Going cold turkey for a month could explain some of his issues and the alcohol is a far better answer as to why he had the liver of an alcoholic than McDonald's.

I got drug into an applestore They also have smart foam rollers, bike helmets and coffee cups. They still use old MacBooks to connect to phones and iPads because using dongles is apparently too much hassle

I got an authentic milk crate for 0.00 back in the day by asking our milko if they had an old one I could have. That was before  ruined home delivery of milk, though.

That was before I got one to stick on the back of my bike a month ago by walking out onto the street and grabbing the first one I saw. They're really not hard to find and they come with authentic scuff marks.

Yeah that's the pro move, just grab one. Gather a few dozen and you don't need a bed frame for your mattress, a few dozen more and you're free from chairs or tables forever.

I've seen it in the metro ads here in Stockholm wow, i at least expected that they would put some sort of slogan explaining why moldy burgers are a good thing it looks like the fundamental mistake of adbusters is that they thought they had to create satire instead of just waiting for the real thing to move beyond parody

Burger King is the worst fast food chain, it's better to avoid their "food" entirely. Moldy or not. Unless you're really into burgers that are way too sweet.

https://twitter.com/ichhdublin/status/1231386516888465410?s=21 95% of new built apartments last year in Ireland were bought by investment funds. Our neoliberal government encouraged this market led housing solution by giving the same investment funds 100% tax breaks on rental income from newly constructed residential properties. And yet hundreds of them are unoccupied, some high profile luxury developments not even 50% occupied. They aren’t affordable due to being rented at amounts that would cost the entire salary of a single person on the average wage of a full time worker.

Capitalists are crackheads, and they're at the point of tearing the copper out of the walls to sell for crack, but with national infrastructure.
