You all have no experience in living in more authoritarian regimes…even authoritarian democracies….

I have seen all this before…multiple times…you all haven’t…so you apply the standard paradigm to these things: profit, relevance, ratings etc

In authoritarian regimes the media that doesn’t cozy up to the ruler disappears.

if Penthouse now only has pictures of women eating lunch in fancy restaurants. 

Are you suggesting an alternate reality wherein Julian’s Penthouse exists? I want whatever this guy is on.

Haven't you lived in the US for 30+ years? I think politics/media/etc. is a bit different now than 1990s Argentina?

I mean, to be fair, he is asking you a question -- he isn't claiming he knows everything.

Capitol City Brewing Co.

Sorry sidemalt

[Phanick!-Hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

this one...I will agree with you...they had a mediocre product, mediocre food
the one closed by me and I couldn't care less

3 stars and rock bottom had some decent brews (and RB some decent food)
but other than it was one of the earliest in the area, CC Brewing, I never understood what the appeal was
