Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

If I eat fast food I always check their apps first for any deals. Arby’s had some decent deals a month ago (free sandwich with $3 purchase) but nothing since then and no chance I’m spending $12 for an Arby’s meal.

McDonald’s App is a little more consistent although they’ve got rid of a lot of the good deals.

Without the apps I wouldn’t eat at these places. It’s cheap food at nearly sit down prices.

J12 ,

Yep, they get no permissions except location right when I’m beside the location and they get removed immediately afterwards. And the email gets sent through the Apple hide my email. I’m sure they got more info but they gotta work for the rest.

Once my narwhal stops working (haven’t updated and I’m not giving a penny to Reddit) I’ll likely never go back.

Narwhal is trash compared to Apollo by the way, I only use it for one subreddit. I wish that sub would migrate over here so I can browse using the Voyager app.

I’m sure little weasel Billy Coull is hiding out until things cool off then he’ll be back out fucking over people again. Hopefully the workers run scumbag Billy out of town if they’re not paid.

J12 ,

If they’re going to argue they have protected rights like a US citizen then when they break the law they can go to jail like a human. Financial crimes, 6 month time out for Amazon. Worker dies because Amazon refuses a break, 25 year timeout.

The nerve of these fuckers.

Just checked to see if a local pizzeria still has their fake reviews & yep, Marco Polo pizza in Myrtle beach still has fake reviews coming in. Even a few people calling them out. That’s one of the scummiest businesses in the area.

Don’t donate too much, Nintendo’s gonna take that shit.

Dude needs to move to a country without Nintendo jurisdiction and restart the GoFundMe. I’d give the dude $100. Fuck Nintendo over that.

I deleted my Prime! So many good points on this post. My last 2 purchase from Amazon took 2 weeks to get here, which is fine but prime is advertised as 2 days. Amazon prime’s TV selection is for the most part trash & finally Amazon can burn in hell. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to cancel it.

Are there any good alternatives to concrete/asphalt

Why is it so expensive and is there an alternative out there that won’t break so easily especially in the winter? My state is spending like a billion dollars a year on roads that they’ll probably have to fix in 5 years, it really seems like a huge waste of money....

J12 OP ,

They do that here on side streets but our highways are non stop pot holes at the moment. I’d love some steel plates on the highways.

J12 OP ,

Thanks, I had no idea asphalt was a byproduct of petroleum. Is concrete just rocks?

J12 OP ,

I hear people complain about prices of concrete but like you said it could be the wages. I just looked up concrete and it’s $5 for 80lbs. That doesn’t seem terribly expensive for 80lbs. How many bags do you think it would take to do an average driveway?

The NFL probably is rigged but not for the reasons these fuckheads think.

J12 ,

Hey AI, I’m ready to download a car.

J12 ,

I think I’m going to buy one of those sketchy streaming boxes with thousands of channels.

That or learn how to download and host my own content.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Edit: just realized what sub I’m in. Guess I better start reading up.

Get on board GenX. We’re the future and the soon to be majority, so you might as well join the club. We promise we’ll treat you better than the boomers treated you.

Do any Spanish speaking countries play (American) football and if so what's the best way to watch it?

I’m learning Spanish, and I’m getting decent at reading it but I’m trying to immerse myself in it more since I still can’t understand it very well. so I was wondering if I could find something I really enjoy like football and watch it in Spanish. I know the NFL probably has a Spanish football channel but I like college...

J12 OP ,

Awesome, thank you! I just subscribed to their YouTube channel. They have some full games on there which is perfect. Are you a fan of any of those teams?

J12 OP ,

I just looked into it and I’m not seeing it on YouTube TV. If I could have my college team in Spanish would definitely be ideal so I’ll try to look into it a little more

J12 OP ,

I like the logo for that one. The blue chicken is pretty sharp looking too. If I pick off logos I’m going with Raptors de Naucalpan.

Or if I become a bandwagon I could follow the Caudillos.

J12 OP ,

Yeah, I know we’re a Spanish speaking country. My team doesn’t have a Spanish broadcast. There’s a few I found for college football, but we’re in off season and I was thinking they might be currently playing in other countries.

Biden says he is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 Americans (www.cbsnews.com)

President Biden announced Friday that his administration is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 borrowers, marking the latest round of debt cancellation since the Supreme Court voided the president’s student loan forgiveness program....

J12 ,

Good call, but we need to fix the underlying problem that is the ridiculous price for higher education. With every piece of information online I find it very hard to believe we can’t get average annual tuition down from 20k a year.

J12 ,

Meijer is the only one that has their self checkout figured out. 2 different sections in my store with 10-12 checkout stations. So a minimum of 20 self check out stations open and they’re always open and working. They never give me the errors like Walmart and Kroger.

Walmart might have 20 checkouts as well but half aren’t working or open plus there’s 3x the people at Walmart so there’s usually a 15 minute wait.

Kroger is the worst with the errors. They might have 20 checkout stations but 5 might be open.

