King crab sounds hella good right now, not gonna lie

Better than a garbage-ass McChicken ever was. I remember eating them when I was on the struggle, before covid. The only good thing about them back then was the price; now they don’t even have that going for them.

🤔 Someone ought to make a !cookathome sub. EDIT: there we go :P

pinkdrunkenelephants,

The only way to get decent prices is through the app, and even then, it’s really hit or miss.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

A thing I have thought of trying is to take a bean and rice mixture and make stuffed peppers with it. I am certain it will be delicious. Certainly better than a ShitChicken.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

It’s purposeful. The system is collapsing and the only option they have is to lie to people to convince them to continue participating.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Yeah, that was one of their more boneheaded moves. 🤦

pinkdrunkenelephants,

How come? Haven’t you ever cooked on your own before?

pinkdrunkenelephants,

How in the actual fuck are you all surviving down there? Are you like hunting down the kangaroos for sustenance?

pinkdrunkenelephants,

😥

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Trillions went into the hands of corporations.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Tell that to all of us paying upwards of 3X as much for many basic goods, including McChickens.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Then I’ll spell it out for you: your complaint is moot because what actually matters to people is the price listed in this meme, not blatant attempts at distorting what we can clearly see happening in front of our eyes.

We’re suffering hyperinflation and no amount of dishonesty and manipulation from you is going to change that. You want it to not be true? Petition McDonald’s to lower their prices.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

They’re exploiting the fact that they’ve turned humanity into creepy, hopelessly dependent little goblins and it’s horrific to watch.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Tell that to the extreme poor who are dependent on McChickens to survive

pinkdrunkenelephants,

It is to people who can’t afford anything else or cook for themselves. Like the homeless population you claim to care about.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Am I so much of a threat to the status quo you benefit from that you completely break down over a picture of the price of a McChicken at McDonald’s?

Does it truly matter so much to you?

pinkdrunkenelephants,

No thanks. I don’t want to be at the mercy of some driver who can and will deny people service however and for whatever reason they please.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

No it doesn’t. Rampant abuse and bigotry does, and that is the reality most Americans accept that you deny.

It’s dangerous being around strangers here, especially male ones who will overpower and beat/kill you in public for the slightest offense.

So people, especially women and trans folk, are safer in cars than they are on public transport.

And that’s nothing to say of the Jim Crow era, or how public transport was denied during the lockdowns depriving the elderly of freedom of movement.

No. Getting rid of cars will always be bad. You’ll never have your green utopia and you ought not to have it.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Ohh yes they can, and they do, all the time. Laws can’t protect people against their behavior because laws are enforced after the fact. Prevention is key here.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

It sucks being justified in being afraid, yes. And I am very, very justified in my stance, not just by historical standards but through personal experience and experiences of the people I care about. Public transport is the pits and a last resort people are forced to be dependent on for poverty. It CAN’T be the way forward for our people.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

And who cares if they suffer catastrophically as a result?

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Yep, my lifetime of assault and harassment on public transit is just an incorrect opinion. Fuck my lived experiences and those of everyone else, the only perspective that matters is your own because all that matters is you getting what you want.

Ugh. Just ugh.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Wow, holy shit, your best response is childish name calling and tone policing.

Everyone, this is what abusive people do when they are willing to be immoral to get what they want. When faced with a legitimate grievance they can’t refute, they attack the person, in this case in the most blatantly childish way possible.

Basically he knows forcing people to use public transit will cause innocent people to suffer more violence but he doesn’t care about that, he only cares about his feelings and he’s willing to force you to be beaten, assaulted, even killed to get his way.

Think of your daughters and wives who would be groped, beaten, sexually assaulted, and murdered in the name of appeasing this hopeless retard, and then ignore him.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Those gun laws are never enforced fairly and are just a thin legal veil to justify racism and oppression of minorities. If you cared about PoC, you wouldn’t support gun control at all.

