When I found a loophole for cheap Wendy's food, I absolutely abused it a dozen times as a poor college student. It involves receipts and going to different Wendy's.

Some people really do forget that a comedian isn't a well-versed expert in the shit they talk about, and their primary intent is entertainment.

Ol Rudy is textbook boomer.

Confident as fuck, while constantly getting shit on.

And also like a boomer, they continue to get away with it.

I never actually thought about this.

Why exactly are storm drains designed like that with a opening for little kids to get sucked in?

Do other countries (with similar weather) have the same problems?

Even small businesses got fucked.

Seeing $9 for a freaking cheese sandwich at a coffee shop? It's not even gourmet shit. In my city, the average sandwich and a drink is about $15. This is convenience stores, deli counters, food trucks, bars.

They all had to raise prices because corporations raised prices.

I traveled to Japan and was blown away at their food culture.

They have convenience stores and supermarkets that sell full lunches for a few bucks (300-600 yen). The workers have no issues microwaving your food. So getting lunch for under 1000 yen ($7.50) was extremely common, even in big cities like Tokyo.

Their fast food (western like McDonald's, as well as the gyudon restaurants like yoshinoyas) are also still cheap.

The last thing is just the cultural difference. Customers will outright shame a restaurant if it's too expensive and it sucks. You see it all the time on Google Reviews. And restaurant owners (of which I spoke to a few) are often too terrified to raise prices because of that shame. One restaurant owner flat out told me that he feels embarrassed to raise prices because he believes his food brings folks happiness and he doesn't want to hurt the average Japanese.

In high school, the conservative kids refused to accept homosexuality occurred in Greek culture. Then when they finally did accept it, said it was why God destroyed their civilization?

That's often issue #1. Every gun nut makes up all sorts of stories about how difficult it is to get. Then the gun is in the hands of a child, immediately blames the parents or shitty environment.

Here's something fucked up.

I'm a software engineer making serious bucks, and my job's plan is like a fraction of most people. When I worked at a bar, I was paying twice as much in today's dollars.

Gonna need proof of this.

Nearly everyone I met was rocking iPhones. It was kinda frustrating as a android user.

“Missourians should not be held liable for legal expenses on judgments due to state senators falsely attacking a private citizen on social media,” Parson wrote in a Monday letter to his administration commissioner.

This is the most sane statement I ever heard. And it came from Missouri? That's worth triple points.

NGL I apply to places where I use the software. But it's not one thing, it's a dozen things I would fix.

I actually never successfully got the job. Probably because during the interview, I come off like a rambling psychopath pointing out extremely specific things.

The Republicans did it - they protected underage marriage!

Shame. The game looked great. But the beta state and bugs kept me from committing.

Not certain how the company plans to fix all of that with a smaller staff.

I sometimes replace my butter on toast with eggs with applesauce on toast with applesauce. I call it a pile of sadness.

Late-90s, early-2000s McDonald's was peak.

Dollar menu. Pokemon toys. Some has N64 play areas.

I was shocked to see this post. I honestly thought it was dead after 2015.

I work in tech so at least 80% of people play video games. Either hardcore or casually, on their phones, PCs or Steam deck. The other 20% don't play video games because they're busy with life, like they just had kids.

I feel like if a boomer-minded take like, "Vidja games are for kids yuk yuk", literally everyone would rip into them.
