      mcdonald's french fries literally taste like cardboard, and have roughly the texture of it too. and yet i still couldnt imagine not eating them. im convinced ronald mcdonald himself place some kind of drug in those fries to make them desirable despite being entirely unappealing in every way

          This isn't true. Adding salt and fat to the natural starches in potatoes is plenty addictive—there's no need to make things up.

              I'm aware of how frozen fries are made. A couple second dip in the water doesn't suddenly turn french fries into cocaine. The sugar content is negligibly different from anything you'd make at home.

      Since their fries are so thin, I imagine they get cold very quickly when you order delivery.

        McDonald's burgers don't start very hot, so I'd imagine that's just as cold as the fries by the time you get it.

        It shocks me people order that shit delivery. I get feeling lazy and ordering in occasionally, but if you're already paying the outrageous doordash fees, kick a couple extra bucks and get something good.

      Matt used to get really anxious that we’d end up on the street with nothing & i always told him we’d be ok because we have a community that will catch us if we fall. we catch them when they need & they catch us when we need. this past year that keeps being reinforced.

      our community is what saved Matt’s life last september, has made everything possible for us since then & it saved his life again yesterday. i have a tendency to isolate when stressed but i know i need people & Matt is a social butterfly & needs to be around people.

      so i’ve been working hard on not isolating. i decided to have regular bbqs pretty much every Sunday, as a sort of makeshift church. i’m so grateful for this community & i wanted a way to keep it strong. at our bbq yesterday Matt had a seizure. everyone was so quick to respond.

      call 911, help move him to the ground, do chest compression, watch the baby and dogs while we went to the hospital. i don’t know what we would’ve done without them. he’s stable & back to baseline. but this is all to say, yes that banger tweet was sent from the hospital.

        id imagine fast food places with tacos would have a more left leaning audience given most taco serving places primarily reside in left leaning states and get that uptick due to high people (e.g Del Taco, Chipotle), and to a less regional extent, Taco Bell and Jack in the Box.

    Hey you. You're finally awake. Have you seen what Steve Cohen said about me yesterday? He called me some very nasty things on Twitter. Can you believe it? Twitter, or X as its now called. Elly Musk gave me money the other day, little Elly Musk and his electrical cars. You know what I think about them, right? They're so boring.

    It's the gas-guzzling cars that I like. Gimme a big truck any day, that's how Americans - look, they say the environment this, and the environment that, but where is all the money going? It's not going to the environment, that's for sure. It's all going to China, and we know what they're doing to our environment there.

    Politics aside, I hope he pays for all relevant medical and funeral expenses and also some on top. I know this wouldn’t lessen the pain but I think this is the least he could do.

      He was at a McDonald's and said, "I'm buying!" while surrounded by a crowd of fans. Then he left without paying. Trump isn't paying for anyones funeral.

      I'm not even sure he should, morally speaking. It's not like the guy jumped in front of the bullet to save Trump. If Igot shot at by a crazed fan at a Taylor Swift concert I wouldn't expect her to pay my hospital bills.
