“I’d rather know immediately if a doctor doesn’t want to treat me so that I can find one that does want to”

Kind of hard to do if you’re in the ER with say an ectopic pregnancy in Buttfuck, TN and there’s one doctor on staff and if you’re not treated immediately you die.

There was one I used to stop at on road trips as a kid. It was always super good. Right around when they all started getting shitty, this franchisee said fuck that and just kept running it the way he was. He ditched the brand and put his own name on the place. It’s still great, and I make a point to stop there whenever I can. Shout-out to Webster’s in Clement’s, CA. It’s in the middle of nowhere, but if anyone is ever around there for some reason, do yourself a favor, and give em a try.

Ours burnt down, when they rebuilt it, they just didn’t put an inside location at all. It looks like a storefront, but you can’t open the front door. There are no tables, there is no play place, just a drive thru and Uber eats / DD / McDonald’s app pickup area. If you’re on foot, you can go fuck yourself I guess.

I’m aware the app has cheaper deals. I’m also not willing to enter a binding arbitration deal with them to save a few bucks. I just don’t eat there.

Side note, someone on here said they got banned from reddit recently for using that quote. AI mods in action.

U don’t like bread sandwiches?

Little Caesars is my go to for when I’m dead tired, and want a pizza right now and don’t want to wait for an order. The convenience of the hot and ready is pretty nice. Having said that, the once $5 pizza is like $10 now I think, and as you said, the pizza is not great.

McDonald’s just straight up sucks. They took the one item I used to get off their menu - the chicken strips (which were one of the few non over processed garbage items on the menu) during Covid and never brought them back despite saying it was temporary. They also killed off all day breakfast during Covid which again, was something actually edible I’d get from them. Now, I’ve got no reason to go aside from during breakfast hours on a road trip or something. I’ve gone to get the kids a happy meal here and there when it was pokemon cards or something they wanted, but I don’t even order food for myself in those instances. Too expensive, and quality sucks.

Right? It’s absolutely part of why I don’t spend money there. The other part being shit food that’s too expensive, but letting this assclown promote your brand turned about half the country off of your products hard.

Maybe Elmo can take some notes.

Also it keeps the population away from that pesky ole ability to think critically.

Ignorance is bliss as they say.

Not like that!

It sounds cool in theory, but modern tech companies aren’t going to make what you wanted as a kid. Whatever they make will be heavily enshittified.

Re: patriot, it’s something 50501 has been trying to do. Reclaim the flag and symbolism that has been co-opted by people who don’t believe in the things this country was founded on.

Yes. They beat earnings estimates, but they are cutting jobs in anticipation of fewer Amazon shipments because tariffs.

Guess what Tim Apple? No one wants them just like no one wanted your stupid headset that I honestly can’t even remember what it was called.

Either that or sudden onset excess orifices disease.

There are a handful of kool-aid drinkers out there, and boy do I have fun talking to them when I visit my wife’s family.

This reminds me of when I accidentally emailed a client named Bob and addressed him as Boob. I also once pinged my boss on what was then Skype, now Teams saying hey K**e instead of Mike (the M and K are right next to each other on the keyboard. I’m pretty sure he’s Jewish or at least part.

Thankfully both were laughed off, but man did I feel like a dumbass.

I mean, yeah, but if you had it regulated to the point where people could dose accordingly, it would lower overdoses. Street stuff, you could get a batch 5x more potent than the last and take the same amount and die. I’ve always been a legalize and tax all drugs person. People are going to do it regardless, and making it illegal creates cartels and clogs up the jails with nonviolent offenders.
