Yeah I’d fire that employee. Sure maybe it was a mistake but I most certainly haven’t mistaken a normal customer for a regular, especially not one who I know the usual order of
-
@Toxia, On the one hand, that’s funny AF and I applaud such savagery. On the other, Wendy’s just can’t afford to be alienating any fat people...
-
@A Deformed Penis, one could argue that they set a president with how their social media account acts.
-
@A Deformed Penis, oh there’s plenty more whales in the sea
-
@Toxia, I don't think it was a mistake, dawg, I think he just wanted a sick burn
-
@ThePandaPool , bone apple tea. Sorry, you're looking for "precedent"
-
@jcmatanui204, lol, yeah if it was deliberate then my boss definitely would have fired that employee
-
But he wasn’t wrong....
-
@megamanx181x, it was actually three of everything, he should know his regulars better
-
@Natural Sarcasm , hahahaha
-
Completley off topic here, but I was wondering how many people on here grew up watching Bill Nye and if so what your thoughts on him are nowadays.
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, still love him.
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, over all I like him though it seems like he’s a little too comfortable letting politics into science on certain topics
-
@Natural Sarcasm , That's fair, I get what you mean
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, Kind of a dick nowadays. He brings people with contrary views on his panel of experts so he can berate them and not even let them get a word in edge wise
-
@GayShjtSniper, oh dang. Do you have any recent examples? I'm curious now
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, I never liked his show and I never thought he was anything impressive. I mean the dude has a 4 year degree in mechanical engineering but tried to be a comedian. The only good thing I can personally say about him is that he got more people in the field of science.
-
@lilwhiteboyz, I love science, so much so I taught myself more online than my highschool ever taught me but his show was just too "wacky" or childish.
-
@lilwhiteboyz, yeah, I think their main demographic were younger kids like in elementary school, which is where I was introduced to him in my science class. He really helps boiled down what could have been fairly complex ideas for a kid into really simple demonstrations and skits. Personally I found him to be pretty funny at the time, but I understand that different people have different senses of humor. At any rate, I appreciate your honest opinion!
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, I Loved Bill Nye growing up He's the reason I became an engineer I've seen him in person twice now and I can safely say he's actually kind of a dick in real life. best example I can think of was he was doing a speaking engagement at my college where they let people from all over town in and this little girl pitched a silly idea for him to use scuba divers to clean the trash out of the ocean. Of course she was like nine so it wasn't really that great of an idea but we all expected him to encourage her to keep her creative process going and keep researching how to make the world a better place. But, instead he pretty much just said"that's a dumb idea" and then moved on to the next question. Honestly I think he's a little salty that his scientific career never went further than his show and so that's why he is the way he is now, it's unfortunate but he did inspire a whole new generation of scientists and engineers at least
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, I feel like I should clarify my statement saying he called that girls idea "dumb" What he actually said in a very condescending tone was more along the lines of "that's an unfeasible idea and there is no way that would be cost effective or work" or something like that
-
@Frodrevo, Yea, I can see that being the reason why. I get the feeling he's not the type to sugarcoat things, especially when he feels he knows what he's talking about. One of those "facts don't care" types.
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, yeah even as a wee lad I felt that way
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, I loved watching him when I was younger, but it turns out he’s a total brainlet and an ass. Don’t care for him anymore.
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, the biggest problem is his inability to distinguish fact from opinion. The dude is a shining beacon of conformation bias.
-
@Hot Coffee, Ooh, do you have any examples you can think of? I'm a little out of touch with what he's been up to nowadays
-
@Natural Sarcasm , when the planet is dying and the President/Vice President thought climate change was a hoax you’re kinda forced to bring politics into it before we do even more irreversible damage
-
@PatroniumXC, I wasn’t talking about climate change but even still it isn’t difficult to discuss the science behind climate change without getting into politics.
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, I was surprised to discover he’s just an entertainer with a baccalaureate in engineering. It’s funny, the perception you have of people based off a persona they play on T.V.
