How about you guys rethink the food

If you can reconstitute some kind of edible food that maintains some semblance of the low price, I think that'll be enough. People started going to Five Guys and paying $16 because your burgers are clearly made of mouse shit.

DaddleDew ,

The “food” they have now is the product of decades of incremental changes made to cut cost and tinkering with fat, salt and sugar contents to fool your brain into giving you a dopamine hit for eating it. What they have now doesn’t even taste like hamburgers anymore.

Democratic Party would never give him the chance after the narrative about age competency; he’s a year older than Biden.

On top of that he’s a “radical socialist anarchist protesting rebel”.

Unfortunately the Dems are convinced they need a candidate close to centre to pull people from the right - I’m hoping the success of Harris proves this strategy is shit.

cabron_offsets ,

I’m talking 2016, and again in 2020.

Quarter stick of dynamite or 110 volts would do the trick.

Maybe the host shouldn’t trash my ride.

Any time I try to get fast food I see what they’re charging for it and remember steak is $10 a pound. Steak and frozen veg with a baked potato for about the same price.

NauticalNoodle , in Trump faces backlash for ‘in four years, you don’t have to vote again’ remark

“When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.”

This is only the 500th time but I guess some people are slow learners.

xmunk , in Kamala Harris accused of "war crimes" as protests planned for DNC

I’m happy to put pressure on her to be better than Biden… but yall know the VP is an absolutely bullshit job with no real power, right?

Zaktor ,

Also, as much as they called it the Biden-Harris administration, I didn’t get the impression that Biden actually liked her or believed in her at all. They did photoshoots and will perform the bosom buddies in campaign events now, but all her jobs were jumping on grenades for him and she never got to claim any of the administration’s wins. That super-Zionist and stubborn old man Biden was just one undelivered objection from Harris away from changing his opinion seems fanciful.

nobody ever went to mcdonald’s because it’s “good” but because it was cheap and fast

now it’s none of those 3 things. no reason to go there at all. that applies to most other fast food shit too.

Atrichum ,

When big mac is made right, and the ingredients haven’t been sitting around all day, it’s pretty dang good. Even their basic hamburgers.

DrSteveBrule ,

Trusting that the underpaid and overworked employee is going to deliver a “pretty good” burger from a fast food joint isn’t a gamble many people are willing to make anymore. And I don’t blame those employees at all.

solsangraal ,

made right

haven’t been sitting around all day

LOL

PlantJam , in Media Bias Fact Check - Automation

After seeing the comment on a few posts, the length is really bothering me. I don’t want to block the bot since it’s useful information. What about a single line of text with a link to “read more”?

Example with explanations:

404 Media is rated with High Creditability by Media Bias Fact Check. (change Media Bias Fact Check to a link that goes to a post explaining what they do, the reason for the bot, and a link to their donation page)

Check the bias and credibility of this article on ground.news. (change “this article” to be a link instead of displaying link in plain text)

How it might look:

404 Media is rated with High Creditability by Media Bias Fact Check.

Check the bias and credibility of this article on ground.news.

PlantJam ,

Another idea. What about not posting the comment when the rating is “high credibility”?

Edit maybe there should be more election deepfakes so that we’ll finally have legislation outlawing this behavior

democracy is the worst form of government – except for all the others that have been tried.

We, all of us, as American citizens, are just as culpable for the terrible things our government does in our name.

We can try to hand-wave it away and be like “I don’t support that” but our purchases and our taxes do, whether we like it or not.

I am by no means a fan of Kamala Harris, former shitty cop, but dear fucking god it’s not like I’m being given loads of other options here.

So, while it’s good to hold their feet to the fire, it’s also… a little silly and hypocritical. Especially, as others have pointed out, since VP is mostly a do-nothing job.

Gork , in McDonald's to 'rethink' prices after first sales fall since 2020

Last month, the head of its US operations formally responded to the complaints with an open letter to customers, saying social media was painting an inaccurate picture. He said the average price of a Big Mac in the US, which is now $5.29 (£4.11), was up 21% since 2019 - roughly in line with the pace of inflation - and many items had risen by less.

Sure, place the blame on anyone but themselves.

$5.29 is ridiculous for a Big Mac, which is super tiny.

megopie ,

Especially because that’s just the sandwich, not a side and a drink. A combo meal is like 10.15$

I’m sorry but the quality of the food does not justify 10 dollars.

For comparison, I remember in Berlin not even 5 years ago I got a currywurst with fries and a drink for 3.60 € (about 3.90$), and in London I got an absolute mound of fish and chips with peas for like 6.50 £ (about 8$). Both of these I got as much or way more food than a Big Mac combo and they were much better quality.

NaibofTabr ,

roughly in line with the pace of inflation

Roughly in line with the terrible inflation of the past 5 years which has been primarily driven by corporate price gouging.

calcopiritus , in Websites are Blocking the Wrong AI Scrapers

robots.txt doesn’t prevent scrapping.

It is just a suggestion. Bots that care will read it, bots that don’t, won’t.

andrewta , in McDonald's to 'rethink' prices after first sales fall since 2020

First sales call since 2020.

Three years? So what? That’s nothing. Now if they said first sales fall since 2002, now that would be something.

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

Have you tried paying attention to what customers want and will accept rather than dictating to them?
