Don’t eat there. Don’t spend money there. Take an explosive shit and don’t flush. This is praxis

    Funny enough, I was (probably unnecessarily) paranoid about mad cow diseases as a kid, so I literally haven’t eaten McDonald’s since 1995.

    I hate to be judgmental, but I’ll shocked when I see grown ass adults who are my age eating McDonald’s for leisure. (Poor people get a pass obviously)

            I went to IHOP the other day with a friend. I realized that I paid less for my friend and I to have lunch at a sit-down restaurant with an actual waitress (before tip), than I do for meals for my wife and myself through a drive-thru.

          Depends, it’s been around this price in certain regions of my state since at least 2020ish. For example I know near my college it used to be like $1-3 more per item than my home town (something I noticed back when I got food driving home once and got the golden arches at both ends). Now, I’m not quite where I grew up but from the few times I’ve been there prices have rose dramatically.

          Where I am now, a meal, without coupons and app deals, is like 15-20 dollars 13-18 if it’s medium.

        I’ve heard this. To be fair, there’s probably some vegan version of this that I’m guilty of, like Oreos or pints of vegan ice cream.

        As one gets older, the punishment gets heavier. My last alcohol hangover lasted six days.