This whole debate reeks of racist white coffee-drinking liberal. 🤦 And if saying that sounds racist to you, remember what was said about the white moderate back in the 60’s.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Based AF

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Yeah, scratch a liberal and a pro-establishment bootlicker bleeds. 🤦

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Why do you ask stupid, loaded questions?

Why are you arguing with me in bad faith?

Why are you wasting your Saturday arguing with me?

pinkdrunkenelephants,

No, I was asking you, but your response here tells us clearly that no, you’re not here in good faith and you’re not going to waste any more of my time. Go outside

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Honestly, it’s always better to just have customizable characters as a default if it’s possible specifically for this reason.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Lmfao nah, slavery of any kind is one of those moral absolutes that humanity accepts for good reason. There is NO case where it’s acceptable. Literally NONE. 🤦

pinkdrunkenelephants,

That’s exactly the spirit we need to adopt.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

They only say that to subjugate you and stop you fighting back, and, worst of all for them, getting a positive outcome which would disprove the dogma they impose on you and take away the control they have on all of us and the culture.

Never EVER listen to anyone who tells you not to stoop to an opponent’s level, for they are only speaking to take advantage of the situation and assert dominance over everybody, which harms all of us.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

In other words: “You showing sadness or despair is making me feel bad so I demand you to stop. My feelings and convenience is more important than yours. I am totally not a narcissist”

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Incivility is always just a transparent excuse to censor content someone in power doesn’t like. It happens to me all the time on Lemmy, of all places. It’s not a platform problem, it’s just the human condition.

People need to keep their worldviews stable to keep the narratives of their lives straight, and toppling them over causes extreme psychological damage, so I actually don’t blame them for doing that. It is just self-protection for them, even if it is harmful for everyone else.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Things people in the real world need to accept, numbers 1-45

pinkdrunkenelephants,

I just now realized I was justifying a 196 meme with a serious response. I need to go touch grass

pinkdrunkenelephants,

People seriously blame Edmund for how he acted? Knowing he was like, what, 10? 11, maybe? 🤔

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Someone made a laundry list of evidence demonstrating it’ll very likely be an actual thing but I can’t find it anywhere. When I do, I’ll post it

EDIT: AHA! I FOUND IT! It’s a Reddit comment, but so it goes. Blatantly ripping off here:

It’s not just the insurrection act.

It includes:

1-Argue that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

edition.cnn.com/2023/11/16/politics/…/index.html

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.

3-Use the DoJ to target critics

4-Weaken the election security agency

abcnews.go.com/Politics/…/story?id=102261352

5-Reject climate change

theguardian.com/…/project-2025-dismantle-us-clima…

6-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections

metroweekly.com/…/right-wing-project-2025-seeks-t…

7-Bring the Bible into government

msnbc.com/…/project-2025-heritage-foundation-chri…

For reference, they’re talking about this monstrosity of a plan Trump has set up for if he takes power in November. Don’t actually vote against Biden even if you support Palestine. Shit’s unreal. Shit’s very clear and obvious .50 cal territory.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

That’s just rhetoric people tell themselves to convince themselves they have power they actually don’t.

You know what happens when you tell an enemy you forgive them? They respond, “Excellent! I’m no longer responsible for doing THIS,” and then they repeat the behavior you sold out your self-respect thinking you could score a gotcha moment over.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Those are mobile restaurants run by kitsune who cross dimensions to serve a variety of clientele. You just happened to have stumbled inside on the night before they left to another realm. Consider thyself lucky, mortal, for their food is god-tier

GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour (www.forbes.com)

While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

That’s a terrible idea. You’d pay more than an entire paycheck just to play a typical JRPG which typically have 40+ hours of gameplay. I’m not paying $600 to play one game.

This is developers incrementally conditioning you to accept an even worse state of things for games. And if they follow through, I’ll pirate their shit and never give them a dime of my money again.
