I have a problem. I’m kind of addicted to Wendy’s Jr cheeseburgers. I get one almost once a week because I’m a fat kid with no self control. Yesterday I was seriously craving a Coke, and decided to change things up a bit. Instead of the usual 2 x Jr Cheeseburgers, I got a “Combo 1 : Regular cheeseburgers w/fries & a drink”.

So, I pull up to the drive thru and it goes like this…
“Can I get a #1 with a Coke please”
“Medium, or a large?”
“What does it come with”
“Small”
“Well, that’s what I want then”

As I pull up to the window a new conversation happens…
“Hi, so, I ordered a #1 with a coke, then you asked if that would be a medium or large, you never gave me the option for small, nor told me that’s what it comes with. Why?”
“Did you want a medium or large”
“No, I wanted what I ordered, a #1 with a coke”
“Yes, but do you want a medium or large combo”
“I want what it comes with. Exactly what I ordered”
“You can make it a medium or large”
“Why are you being deceptive?”
“I’m not”
“You are. You insinuated that it’s a medium, and I can upside to a large. Either way, I’m paying more”
“If you wanted a large you could have upsized to it”
“I wanted what I ordered, why is this so difficult?”
“Then you want a medium?”
“I just wanted what it came with. I didn’t ask for more. I asked for the combo. I didn’t ask to make it larger”
“That’s why I offered you a medium or large”

Clearly this person has absolutely zero critical thinking skills, or is so brainwashed with her corporate upselling message she can’t understand why I’m even the slightest bit frustrated right now. If anything, she’s probably thinking I clearly don’t understand.

I drive away thinking “This is where we’re at. Where I’m the asshole for asking for what I want, and getting frustrated when I don’t automatically allow myself to get upsold by default”. It’s just extract more and more money however possible, and should I say a damn thing about it, I’m the problem. How the fuck did the consumer become the asshole here?

And then I open the bag.

Paper fucking straw. Great. I can’t wait to suck up little bits of paper pulp with my Coke. But, I’m saving the environment, so I guess I need to make some sacrifices to keep this world beautiful for the next generation. I remove the additional paper on my straw and go to slide it into my cup, which is made of plastic, with a plastic lid.

Wait a second. Wendy’s used to use paper cups. For decades, those yellow paper cups. Now they’re clear plastic cups, with lids that are thicker plastic than they used to be. They’re not bio-degradable. In fact, there’s considerably more plastic in this cup & straw now than there was with a plastic straw and a paper cup. What the fuck is going on here.

Then I thought about something else. Taylor Swift, everyone’s princess and golden girl who can do no wrong in this world. She’s an inspiration to girls everywhere. So inspiring that she takes a private jet almost everywhere she travels. In fact, she takes approximately 170 private flights a year, and those flights average 80 minutes in length. Based on the environmental impact of jet fuel being burned at an average cruising altitude, she’s burning approximately the equivalent of 34,000,000 plastic straws per flight. That seems like a lot. I wonder how long it would take me to use up 34 million plastic straws.

93,150 years. 93 thousand fucking years of using a plastic straw every single day. That’s what she’s burning each time her little entitled ass steps on a private jet.

Yup. I’m the asshole. I’m sorry. I ruined the environment. It’s all my fault, and definitely all other consumers. It’s absolutely not the irresponsible corporations and manufacturing. It’s definitely not entitled celebrities and billionaires spewing whatever toxic sludge they want into the air and waterways.

I’m sorry everyone. I shouldn’t have ordered that cheeseburger combo.

What a piece of shit that guy was. Throw some woman on national TV, with 2 different dudes, then have them fight and battle over who the father is? Only for them to reveal neither of them is the father? All the while, this toddler, or infant’s face is plastered on the television from coast to coast.

Good times.

Imagine you’re 30 years old. Life is just rolling along until one day your buddy sends you this short video he thinks is hilarious. “OMG, WTF. RYDER, YOU GOTTA SEE THIS”. It’s some talk show from 30 years ago. You’re start watching and it’s these two redneck looking dudes just having a swear fest at one another. Two skinny ass white boys who are wearing a button up shirt and tie for the first time in their lives. And, that woman’s name is the same name as your mom. Whatever. Then they show this baby, and it kind of looks like you when you were a kid. And the kid’s name is the same as yours. And you realize you never really knew who your father was.

Then you realize that as a fucking infant you were put on national TV along with your mother, exploited, for shock ratings. And that’s when you find out your mom was banging 3 dudes at the same time and she had no idea which one of those creampies turned out to be you.

And that’s also when you find out your mom’s friend Steve who shows up every now and again for the past 20 years was one of those dudes.

Good times.

Name one of the most famous chefs in the world. One of the most popular answers will be Ramsey. I have never tasted one of his dishes, but frankly I couldn’t give a shit about that. Why do we know him? Is he famous because he’s changed the culinary world? No. He hasn’t.

He’s famous because he screamed, yelled, abused, and belittled people on television. That’s it. That’s all.

