$80 Canadian - and McDonalds is proportionally more expensive in Canada - but yeah. It was two gigantic bags of poo poo + a drink tray.

The premise was that a perfect order is one in which you don't have to repeat anything for the clerk and there are no follow-up questions - just the price and "okay." So I go first and order something like "A quarter pounder with cheese meal, with a coke, not supersized, to go. That's everything, I'll pay with debit." And the clerk goes "Okay... that's $5.25, you can swipe your card..." etc.

He turns to me with an "is this amateur hour?" look on his face and starts rattling off a long series of miscellaneous things, some with multiples, which I'm not even going to bother to remember transcribe - poo poo like "four cheeseburgers..." "two small oreo mcflurries..." but it included the Mulan family meal with "extra sauce." Clerk goes "okay..." he looks at me all loving wasted with a triumphant look on his face, but his eyes bug just a bit with alarm when he hears "your total is $81.50..." He pays with cash and tries to look not-at-all stoned while he waits. When his food shows up he's doing his best to act like everything is completely normal and nothing is out of the ordinary, even while it's painfully obvious to everyone that he did something ridiculous while high. He takes the food with his best feigned nonchalance, as if this is an everyday load of fried poo poo, and walks out to the car with it, very visible as the most stoned teenager North of the 49th Parallel at that particular moment.

We ate all of it. I have no memory of how the Mulan sauce tasted, though I know I tried it.

I think it's retroactive nostalgia. The R&M guys wrote a script thought it would be funny for Rick to go nuts over some little-remembered nugget sauce, and dorks said "oh yeah I totally remember that and am just like Rick (a super genius who does what he wants and takes no poo poo!) ergo I'm really into getting some of this sauce!"

It could be a constructed memory. Maybe you tried it as a child or maybe you tried something similar and it was just okay at the time. But you were a kid so it’s tied up in nostalgia. Then you hear a cartoon talk about how great it was and that gets mixed with hazy memories to convince you it was some amazing experience.

It's a hosed up attitude. She is in Odessa TX which is the most hosed up Republican town that goes through booms and then busts. The whole town is designed to leech off of the boom and pack up when the bust happens. No one invests in infrastructure and nothing gets put aside for the poor. The whole place is littered with half built McMansions and being poor is a loving sin. The fact that i would defend those "loving lazy rear end homeless bums" means that I am a loser too and that I am attacking her.

This isn't on Facebook anymore I am getting texts and phone calls. Setting up a block list. gently caress West Texas. gently caress small towns.




This is so :psyduck: twilight zone levels of bizarre that these people would be so invested in trying to convince you Mimi is a decent person that they would be calling you and your parents about it. I mean I thought you hadn't had contact with any of them for 20 years? And then they friend you and when you disagree with Mimi they all brigade you like this?! It sounds like something out is r/relationships stories. I'm not doubting you, I'm just baffled they would be so invested.

Also the breathtaking lack of self-awareness of a former school bully who now claims to have become a completely different person, so so different, who is happy to use their friend and hanger-on network to bully and harass someone who contradicts her.

This one made me think, really. It doesn't really make sense that she would have money to buy a crib but not enough to buy a pregnancy test. They sell those at the dollar store. So I guess it's fake/funny, like that one lady who kept posting about her abortion way back when. But then I was thinking...I bet there is some sort of site or sites like that. "Think you're pregnant? Embarrassed to let anyone know? Our FREE, DISCRETE service requires no tests, no doctor visits, and results will be e-mailed to you within the hour. GUARANTEED."

Small towns make for small social circles and people will go to really great lengths to maintain what friend group they have because the alternative is being alone if not actively hated by everyone around you. That translates to most of the conflict in the group being pretty passive aggressive, and everyone's norms get shifted to where any direct conflict, even just bluntly disagreeing with someone, is seen as overly aggressive and mean.

An old college buddy's mom posted some garbage fake news meme, got corrected by her daughter, and I made the mistake of responding with that "you're parents on the internet then vs. now" joke. Whole family swarmed, even went digging into old posts of mine to find dirt. Toxic idiots within the group are just more important than anyone outside of it.

This. Also the Comadre network. A bunch of Hispanic women with nothing else to do but pretend to be sweet while passive aggressively making you feel guilty about bullshit that happened 20 years ago. I am 400 miles away and my mom is another 200 miles beyond them in Mexico and I swear to loving god she knows about it. It started as a sewing circle and the internet gave them more access.

I took a rental car once to visit my mom and before I made it across the 2 mile stretch of town my mom had been alerted that a strange car was in town and that it might be a "Mafioso". It did help with dating though. I was really into this girl during high school and someone saw us and I got a call 10 minutes later from my mom telling me that she was my cousin once removed.

Removal is just how many generations separated you are. Count back to the most recent common ancestor, subtract the smaller number of steps from the larger one, and that's how far removed you are from that person.

Your cousin's child is your cousin once removed. Your grandparents are the most recent common ancestor; they're 2 steps away from you and 3 steps away from your cousin's child, so 3-2 = once removed.)

(To get "first/second/third/etc. cousin", take the smaller number of steps to the most common ancestor and subtract one. In the above example, the smaller number of steps is 2, so 2-1 = they're your first cousin.)

bonus game: count how many sentences into that it takes before you fall asleep
