Stop going to your local multinational corporation for cardboard “food”.

It amazes me how punk died rolled over and shit out the corpo funded goth.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

punk didn't die. punk got old. punk got married, had kids. punk has a fucking double mortgage because punk had to send its kids to college.

punk had to play ball because the rest if the world abandoned punk because it "had a bad attitude" whatever that fucking means.

when the world is ready, punk will step up and be the first one with a fucking brick in hand screaming into the deep listless corporate abyss.

I’m sorry to burst your suburban family bubble but other ideologies that aren’t connected to fashion have and stayed alive with new recruits; Antifa, Marxism, Squatters, Vegans - have all been at it fighting on their angles where punk left off.

It was the cost of hair spray for those giant mowhawks that finally did punk in.

Okay, but then where am I going to meet a 10/10 Goth Baddie who flirts with me when I order?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

i have food allergies. when i'm traveling, sometimes the local multinational corporation is the only place i can get reliably safe food and we're not really willing to drive all over a new town trying to find a safe food truck in the middle of a road trip. consistency across the chain is a valuable selling point. but yeah, i agree with you in general.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

For me it's a guilty pleasure. I don't go often but I know exactly what I'm getting when I do. It's fairly consistent.

What's not consistent is the pricing. Holy shit they've gotten expensive. Nice local places can be cheaper nowadays... If you're local enough to know where to look.

[–] ILikeTraaaains@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

With internet you can ask locals directly for recommendations.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

And I'm sure I will when I can travel again. In the past I've googled and added "reddit" at the end but that's getting less and less workable.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

what train has your favorite meal car?

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

the 'nice local places' around me just raise their prices, too. two or more can eat at a chain fast-food place for the price of one basic lunch at a 'local' restaurant.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, unfortunate. Here they're raising too, but not as fast as the international chains.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, you could just, y'know make food at home.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Who says I don't? If I cook 80 meals at home a month that still leaves space for 10 meals not made at home.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I know. I just hear people complain about how expensive it is. I mean, if you can afford it go for it. But If your budget is stretched to the limit (or beyond) then perhaps consider making food at home. Yes I love fast food, but for what they charge I could get three meals made at home for the comparative cost. (And I find it tastes better too.)

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Fair enough. I usually take that option when I'm out and about. If I'm home most of the day, I'm not going to get fast food.

My budget isn't stretched to the limit, but I could also make a meal for 3-4 people for less than a large meal at McD with two sauces for the large fries. So I do indeed cook at home most of the time.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

oh yeah, our family ate at one of the local taquerias (our favorite went to shit so we're exploring them all again) and the whole family ate for less at the taqueria than it costs the teenager to eat at taco bell. idk what's up with fast food right now but i could wager a solid guess (trying to adjust prices to inflation before that inflation happens. projected inflation i guess)

[–] KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Well you are insufferable.

Not wrong, just insufferable.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hey, stop dissing on cardboard! It might actually be more nutritious.

[–] PoliteDudeInTheMood@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ehhhhhhh as someone who works in the corrugated industry. I've seen the massive tanks that hold a myriad of chemicals with odd names they use to make the paper, and then all the chemicals and additives that go into the starch (read: glue) that holds that corrugated board together. Cardboard is probably worse on your health than McDonald's.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

...but just barely.
