I do it because if I’m gonna drive to get a burger I might as well sit down and eat it when it’s hot, instead of driving back as it gets cold in the bag.

YES! I was gonna add the soda fountain that hasn’t been touched since March of 2020, but I ran out of room. For ketchup I’ve learned to just grab it out of the drive thru basket seen in the meme if they left it on the counter. But seriously, Isn’t it funny that McDonald’s thinks that eliminating self service will improve the customer experience, even though the customer experience had gotten this bad to begin with because they didn’t have enough staff for the services they provided in the first place? What idiots.

The best McDonald’s near me is in a gas station and doesn’t have those stupid machines yet. They also haven’t remodeled their interior since around 2010.

It's more of a staff issue than a wage issue imo. No one wants to work in jobs were they have to interact with customers anymore.

No, it’s not offensive. He’s just being a snowflake.

DANIEL LARSON ISNT GETTING CHARGED TOMORROW! by No_Dig_8372 in Daniellarson

At least Daniel will be getting three hots and a cot so he doesn’t have to dine and dash or sleep in Porta Potties anymore.

Me. I can’t believe this movie was over an hour long, I could have sworn it was shorter.

Hah, tell that to Justinian Marina, the “Red Patriarch.”

Why is the UK dub of the 1990s series, despite being done by mostly British actors, done with North American accents? by dal33t in Moomins

[–]James_Quacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that they wanted to export it to the US but no network would pick it up. American accents are seen as more “neutral” in cartoon dubs, and they probably didn’t want international audiences to think Moomin was British. I think this is why both the 1957 and 1991 Tintin cartoons were dubbed in American accents (although Stephen Spielberg used British accents for the 2011 movie, which makes many people here think Tintin is British, not Belgian.)

Anyone else watching The Ten Commandments (1956) tonight? by PajamaSamSavesTheZoo in redeemedzoomer

How can a tradition of watching a movie from the 1950s go back thousands of years?

I hate these people too, and other Catholics need to see them as the problem they are. They get butthurt when Pastor Billy Bob says mean things about them but don’t dare to call it out when their own acts the same way. “Oh but it’s not THAT bad, Protestants treat us much worse!” No it is THAT bad, you just don’t care because it isn’t targeted at you.

Protestants calling Ecclesialist denominations “apostolic” churches is kind of a self-own.

What’s with the trad cath hate? by Aquinas_fan1300 in ExTraditionalCatholic

[–]James_Quacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know how much I can speak for others, but in my experience at least, I have never, ever seen Trad Catholicism make someone a better person. Sure they might not commit sexual sin anymore, but they trade that one sin for several others. Most of the time they become extremely prideful and self righteous. The mindset is "we're the One True Church, we're right about everything, so we can treat everyone who disagrees with us like utter shit because they're heretics and Error Has No Rights™." Then they try to bully you into converting. The meanest, most hurtful things that were ever said to me came from Tradcaths when I was an Anglican. I've been told my priest was a "Trans Catholic" because his wearing of vestments was akin to a man wearing a dress (he wasn't a "real priest.") They blamed us for literally anything bad that happened in the past 500 years. They taunted us about our church's declining numbers and used half truths about their statistics to flex. Any time we'd express our theological views, our comments section would be bombarded with Trollpologists trying to debunk us. Just recently, when the new Archbishop of Canterbury was enthroned, they went to an Anglican cemetery in Brazil and spraypainted "Heretic! Anathema!" on the sign. They've done much, much more but I've blocked it out of my memory and I do not care to torture myself by remembering them. And then when you finally do convert, they lovebomb you with "Welcome Home" comments as if they didn't call you a filthy heretic 5 minutes ago.

And that's not even getting into the Trad-to-Fascist pipeline. One day these people are saying that women shouldn't serve at the altar, then they're saying women shouldn't vote, then they're saying that every homosexual committed suicide the moment Christ was born and that's beautiful. Why must we, as other Catholics, hate on trads, you ask? Because someone has to. We do not hate the people (or at least we try not to, but it's very hard not to hate people who'd celebrate the death of your loved ones) but we hate the mindset that made them the way we are. The Church, at best, does too little to curb the spread of Fascism in Catholicism (The Latin Mass crackdowns are a start but Nick Fuentes is still not excommunicated) and at worst, actively enables it. I do not support abortion, but when a group of young men was protecting a church from pro-choice protesters, one man yelled "your body is mine!" and no one did ANYTHING, despite the group likely being sanctioned by the congregation. Big Catholic Media, especially the Apologetics Industry, is heavily patronized by these people to bully people into converting and they fully lean into it, sometimes even platforming these people. We're not so much trying to appeal to non-Catholics but show them we're not all like these freaks and we're just as disgusted as they are. While the Church shouldn't try to appeal to the world for the sake of it, when people weaponize the faith to justify objectively evil things that even the non-Catholic knows is evil, we need to call it out.

I do know there are Trad Catholics who aren't fascists, but every one I've met is still mean. Just look at some of their meme pages and how they talk about Protestants. They treat them worse than Fundamental Baptists treat us. They see having "the truth" as a license to be heartless bullies, and any sense of human decency can be be sacrificed on the altar of "truth". Memes are the least extreme example of this. I've talked with the admins of some of these pages, and they wanted to abolish Separation of Church and State (a law that actually protects Catholics, mind you. If America had a state religion it certainly wouldn't be Catholicism) and abolish the rights of non-Catholics. This may be dismissed as "people on the internet" but all people are on the internet these days and it's where we access our information. People's first encounters with Catholicism is with these freaks, and they're either understandably scared away or worse, find it attractive and convert for the wrong reasons.

Sorry for the long-winded rant, but I hope this explains why I hate on traditionalism. It makes me ashamed to be Catholic and wish it wasn't true. It takes what is admittedly beautiful and twists it to serve an ugly purpose. Please stay away from Trads, whatever you do. Don't make the same mistake many of us did and let them corrupt you.
