Hugh McDonald vs. Alec John Such

This is a fascinating topic in rock history. If it’s all true (that McDonald played on all the recordings and even played live for them) this would make Such the luckiest “stand in” in rock music. I want to see their bank accounts. I wonder how these two were compensated (if true). One played and the other one just fit the look better it seems?

Odd request for any McDonalds Managers/Franchisees

My gran likes the caramel sauce from the sundaes, but she doesn't like the soft serve. For years she's been going and getting just buying several pumps of the sauce, but it's always difficult - no many how many extras she asks to buy, it's always a small amount.

She's now no longer able to do that herself. Other family have been making runs to do the battle to get more sauce, because that's just about the only thing she has any interest in eating, anymore.

I tried contacting McDonalds Corporate to see if they could arrange for me to be able to just buy it, but they turned me down. It's not possible to get it anywhere else, as it's a custom product from McCormick's and other brands won't do the trick.

I'm hoping that someone here might be or know a manager/franchisee and can sell me a whole container - I'm happy to pay full retail price, you tell me how many pumps are in one, I'll pay for the whole thing.

I'm not sure if the McCafe caramel sauce is the same as the sundae sauce - I've heard it is, and that it comes in reasonable-sized bottles. But whatever works.

e:

Thankyou everyone for the upvotes, suggestions and gildings. I'm truly shocked at the upvotes and kind comments. I was expecting maybe a couple of replies and hoping maybe someone's cousin or whatever would happen to be a manager and be able to do me a solid.

Please don't give more gold/emoji/whatever... save your money or make a donation to a worthy charity.

To answer the same common suggestions:

Other Brands/Home Made: Thanks, but no: other brands won't do the trick, including the Toroni one from the US. Home made also doesn't do the trick. It's the closest thing to her memory of a caramel sauce that's no longer made.

ACA/Today Tonight/Social Media trolling: No, thanks. I'm not doing that. Nobody else knows I'm doing this, and there's zero chance any of us going on camera or giving interviews.

Get a job/steal it: No.

AITA for telling my brothers pregnant wife she can give birth in an ally for all I care

So I (30m) have a (19m) half brother

He has been living with since he got married in December because my mother and he had falling out due to the fact he got married so young

I’m not gonna sugar coat it if I knew than what I know now I wouldn’t have let them move in Both him and his wife (19) are the worst house guest I’ve ever had

I say guest because they’re meant to be looking for work and a place of their own. I’ve made it clear from the get go it was temporary because I’ve 4 children myself (7f,5m,3f,1m) and my wife works from home

Since they have moved in they have complained about how loud mornings are and my cooking (I do all the cooking) because I rarely do anything spicy which my brothers wife craves. They’re messy and never pick up after themselves even moaned to my wife about never doing THEIR laundry nor making my brothers wife snacks during the day

They think me and my wife are their personal help/drivers than try and guilt us when we tell them “no” to 4am McDonald’s runs or my brothers wife’s rude comments but “hehe we are too young to know better”

It all came to a head this week when all our children were at home due to a bug going around nothing bad just schools/daycare in our area are extra careful. I couldn’t get the day off so unfortunately my wife had to deal with 6 children while trying to work

My bother and his wife demanded they all stay in one room and we get them take out so there’s no germs near their food. When my wife told them they should cook for once because she is extremely busy they filled out calling her a heartless Bitch for making a 5 month pregnant woman cook for 8 people and my brother clean while he was trying to sort out “business”

It got to the point of them screaming at my wife and my kids crying my wife had a anxiety attack

I rushed home when I got an sos text but my brother was waiting at the door crying about “not being our slave” and how he his pregnant wife is starving

When I got to my wife’s office and she explained everything I saw red, I told them they had 30 days to get out of my house and it was time they faced the real world

They both tried to argue with me explaining none of them can drive and my brother still hasn’t got a job i said I didn’t care. My brothers wife said that they’d end up homeless and if anything happened to my niece it was all my fault I told basically what the title says and she started crying calling me a heartless asshole

I explained my situation to my sis

Please boycott Taco Bell, we are breaking.

Hey CLC Restaurants Inc. FUCK YOU

Reddit do your magic.

