Her loss tbh. What's wrong with some girls nowadays (but actually looking at this pic).

Get me a girl or a guy who's all up in that cheapass stealing-from-corpo etc. hustle lenin-heart Doesn't matter if she can afford it, whether she should is the real question

i would be so down for someone with these instincts and the initiative and skills to pull them off, but i would have to insist we limit fast food intake.

this is called plunder and besides being cool + good, it's a survival strategy.

Some former MetalEurop employees become bank robbers rather prison guards. Some EDF employees show friends and family how to rig the electricity meters. Commodities that “fell off the back of a truck” are sold left and right. A world that so openly proclaims its cynicism can’t expect much loyalty from proletarians.

On the one hand, a commune can’t bank on the “welfare state” being around forever, and on the other, it can’t count on living for long off shoplifting, nighttime dumpster diving at supermarkets or in the warehouses of the industrial zones, misdirecting government subsidies, ripping off insurance companies and other frauds, in a word: plunder. So it has to consider how to continually increase the level and scope of its self-organization. Nothing would be more logical than using the lathes, milling machines, and photocopiers sold at a discount after a factory closure to support a conspiracy against commodity society.

The feeling of imminent collapse is everywhere so strong these days that it would be hard to enumerate all of the current experiments in matters of construction, energy, materials, illegality or agriculture. There’s a whole set of skills and techniques just waiting to be plundered and ripped from their humanistic, street-culture, or eco-friendly trappings. Yet this group of experiments is but one part of all of the intuitions, the know-how, and the ingenuity found in slums that will have to be deployed if we intend to repopulate the metropolitan desert and ensure the viability of an insurrection beyond its first stages.

How will we communicate and move about during a total interruption of the flows? How will we restore food production in rural areas to the point where they can once again support the population density that they had sixty years ago? How will we transform concrete spaces into urban vegetable gardens, as Cuba has done in order to withstand both the American embargo and the liquidation of the USSR?

Back in college my friend and I found pictures of a bunch of "free large anything no purchase necessary" coupons to like 3 different fast food joints. He was an art and graphic design major so he photoshopped the expiration dates so they were still valid and we would print stacks of them in the university library for free.

We used them so many times the managers had to come out and be like, look we don't know where you're getting these coupons from but we called corporate and we're not going to take them anymore. So what we did was drive out to the next restaurant further away and do it all over again.

We must have gotten several hundred dollars of free food each over the course of a few months.

We had something similar with domino's pizza, but later corporate just changed the prices of the pizzas we were ordering to the employee discount we were using anyway, so no more couponing

I remember once seeing a bit of standup comedy where a comedian was talking about going over to a guys place on a date and he shows off his elaborate pirate movie set-up. She's like "I'm not unimpressed, but I'd be more impressed by a guy who can just afford to pay for Netflix". Anyway I think about that a lot in my dating life.

implying anything worth watching is on netflix

Death to America

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

who can just afford to pay for Netflix

ok the $10,000 raid server might be impressive, but who wants to wait 10 minutes for the first episode to download?

That's what Sonarr and Radarr is for. Schedule all the things.

I have no moral objections to doing this, but you really want to subject yourself to eating ~~main~~ McNuggets? feast-1feast-2

[–] [email protected] 89 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Wow that’s horrible, anyone got step by step instructions so I can make sure I avoid doing this?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like he used Bluestacks emulator to create three different instances of the McDonald's app which gave him three different coupons for $1 nuggets and made three separate orders using those coupons. So it cost him $3 in all for 30 nuggets and 6 dips. He ordered them for pick-up. Very inventive imo. Good method for large families and friend groups.

I can make out OP's blurred response they say "RIP u ig"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

flattened-bernie I don't know what this sentence means

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

RIP from Rest in Peace is somewhat commonly used in online gaming vernacular like if you just messed up or something unlucky happened. Friend is basically saying "Sucks to be you"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

I knew that part, it was the tail end I needed help with.. Thank you though!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I read it as "your loss I guess". I'm not sure and not even sure if this was an honest question

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 hours ago

"u ig" I get it now, it's all coming together

[–] [email protected] 61 points 5 hours ago

Get yourself a partner who appreciates scamming McDonald's out of the delicious nuggets.
