I'm reminded of when McDonalds did their Rick and Morty szechuan sauce promotion, and basically no place actually had it.

It was a big story that Rick and Morty fans harassed workers complaining that the franchise lied to them.

It got so bad that McDonalds released an app to show where and when stories had the sauce, and announced they'd be selling posters as well. Unfortunately, some locations lied or at least misused the app to say they had the sauce when they didn't.

So I went to one location with my brother, and we found a line forming outside. The store wasn't allowed to sell the posters till late in the afternoon for some reason, and wouldn't let anyone there for the sauce even enter the building with cashiers actively blocking any Rick and Morty fan from entering, even just looking college age was enough to be refused entry.

I thought this was ridiculous and just said "Wow, the only thing that'd make this worse is if they didn't have the sauce.", only for the lady guarding the door to tell me that they did indeed not have the sauce, despite the app saying they did.

There was this guy simping hard for her, mi'lady style, and a bunch of brodudes talking about how they're so Nihilistic and Smart "JUST LIEK RICK!", whole thing was a shit show. He said "Oh yeah, no they don't have the sauce, I asked."

He was eating cheeseburgers despite not being allowed in, apparently you could have the food brought out to you if you used the app.

It was fucking cold that day. Still feels like, even false advertising aside, something about this had to be illegal.

So I said "Fuck this, I'm leaving.", just got into my car, went to Wendy's, ordered chicken nuggets and the most asian sounding sauce they had. Posted one of the only food selfies I've ever done of what I ordered

"Was going to post me eating the sauce, but I went to Wendy's instead because this store actually has products they claim to offer."

A friend of mine asked the next day what was up with that post, because Food Selfies or even regular selfies are just THAT out of character for me, and I told him the story.

He looked at me geniunely impressed, and said "Wait, you valued your own self-respect over the 'cool corporate thing', voiced your dissatisfaction, and calmly left without making a scene or embarassing yourself? If anyone was Rick at this event, it was you"

I just said "Huh", as I didn't do that to be cool, I was just hungry, wanted to buy nuggets, and didn't get them from a store that lied about having them...

It was then that my brother, who had been with me when we went to McDonalds spoke up, admitting he didn't even think of what we actually did that day either, we just up and said "Screw you guys, I'm coming home." and said one of the wisest things I'll never forget

"If you think you're Rick, it means you're Jerry."

This, the whole media is complacent by calling Democrats a "Party struggling to be relevant", and claiming Trump is "So popular!"

When these town halls prove the exact opposite

The Media is worried about getting slapped with an "Anti-DEI" executive order if they mention anything Non-Trump

I feel like we'd exchange the Elon Musks of the world for the JK Rowlings of the world, the Ronald Reagans for the Margaret Thatchers, and the Donald Trumps for the Ayn Rands.

Fairer sex my ass

The only reason you don't think women can be evil is because you're too used to the idea of women as damsels to be rescued, too childish to be a threat to anyone. This is because the patriarchy hates the idea that a woman can be competent moreso than a man, even in acts of evil.

Have you not seen tumblr? You'll just get Elon Musk with a vagina and a hate-on for anyone capable of having a hard-on.... Even if they aren't men.

So an even more mask-off JK Rowling

Sadly correct.

Anyone smart enough to become Dr. Robotnik (Eggman to you whippersnappers) isn't evil

Anyone wealthy enough to become Batman isn't noble, disciplined, or concerned with others.

This is why these are fictional characters.

  1. I used to work for Wal-Mart, this doesn't surprise me. They actually tried to have me written up for using a women's room as a transgender woman and decided not to only because I pointed out that that would be discrimination under the law (Trump wasn't president at the time) My days with the company were pretty much numbered after that. They're not looking for workers, they're looking for slaves; anyone who thinks they have rights aren't slaves.

  2. Isn't it obvious? The reason they want to criminalize transpeople, someone who's already an "invisible minority" is because any "Woke" behavior can be classified as "Trans" behavior... And anything the state doesn't like can be classified as "Woke", the Nazis actually did this by banning the teaching of any science and philosophy that was deemed to be too Jewish... Which was a net positive for the world for the sole reason of this meaning that Hitler never had the atomic bomb (He could have, but then he called the science behind it "Jewish Superstition masquerading as science." and ordered it halted)

Ya know in Sleeping Dogs, it's a plotpoint that undercover cops are found out because of their lack of a desire to kill.

That sure would be unrealistic if that game took place in America.

I hate that our lives are being ruined by people this stupid.

Why can't they be evil like the villains on TV, cold, calculating, and with an actual motive?

"The Democrats are for They/Them, not for you."

Talking like someone who judges groups solely by the actions of loud extremists and oversimplifies anyhting they don't understand.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

The problem is that's actually the opposite of how that works. If you refuse to care for the weak in your community, you foster this atmosphere of sociopathy and mistrust that causes the group to destroy itself.

Why the hell do you think there are only two Sith in Star Wars?
