muscles like this? posted:Its definitely not a money thing at McDonalds because all their soda sizes are one price. This is a policy I wholeheartedly endorse. People inside can order a small and refill it as many times as they like, so why should I, the drive-thru proletariat, be forced to pay more money to guzzle down the same amount of sugar water? Also, McDonald's Coke seems to taste better than any other (American) Coke and I'm not sure why.

Doesn't Kosher Coke also use real sugar? I think they sell it around Passover in some parts of the US.

PUGGERNAUT posted:9/11 changed everything. Without any irony or sarcasm, this is absolutely true. If you had to specify a date where, both culturally and politically, the 90s ended and the Aughts (or whatever) began, 9/11 is it. Aughts to 10s, however, is a lot more fuzzy. I think I'd put it somewhere in late 2008, with the recession and Obama's election, but I might be biased because that's also the year I started college.

ElwoodCuse posted:The lobster that people refused to eat hundreds of years ago was pretty rotten. If you don't cook it alive it's basically bait quality meat. It wasn't until they could be caught and transported alive that they became popular. This. Every time someone tries to play the "lobster used to be prison food! Checkmate, foodies!" card it's pretty safe to assume they have no idea what the hell they're talking about. I say this as someone who still doesn't really like lobster that much though.

OniPanda posted:The national CSA flag was poo poo compared to it which is why it never got used in anything ever. Its biggest sin was that it looked way too much like the Union flag, so they adapted the St. Andrew's Cross on the battlefield so soldiers wouldn't be confused. After a couple of years they changed the national flag to this, but soon they realized that if there wasn't a breeze it looked like a surrender flag, so they added a big fat red stripe to the end. Then they went and lost the war and that second set of flags really came in handy.

sassassin posted:The second one is a stronger, more balanced composition without Boyega separated out to the side like that. I'd agree with you if they put Kylo Ren and his lightsaber in the center, but since he's still off to the side shrinking Finn throws off the balance IMO. I do like how they made the X-wings bigger, though. EDIT: Actually I think the perfect poster would be the Japanese (Chinese?) one, but move the TIE Fighters so they're opposite the X-wings, put Finn back, and change Ren to his American pose. ninjahedgehog has a new favorite as of 19:55 on Dec 17, 2015 |

Yeah I saw that on Twitter earlier and Jesus.  You could write a dissertation on how many different ways this commercial is awful (and I expect to see a few of them online before I even finish this post) and you'd still have to make some really painful cuts. There's so much to unpack here from so many different angles that I don't even know where I would start.
