lol Americans

They're owned by McDonald's, what do you expect?

>>5080950

proof?

>>5080923

Quit your bitching. After everything it's usually $12

>>5080923
HAHAHAHAHAHA CHIPOLE THREAD TOP KEK OH PEE SO GOOD BOARD MEME 10/10 I HERD YOU LIKE MILHOUSE AS A MAY MAY GRATE TROEL!!!!!

That's bigger than a baseball.

>>5080987
OP is just rehashing a beat-to-death EPAC TROEL THRAD LOL.

You don't think she's actually the kind of person that has ever played a sport, do you?

CHEE-POLE-TAY!

>>5080999

>>5081021
Don't send him back to us!

He's harmless here. He might actually do some damage over on /k/

>>5080969
He's wrong, they used to be owned by Mcdonalds a long time ago, but now have no affiliation.

Still overpriced and subpar compared to other burrito places, but that's neither here nor there

local burrito establishments > freebirds >>>> chipotle

+2 OP went there 1st in last time week ago they Stink.

>>5083273
Fuck you, you already posted about them before christmas you attention seeking lardass with a sorry fatwobbling retardo excuse of a wifewhale.

>>5080923

I agree with you about the douchebag teenagers... Im 28 and I couldnt believe how shitty these kids are becoming. I fear for the future.

I'd say it's at least the size of a softball

>>5080923

My wife and I went to Chipotle about five years ago. Never returned. Total shit-tier food.

And, yeah, fuck teenagers.

>>5080923
>its the size of a fucking baseball
Pretty sure you weren't at chipotle then

>>5080923
>can go to my local spic joint and for $5 the burrito
Yeah, if you live in a shitty impoverished border region

More like the size of 2 baseballs. Are you just confused or intentionally being disingenuous?

>>5083196
>last time i went shit was like 8 or 9 bucks.
Pretty sure they are $6.35 for the good ones, less for the shittier meats

>>5083334
This.
I'd eat every meal of my life at chipotle if it meant I didn't have to live around wetbacks

How do you pronounce Chipotle? I've heard all kinds of versions.

>>5083345
like its spelled

>>5083345
Chip oat lay

>>5080923
Are you so poor you couldn't afford guacamole?

>>5083345
it's Chipple-Top-Lay

>>5083353
Buying the gucamole is a poor choice regardless of your income. The burrito tastes better without it

>>5083353
OP is obviously a manchild who got only meat, beans, and cheese.

Chee-Poll-tee

>>5083358
beans should always be replaced with onions

>>5083362
>replacing beans
Yea, no.

>>5083363
beans are only useful if you are incredibly poor and need the sustenance

>>5083364
beans are delicious and healthy
they add an element of juiciness and starch

>>5083356
>>5083362

>>5083371
The main problem with beans is the disgusting texture

>>5083371

Chipotle was never owned by McDonald's. Just sayin.

They were an investor until 2006 and that's their only affiliation.

Chipoodle.

SOYLENT CHIPOTLE IS MADE OF POODLES!!!

What a baseball and a piece of silverware actually look like next to each other

>>5085088

The point still stands Chipotle shill, they're the McDonald's of Mexican food.

>>5083199
what if someone gives him a clip?

What the fuck. Chipotle must really have hired someone to post a thread about them daily here

>>5085760
Then what does that make Taco Bell?

>>5085791

>>5083358
actually it was steak, white rice, beans, lettuce, corn salsa, cheese and sour cream


I was going to "inb4" but I didn't think I needed to because a burrito that small is unjust no matter what I got in it.

>>5086838

Good marketing to idiot 20 somethings

>>5086844
yeeeeeeaaaaaaah....... I'd rather eat real food and not lab food

http://www.takepart.com/article/2013/10/18/chipotle-phase-out-gmos-and-raise-prices-2014

>Chipotle CEO Steve Ells said in a company conference call yesterday that the chain will phase out genetically modified ingredients in 2014.

>That change, however, will likely come at a cost. Ells also announced that Chipotle may increase prices next year.

>while the tortillas and cooking oils will be GMO-free sometime in 2014, the chain won’t be able to eliminate all genetically engineered ingredients from its restaurants.

>“Right now there is really no way to find adequate supply of animals that have not eaten any crops containing GMO ingredients,” Ells says about non-GMO meats, which Chipotle will not be purchasing. Similarly, high-fructose corn syrup-sweetened sodas will continue to contain GMOs.

