waiting in line for food is dumb as gently caress and the people who do it are more interested in being seen at the venue than they are in the food

I wonder if fb is as lovely to their paying customers as they are to their normal users, I've not heard much either way [except when they turn the "posts we're willing to show without you paying us" tap a tiny bit lower]

I spend a lot of money on FB and run adblock turned to the max on FB as well as that chrome plugin that makes FB not lovely. I tell my fb sales reps this and they smirk and go 'yeah us too'

not sure if that answers your questions

if you want people to use facebook as their primary communication means then you're going to have a lot of this poo poo to deal with. plus the guy's a dev too so he was also posting about it from that angle, this wasn't just some whiny tumblr post

yeah I looked that up I didn't make it to buckhead when I was there looks pretty choice, I don't think many places bother aging meat for a burg

If I have a choice I'll get fancy pants grass fed beef [or buffalo] 100% of the time it Just Tastes Better and since I only have a burger about every 2 months or so paying $5 extra ain't no thing

ad targeting can get pretty specific but we don't actually get any data on fb users.

like for example if we wanted to buy ads and show them to:

males 18-34
who live in the top 10 metro areas in the US
who have at least 2 of the following likes (and we can weight these, rank them, etc) my little pony, doritos, mountain dew, shoney's, nabisco and hot topic
and who also must like either xbox or sony playstation (official pages)
and who update once a week or more
with more than 100 friends
etc etc etc

we can set up that targeting (and retargeting!), like if you go to our website and click to the page for Spaceman 2015 but don't buy it, we can put an ad in ur feed that is like 'Spaceman 2015 now 10% off!" and link back to the buy page with a special discount. p cool.

but we never ever get like a spreadsheet that is like "James Q. Jameson matches ur targeting, here is his full profile and pics and poo poo"

if you had that data then you could market to james directly and not need to give facebook any more money

Shake shack is way good for eating your entire day's calories (which the menu kindly shows), but their fries are those dumb crinkle fries, they tried switching and people demanded the crinkle fries back lol

as long as we're discussing french fries, can i take a moment to question what the gently caress is wrong with in-n-out's product

great burgers, good shakes, literally the worst fast food fries you can purchase

my theory is that there's some ancient bluehair original family member on their board who's like "no, i like them bland, limp and mealy!" and has been vetoing any changes to the recipe for the last fifty years

the secret to ordering fries at in n out is to ask for them "light well"

because they come out like poo poo normally, and if you ask for them well you get a tray full of black carbon, so you ask for light well and get pleasantly crunchy delicious fries, much more like McD's fries.

yeah but for most people facebook is an easy way to live out fairy tale lives devoid of problems. Facebook is just catering to their main user base. people who want to smile like it's all good. it is p sad that guy had to see something like that but what the hell else should they have done lol.

double double animal style no lettuce or tomatoes (get them on the side if you must) medium rare with chopped chilis on the bottom

animal style fries well done if you dont plan on eating anything else that day

black and white if you dont plan on eating the next day, either.
