Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

It always cracks me up to see how pissed off at fast food restaurants people on social media get over really specific things like “I’ll never eat at Wendy’s again after what they did to the chicken sandwich.” Or, “They ended 5 for 5 Tuesdays and since then I’ve never been back.”
It’s especially funny on Lemmy though where people are pretty left and in one comment calling for abolishing capitalism and in the next they’re getting pissed about how McDonald’s chicken nuggets only come with 4 pieces instead of 5 now, or something.
To me it’s all gross and not even food, so I don’t ever eat there. But, yes, abolish capitalism and don’t eat shitty corporate fast food.
People tend to get pissed when their g5ood gets more expensive, or when the quality drops. I dunno what else to tell yah.
Fast food was never quality.
All things have a measure of quality, even the crappy things.
This is whats known as a snobb
Maybe not, but at least it was affordable calories.
Now it's neither.
I some times browse their menus when I'm in a depressive state, but in reality, I havnt had fast food, out side of one crunchwrap (that absolutely sucked) in the last 5-7 years. I got a black bean crunchwrap sometime last summer, and it just confirmed why I don't go to these places at all anymore. It's so unhealthy anyway, and there's absolutely no benefit if you ignore that either. In my youth I went ten years with no fast food. Broke my veganism for Wendy's sometime in 2014.. Aye, but were getting back there.
I feel like cooking is an act of defiance in today's capitalist world. There are many benefits to doing so. Don't support them, it's simple.