I know this probably won’t get picked up because we’re not Kellogg’s and it’s definitely NOT a huge deal, but fuck Taco Bell

Management gets a fat bonus off of our up-sale percentage each month. Crew members get McDonalds gift cards or other types of gift cards if we’re “lucky”. We do all the work, and I personally have one of the highest up-sale percentages. Where’s our bonus at? - our “Area Coach” received a $40,000 bonus (not in a month sorry maybe at the half year mark, he’s the one who oversees the stores)

On top of that we get screamed at by customers for asking and then I get yelled at by management if I forget to ask. We’ve been told to have a more positive attitude whenever we bring up the fact that we should have a bonus as well

Starting pay is 14.25 an hour, team trainers are paid 14.50 an hour. On January 1st 2022 minimum wage goes from $13.69 to $14.49

We currently make 0.56 cents more than minimum wage. So in January I’ll be making 0.24 cents more than when I started. Technically our current wage is “competitive” so shouldn’t our starting pay be raised by at least 0.56 cents above minimum wage? Shouldn’t the team trainers pay be raised by $1.01? I should be making $15.05 and trainers should be making $15.30, but no! I’m even more pissed because when you become a trainer you get a 0.25 cent raise. Now it will only be an 1 cent difference. (Edited because math)

We’re tired of up-sales. A customer got mad so she called the store to tell them that I seemed sad and bored. She bitched about me until my manager just decided to hang up on her. I literally gave the driver a compliment, assured them everything was in the bag, and told them to have a good day. WHY.

Another customer today ordered a shot ton of food and was being super rude. I gave him his food and he just sat there. There were 3 cars behind him. He signaled me and asked if he could order a large Baja. I had an order on my headset so I told him he could come inside because we have a line and I’m currently taking an order. He got so fucking pissed “ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS ITS ONE DRINK JUST TAKE MY FUCKING ORDER GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE”. It’s like that every single day. The customers treat us like the scum of the earth. They bitch and scream at us because of up sales. We’ve had people refuse to leave the window insisting that we got their order wrong and stay there until we eventually have to call the cops and ban them. EV

What I think would happen if the attempted assassinations were successful

Thank you to u/epicnoober1233 for the idea. Consider this like a “part two” to my post from yesterday. Again, I’m just speculating so consider this all loosely, and these events are mutually exclusive, not one timeline.

Andrew Jackson- At least one of Richard Lawrence’s guns doesn’t jam and Jackson is gunned down on Capitol Hill in 1835. Not only would this be the first time in US history a president was murdered, but it’d also be the first time a sitting president has died. The constitutional crisis of who succeeds a dead president hits the country 6 years earlier. Now here’s the thing: the practice of the Vice President becoming president is mostly due to the fact that John Tyler, more or less, made a power grab and demanded to be considered the president, not acting president, and he succeeded. I’m not necessarily sure VP Van Buren would’ve done the same thing, though, meaning the way the line of succession works could be completely and unrecognizably different. Either way, I think Van Buren takes over the job, with either the title “president” or “Vice President”. He serves out the rest of Jackson’s second term and is succeeded by William Henry Harrison. Van Buren’s legacy would be much more positive to those who know anything about him, as he isn’t saddled with the panic of 1837.

Abraham Lincoln- I wasn’t going to include presidents that were assassinated (and I won’t for the other 3) but Abraham Lincoln’s first assassination attempt -On August 20th, 1864- has one fundamental difference from the successful one: Hannibal Hamlin was the VP at the time. So if Lincoln were infact murdered during his first assassination attempt, Hamlin would take over, and in all likeliness would’ve been given the Republican nomination in Lincoln’s place. I’m gonna assume President Hamlin signs off on Sherman’s March as well, and that coupled with sympathy votes from Lincoln’s death could secure him victory in the 1864 election over McLellan. With Hamlin overseeing the end of the civil war and the ratifying of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments “in Lincoln’s memory”, I could see him winning in 1868 if he chooses to run. If he does then the south would be in much better shape post-war and freed slaves would be better off with no sabotage from Johnson. Hamlin’s legacy would be that of possibly a top 10 president, but Lincoln would not. He’d be remembered as a Kennedy type, remembered mostly as a “what he could’ve been”.

