There was this wonderful slice of time around a decade ago where fast food prices had started to rise but local sit-down places hadn’t. If you had the time and around $5-10 extra then it didn’t make sense to get fast food when you could get an actual meal.
Unfortunately inflation has caught up to even the local places now.

Yeah, you don’t get Taco Bell because you want real Tacos or Mexican food, just like how you don’t go to McDonalds for a good burger.
You get Taco Bell because it’s convenient, because you’re high as fuck and their crazy monstorsities sound like perfect munchies, or because the call of the void today has manifested in a craving for their specific style of shitty junk food.
Yeah, give me a soggy disintegrating taco with a fucking big dorito chip for the hard shell. I’m going to dump like 5 sachets of the hot sauce on it. And I’ll have the taco salad in a flattened wrap with the massive cheez-it in the middle. Oh, and the burrito half filled with rice and cheese that has extra cheese grilled onto the outside and spicy Doritos inside too. I’ll wash it down with a criminal amount of the formerly exclusive overly sweet Mountain Dew flavor.
Just fuck my shit up.

I’ve not seen womens pants available with larger pockets and non-form fitting. I’m not sure you can say it’s just a choice issue when the choice would be to just buy mens pants instead.

Will say from experience that beyond the general yuck, and logistics of having to clean puke off your junk and the surroundings, getting puke on the head of your penis is not pleasant. The acidity of it stings/burns. Do not reccomend.
- Comment on always watching 1 week ago:
Generally speaking it rests on “god” or “gods” being beyond our comprehension. The whole “biblically accurate angel” thing isn’t just a meme, it’s best effort attempts at making images of something described in a way that most people nowadays would consider borderline lovecraftian.
So it kinda follows that if those things are supposed to be the approachable messengers, than anything remotely human-like can’t map well to “form” of the god over them.
Biblically there’s already arguments for time not being a thing for the Christian god. If omniscience is truly what it says on the tin, there’s no reason that a being with it couldn’t care about what every creature in the universe is doing with their respective reproductive bits.

Yep. To anyone saying it takes up time that they need to get work done, remember the magic words “What would you like me to prioritize?”

Lol, you mean “go outside”? Pretty high bar for some internet denizens.
I’ve had plenty of conversations with religious folks that didn’t touch upon their holy texts at all. And plenty of conversations with atheists that were interminably about their what they thought those texts said.
Whenever someone generalizes a group so drastically like this, I tend to wonder about how limited their life experiences must be.
- Comment on i can't handle coffee 2 weeks ago:
Holy shit, I can’t be reading that right. FOUR espresso shots?
The issue isn’t your anxiety, it’s your completely unhinged idea of what a cozy little coffee is.
That’s close to the FDAs safe reccomended daily limit for caffeine, of fucking course you’re gonna spike your anxiety.

You’re right that the math doesn’t add up right. All I can go off of is my memory of the results after a year of driving in a way where I thought I was speeding often.
- Comment on Stay under the speed limit, guys. It's not worth it. 2 weeks ago:
There’s a nice little app on F-Droid called Speedr.
It checks your speed against what open street map has set as the speed limit for the road. It will record how often, how long, how much you drove over the speed limit during your drive.
It will then use that data to estimate the amount of time you actually saved.
I regularly drive ~15 mph over the speed limit to keep up with traffic. Do a long drive of more than eight hours at a time around every other month. In a year I saved under 20 minutes.
Maybe a more aggressive driver could get more savings, but as far as I’m concerned I’ll just leave a little earlier.

The point is that they do see all this, but it hasn’t died yet, which means it’s stronger than initially believed.
- Comment on Happy marriage 2 weeks ago:
Way to ruin it! I can only get off if my Shrek x Sonic is outside of wedlock.
Now on the other hand, if this is Shrek trying to move forward with Sonic after their bastard-affront-to-god hybrid shreknic baby died due to m-preg birth complications, and they have a poor marriage trapped in the shadow of that loss until Shrek starts an affair with Shadow?
Well then I’m back in.
- Comment on but like seriously do try it 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been using a mix of nature sounds to help fall asleep for years. If I’m having a particularly rough night, I’ll play some repetitive calm music I’m super familiar with as well, EQ’d to just be barely audible through the nature sounds. ADHD brain uses all the extra energy that would be keeping me up spinning ideas around to tune one or the other of the “two” audios out and I’m out pretty quick.

Time for a rewatch, it’s kinda worse.
Simba thinks he killed his father. Then some killers chase him away from his home and everything he’s ever known. Then he nearly starves to death.
These two fuckers charge up on a lark, just looking for kicks by scaring buzzards, only barely stopping to care when one notices he’s still breathing, and only then because they want to use him as their personal bodyguard.
Then they tell his starving carnivore ass to eat some bugs, and finally the “have you just tried shutting the fuck up and ignoring your trauma?”

It’s not very complicated, people are cheap and try to save money in the stupidest ways. They also trust lying salespeople.
Can’t tell you how many million dollar plus systems/software I’ve been involved with integrating at my workplace (not law enforcement related) where the main reason the damn thing was purchased turns out to be non-functional due to no one checking the sales guy’s claims until the contract ink is all dry.

- Comment on Hey Grok 3 weeks ago:
Does he really, or does he employ people who have this knowledge?
Even giving him the biggest possible benefit of the doubt, ignoring his politics, and ignoring just about everything else negative about him… so many of his projects miss their announced release dates with little to no technical discussion/disclosure on why.
On top of that, we only need to look at his short lived attempt to style himself as a particularly skilled gamer. If he was so clearly lying and cheating (by using an account built by someone else) on something that inconsequential, it should cast significant doubt on his other claimed skills and accomplishments (if none of his other shit caused that doubt for you yet).

I love how everyone is assuming that anon is saying that’s why not to have an elven waifu. So wholesome.
Being a 4chan post, there’s a pretty big chance that this is someone explaining why they get off to elven waifus.

It’s worth noting that Penny’s Big Breakaway is made by the majority of the people who made Sonic Mania. And the Sonic Android ports.
So it’s very well polished.
