  Boy do I have a story for you.

  I tried to order a quesadilla from chipotle. A online exclusive. Turns out online ordering for the location nearest me was broken so I went in and explained that I was unable to order it, and I asked if I can just get one anyway. They flat out said no.

  They refused to sell me a cheese quesadilla simply because it wasn’t ordered through their app/site which was broken. I just left and got food somewhere else.

  I’ve been boycotting chipotle ever since.

  Yeah I think that’s a great kit to dip your toes in with. Should work with Clone Hero and YARG too.

  They are similar but not quite the same. I haven’t played in a while but those games don’t have as robust hi hat capabilities as well as some of the other ways you can play a drum, such as using brushes or using the bell of the ride.

  Also depends on the type of e kit you buy. Some of those things are for more expensive models

  This is the answer. As someone who was in a similar situation

  I don’t disagree with anything you said. It is a privileged position to take, and I’m not denying that. This is the real life trolly problem.

  I think I’m getting tired of people putting survival over standing up to the system.

  Should people that still work at Twitter get a pass for the destruction it’s doing because there are lower level employees that need a paycheck to survive? How about employees at Google that indirectly enable Google to amass data at such a large scale it becomes impossible to have any privacy?

  I understand the need to survive. Does a McDonalds worker lose anything by not turning the guy in? Is 50k worth the potential long term gain for society if the rich become fearful?

  Maybe after a certain point even those trying to survive should be equally to blame for the negativity their contributions bring. Where that line is, I’m not sure.

  This transaction feels like a bribe to keep the poors in check. “Here’s enough money for a small trailer to live in. Have fun.”

  I don’t really feel bad for people affected by the storms who also vote for climate change deniers. Do you?
