  • I quit going to Subway when they changed their whole menu. I went and asked for a spicy italian, blank stare from the employee, “uh, that’s not on the menu”. I said “Okay” and left. The menu wasn’t structured to “make your own” thing not on the menu. Subway was never spectacular food but serviceable, quick, and fairly inexpensive. Not the case anymore, and the weird shit they’ve advertised lately looks awful. FFS, ad are supposed to make things look better than they are, so if these ads look better than the real thing, it must be dreadful irl.





  • We’re gonna have some 3rd party candidate votes, we always do, and most of those people are already dug in for their candidate; likely nothing to be done about that. I know I was in my Ron Paul, Bernie Sanders days. I voted for Nader once or twice and couldn’t have my mind changed.

    At this point, many of the fence sitters will likely not vote at all, debate or not. It’s very easy for people to be meh about the whole thing. It doesn’t directly impact them in the short term directly, at least in their minds. And I get it. Life can be hard, and many people have more pressing concerns than who the president is at the moment.

    Nearly everyone else who will vote is already solidly Trump or Harris, and maybe a few Kennedy folks.


  • I’ve always hated the phrase “bad actors.” It’s a meaningless descriptor.

    The two sides do not operate the same, necessarily, or hold the same views. But both are oppressive and corrupt in their own ways. It’s not even debatable.

    I’m firmly in the D liberal camp, but I don’t lie to myself that those Ds in power actually give a shit about me or people like me. Their interests are in securing their own money/power structure. Sure, sometimes that trickles down to help us common folk, but it’s just an accidental side effect.

    I’ll definitely vote like lives depend on it, but, unfortunately, how folks vote depend on who’s lives they find important to save; that’s not as straightforward as it should be.
