Dark meat at least tastes better and is more desirable where I'm at. Now you just get less meat in general for however much you're spending.
Give it five years and the taco bell quesadilla is probably gonna cost $10 and use the small tortilla instead of the big one. They may have won the franchise wars in fiction but reality is stranger.
That's not entirely the proper response.
I hate that I've already posted the video twice so I'm not going to do it again because I don't want to get marked for spam lol, but check my comment history if you got a minute to see a few lawyers describe what to do.
In essence though, if it's a door knock don't even answer it. There's nothing good on the other side of that door, and in that scenario there are only two options for them: either they can get a warrant, in which case they're coming in anyway with or without your consent so it doesn't even matter, or if they don't have one (far more likely) then they can go pound sand for all I care. If I'm not legally obligated to answer that door then I'm not going to.
If it's a traffic stop, it's a simple amount of phrasing but amounts that are very important to say to exercise your rights. If being asked questions unrelated to the quoted traffic violation, a simple "I'm not discussing my day". If they continue asking questions, ask "Am I being detained or am I free to go". This forces them to either only engage in the stop as needed or, if they do detain, at this point the mystery is now gone and they have to handle things by the book: meaning you are informed that you are being detained, it is for xyz reason of belief, then at this point you can state that you "invoke the fifth" (must be said, but you have the right to not answer questions and not self-incriminate), and then you STFU. If said detainment was ever escalated from there to the point of being thrown in the back of the squad car, it's at this point that you could then request an attorney at the station and IIRC they must provide one. It will likely be an overworked public defendant attorney, but to answer the question there you go.
TLDR Don't be the soverign citizen immediately starting with "I want a lawyer am I detained am I free to go" as soon as they walk up to the window, but know your rights and when to execute them in order. These rights apply to all people in America by the way, not just citizens, so keep that in mind and don't let feds try to scare you into thinking you don't have these kinds of rights. You do.
(I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice from a lawyer, just a local dumbass on the internet, but this is to my knowledge factual information.)
Oh look, it's stfu friday!
(posted it already in another comment but felt important enough to post here too :))
I'd also like to take this moment to remind how to handle a police interaction in the USA, in a one minute video described by a few lawyers: STFU Friday!
The only proper response to a door knock is "come back with a warrant".
Rights are rights for a reason, don't let that shit erode any further.
Honestly if it's a big setup like Spotify or Netflix or etc, "royalties" don't mean shit to the production team / artists / whoever. Unless they're Mariah Carey levels of replayed every year everywhere to the tune of sitting on millions in checks yearly, they aren't going to get shit. Personally I'd rather support them in other ways such as buying merchandise, going to live shows etc but that's just me.
Remember though this is in minecraft, don't pirate irl because that is very bad and you will personally prevent executives at warn-a-brother from buying another learjet. Remember: "pirating is bad and you should feel bad" 😂
"Please stand and yell "Mcdonalds" to end commercial"
We did do that once as bored teenagers on an off day back in maybe 2006. Though the pizza shop let us know it was going to take about two hours, which we were totally cool with, and tipped the driver like 20 bucks (on top of a $15 order) because we knew it was probably hell getting there.
Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do, I get that. But if you're gonna be doing that, please tip your drivers very generously and give them plenty of time and don't be an asshole to them :)
Gonna likely be Houston about this time tomorrow. Good luck and godspeed to whoever braves the roads.
Delivery really is just much more convenient. I've been getting my groceries delivered like this from a certain big box retailer and it's been very nice. No more bullshit traffic, bullshit parking, bullshit walk in and out, bullshit aisle walking around slow people, bullshit searching, bullshit looking for an employee for 20 minutes to help get a $3 stick of deodorant, bullshit line at checkout, etc etc. Now it's just click add to cart and it shows up at my door the next day.
I'm sure it's partly by design because they charge a subscription for the service, but the convenience and money/time saved not having to drive makes it so worth it.
I view this as a self correction in itself as well. Walgreens is losing money because they skewed so far that they're annoying customers into leaving en masse for other options. Now their options are they can either go back to the old model that worked better, or they can keep playing hardball until more stores go out of business, and someone else can take over that corner and sell better.
Wendy's is pretty decent, expensive but better if you use their app. I usually still see a code in there somewhere for $2 off or something, and their small frosty's aren't quite at fuck off levels of pricing yet.
Taco bell I feel like every restaurant is different. One near my house used to be bomb AF, then they had a changeover of all their staff and now it's terrible. Even the drive thru is different now they now have an AI taking your order lmao. Another location down the road is better at the food quality, but they fuck up what is supposed to go with your order half the time so at that one I always have to check the bag in the parking lot before I leave.
The older I get the most I just feel like it isn't worth it as much anymore. If I'm going to have to wait a half hour plus in the drive thru line, pay $15 for a meal now or $20+ if I wanted to get dessert or another side item too, and deal with people and the headaches of it, I'd rather just keep driving home and cook something there in about the same time. Plus I can usually get 3 or 4 meals out of that $20 worth if I make it at home so each leftover is faster to make.
Fast food industry is doing a great job making sure that I stay away as best I can and be inconvenient. The sole exception so far has been Little Ceasars, still $6 for a lunch combo and if you order in the app it's great, get notified when it's ready and I literally just park out front walk in grab my order out of the ready bin and off I go. I don't understand why others haven't pivoted that way as well.
