Jax Joon closing, Sweet Mickey’s to take its place

Ohhhhhhh… well that proves you right! Wait. No it doesn’t, does it? You have this belief that if you just keep typing more nonsense it becomes credible because of how much you typed.

What do you even think “virtue signaling” is? Do you think it’s an all-purpose term to describe anything you don’t like?

It’s one of those alt-right phrases you heard, and now you use it in competently random ways. It’s like a Smurfs cartoon: “That smurfing smurf got smurfed! Smurf along!” “The virtue-signaler virtue signaled the virtue signal!” It’s gibberish because you don’t know what you’re saying. You saw Milo Yiannopoulous or one of those creeps use it and you’re trying to be like him. Also: “cuck”. “The cucking cuck got cucked. Cuck along!” Whether you say smurf or cuck or virtue signal, it’s gibberish if you don’t know what the words mean.

Words mean things. It matters. Truth and lies are not interchangeable. There’s consequences to your perpetual misrepresentation of yourself and of basic facts. People hold you accountable and that doesn’t make you an innocent victim.

“it was you who was proven incorrect”

Proven? How? Where? What proof? You offered no proof at all. You decided to “shout harder and longer”, which, we can agree, amounts to nothing. You’re making stuff up, pretending to know everything about subjects you have no knowledge or experience of.

Can you even define what you think “virtue signaling” means? From what I can tell, it means whatever you want it to be, and can serve as any part of speech. It’s one of your ‘smurf’ words.

You made five claims:
1. they clear the RV’s out about once a month
2. they’re gone for a week, then they come back
3. first one, then two, then the entire street
4. they had to permanently close off that side entrance to the store
5. because of the goods that were being taken offsite by ‘the people’

The only evidence you have for any of this wild speculation and hyperbole is that a changing room door is locked. Everything else, you made up.

Brittney Geleynse said very clearly that the reason for closing Jax Joon is that managing two stores became too much work. Thefts? RVs? Nobody said anything about any of that. All that is from your imagination.

Based solely on a locked changing room. You’re a paranoid loon with a wild imagination. You take one tidbit of information and blow it up into your same tired, old, sad RV/junkies/theives/urban decay bullshit.

Jax Joon’s space will not be empty. They have a new business lined up even before it closed. Businesses are clamoring for the chance to be here in Ballard. That fact alone contradicts everything you say.

So you have nothing of any relevance to say about Jax Joon closing and having a new store come in hot in its heels. You were just trying to shoehorn in your usual complaints about RVs and junkies and make unfounded accusations about them.

Here’s a thought: shoplifting happens at stores that don’t have any RVs or tents or panhandlers for miles and miles. Housed people with jobs and families and cars shoplift. But for you, it always has to be about one thing.

Look around at any urban park you want. How many of them have a foofy expensive delicacy boutique immediately adjacent? That kind of place might do well next door to an antique shop and a dress boutique, but not a city park. Sweet Mickey’s sells handmade chocolate fudge that costs — for ONE serving — $24.00! Twenty Four bucks! Hello? A mid-range coffee shop, pizza by the slice, or a low-priced ice cream or burger joint — Little Coney near the boat launch by Golden Gardens being a perfect example — is much more likely to do well next door to an urban park. Sweet Mickey’s always looked odd located in that spot. Clover toys or The Walrus and the Carpenter would also look out of place there. And even then, most small businesses don’t last for decades. It’s a tough market and many of them can only make a run of three or four or five years. Sweet Mickey’s did six solid years right there. To me that’s basically success. I would expect they will do even better in a more appropriate context for that kind of store. Twenty four dollars for a bite of fudge. Do people take… Read more »

Oh, my mistake — it’s $24 per POUND of fudge, not one serving. Makes no difference. It’s way out of the price range of people hanging out in the park.

Has no one ever explained to you how a forum like this works? If there’s somebody you don’t want to talk to, DON’T ASK THEM QUESTIONS. If you reply to them, they will probably reply to you.

If two people are replying to each other, and you don’t want to read what one of them is saying, DON’T READ THAT THREAD, numbnuts. Somebody argues with me, I’ll probably argue back. Don’t want to hear from me? Then don’t keep on arguing.

Don’t want to read me arguing with someone else? READ SOMETHING ELSE.

I’m sorry you’re this stupid, sockmaster, but it’s your own fault. Pull your head out of your ass and make less stupid choices.

You have no idea who is and isn’t a junkie, Scott. Regardless of who or what they are, if you’re having to “dodge” them, your’e riding too fast. Slow down before you hurt somebody.