Chick Fil A “Christian” ethics

My daughter just left her job at CFA after 1 year. She hired on at $8.25, then worked her way through the ranks as an award-winning model employee who trained new hires, and was loved by the entire crew.

She worked in weather from 25° to 100° F. Put up with customers who remarked on her breasts, her hair, tried to force her into conversations that were completely inappropriate, and questioned her sexuality due to hair length.

She was supposed to work 15-20 hours a week, as she is not yet 18, but was regularly scheduled for several more hours, then told she had to find a replacement for the hours over 20 she couldn’t work. All that, and she left having increased her pay by only $1.25.

When she went to give her notice, 30 days ahead of her last day, they asked her why she was leaving. She told them she found a job earning $12 an hour. Keep in mind that CFA is hiring new staff above that rate. She was told to please let the manager check on a raise over the weekend. She came back saying she couldn’t pay her another $2.50 an hour, even though they are paying new staff, and older staff that amount to start.

I’m proud of her! She handled all of this on her own, and politely declined their offer. She is now 18 and working for a great employer in the evenings, allowed to work on homework and interact with wonderful people in a low stress environment.

Chick Fil A wasn’t all bad, but the fact that it is run by, and touted as a Christian organization, and it pays much less than McDonalds, while charging 50% more, is disappointing and hypocritical. Glad she got the experience. Glad she moved on.

Blast from the past! NY Times circa 1992: Sliwa Admits Faking Crimes For Publicity

By David Gonzalez Nov. 25, 1992 The Guardian Angels' founder and leader, Curtis Sliwa, has admitted that six of his group's early crime-fighting exploits were actually faked and former and present associates contend that even more of the group's activities were publicity stunts.

Rather than riding the subways to protect the public, the associates said, Mr. Sliwa and his wife, Lisa, run a group that has become little more than a security force for a block of midtown restaurants, its membership and activities exaggerated, its patrols, in trademark red berets, converging only on highly publicized situations.

Mr. Sliwa said in an article in The New York Post yesterday that he manufactured six stunts, including a report of the rescue of a mugging victim substantiated by a group member displaying bruises he had actually received falling down in the subway. In another, Mr. Sliwa said he was injured fighting several rapists at a Brooklyn subway station. 'We Believed the Lie'

Mr. Sliwa said he was coming forward now because he felt "unworthy" of the outpouring of support after he was shot in an as-yet-unsolved attack earlier this year. He maintained that attack was genuine.

But a number of former and current members of the patrol group, including two of its co-founders, said Mr. Sliwa had yet to admit all. They spoke of their disillusionment and told of additional incidents.

Tony Mao, a co-founder of the group, said he drenched himself in gasoline some dozen years ago and claimed it had happened when he pounced on two men who were planning to attack a token-booth clerk. The incident, he said, was planned by Mr. Sliwa, who enlisted two other Angels to pose as the thwarted bad guys to capitalize on a similar real-life attack. His account was confirmed by Arnaldo Salinas, a co-founder who now serves as the group's coordinator.

"We believed the lie," said Mr. Mao, who left the group in late 1980 and now works as a guard in a city hospital. "We told the stories so much we convinced ourselves."

Another former close associate of Mr. Sliwa's, William Diaz, said he was told to delay handing over a member wanted for questioning in the sexual assault of a child earlier this year. Mr. Diaz said he stalled for about a week because Mr. Sliwa needed to find a replacement for the member, who ran the group's West 46th Street headquarters. Anger and outrage, Mr. Diaz said, led him to bring the suspect to the police, where he was arrested and has since pleaded guilty.

The people who think flipping burgers is an easy job have never done it themselves

Seriously, I worked at a Wendy's for 6 months and it was the shittiest job Ive ever had and the second most laborious job. People come through the drive thru non stop all the way up till 2 a.m. The few moments where someone isn't in the drive thru you are restocking and cleaning what you can. At the end of the night you bust your ass for an additional hour cleaning everything up.

If you think it's easy I challenge you to do it part time for a few months and see how you feel about it then. Obviously if you work in a store that doesn't do much business it wont be as bad, but most do a lot of business unless they are on their way to closing for good

Edit: This got more attention than I was expecting, let me answer the questions people keep messaging me so they stop.

