Dole Whip and Cup Noodles Breakfast, because as far as I was concerned, neither existed at all anywhere.

For me and the wife, most of our restaurant visits are premised on drinks and appetizers, dinner is a rarity. We go in the afternoon, we don’t overstay our table, we order more than one drink each and we order a minimum of an appetizer plate each, sometimes a third to share if the portions are small. We make it clear…

Restaurants, you do what you need to do to make your business work, and I’m going going to order in a way that makes sense for me. If we don’t see eye to eye, that’s OK, I’ll just go somewhere else.

One minute it’s better to eat at home and another it’s cheaper to dine out

A studio behind a game that makes crime fun is itself robbed by a tech wunderkind? This sounds almost like a plot for the next Watch Dogs game, GTA Online DLC, or a Person of Interest episode.  

Eh...maybe.

As someone who is not quite 45 yet and has shown up 30 minutes late to his job regularly for the past 20 years, I resemble that remark!

Come on. As an older woman who simply can’t buy lunch because it’s so damnably expensive (fast food lunch usually costs more than the ingredients and prep for both breakfast and dinner, combined), you really think I’m going to pay for fast food breakfast I can make BETTER? No.

Also maybe the demographic least likely to catch flak for showing up 15 minutes late with a breakfast sandwich...

Older men enjoy cramming food down their face.

Damn, that is a ton of lead to be found in their bodies considering the probably cinnamon made up less than 1% of the weight of the cinnamon. There was probably percentage levels of lead in the cinnamon.

Lead also tastes sweet, which is why kids eat leaded paint chips. That’s probably another reason they picked it in addition to color and weight.

I use my Xbox One X to this day for all entertainment needs plus the hdmi in for my cable. If the Series X had the hdmi in I would be using it instead.  But for now the One X is my entertainment central.

Everyone says this, but the moment I suggest dragging billionaires into the streets for public executions, suddenly *I* ruined Thanksgiving dinner.

Drop a million dollars in my lap and I might be able to retire a few years early. Drop a billion dollars in my lap, and I can live like a king for 500 years. There is absolutely no use for a billion dollars except for taking food out of the mouths of millions of people. It’s not enough for them to be rich - others…

I have never seen a man who looked more like he was named Danny Palumbo that that happy man with the mozza stick. 

because sometimes you just aren’t in the mood for canned tuna?

And also providing a very sub-par version of the actual restaurant’s food...

People are far fucking lazier than I can understand. 

A lot of the companies you’re referencing are public and public companies only act in ways that benefits their stock price as that is how executives are measured. So I don’t think they did think these trends would last forever, I think they acted super reactionary because it was the best way to prop up their stock…
