The only people this should ever be used on is the assholes who came up with it. Black Mirror wasn't meant to be a playbook people!

Really? I've never heard it used that way, not even by old people. Maybe it evolved out of that usage a long time ago

In America we say "it is what it is" or "good enough for government work" to communicate a similar vibe. Sounds sophisticated when you say it in Japanese tho

Excellent! I used to go there a lot until I got tired of overpaying

Ah yes sweet manmade horrors beyond my comprehension

I see what you're saying but the fact is any money we have is the money these types of companies are after, they're not expecting rich people to keep McDonald's afloat. They're relying on commuters in a hurry, busy moms with whiny toddlers, people too tired after a day of work to cook for themselves etc. Voting with those dollars, however limited they may be, is the most powerful form of influence the lower class has.

The average basement dweller probably just needs more water in their life, but anyone eating a balanced diet who is sweating and working out hard or competiting in an athletic event absolutely needs electrolytes not just water. Drinks like Gatorade with simple sugar in them are also still good in this context, the sugar is a readily burned source of energy that is important to have available for high intensity activity. Obviously if you drink sugar and sit on the couch it just goes to your waist, but that doesn't make it bad for people who are using it correctly.

It's missing bald faced hornets, which in addition to being ill tempered jerks like yellow jackets, can memorize faces of people who they perceive as a threat and will single them out of a group to attack.

They're scared. Continue to avoid McDonald's and they'll keep lowering prices. We have the power because we have the money they want and can choose where to spend it.

What a nonsense article. Try to draw any curved mile-long line through Baltimore that doesn't run through a predominantly black community, I'll wait. There are unfortunately plenty of real racial issues to deal with, this NIMBYism posing as racial equity is just a distraction.

This captures why I don't enjoy Harry Potter (in addition to JKR being a shitter)

I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform. It's not like a transportation or a food or power company monopoly, it's one specific form of entertainment. Try going outside?
