Ask if it wants to hear the best joke in the world. Then tell it: “Der Mann, zwei Pandas, plitsch platsch, dreizehn, Sand, Augen zu bumm!”

It will die of laughter.

This will seem counterintuitive, but if this is your actual layout, move your wireless AP to either where the bed is or where the xbox is, assuming there’s power and wiring in either spot for it.

If only they paid $14 billion, it would have included the base64 to image capability.

Wired + Mesh Wifi is the best combo. House not wired? Try powerline Ethernet. It does degrade the more you have so I only have it for my computer and PS5.

People make this out to be worse than it is, it’s not a big deal and probably better for the players in the sense that it makes the event more casual

meliaesc ,

They didn’t travel to the white house expecting or hoping for “casual”. They got cold fast food because the entire government had been shut down.

ILikeBoobies ,

They went because they felt they had to

Anything that makes it more casual and less of an obligation is a good thing

meliaesc ,

This reflects more of your opinion about obligations, or how you would feel in this situation, than anything else.

ILikeBoobies ,

Lol

meliaesc ,

It’s an honor to be invited to dinner with the leader of your country. When that leader can’t pay the staff to make the dinner, so he orders McDonald’s, it’s not a relief.

ILikeBoobies ,

It’s not an honour, it’s work

Same as if the CEO of your company brought you out to eat

Stop idolizing people, it’s dumb

meliaesc ,

You’re being honoured for your work achievements…

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

If I just won a national championship and was invited to the White House, I wouldn’t think, “I hope this is a casual affair.”

ILikeBoobies ,

Well you probably never accomplished anything but most people, especially athletes who have had to be on a strict diet all season would rather party and just joke amongst themselves

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

So you think Trump saying, “there’s a partial government shutdown, so we can’t give you a fancy catered dinner full of the fanciest food you’re ever likely to eat in your life because it is literally made for the world’s royalty, but instead I’ve dug deep into my rich man pockets and spent $3000 on some room temperature Big Macs and Chick-Fil-A” is something that would appeal to them? Yeah, I guess you’re right. I mean it’s not like you’d want to be treated like a king after winning a national championship. Much better to have to travel to DC at the team’s expense and have the president buy them the worst possible burger he could have bought them.

But sure, it’s because I’ve never accomplished anything that I wouldn’t understand why someone would be honored to eat a Big Mac paid for out of Trump’s generous pockets when he could have had lobster flown in fresh from Maine. Or, I don’t know, catered well-made burgers from a good burger place. I’m guessing D.C. has one or two local places that might just possibly taste a little better than what they’ve got at McDonald’s.

ILikeBoobies ,

Much better would be drinking all night and not going at all

how did you get “honoured to eat a burger” from “not as big a deal as people make it”

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not even that it’s a burger. It’s that he put it on display as a banquet, talked about how he paid for it personally, and he acted like they should be honored to eat the burger.

And, again, maybe it’s because I’ve “never accomplished anything” that I would hope that the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES would spring for more than a cold Big Mac after inviting me to the WHITE HOUSE.

I’d do what I could to offer those guys more than a cold Big Mac if I invited them to my house and I’m by no means someone who brags about his fabulous wealth.

I think they deserved to be treated better regardless of you think what they would have wanted because of all of your amazing accomplishments. I’m sorry, but your Nobel Prize doesn’t mean they aren’t entitled to be treated with at least the modicum of dignity as a visiting head of state.

I mean at the absolute very least keep them warm instead of taking them all out for a photo op where they’ll get cold! Is that making too big a deal out of it? Saying they were entitled to a warm Big Mac when visiting the President of the United States at the White House who brags to you about paying for it with his own money?

ILikeBoobies ,

I thought by now you would have deleted this since it illustrates how people blow it way out of proportion

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, expecting someone to get warm food when they get invited to the White House is an embarrassing position and I don’t know why I haven’t deleted it yet. Maybe it’s my lack of accomplishments.

MacNCheezus , to lemmyshitpost in This
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I know I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this, but the amount of hate he got for doing this was about as unwarranted as Obama’s white suit episode.

There was a government shutdown and the White House catering staff was on unpaid leave. And he was hosting a football team, not some delegation of international politicians. He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house. His guests had no complaints either, only the press hated it.

LodeMike OP ,

It’s kinda funny. And don’t you mean tan suit?

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Yes, that’s what I meant.

hperrin ,

Maybe he could have gotten restaurant food instead of fast food. Just because they’re a football team doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate good food.

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

It was a college football team. Basically a bunch of dudes in the early 20s. You think they care about fine dining?

groupofcrows ,

Im not going to bother looking for it but there are videos of the players coming into the room and one of them is heard asking if this was a joke/real. They were dressed up for fine dining at a respected instituition, not a family BBQ at the park.

hperrin ,

At the White House? Yes. Like, literally, are you a fucking dumbass? How hard in the head were you hit as a child? Or are you just the trashiest of trailer trash that’s ever existed?

NightAuthor ,

But also… the picture.

He basically did a McBang.

TrickDacy ,

I don’t think anyone would really even remember if he hadn’t written hAmBeRdEr. No one was talking for weeks about how this incident clearly made him an inappropriate president. We laughed and moved on for the most part. Not remotely the same as the tan suit “incident”.

eran_morad ,

Obama looked fly in the tan suit, this just looks fucking awful. Would you serve this shit to your guests?