Going to Walmart or Kroger is always a hassle. I avoid those 2 unless I need one or two items.

Aldis and Meijer are my go to.

J12 ,

Our Meijer is quite a bit further away too. If we’re out in the area already we’ll stop by and do a bigger trip. I could put up with the nonsense at Kroger if their damn prices weren’t so ridiculous. Kroger is by far the closest but they’re by far the most expensive for me anyway

J12 ,

lol maybe. Meijer is such a breeze at the self checkout compared to Kroger. The memes are mostly true. Unexpected item in the bagging area half a dozen times, then the cashier has to come over and put their passcode in and override whatever happened.

J12 ,

I know they’re not trying to be but that HR speak is so fucking condescending. “I’m sorry for how you’re feeling.”

They’ve gone to complete shit since they’ve become a publicly traded company. Trash updates, removing the forum and comments/discussions on questions.

Money is priority over education when it’s tradable on the stock market.

Fuck them, I hope someone creates an AI based language learning app and Duolingo goes out of business. lol at their $215 stock price. It’ll be 1/20 of that in 3 years.

Can you play all your normal steam games on a steam deck?

J12 ,

I have a few games on steam that my poor computer won’t run. I’ll have to look on the pages to see if they’ll work. Thank you

J12 ,

Student behavior is a major factor in this one.

J12 ,

Corporations shouldn’t be allowed to sit on property. There’s an old fast food restaurant near my neighborhood, boarded up, trash everyone, it’s a eyesore to the community. The owner wants an unreasonable amount for it. It’s been sitting empty for 10 years.

The government needs to step in, tell the landlord to rent the place out, sell it or we’re going to take it and turn it into affordable housing or a park.

J12 ,

Agreed. And start regulating and capping the prices of the needs like housing and healthcare

J12 ,

It’s absolutely insane what they charge. Another example is an MRI

I had an MRI done a few months back. I took probably max 30 minutes of the machine’s time. My bill was $5000. Fortunately insurance covered all but $200, but collectively it raises all of our insurance rates when a hospital charges $5000 for an hour test.

I did some math. A new MRI is 1 million to 3 million dollars. We’ll go on the upper end of 3 million.

Let’s say they do 8 MRIs a day.

They make $40,000 a day per MRI A 5 day work week they bring in $200,000/week $800,00/ month

That MRI is paid off in 4 months.

I get there’s other expenses. Rent is a few thousand a month. The techs probably made $20 a piece while I was there. There’s definitely macitence on the machines. But come on? $5,000 for an MRI?

Let’s go a little deeper and see why the actual machines are so expensive. Are they actually that expensive or is GE, Siemens, Phillips making a huge markup?

I don’t hate capitalism like a lot on here, but I believe our needs health, education, housing, electricity needs to be highly regulated and it should not be for profit.

Also sorta unrelated but not really, but I love bringing up that Corporations should not own single family housing.

J12 OP ,

Thank you very much. Whole Cloth quilt is looking like what I’m looking for

J12 OP ,

Thank you. Found a similar on Target I’m looking at.

J12 OP ,

Thank you!!

J12 OP ,

Lmaoo why do I have a hotel blanket

J12 OP ,

www.target.com/p/…/A-81786124?ref=tgt_adv_xsp&amp…

It kinda looks like the same material. I’m at work and I’ll keep looking when I get off tonight and let you know what I end up going with

J12 OP ,

Thank you I’m learning so much today!

J12 OP ,

I’m down to this and the target one. Thank you!!

J12 OP ,

Got that one! Thank you!

how do i pick out a good avocado

Edit: 10/23 I took a lot of advice from here, I bought an avocado yesterday and I tried it today. It was perfect! The taste was incredible. I didn’t need to salt/season it to hide anything. I am in a different state right now but when I get home I’ll buy one at home using my knowledge I now have and hopefully it’ll be...

J12 OP ,

I bought an avacado with the stem off to the side with the fruit going slightly above the stem. I think it’ll be ready tomorrow to eat.

Disclaimer I am also in a different state at the moment so they might not be the same avacados I get at home. I’ll update how this one turns out.

J12 OP ,

I got some pictures of an avacado I bought but it’s not letting me upload it right now. I’ll try again tomorrow and I’ll try the avacado I bought tomorrow as well. Disclaimer I’m in a different state so it might be a different avacado then the one I get at home. It doesn’t say on the sticker but it looks the same

J12 OP ,

Idk how I missed this comment originally but it’s very interesting. I hated every vegetable as a kid, I still don’t like most of them but I’ll push myself to eat them. I do enjoy cucumbers, and a select others fresh vegetables. (Once they get cooked… 🤮🤮🤮)

When avacados are “good” I friggin love them. It’s literally heaven for me. Idk what the deal is but I took advice from everyone in this thread and I bought a avacado and I’ll post a little update when I try it tomorrow.

J12 OP ,

The avocado I picked out based on the stem turned out perfectly. I loved the taste and I didn’t need to season it at all to hide anything. Thank you.
