    There’s a restaurant in Florida called “The Ormond Garage” and they don’t serve fries with the burger. It’s another like $6 for fries that aren’t even that good. I went there once and they didn’t have to go cups for the meal that I called in… The server told me she could get me a regular cup and I could just drink it there while they were putting my $15 burger into a takeout box.

    I contemplated walking out with the beer glass they handed me, but I just left.



  • Only someone prophetically stupid would agree to represent someone who is known for bailing on paying his debts.

    The only reason someone would agree to it at this point is purely for publicity. Our culture has somehow tied self-worth to how much celebrity one has. It’s why “influencers” are a thing when they offer nothing of value to society. It’s also why you see so many videos on social media of someone just pointing at some text and playing a video they didn’t make. Or the people lip syncing… It’s all one big fucking talent show and no one wants you to look behind the curtain.


  • There are ~10k homeless people in Daytona Beach, Florida. The city built a shelter but it’s about 8 miles from where the homeless are “existing,” but to get there, they have to walk past the Speedway, which gets them either arrested or taken back to where they were. And on top of that, the shelter only has 45 rooms.

    Who would walk 8 miles, risking an arrest record (which only makes it harder to rent even if they could afford rent there) just to find out that there was no room for them when they got there?

    There’s nothing around the shelter except the county jail and a few bail bonds places. There’s no incentive to help these people and the county has done a piss poor job of addressing the skyrocketing cost of living that is the impetus of homelessness to begin with.

    They could use the money from bike week to fund a shelter or, at very least, a soup kitchen, but instead, they just give that money to the city commissioner that oversees the area around the Speedway which is, coincidentally, the district of the Mayor’s sister.
