in '08 i used to grab a burger, fries, and a drink for $3.24

what the hell happened

Inflation, a rise in wages for employees and other contributing factors.

Idiocracy is possibly one of the worst movies of all time. Its entire premise is "fuck the poor and uneducated" rather than actually addressing poverty and under-education

It is a movie?! I thought it was a documentary on how things are in real life!!!!

A small city of 17K in Central New York.

Ah, makes sense then. We have McDonald's everywhere here. You can go from one major intersection and have a McDonald's to another major intersection about a mile away and have another McDonald's.

McDonald's is the only fast food place that I can get a value meal for under 10 dollars anymore.

Where do you live? Here in Sacramento it is $12.

theyve gone up, but atleast in my area they arnt ridiculous. mcchickens are still $2.19 and theres ALWAYS deals either in the app or at individual places (buy one get one for $1 seem to be constant) and $1 large size fries in the app sems to be constantly available. yeah it sucks you need the app, but atleast theres still options out there.

I wish it would go back to just coupons.

I really don't have anything I have not gotten over. I come to terms with everything and move on.

Prices are only good if you use the app and even then it's on certain items.

Which is completely dumb that everything needs an app these days.

Fast food is no longer fast nor affordable.

That is absolutely horrible character design, just make new characters instead of completely changing an already established character.

That is far too much work for people who work in the entertainment industry now.

The higher prices now is just the cost of raising workers wages to $15/hour!

That is part of the increase but not the only part of it. It is basic economics.

Another removal of a red haired character from media. It is very sad this is happening so much.

Crazy to think the same exact things now cost $12.

That 45% could be why so many people have lost their minds.

"die" is autoflagged on social media

No, I know that. I am talking about using it in a conversation when talking to someone face to face.

I have seen it on the internet but now I have encountered several people who have said it in person. It is just the weirdest thing to say in a conversation.

The Titan fight reminded me of a Sonic game.

It has been about $4.50/gal here in Sacramento for several months now.

How much detotated wam will I need?

We'll see where it all settles but doesn't it seem like the audience for movies is sending a bit of a message this year?

Mario, Barbie and Oppenheimer are probably gonna be the movies that define the year.

Spider-man: Across the Spider-Verse and GOTG 3 did well but;
* The Flash
* Ant-man: Quantumania
* Shazam: Fury of the Gods
all performed under expectations. Massively so for a couple of them. Do we think The Marvels and Kraven are gonna do well?

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny flopped. Transformers flopped. Mission Impossible looks to be heading to a similar fate. Fast X was the lowest grossing movie in the franchise since the third movie.

What's the lesson to take here you think? Kinda looks like they need to stop relying on nostalgia bait and cinematic universes to carry films as 'event' movies and find a new well to tap. Perhaps stop pandering to people who are now 30-60?

Theaters should just shut down entirely.

I remember AOC doing that hand gesture all the time.

Yeah man, lock em up.

If it appeases my feelings, let's just fuck their civil rights. I agree with the second part though. It doesn't make it so much better that people read that and thought that they were doing something right by locking up annoying people though

The unfortunate thing is in most of those countries you don't have civil rights.

What do you think should be done about this problem, TC?

Nothing can be done at this point. Pandora's Box has been opened and it is never getting shut.

^Guy who probably believed rainbow parties were real

What is a rainbow party?

Peter Dinklage is a terrible person for this. He is the only dwarf cast in this terrible movie.

I didn't realize she had been there for two months.

Bump

Psycho!!

I doubt this person has $500k.

More than likely she was detained for yelling at a man.

5'2" just like my soon to be wife is.

Didn't Gamefly shut down?

There have been quite a few of these hoax disappearances over the years. I guess she never heard of Sherry Papini.

Curious to know what kind of punishment he'd be facing on his return to the US. Maybe there was more going on than just an assault case.

I can't imagine a simple discharge from the military would be worth it to flee to North Korea of all places.

Mental issues I would have to guess.

None of this makes sense.

That happened 4 years ago. You think that kid turned it all around and is on the straight and narrow today?

He is not.
