If your first date is a glorious scam heist, the future looks promising

Maybe don’t order carnist options though

Why not let people excercise their liberty to decide for themselves. Plus how is this relevent to a date a majority of people are omnivorous anyways

Was their comment one of those ‘self-identifying without being asked’ moments? Certainly feels stereotypical to me. But, it couldn’t be that obvious.

Nuggies are breaded, not just meat, so this is omnivorous not carnist.

Carnism

Ideology that supports the use and consumption of animal products.


Things can have several properties, for example a thing can be red, which doesn’t mean the thing is not a cube.

Usually vegans use the term carnist to represent those who engage in animal products full stop, rather than breaking down the difference into carnivore and omnivore.

To us vegans, whether you’re carnivore or omnivore results in the same outcomes. Plus, many conversations surrounding veganism don’t necessarily involve diets, such as with clothing, in which case again it’s easier to use a single term to describe everything non-vegan.

You might say that non-vegans is a good enough term to describe the above, but that kind of framing can paint carnists in a more benevolent light that acknowledges their freedom of choice, rather than framing carnists with regards to the outcomes they cause, and the victims that suffer because of them.

My first date with my girlfriend was at a Wendy’s and we took the bus to get there. That was 2005. We got married in 2009 and just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. It doesn’t matter where you go or how much you spend, it just matters who you’re there with.

How many times did they say, “Sir, this is a Wendy’s” before they just gave up and let you stay all the way until you got married there?

They said “drive through” explicitly. I think there’s a difference between going somewhere because you’re poor and going somewhere because you’re lazy.

I’m barely older than you’re marriage but McDonald’s was a very different vibe when I was a kid. I still wouldn’t say anything to shame people going to McDonald’s for a first date today.

The entire reason the McDonald’s app exists is so McDonald’s can have variable prices to rip you off based on what they learn about your habits.

I hardly classify using their services in unintended ways as “stealing”.

If tech went down for six months, they’d offer you a discount for hopping on one leg while rubbing your stomach and patting your head.

Besides data collection, the main purpose is to get more money out of people willing to pay more without missing out on people who won’t pay that much.

It’s tiered pricing where they’re fine with you selecting a tier, as long as they steer enough to the higher one l.

I can appreciate those who steal from corporations but I sure as hell don’t want to implicate myself by being with them when they do it lol

A guy I hung out with in college told me about all the ATMs he stole and asked if I wanted to go with him next time… I said maybe another time and then never spoke to him again. I didn’t want to be associated with him when he eventually got busted…which he did…

I don’t know the details of these nuggets, but I’m guessing they used multiple sessions to use a coupon code multiple times or something of the sort. More just exploiting a poorly set up system than theft.

Stealing ATMs is significantly different and definitely more illegal in my mind.

We are the poor.

Yes, there are poorer people out there, but I think we all kinda forget how big the divide is. It lets us put ourselves in a place where we feel like we’re doing well comparatively, but I think it’s important that we remember that we’re all being taken advantage of and we all deserve better. Yeah, definitely some will need a bit more uplifting than others, but it’s Us vs. Them, and I think we spend too much time trying to further sub-divide that ‘Us’. Thank you for attending my crazy segue.

We’re all poor enough to deserve those free nugs though.

You unwittingly (or maybe purposefully but few spotted it so far) tripped on the Moral Core of the matter.

Somebody tricking the McDonald’s system for personal upside maximization isn’t the class warrior so many are portraying here, rather he’s just another greedy fucker with a swindle that just so happens to target a large corpo.

A class warrior would be trying to make things better for everybody, not just himself.

I can see how his date’s take on this might have been that he’s a guy who is dishonest for his own gain, which is hardly the kind of person you want to get in a relationship with.

Further, somebody with their own decent notebook and the technical knowhow to run Android emulators is almost certainly not poor and actually needing to do this, which would be the only valid reason to do it.

Someone else posted something about the price being different based on your user profile/purchase history, so maybe having three logins, they can’t build up a proper profile.

Or they have a “limit 10 per customer” thing?

Edit: Guy above me posted that it was a sign-up-and-get-free-nuggets kinda thing…
