I remember reading a story about something like that at KFC. And the code phrase was you wanted an extra biscut or something.

CaptPretentious@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'Did I Miss Something?': Online Shoppers Shocked as Trump Tariffs Jack Up Prices 145%13·24 hours agoThere’s also the time JCPenney’s actually had everything at the best price and so they weren’t doing discounts. But everyone was waiting for the ‘sales’. Your average American would rather have something be marked up $200 and then listed as 75% off than just pay $50 regular price.

It’s a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there,” he said. “And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I’ll say, ‘If you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.’ ” - Trump
What a god damn clown. I can’t tell if he’s to stupid to realize what he’s doing… or knows exactly what he’s doing, and giving the most moronic responses to his actions. Basically, I can’t tell where on the IQ range he is, from “can’t wipe his own ass” or “actual genius”

Early 1900’s… it’s going to be about Nazi’s and the SS.
Early 2000’s… it’s going to be MAGA and ICE.
Imagine gatekeeping humor
Lol, people downvoting you like they weren’t manipulated into spending 10x as much for a product that can’t be repaired, all in the name of profit.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?3·9 days agoJust the show, since it was Game of Thrones. Figure book readers would go by the actual name.
There’s a short scene when he’s messing about in the past were he pops over to the King, and if I remember correctly, that’s when the King goes mad. Shouldnt be long after the Hodor scene. It’s been a few years. But I distinctly remember being like ‘wait, it was his fault!? That little shit!’
CaptPretentious@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?3·9 days agoSo you going to overlook the Bran, once he got access to his powers proceeded to messed with the brains of people. Hodor for one. The ‘mad king’ for the other. Of that we were shown.
Or how Bran does jack shit in the big fight, despite being able to.
And then it’s made king because… He had the most interesting story…
Countless people died because that little shit manipulated time and events to gain power.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.worldto Television@lemm.ee•What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in?English3·10 days agoSame. Curated clips get the point across and are enough.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?6·10 days ago!So that kid end up basically being the bad guy. Pretty much everyone would have been better off if he died!<
I mean, who could have expected that outcome!? Idk, I thought it was hilarious. But comedy is subjective.

They’re neat. Don’t own one.
I live in the Great plains… So maybe like a +100 ft.

A lot of people really need to stop taking advice from Twitter/X, Facebook/Meta, Reddit/Lemmy, etc.
Spare me the predictable reply “but why should I listen to you” or any variation.
No that would be Apple.

The number of anti consumer actions they take is amazing. They still hate YouTube. Instead of making their games not suck, they sue anyone who dares to try. They have a handful of console exclusive that even interest me, everything else I’ll get in Steam and it’ll play better, have cloud save, and a refund policy.
I bought a NES in the 80s because it was the most amazing, magical thing. Now I’m at the point of ‘Fuck Nintendo, let it fall’

Sorry, I don’t believe you’ve avoided movies for 20 years because “they aren’t making good movies” but refer to that movie as a 10/10, non-corpo slop. Messa thinks you’re lying.
Inglourious Basterds, The Departed, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Interstellar, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Grand Budapest Hotel, 12 Years a Slave, Django Unchained … fuck off with that excuse. And since you stopped on Star Wars, we can throw in several MCU movies (not all, but several). The cultural impact alone that Avengers: Endgame had by itself cannot be understated.
Beyond that, the sheer number of times you’ve defended these kids’ actions, this director’s comments… with “Who cares about it in this context?” like it’s a new phrase you’re really trying to get mileage out of… you’re way too invested.
My great-grandfather was there on D-Day.
A good portion of his descendants are hard Trump supporters and are pro-nationalism and pro-fascism.
Glad he’s not around to see his family literally turn and support the very things he fought against.
