  People are posting about wanting to run away to the woods but I think it’s important to remember that cities can be quiet.

  Not that we should all move to Delft, but if we built infrastructure for people instead of cars cities wouldn’t be so fucking loud.

  You used to be able to get a mecha for a five cents. Gimme a mecha for a nickel, we’d say. We didn’t have actual nickels (because of the war) so we used jam jar lids instead. Now where was I? Oh that’s right, mecha. Now one time Puddinhead, his name was Gerald Brown but everyone called him puddinhead because he had this hat that looked like a pudding cup. I don’t know where he found it. Maybe he made it, which, in retrospect, was really neat. We were a little too hard on old Puddinhead. Anyway…

  OG breadstick quality depends on a couple factors:

  1. Who is running the bread oven. Some people suck. Some people give zero shits. Sometimes the bread person is having a bad day.
  2. How long the bread has been off the truck. Our breadsticks come par-baked and frozen. If they don’t get a chance to thaw (like when we’re busy and moving thousands of breadsticks an hour) you have to chuck em in the oven frozen, which means you have to get the outside way too done to get the inside up to temp.
  3. How long the bread has been sitting in the warming drawer. The Right Way™️ is to turn bread over every 15 minutes so it’s always fresh, but we don’t do that for a few reasons: food waste = lost profit, so we only do that when a corpo is coming, and more importantly you people act like we killed your dog when you have to wait more than a couple minutes for absolutely anything. I have seen bread sit in the warmer for hours, at which point it gets dry and tastes like cardboard. But we’ve all come to the silent agreement that having too much mid bread is better than having not enough decent bread.
  4. Sometimes we switch bread suppliers. I do not know why. Sometimes the bread is better. Sometimes the bread is worse.

  I can afford digital photographs of beans, which is almost the same thing. Someday I’ll be rich enough to by an nft of a photograph of a can of beans, and then immediately lose all that money when the canned-good-nft rugpull happens

  One time I passed a horse in the street. A bunch of times, actually.

  I have also caught a fish with my bare hands. One time after I threw a rock at it. I have also fished from camelback, and I was wearing pajamas. I have also chased a fish in a Louisiana state park (we were playing tag). I got a fish drunk in Cleveland. I have also used dynamite to fish in Pennsylvania.

  There are a lot of laws about fish

  I know we should all be used to it by now but it’s crazy to me that Daewoo makes everything from heavy equipment to container ships to cars to microwaves. Imagine having a refrigerator with a Chrysler badge on it.

  It really depends a lot on management. The one I work at takes customer service deadly serious, and we band over backwards in the name of being accommodating. Had what you described happened to someone at my restaurant you would have had your entire meal comped and probably a gift certificate along with a profuse apology from the person in charge.
