Well, it didn't rain ... yet.

Congratulations!

SMdA is a conservative behavior community. Many gays and lesbians either live or visit there, but mostly in a reserved manner. I don't think there are any massage places, gay or straight. Grindr is active there, but I didn't attempt any hook-ups.

Many, probably most ... but I'm thinking (but don't know) some are people in the USA without permission.

As we learned in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations: some of the provocateurs were plants from right-wing organizations. So it's not just the left, but the extreme right.

I love this guy, and his videos.

There are always provocateurs infiltrating and looking for the opportunity to provoke violence - overshadowing those peacefully or non-violently exercising their rights to protest. Anarchists oftentimes believe if they provoke violence and innocent demonstrators are roughed up by police, arrested, the masses will rise up and overthrow whichever government they protest. It's part of the playbook ... and President Trump is just waiting for situations such as this to exercise his authoritarian tendencies.

Tanglefoot.

Yes. They're stand-alone someone in the middle of the floor of the restaurant.

Apples to oranges comparison, IMO.

I'm an active contributor to Trip Advisor, with 120+ restaurant and hotel reviews. I often book lodging with booking.com and post reviews. Inexperienced travelers likely have difficulty distinguishing bogus reviews from the real, honest one; I don't.

Yes. McDonalds has been changing its interior store designs. Gone are the self-service beverage service. Counter help are also running orders to pick-up orders outside. Drive thru and Uber eats pick-ups are the priority. The company has done its prioritization. So have I.

R.I.P., Mr. White.

I think the cruise line did / does want your feedback, but whomever decided to request it didn't know that particular cruise's demographics. Here's something similar; not really, but a comparison: I frequent my local McDonalds in Florida at breakfast maybe 3 times a week (Egg McMuffin, Sausage McMuffin or Hotcakes and a potato and drink). The demographics of the eat-in clientele is probably 80% in the 65+ age group. Starting this week all eat-in customers can only order from one of the two self service kiosks. Counter orders are not being taken. I know how to use the kiosk, but certain variations from what's listed aren't unavailable or are difficult to locate. English muffin well-done (because their toasting device only warms the muffins); light ice in a soft drink; etc. When I stopped in and was refused counter service several other customers were heard complaining about the kiosks. So, I walked out and went across the street to Wendy's where the breakfast sandwich was as good and the "meal" cost 2 dollars less. This, too, is an example of how the management of a business (this particular McDonalds) doesn't understand its clientele.
