I thought the punchline was going to be something like "My wife said she saw a fox on the way to work. I had to to explain to her what a mirror was. Such a ditzy blonde!"
"My Weird Brain" sounds like an 80s sitcom about a brain in a jar that can still somehow talk to people. And the backstory would be something like "One night, a lonely teenager tried ending his life by driving off a cliff. His body was unsalvagable, but his brain is preserved! Now he lives in a jar in the kitchen of government scientists kept secret from the public."
"My Weird Brain is filmed by a live studio audiance"
...........then I see it as lose/lose.
At this point, Zelenskyy is just fucking with trump, and he knows it, and trump knows he knows it, and Zelenskyy knows that trump knows it. But what other card does Zelenskyy have to play at this point?
Honestly he should just make his requests more mundane to the point of sounding like a mother lecturing her child.
Zelenskyy urges trump to wear a winter coat. It's cold out there, baby!
And that way, trump can't try to pass it off as Zelenskyy being a tyrant, or a dictator. Or any of the other bullshit he'd do.
Zelenskyy urges trump to check his fly. Ha-ha, made you look!
There's no such thing as coming to trump as a rrspectable man and be treated as a respectable man. That's not how trump works. The way trump thinks is that everybody bows down to him, and those that don't kiss the ring are doomed to face the wrath.
Whereas Zelenskyy is a respectable man, and is trying to act as such. But having a backbone clashes with trumps agenda.
Really Nintendo? San Fransisco? The first one is in NYC, one the cultural hubs of the world.
Then you want to open a west coast location, which makes sense. Naturally, I think "it's going to be or around L.A."
L.A. being the opposite end cultural hub. Whereas NYC is all about embracing the gritty aspects of life, and celebrating old archetecture. Where all races and creeds come together to equally smell rat piss in the subway, L.A. takes things in a very different approach. It celebrates the shiney new fake plastic personalities. Ditzy airheads and extravagant prices. Which makes sense that Hollywood is right there.
Or, if that fell through, I wouldn't have been surprised if you chose Seattle, given that your north american HQ is there. That would also make sense.
But San Fransisco??? Why? Mario loves pasta, not rice! It makes no sense. May as well have put the damn thing in CLEVELAND at that point!
Ya know what? Fuck it. If we're just doing things willy-nilly like that, lets go there. Lets put a Nintendo store in downtown Cleveland! We could even put Drew Carry in a fat suit, and dress him up like Mario for the grand opening.
What? You think I'm just saying these things because I live in Cleveland and want a nearby Nintendo store? Psshhh! No! Stupid! That's not it at all! Idiot!
................dammit. They figured me out.
If they're talking about Whole Foods, it's because you walk in there, and you're like "ok, let me get some chicken, let me get some porkchops, and let me get some cereal."
The prices on all that shit is INSANE. I saw a 5 pack of pork chops for $19. Then I walked over to the chicken. $22. Then I walked over to the cereal. $8.
Total money I spent that day: $0.
Total times I've been back since: 0.
These companies have lost sight long ago on the fact that you can do all the bullshit in the world to improve behind the scenes processes, but if people walk in and see THOSE prices, when aldis sells the same chicken for $8, porkchops for $6, and cereal for $3? Fuck it. I don't give a shit if your chickens are cruelty free grassfed. I'll kick a chicken and fart in their mouth right now if it means food is cheaper! People out here having to choose between food or rent. Yeah, the high price businesses will suffer. The cheap businesses will flourish.
In response to this idea of helping needy people, corporations in the USA just laughed and laughed.
I haven't been in a McDonalds in years, but I've never seen or heard of this in America.
Real life. He was mayor, like 10 years ago. This was an actual thing people were mad at him for.
And as many times as I reconfirm this was real, I still get vibes of this being Micheal Scott as mayor.
Then wait in line. I don't get what you're suggesting.
Here's what I don't understand.
McDonalds has an app. McDonalds also does mobile orders like ubereats. Why not use your own app to allow ordering from the app, so you can be 5 minutes away, order, and when you get there it's already paid for, you just pick it up.
It eliminates extra fees for customers willing to pick up their own food. It eliminates the line. It reduces the wrong orders (as most mistakes happen from the register worker not ringing it up right to begin with). And no AI needed.
Why is this so hard?
Oh don't worry. Nobody has any money to spend anyways. Have you SEEN rent prices? Hey, you wanna buy a liver?
No no no. That's not how being corrected on the internet works! You have to be wrong, AND be certain that you're right! THEN someone can come along and say "Actually...."
Could the admins of the instance not just ban them instancewide?
Just send the admins the screenshot, and that would do it, right?
I would make a joke like "Wow! I should use mass media to convince people to buy my shitty products, but convince them that they need it. Then overcharge!"
Except the basis of that joke being a joke would rely on the core concept NOT happening for real. Which it is. So that would just make me a part of the problem....
For a land the size of russia, 29 million seems really low.
Just for comparison, depending on the year Ohio has between 9-11 million people. Now look at Ohio's size, and now look at russia. Granted I know ohios number is total population, and the 29 mil is just healthy men aged 20-50, but still. Most people from europe don't comprehend the size of the usa. They think they'll land at disney in orlando, and then just drive to NYC is a couple hours. By that same token most americans don't comprehend the size of russia. It has something like 14 timezones. USA has 4, but you gotta remember one of those is just Hawaii. Now imagine 14. And you're telling me they only have 29 mil army ready men? Really feel like based on country size I would have expected 200mil. India is like the size of texas (which to be fair is huge on its own), but they have 2 BILLION people. There is no such thing as privacy there. Everybody watches you poop.
What would happen if Punxsutawney Phil comes out, and immediately dies?
I declare this community the official community for all things Cleveland. Based on my official power of.....nothing really, but THIS IS THE OFFICIAL CLEVELAND COMMUNITY, OK???
Mick Foleys entire wrestling career is just a story of a man with mental health issues who's progressive losing more and more of his mental faculties as he gets hit in the head more and more.
If a play is defined as a performance told by a set of actors, engaging in a story as written for the capturement of emotion...then The Harlem Globetrotters is a play.
