arby’s has a bad rap, likely because of internet chatter funded by competitors, but they were the first mainstream franchise to introduce the curly fry to the world. this may seem farfetched, but when those delightful arby’s trademarked curly fries hit the street, you couldn’t just go to the local supermarket and buy a bag of curly fries–it was arby’s or nothing. and we loved those funky, spicy, intricately curled potatoes; we were as red with passion as the color of their always crispy exterior.

it became a tradition in my friend circle to indulge in this culinary experiment that would soon become one of the norms of american cuisine; we were pioneers as much as laura ingalls wilder was but our place in history has been paved over by applebees locations serving you inferior fries.

there was an arby’s in my local mall right next to the arcade, and my friend and i would indulge in savory roast beef sandwiches and curly fries, always with a generous amount of horsey sauce for that extra kick you’d only find at arby’s.

without arby’s training a generation of young men/women to appreciate spice, you wouldn’t have dozens of thai/mexican/halal joints in your area in 2026.

this is just something to think about–i’m not bragging or making a huge fuss.

jesus. what’s up with his old man hands? you know he never washed dishes in his life, so what’s going on?

i love the look though lol. blue suit, red tie, crisp white shirt–not-so-subtle nod to the american flag, which is supposed to make all his whiney diarrhea go down nice and easy. you see, this is a guy who really cares about his country! i’ve never even seen a pic of george washington giving respect to the flag like that.

this look is called ‘patriot core’ btw.

some loser who gets paid 200k a year to ‘style’ these dweebs came up with this, and the sad thing is that it probably works.

alien: “what’s the difference between this bag and that bag?” --he gestures to the gucci bag on my shoulder and the bag on my photographers shoulder, probably from wal-mart; i wouldn’t know.

human: “mine is a gucci.”

alien: “what about his?”

human: “it’s cheap” --her eyes can’t hide the disdain toward his bag.

alien: "does yours hold more items? did you finally solve the infinite pouch paradox?’

human: “stop being weird… it’s a better brand, a luxurious brand…”

alien: “what’s luxury?”

human: "let me consult with chatgtp, give me a second.’

alien: ‘but does it hold more items???’

human: “no, it holds the same amount of items.”

the alien flies away.

what else would matter look like in space? isn’t it all black–all dark?

this is just an uneducated observation but modern geniuses don’t accomplish much other than coming up with buzzwords.

explain orange clean then.

american capitalism has always been a huge bummer other than the defense industry, which is probably just cuz we throw more money at those problems than anyone else. the best electronics were always japanese; the best cars were always european or japanese. what would be different with AI?

if you take nation state horseshit out of the equation, the best outcome would be to share all these ideas and get as many eyes and minds on the problem as possible. for all you know, the person who creates the singularity is some dude from tanzania who’s currently mining diamonds; it’s definitely not gonna be some brainless nepo baby.

these people are all up their own assholes, and it’s gonna sink the entirety of humanity.

these doofs would be arguing about open sourcing the lightbulb or television and pearl-clutching about ‘at what cost?’

hi, i’m an open weight models advocate!

i’m more concerned with all these nerds lurking about who say shit like that with a straight face. we used to shove these guys in lockers for a reason.

i don’t get angry because they rearranged the store, i get angry because they ONLY rearranged the store so some worthless, nepo-baby dipshit can justify their existence at the company because they came to the conclusion–after 25 focus groups-- that it’d increase shareholder value by $0.0003 to move the pasta to aisle 3