Obviously not getting rid of GMO's (because it's logistically impossible right now), but they are trying to do something. Don't care either way its all bullshit

>>5086858
they are just playing to the fears of uneducated people. Good decision on their oart

>>5086851
>2014
>people still think GMO's are in anyway harmful

god I fucking hate ignorant liberal fags

>>5086851
>I'd rather eat real food and not lab food
Are you actually retarded?

>>5086851
you realize they still have gmo's in almost all of their food items right

>>5086864
that's because Steve Ells is a fucking moron
>change comes at a cost
obviously but they will still make millions in profit each year, sorry if that's not good enough for Goldman Sachs
>won't be able to eliminate all genetically engineered ing.
we can never have real corn again but all the other shit we can
>no way to find adequate supply of animals that have not eaten GMO crops
Buy some damn cows and pigs from France and START breeding them and feeding them right.

Also, I never said they already phased out all GMOs

>>5086874

Yeah, where the real Nikes are GMO

>>5086878
nope

>>5086874
>obviously but they will still make millions in profit each year, sorry if that's not good enough for Goldman Sachs
Jesus christ, liberals are fucking dumb

I seriously hope your post is meant to lampoon liberals and not serious

>>5086883
I'm no liberal, fuck labels

FACT: GMOs started making the rounds in the 50s, obesity since then has skyrocketed along with thousands of diseases we'd never seen before

>>5086874
>I never said they already phased out all GMOs
>>5086838
>they are one of the first restaurants to phase out GMO food
it was heavily implied. Also, they haven't even phased out any of it yet. Also other restaurants have phased it out, you meant they are one of the first fast food chain restaurants to do it. Also, you're fucking retarded

>>5086884

>>5086843

The reason I didn't think this is thread was originally marketing is because of the pic. The other chipotle threads have something of theirs in the shot. The only way you would know it here is OP saying it.

And I believe that the threads of people saying "chipotle is the greatest thing ever" has to be some sort of marketing campaign. There is no way they would pop up with such a high frequency. There is almost always one on the first page.

>>5086884
You may not label yourself as a liberal. But you certainly have the emotion over logic attitude of one

>>5086874
Oh yeah, that's why you're the leader of a multi million dollar company and he's the one spewing bullshit on 4chan. He should really look into all your top notch ideas

>>5086884
You're right, its definitely GMO's fault people got fat. It couldn't be:
>more processed food than ever before
>more sugary drinks consumed than ever before
>everyone lives a much more sedentary lifestyle than ever before
>blue collar labor is at its lowest levels in human history

I think it has less to do with GMO's and more to do with the fact that everyone sits on their ass at work and at home, watches tv, and drinks soda all day.

>>5086887
Are you new here? The chipotle thing is just a running joke. Its pretty ridiculous to actually think it is marketing

>>5086898

Says the person afraid of any new technology that would rather live the fearful life of a luddite

>>5086893

There are some faggots that actually believe that. Just like this liberal faggot posting in here that thinks that GMO's are scary evil things

>>5086900
I'll be laughing when I live to the age of at least 96 when you're dead at 40 though so w/e.

>>5086907
Yeah, because people lived so long in the 1800s before the advent of GMO foods

>>5086901
hahahahaha, you ignorant 2IQ cunt.

>continues to berate others and act like a child

*cue jeff foxworth*
You might be a liberal if...

You respond to any criticisms with emotion-filled replies that are devoid of any actual counterpoint

>>5086884
I'm starting to think you don't even know what GMO's are...I never heard anyone blaming obesity on GMO's for reasons that its such a utterly stupid conclusion to draw where there are many more logical reasons for the obesity trend

it's more just paranoid hippies thinking that changing the chemical makeup of food somehow will end up killing us all even though as you said, we've been using them for decades and scientists have yet to find evidence of it causing any harm

>>5086910
Ok honest question:

You're Australian, aren't you?

