      I’m reminded of when McDonalds did their Rick and Morty szechuan sauce promotion, and basically no place actually had it.

      It was a big story that Rick and Morty fans harassed workers complaining that the franchise lied to them.

      It got so bad that McDonalds released an app to show where and when stories had the sauce, and announced they’d be selling posters as well. Unfortunately, some locations lied or at least misused the app to say they had the sauce when they didn’t.

      So I went to one location with my brother, and we found a line forming outside. The store wasn’t allowed to sell the posters till late in the afternoon for some reason, and wouldn’t let anyone there for the sauce even enter the building with cashiers actively blocking any Rick and Morty fan from entering, even just looking college age was enough to be refused entry.

      I thought this was ridiculous and just said “Wow, the only thing that’d make this worse is if they didn’t have the sauce.”, only for the lady guarding the door to tell me that they did indeed not have the sauce, despite the app saying they did.

      There was this guy simping hard for her, mi’lady style, and a bunch of brodudes talking about how they’re so Nihilistic and Smart “JUST LIEK RICK!”, whole thing was a shit show. He said “Oh yeah, no they don’t have the sauce, I asked.”

      He was eating cheeseburgers despite not being allowed in, apparently you could have the food brought out to you if you used the app.

      It was fucking cold that day. Still feels like, even false advertising aside, something about this had to be illegal.

      So I said “Fuck this, I’m leaving.”, just got into my car, went to Wendy’s, ordered chicken nuggets and the most asian sounding sauce they had. Posted one of the only food selfies I’ve ever done of what I ordered

      “Was going to post me eating the sauce, but I went to Wendy’s instead because this store actually has products they claim to offer.”

      A friend of mine asked the next day what was up with that post, because Food Selfies or even regular selfies are just THAT out of character for me, and I told him the story.

      He looked at me geniunely impressed, and said “Wait, you valued your own self-respect over the ‘cool corporate thing’, voiced your dissatisfaction, and calmly left without making a scene or embarassing yourself? If anyone was Rick at this event, it was you”

      I just said “Huh”, as I didn’t do that to be cool, I was just hungry, wanted to buy nuggets, and didn’t get them from a store that lied about having them…

      It was then that my brother, who had been with me when we went to McDonalds spoke up, admitting he didn’t even think of what we actually did that day either, we just up and said “Screw you guys, I’m coming home.” and said one of the wisest things I’ll never forget

      “If you think you’re Rick, it means you’re Jerry.”

    We had a saying in my country which goes roughly like this: “It’s not the dog that barks which bites”

    I’d say it applies here, and I ain’t talking about the corgies.

    It’s entirely possible that his brain didn’t forget how to be violent but it’s clear his body did. So this is basically a billboard indicating, “if you sneak up on me and restrict my arms, you can probably find my concealed weapon.”

      I think a jacket that says “I’ll shit my pants if you try to fight me, for reals.” would actually be more effective.

      Who wants to get into a fight with someone with squidgy undies?

      If you need an AR-15 to feel safe at Target, the problem is you…

      Or you’re a character in Fallout and there are Raiders in the Super Duper Mart

        I dunno… have you been to a Target recently? Anyone shopping there at this point is probably either a proud boy or one of the daughters of liberty and probably walking around with 3 guns on them. I’d feel safer around those people with an AR of my own.

        I’m a school bus driver and I have one total moron of a coworker who thinks we should all carry guns to protect the buses. He specifically wants to have his AR15 with him, with its magical 40-round mags like that would make the slightest fucking difference after somebody starts off their assault by blasting the driver’s seat. I’ve been pretending I agree with him and encouraging him to suggest this to our (very liberal) school board - since he’s above me on the seniority list.

      It’s like a car covered with bumper stickers. It’s mental illness. Unhealthy fear and rage leaking out around the edges and corrupting the facade of decency.

        Earth tone plain button ups and jeans, loafers.

        But, I can’t think what would possess anyone to wear something vaguely threatening to the general population.

        Like do they look themselves in the mirror and think: decent?

        I’m with him. My buddy calls me a cartoon character because I wear the same outfit everyday. I have multiple pairs of it though.

        Black t-shirts (mostly), some other earth tones. All solid.

        I’m all for comfort and making shit easy.

        Not op but pretty much everything I wear is just a plain color clothing item that looks ok and feels comfortable/fits well. It’s cool to focus on fashion, but for me that ends if you’re covering yourself in industry brands, supporting fast fashion/dumb luxury, or placing people above or below each other based on the perceived value of the cloth and metal they choose to wrap themselves in

    These are the same people who own a big lifted truck and then put a giant sticker on the window that says “CHEVY” just in case you or they forgot what they are driving.

      Some version of a window-wide US flag with the angry eagle, a Gadsden snake sticker, a gun maker sticker, an AR silhouette variant sticker with a juvenile anti-lib slogan like “my AR says fuck your lib tears” and of course the NRA sticker and a military service branch sticker.

          Yeah, the excerpt in period script that says “We the People…” and nothing else. Pretty much all they know of the constitution anyway besides the 2nd Amendment.

              Their only interpretation of the 2nd is “the constitution says I get to have an arsenal and nobody can do anything about it.”

              If you get a “smart one” they start spouting off supreme court and other rulings that went in their favor, and if faced with the argument that the Founding Fathers could not and would not ever have conceived of millions of guns in private hands with people having arsenals of weapons capable of modern day destruction - and especially if the Founders had been faced with school, workplace, or other random massacres - they would not have so vaguely worded the 2nd Amendment. Then they just say “well the constitution says I can, so eat it.”

              They’re perfectly happy to let society pay for their hobby.

            Yep I see that a lot in my town. But usually it will say “we the people” and then they will add “have had enough!” I see lot of pledge of allegiance and a few 10 commandments too. It’s also funny because there is someone who lives on my street with political opinions on there truck dick riding Donny then they have “kill all pedos” sticker.

    We call this “StrongMan-Posturing”, this guy never experienced violence.

    I remembered a MGTOW guy by the name “Undead-Chronic” (do any of you remember him ?) He chickened out the moment FBI showed up at his door😂