You’re celebrating a man who abuses people for ratings, and you eat that shit up like it’s some sort of a good time.

“Oh, he’s only playing it up for TV”. Maybe, but he’s got a choice to do that. He doesn’t need to. But it’s his brand. His brand is abusing people. Screaming at people until they cry. Telling people they’re worthless.

Gordan Ramsey is a piece of shit.

This. This is exactly the type of shit that re-enforces the idea that society is a fucking disaster. This person thinks they’re being helpful, and they’re going to get support. Oh woe is me, I had to look at some mail on the ground in a park, right beside a trash can.

Jenni C Yyz couldn’t take 3 seconds to think “Oh hey, who leaves a shitload of mail on the ground”, and didn’t bother to consider “Probably stolen and when the thief didn’t find anything useful to them they threw this shit on the ground and walked away”. They couldn’t even pick up the mail and put it in the trash, let alone pick up the mail and walk it the LITERAL half block to where it was likely stolen from. No. Instead, they pulled out their best friend, the cellphone, took a photo, then opened Facebook, searched for this group, then posted it.

What really tops off this fucking useless bitch is the comments. Sarah Townson uses her brain and even the smallest shred of empathy for others, takes 20 minutes out of her day, collects the mail, and takes it back to where it was stolen from – noting that there were what looked like important documents in there. But Jenni had to continue her holier than thou attitude, then basically shaming Sarah and ensuring that she cleaned up the entire park “oh, but did you get it all”?

Fuck Jenni C Yyz. What a fucking cunt.

Remember how 9/11 happened and everyone was “never forget”? Well, really, how much do you remember? Do you even care anymore? The reality is, no, you don’t. There’s barely even a thought outside of “oh shit, it’s Sept 11th? Shit, that means winter is coming soon, better get out the hoodies and long pants”.

In the same way that Remembrance Day is basically not even a thing anymore. In America alone there were nearly 17 million people who served, and there’s about 40,000 still alive. That number is expected to be under 1000 in a few years. But, I’m in Canada, so let’s talk about that. There were about 1.1 million who served in World War II, which was about 10% of the Canadian population at the time. Of that, about 45,000 of them died while serving. There’s about 3600 of them left, give or take 3000 men, and 600 women, which is less than 0.3%. The average age of these veterans is 100 years old. They are dying at a rate of a few hundred a month, leaving us with no remaining WWII vets real damn soon. What is rememberence day outside of “oh, there’s sometimes a moment of silence”. In school, we used to go to the gym for an assembly and we’d listen to Flander’s Field, and there’d be a trumpet. That doesn’t happen anymore – we’re too focused on “Gotta learn as much as we can! No time for assemblies!”. We’ve basically forgotten about World War II which was 80 years ago. And, we’ve largely forgotten about 9/11 which was only 25 years ago.

Remember when the Panama Papers were published and we learned all these Millionaires and Billionaires were dodging trillions in taxes by moving their money overseas? Remember when a ton of them were convicted and jailed over these fucking ridiculous financial crimes? Me either – that’s because it never happened.

Remember when the 2008 housing market crash happened because of a fuckload of super corrupt bankers and stock market pricks? Then, remember when a bunch of them went to jail for their crimes? Ya, me either because that also didn’t happen – instead, we blamed it all on Teachers, Nurses, and Immigrants.

Remember when the Epstein files dropped a while back and everyone was up in arms? Remember when a bunch of people went to jail for it? Ya – me either, because none of that is happening either. Rapist pedophile Prince Andrew is basically a free man, but has been “shunned” from the Royal Family – but let’s be honest, that’s just for optics. They fucking murdered Princess Diana, so why not just sweep some child raping under the couch too.

Trump? Naw, he’s going to die a free man, and a billionaire – all from ill gotten gains and a fucking boatload of financial crimes that is the makings of a Bernie Madoff wet dream. Gizz shot Maxwell is in a country club, and there’s hundreds, possibly thousands of women who have been sexually abused by these fucking monsters all having to live their lives with no justice. What about all the money Epstein had? Where’s all that? No restitution paid to the survivors. What about the teenage girls who were murdered by these fucks? Nothing. What about the teenage girls who were forced into abortions, or had their newborn babies murdered? Yup. Nothing. What about the report that Trump was on a boat when their drown a newborn baby from one of the teenage girls who was repeatedly raped? Yup, nothing again.

We’re going to forget the Epstein files just like we forgot the housing crash, just like we forgot the Panama Papers, just like we forget Iran Contra, just like we forgot Iraq, just like we forgot 9/11, just like we forgot MK Ultra, just like we forgot residential schools, just like we forgot how the Catholic Church is basically a pedophile ring, just like we forgot Vietnam, just like we forgot the insane injustices forced upon the natives in both Canada and the USA, just like we forgot how many of our grandparents and great grandparents fought the Nazis to protect the world from fascism, and are now cheering it on like it’s some sort of new TikTok trend.

We’re going to forget, because we’re fucking idiots.

Let’s defund education some more. That’ll fix this.
