Nipponophile posted:Even worse, that was the second giant failure of a campaign to push the Arch Deluxe as an "adult" burger. The first one involved Ronald McDonald hanging out in bars, smoking and shooting pool. For some reason, concerned parents didn't care for that too much. I saw the commercial where he died of hypothermia under a bridge crying for his dead wife and cursing an uncaring God. Really wanted a very specific burger, I can loving tell you that.

Elfface posted:Isn't Light Beer low alcohol content? Why are they giving that a slogan which is basically "You'll get drunk and do stupid poo poo" when presumably light is for people who don't want to get drunk, or at least not so easily? They wanted something a little more sinister than "piss goes in, piss comes out."

Red Robin is my chain burger crap restaurant of choice for when the need arises. I'd normally hate it, but after a long loving day of physical labor you just want to cram steak fries in your face. It's poutine logic.

Removing one row of seats can in fact mean more legroom for everyone else without retrofitting; it's why airline seats are on tracks. They revise the space ratios often.

Well, I tried to mock it by kissing the spine of a book. You can get your lips around it but it can't do a lot for you, so I assume they're riding on their emotional connection, which if anything makes it more romantic.

bongwizzard posted:I guess so, but kissing is pretty great, I think those robots are missing out on some good stuff. I don't think it's fair to suggest that because one of the robots has a physical barrier to traditional kissing that their experience can't be as valid and fulfilling as that of two people with traditional lips.

oldpainless posted:IT lacks the intimacy, like trying to blow a dude with no balls. Right, but then are you insinuating a man with no balls (maybe from a war injury) can't feel full intimacy from a blowjob from the wife who waited loyally for him? That's a messed up attitude that you are projecting onto these robots.

Probating the pro-human-decency poster and telling the pro-corporate-greed poster he's really gotta watch it because one of these days, if he posts tens of thousands of words of hate often enough, he might get a wrist slap, if he keeps doing it, really I swear someday it might happen, is a clear enough message on its own.

And if you think I'm not interested in other people your lily white rear end has a very narrow definition of "people." Unsurprisingly. Yeah, unfortunately for you, my investment caps at recommending to you that you get therapy because your approach to other people strongly indicates that you are not a happy person, and I don't think that this avenue leads you to a place where you will be happy with how you have experienced your life.

And then she grows up and you find out she fucks dogs. Really, take some time for personal meditation and maybe take a trip to one of the Dakotas, it is a good way to center yourself and get away from some of the city buzz. And at least take the hint and revise it to catfucker, since I do have one of those.

Barudak posted:When I has just returned to the states as a little kid, like maybe five, we visited some family friends. They had a cat and I ignored it since my parents told me not to play with strange animals and I dont think I had literally ever seen one before. The owner asked if I wanted to pet it and then started walking me through how to be good with a cat. Finally they told me to hold out my hand while they also reached to pet the cat so it was comfortable. It clawed me so badly and deeply on my forearm my family had to rush me to a hospital to make sure I was ok. Wow dude you are definitely a werewolf or some poo poo, maybe just marked

I get the adaptability and chronic illness excuse, hell better than some I'm sure!, but I've never seen that actually be the bread and butter of one of these businesses. At some point, that itself becomes a marketing gimmick that further takes advantage of those who need real help and not overpriced exploitative consumerist bullhooey.

umalt posted:Autistic People loving hate Autism Speaks because of that mentality. In addition to how Autism Speaks believes that Autism is a disease to be cured, rather than merely a different way that the human brain thinks (that happens to have difficulty coping with modern society). yo I have a frisky dash of the 'tism and it's also ok to recognize we make people hate us because we're assholes usually unless we try harder. The reason our brain works differently is because it's broken. If you tell me it's ok to "act naturally" around people I will do things that are unpleasant to them that they have no reason to accept or tolerate.
