Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

anakin-padme-2 So if they win they're going to reduce prices, right?

ANOTHER $3 FOR A SHITTY CHEESEBURGER

Pics that go HARD

Let me break out the world's tiniest violin after paying $12 for the world's most disappointing cheeseburger (and having to ask for ketchup and napkins).

I reduced my fast food consumption by like 95% right around the beginning of the pandemic and I regret nothing. Not wasting 20 minutes of my life in a drive through line for a meal that isn't good, cheap, or healthy. It takes 3 minutes to boil ramen at home and that checks two of those boxes.

"Top meatpacker" was my nickname in college.

$15.79 at O'hare airport concourse B last week.
Cheeseburger french fries medium coke

I bought a cheap United Airlines ticket 6 months ago for bay area maker fair and they sold my ticket out from under me 3 times. Started as a direct flight by the time I left it was 3 leg flight with 2 long layovers both ways. By the time I made it back to O'hare I was really tired and hungry just wanted something to snack on while I waited 5 hours for the last connecting flight. I got a medium coffee instead for $3.79 and it was watered down.

Economists have assured me that there is a direct correlation between minimum wage increasing causing the price of a big Mac to increase. So surely the increase of a big Mac will cause the minimum wage to increase! 😊

Not so fun when the burger's on the other foot, is it?

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Half as fun as foot lettuce
