I dunno man. I found out today that a subway sandwich is $14 now. A shitty subway footlong sandwich that isn't actually 12 inches long and is occasionally made with expired ingredients and was never a great option to start with. I ate those in high school because I was broke and at the mall a lot.

There are poke bowls in my city from a local place for $16. Super fresh fish and veg, warm rice, more than I can eat in one sitting, for the price of a sandwich and a drink at america's most mid-tier sandwich shop.

Someone in another post said (paraphrased) you used to be able to get something mediocre for cheap, but now the mediocre things cost as much as the nice things so why would you?

This is me when I realized I could get a proper bowl of curry from the fancy indian food place for basically the same price as a fuckin McDonald's hamburger meal these days

I heard an ad the other day for a "fantastic deal! Four dollar four inch subway snack sandwich!" And like. I'm sure that would seem like a much better deal I'd I wasn't one of the ones who grew up with obnoxious "five dollar foot long subway sandwich" ads.

A dollar an inch of sandwich. When it used to be 2.4 inches. 240% markup is GOOD? Fucking bite me

Yeah with fast food having delusions of grandeur these days it's really made me appreciate the non-chain food places in my area. The other day I went to the local Hawaiian BBQ place and discovered that they have teriyaki chicken AND Beef BBQ musubi for 3.99. and they come in pairs. PAIRS.

I KNOW.

So I immediately bought an order of each and had 4 delicious musubi and a drink for less than a combo at Burger King.

So yeah, show em we don't need their shit sandwiches.

There's some hilarious irony in that by creating an ad campaign so incredibly catchy and memorable that it entered public consciousness (the dream of any marketing team), Subway ensured everyone of a certain age range would view them as the poster child of fast-food price gouging.

Reblog because accurate af. One of the local stores here sells pork butt for 20 bucks. A cooked one at that. That thing lasts me for two weeks. Also, if you haven't yet, you really need to learn how to cook. Food prices are stupid right now, but it's still a more viable option. Learning how to coupon and shop prices is also a useful skill. Youtube might be stupidly full of ads but it's still a great way to learn skills.

I recommend Kwoowk, Jose.elcook, Mxriyum, Derek Chen, and Cage Couffee. Most of these folks are pretty good about budget meals.

These are neat 💜

Trying out a new type of design and I think it came out much closer to the fantasy armor ideas that live in my head! Much cleaner lines and less clutter from criss-crossing supports.

However, to my symmetry-minded irritation it turns out that shoulders are NOT perfectly symmetrical front and back, so I'm gonna need to make another one with a better shape for a pauldron. But as a DESIGN I love it. It's even reasonably strong!

Destiel jokes completely aside, my thoughts are completely with everyone in America right now. You must be fucking terrified and I can only pray that things work out for you guys. Please stay as safe as you can and know you’re not alone.

ty lol, my dash did the thing!

Lol I mean yeah.

And another one, because I'm obsessed, and because for some mysterious reason carving with shaking hands is way easier than drawing. Carved shell, moss and resin, sea glass and pearls for a necklace.

I have the same issue with drawing. Also, i have a lot of trouble drawing from the mind rather than copying something, which is frustrating. This is freaking gorgeous work.

My best pixel globes so far

These are so freakin good. All the details are so pleasing to find.

Lol you guys wanna see my fucked up pizza?

I have no idea how to do the hand tossing thing and I jacked up the recipe because my measuring cup broke so I gave up with that. So ima see if eyeballing it will work for me.

Whelp in the oven it goes.

It's alive! And pretty good too. Then again that might just be the sauce and bacon.
