    It is not racist if you are not allowed to do your whole dance you dreamed up.

    My gosh what a society. Students stopped from dancing=racist. The media loves this disaster that has been created culturally.

    People who have loud, contentious phone conversations in public.

    1-no one cares about your conversation

    2-we already have enough stress and don't want to listen to your stress

    Sorry
    1-many of us Yankees are loud
    2-as us old people get older and our hearing has gotten worse, we get louder.
    :)


    But for the love of God people you don't always have to have your phones on speaker.

    It's not so much the physical aspect, it's the money. You have to get 20yrs on to get your retirement, and they make retirement mandatory at age 57 so they don't have people sticking around for another 10 years making $170k/yr doing nothing. So while 37 sounds arbitrary, it's kind of not. They're just trying to weed out dead weight at the top.

    On a positive note Subway has gone back to serving cedar cheese, still have not brought back the garden salsa sun chips though.

    The whole gluten movement is another nutritional scam. For about 99.7% of the population gluten means absolutely nothing. However, for the 0.3% that is actually allergic to gluten, it can be deadly. Stupid media and facebook blogging moms have blown the issue way out of proportion. There are a lot of stupid people being bilked out of their money buying gluten-free crap when they do not need to be concerned.

    The Mueller special counsel, the DOJ characters that I consider corrupt. The brow beating Jeffey Sessions took to recuse himself by people who took his stead and have far worse conflict of interests than Sessions.

    It burns the daylights outta me everyday thinking how ole Jeffey trusted these immoral characters.

    Subway is having a really tough go. 900+ stores close last year and another 500 this year, with plans to relocate another 1000 struggling locations.

    http://www.businessinsider.com/subway-to-close-another-500-stores-2018-4

    My biggest problem with subway (other than the pedophilia) was/is a complete lack of quality control (same as Dunkin.) Franchises are a crappy business model; your reputation is only as good as the other franchisees' standards.

    I couldn't agree more. I was a cook for like 10 years before I got a real job and this was when all the gluten free b.s. was starting and it made me so mad. Hipsters requesting gluten free food. I worked at a catering place for a couple years and I was grilling a bunch of stuff at some wedding in the middle of an organic farm field of all places and I cant even tell you how many brah's came up to me and would ask " gluten free bro?". Um, yea I'm grilling meat.

    Correct response, "Not sure, I forgot to ask before I drove a spike through the cow's head. I hope he ate gluten-free grass."

    I don't know if you are really allowed to rant when it is for your own safety.. On the other hand, that sounds like something really cool to watch. Keep your head down!

    I am gluten intolerant, and by this I mean it kicks my a$$ EVEN in small amounts. But little known fact. As it's a intolerance you can train your body to ....you guessed it ,tolerate it again. It took ten years of slightly higher doses and lots and lots of pain but I got to the point where I could eat anything I wanted. That lasted about 3 years and I started noticing all the tell tale signs again. I reverted back to stage 1 of my program and I'm good again.
    But even when at my worst I never was that guy to make the standing declaration about my diet....it sucks but it does not define me nor should it affect those around me.

    Garden salsa sun chips are fantastic.
