  • 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.









  • What a weird thing to be bothered by; Americans are so… shuffles deck…dumb with sports team names. I’ve seen quite a few like this lately, it’s kinda funny.

    Anyway, I’ll admit there are some dumb names, especially in semi pro but how can you argue names like Raiders, Patriots, Eagles, 76ers, 49ers, Rangers, Trailblazers, etc. My personal stupid favorites are the Lakers (as in bodies of water) from Los Angeles, they moved from Minneapolis in the 60s and then the Utah Jazz, um Utah…Jazz? Yeah, they moved from New Orleans in the 70s. You’d be hard pressed to find any natural lakes in LA and I’d guess the jazz scene in Utah is underwhelming (never been there myself).

    US cities don’t buy teams. Rich fucks do and move them to what they presume to be a more profitable and/or friendly market.

    What’s hilarious to me about US sports is the soccer (yes, in the US it’s called soccer, I don’t make the rules) teams trying so hard to act like they’re European teams. Cmon folks, you aren’t an FC, you’re an SC.


  • 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.
