One factor to keep in mind though, is human productivity only happens at that kind of speed if they (the citizens involved) feel like they are getting something back from the process. And Chinese disillusionment with their own economy is growing.

I’m sorry, but fuck Wendy’s. Yes, capitalism is in decline around us all, but fuck Wendy’s for deciding they’re gonna be the first in fast food to push that envelope to full-blown-shit mode. And their burgers are just eh.

(Hey, pssst… so, quoting etiquette typically means you’re not using the quoting carrot on something not in the the comment you are replying to without noting it in the comment somehow. I was staring very confused at my replies inbox for, like, 4-5 read throughs of your reply, because its an opinion I could have typed, and couldn’t remember at all lol. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️)

I know, I saw it, and I don’t envy franchisers who’ve fallen victim to it. But passing along the fuckery to an employee is so. not. ok.

Which is hilarious, because its not as if they pay enough people to be on shift at the same time so that they could make their menu items efficiently. The last 2 dozen times I’ve had to pick up someone’s order from one of 5 or so local Subway’s, they have had 1 single person running the entire joint. I’ve made it a point to ask every time I go:

• -how many people are supposed to be working today?

1, and about half of them opened alone, and all were closing alone! (Even young women!!!)

• -Is it always this busy? (Every time its a 12-30min wait for them to even begin the order)

Always gets met with some form of “Yes, or even busier, with the occasional half hour where nobody comes in”

• -Are you the manager?

Nope.

Its at that point I tell them to take all the time they need. And that they are dramatically underpaid and should riot…

Five guys is at the very bottom of my “list of things that are so needlessly expensive that now I actively hate”.

Cause they’re so fucking good, and they use better stuff than most.

The moment that changes… will be the day I either go no-beef, or start rioting.

If only we had a free market 🫤 (but still fuck musky husky)

Rumor has it Apple is planning to announce one that works with their products. But for some reason, instead of concatenating their own brand name to it (AAAAA would sell so well) they’ve instead decided to name it “MarketMask”… typical apple

Luckily for me, I have the new AntiAdAssAdapter™, so I don’t have to worry about that kind of stuff at all. Finally! I have the time to do what I want like take my grandkids to their school performance, or sit and nod at my clearly pregnant daughter while we look over a baby crib catalogue! Thanks Quadruple A!

As I anticipated, I’ve yet to find a replacement for most of the things I enjoyed from Tom.

My source of uniquely emoted monologues of the British persuasion is often somewhat filled by “Lost in the Pond”.

My engineering/hardware fix is a mix of many channels, a “newer” channel some may not yet know would be “Inheritance Machinery”

Funky Art projects/style has lately been Ali Spangola, she’s a real hoot

Unique Items of a vaguely educational nature would be Objectivity as well as Steve Mould

And Gameshows and the like from DropoutTv, thoughve I’ve yet to find anything like CitationNeeded.

Tom’s a hard guy to replace, but thats not really something I’ve tried to do anyways. I just get my fixes from many youtubers who also provide unique and wonderful content too.
