The people hating this ad, and the people loving this ad, are doing exactly what McDonald's wanted. People are making a big fuss about a fast food chain's ad.


Also, back in 2014 or 2015, McDonald's used to give a 1 dollar Big Mac or Double Cheese burger to new customers who downloaded their app and made an account. I of course abused this sale for a few months, by making new emails every day. It got to the point where I felt ill looking at the McDonald's logo. But I was broke as fuck. I still feel ill seeing their icon.

I don't really get the issue. Here in the UK Mcdonalds being "A lovely thing to do with your family" has been running theme throughout their advertising for years.

I swear the older I get the dumber the shit people argue about online gets.
Sometimes it feels like it's just arguing for the sake of arguing, people are too bored nowadays

Yes, they are. Why do you think they do virtue signaling crap like pretending to care about human rights when they use literal slaves to make their products and giving you lecturings about enviroment when same corporations pollute the environment the most?

Stupid people were always a thing but when the internet became more mainstream to normies from early 2010s and after thanks to smartphones and social media these stupid people became even more stupider. Like with all these schizos that lost their shit over a harmless Japanese McDonald's ad. How do you explain this phenomenon?

In the past if you made a fuss over an anime drawing, everyone would laugh at you. But now it's suddenly the norm to treat anime drawings like CP.

stupid people became even more stupider.

I assuming thy the creation of TikTok, Snapchat, and other "Shorts" related apps started to to make people much more unintelligent? I was born when it was vaguely like that. Nobody was really using the shorts type of stuff until early high school, BUT people were definitely using Snapchat around 5th and 6th grade.

Even before TikTok people already got stupider, especially thanks to tumblr, twitter, reddit etc.

Also for some reason even middle age and old people are into TikTok. I opened an account for the heck of it because some good humoristic and lewd videos were from TikTok but I deleted my account 5-10 minutes after opening it because of the cringe fest and the annoying interface/format.

I see.... Twitter is just a mess at this point especially ever since Elon changed its branding. Tumblr, j don't even like them anymore because they used to be smart taking the NSFW off of the platform but assuming because of Twitters downfall in an attempt to lure people back into using it they brought it back? I personally am a guy that hates lewd content, so in my eyes, I personally find both apps to just be corrupted, and so as Reddit. I've learned from some people that 69 and most other memes came from that site and it just gives me more of a reason to never make an account on there.

I thought only teenagers used this platform. Guess that everyone doesn't understands how bad this platform can actually be.

    @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".

    @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

  • 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."

    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.

  • 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
