Been there, done that. Would not recommend. Space Pirate has nailed the experience. I paid a lot of money for essentially a job, and ended up selling at a loss just to get my time and mental health back.

That was back around 2010 so I’m sure it’s an even more difficult situation for franchisees today.

Ask me anything, I guess?

It’s disgusting, misogynist language, directed at a woman. But she is a cunt.

To be fair, with the number of parts falling off those planes it was a statistical certainty that something was going to wash up at his house!

China is also the land of dragons. Coincidence?

It was a national tech store, so had a few hundred locations around the country. I just had the one.

One of the big challenges was having little to no say in brand or supplier decisions etc. Specifically, we also struggled with paying inflated wholesale prices with the franchisee or then benefiting from volume rebates which weren’t shared. Really crushed our margins!

I suppose in a smaller chain you might be a little closer to the franchisor, and you might have some influence, but ultimately you’ll always be the little guy.

Just went and saw it. It’s fine. An antidote to the usual marvel nonsense, but it’s just not in the same league as fury road. The green screen is a real problem though. Some of the shots look almost incomplete, like they’re placeholders for the real ones.

Missed it as a kid, but our local cinema put it on the big screen a few months back. Can absolutely see why it’s a cult classic!

Out of the way of anything you might use a bottle for.

Everything except drinking from it! The scratchy cap touching my face and the sugary drips falling on me detract from the whole experience.

We’ve got pandas at home!

Wow, nailed the topic right there. That’s awful!

🤨

Can I still be Garth?

The Petitions Committee (the group of MPs who oversee the petitions system) has considered the Government’s response to this petition. They felt the response did not respond directly to the request of the petition. They have therefore asked the Government to provide a revised response. 

When the Committee receives a revised response from the Government, we will publish this and share it with you.

Right. So just strap a Saturn V to my space suction cup and I’m golden?

Shitposting’s a skill

Dumping random shit into

an AI, less so.

(Edited to make it a shitty haiku)

OTOH, shitposting about shit posting…

He’s beautiful 😍