>>5086908
there was a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY bigger portion of people living over 100
>>5086911
>>5086912

your idiocracy is kind of cute, like a baby monkey trying to drink from a bottle while falling asleep

>>5086898
can you please show me some empirical evidence that shows directly where GMO's are harmful...I took a class on the subject last summer, and yes I know classes can be filled with bias but I did intensive research on the subject and found no definitive proof of anything

>>5086914
>there was a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY bigger portion of people living over 100
sure there was

>>5086913
nope but if you guys want to be less healthy than you should be, that's fine, I'll do me and you faggots can do you, stop bitching and complaining. You see the acronym GMO and go into a fucking frenzy because you think you know shit but all you've done is watched FOX and CNN

>>5086918
woah, 1 semester worth of research? sweet. I guess when I make more money I can put on a $20k study about them with people from both sides of the argument

>>5086886
I, wait, what?

>>5086914
you keep saying things but I see no signs of a logical rebuttal that makes me think you are in any way educated on the matter and have just been so persuaded by liberal propaganda that you will never be convinced by any sort of hard evidence, or lack of hard evidence I should say, that arguing you would be a complete waste of time

>>5086925
he's done more than you have faggot

looking up articles on naturalnews and motherearth doesn't count

>>5080923
The Chipotle in your area must be shit, the one in my town sells fat ass burritos.

>>5086925
Not only is there no evidence that GMOs are bad for human health, possibly more importantly there isn't even a plausible theory that explains why they would possibly be bad for us

>>5080923

This is what Facebook is for.

>inb4 lolololol i trololol'd you all

>>5086932
I'm not seeing anything from your side either, I started with " they are phasing out GMOs"
and immediately you guys started with personal attacks. Seems like you're all uneducated hillbillies when you do that

>>5086940
because anyone who considers phasing out GMOs a good thing is clearly an uneducated child deserving of our derision

>>5086925
its still probably more than you know

Literally the only people I know who still are scared of GMO's are hippie tumblr bitches who have no identity and just go around protesting whatever the new cool thing to complain about is

>>5086943
I'll always be against unnatural things being FORCED upon the masses without ANY research whatsoever
inb4 durrs tons of stoodies
There were absolutely zero when GMOs rolled out

>>5086935
wait a sec anon

now just wait a sec

I saw a picture someone posted once of a two pieces of corn, and the non-gmo one was more eaten than the other! That CLEARLY means GMO's are BAD 4 U

>>5086935
this is correct

Why would it even be bad...its not like we are taking genes from some unknown substance and mixing it with another without knowing what the fucks going on...scientists know what they are doing...the only argument that one could have is scientists secretly are trying to poison us because of the government or something and thats akin to something someone with paranoid schizophrenia would think

>>5086940
>I started with " they are phasing out GMOs"
No you started with, "they phased out GMO's"
which we proved was inaccurate. Then you proceeded to shitpost

>>5086951
Yeah, we should do 50 years of research on every new thing before anyone in the general public is allowed to benefit from them. New technology should be reserved for the well connected political class until such research has been completed

>>5086951
I don't think you understand how science work..every single thing they do is empirically tested in some way and retested again...they aren't going to just throw something together without a clue what they are doing and shove it in our faces...they have like the strictest code of ethics in the world...get educated my friend

>>5086957
if you want to get technical, I said, "they are one of the first to phase out gmos" I never said "phased" as in they already did all of it
>>5086962
please explain to me why GMOs have already been CONFIRMED to be the cause of new diseases and why the scientists handling the final product wont touch the shit but we are forced to eat it? Please, I'd like to know your side on both of those
Protip, you guys aren't winning this argument

>>5086967
cool, maybe they shouldve finished the testing before putting it in every food source.
Science doesn't work the way you think it does. Look at all the "scientists" making drugs that end up killing thousands of people
>inb4 "oh, thats just those few people taking it
the point is to heal ALL patients, not most

>>5086969
>GMOs have already been CONFIRMED to be the cause of new diseases and why the scientists handling the final product wont touch the shit but we are forced to eat it

>>5086969
>please explain to me why GMOs have already been CONFIRMED to be the cause of new diseases and why the scientists handling the final product wont touch the shit but we are forced to eat it
Do you actually think this is true or are you just straight up making things up?

If eating healthier foods and non-GMO foods made me live to be 300 years old, I'd be much more concerned about it.

Oh yeah, the democrat party's official mouthpiece. thats real reputable. i am sure they are a true authority on science, something no liberal actually understands

>>5086969
but we are already won...its fine if you don't want to eat GMO's but don't go around acting like you know all this shit about how bad they are when there is no proof of anything

but please if you have a source that says where it was confirmed to have caused a new disease please share

and fuck the other thing about scientists not touching GMO's, that sounds like made up Liberal "facts"

>>5086983
>ut when the fiber was broken down and its DNA extracted, it became apparent that it belonged to a fungus. The fibers were found to contain Agrobacterium: a genus gram-negative bacteria with the capacity to transform plant, animal, and even human cells.

