Will speak as a fan.
MMA is really the only bloodsport I watch. First, I love the progression from the prelims to the main event, with the latter often being not worth watching at all. It's very fun to watch in a group with 8 light beers and a pizza showing up.
What it's not: A way to fantasize about my own fighting capability
What it is: A way to observe the pinnacle of human achievement in pain tolerance and performance. Making our bodies into weapons is an insane counterpoint to modern western living. Sure you can get like... 60% of that experience by being a traditional athlete, but nothing comes close to the insane violence in MMA. It gets my blood pumping, and even the women's events are a type of masculinity that the elites have done their best to smother everywhere.

Pikmin is such a strange game for me. I was obsessed with the visual design and marketing, read so much about it.... but never really played it. The time limit wrinkle was such a big deal and one of the things that I thought was interesting. To this day it's still the game with the highest obsession/time-played ratio.
Strategy games in particular always have an interesting tension with QoL features that aren't apparent unless you're really into the genre. In Company of Heroes 1 and for most of 2's life, for instance, AT guns would fire at infantry despite being almost totally ineffective. Tank destroyers would do the same. Members of the community argued almost entirely against these units being smart enough to prioritize what they were best at automatically. The compromise was a toggle that allowed you to control the target validity algorithm. FWIW it's a feature that I'm still stunned anyone put up with not being in the game to start.

Prostitution is still considered low class enough it's not really an option for someone so public

I hate to say it but I just disagree, and I say this as a big fan of JJs who will never turn one away.
I had the privilege of nerding out for an hour and a half with a dude driving a 720s whose vanity plate read frkyfst Both places use the same suppliers for meat, but the cuts are thicker at JJs, along with those for veggies. Their misfire on a bread redux, along with them now being on version 3 of the sublime kickin' ranch shows how much jacking of the formula the PE firm has been doing. The new toasted subs are absolutely hot garbage and destroy crew throughput. I have appreciated one or two of the LTOs though.
In comparison, I've found the bread at JMs to be more consistent and the veggies more generous. I have to beg the guys on the line at JJs to give me a reasonable number of tomatoes.

It's been a pretty short time since the buyout relatively speaking, but that's a bummer.
For anyone with the app, I believe the code jmmissesyou is an evergreen code for $2 off a regular.

None that I know of, but the locations nearest to me are a drive. It's like a burger CFA in my opinion. The kid's burgers are the same size as their normal ones so if you're looking to save some $ that's the play.
I spend more time than average in fast food subreddits. I have just been tickled pink by one recently submitted to /r/jerseymikes. For those who don't want to click through, it's a meme image of the ham they slice for their sandwiches with the following text:
In any case, I don't care about it being a loogie in the face of the Creator or an affront to my GP when looking at my blood pressure. I'm very opinionated about what makes a good sandwich, and I think Jersey Mike's absolutely crushes the nationwide competition. I still recall vividly my first taste of a true Italian (complete with prosciutto!) from Lenny's in the Memphis airport 20 years ago that changed my life. That place is now a shadow of its former self, but it's interesting how times have changed. These places couldn't even survive in ideal locations in the southeast back when I was a Subway sandwich artist and now they're thriving. Awesome, because my palate was built for thin ham.
(Side note - the humorous caption above is in fact mostly incorrect for at least Boar's Head. Their process involves using whole pieces of meat but forming them through force as opposed to ultra heavy processing.)
