Your examples are treats and food with at least some nutritional value.

Starbucks fuck if I know what they offer besides overpriced coffee (which I’d classify as a treat) - never been never will.

Places like McDonalds don’t offer anything of actual nutritional value. It’s all fats and salts and sugars. Even their “healthy” options are the equivalent of Vitamin Water.

If you go to a real taco place (not taco bell) it may not be “healthy” healthy, but it’s not garbage either - it’s more of a “neutral” healthyness. You won’t literally die if that’s all you eat.

One more step towards the great firewall.

Yeah I feel like not hearing people use “groovy” is more because things aren’t feeling very groovy lately.

Dude, that’s totes bogus. Get outta here with that whackness. /s

Taco bell is one the the few fast food joints that still has decent cheap options.

They have a $7 luxe box ( if you use the app you can customize it.) That actually gives a worthwhile amount of food.

And as far as I can tell it’s an all the time deal, not some shitty limited time promotion like mcshit offers trying to get people to come bsck to their overpriced garbage. ($6+ just for fucking “large” french fries)

Government uses bike path toll to great affect.

The amount of times the shit breaks down combined with the slower speeds means it doesn’t really matter if they work 24/7 right now.

Yes, robots are coming, but amazon has been acting like they will be here tomorrow since it’s inception.

The reality is robots that cost less than people that at least do comparable work in the same time frame is still a decade or 2 away optimistically.

Amazon trying to force it doesn’t change that.

Amazon is to robots what meta is to vr. Dumping tons of money trying to force the ‘future’ today.

It’s such a joke. Amazon is so desperate for automation, but is too stupidly arrogant to realize the tech really isn’t there yet.

I work at a amazon facility with robots and management does everything in their power to keep me away from them because I can outwork the bots without breaking a sweat.

internal news would be ‘so and so won the lottery’ or ‘city eminate domains affordable housing for shopping center’

No, I wouldn’t call that diplomacy. Not unless they are planning on arresting or assassinating him When he gets there.

Nah let’s not blame those truly responsible, lets just keep pointing fingers at each other exactly as the rich want it.

I think it was maybe last week or the week before there was a thread about plex enshitification and I recall a lot of downvotes to folks praising/recommending jellyfin over plex.

Too greedy. They want all the money so bad they will believe any conman.

This dude is awesome.

God damn, that’s an even sadder ending than I thought it would be.