1.) Most laborious job I ever had was when I was a journeyman doing industrial coatings.
2.) Current job is software development.
3.) No you don't have to be especially skilled in anything specific to do the job, it's still a hard job and deserves to be paid decently.
4.) I'm sorry working at McDonald's was the easiest job you ever had, your life must suck. I recommend finding something else like I did

The McDonald’s strike is On! Do not shop or apply for jobs at McDonald’s until they stop paying their employees poverty wages and instead pay them a thriving wage.

We are laser focusing on McDonalds until they pay their workers a thriving wage.

McDonalds is a company that was built off of greed and theft by their “founder” Ray Croc. They continue on his legacy of greed and theft by how they treat their employees.

Don’t work or buy from McDonalds. Go eat at a local burger shop or something that helps keep money in your community.

“The studies have found each $100 spent at local independents generated $45 of secondary local spending compared to $14 for a bug box chain” (AMIBA). This show that going local is better because it contributes more to the economy. The money that you spend in your community a bigger portion is given back not like fast food restaurant who keep most of it money.”

Edit: Accounts that are less than a few months old keep commenting and saying “I’m going to eat at McDonald’s now.” Good. Eat there everyday for every single meal. That will show me. Destroy your body with terrible and unhealthy food. You sure are showing me.

Y’all trolls pretend to care about small businesses, but in reality don’t care at all. You would literally eat garbage food and ruin your health just to seem like you are owning us. For every one of you there are many more of us. This is an issue conservatives and democrats both agree on. Helping family businesses. Go out and support a local business.

DOCTOR STRANGE MOM Screening info.

EDIT - This post has been cleaned up and more clarification has been added. Also, This is still Dr. Strange's movie, and Benedict Cumberbatch is said to have really given an emotional performance as someone who feels responsible for all of the multiverse stuff.

  • Just to have to say, very very risky getting this information out but yes there was a very close cut of Doctor Strange MOM being shown at the Marvel Disney lots. As noted by other scoopers, this film needs extensive visual effects work for everything in the film and the one trailer (nwh post credits…) is a complete misdirect for the actual plot.
  • ALSO!!!!!!! This film is called the MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, the film is crazy. The budget is being kept secret so that nothing of the cameos they are getting leaked. However, its is estimated to be about 375-425 million after reshoots... they pretty much gave everyone 250,000-500,000 to anyone who could come back to cameo in the last few weeks..
  • ALSO, the film was RESHOT!, and they want some more of that good old Multiverse money because Sony took alot of it from NWH.
  • The film opens with Strange and Wong being hunted Sam Raimi camera work style by an unseen force. WIth them is America Chavez, the trio bounces through universes but Wong and Strange both die. America Chavez transports the body of Dr. Strange with her to the main MCU universe. Their deaths are very violent and scary. Dr. Strange then wakes up from this dream.
  • Dr. Strange is having problems, due to his tampering of fate and basically forcing a fixed point in time (Thanos winning) to having Tony Stark sacrifice himself causing this timeline to be very unstable and start disappearing like what happened to the universe in the Supreme Strange episode. His actions in NWH have caused the multiverse even more problems as well.
  • Dr. Strange then goes to Christine Palmer’s wedding. In this scene, Strange and the surgeon from the previous film have a sarcastic conversation. Then, Strange has to leave as New York is attacked by Gargantos. A demonic octopus looking creature. This is the introduction of America Chavez as well, this scene is partially shown in the trailer (cutting the bus in half).
  • At a pizza parlor, Chavez explains that her world became unstable due to the demons chasing her and that she has been “breaking” through the multiverse trying to find help. She loves pizza as it helps her refuel after the extensive amount of energy needed to jump through multiverses. She also explains t

It only takes one card to take down the house. McDonald’s is that card.

It only takes one organization to fall, and the rest will need to follow suit. If we organize, and make it so they don’t have a single set of hands, they’ll go out of business if they don’t comply.

We need to laser focus our energy on one point to cause enough damage to make movement happen. Spreading firepower too thin won’t cause the damage that we need. It’s the tip of the knife that gets through the armour.

