The owner of this franchise is a right-winger who has been fighting minimum wage raises and probably thinks those pencil-pushers at corporate can kiss his ass LOL.

LOL I wonder how far back this goes. When I was young and immortal I ate at McDonalds a lot because it was handy, and the Quarter Pounder (aka Royale) with Cheese was my favorite thing there. After decades of avoiding it I did venture into one a couple years ago. Was a yuge McLetdown.
He came here to play cards and smoke cigars, and he’s on his last cigar.
Some not have way.
Former WotC guy here… I find this hilarious.
Same here. And speaking of bubbles I haven’t seen anything about NFTs in quite a while. I don’t think that bubble burst tho, it just sort of shriveled up and blew away.
The AI bubble might be the 2020s’ dotcom bubble.
I don’t like it dripping with grease either, I like it dripping with honey and just the right amount of butter!
So they’re more worried about misinformation about the results than misinformation that influences the actual voting. Well alrighty.
Unrelated, I can’t help noticing how much Altman reminds me of Luke Dunphy from Modern Family.
My two cats have an odd outside-the-box thing. One likes to leave a back leg hanging out, usually off the edge of whatever he’s sleeping on. The other does it with a front leg. They’ve always been very consistent about it.
Sometimes it helps if you remind yourself that criticizing a group they don’t belong to fills some peoples need to feel more powerful. For me adjusting my bad parking is just perfectionism or OCD. I even edit most of my comments after posting LOL.
Doesn’t seem that hard to get. From observation it appears that grown men can still long for father figures.
I just got into lemmy, and compared to reddit he seems refreshingly scarce here. Come to think of it so does Bonespurs.
Same. At least Bonespurs will probably soon have his final Big Mac Attack and the news will be all about MAGA self destructing as the hangers-on claw each other to pieces to get on top. Musk has a lot more years left in him. His smartest move would be to announce that he’s trans and make social media implode like a supermassive black hole.
Thanks! Noting this for if I’m ever in London again!
A few years ago I was in a local place where the food and service were both entertainingly bad. For decades it had been a wonderful little Greek restaurant, until the couple who ran it moved to Greece for a well-deserved retirement and their son took it over. The son remodeled and reopened it as a combination Greek/sushi restaurant and sports bar, hanging five or six large screens from the ceiling. In a place slightly larger than my living room.
I was eager to try the sushi. “There’s no sushi tonight. Dennis isn’t here.” Oh, alright, when is Dennis here? “We don’t know. Maybe Wednesday. He never says.” Well alrighty then. Dennis is livin’ the dream I guess. So I ordered spanakopita, another favorite. What I received was a brown chunk resembling a giant Totino’s pizza roll, on an otherwise bare plate, where it dryly slid around all by itself. It looked and tasted like a Costco product they took out of a package and over-microwaved. The driest, crispest spanakopita I’ve ever had.
I took a chance and ordered the baklava. It tasted okay but instead of being flaky it was actually soggy - not as in dripping with butter and honey, I mean watery. The only watery baklava I’ve ever had, and also the only serving of baklava in my life that I did not finish.
A guy dining at the next table asked the waitress for the check, but said he would like a cup of coffee first. I was directly facing the clock and happened to notice it was exactly 7pm. At 7:10 she returned with their check and said, “We’re out of coffee.” Wat? They’re open for another 3 hours and they’re out of coffee LOL? And it took a full 10 minutes to return with this info. It’s a tiny place, I could see the coffee machine like 12 ft away. And there are like six customers. Seemed like a dismally bad restaurant in a sitcom, reminding me somewhat of the diner in The Dark Backward.
There were a couple other things but that’s all I can remember. Anyway, this new version of the place didn’t last long and it’s permanently closed now.
LOL I’ve done this many times. It’s a matter of pride. I don’t want people to be like, did a cat park this?
Correctamundo! Intellectual property law is yet another thing that needs reform. I don’t even like the term “intellectual property”. It’s a modern invention. For thousands of years everybody just repeated what they saw other people do, in a process called “the spread of civilization.” It worked great until inventions like the printing press created opportunities for business people who didn’t create anything to get rich by getting exclusive rights to other people’s ideas. But even then, copyright was always something you held not something you “owned”. The modern IP industry has done a very effective job at converting everybody to think of rights as property and infringement as theft. We need to return to the original concept that creators, who used to be freely imitated, can temporarily have exclusive rights to what they create because the public lets them. There’s nothing evil about this, it’s just a return to sanity.
