The first time I ate Taco Bell, I lost a tooth in the middle of a chalupa and didn't realize it until I bit into said tooth (I was a kid so a lost tooth was nbd). Forever ruined the franchise for me.

Air Skwirl posted:Most fast food is also made to order. I guess I should say cooked to order then? When you order a quarter pounder at mcdonalds, the burger is already cooked unless there is a backup like what happens with fries a lot. At Five Guys the burger starts cooking when you order it. Everything st fast food is cooked, its just assembled when you order. Most fast cssual doesn't have the meat pre-cooked.

A/C is out, my guy will be here at lunch tomorrow. I’m hoping it’s a cheap fix like a capacitor instead of a compressor. Pan under the A/C unit in the attic is dry and the outside fan is on, but it’s nowhere near as loud as usual and is blowing hot air. I gotta call Sears.

Chilito was top class. 4 crunchy tacos, 1 bean burrito, a tostada, and a chilito was my go-to on the days in college I only had $3 to eat, later on when the Gordita came about everyone in my friend group at college was eating there and ordering 3x of them twice a day. Taco Bell had a promotion for that Matthew Broderick movie where you could win $1 million if you spelled "GODZILLA" using tear-off letter pieces that you'd get from ordering the combo meals on the Gordita, since everyone I knew was eating them anyway we pooled our letters. Two of my more credible stoner friends swore up and down they'd gotten a Z while on a trip to get high somewhere, and we spent a full day tearing their house and cars apart, including them going through like 8 bags of household trash spread out on the kitchen floor. We never found that Z, Taco Bell refused to award a prize for "GODWILLA"

I kinda feel like theres very few actual fast food places. Regional stuff like Whataburger doesn't count, they're fast casual or something. It's gotta be truly national. McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Subway, Taco Bell, KFC, Popeyes, Pizza Hut, Domino's (even though pizza is a different animal), Chik Fil A, Dunkin Donuts. Probably some more. It's impossible to have a convo about it if you include like, Del Taco which I don't think exists in 80% of the country

BrownThunder posted:Do the Taco Bell haters also happen to have thoughts on chain pizza places over local Bad in most cases, but sometimes you just need a quick and lousy $20 pizza, which is why Dominos exists. I'm lucky to have 3 of LA's better local pizza joints in a half mile radius from home so those tend to usually hit my rotation, but sometimes you just want some quickass comfort food and a Jalapeno & Pepperoni Dominos is not a bad thing. I grew up eating 70's and 80's Pizza Hut, and we had Pizza Hut pan pizza as an option in high school at lunch, so against my better judgement every 2-3 years I attempt to recreate the magic of those days with a Thin N Crispy after getting tricked by one of their ads during football or something, and it's always a sad disappointment. And gently caress racist Papa John on principal. Little Caesars is tasty for the first 37 seconds it's out of the oven and then exponentially degrades faster than science can measure. Marco's is hit or miss. Casey's is big mediocre but it satisfies some itch for the rural folk who relied on getting pizza from a gas station so, whatever. This is #2 best in my local top three - spicy sausage, soppressata, shiitake mushrooms, crispy button mushrooms, and fresh basil. The pie is allegedly "Pittsburgh style".  Chain Exceptions that are almost always still good to very good: Happy Joe's, usually Rocky Rococo's, sometimes Godfather's (if you can even find those any more). And of course making your own is almost always way better (San Marzano tomatoes), but it requires getting your dough trial & errored to perfection usually.

If Musk had any sort of foresight, he could have softened the damage months ago by calling Twitter Blue like Twitter X or something while gradually introducing the transition to just X, but nope, as usual he picked the dumbest way possible. If this is truly a sincere rebrand, it feels like he's salting the earth of Twitter if he ever sells it

for once I'm glad fast food chat has continued, because holy poo poo the variety of stuff I "need to get" next time I'm in the States is long and growing longer. Taco Bell exists in Japan and its locations for the wider public are hilarious because they've tried to make it upscale, and it's much more expensive than the equivalent would be in the U.S. (I think there are also T-Bells on some of the U.S. military bases here, which adhere closer to the spirit of the American equivalents, but lol like I can just get onto a base anytime, not that any are super close). McDonald's having some different items in Japan is also probably pretty well documented, the good item that was seasonal but got made permanent is the Samurai Mac - two patties with cheese, onions, roasted soy sauce on top. Fantastic. I think kiimo said "sometimes you just need a specific flavor of garbage," and that is why I sometimes grab McD's. Domino's here is the one edible chain pizza, the other national domestic chain (Pizza-La) has a ton of...local toppings, and Pizza Hut has echoed them. You used to also get :tenbux: off from delivery just by using a specific coupon code, and ordering some medium pizzas and sides to spend a Monday night after work watching WWE PPVs with my buddy was a very 2016 memory for me. Shake Shack started and spread here in the big cities and is definitely good, I haven't had it in the U.S. before but it's definitely good here. Wendy's only really exists here as a partnership with another local chain, so they aren't spread out too far. Carl's Jr. had a few locations in Tokyo, and were almost exactly the same level of quality as the U.S., so was a favorite for a while when I needed that particular flavor (plus they had Dr. Pepper on tap, which is not common at all here). Think I'm going to have to make a trek to the nearest one again. Not super shocking that one of their few locations is near the US Navy base in the Tokyo area. There's lots of local chains for various stuff, of course. The biggest battle seems to be which convenience store chain you prefer, I lean toward 7-11 because they are closest to where I live. Lawson is also good. No Butt Stuff posted:The thing I’ve noticed with bluesky is it’s really just the internet leftists eating themselves about something on a daily basis while congratulating themselves for being inclusive I'm not seeing that a lot, honestly, but I have found many of the shitposters I grew fond of.

Fast food pizza is not a thing I do anymore. Like, when I was in college and was poor as poo poo, those 5$ gut bombs made sense. But I have money now and the delta between it and decent pizza has shrunk considerably. I’m just not going to do that to myself anymore outside of like a kid’s birthday party.

Things I have seen people show their whole rear end about on Bluesky so far: -dril is canceled because he blocked all blue checks, even sex workers -shilling an NFT scam is OK if you are marginalized -the “giving your neighbors chili is incestuous/ableist” thing gets re-litigated a lot (though this one is probably because I follow the OP of that saga) That being said, if you get past all of that there is also some good OG Twitter posting there. Here’s a code if anyone wants it as long as they promise not to show their whole rear end too (or at least be funny about it): bsky-social-w2dst-n4vjr
