To be honest, they are already pissed that anyone is getting medical care of any kind. That they also hate anything vaguely LGBT related just intensifies it.

Alkydere posted:Firehouse Subs. Delicious loving sandwiches. It doesn't have the variety of Subway, and the prices are a bit more expensive, but what they do is honestly a bit better in my opinion. The shops also double as fundraiser stands for 911 services, primarily fire fighters for obvious reasons. For every $2 you donate to your fire department through them they will give you a 5 gallon bucket of pickle spears for free. They're relatively new, and primarily in the south though, so there's a good chance that not a lot of people have tried them.

Dr. Faustus posted:Not only that, but the one I go to has about 25 hot sauces and little cups with lids so you can try everything on your sandwich. I found my favorite hot sauce ever, Gator Hammock Gator Sauce there, and every few months I go in and buy a bottle with my sandwich. The staff is truly fantastic, too. ALL Firehouse Sub shops have that line o' sauces. It's a standard (and awesome) feature. The fact that they'll also straight up sell you unopened bottles is amazing too. They used to serve 357 sauce at the place I worked which I'm pretty sure is legitimately dangerous. It's something you're supposed to use to mix into home-made sauces to make them spicy, Firehouse served it straight as a sauce on its own. Had it once on a dare, and that stuff hurt, but you'd still find a crazy customer now and then who'd pour some in his bag of chips and be completely chill eating them while the sandwich crew stares on in mute horror.

Right? Apparently they're covering counseling, hormone therapy, and other treatments as well as surgery, and according to GLAAD, "Regulators in California, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont and Washington, D.C., have issued similar bulletins instructing insurers to cover treatment for transgender patients." I really need to move.

Firehouse subs is amazing, and I thank my co-workers at Fort Hood for introducing me. The one in Killeen also has one of those Coca-Cola super machines that allows you to pick and choose a bunch of different sugary death mixes. Also, Meatball Sub + Dave's Insanity (or any 10+ sauce) = Death Sandwich.

I think that "Dude in Heels" picture is probably* from one of the "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" events that raises awareness for sexual and domestic violence by having a bunch of guys walk around in high heels. By all regards, a stand-up operation and all the pictures/videos I've ever seen of it make it look like everyone is having a pretty awesome time. But hey, what a chance to use the picture as clickbait political bullshit! *I could be wrong on the source.

This was my reaction on reading about that. I can't believe how unrelentingly out of touch people with that attitude are. My grandparents could pay their way through college flipping burgers. I couldn't buy books for half a semester on a burger-flipper's salary.

He likes to come into these threads and smug it up about how all our pudpulling circlejerking isn't accomplishing anything in the world, with absolutely no hint of irony. VVVVV More like the beginnings of annoyance with what is turning into a habit. It's D&D, the only thing less interesting than the poo poo we waste our lives talking about is complaining how uninteresting our lives are.

Because Robertson isn't a pundit or a newsperson or a professional rear end in a top hat. He's just some guy who happens to have a camera pointed at him. Let's at least have some standards about whose opinions are notable or public enough to mock because if you just start trashing on random people there's no real sport to it, is there?

Yeah, fair enough. Personally I think his role as America's Most Visible Redneck is enough to make his opinions notable, but I guess a speech at the Sportsmen's Ministry is different from a dedicated radio spot or cable show. Otoh, does an opinion really need to be expressed publicly to be mock-worthy? Mitt Romney's 47% comments were no more intended for public consumption than Phil Robertson's 16yo comments, so what makes one fair game and the other one poor sport?

He's not a random person you moron, he's the centerpiece to one of the most watched shows on American television right now. The most recent season finale of Duck Dynasty just about the same amount of viewers as Breaking Bad's series finale. Are you off your meds? Do you know what kind of a cultural effect that kind of viewership entails. This past June, Bill O'Reilly had the number 1 show in all of cable news (maybe he still does? I don't have any stats on it though). Barely cracked 3 million viewers on his best night. Not even a third of the audience of Duck Dynasty. You are categorically incorrect about Phil Robertson being worth talking about.

Also what the gently caress else is going on right now? This is basically media and politics dead week. The larger media personalities are all basically on vacation right now, as are all the assholes these assholes talk about, so all that's going on right now is the second and third string recapping the biggest non-stories of the year they can gin up.

Robertson's opinion could also become law because it's relatively common, that's how democracy works and the point of this thread is to discuss how the opinions of these public figures influence wider public perception. Romney's opinion of gays is also the same as Robertson's as far as I know.
