The Complaint Thread

At Burger King today, and while waiting for my order studied the nutritional information on the signage.

Medium French Fries - 370 calories
Medium Onion Rings - 360 calories
Medium Have-sies (half Fries, half Rings) - 380 calories
Number of calories added to each sandwich if made into a medium sized meal with a side of one of the above - 340 calories.

Apparently there is some sort of biological or chemical interaction that increases calories when Fries and Onion Rings come together, but that will be negated and even reduced if placed in a bag or on a tray with a sandwich.

Thoughts?

It could be that you are getting a bit less when it's comboed.

But now I want frings.
 
People that watch your plate and complain about what you're eating.

People that comment that they can't/won't eat that burger, and are having healthy salad or soup or non fried thing.

Bitch, I didn't ask. Mind your own menu
 
Have a friend... Had a friend that has struggled for years with depression (he's fine-ish, it's not that kind of situation). I spent our whole friendship reassuring him he's a good person, I value our friendship, he's worthy of happiness, he's awesome for continuing to fight his depression, all the good things people need to hear when they are in his way. We've hung out once or twice a month for years, maybe see a movie or just lunch, or a road trip an hour away for toy hunting.
The last time we hung out we watched Weapons. I realized I really hate the trope of threatening-children-into-silence. In addition to that being a major piece of the movie, I just thought it wasn't very good. He was excited about the comet 3I/ATLAS because, "what if it's an alien spaceship". I told him it's great that he can still get excited about the possibility, but after a lifetime of nothing-burger buffets I just don't think we'll find out anything particularly earth-shattering (heh). He's always treated science as this sacred cow that is infallible and unquestionable, so when I introduced him to the replication crisis he flipped out and doubled-down on how I just didn't understand the scientific method.
He told me he can't hang out with me anymore because I'm too negative. Part of me is like, "good on you for standing up for yourself", but really? He's had a lot of friends over the years that stop talking to him because they can't handle his negativity, at least that's how he tells it. People that have met him know him as the-guy-that-is-always-complaining-about-stuff. I'm not mad, that would be petty. I'm a little sad that I was seen as a problem. It's a weird fucking position to be in.
 
I wish I didn't understand the world as as much as I do. I'd rather be blissfully ignorant.

There's a new writing tool kicking around. "FREEWRITE!" It proclaims itself to be something to help you write without distraction "so you don't have those 17 tabs open with their AI-free tool." It's... it's a fucking electronic typewriter. It's just a word processor. It's A THOUSAND DOLLARS. Reinventing the wheel and using artist backlash against AI as marketing copy. So I go well this has to be some private equity scam, right? So I look up the founder.

MIT grad but is he a scientist? Nope. He got his start on Wall Street as an investment banker, private equity pro, lender, and structured commodities finance provider. He took that MIT degree and went to work for the Ghoul Parade. All these guys ever do is take an idea about something that ALREADY EXISTS, repackage it in a way that investors, who are notoriously illiterate and unable to parse out the past, feel blood flowing rapidly to their money penis, and throw money at the founder, who then takes that cash, buys a mansion, and then goes off to rinse and repeat.

Anyway, if you want to ruin every single thing that crosses your feed, whenever you see new technology, look up the founder. It's always private equity or venture capital. It's all fucking vaporware. We live in hell.
 
One of my workers, who is a fucking idiot, fell down in a shared parking lot on his way in to work last week and broke his foot. Despite that he wasn't actually at work yet, and this parking lot isn't only for our business and is not owned or controlled by my company, apparently it is my company's fault and this dumb shit gets to put a WCB claim against us. I can't even argue that he wasn't wearing proper PPE, becuase he wasn't even AT WORK OR ON THE CLOCK, so I have no ability to enforce our safety policies on someone that isn't clocked in, but I am somehow responsible for what happens to them before they're clocked in.
We still have two legit injuries on our record - one from a year ago and one from a couple of years ago. But we're not a big company. Three WCB claims on our record could actually destroy us. I am so fucking angry right now. I want to beat this guy to death with my bare hands.

So now I have to spend what was supposed to be my Christmas vacation while the company is closed and all the workers are at home, filing an appeal and fighting with WCB about this. And I also fucking hate it because I'm basically fighting to make sure this guy DOESN'T get paid and that makes me feel fucking gross inside. But the alternative is potentially a massive hit to the company that will hurt all the other workers that rely on me to pay their bills. This fucking sucks and I cannot even put my rage into words.
 
I hate that the world we live in actually requires you to be the "bad" guy just to survive.

I saw someone say the other day "I believe in universal basic income not out of generosity but because I want to be able to fire a fucking idiot and not ruin his life or put him out in the street because he's too dumb to do the job."
