    Right? Even if that’s a really suboptimal use of one of those, that’d be a great way to show them off if nothing else.

    If I was in the market for one of those things (which… hell no!) and I entered an outlet for them and the first thing I see is a clean floor with one of the little fuckers buzzing around? Fuckin sold. (except hell no)



  • Seeing a lot of hate for their food… I haven’t been to a subway in probably over a decade (or two, even…), but I don’t remember them being bad. Overpriced maybe, but once the sub is actually in your hands it’s alright, isn’t it?

    Or did they enshittify since then? …actually stupid question, every fucking fast food chain has enshittified since then.





  • The blame for culpability in the Trump regime’s rise to power falls onto many different people and groups that absolutely includes the voters.

    She was a fantastic choice -and here’s the important part- compared to Trump.

    Without that contrast, she was shit. Our options were a spoonful of shit vs a mountain of shit. The DNC is responsible for running a spoonful of shit, but the voters are responsible for choosing the mountain.

    Should the DNC run people who aren’t shit? YES. Please, yes. But that’s not what we got.

    All the rights we’ve lost under Trump, the economic collapse he’s causing, the deaths he enthusiastically did nothing to prevent in Ukraine/Gaza, the families that have been torn apart by ICE… the voters could have stopped that. The voters chose to let it happen.

    Is there a lesson to be learned here? Yeah. Several. Will that lesson actually stick where we need it to (to the DNC)? Lol fuck no. The DNC won’t learn shit until we break out the guillotines. But in the meantime, we the voters need to be more strategic with our resources, which includes decision making like deliberately stepping on a turd if that puts us on a path around the mountain of shit.




  • Disagree. For one, it’d be an underwhelming point as a historic marker if it’s the only option. And two, we haven’t gotten a female president yet cuz the women we keep running are shit candidates. Sexism is absolutely a factor, but I don’t think it compares to the absolute fuckton of baggage (actual or perceived - doesn’t matter) that comes with Hillary, or Harris’s last minute embrace of Israel’s genocide.

    We haven’t actually tried running a woman who’s also a decent human being. AOC would wipe the floor with her opponent’s face, regardless of that opponent’s gender.
