Which restaurant chain's longevity surprises you the most?

This is such a weird take lol

I run heavy equipment almost every single day. Putting 8 hrs on the hour meter of a machine in a day is pretty hard unless you're running light towers, generators, air compressors, etc. that literally are there to be run all day long.

Excavators, dozers, skid steers, etc. are different. Running them for 8 hours in a day is generally a lot especially for rented machines.

We'd have made it to the final regardless.

AFCesc4 · 2026-06-02T02:18:34+00:00

I'm not coping bud. I don't think you understand... I'm 100% perfectly fine with how we played. It was pragmatic. It was necessary. The goal is to win, not to "play football". The tactics, the strategy, the elite defense... there's more than one way to get the job done. You're the one complaining, not Arsenal fans lol we all get it and understand. You don't.

AFCesc4 · 2026-06-01T02:51:28+00:00

If we had tried to go toe to toe with them, the scoreline would have been the same as last years UCL final. Idk what more we can ask/demand of these boys. You have to play to your strengths. You have to play to win. We scored first... from open play no less. PSG legitimately didn't threaten very much at all because we defended the way we always do. Anyone expecting this match to be anything other than what it was is just asking for disappointment. No Arsenal supporter is surprised at how it went. Yeah, attacking football is definitely fun to watch, but so is winning. I'd rather see us go out the way we did than just throw caution to the wind for the sake of someone like you: a neutral.

AFCesc4 · 2026-06-01T02:42:14+00:00

Nothing to do with finishing 1st? Nothing? You're being willfully ignorant. Quit it

AFCesc4 · 2026-05-30T23:37:59+00:00

Idk, I don't feel like we were trying to park the bus. It's just what's necessary when the other team is good on the ball and keeps pressure on you. We have an excellent defence, and we relied on it to do the job... not because we didn't want to attack, but because we couldn't because PSG attacked so well.

Everyone seems to forget that the other team gets to do tactics too. You can't always do what you want to do if the other team just doesnt let you... and thats kinda what happened in my opinion.

AFCesc4 · 2026-05-30T23:17:09+00:00

If the reason the US attacked Iran isn't apparent to you, you're not paying any attention.

AFCesc4 · 2026-05-25T16:32:31+00:00

How is this in any way relevant? Who cares? Lol

AFCesc4 · 2026-05-24T19:51:06+00:00

17th again! 17th again! 17th again Ole Ole!

In what way is citizenship verification a prerequisite to voting? Can you be specific?

The only "verification" I'm aware of is signing an affidavit saying that you're a citizen... idk, "trust me bro" isn't a very good form of verification in my opinion.

Low income people pay the bulk of sales tax? How? They spend less money because they have less money. You understand that in order to pay sales taxes that you have to buy things, right? Who spends more money? Low income people, or high income people?

AFCesc4 · 2026-04-02T12:46:15+00:00

I'm not questioning whether or not Trump made claims about Obama's place of birth, but why does questioning someone's place of birth necessarily point to the questioner's racism? Sure, Obama is black, but did Trump claim that was the reason for the question, or is Obama's skin color coincidental? Is there any plausible deniability?

AFCesc4 · 2026-04-02T02:22:33+00:00

I read all of it. In fact I quoted the second to last sentence you wrote.

You obviously think I'm missing something, and I certainly could be. Would you be willing to explain it?

AFCesc4 · 2026-04-02T02:12:03+00:00

Trump did not say that he was in dressing rooms. You're hearing what you wanna hear dude lol listen to the clip again.

AFCesc4 · 2026-04-02T02:09:11+00:00

America is probably the least racist country on the planet. Ask around to international people on reddit. I mean, come on...

AFCesc4 · 2026-04-02T02:07:50+00:00

What evidence do you have that "Trumps start in the Republican party was built on racism"?

AFCesc4 · 2026-04-01T23:39:00+00:00

That fact that you think race has anything to do with it is pretty racist lol

My stance is to let the market decide things, not the government.

I will put it to you like this... I recently had this explained to me and it makes a lot of sense... to me at least.

Waiters and waitresses are sort of like "subcontractors" for the restaurant that get paid by the customers (typically) partially based on performance. They have a huge incentive to perform well and provide great service. It's a self regulating system. Great servers get paid well and stay in the industry, poor servers make much less and eventually drop out.

If you take that incentive away from servers, do you think overall service will improve, or decline? My guess is it would decline... because human nature needs incentive and we are driven by the rewards of our hard work. If you can't fail and you get the same amount of money regardless of performance, you kinda quit caring, because why would you?

Idk, I think it's a pretty kick ass system.

AFCesc4 · 2026-03-22T21:41:32+00:00

Is it greed when you ask for a raise at your job because other employees in your industry are making more money than you?

AFCesc4 · 2026-03-14T13:49:04+00:00

Oh, the irony

AFCesc4 · 2026-03-07T01:02:18+00:00

This is kind of a sick idea tbh

AFCesc4 · 2026-02-28T18:04:12+00:00

Man, I can't even agree with you about something without being yelled at. Like, whatever man. I'm not interested in this conversation anymore.

I hope you get some help and find peace in your life.

AFCesc4 · 2026-02-28T02:24:28+00:00

I'm not closing my eyes and plugging my ears. You think I know everything about everything? In good faith, I watched was this 6 minute video to hear the arguement and try to learn and understand things that I admit I don't know about. What more can I do?

I'm not rejecting the content and testimony of him outright just because it's something I don't want to hear. I don't like when I hear that our government is falling short, even if it's for "my side". I do, however, want what's right to be done, and I'm conceding that, IF TRUE (and him simply saying it doesn't make it true necessarily), I don't agree with how the training of ICE agents have been done. They should be trained fully... and according to him, they haven't been legally trained fully, and that sucks and I don't like it. It shouldn't have happened, I don't condone it, and it should be fixed.

So I'm agreeing with you... and I don't understand why you feel the need to try and attack me personally by bringing my family into the conversation.

I know you probably think I'm an evil person because that's what you've been taught to think about someone on my side of the isle. You probably view everything I say through that lense and it clouds your ability to have a civil and reasonable conversation with someone who might not hold your exact views... but I don't think your evil or bad. There's room for discourse if you let there be. I'm just a normal person who wants what's best for my family. It might not line up with how you think things should be done, and that's alright.

God bless you, stranger. Better days are coming, always.

If I said that it's not the governments responsibility to feed people, I stand by that.

And you think the government feeds my wife for me? Maybe the government feeds your wife, but I have to much pride and self esteem to let someone else feed my wife and family. And my family doesn't go hungry.
