You know all the twitch streamers hate this.
I’m participating in this on principle, but mostly on bankruptness.

Also very true. But I’m not convinced it was the right choice, just because the brand is confident in it. UHC likely did research to choose a CEO, and look how that turned out.

This is about the US, the undisputed capital of the fast food world. That is definitely not the case.

Isn’t the business model based on getting people to love it when they’re kids and become addicted then, before they’re able to critically think about food, and then coasting on the people that have fond memories of it?
The adults going there now were kids in the 80s and 90s, and remember the old style. No kid gives a rip about a place that looks like this, with no characters or colors. Even today when I see red and yellow together it makes me think of them, but now it’s all gray, brick, and beige, with a dollop of yellow just for the logo.
Personally I like this boring look fine. But damn if it’s not gonna take a huge hit from being loved by generations that have no memory of fast play places and mascots.
Getting rid of the play area is probably good though because I mean really they are gross if you just think for a few seconds. But capitalism does dictate wringing every drop of injury money from anyone whenever possible.
Now while I support draining the bucks from corporations, ruining opportunities for kids to have fun memories too. If only having fun wasn’t so injury-prone.

- Comment on I love the future. 1 week ago:
Imagine believing that taking ANOTHER medicine that is definitely totally unproven (but the commercial has a guy in a lab coat reading a script, so you know they absolutely “did their homework”- even if this didn’t phase them before- but it’s ok when they already believe it), just so you can make sure you’re more vulnerable to a disease.
These people have noticed no ill effects, yet they’d rather pretend to get rid of that and take on a new risk.
And when the pill is later proven to not do anything (if it hasn’t already, hell if I know just from seeing this), they will claim the vaccine was pointless when they still don’t get COVID.
I hope and wish this pill is super poisonous and they have a hellish vomit sickness that wrecks them for days. Some of them will claim they’re proof to suffer to get the vaccine out, but it will give others pause for sure.

- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 2 weeks ago:
You right. I shouldn’t have been commenting shit yesterday. I’m honestly not like that, I just let this news vortex get in my head and I boil over sometimes.
They’re such an easy target to get righteous anger over. Part of be realized it even as I typed it, but I should’ve just deleted it like you would trash a handwritten note just to get it out of your system.
Right Wing did deluded me for years (almost at 10 years since I started leaving that culture behind. Nazis kinda combine the hatred I have for them specifically and lately it’s combined with my triggers for how right wing garbage poisoned me for so long that it doesn’t just boil over, it goes from soup cooking temperature to a nuclear reactor when they’re in lockstep.
And of course the blind rage reverts back to it’s familiar roots, and I fucking destroy what I’m trying to be with what I say.
Good on you for calling it out.
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 2 weeks ago:
Someone that bought his place at the white house did it and didn’t get shot by a flamethrower, so all the Nazis hiding literally just below the surface feel ok to talk a little louder now.
Honestly, with sufficient evidence it should be legal to kill them in public and receive any inheritance from their wills. I don’t typically enjoy personally hunting people down typically, but these aren’t people.
One comment blatantly in favor of it Goodies any human rights in my opinion. It’s the only way. They may say it too (vermin, poisoning the blood, etc) but they’ve only ever been right about themselves.
I would give a pedo human rights before them. And that’s saying something.
They’re just rabid animals, and I defy anyone to give a reason they deserve a single second of life at all, for any reason, in any context. Maybe with the one exception of using them to find gatherings of others. But that’s it.
- Comment on Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs 2 weeks ago:
Wow. I probably have it have played 4 or 5 on that entire list. And none of them in the past 5 or do years.
It’s still a shitty thing to do for sure. Maybe there will be a new “thing” that starts getting used instead? Ray tracing has gotten way more coverage than PhysX ever did, and imo is like 3% as good or interesting.
Physics actually have gameplay interactions that matter. Ray tracing looks nice, but is so absolutely expensive computationally that (imo) is not even CLOSE to being worth the effort if turning on, even with compatible hardware.
Give us better physics, games! My main time sink rn is Rocket League, and that game is literally nothing but physics. Mostly simple physics, but stuff behaving in a logical way makes my brain a lot happier than better lighting ever did.
I like when y’all grass became an actual object that could be moved around by players, or when tossing an item on the ground actually does it tossed down and colliding with other objects while texting to them appropriately (as in fire starting, or weight holding something down a certain amount). That stuff is potentially game creating, definitely feature drinking.
Has anything AT ALL been affected by “pretty lights” beyond making them pretty? If it has, I’ve never heard of it.
Keep games about a gameplay experience, not just a visual feast. Save that tech for movies or playable stories (ie Telltale type). Focus only on the gameplay experience otherwise. Toss in some ray tracing when you can, but NEVER at the expense of physics. It just doesn’t make any sense.

Good first step, but I’m scared by the word “unbiased”.
For a conservative, there’s no way that means “unbiased”, it’s gonna man “un-leftist”, because clearly there are only “wokes” and “normals”, and he’ll expect you to see a “normal”.
Maybe he’s ahead of the curve, but that word strikes great in me.
At the very least he does seem to actually understand it without resorting to insulting terms or snide comments, so I have hope for him.
I really hope this works out for you, OP.

- Comment on Sleepy Bees 3 months ago:
Not in my experience.
There have been so many yellow jackets and wasps that used to live in front of this house, and they tended to dive bomb anyone headed between the driveway and front door.
That and I got caught up in a swarm when a friend of mine stepped on a yellow jacket best when we were all about 7 or 8. I just happened to be nearby and got stung 16 times. My younger brother got hit at least 18 (they list count at that point) and he needed an epi for even though without a known allergy to bee stings. Maybe after almost 20 songs you get symptoms anyway.
Either way, I’ve never forgiven bees since that day and I never will. I’m not out hunting them down or anything, but if I encounter them, and it’s somewhere I have regular need to go, they’re getting evicted without warning with prejudice. And I will laugh while they’re dying.
- Comment on Sleepy Bees 3 months ago:
Didn’t care. If they got stingers and live too close to me, they are getting squished out poisoned without mercy.

I feel like it does imply that though. “tablet-fed” really does sound more severe than just using it having one around.
- Comment on Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills 5 months ago:
I can see the alphas railing against the term “tablet-fed”. They are NOT gonna like that.
That’s gonna be what us cranky old millennials call them later while we would be yelling at them to get off our lawn. But we won’t yell that, because none of us will own any yards.

This one just seems lazy. They’re clearly not the same species directly. So do we have the whole evolution chat won’t, or do some skip being Kangaskhan to become Marrowaks, or what? This has so many holes on its face.
Of course, these theories are made by kids while playing and trading cards. So it makes sense.

But don’t Chars die if their tail goes out? Or is this some weird cross evolution mechanic now?
- Comment on Gen 1 Pokémon Fans Are In Awe As Cubone’s Face Is Discovered In Old 90s Picture Book | Retro Dodo 6 months ago:
The story behind Cubone never made any sense to me. Maybe I missed something.
But his skull helmet has the whole sad sorry about Mommy attached to it, yadda yadda. Ok, so that story fits for one specimen, or maybe a couple. But is there some massive killing spree on Marrowaks out there that all their mothers die after a single kid? How is this species not extinct?
Their population is cutting in at least half every generation, and for some reason, no offspring are ever seen before their mother perishes, is dead long enough to pry out her skull, and have it somehow fit conveniently as a hat. Or maybe they’re pushing down great grandma’s skull, I don’t know.
But this species never made any sense, because they all have it. If it was just a particular one everything makes sense, but this is some insane shit.
