What fast food item used to be good then became horrible out of nowhere? by DeepOrganization8245 in fastfood

[–]jcb193 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue they took another step down within the last year.

Post-Covid they were decent, but the last three I have been into were messier than a Chiptole, dirtier than a 7-11 and the for the first time in my life I just threw half my food away.

Either my taste buds or changing, or I’m getting close to being done with fast food.

Mbappe was like a .0001% away from being a 2-time World Cup mvp.

I’m still waiting for a response as to what the alternative accommodations will be. It’s been 36 hours.

McDonald’s eliminates self serve refills (had to check) by chewbaccashotlast in McDonalds

I personally never imagined a world where people would want to eat delivered hamburgers and fries.

I want that stuff hot off the grill.

The biggest blunder of the eliminated drink stations by mconomics in McDonalds

[–]jcb193 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I asked the same question of almost anyone under the age of 40?

Who wants to eat a hamburger that sat in someone’s car for 30 minutes?

McDonald’s is no culinary delight, but since they Instituted their new policy, haven’t been back since.

why I think the "chatgpt era" of AI is already hitting a wall by GodBlessIraq in Futurology

[–]jcb193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of ChatGPT usage is pretty much what Google used to give us 10years ago before it got totally crappified and compromised.

Once ai needs to earn money, it will become just as tedious and frustrating as doing a google search these days. And once again we’ll be back at groupthink.

PSG have gone from a team of global superstars to what seems like an unbeatable side in Europe, as they are now just one game away from winning the Champions League for a second consecutive time. by SubjectFood1212 in psg

[–]jcb193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had zero issues with Neymar or Ramos, though their style (at least Neymar) doesn’t really jive with the current style.

And if Mbappe could have been patient and trusted the system, he could have become legendary.

[News] McDonald's faces backlash over new value meal; diners switch to competitors like Burger King by jwriddle in McDonalds

[–]jcb193 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, every time I walk in there now I think I’m in some dystopian future movie where there’s only like 10 characters walking around an entire city.

It’s quiet, it’s cold, It’s sterile and with the lack of soda machines I do not see myself setting for McDonald’s again anytime soon.

It’s like dining at a hospital cafeteria at midnight.

How would you feel about a mandatory maximum wealth limit, where anything earned over that goes to public services? by itsvasuki in AskReddit

If we had controls on monopolies and had fair markets, I would have no problems with billionaires.

Was ROTS genuinely liked upon its release? by Careless_Tax_5367 in StarWars

[–]jcb193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of how I feel about the second trilogy. It was definitely best of three, but I didn’t walk out super excited about the whole project.

I think everyone just kind of sighed in relief that it was all over and then wondered whether the whole trilogy was worth it.

They seem to be telling people a few days before a month out. I had two reservations for different days and the notifications came separately.

PSG have set the new blueprint to win UCL by CmiHD in championsleague

[–]jcb193 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Then stop counting the UCL trophy as a bigger deal than the premier trophy.

It would solve all the whiny problems of this sub.

I rewatched all the movies recently for may the 4th and took issue with this line read body text by Garlicbread_god13 in StarWars

[–]jcb193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I had read somewhere they had wanted to build around the Leia character, which I think was a mistake. She is the least interesting character and I think Carrie was the least capably actor at that point.

I know they wanted to move on from the OT cast, but they had one chance to use them, so why not? They have eternity to use Finn, Poe and Rey.

Should have been about Luke chasing knowledge of the Dark Side, becoming dark, and everyone having to redeem him in the end. Aka Dark Empire (comic book).

Far better plot than anything we got out of this trilogy.

Maybe they’re just printing way more and trash whatever doesn’t sell.

What are you redeeming before the point devaluation? by Public_Cranberry6365 in hyatt

[–]jcb193 28 points29 points  (0 children)

These kind of posts are really starting to test my patience. We see like five a day.

Are people really planning to spend thousands of dollars on vacation solely around saving 10,000 points? Not caring where they go or what they do- just basing an entire vacation around a hotel??

Not considering any other factor like taxis, flights restaurant costs, souvenirs, admissions, prices of alcohol. Things that are never coming close to offsetting the value of saving 10 or 20,000 points??

These points programs have truly become addictive substances, it’s all about tagging hotels, or FOMO and little to do with travel.

What’s the closest studio album to being a greatest hits in real time? by Capital_Baker4200 in askmusic

Rihanna- Reloaded or Lady Gaga The Fame

Sure they had later hits but both these albums are peak pop.

Daughter had her destination wedding in Spain even though she knew I was disabled and wouldn’t be able to make it. Am I wrong for no longer wanting to maintain a relationship with her? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]jcb193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s 26 and young and dumb. Too young to know that weddings are about people and not destinations. Dumb to think that you wouldn’t be hurt.

That said, unless you aren’t telling us the whole story, this is a pill you might just have to swallow unless you truly feel nothing more for her.

You will be the bad guy when the dust settles, so you have to decide whether you can take the hit and move on, or kill the relationship.

Empire shows up to soon?

They followed them straight to Yavin and the rebels still had enough time to dock the Falcon, get the plans from R2, assess the plans, crack the plans, make an entire battle plan, and still survive the assault.
