I just want to know why the Subways in my city are now both more expensive and less tasty/filling than any other sub/hoagie options in the area.

I don't go to subway anymore because the last footlong I bought cost me $13, no drink no chips, and was skimpy as hell. The next day I went to a deli/convenience chain and bought a $10 sandwich that was longer, fresher, and thicker.

I had a good feeling you were being sarcastic... but I have former acquaintances who have unironically posted things along the lines of "The UN says Israel's doing war crimes? They must have been paid off by Hamas."

So yeah, hard to tell nowadays.

"You hate democracy" -person who doesn't understand how FPTP in our kind of democracy isn't conducive to meaningful third-party voting without major voting reform

If you want to vote third party, then maybe make sure that it's viable first. Campaign in the long term, propose reform, gather grassroots support, etc. Simply voting third party in our current system does nothing.

And yet, somehow, someone in your HOA will find a way to say "it looks abandoned" despite the clearly well-cared-for pathways.

Your lack of punctuation makes this comment read like it was written by a very smart duck :P

The goal isn't to make it hollow, the goal is to shrink the size proportional to honest participation, so that it doesn't have an outsized influence on the general population.

Yes. There are, and it's fucking awesome because it's a space where we can say "the gender of the person who did all this great work has zero negative impact on the wonderful outcome!"

People can argue that trans actors can "feel out of place" or that trans athletes "ruin the spirit of competition." I don't agree with those perspectives, but I can see the (warped) logic behind them.

Here, there's nothing to possible complain about. Does the PCB function any differently because of who reverse engineered and recreated it? No. Should it impact one's experience gaming on this hardware? No, and if it does, said person has a problem disconnecting their personal beliefs from their objectivity.

I get that, it's like rounding gravitational acceleration (on earth) to 10...

But why don't they just use 3, preceded by a "pi is a little more than 3, but for now we'll round down to 3."

They could have picked a less reliable car for the comparison... or one that's more easily stolen lmao