What does this mean? — Refuse to work for McDonald’s and only McDonald’s until they offer $25 wages as a standard. Work elsewhere. Anywhere else except McDonald’s, unless they state and pay $25. Force them to raise their wage. Make it the known rule. McDonald’s = $25 or walk.

If you work at McDonald’s, find a new job immediately. Post that you’re looking on your social networks. Demand $25 from your boss. Quit without notice at rush hour. Get your coworkers to come with you. Make it clear why.

If you don’t work there and see a job listing for McDonald’s — apply, waste their time, take the job, don’t show up. Quit mid-shift. Convince their employees to join you. Cause chaos. Make it impossible for their business to continue until they pay $25. Burn out their middle management resources until they join the fight. Take down the shields. Make it clear why.

It only takes one card to fall. One focused effort of organization, one company under the attack, and it will force that entire industry to follow suit. Once that happens, other industries will in turn need to follow suit or lose their work force.

A single point of impact makes the largest ripple. McDonald’s is that point of impact.

Why McDonald’s? It will cause the greatest visibility, impacting the most people, causing the most pressure. It’s our cultural reference point for “low paying job”. If that reference point becomes $25, everything will need to recalibrate.

Edit: Give cash tips to McDonald’s cashiers with redd.it/qtqzun written large on the bill

Edit: For anyone who would like to apply, it takes just a few minutes to schedule an interview at https://signup.mchire.com — I’m sure everyone would love to hear about your experience with the process

Honest thoughts on Derby’s academy players- Part 1: The OAPs.

As I’m fairly bored at the moment I thought it would be interesting to start a series about the current crop of academy players at the club. Obviously, under the circumstances that we’re in the role of the academy players changes significantly as youngsters like Thompson, Ebosele, Plange, Stretton etc. have to be thrust straight into first-team championship football whereas under normal circumstances they’d be eased in.

Derby’s academy is maybe the aspect of the club that I care most about and am the proudest of. Fuck Mel Morris the cunt but without his investment into the academy, I don’t think we’d even have a chance this year. Though we’ll probably lose at the very least one of our young players this month I think it would be interesting to offer some analysis on the current group that occupies 50% of our first team and bench.

The "OAPs"

I'd argue that four of the current academy players have been in and around the first team for long enough now that they've become established first-team players. That would obviously be Bird, Knight, Sibley, and Buchanan. These lot are all arguably by-products of the Cocu-era, with Cocu responsible for weaning these guys into first-team football in the first place, of which he deserves a lot of credit. However, since I'd argue that under Rooney the majority of these guys have matured and seriously established themselves as championship-level footballers.

Bird, after in my opinion an incredibly poor 20-21 season looks a whole new player this year. I think it's pretty obvious watching any Derby game this season that he's been working with Rooney behind the scenes, namely on being more positive with his passes and threading the ball in between the lines of the opposition defences. I'd argue that more than anyone else in the team Bird is currently our biggest creative outlet. Under Rooney his set-piece delivery has improved and though his stats aren't particularly flashy with goal contributions, Bird's passing is crucial to any attack we attempt. His role is to be that bridge between moving the ball from the midfield to the attack, as well as to beat the press of the opposition. He clearly isn't afraid to attempt that risky, forward pass these days, whereas previously he'd come under a bit of criticism for simply being a 'ball-recycler'. Sometimes it doesn't always pay off, a couple of occasions this season Bird has been a little bit optimistic with his passing and it's resulted in chances for the opposition. What

Can we talk about teachers being treated like children?

I am fed up with teachers being treated like children. In talking with my teacher friends in other schools, other districts, and other states there is one common theme. We are treated like children.

This new rule at my (elementary) teacher friend’s school absolutely blew me away.

Teachers can only have soda, iced coffee, juice, or any drink other than water if they pour it in an unidentifiable plain white styrofoam cup. No drinking from a soda can or a McDonald’s cup. It’s not fair to the kids! They are only allowed to have water so they should not see teachers walking around drinking other drinks.

When I was a kid it would have never occurred to me that teachers needed to follow the same rules as students, or hide anything, to make it appear “fair”. I understood they were the teachers and that was a different role with different responsibilities and privileges than a student.

