I was 17 in 1998 when they started this promo. We had hockey practice the same day as the hamburger deal. My friend/teammate would borrow his mom’s minivan and we’d pile 6 of us and all our gear into a Ford Windstar. After practice it stunk so bad, we’d roll down every window we could, which wasn’t any behind the front row. We would hit up the McDonald’s drive-thru on the way home and buy as many burgers as they would sell us. The maximum was 20, which always seemed crazy when we initially hefted the heavy bag into the van and started passing it to the back row. Turns out 6 teenage boys have no problem putting down 3-4 of those dinky burgers and we rarely had leftovers, just piles of wrappers that never all made it back into the bag. The nostalgia of digging through piles of paper, trying to find the last burger at the bottom of the bag is something I haven’t thought about in years. Thanks for reminding me!
I genuinely thought it was supposed to be a Jar Jar Binks oven mitt, but can find no evidence of such a product.
Thank you! Do you know what law she’s referring to them breaking? Her forceful delivery seems to imply something less mundane than flag code.
What is this in response to?

6·1 month agoThey didn’t make “back” money, they’re just making money. His friends are the ones telling him to say insane shit that drives the market (or specific targeted stocks like Apple) down, then they buy while it’s low. After a few days/weeks, he changes his mind/can’t enforce his nonsense and the stock goes back up, his friends sell and have nothing but profit. The majority of the shit he does is market manipulation to benefit himself and anyone riding his coattails.

What the actual fuck? Why are humans being paid $10m A YEAR, let alone over $75m?!
Which one? There have been a few duds, but this is my favorite:
Saying it, or howling it?
If you see two Batmen kissing, I’ve got good news for you.
Btw, these were both originally by the same artist, Olly Moss.

This makes more sense than my interpretation. I thought it was saying we survived the end times and Jesus was returning as his second coming.
Current evidence suggests we’re only at the beginning of Armageddon.
The tax system is so complicated, most people can’t handle navigating it on their own. Most people have jobs where taxes are automatically removed from pay checks and sent to both state and federal tax agencies. However, that amount is just an estimate and once a year (or quarter) you need to file paperwork to confirm whether you over or underpaid and then you either get a rebate (without interest), or you’ll need to send in a payment to make up the difference. That paperwork has been lobbied to remain as complicated as possible so that companies like Intuit can provide services that tax payers find useful and continue to pay for. This is more complicated for business owners, both big and small.
We could probably do with some slow to the exponential population growth. The problem (as foretold by Mike Judge) is that doubling population of non-kid havers are the ones that are thoughtfully considering their futures. Meaning the pool of intelligent, responsible people that are having kids is getting smaller.
Tell me more about these folding stop signs? Are they automatically deployed when the power is out? Never seen such a thing, spent my life in Southern California.
I’m 43 years old and this is the first time I’ve seen an explanation of these numbers. Thank you!

We had both in my house and referred to the powdered milk as “backup milk.”

Not sure how regional it is, but in Southern California, I’ve heard cajón mean both box and drawer. It might be a specific type of box? Like a wooden box made out of pallet wood.
