    And that's Season 2! I'm thinking of making either a big thread for Season 3, or weeklies and updating each time there's a new episode. Does anyone have a preference?

    Amazing. You could extend the definition to include the proposed Cake classification as well, having a layered stack of D and I. Maybe organized and disorganized sets? This is groundbreaking.

    Using the Pita Way Legacy Menu (https://pitaway.com/menu/legacy) as an authority on such things, a Detroit Chicken Shawarma contains Grilled Chicken, Garlic, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles and Tourshi and is advertised as "the perfect combination" while The Dearborn is simply Garlic and Pickles but is in their own words "The Original Chicken Shawarma." Both variants however can be upgraded to Super Crust for for an extra toasty, sumac-dusted experience, however additional charges may apply. However, I've yet to confirm if a super crust upgrade is a universal trait across all shawarma.

    I guess by that logic there's nothing stopping a Chicago style of hotdog from being a sandwich. I know from experience a Coney Dog would have a harder time with being classified as a sandwich on account of the Chili. But a Sloppy Joe is a sandwich and can be just as unwieldy to handhold. Perhaps it's more of a cultural thing what is and is not a sandwich?

    Senator elect Dr. Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan was quoted on the election trail on his definition of Shawarma Law.

    "If you get a shawarma and it's got lettuce in it, it's not shawarma, it's just a sandwich. Someone has lied to you."

    As a corollary, a shawarma can be made into a sandwich by the addition of lettuce where it was not one before. A traditional shawarma does not have two defined bread buns which contain the rest of the sandwich, but use an flatbread as one defined piece surrounding it. Similarly, a hotdog bun is one defined piece of bread, surrounding the contents of the dog. Can we now use Dr. El-Sayed's definition of Shawarma Law to confirm that a hotdog is a sandwich and put to rest one of the greatest arguments of our generation?

    If they're all second hand and collectable at some point in the future, does that make them ethically in the clear, or does it get into problematic memorabilia territory?

    There's a cursed timeline out there where a Back to the Future remake has one of these instead of a Delorean.

    I guess that's always what this kind of thing is going to run into. How much do the Dems want to push an advantage and give the people what they want as opposed to delivering the minimum viable product of governance? We were already here with 2020, where the Dems convinced themselves everything was fine when it was very clearly not, does that happen again? What does the party want as a whole, after we get the old guy out?

    Nothing immediately sticks out to me, but I've heard good things about Outer Worlds, and Yakuza is good if that's your particular franchise of choice.

    Obligatory

    My Little Proton, My Little Proton, plays any game I- could ask of you!
    My Little Proton, My Little Proton, soon to get new anti-cheat too!
    Conversion layers, process translators, you're such a rising sta-aar!
    My Little Proton, My Little Proton, best thing in Steam Deck by far!

    But then that was the old jingle, and G4 was the Friendship is Magic era, so I don't think it works that well. shit.