A woman decides to have a face lift for her 50th birthday. She spends $15,000 and looks sensational. On her way home, she stops at a news stand to buy a newspaper. Before leaving, she says to the clerk, ‘I hope you don’t mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?”.

’About 32,’ is the reply.’

‘Nope! I’m exactly 50,’ the woman says happily.

A little while later she goes into McDonald’s and asks the counter girl the very same question.

The girl replies, ‘I’d guess about 29.’ The woman replies with a big smile, ‘Nope, I’m 50.’

Now she’s feeling really good about herself. She stops at a candy shop on her way down the street.

She goes up to the counter to get some mints and asks the assistant the same burning question.

The clerk responds, ‘Oh, I’d say 30.’

Again she proudly responds, ‘I’m 50, but thank you!’

While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to her the same question.

He replies, ‘Lady, I’m 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was young there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman was. It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra Then, and only then I can tell you EXACTLY how old you are.’

They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the better of her. She finally blurts out, ‘What the hell, go ahead.’

He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each breast and he gently pinches each nipple. He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other.

After a couple of minutes of this, she says, ‘Okay, okay.....How old am I?’

He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his hands, and says, ‘Madam, you are 50.’

Stunned and amazed, the woman says, ‘That was incredible, how could you tell?’

‘I was behind you at McDonalds’.

You want to discuss my hair in a performance meeting? By all means

About 8 years ago, I used to work as a store assistant in a UK-based chain of electronics stores. The old store manager who hired me was lovely, the new manager who replaced him, Sally, was an arsehole who loved going on a power trip. Not only did she have no technology knowledge to actually help customers, she would have favourites and personally pick on people she did not like. The people were the assistant manager that she was trying to push out, a colleague who was neurodivergent, and myself (I suspect the reason she didn't like me was because she was obese and permanently on some sort of fad diet whilst I had weirdly high metabolism and sometimes ate McDonald's for lunch). She shirked her responsibilities at work constantly to go on her phone (none of us were allowed our phones on the shop floor), took multiple breaks and even went out to get her her nails re-done during her shift because she chipped one on a shelf...

Onto the story, the main excuse she used to pick on me was that my hair was "untidy" (my hair was dry, wavy and has a naturally coarse texture - thanks mum). I had a shower each morning, clean uniform and brushed my hair before work, which is all that I was willing to do for a minimum wage job. After receiving two "uniform warnings" for my "untidy and unhygienic" natural hair, the third warning resulted in a "performance review meeting" aka try not to get fired. I was very depressed at the time and did not have the energy nor resources to find another job, plus I liked my colleagues, who were onto her bullsh*t so I didn't want to leave at the time. The assistant manager briefed me on what would happen during the meeting and told me that he will need to ask me some pre-assigned questions and Sally would need to transcribe everything said down into my personnel file. Cue malicious compliance.

Sally had these long fake nails that made it a difficult for her to type. The meeting was meant to last 20 minutes max. The night before, I prepared everything I was going to say about how my hair was naturally wavy and coarse, with strong hints about racial discrimination thrown in (I'm SE Asian), humourous anecdotes about how difficult my hair has been to manage and my entire hygiene routine in step-by-step detail. I even brought my hairbrush with me. I answered all questions in protracted detail using the full extent of the english language (and thesaurus.com) and watched her struggle to keep up with the dialogue and ask us to slow down in order

Any fans of The Faculty (1998) with Elijah Wood & Josh Hartnett? What did you think of this film?

One of my favorite horror films from the 90s from Robert Rodriguez & Kevin Williamson, I used to watch this film all the time with my friends, we still rewatch from time to time. I never really hear it mentioned alot but I always felt that it was a good horror film. It had good & likable characters, good scares, good quotes, good soundtrack, some nice twists & turns especially near the end of the film. And it had nice references to classics like >!The Thing (and it's classic Blood Test scene with the Drug Test scene & the crawling head scene) & The Invasion of the Body Snatchers !<among others, really enjoyed this one.

