Wearing A Mask: Now a Cultist Following

[Fenixgoon]

I’m from Philly. The only two things we actually care about are sandwiches and the Eagles.

ahem... Iggles
though honestly, i love the Philly mascots more than the teams. i don't follow sports like I used to. But the Phanatic? Nothing like him. And Gritty? Gritty is Philly to the core. I want to go to a Flyers game just to meet Gritty

Yes, Philly has the best mascots, hands down. Although Swoop is lame, the Phanatic and Gritty are both A+.

I really don’t get what the big deal is over masks.
I agree they are a pain in the ass however is it really that important not to wear a mask?
Also why would Democrat’s want to conspire to make people wear useless masks? What purpose does it serve? Why expend the energy to do it?

Your problem is that you ask questions. If you want to understand righties, you don’t ask questions.

I wore a mask today when I went into a Jersey Mike's. Smaller store, closer quarters, I wasn't eating in. I guess I'm in a cult now.

And have good taste in subs, I love that place.

Gritty's a twat.

I said what I said.

Thanks for Carter and Richards though! (Although Columbus is more to thank)

Sigh, the Flyers were so dominant when I was a kid, if things had gone differently we could have had 2-3 cups. Then you fuckers win it as an 8 seed.

May you be cursed with terrible sandwiches for all time.

People talking about Italian food in fucking Jersey. Might as well be eating shit out of a diaper. If you aren't in Italy you ain't eating Italian food.

lol as usual the village idiot comes out to give his food expertise - who probably hasn't traveled outside of the US much at all.

4000 years ago a poet wrote the Sumerian legend of Gilgamesh, a tale that offers advise of the relationship of two world views or perspectives, meditations on the individual and the community. Basically, the story plots the development of the animal self, the individual and the desires of the ego arriving at emptiness and the realization of surrender, the integration of the individual as a transient being who only has meaning in relationship to the community in which he or she has his or her being.

American culture and Western culture generally is all about the individual and the struggle of the ego to become. It is a path that leads to tragedy and emptiness, full of fools who see the wearing of a mask as an insult to their personal dignity, the community be damned. Four thousand years ago wise people contemplating the meaning of life figured out these individualists were fools. The type was present then and is still here. Theirs is the tail of tragedy and suffering, like the man who said before he died, "I should have worn the damn mask." He left behind a community, a wife, and five kids, infecting God only knows how many before his passing.

God damn you are a stupid mouthy child.
And I know you don't actually believe anything you say. If you believed in yourself you wouldn't constantly seek validation from strangers on the internet.

 

[MrSquished]

If you are in Philly, go to John's Roast Pork at least once. Goddamn.

Find a place that does a good tomato pie too.

And there are no comparisons. Sorry.

NJ has some amazing Italian delis/sandwich shops.

THat Roast Pork place I've seen on some youtube video or food show I think and it looks amazing. I want to try that and the Chicago Italian Beef that Portillo's claims. It looks really good if you like French Dips. Anyone had one of those?

This is why he's one of only two people I block on AT.

While not the cheapest I think JM is the best chain out there, the one near me the employees actually give a shit about the product you end up with, the roast beef is always awesome!.

Wow. If I go to Italy I'll be sure to eat.

My favorite with mask discussions are "They are trying to control us." "They"? Who benefits from you wearing a mask? It is all a world-wide conspiracy by the shadowy mask-making industry?

Or is it a slippery slope where they start with masks and then move on to underwear and blouses and so on? Where does it end! I don't want the government controlling my attire!


I wonder why we never heard the same laments over drunk driving laws, or ordinances against juggling chainsaws in the city center, or pesky rules that say I can't fire my rifle in movie theaters. Those are taking away my god-given freedoms!

Yup, I like to ask people who say that "So what is the long game here? Is it Big Mask trying to rake in those sweet sweet covid bucks? Or is it some social experiment, if so, what are they trying to control, besides a contagious pathogen?"

You just never been around rednecks. I have family that will loudly proclaim that it is their right to have a beer while driving, and they do drink and drive, nearly every day.

There are chemicals sprayed on the inside which turn you gay. They already tested it out on the frogs. I mean, just think about it.

 

[HomerJS]

The same people who claim science doesn't support mask wearing claim gay people cause hurricanes.

Masks for theeee but not for meeeee episode #446920

Rep. Rashida Tlaib busted partying maskless at massive wedding after slamming Sen. Rand Paul

Tlaib’s maskless display comes the same day the representative slammed Senator Rand Paul for urging Americans to resist new guidelines coming from the CDC in a newly released video.

As if Obama's gathering wasn't enough. Leftie hypocrites as usual.

Well yea, when you put it like that, it's totally obvious.

Reminds me of an image I saw. It was like a subway area where someone had spray-painted on the wall "Question everything" then someone else added "Why?" In my experience if you follow that rabbit hole (i.e. their explanation for whom is controlling and why), all conspiracy shit ends up back at anti-Semitism (I'm not even joking, it really does basically all trace back to that for some bizarre fucked up reason).

Consider yourself lucky because there legit was people arguing such about drunk driving laws and other things. Some of them still to this day do (hell, look at gun nuts, they regularly shriek how basically any gun control is essentially a gun-grabbing outright ban). The dumbest part is those people are free to go live a life free of government, they're just not manly enough to actually do so.

I know, it could be a character flaw but, I think it's a solid sandwich. We have more than a couple great salumerias around here that make their mozz fresh daily and have all high end meats - I just don't always want an Italian sandwich, sometimes just a standard Jersey hoagie style - but there are plenty of bad delis where the schlubbs making the sandwich just dont' care. But yes, we do have options here.

I do just get one sandwich at JM - the super sub, Mike's Way, add mayo and hot peppers. I went to my first one like 13 years ago, and the quality is always good, it's always the same at every location I"ve been to in nothern NJ, I've tried like 5 or 6 so far. Everything is fresh - never a brownish piece of shredded lettuce or mushy tomato yet. And they slice the meat on the spot. And Mike's Way is solid. Only other sandwich I've had there is the cheesesteak, and it was one and done - the meat is sliced too thick. But the super sub is my sin every few months or so. I have never been to a JM outside Jersey though, maybe the quality is not as good?

I've been to various JMs in the midwest and PNW, other than occasionally getting one that's a little skimpy on the meat, the quality holds up.

I really don’t get what the big deal is over masks.

It's almost a MODERATE INCONVENIENCE, what don't you understand about that?!?!?!?!?

I shit you not, but I have a cousin who thinks the reason democrats want people (and especially kids) to wear masks is so they can kidnap them and force them into sex trafficking and somehow wearing a mask makes you a target because other people cannot see your face.
