What are some moments in society that made you in contempt for humanity? (kbin.melroy.org)

The day people were crying about fast food prices, for me.

It's like look, I used to shop at dollar tree for years when I was tight on money. I've found that I've been able to make meals even from what I gathered from there. Yet there are people who will fight tooth and nail to justify the pricing for a meal that'll last you seconds and bring about long-term health negatives.

Like, I don't understand all and any arguments there is for fast food. Fast food is just shit all around.

Man, people are hostile to me over this. I'm not sympathetic to you. I hope the prices go so high, you'll be forced to make substitutions in how you shop than going to these so-called "restaurants" so you can get your 3 minute fix.

Fast food good for people with not enough time or energy to make meals, if you were having such a rough life as to use what I presume is a dollar store of some sort, then surely you get that? And the fact it's gotten more expensive, being the symbol of the economic strength of the post-90s Pax Americana world order, it's upsetting to see it get so expensive, as a reminder that this world order is long gone and we're firmly in times of economic hardship and sweeping populism across the west now.

No I don't because I've had time to make meals and there are other foods out there that substitute fast food that can be acquired in short time frames. Fast Food isn't all that exists, you know.

Everything else you've said is just word salad and just excuses to be lazy.

Okay, so you're just a moron and you can't relate to your fellow worker with slightly different circumstances because you've not experienced them specifically. That if anything is actually lazy. I suggest you read my posts again and maybe have a salad to get that blood pressure down lol, I have no skin in this game because I WFH so I can cook elaborate meals anytime.
