What did you learn today?

They use the dryest of meats and the most low-fat cheese to be "healthy" and completely flavorless; the optional sauce is a must. Funnily enough, before Taco Bell was the healthiest, the #1 was considered McDonald's. Remember when they added apple slices to the dollar menu? Yeah, that was to claim they are healthy.

EDIT: I accidentally just revealed my age by mentioning the dollar menu. Remember when the things on the "value menu" would cost 99 cents rather than 2-5 dollars?

An interesting piece of information : French people put a lot of emphasis on health, and they HATED McDonalds. Because of that, a few years ago, McDonals France went through a big rebranding. First, the logo is not red with a yellow M, it's green with a yellow M. Then, the interior of a McDonald is made out of wood and green furnitures, with the least amount of plastic surfaces possible. You also have a lot of veggie options, salads, fruits, etc... The chicken you eat in France comes from France and must have the certificate claiming it has been raised with access to an open field, and without any GMO. Lastly, there is no one-use dishes. Everything is washable and reusable when used on site, and made of paper or cardboard when taken to go.

Now, french people like McDonalds, and even if it's still fast food, it's considered as pretty healthy, when compared to a kebab for exemple (But we still prefer Burger King, their fries are crispier and their burgers are bigger)

Yeah, they learned the hard way that people in other countries don't have the exact same palate as people in their homeland; it took them a while to figure that one out. Different countries' McDonald's do it too; for example, Japan has the gratin croquette burger, Canada has poutine, Italy has spinach and parmesan nuggets, Poland has the cordon bleu burger, and the Philippines has fried chicken with rice or pasta.

I am envious of all these places, but I know that those products wouldn't be as popular here.

That's for sure ! In France we have 'Croque McDo' which is an americanised croque-monsieur (McDo is how we say McDonalds, be warned if you got to France), but also burgers that use french cheese like emmental or comté, 'Mc Baguette' which is a longer burger with a somewhat baguette-like bread, and in the winter we have 'raclette' burgers with mountain cheese

And of course, at the Mc café for the breakfeast or the goûter (meal usually eaten by children at 4pm), we have various viennoiseries like croissant or pain au chocolat, paired with fruit juice, tea, or coffee. If you are at a good Mc café, like in Paris, you can also have a piece of baguette with jam and butter

So do Americans Add sales tax at checkout instead of including it in the listed price.?
And do they Go into debt during college and shopping till they drop?

In most states, yes.

And do they Go into debt during college and shopping till they drop?

Going into debt during college happens to almost everyone that goes into a university level education in the US. However, that doesn't mean that everyone who goes into debt can't pay it off eventually. I believe it is a scam and has only hurt the American people.

As far as shopping till they drop, very few people do that and usually it is because of a lack of accountability, an extensive budget, or have zero understanding of the consequences of maxing out several credit cards. In other words, so.e people do because of money, stupidity, and/or lack of care.

Its always the giga-cutey anime ones that goes OVERBOARD, that are the craziest and evil :

Why is it always people with anime PFPs who have the most emotionally unstable, intellectually dishonest/brainrotted takes?
I'm not saying all people with anime PFPs are this way,
but it's like the ones who are, consistently have the most UwU, kitten-eyed, cutesy PFP imaginable.
And I'm not just talking about on Twitter, I've observed this everywhere. There has to be something to that.

PS : Its stuff like this, that serve as "bad example" that allow me to become a "better me"
----

As an anime PFP user, I have no idea why it draws the unhinged now. Two decades ago it use to be mostly trolls with anime PFP's.

I have no idea why those same people hate anime culture though despite using anime pfp. It's like they latch on to it and make it as some kind of platform for their own moral gratification and idealogy.

Feminist kawaii antics

I like the art style, but I feel like I have to have my anime pfps different enough (like the one I'm using now) so I don't come off as that type of person.

This is less an anime thing and more: "Appears cute, is pure evil."

I think this is just personal bias. I’ve seen plenty of people with their irl face or some meme as their pfp, and every 2nd or 3rd one of them is absolutely unhinged with vile takes on the world. You could probably draw some correlation that a specific demographic of people have a certain pfp but I think it really just depends on what genre/community of whatever game/media/politcs/etc you participate in.

people with these mental problems are drawn to the designs and colors. That is why MLP had so many of them. Its also same for every indie animation like rwby or hellava boss, small audience makes them feel like their are in an elite group.

(TsuruEdit for SHF : MLP = my little pony)

Had to make some research for my novel. Now I have this information :

French hotels are classified by stars. However, contrary to popular beliefs, the stars do not directly translate to the quality of the hotel. It's only a criteria concerning the services you can find. For exemple :

To go from 1 star to 2 stars, the hotel must (amongst other things) have a minimum of one bathroom per 8 rooms

To go from 2 stars to 3 stars, every room must have a private bathroom and the hotel must provide breakfast if wished (amongst other things)

To go from 3 stars to 4 stars, the hotel must have a reception opened 24/7 and propose a full course meal (amongst other things)

Doesn't mean the bathroom must be clean or the dinner must be good, just means the service must be here. Meaning you can go to a 4 star hotel and still have a shitty stay (things are different for 5 stars since there is an examination, though)

Its full of people like this :

Parody of her apology video by a comedian :
"I'm sorry for all my people getting attacked, all the innocent rapists and murderers and criminals"
"drugs dealers are getting rounded up and just kicked out of this country like they are objects"
