I don't read DMs.

  • The worst major fast food chain by a mile, and they're pulling stupid shit like this.

    Whatever your reasons are for paying ridiculous prices to eat crap at a place like this, they're not good reasons. You can do better, you're worth more. Stop abusing yourself.

  • They keep telling us how cool and fun it is. Why won't we believe them? They know what's best for us, and they're going to make us take it whether we want it or not.

    Not me, I've never touched the shit.

  • If you've ever thought that a good night's sleep is better than sex, you're right. Also, remember that the next time you need to choose between sex and sleep.

  • But, what did your dad think?

    (I'll see myself out)

  • You can stop buying from Amazon whenever you choose to. There are online alternatives to every product they sell. You don't need to be part of it. Whatever excuse you give is wrong.

  • You joke, but...

    Well, yeah, it's just a joke. Not a funny one, either.

  • Before my kid started kindergarten, I "never got sick". Then it was one damn thing after another for the next three years. I wonder whether people who never have kids and never experience that are somehow worse off in old age because of it. Or, maybe better off?

    The last time I was sick was Covid, and yes, my by-then adult son gave it to me, because of course he did.

  • I suppose they just want commiseration?

    We're just trying to help, but whatever.

  • But, the cops would actually intervene, then.

  • That's a carnivore diet. A ketogenic diet can be vegan.

    Not that I'm recommending a vegan keto diet, I'm just saying you got your diets mixed up.

  • Admitting to the lesser deed to deflect from the greater crime.

    We all see you Bill. We know what you did.

  • Not literally "never", but often it's so cursory that it's useless, or written so poorly, it's hard to make sense of, or the display is old and faded.

    However, when this structure is used as a community bulletin board, and the locals actually interact with it, it can be entertaining, at least.

  • When MAGA complains about mAiNSTreaM MEdiA, they're right. Just not in the ways they think.

  • This is "not the onion", so it's true. Ordering now!

  • Ouch

    Jump
  • I wondered about "California’s UPS with apartments above it", so I searched. And, I found that Costco is building apartments above one of their stores.

    Capitalism getting back to roots with indentured servitude just around the corner.

  • Federal minimum wage should be $30 per hour, with yearly raises to account for inflation.

    But, the filthy rich know that money is power, and they want us to be powerless.

    Many, many years ago, when Bill Gates first became filthy rich he said in an article, I'm paraphrasing, "Things only get so good, once you can afford to have the best of everything, the rest of the money is just for keeping score." And, the game they're tracking is who is most powerful.

    Trump bankrupted two casinos, and is a notoriously bad businessman, which is why he jumped at the chance to run for President. Because, the President of the U.S. is "the most powerful man in the world", at least on paper. It's also why he's wielding that power so ruthlessly--it's his bruised ego. He couldn't hack it in the private sector, he never got anywhere near the top and the top kept rising, getting further out of reach. Why don't more billionaires run for office? Easy, they don't want the responsibility. They want power without consequences.

    "Everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power." But, really everything is about power, including sex, and money.

    The disparity in power is what gets them off. That explains why they flocked to Epstein. There's no greater disparity in power for humans than between a billionaire and a young girl.

  • This is what I've done. I haven't been out to eat since before the pandemic. I got used to making my meals at home.

  • While I'm not surprised, it's important that empirical research be done and published. It's needed to bolster calls for regulation. Not that I, for one second, think we'll get any meaningful regulation out of this in most countries.

    Our best bet, as always, is to limit our technologies' access to the internet as much as we can tolerate. Cars, doorbells, and refrigerators have no business connecting to the internet at all.
