idk. the only biggish food chain i like is wendys because their burgers and nuggets tend to be decent/good. like sure its processed poo poo, but its fun sometimes.


i guess with the question of ethics and food. is there any good ethical dog foods. i don't even mean in the "because its meat/meat byproduct" i just mean from companies that don't test on dogs and stuff in some hosed up way? because my gf is looking for that.

Wendy's is the only fast food company to refuse to agree to the Fair Food Program and buys tomatoes from suppliers known for human rights abuses. The Fair Food Program guarantees higher wages and better conditions for workers. Also their twitter sucks

I'm not convinced fast food tomatoes are even tomatoes. I've never seen tomatoes in any other situation that are so colorless, tasteless, and limp.

I do not even MENTION crypto on my social media and my Facebook ads are swamped with awful ads for crypto investment. Crypto cards. Crypto investment software and apps. Hot new crypto to invest in. Horrible manchildren doing the doge meme straightfaced to get people to invest.

The pump is on, and they're going hard and to a wide audience. We are way beyond the "getting crypto investment tips from our shoeshiner" period.

There is a Bitcoin ATM at one of my local grocery stores. I'm not exactly sure what it does, since even fractional coins are way more than your average grocery bill. And that's even assuming the store takes them.

Bitcoin is infinitely extremely divisible to the point where you could get to grocery checkout levels, but I'm not sure what transaction fees look like these days.

The satoshi is 1e-8 bitcoins so even at $100k BTC/USD it would still only be 0.1 cents and let's just hope this bullshit ends before that even has a chance to matter.

Good point — it used to be effectively infinitely divisible when it was lower valued, but you're right.

The GOP has spent the last 7 months talking about how rigged and useless elections are, depressing possible turnout among their base. Furthermore, as seen in 2018 and Georgia runoffs, when Trump isn't on the ballot, tons of his weirdo brigade do not turn out to vote. 2022 isn't a foregone conclusion, but I'm not panicking given the way the GOP has been messaging re:voting and not having daddy on the ballot.

Yeah, too many people are jockeying to be Trump 2.0 without having the various factors that all came together like a hosed up Captain Planet to manifest him in the first place.
They think if they just scream enough Nazi slogans that the chuds will rally to them like they did him without understanding that Trump built an entire mythos around himself that has been decades in the making.

Edit: Plus, Trump ran on building a cult of personality for himself. As long as he's alive, there can be no successor to the throne without his explicit say-so

Exactly. As much as Trump is a moron and actively self destructive, he is a shameless and wildly effective self promoter. He's similar to Elon Musk in that regard.