-
@Who Nose, Or any medium for that matter. It's so easy to just assume the person you see on camera or hear in audio is the same when it's off.
-
@Natural Sarcasm , I was just bringing up that for climate change if we want to save the planet we need leaders who want to put forth policies that will reduce emissions/switch to renewable energy, and since he has a platform that gives him a large voice he pushes people to vote for these leaders
-
@PatroniumXC, yeah, and while I agree we should have policies to help keep the environment clean I also think there’s a time and place to discuss politics. He’s a scientist and climate change isn’t even in his field nor is he a politician. If he wants to use his platform to showcase ideas and solutions to our problems while bringing a better awareness to these problems that’s fine, more than fine that’s perfect. Just keep politics out of it. Most politicians have an alternate agenda and hide behind “going green” as a talking point knowing they’ll never deliver on these promises. Which is why I think the scientists should just stick to the science of the issue
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, not off the top of my head, and it’s been years since I’ve bothered paying any attention to him. The most obvious fact/opinion conflation revolved around climate change, if you want examples I would start there. Sorry I’m not giving specific examples, but I can’t be bothered to hunt any down.
-
@Natural Sarcasm , *cough cough* AOC *cough cough*
-
@PatroniumXC, well, first off, the planet isn’t dying. The climate appears to be changing, but it’s always changing. A lot of the data has been poorly reported and has truly handicapped meaningful discussions about how humans are impacting the environment. A great example of this is the yearly burning of farmland in Brazil and Argentina, big news last year, but it was an average to slightly below average burn year, but people lost their minds over it. I could go on, but I’d rather sleep. All I can say is anything you hear on CNN or the Discovery channel, take it with a large salt block. And it would behoove you to look up how science is funded in the USA and around the world.
-
@Hot Coffee, you lost your credibility at “the planet isn’t dying.” The amount we warmed the planet since the industrial revolution is much faster than the “natural” temperature change cycle throughout earth’s history. The last few ice ages have only had an average global temperature of 2-5 degrees colder than it is now, and we’ve gone up over 1 degree in less than 200 years. Even if we go down to net 0 carbon emissions by 2050 were already guaranteed to lose ~75% of all coral reefs, which are depended upon by 25% of all marine life. It’s estimated that if we continue to emit at our current rate, we could lose 30-50% of all animal and plant species within the century. Humans are responsible for unprecedented change to the planet based on fossil records and could end up wiping out more species than the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago
-
@PatroniumXC, oh dear, you dun drunk da kool aid. 30% - 50% loss of species! Score! So you’re telling me that 50% - 70% of species will survive if nothing changes. That’s not so bad. Way better than an mass extinction level event. You’re right about needing to produce the majority of electricity from nuclear power. It’s weird how much “environmentalist” seem to love coal generated power plants. You’d think they, of all people, would be on board with nuclear energy. Stupid is as stupid does, amirite? When are we getting the rise in sea levels again? I am looking for some future beach front property.
-
@Hot Coffee, ahh you’re trolling I see. I’m sad I fell for it on the first comment. My fault for looking for a scientific debate in a meme app. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
-
So did they order two of everything or not?
-
@Nurse Joy, well, they didn’t deny he was correct and they did imply that lunch was purchased, so...
-
And a Diet Coke
-
This is fkn horrible! He didnt even offer anything from the secret menu to add to everything else
-
Way to upsell Richard
-
Doesn't she normally have 3 of everything?
-
@spongeblade, Depends - is there a salad on the Wendy’s menu? If so, no, she skips that (or possibly buys it just to get ranch dressing to pour on her fries).
-
She doesn't want her lunch because she had 2 breakfasts
-
@dj evolve fan club, what about elevensies?
-
Do some squats too ya fat cow.
-
@TheRealDrummerBoyASD, ummm actually I just watched the Funke Study on Bill's new show video on youtube. Honestly I should have fact checked it, but I saw the show once myself and it just felt really awkward
-
Sounds like he helped her start a diet
Bet she will still have dinner though
