Just eat the drat delicious waffle fries. Our existence on this planet has far worse implications.

The best fast food fries were Central Park, may they (almost) RIP in peace

If we actively refused patroning places that did shady poo poo we'd basically starve. I say this as a two week strike ends for my local grocery store for trying to kill a bunch of benefits for workers.

It's my local too. Did you cross the picketline?

"No Ethical Consumption in Capitalism" isn't enough for me to ignore Chick Fil A when 5 guys is making fries down the street and isn't at least actively trying to ostracize my family members from society. There's bad capitalism and there's blatant.

Everyone knows you don't cross picket lines. Well, at least everyone used to. Boomers at least got that right (random reference to this thread that's completely derailed are this point). My weekly shopping trip went up about $30 going to the other places.

Easy to miss the disjointed lines on the side windows too and a weird pointy chrome trim to accentuate it.

Sometime around then one designer must have bet another that they couldn't get something past the design committee. Little did they know what horrors would be inflicted upon the world due to that presentation.

Or it could just that designing for the Chinese market requires making everything look like knockoff transformer.

I may not be an electrical engineer, but i've often wondered why humanity has not found an efficient way to harvest the wind produced by windmills.

Find some way to turn the wind into mechanical motion, turn generator = free fuckin' electricity.

Unfortunately I don't think he's suggesting regenerative brakes.

Reads more to me like he wants to run a generator off each axle full time. Someone should start quoting laws of thermodynamics at him.

Every single CFA around here always has massive lines (talking 10+ cars in EACH of the two drive-thru lanes, with some locations with smaller parking lots needing police directing traffic around their entrance during dinner rush). It's loving stupid how popular they are here. There's nothing special about their chicken. Their fries are drat good, but the chicken is just... chicken.

PDQ's food is much better, but they're not nearly as widespread.

Also, they've been exposed multiple times over the past decade for giving money to conversion therapy groups, hate groups, etc. This is nothing new.




I'm sure the Jim Henson company will be filing a patent or trademark infringement suit soon.

Suddenly I'm starting to think that my little incident that involved smashing my Lenovo-built Moto phone wasn't such a bad thing to happen after all. (it still works, but the LCD goes wonky if I touch the cracked part, plus it already had display issues related to heat).

... though I was strongly considering another Motovo to replace it. Maybe I should look at Huawei or Xiaomi instead? :v:

(why are the best bang for the buck phones made by companies accused of being in bed with the Chinese government? :sigh:)

Yeah. I stopped going several years ago when they, unprompted, decided to make a public statement against gay marriage. I was like why the gently caress does a chicken restaurant gotta throw it's hat into the ring on this?

At least McDonald's silently fucks us all over somehow or something.

The grille works because it's a van. They're aiming at the super lux market with it though I think there's going to be a 'normal' 7 seater.







Lexus: how do we make a luxury car experience better without having a car that's 40' long and 8' high? Oh poo poo, get a Toyota Alphard in here right now.