They are all terrible people

>>5087036
Southerners. I'm picking them for worse by a long shot.

>>5087039
A lot of times I think that, especially on /sp/, but then I hear liberals saying how vaccines and GMO foods are killing us all and I have to reconsider. Southerners are fucking dumb, but at least when they act dumb they mostly only harm themselves and most of the shitty laws they inspire are pretty trivial

>>5087036
Liberals. Southerners generally just want to be left alone and live how they want to live.

Liberals want to control everything you do

>>5087039

>>5087057

Things southerners meddle in almost always just don't matter, so its hard to get upset about them. meanwhile liberals straight up deny science and try to prevent technological progress while messing up the economy

>>5087070
>life controlling hot button topic of recency has been born, and bred, in the south.
I really don't think that is true at all. unless you consider gay marriage to be one of the biggest issues facing humanity

>>5087082
The same can be said for conservatives too, though. Which essentially means that it's less about political philosophy, and more about geographic cultures. I'm not saying I don't like liberals, I don't honestly like either.

>>5087089
I'm actually refering more to the increased amount of pressure to restrict women's 'rights'. But the gay marriage debate has been shoved in everyone's face as of late, so yeah it could be seen as pretty important right now.

>>5087098
Northern irreligious conservatives are the real america

>>5087098
>increased amount of pressure to restrict women's 'rights'
While not something I consider good. Its hardly anything more than trivial.

>>5087098
>I'm actually refering more to the increased amount of pressure to restrict women's 'rights'

Which one, them not wanting women to get abortions and contraception's on our tax dollar or the anti-abortion thing as a whole? Because the latter is more of a religious issue, not a southern, and I know plenty of catholics up in the north that are pro-life

Chipotle is shit tier Mexican food just like Liberals are the shit tier political party.

>>5087105
I'm disinclined to agree that it's trivial, primarily because the greater a society suffers under economic and social disparity, the greater the pressure for members of that society to commit acts of random mass violence.
>>5087112
There's lots of folks all over who are pro-life, but the centers of those movements sit in the bible belt. I don't hate the south, I'm just more inclined to think that social and backwardness is a geographic and cultural problem that is only tenuously linked to economic philosophy. That's why there like a million different sub groups for both the 'liberals' and 'conservatives'

>Chipotle
When I can walk 2 blocks from work and see Chipotle and TacoDelMar across the street from each other (as well as a dozen other fastfood places, and several diners, teriyaki, pho, etc), I've tried just about all of them.
Burrito day? Paying about the same price and getting twice the size and quality from Tacodelmar. Chipotle once... okay. Chiptole twice... huh, why did I bother. Chipotle thrice... never again. But, burritos are actually far better at Carnaria casa bueno something.

>GMOs

we've been genetically modifying food since the beginning of agriculture

the corn we eat today was completely developed by humans and almost unrecogizible from the original plant

>>5083289

All millenials could be lined up and executed and the net effect on society would be literally zero.

>>5089925

yes they did, they just didn't know what the structure of DNA was like.

I think it's pretty good. Overpriced and no queso were deal breakers, though. Just so you all know burritos are American.

>>5091487
>bland as fuck

That's a term you would use to describe, say, a can of Amy's low-sodium soup, not a tortilla filled with meat marinated in an adobo sauce, cilantro-lime rice, pinto beans cooked with bacon, cheese, and whatever salsas. There's plenty of flavor there - perhaps it's just too complex for your tongue that's been ruined by the industrial food-science stuff used in Taco Bell's glop. I feel sorry for you. You should try foregoing fast food for a few months and then trying Chipotle anew. Your eyes will be opened. Until then, sir.

Going to hit up the barely-passes-health-code Mexican joint on the way home and pick up a bigass burrito plate for 7 bucks. 2 burritos the size of the OP, rice, beans. Grab some beers from the c-store next door and get real disgusting with the Hawks game. Today fucking rocks.

Now thats just wrong. Selective breeding is still one of the most dominant sources of crop. Need I remind you that the only thing done there is picking the one that worked better when it grew naturally.

