TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 The car smells like whataburger Im gonna puke For those who are blessed enough not to have one (i think they're only in texas, Oklahoma, and some obscure place in cali) its basically on par with mcdonalds with taste and smell Basically cardboard dumped in grease They're in Arizona, too, but I've never eaten at one. I'm not a fan of fast food, either; I'll eat it if I have to, but don't expect me to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv he/him Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I've always thought of you as about the same age as me: 16-18 range. Yep, same with candies and everything else. America cuts corners so badly. And yet, Kinder Surprise is illegal for you. Always found it super funny, compared with how easy it is to get a gun in US.

Not a fan of MDA's stance or methods (they'll find pictures of people carrying in public--in places where it's perfectly legal to do so--and post them on the MDA Facebook page to shame them) but I've always found the Kinder ban ridiculous.

What even made it illegal From what I've read it's illegal, because it has non-edible things inside an edible chocolate egg. So theoretically a kid might swallow something... BUT! The toy inside is closed in a plastic egg, that is so big, that even an adult, trying hard wouldn't be able to swallow it. As for what's inside the plastic egg, that's inside the chocolate egg... well, that depends Usually some plastic figurines or a little toy car, sometimes puzzles or something to throw around. Frequently there are themed series, with little characters from Disney movies etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public shaming is always a stupid tactic no matter what it's used for. Scare tactics like that always are. Unfortunately they're effective so I doubt people will stop using them.

Unfortunately they're effective so I doubt people will stop using them. It's sad--the gun situation needs a solution that works for both sides, but MDA is screaming about KILLING THE CHILDREN and the NRA is screaming about TAKING AWAY OUR FREEDOM and no one is inclined to just sit the heck down and DISCUSS it like ADULTS, so the government is going to come up with a solution nobody likes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same with so many things these days. Abortion: "Child-eating murderers!" "Women-hating dictators!" Religion: "Amoral heathens!" "Unscientific morons!" Java/C++: "Inferior Object oriented language!" "Inferior object-oriented language!" That last one might just happen to me though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I framed it as "I'm thankful for the patience I need during this long job search." I'm thinking I'll say I'm thankful for...

Kobold King he/him Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 HEY GUYS!! Is this the bandwagon? I've always wanted to jump on the bandwagon! Okay, I've redirected the bandwagon to roll off a cliff and land in a starving crocodile sanctuary. YOu have thirteen minutes to work together and steer the bandwagon from your certain doom. HAVE FUN WITH THE BANDWAGON, GUYS! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
