I appreciate the detail in the photo of leaving in the subject's weird fetish crap.
Always nice to see a long, overwritten and meandering article about some weird guy with a fetish doing some sort of thing no one cares about.
I think doing this kind of article would have made sense back when uh, Hunter S. Thompson was in his 30s or so, and there was no internet, etc.
Now I don't see the point. This is a very long piece about something that isn't worth reading about. Anyone who spends the time reading it will have a lesser existence as a result.
> “Well.” He takes a deep patient breath and looks around. “Y’know, uh, you’re an intelligent guy, and you’re hardworking, and yet, y’know, you didn’t have enough time to get through A Table for Fortune.”
> Our elbows graze and his windbreaker says “vwip,” “vwop,” the walk feeling almost like a jog until finally he slows, we’re getting ready to jaywalk
The little onomatopoeia feels quite forced and out of place here -- totally the wrong note. FWIW, AI really likes writing that kind of thing, and I wonder to what degree that's influencing actual writers.