More expensive than Chipotle, smaller portions. Have to pay extra for sour cream. Run by a bunch of tatted up hipster douches. I don't want some grungy hippie making my food. Fuck Freebirds.

Calling themselves "fast casual" is part of the reason I won't go to Chipotle. Eating fake Mexican is bad enough, but I can do without the side of marketing. It's an insult to the intelligence. Fast fucking casual? Not buying it. They may as well just put a big sign over the door that reads, "We're not Ghetto."

>>5092304
ha ha, I see "street food" as a selling point has trickled down into shitty flyover country chain restaurants

I predict that the next step is for dumbfuck hicks to complain about this "street food fad"

>>5092367
It isn't street food I admit, as fake as chipotle's bullshit. But there are "italian" ingredients rather than "mexican" which I prefer.

Also as long as you stay in the major cities, we aren't hicks. But oh god outside of the cities, the hicks are like rats

It's an established concept in the chain/franchise world and is in no way unique to Chipotle. Do you think their competitors fly into a rage when they hear "fast casual"? No, they're fast casual too. Panera, Cosi, Five Guys, and many other chains are considered fast casual.

Stop getting so upset over modern commerce. You sound like some angsty kid who just discovered that Santa isn't real.

>>5092394
>Panera, Cosi, Five Guys, and many other chains are considered fast casual.
Yes, and they're overpriced shit, just like Chipotle. They're fast food for people who want to deny the fact they're eating fast food. It's pure aspirational marketing based on class insecurity..

I'm not class insecure. And when I choose to eat fast food I don't need to pay extra to pretend it's something else. I don't give a fuck what the boys in marketing come up with.

Fast food is a necessary evil, because there are situations where it's your only option. But it's still accepting defeat - accepting that I got myself into a situation where that was the best I could do.

And faux-upscale fast food doesn't lessen that sense of defeat for me. If anything it just rubs my nose in the fact that I'm paying what I ought to be paying for something good, but still getting fast food.

>>5092434
>I'm mad because restaurants want to promote themselves to the general public

I find your rage at a fast food chain confusing. How do you feel about actual legitimate social issues if you can muster up this much emotional torment over Chipotle? Does genuine injustice turn you into a quivering mess of tears, or does it trip some fuse and you go catatonic?

L O fucking L. If you feel this much shame at something like that, you are going to die of a coronary or whatever in like 5 years

Holy shit, my flight was delayed, cutting down the time between my connections, just a few minutes to grab some food at the airport, OMG I can't believe I got myself into this situation, how horrible *weeps huge tears while eating Wendy's*

See no one does that. That's how I know you are an elaborate troll

>>5092434
This. A thousand times.
I don't get a sense of "defeat" when I have to eat fast food, but it's never actually good and makes me feel worse afterwards, and it doesn't matter if it came from say, Carl's Jr. or Five Guys, it's all fast food. "Fast Casual" is just a marketing ploy to make uppity consumers feel better about eating fast food. That's all that is.

I just pride myself on eating well. I cook good food at home. I like going out to good restaurants. I have yet to find a chain restaurant that doesn't violate what I consider the aesthetics of good food. Or even qualify as a guilty pleasure. They're just last ditch options for when there's nothing good to eat and you're hungry.

I appreciate that they have to spend lots of money convincing people they're better than that. But my experiences leave me unconvinced. So the marketing is just more Emperor's New Clothes shit to me.

btw, this describes the last time I had Burger King. Paid $6+ for a Whopper. It was a joyless meal. The last thing I want when dining out is a joyless meal. Which is why I avoid fast food.

>>5092502

But I am superior to you in this respect. I can occasionally eat fast food when the need arises, without feeling like They Got To Me or I having to justify it. I can look at an advertisement without feeling mentally conflicted over whether to give in completely, or lash out at something to "prove" that They can't get me.

These are useful skills to have in the modern world, unless you want to go off grid and live like the Unabomer.

I don't feel like They Got Me, nor do I have to justify it. It's more like "I hope this doesn't suck as bad as I remember it, " followed by, "Fuck, it does."

>>5092517
That's not being superior, ninny, that's being desensitized.
You are oversimplifying and projecting an overreaction by anyone who doesn't eat fast food. When you stop questioning and doing the critical thinking about life, your place in it, and the choices you make, and why, then you put a huge damper on your growth as a human being and the growth of human kind in general. That's one of the serious problems with this "information age", no one has to do the critical thinking anymore and everyone can lash out, using subpar education and poor reference materials and in some cases, pure lies and made up "facts". Having standards, or trying to attain personal bests, or not allowing mediocrity in whatever areas of life you choose, is much more of a "useful skill" as you put it, than your ability to accept anything.

