Well, hindsight is 20/20, but he also doesn’t have the best history of choosing hits. Maybe it’s his manager? Maybe he’s dumb.
He’s definitely an asshole, though.

The worst major fast food chain by a mile, and they’re pulling stupid shit like this.
Whatever your reasons are for paying ridiculous prices to eat crap at a place like this, they’re not good reasons. You can do better, you’re worth more. Stop abusing yourself.

You can stop buying from Amazon whenever you choose to. There are online alternatives to every product they sell. You don’t need to be part of it. Whatever excuse you give is wrong.

Well, yeah, it’s just a joke. Not a funny one, either.

I wondered about “California’s UPS with apartments above it”, so I searched. And, I found that Costco is building apartments above one of their stores.
Capitalism getting back to roots with indentured servitude just around the corner.

This is what I’ve done. I haven’t been out to eat since before the pandemic. I got used to making my meals at home.
- Comment on Connected cars can be hacked, research finds 2 days ago:
While I’m not surprised, it’s important that empirical research be done and published. It’s needed to bolster calls for regulation. Not that I, for one second, think we’ll get any meaningful regulation out of this in most countries.
Our best bet, as always, is to limit our technologies’ access to the internet as much as we can tolerate. Cars, doorbells, and refrigerators have no business connecting to the internet at all.

Yeah, that’s when I replaced mine, too. When they became too sensitive. They lasted about 16 years.

I think it’s worse when they get it right only some of the time. It’s not a matter of opinion, it should not change its “mind”.
The fucking things are useless for that reason, they’re all just guessing, literally.

This is proper use of robots. Repetitive work that is error-prone for humans to do.
Also, notice the robot is not in a human form, because it doesn’t need all of that overhead.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 3 days ago:
Veganism is unnatural because we’re all omnivores, and evolved eating both plants and animals.
Impregnating cows this way is also unnatural.
Both can be true.

- Comment on I've probably seen more naked ladies than my entire bloodline combined 4 days ago:
My body count is well over twenty, but nothing in the past eight years. I’m 60.
I’m not bragging, my number is pretty low compared to my contemporaries, even the women.
I do wonder about my virgin adult son, though. Not that I’d ever ask, it’s his business, not mine. Also, none of this matters at all. Not seeing pictures of nude women, not having sex. It’s just a nice aside to living life, not important.

Anyway, for the past four years or so, I’ve been eating nearly the same meals every day, and I’m fine with it. I know exactly what I’ll buy for the week’s groceries, and I waste zero food. My trip to the grocery store takes just over one hour every Sunday morning, including driving time. I take the same path through the store, and grab the same items off the shelves each time, and the store is practically empty at that time, so I just slow down to grab the item. However, on the rare occasion I decide to change an ingredient, I can spend a long time trying to decide on a replacement.
Last year, I wanted to stop using packaged picante sauce, which I used for eggs, and as a replacement for ranch salad dressing for about a year previous. The packaged has too much salt, also I’ve been reducing the processed foods I buy. First, I looked for one that had lower salt, and the few they had were too expensive. So, I decided to try to make my own. That meant I had to buy several ingredients I didn’t before. I did it for about six months, but really didn’t like it, and it was more work every Sunday after I got home from shopping. So, instead, I just dropped it altogether. That meant I dropped the salad with chicken, because I couldn’t find a suitable dressing replacement with low salt. So, now I’m down to my hot meal with chicken and vegetables all the time. I thought it would be rough having the hot meal during the summer, but I did it all last summer and it was fine. Also, it’s one less aisle I go down during shopping.

They set up LLCs in Nevis, a tiny island nation that doesn’t disclose who owns what business. The filthy rich use these mailbox businesses to buy real estate, and launder money. None of it can be traced back to them.
