Careful, a lot of those "twitter freaks" are here too. Some of them run the place.
Not my problem

Outrageous.
Notice how the twitter freaks that lost their shit over the happy family advertisement had no problem with the shotacon advertisement. Gee, I wonder why!

My second time touching the political side of the fourm, but the first time I saw this, I was like, "This is the best thing I've seen all day." That is until my sister showed that even a good and docile thing like this can ruin things.

This goes to my point to believe harder that X should get discontinued to destroy alll of those who are like this and use the platform.

Normal Twitter behavior since Elon took over is spamming the n-word or writing an essay about how Hitler did nothing wrong. I guess holding up an anime McDonald's ad as being representative of "traditional conservative values" is almost just as stupid, though.

Weirdly enough, I didn't see anyone getting offended or angry in the replies, maybe a troll but nothing more. Cute ad with the family, the western mcdonalds should promote these kinda ads over here, we need it

For my part I'd say they made it pretty easy to stop going there by raising their prices to nearly match Chipotle and Five Guys. Not like the quality of the meat improved any, either.

I'm with ya on Five Guys being far superior, but there's unfortunately there's just nothing else quite like a Filet-o-Fish. I don't need one often, maybe 4 times a year, but when I gotta have it ....

i cant get on twitter why were people complaining about the ad?
Thing is, you won't find angry replies or anything, so it seems to be a situation of "wokes are losing their minds, huh, proof? don't need it, I just know they do" So in this regard, it's a low thing to say.(I mean I don't like a lot of the lgbtq things but when there doesn't seem to be problem then I don't have one with them)

Here in europe, spain specifically we don't have chipotle or Five guys so it's mostly burger king, mcdonalds, domino's pizza, kfc and...I don't know how many more there are. We havo taco bell but the sizes are small and expensive.
I guess people don't really go to mcdonalds for the food but for the feel, most of us went there when we were little with our family, now that my family is scattered, I sometimes go there to reminisce, and also get something to eat

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
