Exactly. Although knowing modern writers (because this has been done in the past where joker was mostly comedic relief and not a genocidal maniac) they put this as virtue signaling. "He'd murder millions but would never ever say a slur" type shit.

He's pointing out that it's odd for left-wingers to try to find common ground with homicidal maniacs and you're offended

It's very interesting that they had joker say this. It's literally a guy that murders people indiscriminately arbitrarily deciding doing it out of "bigotry" is wrong, but having no qualms about murdering people for fun. I feel like this says something about progressives.

The trope of “I may be evil but I’m not *insert relevant political position* evil” is so forced, lame, and gay.

⬇️ and quality of food, ingredients in the food, caliber of workers handling the food, caliber of clientele that dine there, lack of cleanliness, lack of standards across the board, and your ice cream machine hardly ever works, but it's still more consistent than your employees.

McDonald's is spending 8.5 billion dollars to find out why families stopped coming. I can save them the 8.5 billion. They took out the playground. The plan, announced Wednesday at investor day. Better food, faster service, new equipment, AI tools, hospitality training, and a bigger push into chicken and beverages. They call it Next. The goal, they say, is making customers feel more comfortable. Wall Street loved it so much the stock fell 5 percent to its lowest since 2022. Over five years McDonald's shares are down 3 percent. Burger King's parent is up 14. The owner of Taco Bell and KFC is up 13. This is not a hamburger problem. This is a McDonald's problem. So let us talk about who used to eat there. Parents. That was the whole business. Parents at 5:40 on a Tuesday with three kids in the back and nothing thawed at home. You did not go for the burger. You went because your kids could run screaming through a plastic tube for 40 minutes while you sat with a coffee and experienced silence. That was the product. The food was the cover charge. The first PlayPlace opened in 1971 in Birmingham, Alabama, and for fifty years it did one job. It made small children demand to go to McDonald's. Then 2020 arrived, every play area in the country closed, and a great many never came back. The equipment came out during a remodeling program named Experience of the Future. The Experience of the Future turned out to be a touchscreen. Their own chief executive said he did not know if ball pits were in their future. Sir, you were not selling ball pits. You were selling forty minutes. So now there is no counter, no playground, and no reason for a seven year old to want to go. A screen, a window, and a bag. And for that we pay prices that require a moment of reflection in the parking lot. For thin, overcooked, oddly uniform pucks that taste like a memory of beef. I did not love them because they were good. I loved them because I was eight and there was a slide. And have you seen the new buildings. The old ones were unmistakable. Red roof, yellow arches, legible from a highway at 70 to a child who could not yet read. The new ones are a flat gray box with a small logo and a drive through wrapped around it. A regional claims office with a fryer. They removed the color, the characters, the counter, and the playground, and then hired consultants to find out why it no longer feels like anywhere. Which is why, when I have to eat fast food, I go to Chick-fil-A. Not for the politics. For the competence. They have led the customer satisfaction index for fast food eleven years running, and average 8.5 million dollars per location against McDonald's 4 million. More than double, while closed on Sundays. Fifty two days a year with the lights off, and still double. A seventeen year old hands you a bag and says my pleasure and means it about 70 percent, which is 70 percent more than a touchscreen has managed. McDonald's is spending 8.5 billion on hospitality training. Chick-fil-A earns 8.5 million per restaurant by just having some. So here is my consulting proposal, free of charge, on behalf of mothers everywhere. Put the playgrounds back. Not a nostalgia campaign. Not a retro cup. The structure. Tubes, slides, a door the kids cannot open from the inside, and a bench where a tired woman can sit. And understand what you are buying, because it is not lunch. A six year old does not know your food is bad. He has no basis for comparison and no functioning palate. He thinks the burger is incredible because he is standing in a castle made of tubes. That is the window. That is the only window you get. You catch them before the taste buds arrive, and thirty years later they drive past your sign, feel something they cannot explain, and pull in anyway. That is not a menu strategy. That is imprinting, and you shut it down in 2020 to save on cleaning. Eight and a half billion dollars for AI tools and hospitality training. Or a slide. 🦋

I just don't get why the left is still so fixated on trying to change sex. The right cares about sex because, for them, sex is fundamentally about pregnancy — because pregnancy is central to biological family formation. The right is capable of overcoming homophobia and transphobia, but they're never going to redefine sex so that it isn't about who can and cannot get pregnant. Meanwhile, the left's refusal to accept that has done enormous damage — from killing trans women through extreme human experimentation to making them feel broken, as though they're just waiting for science to fix them. Honestly, I feel like MAGA will adopt pronouns and champion chosen family before the left accepts that cultural anthropologists and Tumblr's otherkin got trans right, and that trying to change the meaning of sex was just weird, even if there were some good intentions behind it.

He's deadass turning on Croc once he learns that he employed Bon Clay in a major military position.

This game cost $70.

Silence him, just silence everyone that does this kind of shit to farm engagement.

You talk like a third worlder and you make this post like twice a year for engagement bait and then just act like it was you being silly. Why don't you just actually commit to something

Okay, maybe AI is not so bad after all... 💀

I agree, killers must stop killing women. But what are the chances a killer will stop killing because Ulrich says so? For safety’s sake, women must take every precaution while there are killers out there. This isn’t an issue of morality, it’s about survival.

(o) Claims: Charlie Kirk was killed by another conservative. (o) Tells me I have to present evidence since I made a claim he was clearly left wing. (o) Asks me to present evidence of TR's motivations. I do so. (o) Starts talking about genocide, calls me a nazi, runs.

My only gripe w gear 5 was when oda gave it to Bonney

We never demanded you mourn him. Just asked that you not celebrate it. You failed even that basic test of decency