7u5k3n ,

TAN SUIT!!! How unamerican. The next thing you’re going to tell me is that he puts Dijon mustard on his hot dogs…

/s

Coreidan ,

You’d have to be a serious degenerate to go out of your way to eat a hot dog and not bother to put Dijon mustard on it.

cashews_best_nut ,

It’s that the suit people shat on him for? It looks good. I don’t get wtf problem is with people.

Wtf America?

eran_morad ,

It’s because republicans are racist.

MacNCheezus , (edited )
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

It wasn’t the fact that it looked good on him that he got crap for, it was the question whether it was appropriate for the occasion (a press conference discussing the potential escalation of military strikes in Syria).

Tradition demands that you wear a dark suit for something as serious as discussing the sacrifice of other people’s lives. A tan suit has more of a lighthearted vibe and is therefore something you’d wear to a festivity, not when discussing drone strikes.

en.wikipedia.org/…/Barack_Obama_tan_suit_controve…

Bonehead ,

He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house.

And this would be understandable if he were a middle class housewife. But this is the US president, during a shutdown caused by Trump. There should have been any number of restaurants that would have dropped everything to fill an order for the White House. This entire episode was just an embarrassment.

stevehobbes ,

A middle class family couldn’t afford this much McDonald’s. They’d also have more taste and class than to serve this.

Agreed they could call many restaurants that offer catering. Or, he, his wife, or any of his adult children could have made a home cooked meal for stellar optics instead of this travesty.

GiuseppeAndTheYeti ,

Fat fucking chance I’m eating a home cooked meal made by Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric. It would be fucking boiled potatoes, plain canned corn and green beans, and overcooked New York strip steaks.

stevehobbes ,

😂 and so much ketchup. A1 is too spicy.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Bold of you to think they know how to boil water or use a can opener.

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

But he looks so proud of himself. Can you really hate him for that?

Bonehead ,

Yes. And specifically for that exact reason.

IMongoose ,

My biggest problem with this is that he didn’t have any Taco Bell.

Buffaloaf ,

He could’ve just as easily hired someone to cater and make good food, instead he spent $5000 on fast food because he thinks that’s what college football players prefer.

Also, Trump was the reason for the government shutdown because he wanted funding for his bullshit border wall.

Nightwind ,

Yeah you’ll get downvoted, because spending 5k on cold hamburgers from McDonald’s ist not something anybody would do. It’s something an idiot would do. Everyone with two brain cells would have started calling large restaurants or catering providers and ask them if they can make something happen.

themeatbridge ,

Any caterer or restaurant in the DC Metro area would have provided $5000 worth of food for the publicity alone.

Coreidan ,

lol imagine thinking that wearing a tan suit and serving people cold ass McDonald’s is equivalent.

You trumpers try way too hard to find equivalencies when the easier option is to just admit what a fuck bag the dude is. He isn’t worth defending ffs.

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I’m not even a Trumper, I don’t care if he’s re-elected or not, but he certainly wasn’t as terrible a president as everyone says. Most of the drama was just the media making flies into elephants.

The families of the million Americans who died of COVID might disagree about those deaths being flies.

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

More people died of COVID while Biden was in office than on Trump’s watch.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, because Trump and his people are anti-vaxxers who have convinced their legions to never vaccinate or wear a mask and they keep dying. And Biden has never suggested a bleach cure.

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Trump supported the vaccine you idiot. It was the Democrats who were against it while he was in office, and then promptly wanted to make the very same vaccine mandatory as soon as Biden took over.

Sorry, stopped reading at the insult. I have no interest in Reddit-style behavior. If you want to talk to me with the courtesy I have afforded you, I will go back and read the rest of your post.

I have a feeling this will be replied to with another insult.

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Sorry, stopped reading at the insult.

“I’m going to ignore your source because you used a bad word” is probably the most Reddit thing I’ve seen here in a while.

I have a feeling this will be replied to with another insult.

You attacked me without provocation, why would I do you the favor of doing what you want from me?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I said nothing about a bad word. I said insult. Why are you being dishonest about what I said?

I also did not attack you. This is our entire conversation:

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/60f15410-abe4-4e75-af7b-caead92331c0.png

Where is the attack? Because as far as I can see, I criticized Trump and then you called me an idiot.

I would like you to point out where I supposedly attacked you, please.

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I didn’t call you an idiot for criticizing Trump, I called you an idiot for bringing it up as a criticism against Trump even though far more people died of it under Biden’s watch.

There’s a subtle difference here, can you see it?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I really don’t care why you insulted me. There was no appropriate reason for the insult.

And you didn’t show me where I attacked you. Did I attack you? If so, please quote the attack. I have already given you a clear opportunity.

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

It wasn’t as much an attack on me personally as you just saying something spectacularly stupid.

I’m sorry for calling you an idiot. I should have said “mentally challenged” instead.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Okay, I’m not going to talk to you anymore. You keep insulting me and you told a silly lie when you said I attacked you.

Goodbye. I’m sure you will use this opportunity for a third insult.

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I appreciate you for being a good sport and not banning me because of our disagreement, and I hope you have a very nice rest of your day.
