Cheesy gordita crunch prices

Tacobell makes zero sense. Like a Gordita Crunch is $6 by itself, but I can get a box with one, including a taco, burrito, and a side, with a drink for $7.

The Gordita should be like $3-$4 at most. It used to be a double decker taco was like $1.99 and a normal taco was like $1.69, so why buy a taco.

For real. At this point it's like, what's the common denominator here? It's also nuts because they keep doing the same bullshit and wonder why they keep losing money and getting bad PR. They are so out of touch with reality.

China tells its minorities to integrate or face consequences with sweeping new law

As someone who lived in China for about 5 years, it's amazing reading people's comments on China that have never been there, but they watch bullshit propaganda tictoks, and think they know what they're talking about.

I'm 43 from the US. For how ridiculously racist the world thinks the US is because they have the most whiney people with victim syndrome (because you know we have free speech and China doesn't), I have heard/seen legitimately 10x more racist shit living in China in 5 years than I've heard over the last 38 years of my life.

There's government messages all over to hate/kill Japanese. They have an amusement park in the south (I forget where) where it's a replica US aircraft carrier you can visit and outside there's an activity where you can stop US tressed dummies with a bayonet.

China thrives on the imbalance of information between itself and the US. They abuse freedom of speech in the US while controlling all media outlets, social sites, and WeChat in their own country.

Unexpected item in the bagging area!

So a few years ago Kohls fired most of their LP staff. Their thinking was "We still have theft, so let's save money by firing all LP and it will pay the difference of theft" SUPRISE! Theft went up 5x and now they can't hire the people back because they got new jobs. I'm sure they have the CEO a raise for that brilliant idea.

Because everything has to be PG or people throw a fucking snowflake temper tantrum. Even though everyone knows the words they're obviously saying. It's like bleeping out cuas words on the radio. It's not like anyone over 4 doesn't know what they're saying.

As a side note I was an elementary teacher for a decade, your kids are sailors at school, even if you think they're angels.

NYC Mayor Mamdani releases 9/11 records showing officials misled New Yorkers about air quality around Ground Zero

You know, it was a really horrible day, but in the end it was what it was. The air was poison, and I don't think the first responders would have not gone in, they're heros. But the fact that so many of them had some form of cancer or some varient after that, you couldn't even not lie so they can get free medical treatment they more than deserve is fucking garbage.

They need to jail every single person who touched that report. Period.

I need an adult

So, this is kinda weird, but general colors didn't have names for a long time. Like in Greek texts by Homer he describes the water color as dark wine color because the name "blue" wasn't a word. So it's possible when they named a "red onion" purple wasn't a color and considered a shade of red.

Also as others have said purple was the color of royalty and they didn't want an association.