>>5092571
lol

>>5092571
>when you stop questioning

But you don't, you just discover more interesting and specialized things to question. While you're attempting to express your first clumsy thoughts about "the boys in marketing", everyone else is groaning internally. Yes, wow, fast food chains have marketing departments. In other breaking news, the CEO of whole foods isn't really a pot smoking hippy, your parents had sex with other people before they met, and Santa isn't real.

I feel like I'm talking to my 15 year old nephew here, and I hope for your sake that you're around that age too, because any mentally stable adult should be able to encounter the phrase "fast casual" without having an existential crisis.

Also fuck these new captchas, what the fuck.

>>5092600
You just come off sounding like a jaded cunt, really. And I'm not the guy who said "boys in marketing", there are other people on this board. Also,
>discover more interesting and specialized things to question
What, like fast food? There's nothing remotely interesting about that. But keep kidding yourself that you're somehow more of an "adult" (since you seem really hung up on that point) because you readily accept mediocrity.

>>5092600
I'm the Anon who referenced the boys in marketing. My point was that this distinction between fast food and fast casual is meaningless when what you get is still fast food. So I refuse to accept it, regardless of how it's marketed. Because I've eaten in these places, and found them just as disappointing as fucking Taco Bell. Just a little more expensive because they're aimed at a wealthier crowd.

Same goes for Whole Foods. I know how they're trying to market it. A place where concerned shoppers can pay a little extra for the hope that words like "organic", "cruelty free" and "local" are in some way meaningful. But when I go there my experience is just that of another posh supermarket where groceries cost a little more than I'm willing to pay, because I'm not getting anything out of the concerned, "good corporate citizen" copy pasted all over the place.

When the marketing says one thing, yet my experience says another I go with my experience, and have no problem derisively dismissing the marketing. Chipotle just happens to be a perfect example of this, for me.

>What, like fast food?

No, you're the one obsessed with fast food. The world is vast and complicated, and here you are boiling everything down to fast food. Honestly, you need to find more worthwhile things to worry yourself about, because constructing your life identity around being that guy who has gone 600 days without processed garbage is shallow and pedestrian. There are entire cities of people who don't obsess over chain restaurants all day, there are even self sustaining communities of hippie farmers in some places who live the life, instead of just bragging on the internet about how angry you feel that marketing happens. Perhaps it gives you a jolt of superiority in your podunk southern town, much like a militant atheist gets a jolt of superiority for being abrasive about his personal theology because it's a reaction against his surroundings, but being able to see a Chipotle sign without flying off the handle isn't "accepting mediocrity", it's being a well adjusted human being.

>>5080923
Personally I like their food and don't mind paying that much occasionally. Yeah, it's a bit more pricey than other food places, but you aren't supposed to make a habit out of eating out. As for complaining about the size, maybe you should try not being a hamplanet. Their burritos are huge, imo, and I can usually make two decent meals from one burrito without any issues at all.

>>5080950
Once upon a time McD owned shares in Chipotle but they separated years ago.

Go fuck yourself and stop saying dumb shit

>>5092643
You're posting IN A THREAD ABOUT FAST FOOD, you dumb motherfucker. Keeping to the topic at hand is not being "obsessed with fast food". How could you possibly judge a person's entire life interests/how or where they live based on one thread on 4chan? Are you omniscient? That would be neato. No, you're a small minded jackass who has a false sense of superiority for absolutely no reason (and apparently thinks changing the topic of a thread at his own whim makes everyone else wrong). I don't think being an all-judging self-aggrandizing ass is being "a well adjusted human being", lol.

>>5092643
Not the Anon you're responding to, but as far as food is concerned eating at American chain restaurants is an almost perfect example of accepting mediocrity.

>>5092663

You sound mad.

>>5092666

When you put it that way I realize you're right. I walked past a McDonalds today and didn't tremble with righteous outrage. I have failed as a human being :(

>>5092672
>I have failed as a human being
That may be the case, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with your opinion of fast food.

But I don't see mediocrity as a cause for indignation. It's just something I try to avoid whenever possible, because I like to eat good food.
