pizza hut in the small town i grew up in stayed like that until the 2018 when the sole owner died and his inheritors outsourced its management rather than returning to bfe to run it (i don't blame them) and i feel like that's how most older establishments enshittify.
there was no way he was making money, but he CLEARLY loved pizza & people and was happy doing it.
mine only had 4 pepperoni slices and never enough cheese so i had to spread it around more evenly to enjoy it and it was still 99% bread. lol
i wish i had advice to offer you, but i'm in a similar boat with my senior cat.
i was devastated when my senior dogs & cats passed away and i was able to weather it each time it happened thanks entirely to my other pets commiserating with me; my 16 year old cat is the last one left alive and he's been by my side through all of those deaths.
the bar for approval to get another pet from the shelter is far too high; too long; and too invasive were i live for my attempts to be successful, so i've only adopted pets that i found on the streets and those that others wanted to surrender to the shelter.
i'm on the spectrum which makes human relationships very difficult to create and maintain, which means that my cat is my life.
i cannot express how much i dread the inevitable day that i have to see him suffering once he gets ill and i have to decide to it's best to end his life.
i hope you're better prepared than i am.
and you spend your entire tenure trying to convert it into another language while simultaneously adding to the pile.
and now he's a "philanthropist"
emphasis on the quotes since he's put his wealth into a charity; like most of the utlra wealth do; to avoid taxes so now he's legally required to spent 5% of it in philanthropy.
they were trying to make a windows alternative since microsoft was using their leverage w windows to make corel lose money and courts were doing little more than slapping microsoft on the wrist for doing it.
i could understand it when biden was running; that guy was responsible for whipping up so much anti-gay hate that people back in the day thought that he was too rabidly conservative to be president when he tried running for president in the past; but now the overton window has shifted so far to the right the people call him progressive and the gays he's fucked over will never vote for him; it's only the young or the gays lucky enough to never experience his anti-gay fervor that wanted to vote for him.
i used to wonder why anyone cared if there were any women in the chat rooms; it should have been the first clue that i wasn't straight. lol
