It's not a Happy Meal, it's an adult box meal.

[–] Death_Equity 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ok, that makes more sense.

I saw the tiny drink and small portion size, as an American, and could not wrap my mind around that being anything other than a kid's meal, because that is a kid's meal here. Obviously my understanding of a "reasonable" meal is twice the size as what an actual reasonable size is.

a self-aware American? where are you emigrating to in the new year?

[–] Death_Equity 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hopefully Texas, outside of Austin and San Antonio. I'd move to Oregon but their gun laws were ruined by clueless Californians fleeing what they did to California without learning their lesson. (I am a Californian who fled California.)

Hopefully Texas, outside of Austin and San Antonio

By this, do you mean "just outside of", or do you mean "excluding"? Because Austin is just about the only halfway sensible part of Texas, from everything I've seen.

As for Oregon, I just had a read of the lede of this article. Sounds like they were trying to do good things, but unfortunately America's radical regressive courts struck down a lot of the improvements they were trying to make?

Within a reasonable driving distance of Austin and San Antonio. I wouldn't want to live in either's jurisdiction due to crime, but within a reasonable distance to enjoy the entertainment venues they offer should I decide to accept the risks of theft or vandalism.

I want gay trans adoptive parents to protect their home, family, property, and personal use marijuana plants with suppressed machine guns. Any infringement or delay in their ability to do so is Un-American.

Sorry, you want guns to be allowed? And not just allowed, but expanded to machine guns with suppressors on them? Wtf is wrong with you‽ You a fan of thousands of children being murdered because of America's lack of sensible policy?

I read it as personal use marijuana plants that have suppressed machine guns. Maybe they shoot buds.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Oh, or maybe the marijuana plants are suppressing the machine guns.

Howard took our guns away in 1996. This was the result https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imc2fGCUDqk
