The Perfumer's Apprentice vape concentrates)
IT/CS: got an old "gaming" laptop exactly like the one i had 14 years ago to add the extra notch of nostalgia to playing Flatout 2, Fallout 2 etc.
Diet: Harrier Du Bois moment: learned to take magnesium.
Now, here's trick: recently, my doctor taught me to consume potassium as well. Now I feel healthier, my shitty "black circles under eyes"
Clothing: i got a lot of pre-owned sweaters recently, which come with zippers.
Turns out those are starting from 100$ but not "too expencive"

This is a beautiful album cover.
What are your Midsummer plans this upcoming weekend, Bernd?
Personally I will be at my friends house where we will bath sauna and swim in the sea, barbeque and get drunk.
Then on Monday I will be heading out to the sea and sail for 2-3 weeks with 2 friends.

We sail along the coast from point A to B and then back to A and during that time we stop along different harbours to spend the night at. We get up early in the morning and head off, if one wants they can sail the whole day, but we prefer taking shorter trips between 6-12 hours so we are in good time at a harbour where we can wash ourselves, eat and rest. It's a holiday after all, we are there to have a good time. Some drinks will be had in said harbours, but we don't get shitfaced or stop in the middle of the sea.
What are those tell-tale signs you're in for a bad experience?
- "Everything is good here." This is a very big one because that really means absolutely nothing is good here. If a server who's been around for over a month can't name what the patrons enjoy or even notice the most commonly ordered dishes, then it's best to just order appetizers to be polite, pay the low tab and then excuse yourself.
- Jack-of-all-trades menus. In addition to the aforementioned issue of servers being unable to identify quality items, restaurants that have vast menus tend not to be good at anything they prepare. A good restaurant will have a much smaller menu with dishes they'll prepare adequately.
- Steak at a non-steakhouse. Almost always, the steak is guaranteed to be mediocre at the absolute best. Same goes for pizza at non-pizzerias. Very few exceptions to this.
- For Chinese joints, pictures of food on the wall. This almost always spells trouble. Bonus points for grubby carpeting.
- Places with ≤100 reviews AND/OR a Yelp score ≤3.5. I've been to absolutely awful places with great reviews but only a handful of ratings which means not enough people have tried it. A place needs at least 100 reviews to be worth your time, and the Yelp score needs to be preferably higher than 3.5 stars.
- When ≥50% of the patrons are geriatric, especially if they're from the silent majority or greatest generation. People in those demographics couldn't be less adventurous, and boy, do they love their food overcooked and bland. They were born in a time period where the world was much smaller and had a much more limited palate as the options were much fewer. They also tend to wince at anything spicier than black pepper or even smoked paprika.
- The presence of foodservice delivery trucks that aren't napkins or non-edible supplies. An instant dealbreaker for me is seeing a foodservice truck making deliveries to a particular place, especially if it's a Sysco, Aramark or Thomsen truck. You just know the food is going to be warmed over crap the storeowner ordered from one of those wholesalers. To call any storeowner who does this a "restaurateur" would be an insult to both restaurateurs and their establishments.

its actually pretty great that we got COVID-19 and developed technologies that can protect us from the next pandemic
Next pandemic is going to be like an evolitionary filter that will separate retards who refuse vaccines and masks from the high IQ people. High IQ people will survive, and retards are going to reffer to the COVID-19 and say that the new virus is just the flu. But it will be more deadly. It will be too late for them when they realize they coughing blood.
