This is only half bullshit. Quality is through the bottom level of hell on every metric at McDonalds. The ONLY reason I go is because they have a kids playplace. The app is essentially required, but sucks ass for usability. They took the soda machines out of most of them so free refills are basically gone, the prices are rediculous and the food sucks. Also, people are tightening belts because Trump (WHO MCDONALDS SUPPORTED) is an idiot.
All of that gripe and you still go there instead of a public park?
At least here in Los Angeles, many of the parks are unsafe for children. I found a knife in the playground last year.
Defund public spaces, then increase the cost of private spaces. Neoliberalism, everybody.
Go help clean them up, then.
Done that plenty, it makes a huge difference and as people notice they come and help out too.
Ya know how many toilets I've helped dragged out of local streams and creeks? Way too fucking many.
I did, I still have the knife.
It's probably an abandoned murder weapon.
Sick. Free knife, yo.
I don't mind cleaning up garbage. But I'm not usually prepared to safely handle sharps.
Nobody is. Kinda heartbreaking.
What we usually do is find an empty milk jug or soda bottle to collect them in, and we have a method where rake and spread out garbage out before we pick it up in order to spot any sharps and avoid injuries.
If your kids are playground aged, you probably don't have a ton of free time/babysitter money to be doing that. You could bring the kids, but I'd rather not have my small children handling used needles and condoms (just a few of the delights I've found on my local playground)...
I can think of a million completely valid reasons that may prevent someone from helping improve their community.
But still something that we need to find the time to help improve our community and that time needs to come from our jobs, not our family, so steal as much time from your employer as you can.
Toilets? Like ceramic? The home appliance that you shit into everyday? People throw those into streams and rivers??
....(Shatner.gif)But why?
That's just how people are sometimes.
I've also helped fished out:
Define "enormous"
It was like three inches in diameter, the length of a forearm, & covered in algae.
At first I thought it was a wolf eel or something, but then I saw the balls.
Nice. 😏
Though, pretty standard large size nowadays. When you have to start categorizing and classifying adjectives, then you've gotten to the real stuff. Let me know when you come across a flared xl chance :}
After I sent that I was worried that would be the answer. I am so sorry your kids can't just go to a park.
Stop going there.
Do not teach your kids to compromise on their values.
Plus those indoor play places are so hard to clean properly and unhygienic, you may inadvertently expose your kids to the measles virus or something.
Take them to the YMCA or something.
What do you mean the quality is bad?
I have no idea what I’m looking at here.
That's the new 1/32nd pound patty.
the cool thing is you can spray it onto a bun, right out of a can.
That's supposed to be a patty?! Goddamn, I thought they put a slice of beef jerky in it or something.
It's like thinly sliced deli meat, but it's "precooked" "beef". Welcome to capitalism.
Heh. McDonald's here in Canada (at least the ones near me) is generally pretty good as far as fast food goes, my only gripe was the shitty app. Of course, we've already stopped eating there anyways; dumbest trade war in history
