fizzymercury posted:From my experience, yes it's pretty different. Y'all have way better some things and horrendously worse other things. The BK up there is way better and the McDonald's is weirdly bland. Oh yeah, A&W in Canada is the best overall. I've never once had a bad experience with their food. While I say the Whopper is the best standalone burger, I've had plenty of other food from BK that is underwhelming (their nuggets and fries are routinely disgusting). But A&W is just always a good time. There's also a good vibe within the building itself. The staff feels more relaxed, the colours and lighting are good, and there's always a handful of elderly people quietly hanging out in a corner with big ol' frosty mugs of root beer. For those who don't know, if you go into the restaurant you can order a root beer that comes in a glass thats stored in a misted freezer, so they always come out with a layer of ice that is extremely satisfying to sip from.  Its just relaxing to spend time in an A&W. Fashionable Jorts has a new favorite as of 19:36 on Jul 19, 2021 |

Subway is definitely the worst fast food. Absolutely terrible. For eating and for the community they're in. Five guys is good but really overpriced. McDonald's is McDonald. They kill all their best items though. Bring back the $1 grilled onion burger and the jalapeno burger. BK is just sad. The last time I went there was when they got hotdogs Wendy's is gross and expensive Taco bell is a gift from god Culver's has great burgers and secretly the best chicken strips in the game Popeyes is pretty lit, but the drink selection sucks KFC. The only time I've been there in the last decade was to try their special brand of mountain dew Chipotle is a joke. People think they're getting a deal when all they get is a tiny scoop of meat and a million pounds of rice and beans per burrito.

A&W in Canada is interesting as it started as a franchise of the US company but got spun off into a separate company after the US branch got into real trouble.

Culver’s is the only fast food drive thru place where I ever actually get the burger, though the curds and custard are the actual main attraction. They also have the best service. The chicken sandwich wars have also been great for people like me. The spicy BK one is the best thing on their menu, Popeyes obviously rules, McDonalds knockoff chick-fil-a one that they brought back is good.

I asked for the chicken sandwich without the pickles at McDonald’s but they left the pickles on. Pickles are kind of overpowering and you can still taste them after removing them. I wish all pickles were served on the side

Pickle remnant without them actually getting in the way is the best use of pickles though.

If you can ignore poutine so callously, you might not make it over the border. The border that is mostly an open space with little stone obelisks and no fences, in plenty of spots nothing more than a dry itch you step across...

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Burger King's burgers always feel like they're overloaded with charbroiled taste. I don't know what the cooking processes are behind the scenes, but they taste less like they've genuinely been on the grill than they've been injected with smoke flavor or something. I don't really get the hype, honestly. Literally my exact problem with them. They taste like smoke flavor.

PHUO: Property liability on public roads should not be unlimited. If you drive a McClaren F1 to the mall and someone rear‐ends you, that’s largely on you, even if you followed all road laws. Neither you nor your insurance company ought to be able to raid the other driver’s life savings.

Five Guys burgers are good but overpriced. Five Guys fries are amazing if, and only if, you can actually get the place to do it extra crispy. They're trash if they're soggy.

I haven't seen anybody say Zaxby's, but they're probably my favorite now. It used to be Taco Bell, but then they changed their menu and got rid of everything I liked.

A&W is also the best-tasting root beer overall. Barq's is actually kind-of underrated and hurt itself with those poo poo 90s campaigns. Stewarts and Boylan's are crazy overrated. Mug is acceptable if it's what you've got. A&W however, is always the standout.

I'm not mad at Bezos for going to space. I'm also not mad he didn't really go all the way to space, technically. I would totally go as far into space as I could if I were a multi-billionaire. I'd jump out the airlock and die in space just to be the first person in history who did it. But I'd also try to get everybody healthcare and education and job security and dignity instead of whatever else Bezos wastes his money on, that dumb bald short motherfucker.

mind the walrus posted:That's the crux of it. It is not an accident that during the "bad trip" scene in 22 Jump Street they use "Higher" as audio shorthand for "this is a bad time" because they knew drat well their Millennial core would have a Pavlovian response to it: Also, Creed wouldn't have been near as reviled if Scott Stapp wasn't somehow the most egotistical jerk in the music biz for a period of time.

Gaius Marius posted:I was going to ruthlessly own you, but apparently Bundaburg just renamed their Sarsparilla to Root Beer in the US. This should be illegal. The best Sarsaparilla is obviously Sioux City Sarsaparilla, get one of them with a Twin Bing and you'll have had everything of worth Iowa ever produced And it's still the same brew they make in Australia. It's solid, just not my favorite. I'd never heard of a Twin Bing before, but now I have I would happily eat several with a Sioux City sars. I wish Australia was bit more interesting chocolate bar wise.

What is good mental health and what is a model person with good mental health supposed to look like? 2) What is "acceptable", and who defines it? People self diagnose because they think if they give a name to something it can help them to understand it. This does not appear to be accurate based on what I have seen.

Also, the idea that the point of someone else's mental health treatment is specifically and solely to make them less annoying to you is certainly an opinion, probably not even an unpopular one.
