Oh yeah, 100% “leopards ate my face” vibes
I’m from the UK and it’s not the worst fast food I’ve had. KFC is the really fucking dire brand here.
Jokes aside, I prefer Burger King to McDonalds, and I think it’s because McDonalds came under a lot more scrutiny in my country and had been forced to tone down their menu and marketing. Maccy D’s were the ones who rapidly expanded in the UK and also made bank from Happy Meals and the child market, so of course they’d have all eyes upon them.
McDonalds are trying to make their menus and advertising appear healthier, whereas BK are like “look at this sexy dripping quarter pound whopper, you know you want it you fat fuck!”
And that’s why I can order a Bacon Double Cheeseburger XL from my local BK and feel like I’m actually eating a burger, whereas the equivalent in a McDonalds costs 30% less but is half the size, doesn’t taste flame grilled and looks like it was rapidly cobbled from preprocessed shit that’s less than 32% meat.
I mean the Trumpists got what they wanted 🤷♂️
“Dude, you’re getting a Dell Max Pro Premium” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it…
I still remember when XPS was the premiere gaming brand Dell released to compete with the likes of Alienware, only for them to buy Alienware and relegate XPS to a higher budget multimedia catalog.
The names outstayed their welcome, but I cannot applaud them copying Apple’s homework.


I reported a comment that an OnlyFans model posted on Reddit that openly wished for his daughter (Marine Le Pen) to get Luigi Mangione’d, mainly to see how they’d enforce their rules when it’s not a corporate CEO being threatened.
Apparently Steve Cuckman and his team deemed it didn’t break their rules on inciting violence.


At this point Denmark should just ask for a few hundred billion, and then give every Danish citizen a huge payout.
If Trump wants Greenland, make him pay for it.
Boss makes a dollar
I make a dime
That’s why I’m jerkin
On company time.
Instances are moderated by their moderators. Other instances that would rather not associate with a different instance can withdraw federation. I think the system works fine.
Difference between Reddit and Lemmy is that you can legit say “I’ll start my own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers” and expect it to make an impact.
Whereas with Reddit, whatever Spez says is law, even if it’s as consistent as bird shit on a car windscreen.


Moon Man isn’t really a vaporwave thing. It’s a meme that originated from YTMND in the late 2000’s which rebranded Mac Tonight as a white supremacist rapper, often accompanied with slur-filled text-to-speech parodies of various rap songs.
It’s not the reason McDonalds ditched the mascot (that was due to an entirely unrelated trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Bobby Darin’s son in 1989), but it is a big reason why they started actively pulling down Mac Tonight animatronics in their restaurants which were otherwise being left disused.
The most infamous Moon Man thing to exist is a controversial DOOM mod which replaces all the enemies with incredibly xenophobic depictions of minorities, and adds a roster of several playable characters including him, Hitler and Ben Garrison.
Reddit mods being power tripping cucks as usual.


It worked for Trump. One of his pledges was to pardon Ross Ulbricht.
It’s gone viral on several meme pages I follow on Facebook…
Also if this employee doesn’t get rewarded for the tip-off that led to Luigi’s arrest, what kind of message is that going to send to the public about law enforcement? It’s just going to reinforce the already-growing ACAB narrative and make people distrust the police even further…
Heck, the very real possibility of being publicly outed, shamed, harassed and threatened for being the one to rat on Luigi, and not getting the promised $60,000 reward could end up radicalising more people.


That $50,000 bounty is likely a bigger payout than two years of wages as a burger flipper…
Had something similar to this happen to me when I was about 9.
In primary school I was invited to a birthday party. We played truth or dare. A Portuguese girl in my class was dared to kiss me. She actually started crying because she really didn’t want to go near me.
Not even the worst rejection I had.
If they think Dollar Store Hitler is going to stand up for small businesses then they’re about to have a rude awakening.
