Holy shit. It's still $7.25

What in the fuck?

Yeah, this. The 5-layer was introduced as a very low priced item even at the time.

Also, the $5 footlongs destroyed subway. Yeah, things are inflated now, but I remember the 5-layer quickly rose in price to like 2.99 after only a year or so.

I also remember dollar burgers being a thing and stopping and realizing how incredible they really were in human history that we got there at all (efficiency) and that they couldn't and wouldn't last.

Damn. Now that I think about it, the 2012ish "fight for $15" minimum wage for burger flippers and the corporate pushback political campaign and that rhetoric, the 2006/2017 metoo movement and the conservative political campaign and that rhetoric, and the 2011 occupy wall Street protests all sort of catalyzed into Trump. Jesus.

... It's like... All of this, right now, is pushback and retaliation because society just wanted to be a little better.

And the 2020 tech workers rights improvements, where people were quitting together and actually pressuring employers, and now the corporate tech real estate pushback that we're currently experiencing. Holy shit. All of the bullshit is just billionaires throwing around their weight and sinking their claws and teeth further in. Even the anti trans rights rhetoric now is PUSHBACK because that threatens to upend their house of cards of faith and hate by making people question stuff and realize it's all billionaire bullshit. GOD. DAMNIT.

Man the loss of TB has been extreme.

Gaming and technology seemed to orbit him when he was alive.

Have you found a successor yet?

I miss The Mailbox and WTF Is...? so much.

By saying that some people have different beliefs as to when "history" starts for different people?

Edit: if you really aren't fucking with me, I think there genuinely might be a miscommunication here. And maybe I'm missing insulting or wronging somebody. Can you clarify when you think I started it?

There's been a lot of strange needless hostility around here lately so maybe we move on?

I don't even have an argument here. Chill.

You must be so used to people being contrarian that even my sarcastic criticism triggers your aggression or whatever this is.

Just relax and take a deep breath, nobody here is an enemy.

I'm merely pointing out an interesting idea that to a lot of (maybe even most, or even all) people, history, and therefore one's worldview and values, are subjective and based around an authority of some kind.

No need to make this weirdly personal and hostile, we are only discussing ideas.

I wonder if there are other non-obvious-once-you-think-about-it-and-stop-being-racist tells

Yooo why are you being such a dick?

Depends on who your authority is

Jesus Christ

Yeah. Because the usa is now ran by goddamn fucking Nazis