And it had such a great cast of actors too: Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, Famke Janssen, Robert Patrick, Jordana Brewster, Salma Hayek, Jon Stewart, Clea Duvall, Usher Raymond, Shawn Hatosy, Laura Harris, Summer Phoenix, Christopher McDonald, Piper Laurie, Bebe Neuwirth & the late Daniel Von Bargen among others. Any fans of the film? What did you think of it? Did it scare you or creep you out? Did the twists catch you offguard?

Ok hold up, PAPER bags are outlawed in Surrey now too??

Listen, I understood the "bring your own bag" rule for grocery stores. Or at least I thought I did? I thought the point was that plastic [grocery] bags created too much non-degradeable waste, so stores were moving to the alternatives of using paper bags or requiring customers to bring their own.

I did not realize paper bags were also banned, which I learned today while getting breakfast at the McDonald's drive thru. When the kid at the box asked "would you like to buy a bag with your order for 25¢?" I thought there's no way McDonald's is trying to upsell me a bag, but nope he was serious. They tried to hand me my sandwich and fries individually, lmao. I just can't fathom anyone going through the drive thru and passing on a bag with their order.
What dumbfuck made this rule? Or am I stupid for not understanding it? Please enlighten me.

On a different note, McDonald's has the audacity to give me wax/plastic coated coffee cups, fry pouches, and sandwich wrappers but they're charging extra for a to-go bag 😂

2022 Mock Draft V1

First mock draft of the year. I used the TDN mock draft thing so if the picks are a bit out of order, blame them. If it seems like I know nothing about your team, I probably dont. Its halfway through the season, so cut me a little slack ok?


  1. Detroit Lions - Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon - Thibodeaux has been the consensus best player in this class since last year, and he hasnt really dont anything to make me think that he shouldn't go one. Detroit is clearly building up the lines, and Thibodeaux should provide a great threat off the EDGE for the hapless franchise.

  2. Houston Texans - Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida - This is an absolutely awful spot for the Texans. The QB crop this year is mediocre, most of the blue chip guys are at places the Texans have decent players at, and the only player I would call a safe bet is off the board. I think the Texans punt on QB this year for another year of Tyrod and Mills. With that, I'm going to go out on a limb and have the Texans select the big CB out of Florida, Kaiir Elam. With Stingley’s star lowering due to injuries and inconsistent play, Elam has slid up to the #1 CB spot for me, and should be a big physical CB on the outside for Houston, not too unlike last year’s #8 overall pick Jaycee Horn.

  3. Denver Broncos (Send 1.16, 2023 DEN 1st, 96, 194 to PHI via MIA for 1.3) - Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss - Vic Fangio is very likely gone after this year, and whoever is coming in will be inheriting a black hole at QB. Ever since Peyton retired, Denver has had serious problems addressing the position, and I think they could take a risk here to try to fix it instead of repeatedly patching it up with journeyman QBs and late first/second round guys. Corral has been excellent this year for Ole Miss, a big arm QB with plenty of toughness and great legs to be dangerous on the run. QBs almost always go higher than expected, and I could see Denver taking a risk in the hopes that Corral can use his great talent to become a truly elite QB to match Mahomes and Herbert.

  4. Jacksonville Jaguars - Evan Neal, OT, Alabama - This pick is honestly one I could probably write in pen at this point. Cam Robinson is probably gone, and the #1 priority for a franchise should be to protect the hell out of Trevor Lawrence. Not much to think about here.

  5. Washington Football Team - Carson Strong, QB, Nevada - Washington really needs to address QB at this point. Carson Strong might only play for a

The Owl House in my idea for a "Fillmore!" reboot

So has anyone heard of Fillmore because I've got a reboot idea for the show including putting several other Disney shows in it as a shared universe, inculding The Owl House and Amphibia as well as some other Disney shows.

Here's a full list of the Disney shows Fillmore would crossover with in a shared universe: Wander Over Yonder, Milo Murphy’s Law, Phineas and Ferb, The 7D, Star Vs The Forces of Evil, Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series, The Owl House, Big City Greens Lilo & Stitch, Amphibia, Gravity Falls, Teamo Supremo, The Ghost and Molly McGee, Future-Worm and DuckTales (2017)

Also to the other shows it would be non-canon to them.
