It just says a handful of the countries and that the headquarters will be in China… What exactly are they planning to do?

The old colorful designs were meant to entice people into the restaurant, the hard uncomfortable seats were meant to ensure you didn’t hang around all day once you were done eating. They always wanted people to go there before. Now the interior is so depressing that it’s clear they don’t want people to eat there at all

They always wanted people in the building, that’s why they had a freaking playground in there

McDonald’s used to be cheap decent food here in the U.S. but over the last decade or so the prices have kept going up while the quality has gone down.

To be fair no one has ever considered McDonald’s to be gourmet food but it didn’t matter because it was cheap and it was still pretty good.

Now they are neither cheap nor good. You could get a real burger at a much better restaurant for about the same price.

Since they’ve converted all of their restaurants into soulless little bland shoeboxes no one even stays there to eat anymore. The building is basically just a hub for drive through orders and DoorDash pickup.

It’s pretty depressing. I hardly ever go there anymore. A Whataburger just opened down the street where the food is much better and everything is at least 25% cheaper depending on what you order.

I don’t even get why companies are still pushing smart glasses. There’s no legitimate use for them on the consumer market. There’s already legislation being put into place to restrict what they can do because people immediately started using them for criminal activity. They’re just an obnoxious annoyance to everyone who isn’t wearing them 99% of the time.

I’ve never heard anything bad about Nvidia but it’s certainly possible that they could also be horrible

It’s so expensive I didn’t really bother to check.

I’m currently looking up how to run streaming services on my Raspberry Pi 5

Great, 3 other ethically terrible companies or a 4th option that costs $150 per television… What a wealth of options!

Great… Now there’ll probably be a $35 monthly fee just for having the damned thing plugged into the back of the TV and it will come with a mandatory enrollment in Truth+ and Fox Nation 🤮

At this point it’s kind of amazing to me that anyone is surprised by any of Reddit’s bullshit anymore. The CEO basically came right out and said he doesn’t care about anything except how much money he can exploit the users for even to the detriment of the user experience.

When the company’s motto becomes “you’ll take what you get and like it AND pay me for the opportunity” what else can you really expect?

DENTAL PLAN!

I wonder if my insurance considers “not being immortal” to be a preexisting condition 🤔

Buy smaller socks?

The whole point of Daredevil is the dilemma between the forgiveness and grace of his Catholic faith and his need to punish “evildoers” like the ones who killed his father. His dichotomous nature means as Daredevil he hands out punishment, but as Matt Murdoch he helps people who made one mistake or are just unable to fight the system in general have a chance to make a better life for themselves. That’s what has made the character interesting since Frank Miller revamped him in the late 70s. If the whole comic/show was just a guy callously trying to send everyone to jail for as long as possible the whole time it would be very one dimensional and REALLY boring.

Comics are all about telling a compelling and entertaining story, which means they don’t always follow perfect real world logic.

If they did they would be more like a documentary or something

I get paid every two weeks and if that deposit doesn’t hit my account then they can kiss my ass because I don’t do shit for free

When I was in art school a guest professor fussed (nicely) at me about this lol She said I clearly had skill but I was making everything too precise and people like art specifically because it looks handmade

This is one of several reasons I don’t have social media anymore. I got tired of discovering that people whom I had previously respected were in fact terrible disgusting human beings 😞

Sounds like there’s something you feel guilty about

When the guy talks nonstop through the whole video. If that’s your thing then go for it and enjoy but it just makes the whole thing difficult to enjoy for me. The guy always sounds like some neckbeard who is getting laid for the first time in his life and thinks he’s supposed to recite every cringe line from every bad porn he’s ever seen. You’re not who I’m here for dude 🤮

I’ve had a few miracle burgers. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. It just kind of tasted like a mediocre fast food hamburger. I don’t eat burgers that often anymore so when I do have one I want it to be really good so I probably won’t get another one unless there’s some great innovation in plant based meat in the future.

I suppose it accomplishes its goal in that it does taste like a hamburger, just not a particularly great one

I kinda feel like the name is part of the problem there. If someone says they’re serving me something called a “miracle” burger the expectation created is that it will taste exceptionally good, or at least better than average

I’m 43 and I just got my first pair about 4 months ago. It took me about 2 weeks to get used to them but it still throws me off a little now and then. I apparently had a number of vision issues I had just been stubbornly dealing with without realizing it lol I don’t get splitting headaches every day now so I call it a win

I disagree. There are plenty of very classy people who are neither rich nor part of the upper class. There are plenty of people who are in the upper class who not only are not classy, but who are actually quite crass and disgusting. Also there are plenty of so called “upper class” people who have lost most of their wealth and are just struggling to keep up appearances.

I’d say they are three very different and distinctive terms. They certainly can cross over each other a lot but that doesn’t make them all the same thing.
