Worked at Subway, myself. Make whatever weird rear end request you want! We had tons. We get paid the same regardless, and at least it provides a bit of interest to the day. Also: we don't judge. The guy with the double-meat "rib" sub? Yeah, shine on you crazy diamond. The chap who wanted double extra mayo on the tuna sandwich (which already contains an absolutely abhorrent amount of mayo)? Vaya con Dios, please don't stroke out on the premises. "I want it all mixed together in a bucket": cool, we have that!

In the absence of performance metrics, which we never had, order whatever the gently caress you like. Order none pizza with left beef, order a sandwich with no bread, order a Lovecraftian monstrosity for all I loving care. It's not actually more work. I'm here for 8 loving hours, make my life interesting.

Stuff like this is a great way to advertise to people, "I have $8,000 worth of tools and guns packed in this loot box of a vehicle".

Molon Labe always gets me because, buddy... they did. The Persians came and took them. They slaughtered the Spartans and their allies and slaves down to a man. Thermopylae was also, despite fascist romanticism, not a heroic suicidal last stand. Leonidas went into that battle expecting to win, and he very well could and arguably should have. The Persians lucked out by being informed about that additional pass, and were able to win as a result. The Spartans were tested on the field of battle and, as was often the case with that monstrous paper tiger, found wanting.

Nonsense! Why, in our very national history, there are many such situations to laud and admire! Have you heard of the Confederacy? Their Cause may have been Lost, but their indomitable spirit [devolves into very specific civil war era battle recaps to try to distract from the overall point of "Black people need to know their place"]

Man, the pretzel logic of these folks. They desperately want to perpetually feel they were "right all along". So we are to believe conservatives were the ones taking covid seriously at first? Then of course they brag they were the first to realize it was a big scam.

Like there's a reason the real driving force of modern Republicanism is 4chan and other dens of online trolling. Objectivism is sociopathy masquerading as philosophy, and fascism is psychopathy masquerading as politics.

I like to think of fascism as post modernism read as normative rather than descriptive. That's why they've always hated postmodernism, because it's the philosophy that allows well meaning people to understand the things that fascists want to make real, the complete divorce of reason and truth from politics and human relations.

Also, "we were right about proven solutions not working because we're the ones who made them not work by actively resisting them and we were the ones taking it seriously the whole time". Causing someone or something to fail, then blaming that person or thing for their failure is the racist and "government doesn't work" playbook. And the more conservative playbook in general to take one brief glimmer of some of them being right about something for a very short time (which at this point, the bar is so low that acknowledging objective loving reality is good enough) and extrapolating from that that they're all right about everything all of the time.

How loving bizarre is it by the way that one of the very few good things Trump did (vaccine) is the one thing his supporters don't like

Also:

* yes, closing borders was racist when it was just closing borders with China but not closing borders with European countries where outbreaks were occuring
* no, no one in their right mind was arguing that isolation and distancing would "stop" the virus, the entire point was stated repeatedly that isolation was about slowing the spread and keeping hospitals from being overwhelmed
* no, no one said the vax would "solve" the virus, it would turn it into a regular flu situation which is largely what happened

Wut

Multiple countries around the world quelled multiple episodes of sustained transmission through lockdowns and social distancing measures. This had the side effect of crushing influenza basically out of existence as an afterthought requiring no additional effort.

I never was able to figure that out before the Nazi-simp got a hold of it, and I swear at some point it has reversed itself at least once as a conversation didn't make sense unless read one way or the other.

Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Tribe unanimously votes to ban Gov. Noem

5th tribe banning her from entering tribal land.
Her lovely media presence lately has everyone hating her guts.

"SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - Governor Kristi Noem has been banned from the Lake Traverse Reservation.

The Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Tribal Council voted unanimously on May 7 to ban the governor from coming onto the reservation following her remarks about the cartel’s presence on reservations.

In a statement to Dakota News Now, “As Tribal leaders, it is our duty to honor the voice of our people. Although, it is always a goal to engage in constructive dialogue with our political counterparts at the federal and state level. It is equally important we take actions that protect our values, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment, and preventing further marginalization of tribal nations.”

This is the fifth tribe to ban Noem from tribal land in South Dakota, following the Oglala Sioux Tribe, the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe."
