Could be the agreement stated the painters weren’t responsible for masking anything not to be painted

The landlord wouldn’t have done that because they know it’ll have to be replaced. That’s a low skilled idiot’s work, the same thing happens to me at work. It is possible that the agreement between the landlord and the painters stated they weren’t responsible for masking anything that wasn’t to be painted

Yes they did get criticism for it but I can’t say if the change came about because of it. I did read that they got rid of Ronald during that short time that there were news reports of people dressing up as clowns and freaking people out.

Yeah you’re right about the colors of things. In the 90’s there was a big deal made about cars painted green again

Like a lot of things I’ll bet it was an insurance liability plus a lot of labor to keep it clean and safe. McDonald’s is struggling to survive in a business where new=exciting and what your parents grew up with=lame. Burger Kings are closing left and right where I live. They’ve done nothing to adapt.

Funny thing about that conference room. I have an uncle who has quite a bit of money. He eats off of the McDonald’s dollar menu (or at least he did when it was still a thing). He’ll take us somewhere nice when visiting, he’s quite generous but he always makes a point to mention he eats at McDonald’s. He gives financial advice, i can see him holding meetings there

They’re marketing towards adults now

McDonald’s is now trying to appeal to adults and the building reflects that. They did away with Ronald and all the characters long ago. No more indoor playgrounds. No more cartoon movie toys. I think they still have happy meals but we’re better known for their dollar menu now called a McValue menu

Yeah that’s probably why the GOP ran non stop ads about transvestites playing in school sports.

The Democratic Party got wallopped in the last election because they stood up for marginalized. They got trounced in 2010 because they fought to provide access to healthcare to those who couldn’t get it. Biden tried to forgive student loans and young people couldn’t bother to show up to the pols in 2022. Lazy edge lord potheads don’t show up to vote

“Our”

The Roman numeral M=1,000. Greek kilo (K)=1,000. The only plausible explanation is the local sewer district is run by Romans.

When he runs out, just grab the bottle out of the trash and fill it with soap and hand it back to him. You’re welcome

I don’t think this is earth shattering news. These companies identify when the audience is barely paying attention (to content and ads) and spits out the cheap stuff. I watch fly fishing and fly tying videos on YouTube and often fall asleep with it on. Then I wake up to the third hour of a professional bass fishing tournament. It happens a lot

Consolation prize: the Gene Wilder documentary on Netflix is pretty good if you haven’t already seen it

If you are still on X yet couldn’t bring yourself to vote for Kamala because of Palestine then WTF?

This just made my day

GOP runs adds attacking moderate Democrats as far left liberals and beats them in every swing state. What the hell do people think would happen to an actual far left liberal?

No candy for you!

Maybe meet them half way and sit on the porch and hand out candy? I used to go to my parent’s house to help them hand out candy and I noticed it took a bit of effort for the smaller kids climb the stairs. There’s no railing and knowing how dangerously slick their steps got if they were damp, i started sitting at the bottom to hand out candy.

It seems trick or treating isn’t as popular with the kids as it used to be. Ironically, it seems more popular than ever with adults. Some houses I’ve seen look like they must rent a storage unit to keep all the decorations they put up. We used to fill a set of dad’s old clothes with leaves, splap a plastic punkin on top for a head and call it a day

How did the Taliban get their hands on helicopters? I thought the US limited what armaments they gave the Afghan military to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands
