Putting some site in charge of determining what news is valid just means that site controls the bias. I like the wide mix that we get now. Partisan commenters are more of a problem than bias in the sources. It’s best when there are informed commenters who point out issues. Sometimes we have them, though not always.

Sir_Kevin , in McDonald’s earnings, revenue miss estimates as consumer pullback worsens
@Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Two days ago my gf had a few bites left of a McDonald’s cheeseburger and offered it to me. I took one bite and said “No thanks”. That she not taste or feel like food. The kicker is that she then offered it to the cat, who will eat anything. I will swear to whatever god you believe in, that cat turned his head away like she was presenting a decayed corpse. She tried two more times and he literally ran away from this burger.

The fact that this shit is overpriced on top of being horrible food adds insult to injury. I don’t understand how McDonald’s was ever popular to begin with.

Please don’t feed cats human food.

Even if they’re shitbags.

FWIW I never do, but I’ve given up trying to tell her that.

corsicanguppy ,

The cat only gets cheese when the dog does, and very little. And not from me – they hit her up for it and she caves.

corsicanguppy ,

being horrible food

This is the most upsetting of all. I worked a combined 4 years at various restaurants in the 90s (from styrofoam packaging to ‘queueing’ micro-wave eras), the last part while in college and needing a place where I could get long shifts and legal free food – hint: Cool Runnings. It was maligned often, even then, but it was honest food, still – it was mass-cooked, but it was beef and actual pickles and actual onions and real ketchup and such. People complain about it being oily or bland, and that’s a taste thing we can’t refute; but it was beef and bread and cheese, and that job and a bus pass got me most of the way through where rice and beans couldn’t.

like she was presenting a decayed corpse

I mean… it quite literally is a ground up corpse. Given this is McDonald’s, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a little decayed as well.

Yeah, a lie promoted by his campaign and his doctor who doesn’t have a fucking medical license.

Dymonika ,

I don't remember reading that; what article said that?

Sincerely,

dragontamer ,

Trump’s Doctor said a bunch of things.

I 100% believe that those articles existed (largely echoing Trump’s doctor), even if I didn’t see them personally. Different segments of the press assign different amounts of reliability to different political figures. It seems like the Democrats / Leftist print is to the advantage here compared to the Right who published the articles about the exaggerated claims of Trump’s Doctor.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Democrats are the left, not leftists, and the “prints” of those two are only truly united in not liking Trump and other Nazis.

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Democrats at best are center-right. Obama himself admitted during his initial run in 2008 that had it been the 1980’s, he would have been running as a Republican.

The ACA is RomneyCare, not ObamaCare.

These are the same Democrats that tried to hand Republicans literally everything they wanted regarding the border on a silver platter in the last fucking year.

Calling them any kind of “left” is a joke. They’re liberals, which is center-right.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Sure. But America is a joke.

Ronny Jackson is a crazy person, I’d just like to state

echomap ,
Boddhisatva ,

Trump’s doctor, Ronnie Jackson, said it in an interview. He also said the bullet "produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear.

Obviously from the current state of Trump’s ear, he’s full of shit.

AmidFuror ,

That doesn't read like a chunk of his ear was missing. It reads like a shallow graze. No sutures were required.

Boddhisatva ,

Indeed. He should make up his mind since he’s made both claims.

AmidFuror ,

Thanks. I didn't see your first link.

odium , in Officers Texted Each Other About Trump Shooter but Didn’t Approach Him

When everyone thinks it’s someone else’s problem and that person will deal with it.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I mean, ACAB, but I do relate to not wanting to die for Donald Trump, and preferring texts to hostile in person meetings.

geekworking ,

This seems the most likely reason. It is sort of like they teach in first aid. You don’t say someone call 911 because everyone thinks someone else will. You need to tell one person directly.

The problem here is that it is not a group of untrained bystanders stumbling upon a surprise emergency. There is supposed to be a pre-established chain of command and group to take these reports and ensure that they are investigated.

Hell, I was part of events where governors made appearances, and the county had their communication command post setup and even gave radios and a briefing to our volunteers at gates and all of the area leads to report anything directly to the command post.

vzq , in McDonald’s earnings, revenue miss estimates as consumer pullback worsens

McDonald is not a food company, it’s a real estate company.

All the posters complaining about the food quality are missing the point. They could sell cardboard and for years their bottom line would be unaffected until franchisees started failing en masse.

BradleyUffner , in McDonald’s earnings, revenue miss estimates as consumer pullback worsens

I’m not paying $16 for a 10 piece nugget, fries, and a drink. I can pay $12 for more and better food at a sit down restaurant next door.

ByteOnBikes ,

In before shitty comments about downloading the McDonalds app so you can get discounts while selling your private info

Raiderkev ,

And agree to binding arbitration!

greenskye ,

McDonald’s has a pretty shitty loyalty program anyway. They have a very limited selection of stuff you can even spend the points on and you can’t both use points and a daily deal at the same time.

ji17br ,

I agree it’s shitty, but you can definitely use points and a deal in the same order. I do it all the time. You cannot do 2 deals or 2 point redemptions in the same order.

BreadstickNinja ,

There’s a pizza place near my house that does wood-fired NY pizza, two giant slices plus a soda, for $7.50.

I dunno how they’re making those prices work, but that’s the only junk food meal I’m buying these days. I’d pay more for less food of worse quality at any fast food place.

finestnothing ,

Because good food is cheap to make, especially when buying in bulk like restaurants. Pizza is super cheap to make from scratch, especially when you factor in restaurants buying in bulk. I make pizza from scratch pretty often, the dough is negligible cost wise (bread flour, water, salt, and yeast), the sauce is semi-expensive to make only because I use the fancy san-marzano tomatoes and make almost a gallon of amazing sauce for $18 (mainly the cost of the tomatoes) - for sauce good enough to get from a restaurant you could easily make a lot more for a lot less. The toppings vary in cost obviously, but those are easy to pass the cost on to the consumer.

Soda is also negligible cost wise, the syrup for a very large cup of soda is maybe a few cents for the restaurant, soda has one of the highest markups of any food items.

Kyrgizion , in Rupert Murdoch’s secret succession drama is a warning to rein in the super-rich

It brings me some semblance of joy to see that these people’s immense wealth and power seem to come at a direct cost of peace, happiness and contentment. They condemn each other to this fate and I’m all for it.

We knew this already?

The local sniper team was alreqdy reported to have sent this up the chain but got no response until that guy climed onto the roof and was about the shoot.

ByteOnBikes , in McDonald’s earnings, revenue miss estimates as consumer pullback worsens

Most of these comments are complaining about price? This isn’t a new thing. They’ve been raising prices pre-Covid while lowering quality even more.

Unless you’re dying of hunger, any other place would have been better at the same price.

MehBlah , in McDonald’s earnings, revenue miss estimates as consumer pullback worsens

They want to reverse that then lower their prices to account for actual inflation.

How do you vilify a villain? Like making water wet.
