Want fries with that?

Everyone knows that the truth is good for them, yet they’re reluctant to embrace it wholeheartedly. Sure, they use a bit of truth as a condiment or save it for dessert, but they fill up on pandering, conspiracies, and propaganda. It’s just not healthy for your mind to be so out of touch with reality.

Here, we serve the truth up as the hearty main course; the muscle-building protein surrounded by two layers of caloric carbohydrates. Intellectual honesty is the only thing you’ll ever find on the menu. It can be harsh and even hard to chew, but once you get hooked on the truth, you can never go back to the comforting lies.

Now that this site’s reason for existence has been explained, it’s time for some credit where it’s due. The name of this site comes from an opinion piece about how to handle gaslighting when it comes from the highest office. The flag sandwich is from here, and has been altered only by resizing and clipping.

P.S.

My ideas are intriguing to you, and you wish to subscribe to my newsletter? If you’re a glutton for punishment, you have a few options:

• Email : Scroll down to the bottom, where it says “SUBSCRIBE TO BLOG VIA EMAIL” and enter your email address. On the positive side, this actually works. On the negative, I do get to see your email address. Also, as far as I can tell, you get emailed each new post, and since you don’t come to the site to read it, I can’t tell that you read it, which is good for you, bad for me.
• RSS: You need an RSS reader of some sort; good luck with that. If it works, then it doesn’t require sharing your email address with me and I think you do wind up coming to the site, so there’s that. But getting it to work requires more effort than most people are willing to make, and I don’t blame them. Let’s pause to pour one out for Google Reader, RIP, which made this easy.
• Twitter: You can follow @master_deli, which gets updated with each new post. I don’t get to see your email address, but your Twitter account is now publicly stalking me, you weirdo.
• I am on Mastodon, primarily as @TruthSandwich@qoto.org, but also @TruthSandwich@toad.social. For historical reasons, my official email address is deli-master@truth-sandwich.com, but I’m also at truthsandwichdotcom@gmail.com for convenience.
• WordPress: If you have a WordPress account, likely because you have a WordPress blog, then there’s a Reader that works with other WordPress blogs. Negatives include needing to have this account, and (I think) lacking any email notification.
• Crystal ball: Just set your crystal ball to this site. If the spirits are willing, you will be notified. If not, you lucked out.
