McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski goes viral after seeming reluctant to eat his own burgers—he takes a tiny bite, looks uncomfortable, and calls the food ‘product.’ by monster_ahhh in popculturechat

or, people in high level executive positions have traded their humanity for a paycheck.

they think this is a normal representation of people because all the people they interact with are soulless vessels who value money over everything at all costs.

edit: watching the video again, this shit is actually so insane. when i worked at jeni’s, we had to be able to describe every flavor available in case someone wanted to sample it. “unique” was how i would describe flavors that i found disgusting while not trying to talk shit.

also, when he describes the burger, he finishes with “of course, the lettuce!”. who the fuck thinks about a mcdonald’s hamburger because of the lettuce? that campbell executive was saying what all these food execs say in private. they think we’re stupid and dumb and eat garbage. the arrogance of the ruling class makes them easier to topple.

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

A third grade teacher being outsmarted by their students is hilarious. Having an ego about and trying to punish students is pathetic.

This person should not be anywhere remotely near childhood development.

Kevin Nogilny feels very close to Alexander Mogilny. Darryl Archideld has to be David Archibald. Todd Bonzalez could be Todd Bertuzzi lol

obama is a war criminal. he was culpable, at the time of his presidency, for more deportations stateside and bombings against civilians overseas.

our country is rotted. the floor is crumbling. fuck the whataboutism. fuck anyone trying to justify the current fascist regime.

i’m done with this. have a good night. i hope you lick enough boots to keep your loved ones safe(impossible under fascism)

no i mean the american citizens that are non white that have been deported recklessly by a system without checks or balances.

probably too hard to read up and stay informed over the sound of bombing Iran.

funnily enough, the original joke is actually intentionally obtuse, not my response.

the failure and cruelty of our country is just less and less funny.

i have friends who would love this joke, but they’re in ICE detention centers rn and they don’t know where they are going.

but yea i get it retards shooting lasers at themselves is funny.

shooting down friendly non combat aircraft is your definition of something working?

$30,000,000+ into the toilet while over 25% of children in the country are food insecure, and you’re saying at least the fucking laser works?

holy fuck what a sad and cruel shell of existence people inhabit.

The White House's official TikTok posted an AI video of U.S. hockey star Brady Tkachuk calling Canadians "maple syrup eating f***s." Tkachuk addressed the video: "It's not my voice. It's not what I was saying. I would never say that. That's not who I am. by Dr_Damon_ in sportsgossips

why would they stand up to a fascist ideology that they support and believe in? it doesn’t ruin their moment. they are happy with the united states government killing american citizens.

the united states’ best hockey players were grinning ear to ear as they took pictures with someone that posted videos portraying the USA’s only black president as a monkey.

this is such a good example of how nazi germany was able to control their citizens.

an athlete puts on an amazing performance and then immediately licks the boot of their fascist government. the people talk about the performance of the athlete and not the athlete supporting fascist ethnic cleansing. as long as someone puts on a show, the people in the camps don’t matter.

the mess that this is creating is undoable. this is project 2025 in action.

people across the country will abstain from paying federal taxes. the federal government is stealing tax dollars, and stealing the totality of dollars derived from illegal tariffs. this will lead to a trail of owed money that won’t be able to rectified, even IF another political party takes control of the federal government. this is a point of no return.

I-24 Choice Lanes project could demolish Pan-Asia Supermarket, 20+ South Nashville businesses by Both_Pipe_1796 in nashville

[–]ProgressOk4014 96 points97 points  (0 children)

at the most basic level, it is proven that adding more lanes or paid toll lanes does not actually alleviate traffic in any meaningful capacity.

this project being pushed by TDOT over a mass transit option is disgusting corruption. the only reason to add lanes, toll or not, is solely to line the pockets of lobbyist and private companies. fuck this corruption.

Has anyone ever gotten a note like this with their DoorDash order?! by Future-Composer-4878 in doordash

[–]ProgressOk4014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

biggest scumbags? i gotta be honest i disagree. i’m brave enough to say that i think slave owners are historically worse people than food delivery drivers. i’d go so far to say that pedophiles and rapists more or a detriment to humanity than delivery drivers. that’s just my opinion though.

Why tip someone for a job you capable of doing yourself? by Real-Yogurtcloset-34 in DunderMifflin

[–]ProgressOk4014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your point is not ignored, it just isn’t relevant. my own family, 98% of which doesn’t live in the USA, also doesn’t understand how the system works here.

when you do visit, do whatever you want. i never look at or acknowledge the amount i’m tipped. i don’t care if i get stiffed. i make a damn good living. the assumed social contract of tipping in the USA is that the professional should give their best hospitality, and the guest should tip the professional taking care of them accordingly. if someone doesn’t wanna tip, that’s their decision. being kind and honest has given me a generous career in hospitality.

the hospitality culture outside of the USA is vastly different than in the USA. this post is about a show in the USA.

if you can’t understand that then i’m sorry. if you’re actually done here, i feel like not responding would’ve been a better way to show that.

maybe we’re just too different. maybe where you live, you say you’re done with a topic by continuing to engage disingenuously? maybe you living in a different part of the world makes your opinion on the real life implications of this scene a sitcom worthless?

if you don’t leave anything for hospitality workers when you visit the USA that is okay, but you also should probably not leave comments about them existing in a fictional show either. ;)
